Yu Hao, was the object of Ou Kexin"s last confession as soon as he entered the university. However, he liked Yu Shanshan during his college days and had immediately expressed his love to Shanshan in a high profile manner. Because of this, Ou Kexin hated Shanshan to the bone, and the two people have quarreled fiercely ever since.
Yu Hao is one of Shanshan"s many suitors, but she has never really talked to him.
Now Ou Kexin is catching up on this again?
Wu Jing also said on the other end of the phone: "I don"t know how these two hooked up. Yu Hao firmly refused to accept Ou Kexin at the beginning, and said that you were the only one for him in this life. But it was only a few years since graduation, both of them already met their parents. This time, it seems that Ou Kexin"s turn to bring Yu Hao back to see his parents."
Yu Shanshan threw two punches in the air dejectedly. "I don"t care how they hooked up, I know Ou Kexin brought Yu Hao to see me specifically. She just wants to see me turn into a laughing stock. She wanted Yu Hao to see that the person he once liked had become a fat woman now so that afterwards, he"d be more devoted to Ou Kexin. I know what she wants right down to my toes."
Wu Jing: "Of course I know her intention. Originally, I refused her for you. I said that it"s currently inconvenient for you to go out because of your foot injury. Ou Kexin then asked me your home address and said that she and Yu Hao will pick you up personally instead! I wanted to spray her at that time!"
"When she saw that I still refused, she finally asked me if you still had any lingering thoughts about Hao and maybe that"s why you wouldn"t dare to meet him. I was so angry that I wanted to pull her from the other end of the phone and beat her up. "
Yu Shanshan was also irritated by this remark. "I"ll go to her myself! What does she mean I still have ideas on Hao? I have never thought about him from beginning to end, okay? If I did thought of him, then I should"ve agreed to his confession back when we were still college. But since I didn"t say yes at that time, it"s even a less likely idea now."
Wu Jing: "Calm down, calm down. Of course I know you don"t care about Hao. How old is Yu Hao anyway? He"s still so far below your soldier brother"s level. Ou Kexin is only one who thinks he"s a valuable treasure. She believes that all the women in the world are after her man"s appearance. She doesn"t know that your man is much better than hers. At that time, I was just so angry at her shamelessness, and then I suddenly remembered that your man had come back.
So what you should do is that you could take him out for a walk, so that Ou Kexin can take a good look at what a real fine specimen of man really is and then you can hit her in the face. Let her know that even if you"re now fat, you are still better than her."
Yu Shanshan covered her forehead and sighed sadly. "Jing"er, I know you mean well, but I really can"t bring Yuen Long. Even if I want to invite another person, I still won"t cooperate. We haven"t even had anything between us yet. How can I ask others to go with me to support this kind of situation? I don"t want to see people turn indifferent towards me as Ou Kexin starts to laugh."
In fact, Yu Shanshan really didn"t want Yuen Long to show her off to others at all. She is self-aware. In her present image, walking beside him would be like Beauty and a Beast. Of course she"s Beast.
She didn"t want to walk beside him like this, giving people a chance to point their fingers and laugh at him for finding a Beast. She doesn"t have the courage.
Wu Jing was silent for a while before she said, "Well, I"m sorry Shan"er. I shouldn"t have made up my own mind to say yes for you. I"ll put it off now. Let"s not go to any old woman"s party."
Yu Shanshan knew that Wu Jing meant well. In the past, whenever someone laughed at her, Wu Jing would stand up, go back and scolded them together until they were b.l.o.o.d.y. Hence, they no longer dared to laugh at Shanshan especially if Wu Jing"s around.
Shanshan knew that Wu Jing only wanted to save her face this time as well, and didn"t want Ou Kexin to laugh at her. How can she blame her?
"Jing"er, don"t cancel it, I"ll go with you!"
Wu Jing was stunned. "Shan"er, are you really sure you want to go by yourself?"
"Why, not? I can beat the c.r.a.p out of her by myself, and let her know why the flowers are so red! Though she just wants to see me being laughed at, I wouldn"t give her the satisfaction. What"s wrong with me being fat? I"m fat but I didn"t eat her rice, so why should I avoid her? I"m not afraid of any party!"
