Chapter 1002
A Group of Country Bumpkins
At this moment, someone in the crowd said to Li Meijia, "Susu herself is quite good-looking, so her boyfriend must be pretty good too. We weren't really curious about her buying a car, but what you said has piqued our interest. If you know, just tell us, don't keep us in suspense!"
Li Meijia said, "Then I'll just say it: Bai Susu's boyfriend only paid a fraction of the price. You guys say you have no money, fine, but you still like to pretend to be rich, hahaha... It's hilarious!"
Everyone knows that Li Meijia was Su Lingyi's most loyal follower when they were in school. Su Lingyi was very hostile towards Bai Susu, so Li Meijia naturally sided with Su Lingyi. Everyone knew that Li Meijia's purpose in doing this was to trample Bai Susu underfoot in order to please Su Lingyi. However, everyone still had some doubts about Li Meijia's words.
One of the female classmates, who loved gossip, said, "Meijia, so you just happened to be there when they were buying the car?"
Li Meijia shook her head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person. I can't afford a luxury car, and I certainly won't go to a luxury car dealership. I'm not like some people who have no money but still like to pretend to be rich! Ruoyao just told me about this!"
After hearing Li Meijia's words, everyone turned their attention to Shen Ruoyao. Shen Ruoyao, seeing everyone's gazes, said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. A few days ago, my husband and I went to a 4S dealership to choose a car for my younger brother as a wedding gift. Who knew we'd run into Bai Susu and her boyfriend..."
I remember his name was Xu something... Oh, right, I think it was Xu Bo'an. He was choosing a car. When I saw that they needed a loan to buy a million-dollar car, I kindly asked them if they needed any help. But they didn't appreciate it at all. It made me feel like I was showing off in front of them, which was really embarrassing!
When Shen Ruoyao finished speaking, she tossed her long, wavy hair back and looked smug.
Upon hearing this, Li Meijia made an exaggerated expression of surprise and said, "Wow, Ruoyao, you're so kind! You're willing to help your classmate's boyfriend buy a car. Who would help someone who likes to put on airs like that?"
Upon hearing Shen Ruoyao's words, the other classmates all gaped in astonishment. One of them exclaimed, "Wow, Ruoyao! I've heard from the classmates' group chat that you've become both rich and beautiful. It's true! You're so generous when your classmate's boyfriend buys a car; that's no small sum!"
"Yes, yes, if they can't afford it, they shouldn't buy it. You're even helping them. I could never be as kind-hearted as you!"
"Ruoyao has plenty of money now. Look at that pretty face and soft skin, she must have spent a lot of money on skincare. I heard your husband is quite wealthy, what does he do? Would you mind telling us?"
Shen Ruoyao's appearance has changed drastically since she was in school. Anyone with eyes can see that such a big change in Shen Ruoyao cannot be achieved simply by using expensive cosmetics. It must be due to the use of high-tech methods. However, this classmate did not dare to say it too bluntly, for fear of making Shen Ruoyao angry, so he said it like this.
However, Shen Ruoyao didn't mind at all and made no attempt to hide the fact that she had undergone cosmetic surgery. After all, only those with money could afford such things, and she had spent a fortune on her face. How could she show her upper-class status if she didn't tell them? So, Shen Ruoyao openly told everyone, "What's inconvenient about that? My husband is in the jewelry business. If you ever come to Suhang and buy jewelry from us, we'll give you all a discount! As for my skin? You all know what I looked like before. I won't lie to you, I've had cosmetic surgery!"
One of the female classmates, who wasn't particularly pretty, said, "Every woman wants to be beautiful, and cosmetic surgery is very common now. I also want to be beautiful. I've looked into the costs, but they're too expensive. I can't afford it. If I had as much money as you, I would definitely get cosmetic surgery too! Yours looks great, and your face looks very natural. How much did it cost? Tell me so I can give up!"
Shen Ruoyao said, "It wasn't much money, it cost about two million in total!"
Upon hearing Shen Ruoyao's words, the female classmate exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, so much money just for plastic surgery? That's an eye-opener!"
Seeing her female classmate's surprised expression, Shen Ruoyao felt a surge of pride and continued, "This only covers the cost of the plastic surgery; it doesn't include the subsequent maintenance and cosmetics. If you add in all the miscellaneous expenses, it would be at least three million!"
Upon hearing this, the female classmates all looked at Shen Ruoyao with envious eyes and said, "Wow, Ruoyao, we are so envious of you! You are definitely a wealthy lady now! I wish I could marry such a rich husband!"
One of the girls, Zhao Xiuru, had always been on good terms with Bai Susu since high school. She couldn't stand Shen Ruoyao's boastful attitude, so she glanced at Shen Ruoyao with disdain and then said to everyone, "Yeah, Shen Ruoyao found a man older than her father to be her husband. If you find a husband like that, wouldn't you have the same opportunity?"
The atmosphere became much quieter after Zhao Xiuru said this, and many boys and girls couldn't help but show some sarcastic smiles.
Seeing this, Shen Ruoyao was furious. She slammed her hand on the table and said to everyone, "What are you all laughing at? What's so funny? It's my ability to find a husband like this. You guys would be envious if you wanted one! And you guys can't even earn money yourselves, yet you have the nerve to laugh at me. It's utterly unreasonable!"
Li Meijia said, "Yes, Ruoyao is absolutely right. What era are we living in? What's wrong with marrying someone older than yourself? She can easily spend three million on plastic surgery. You could never earn that much in your entire lives. The difference between people is just that big. And you still have the nerve to laugh. I don't know where you get your confidence. You're just a bunch of bumpkins!"
Hearing Li Meijia's words, Zhao Xiuru, who had spoken earlier, became unhappy and said to Li Meijia, "I think we should have a bottom line as people. We shouldn't force ourselves to do things we don't want to do just for money!" (End of this chapter)
