Chapter 133: Double Act

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Double Act

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the front gate of the villa.

This was a newly popular Chinese-style courtyard that had gained popularity in recent years. As they entered through the gate, the first thing that came into view was a lawn covering over a hundred square meters.

At that moment, the lawn was already gathering quite a crowd, and looking closely, they were all classmates from high school!

"My goodness, look who’s here!"

"Han, our class president!"

"Han, the school beauty!"

Back in school, Han Jingting, excelling in her studies and blessed with striking looks, had always been the center of attention. Not only was she the school beauty but also the class president. Her arrival immediately sparked an uproar amongst the crowd.

"Han, the school beauty, is getting more beautiful by the day!"

"Back then, Han, the school beauty, was the object of longing for all the boys in our school!"

"That’s right, I won’t lie to you all, I once had a secret crush on Han, the school beauty!"

The boys were now boldly joking with Han Jingting.

Whether or not the boys were sincere, seeing these familiar faces again after so many years full of change truly lifted Han Jingting’s spirits, and she felt as if she had returned to that carefree time of her student days.

At this moment, one of the boys asked half-jokingly, "By the way, we haven’t asked yet, does Han, our school beauty, have a boyfriend now? I wonder if we still have a chance?"

Just as Han Jingting was about to say something, another voice preempted her.

"I think you guys might as well give up, these days Han, our beauty, could probably ’fetch soy sauce’ already!"

During this conversation, a woman in a red dress walked out from the living room.

Dai Siqi!

"Wow, Dai, our beauty, is getting more and more elegant!"

"I think, out of all our classmates, Siqi has been doing the best!"

"Of course! How could an ordinary person afford a house in Dragon Lake First Class?"

Everyone looked at Dai Siqi with indescribable envy in their eyes.

The flattery showered upon her was much to Dai Siqi’s liking. Although she pretended to be nonchalant, her heart was brimming with joy.

"Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. I’m just a department director now, my annual salary is just over two million."

Dai Siqi was feigning modesty, but it was a textbook case of being unlawfully opulent.

The crowd was flabbergasted upon hearing Dai Siqi’s words.

"An annual salary of two million? My god, that’s incredible!"

"Dai, our beauty, is truly remarkable. If we could earn an annual salary of two hundred thousand, we’d consider it a blessing!"

Dai Siqi smiled proudly but then turned and said, "Actually, if we’re talking about the most impressive among us, it has definitely got to be Han Jingting. As far as I know, Han Jingting seems to be the president of Han Corporation now, right?"

"President?"

"Then wouldn’t her annual salary be even higher?"

"Han, our beauty, your annual salary wouldn’t start at five hundred thousand, would it?"

Everyone was excitedly looking at Han Jingting, waiting for her answer.

"Ah? That... I don’t have that much..."

Suddenly bombarded with such questions, Han Jingting became quite nervous.

At that moment, a short-haired girl let out a snort and said sarcastically with a cold smile, "Not that much? Han Jingting, we’re all classmates here, why do you have to lie to us? How come I’ve heard that you’ve been kicked out of Han Corporation and don’t even have a job now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was instantly abuzz.

"No way?"

"Wasn’t she said to be a CEO? How can she be out of work?"

For a moment, the air was filled with voices of doubt.

Han Jingting felt excruciatingly embarrassed, and she frowned as she looked towards the short-haired girl, immediately understanding everything.

The short-haired girl was named Lin Fang, and she was Dai Siqi’s best friend from high school.

Back in high school, Lin Fang and Dai Siqi were thick as thieves and full of jealousy towards Han Jingting.

Now, seeing Lin Fang’s disdain and Dai Siqi’s feigned surprise, Han Jingting immediately realized that their questions and answers were obviously a setup. They intended to take her down a peg and make her lose face in front of all her classmates!

And indeed, that was exactly the case.

As early as yesterday, Dai Siqi and Lin Fang had conspired together, planning to embarrass Han Jingting at today’s class reunion.

In their eyes, Han Jingting had pretended to be pure and innocent back then, causing all the boys in the class and even the whole school to be smitten, stealing all their limelight.

Especially Dai Siqi, who had ardently pursued a boy, only to have him openly confess to Han Jingting and then be rejected by her—Dai Siqi felt utterly surpassed by Han Jingting.

So Dai Siqi decided to use this opportunity to settle the score from those years!

"I’m so sorry, Han Jingting. I really didn’t know you had lost your job..." Dai Siqi put on an innocent face.

Although Han Jingting had seen through the other’s intentions, in front of so many classmates, it was not the right moment for her to lose her temper, so she could only suppress her anger and said it was okay.

But Dai Siqi wasn’t about to let Han Jingting off the hook and followed up with a curious tone, "By the way, Han Jingting, I heard you’re married already."

"You were our school’s beauty queen. Someone as outstanding as you, must have found an equally impressive man, right? I wonder which family’s son he is?"

With Dai Siqi’s question, others also became interested.

"Yeah, Han the great beauty, come on, tell us, which lucky guy has the fortune to marry such a beautiful woman like you?"

"Must be someone rich and powerful, right?"

"Isn’t that obvious? Just look at the beauty of our Han the school flower. An ordinary man wouldn’t be good enough for her!"

Their flattery, however, made Han Jingting feel like there was a thorn in her back.

"Not anymore, actually... my husband is just a very ordinary person..." Han Jingting said with little confidence.

"How is that possible. Han the school flower, you’re being too modest."

Everyone expressed their disbelief.

At that moment, Lin Fang sneered and spoke with sarcasm, "This time you really misunderstood Han Jingting. To my knowledge, the school flower’s husband seems to be living at her expense!"

"Living at her expense?"

"That’s right. And I heard that the guy is a complete loser, doesn’t even have a job, just sits at home all day doing nothing, and has to be supported by Han Jingting!"

Lin Fang’s words completely shattered everyone’s expectations.

Han Jingting had not informed any classmates when she got married, so they were clueless about her situation.

They had all thought that, with Han Jingting’s qualities, the man she married would surely be exceptional, but it turned out to be just a good-for-nothing!

For a moment, everyone was deeply disappointed. They had all prepared flattering remarks but found themselves unable to express them, and the atmosphere turned terribly awkward.

Seeing the disappointed looks from the crowd, Han Jingting felt a darkness within her heart.

Indeed, no matter where she went, this failed marriage was her forever stain!

Chen Xuan, oh Chen Xuan, if only you had a bit of success, I, Han Jingting, wouldn’t have to be so embarrassed!
