Chapter 80: Class Reunion
"If Dad heard that, he would definitely scold you again," Lisa said.
Noah smiled helplessly and continued eating his apple.
"Oh, Noah, the university class group chat says they're organizing a class reunion in a couple of days," Lisa said as she looked at her phone.
"That sounds nice, we can go and catch up with some old classmates." Noah smiled.
"I don't really want to go, it's too much trouble. I had many suitors in college, and they might all be there. It would be awkward to see them." Lisa shook her head.
"Oh, it seems like you were quite popular in college!" Noah looked surprised.
"Of course I was! I was also a campus beauty back in the day, with countless suitors. But I didn't accept any of them, in the end, I settled for you!" Lisa giggled, cute and mischievous.
"So you’re calling yourself a campus beauty, huh? Only a blind man like me would fall for you." Noah pretended to look disgusted.
"You're asking for it!" Lisa was extremely annoyed and gave Noah a little punch on the shoulder.
Then, she opened the group chat and her face changed.
"Oh no, I haven't agreed to go yet, but Evelyn said she would go with me."
Evelyn and Lisa had been classmates in the same class group in college.
"Let me see." Noah took Lisa's phone and opened the chat records, while Lisa obediently cuddled up to him.
[A party? I have free time these days, I can go with Lisa!] Evelyn said in the group chat.
Noah looked at Evelyn's profile picture. It was a selfie of her sitting sideways on a red Lamborghini with a beach in the background. She was wearing sunglasses and showing off her full chest and long, fair legs, looking sexy and alluring.
As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, a person named Leon in the group said, [Oh, Evelyn, you have new profile picture! And it's a Lamborghini. Did you buy a car?]
The other classmates said one after another, [Evelyn, you're amazing, it’s only beeen over a year after graduation and you already bought a Lamborghini?]
[I’m so jealous!]
Followed by a double heart and drooling face emoji.
[That car is so cool, a luxury car and a beautiful woman? Evelyn is really impressive!]
After those words, there were a series of thumbs up.
Evelyn seemed to indulge in being praised by everyone. It took her a while to reply, [I didn't buy that car, my boyfriend gave it to me.]
Followed by a blushing emoji.
[Your boyfriend? You’re so lucky! Your boyfriend actually gave you a Lamborghini?]
Some of the female classmates in the group were immediately shocked.
[Yeah, my boyfriend only gave me an ordinary lipstick on my birthday!]
[What a great boyfriend. When can I find a boyfriend like that?]
[I'm so jealous!]
[Evelyn, is your boyfriend the owner of the Rolls-Royce? He must be rich!]
[He's not the owner of the Rolls-Royce, but his family is quite wealthy, you could call them a rich family.] Evelyn replied to the messages.
[A rich family?!]
The group of female classmates exploded again, with a long string of heart-eyes and drooling emojis.
[Evelyn's boyfriend is actually from a wealthy family?!]
[You’re so lucky, Evelyn!
[I envy you. My boyfriend is just an ordinary employee, he works tirelessly every day and is only focused on work, he’s not at all romantic!]
[Yes, I envy you too!]
[I’ll be engaged to my boyfriend in two months,] Evelyn replied, followed by a grimacing face.
[You’re getting engaged?!]
[You’re going to marry into a wealthy family?!]
The female classmates in the group went crazy, spamming the chat.
[Evelyn, are you going to marry into a wealthy family?]
[Is your boyfriend handsome, like the male lead in romance dramas? Is he tall, with good looks and style?]
[Evelyn, you've only graduated for a year and you're already going to be a rich housewife!]
[I’m so jealous!]
[To be honest, he's just average looking, but he is kind and reliable. I like his personality,] Evelyn replied.
[Speaking of Evelyn, after you graduated, weren't you and Lisa at the same company? How is Lisa doing now?] someone asked.
[Yeah, I'm curious too.]
[Lisa was the campus belle back then, she had so many admirers. I remember a guy named Michael who was quite wealthy and gave her gifts on her birthday!]
[What's Michael compared to our class president? He's just a minor character. Don't you remember? Our class president gave Lisa a ten-carat Heart of the Ocean diamond ring and proposed to her!]
[Of course I didn't forget. That ring was crafted with the finest diamonds. They say that there are no visible flaws on it even when you look at it under a microscope, and it’s worth millions!]
[Now that's a true rich man! But in the end, Lisa rejected him.]
[Ah, I can't understand Lisa. Our class president is handsome and wealthy, why did she refuse him?]
"I didn't expect this, honey."
Noah put down his phone and looked at Lisa in surprise.
"I didn't lie, did I? I had many suitors, but I turned them all down." Lisa giggled.
"Our class president, Troy, had all the right qualities, but he was arrogant and proud, which I didn’t like, so I rejected him.”
“I wanted to give my first love and my everything to my future husband! That was what I thought at the time!"
Lisa looked at Noah with wide eyes filled with love.
Noah patted Lisa's head gently, his eyes filled with tenderness.
At this moment, Evelyn sent a message in the group.
[We should leave the past behind. Lisa is already married.]
[What? She's married?]
[Really? That's my goddess!] There was an instant surge of comments on the screen. But this time, most of them were from male classmates.
[She just graduated a year ago, and my goddess has already become someone's wife?]
[I feel so sad! I was planning to buy a house and a car to gain some confidence before pursuing Lisa!]
[Lisa is so beautiful and kind-hearted. The man she married must be amazing!]
[Yeah, who is he? Is he some rich second-generation man?]
[A rich second-generation man? Forget it, he's just a loser!] Evelyn sent a message with an eye-rolling emoji.
[Evelyn, what do you mean? Could Lisa have married a poor guy?]
[Really? With Lisa’s qualities, it should have been easy for her to find a wealthy man!]
[A poor guy? Well, at least some poor guys have ambition and know how to work hard to earn money.] Evelyn said, with a hint of disdain. [But the man Lisa married is a complete loser. He doesn't work at all and just stays at home doing nothing!]
[He doesn't work? Does that mean my goddess is supporting a useless husband? I can't stand it!] The message was followed by an angry emoji.
[Yeah, I absolutely can't stand it. Lisa is the goddess I can't have. I can't just sit back and watch her marry a loser who's worse than me!]
[Well, I have a stable job too. Although my salary’s not high, and I only earn around three to four thousand dollars per month in a factory, I'm definitely better than that loser!]
