Chapter 1151 Rumors in the Group
Chapter 1151 Rumors in the Group
Wang Fei left the group chat and sent a private WeChat message to Shen Xuening: "Shen Xuening, do you remember me?"
Shen Xuening is constantly checking her phone, worried that someone might contact her. She saw Wang Fei's message immediately, and immediately wondered why Wang Fei, with whom she's always had a strained relationship, would contact her now. How strange!
Although she found it strange, Shen Xuening still replied to the message. Whatever it was, she just wanted to find out: "I remember you, we're old acquaintances. Is there something you need?"
When Wang Fei saw that Shen Xuening had replied to her message, she thought things were looking promising and immediately replied, "I heard you're getting married? Congratulations on your wedding!"
Shen Xuening frowned slightly: "Thank you, but this shouldn't be your real purpose. Just tell me directly, what's the matter with this sudden contact?"
Wang Fei felt that Shen Xuening was somewhat indifferent: "I really just wanted to congratulate you, I didn't mean anything else. We've all grown up and matured, are we still as naive as before?"
Shen Xuening didn't really care about her: "Thank you, I received your congratulations."
Wang Fei thought to herself, "Shen Xuening is really clueless: 'Shen Xuening, you're marrying into the Qin family, aren't you going to invite us to the ceremony?'"
Shen Xuening instantly understood Wang Fei's meaning. The children of businessmen dressed up and did things for a purpose. When they got engaged, the Qin family would definitely invite celebrities to attend, and they, who were not celebrities but had some wealth, wanted to make connections.
Shen Xuening: "All the invitations have been sent out, there aren't any left now." This is a polite way of declining, and anyone who knows what's good for them should stop.
Wang Fei had just boasted to her classmates, but now that she'd been rejected, her face darkened: "Shen Xuening, we're classmates, you can attend without an invitation, right?"
Shen Xuening: "No, thank you. The invitations have been sent and the seats have been reserved. If you come, it will disrupt the plan."
Even though the number of guests has been reduced, there are already seventy tables. She hasn't invited many people yet; if she did, there might not be enough seats for a hundred tables.
Wang Fei: "We don't need to sit down, just coming to see you is enough."
Shen Xuening found it amusing: "Our relationship shouldn't be so serious that you're so insistent on attending my engagement party, right?"
Wang Fei bit her lip. Shen Xuening was still as annoying as ever: "Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?"
Shen Xuening: "Next time."
Wang Fei: "Shen Xuening, can you please stop being so aloof? It's not just me who wants to attend your engagement party, many of our classmates want to attend too, look at the group chat."
Shen Xuening muted the messages in the university group chat, and she didn't pay attention to the messages in the group at all, so she didn't know about everyone's discussion: "But you were indeed outside the plan. This matter was organized by the Qin family, and I can't put people in without permission. Maybe next time."
Wang Fei became anxious: "Shen Xuening, our grudges are from our school days. We're adults now, there's no need to hold such a grudge."
Shen Xuening: "It's not that I'm holding a grudge, it's just that it was really unexpected, there's nothing I can do about it."
Wang Fei: "Shen Xuening, are you disregarding everyone's feelings?"
Shen Xuening: "It's not that bad, it's just that I really can't make the decision." She was too lazy to deal with those people. She still remembered their discussion in the group about her being kicked out of the Shen family.
Wang Fei: "Shen Xuening, everyone wants to attend your engagement party. We can skip the meal and just go and see what it's like."
Shen Xuening: "I'm sorry, I really can't make that decision."
Wang Fei became anxious: "Shen Xuening, you don't have to hold a grudge like that, do you?"
Shen Xuening hesitated for a moment, then decided not to reply to the message.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Shen Xuening didn't reply, Wang Fei sent another WeChat message: "Don't just ignore me, give me a straight answer, can we go?"
Shen Xuening replied succinctly: "No."
Wang Fei stared at the two words, full of helplessness: "Everyone is waiting for my answer. If I answer them like this, they will definitely talk badly about you."
Shen Xuening: "Go ahead and say it, you've already said it anyway."
Wang Fei's heart sank. It seemed that Shen Xuening had seen what they had said in the group chat, but hadn't brought it up.
Shen Xuening: "Alright, I need to rest now, that's all for now."
Wang Fei said helplessly, "Is there really no room for maneuver at all?"
Shen Xuening: "That's all for now, I'm going to rest." After that, she stopped replying to any messages Wang Fei sent.
University group——
"Wang Fei, how is she?"
Upon seeing the message, Wang Fei deeply regretted her boastful promise. She never expected Shen Xuening to be so ruthless and to refuse to budge no matter what she said.
"Wang Fei, why aren't you saying anything? Haven't you finished talking yet?"
"Wang Fei, how did the talks go? Where is Shen Xuening's engagement banquet hotel? I need to prepare my dress."
Wang Fei drank a large glass of water, composed herself, and replied, "Shen Xuening won't let us go."
Everyone: "Why?"