Wu Jing laughed and cheered her up, "Yes, even if you"re fat, you"re the most beautiful girl in the world! You"re much prettier than Ou Kexin. Why are you afraid of her? Don"t be afraid, sister, I"ll go with you, and we"ll beat her up. "
After hanging up the phone, Yu Shanshan clenched a fist and secretly cheered herself up: It"s no big deal, it"s just getting fat, it"s normal to gain weight once you have a child, why can"t people see this?
In order to do a good job in psychological construction, Yu Shanshan found a custom-made dress that showed her shoulder, the bottom is irregularly long, the waist part was well covered up with ta.s.sels, covering the fat and the st.u.r.dy waist fat and strong thighs, but the finishing touch is to reveal white skin on the shoulders. It takes advantage of your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
This dress cost her thousands of dollars and had to be customized for the company"s annual meeting. Although it hurt her flesh, it was really beautiful. Even if she"s fat, she won"t look greasy in this dress.
When she put on her skirt, Yu Shanshan curled her locks again, leaving only two strands of hair on both sides of her cheek, which fell naturally after curling, both playful and thin. She then carefully put on a makeup. Looking into the mirror, her image is indeed alright.
When Wu Jing came to pick up the car, she turned around her twice and cooed, "Not bad. I told you you"re the most beautiful girl."
Yu Shanshan raised her chin. "Even if I am fat, I am the best-looking fat woman. If you have the ability to make Ou Kexin grow as heavy as me, can you also say she"ll be as pretty?"
"I promise, she won"t look as good as you if she"s so fat."
Since she was blown all over by Wu Jing, Yu Shanshan went out valiantly, feeling like she"s 1.8 meters tall today.
The place for the dinner was set up in a very famous restaurant in the city. Wu Jing said at a glance, "This is Ou Kexin"s choice, she"s showing off that her man has money."
"Is Yu Hao"s family really rich?" Yu Shanshan really didn"t notice.
"Yu Hao"s family is very rich. Huating Entertainment belongs to them. They manage big-name celebrities, such as Yunni, Fan Ke and Nikun. Yu Hao is the prince of Huating, how can one say he doesn"t have money."
"He"s an authentic second generation rich kid. They even have a lot more money compared to Ou Kexin"s family."
"Though Ou Kexin"s family is considered rich, yet still not the same as Yu Hao"s. So, now that she got herself a rich husband, she can unbearably show off to everyone, especially in front of you."
"Screw that" Yu Shanshan doesn"t feel envious at all. What"s there to show off? Back then, she used to spend money like its running water and had treated it like dirt. This kind of scene doesn"t scare her.
The two women told the waiter Ou Kexin"s name and they were immediately taken to a box.
It was quite lively in the box. It"s not just OuKexin and Yu Hao, two former cla.s.smates are also present. These two women are working with Ou Kexin in the first place. They"ve stood firmly in Shanshan"s hostile camp even back in college.
Heh, Ou Kexin this is indeed a Hongmen banquet.
Sure enough, before the official greetings began, the two female cla.s.smates already stood up and looked at Yu Shanshan in surprise, as if they"ve just seen an unbelievable thing.
"Oh, my G.o.d, are you Yu Shanshan? What happened to you?"
"Yu Shanshan, are you taking hormones? Why are you so fat? I didn"t even recognize you."
Yu Shanshan rolled her eyes in her heart, and she did not believe that these two idiots had not listened to what Ou Kexin was saying about her figure behind her back. As for being so surprised, she pretended to act the same.
She looked at the two of them and said in surprise, "Oh, I almost didn"t recognize you either. You were buck-toothed, aren"t you? Your teeth were so bad at the beginning, it seems you"ve gone to fix them? But it didn"t look much better after the adjustment."
Buck Teeth"s face changed immediately but before she could get angry, Yu Shanshan turned to the other person, "Ah, you"re Little Squint, your eyes are now open. They"re a lot bigger, but it"s not very natural. In the future, try to find a professional hospital. Don"t be reluctant to spend money."
The woman who was called Squint changed her face and stopped pretending to be an acquaintance. "Yu Shanshan, why is your mouth so smelly!"
