Chapter 128: 128 Jealousy_1

When Lin Xiangwan came in with the coffee, Qin Muchuan and Song Yuyun were already preparing to leave.

"Aren’t you going to drink the coffee?" Lin Xiangwan didn’t know why, but she felt particularly uneasy and had an urge to confront Qin Muchuan.

Qin Muchuan saw Lin Xiangwan and said, "Perfect, could you please accompany this lady to the restaurant for a meal?"

Lin Xiangwan intended to refuse, but coincidentally, the beautiful woman in front of her was her university classmate. Due to this connection, she couldn’t really refuse.

She turned around and nodded to her old classmate as a sign of acknowledgment.

Song Yuyun also responded with a smile.

Qin Muchuan simply said to Song Yuyun, "If you need anything, please feel free to speak directly with Manager Lin. I must excuse myself now."

Song Yuyun, who wasn’t a pretentious woman, joked, "As long as you sign the agreement there will be no other issues!"

Qin Muchuan nodded, didn’t look at Lin Xiangwan, left the meeting room.

Lin Xiangwan felt even more upset, a rising anger slowly brewing in her heart and started banging about.

How annoying...

Was he pretending not to know her?

Song Yuyun had no idea about the relationship between Lin Xiangwan and Qin Muchuan, so she remained oblivious to Lin Xiangwan’s discomfort.

She cheerfully asked, "Xiangwan, long time no see!"

In university, Lin Xiangwan, Song Yuyun, and Shen Hanqian were roommates and they had a great relationship. However, after Lin Xiangwan moved to Jiangcheng to pursue her career, their contact lessened. "Yeah, I didn’t expect you to come to Jiangcheng!"

"Yes!" Song Yuyun looked at her envyingly. "You are a manager in such a big hotel, you’re so awesome. You’re much better off than me, a simple employee..."

Lin Xiangwan wrinkled her nose. "What is so amazing about being a hotel manager? Managers are everywhere now, as common as leaves in a forest!"

"You earn a high annual salary!" Song Yuyun still said enviously. "And private corporations are the best places to hone your work skills!"

"You are the lucky one, working in a state-owned bank, a stable and easy job!" Lin Xiangwan also said jealously. "Not everyone can get a job there. I can only envy you. I have to earn a high salary, otherwise, all this hard work isn’t worth it!"

Many people envied her for working in a state-owned enterprise, but only Song Yuyun knew about the bitterness she had. "Ah... I have my troubles too!"

Lin Xiangwan led Song Yutong to the restaurant. Hundreds of dishes were neatly arranged on the long tables, which amazed Song Yuyun.

After picking up a plate of food, the two found a corner and sat down.

"When are you and Song Yichen getting married?" Song Yuyun asked curiously.

Lin Xiangwan casually stroked her hair and spoke as though she didn’t care. "There’s no chance for me and Song Yichen. He has a girlfriend and they’re probably going to get married!"

"Huh? You two..." Song Yuyun was taken aback.

Lin Xiangwan laughed indifferently. "Everything is changing! Never mind me, how about you and your boyfriend? When are you getting married?"

Bringing up this matter, Song Yuyun became upset too. "We haven’t decided yet, let’s talk about it later!"

Although her old classmate didn’t complain about anything, Lin Xiangwan could sense that her journey towards marriage wasn’t going smoothly either.

Let’s not talk about the unhappy things for now.

"What about Shen Hanqian? How is she doing?" Lin Xiangwan changed the topic.

Among their roommates, Shen Hanqian came from the wealthiest family. She always had a high standard for food, clothing, and living, she was from a completely different world.

At first, she felt hesitant to approach Shen Hanqian since she was a pampered rich girl, which created a distance.

However, after a series of incidents, she found that Shen Hanqian is a generous person who doesn’t care about petty matters. She’s simple-minded and has a strong sense of justice, and above it all, she was never pretentious.

She also used to talk about how a woman must treat herself well. A man has to buy designer brands for her, provide a luxurious life, because if a man loves a woman, he must give her the best life possible.

When she was young, she didn’t understand this and thought Shen Hanqian was too concerned about a lavish lifestyle. But now that she thought about it, Shen Hanqian was correct.

She has always been saving for Song Yichen, he never voluntarily bought her anything, which just proves that he truly didn’t love her!

If a man cherishes a woman, he should give her the best of everything, right? Just like when Song Yichen was at his lowest point in his twenties.

At that time, he must have cherished her very much.

Song Yuyun sighed again. "Hanqian is not doing well either. Although her husband provides a luxurious life, he is continuously having affairs. She is very depressed..."

Lin Xiangwan couldn’t help smiling. "It seems we all have our own stories; nobody’s journey is smooth!"

Song Yuyun nodded affirmatively. "Yes, none of us have a smooth journey!"

Lin Xiangwan stirred her coffee a few times and nonchalantly asked, "You seem to be quite familiar with Qin from Huatai..."

"Cough cough..." Song Yuyun almost spat out her food and quickly wiped her mouth. "We are not that close, just that he took out a loan from my bank, and I am in charge of this loan!"

"But I feel you two are quite familiar!" Lin Xiangwan ventured further.

Song Yuyun pouted. "We have interacted with each other more than a few times!"

"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan felt even more uncomfortable. So they were indeed quite familiar. "So you are now in the Credit Department?"

Song Yuyun could sense the surprise from her old classmate, the Credit Department was indeed considered a lucrative department to outsiders. "Ah... I just got promoted to it!"

"Were you at the counter before?"

"Yes!" Song Yuyun didn’t want to talk more about this.

"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan could sense that Song Yuyun must have gotten into the Credit Department through connections, otherwise how could she ever make such a big jump? "That’s great! That department has a lot of growth potential!"

"That’s not it, working in a bank is a hellish job, and working in the Credit Department is even more so." Song Yuyun complained again, and sighed. "I am planning to go abroad for another degree. I am tired of it here! I’m losing my sense of direction, I don’t know where my future lies."

More than two-thirds of the students from B University go abroad to further their studies, the remaining third usually has connections and enters government offices, waiting to get promotions and become wealthy.

Lin Xiangwan felt her life was even more directionless due to its pressure. "That sounds pretty good."

Song Yuyun took a bite of her rice. "It’s just a preliminary thought."

"So you... are planning to break up with your boyfriend?" She didn’t want to bring up this question, but she couldn’t help feeling a vague sense of worry, so she asked.

"He seems not to want to marry me, and I... seem to like another man more!"