Wang Fei: "She holds a grudge. She doesn't want us to go, so let's not get our hopes up."
"Should we go and talk to her?"
Wang Fei: "I've already said a lot of nice things, but she still won't let us go. If you go to her, I'm afraid it will be the same result. You'd better not humiliate yourselves."
"If Shen Xuening is easy to talk to, she shouldn't refuse so many of us, right?"
Wang Fei: "If you don't believe me, go and tell her yourselves. Anyway, she didn't agree when I talked to her. Those who think they're so tough can go and try it."
"Well, since they won't agree, there's no point in bothering them anymore."
"Yes, if she had agreed, she would have agreed to Wang Fei just now. Since she doesn't agree, it means that no one can persuade her."
"It's normal for Shen Xuening to look down on us classmates now that she married into a wealthy family."
“That’s right. Shen Xuening married into a top-tier wealthy family. We are just small fry at best. It’s normal for them to look down on us. Just like Wang Fei said, we shouldn’t humiliate ourselves.”
Zhang Qianwen came out of the shower and heard the message notification sound going off. She quickly picked up her phone to check and was surprised to see an infuriating message in the group chat.
Zhang Qianwen: "Are you all too full? Can't you stop talking badly about others?"
The group was quiet for a while. No one expected Zhang Qianwen to speak suddenly. Everyone realized that Shen Xuening's friends were still in the group, and an awkward atmosphere immediately filled the group.
Seeing this, Zhang Qianwen scolded, "What's wrong? Why did you stop talking? Weren't you all talking so enthusiastically just now?"
Still, no one spoke up.
Zhang Qianwen continued to berate, "Look at you all, what kind of people are you? It's shameful that they let you attend a party like that!"
Wang Fei was displeased: "Zhang Qianwen, you're Shen Xuening's lackey, you're definitely siding with her."
Zhang Qianwen: "Yes, I am a lackey, but what's it to you? Did I curse you?"
Everyone: "..."
Zhang Qianwen continued to berate them: "You guys are all just bored and have nothing better to do. It's someone else's wedding, they can invite whoever they want. They didn't invite you, don't you understand why? And you still have the nerve to gossip!"
Her words weren't particularly harsh, but they were still quite offensive, and for a moment no one in the group dared to speak.
Zhang Qianwen: "You all had better watch your mouths, or you might end up getting stabbed in the back one day!"
Wang Fei: "Zhang Qianwen, that's enough. You've already said so much, can you please stop talking?"
"You think it's offensive? You know it's offensive? Weren't the things you just said offensive? Why aren't you saying anything now?"
"You're all just like the old ladies at the village entrance, so gossipy! If you didn't know better, you'd think you were all quite old!"
"I'm telling you, if you ever want to say bad things about Xue Ning, you'd better do it away from us, or I'll curse you to death!"
After hurling her insults, Zhang Qianwen immediately left the group. She felt disgusted to be in a group with such awful people.
Zhang Qianwen didn't know what was being said in the group chat. She sent Shen Xuening a WeChat message: "Did you see people talking about you in the group just now?"
Shen Xuening: "I didn't see it, I just left the group."
Zhang Qianwen: "I've also retired. We really have great chemistry; we're truly best friends."
Shen Xuening: "That's right."
Zhang Qianwen: "Is your dress ready? Do you need me to get one for you? It will look absolutely stunning."
Shen Xuening: "It's all ready. The Qin family has really gone to great lengths. Looking at all those things, I feel a little overwhelmed with gratitude."
Zhang Qianwen: "This is what you deserve, don't feel bad about it."
Shen Xuening: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
……
June 15th.
Early in the morning, the three siblings from the Yin family arrived and ate with the younger generation from the Shen family. Since everyone was already familiar with each other, there was no formality, and they treated each other like family.
Yin Yushan asked Shen Yingying, "Where are you going to play later?"
Shen Yingying shook her head and swallowed the breakfast in her mouth: "I'm going to the airport to pick up Sister Yaoyao and Brother Dianwen."
Yin Yushan was surprised: "They didn't come with you?"
Shen Yingying said, "They had work to do and couldn't leave yesterday, so they specially flew over today."
Yin Yushan was very enthusiastic; she hadn't seen Qin Yaoyao in a long time and missed her terribly: "Then let's go together."
Shen Yingying looked a little embarrassed: "No, if you go, there won't be enough seats. You guys wait for us at the hotel, and we'll go play together after we pick you up."
Yin Yushan expressed her understanding: "That's fine, but how long will it take you to get to the hotel?"
Shen Yingying estimated: "It will probably be around noon."
Yin Yushan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have lunch and go play in the afternoon."
Shen Yingying nodded: "Okay."
After breakfast, Shen Yingying and Shen Baohong set off, while Qin Yaoyao and Qin Dianwen took the earliest flight. By the time they arrived, the other party had almost arrived as well.
Sure enough, they received a call from Qin Yaoyao just as they arrived at the airport.
A dozen minutes later, the two sides met.