Yu Shanshan simply pulled Wu Jing, who was about to burst out laughing, into their seat. "It"s nothing. I"ve always been a talker. I"ll say whatever that comes to mind. If I"m wrong, you won"t be able to hear me. Come on, sit down, sit down. It"s tiring to stand and talk. Let"s sit down and say, "don"t mention it" "
It"s not just the two women but even Ou Kexin was angered by Yu Shanshan"s anti-guest att.i.tude, but she forcefully endured the attack because of the fact that her fiance is currently present.
Wu Jing gave Shanshan a thumbs up under the table. Yes, sister! You did not lose your fighting capacity. I admire you!
Yu Shanshan responded with a smug look in her eyes. Even if this elder sister is out of shape, she won"t back down without a fight and is still capable at giving people death..
In the end, the only man present and today"s hero, Yu Hao, stood up and played a roundup. "We"re all alumni. We rarely get together after graduation. Let"s have a good chat. Let"s not talk about unhappy things."
As he spoke, Yu Hao looked at Yu Shanshan with a gentle smile on his face, not at all surprised when he saw how Yu Shanshan looked like now.
Yu Shanshan looked at him carefully. Tall, handsome in appearance, well-dressed, gentlemanly in manner, just like a n.o.ble son. Without the youth of college days, he has become more mature and stable after social experience, but it also added infinite charm to him.
Such a man is considered really popular among women. No wonder Ou Kexin chased him for three years, even if he didn"t like her.
However, though he is hot potato for Ouke Xin, but not for Shanshan.
She had met the most attractive men in the world that offered the most charming and elegant demeanor.
Yu Hao is not enough to impress her.
Yu Shanshan drinks her own water and did not look at Yu Hao anymore.
Yu Hao raised an eyebrow and took the initiative to speak to her: "Shanshan, long time no see."
Yu Shanshan nodded: "Long time no see."
Yu Hao smiled. "When you dropped out of school in your senior year, n.o.body had any idea what was going on. Are you all right now?"
Yu Shanshan nodded, "Not bad."
Ou Kexin interjected, "Shanshan, I didn"t know what happened when you dropped out of your senior year of school. I recently saw your son in Tianyi. He looked like three or four years old. Then I realized, did you go to give birth to a baby in your senior year?"
Yu Shanshan silently counted one, two, three in her heart. Sure enough, on the count of three, Buck Teeth looked horrified and asked, "What? Yu Shanshan, did you get pregnant before marriage in your senior year? "
Yu Shanshan wanted to laugh at her. This acting, this script is totally corny and tacky. She stopped using it 800 years ago, Okay?
Yu Shanshan smiled then without shame, bitterness or embarra.s.sment, she admitted very frankly, "Yes, I went home to have a baby during that time. It wasn"t so bad and I gained weight. You"re being naive and weird. Is there anything surprising about having a kid during college?
The entire audience became silent.

鸿门宴 or Hongmen Banquet (hóngményàn) From the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu", Liu Bang sent troops to guard Hangu Pa.s.s after he captured Xianyang in 206 BC. Before long, Xiang Yu led an army to invade and hosted a banquet in Hongmen to "entertain" Liu Bang. At the banquet, Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu"s counselor, ordered Xiang Zhuang to a.s.sa.s.sinate Liu Bang. Liu Bang escaped under the guard of Fan Fan Kuai and others. Later, the "Hongmen Banquet" was used as a metaphor for a banquet with hidden dangers and attempted to harm guests.......So Chinese Red Wedding?
货(huò) basically means goods or commodity, but nowadays it"s used as an insult as “蠢货 (chǔnhuò) idiot” and “二货 (èrhuò) stupid person”.
Monique: I"m satisfied with Shanshan, she"s not the fragile white lotus type.
Also I"m baaack! I"m late in publishing this chapter today. You see this morning, I tried purchasing a limited version of the Chinese Harper Bazaar February issue, which featured Xiao Zhan on the cover. Frustratingly, all 30,000 limited copies got sold out in 18 seconds. Eighteen. Seconds. d.a.m.n.
Spent the next few hours hyping and whining about it in Twitter.
