Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute
Chapter 503 Bragging

Chapter 503: Chapter 503 Bragging

There were six people sitting at the table, none of them businesspeople, but they all had steady jobs. Although they weren’t particularly wealthy, they were all fairly well-off. Wan Dongcheng was late and then said those things, clearly looking down on them.

But what right did Wan Dongcheng have to look down on them?

He was just a college graduate, wasn’t he? College graduates might be treasured in the countryside, but in the city, they are nothing special.

If it wasn’t for Li Julin, would Wan Dongcheng even be worthy of eating with them?

Having been married for a year or two, Li Julin hadn’t arranged a proper job for him. He even had to take an exam for his teaching certificate. From their perspective, Li Julin didn’t think highly of this son-in-law at all.

Divorce was just a matter of time.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the table was becoming increasingly awkward and the expressions on everyone’s faces were off, Dazhuang quickly laughed it off and tried to smooth things over.

"You’re right, Dongcheng, we had the best relationship during our four years in college. Today we must drink to it, I’ll drink to your health first."

With that, Dazhuang picked up his glass and downed it in one go.

Seeing this, Wan Dongcheng reluctantly drank a glass as well.

Dazhuang pointed to the other few men at the table and introduced them one by one to Wan Dongcheng. Upon learning that one of them had his own business and it was doing quite well, planning to buy a car in a few years, Wan Dongcheng’s expression grew more animated, and he even took the initiative to drink with that person.

They were all a bunch of men, and after a few drinks, the earlier slight unpleasantness was forgotten.

After a few drinks, everyone was feeling a bit tipsy, and after boasting about various topics for a while, Dazhuang started talking about women. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he said to Wan Dongcheng,

"Dongcheng, you’ve missed out. Earlier, there was a girl who was exceptionally pretty, like a little fairy. I’ve never seen a girl as beautiful as her."

Wary that Dajun was sitting at the entrance, he lowered his voice significantly.

Wan Dongcheng sneered dismissively, "How beautiful can she be? Is she as pretty as Shiping?"

Having a beautiful wife at home, and the daughter of a professor at that, was Wan Dongcheng’s pride and joy, so every time he returned to his hometown, he made sure to bring Li Shiping along.

Dazhuang clicked his tongue and said, "I know your wife is beautiful, but honestly, this girl is even more beautiful than your wife."

Another man chimed in, "I haven’t seen your wife, so I don’t know how beautiful she is, but frankly, that girl really was very pretty."

He sighed and said, "It’s a pity I’m married and work in a government job, otherwise, I’d seriously pursue a girl like that."

After saying this, he teased Dazhuang, "Dazhuang, you’re not married; you have a chance."

Dazhuang gestured for everyone to glance toward Dajun at the door and shook his head, saying, "I wouldn’t dare."

Having hustled in society for a couple of years, he had a fair judgment of people. Seeing the man sitting up straight, he could tell that he had been in the military and was not someone to mess with.

The thing that Wan Dongcheng could boast about the most was marrying the beautiful Li Shiping. Listening to them now, he felt rather displeased inside, "There are many beautiful women in this world, but not every woman is like Shiping. Not only beautiful but also cultured and intellectual."

Women as beautiful and as cultured as Li Shiping were indeed rare.

Hearing this, the others just gave a disdainful laugh, thinking that Wan Dongcheng was talking like this because he hadn’t seen that girl.

Dazhuang thought the same and, perhaps emboldened by his drinks, the usually fawning Dazhuang was singing a different tune today.

"That girl went into the kitchen. When she comes out, you’ll see, you won’t talk like that anymore."
