260: Chapter 260: Do Not Leave 260: Chapter 260: Do Not Leave “Shen Lexuan, it really is you!

I can’t believe I ran into you here.” A young woman, looking about the same age as Shen Lexuan but decked out in glittering jewelry, sauntered over with a designer purse on her arm and high heels that were twelve centimeters tall, each step accentuated by a sway of her hips.

“You are—”

As the young woman approached, Shen Lexuan stepped away from Lin Fei’s embrace, looked her over carefully, and finally spoke with some uncertainty, “Tan Lin?”

“We graduated just a few years ago and you already don’t recognize me.

People used to say I’ve changed a lot, and I didn’t really believe it.

But now it seems, I indeed have changed quite a bit.”

Tan Lin, adjusting her hair and not giving Shen Lexuan a chance to interject, sighed and continued, “It’s all because of my husband.

Ever since I had a son for him, he has been showering me with jewelry, clothes, handbags, cosmetics; you name it.

Just yesterday, he gave me fifty thousand to buy a bag, and I’m almost sick of it.

I have over a dozen bags at home and don’t even know which one to carry.

But he gave me the money, and I couldn’t just not buy a bag, so after much deliberation, I chose this one for over thirty thousand, though honestly, I don’t even like it much.”

“If it wasn’t for my OCD, feeling uneasy if I leave a store without buying something, I really wouldn’t have bought it.”

With feigned disdain, she lightly patted the newly purchased bag in her hand and then turned her gaze to the bag Shen Lexuan was holding, “Speaking of which, that bag of yours is out of season, isn’t it?

Tsk tsk, that really doesn’t suit the image of Shen, the college belle.

And your husband—oh, I am sorry, I just noticed you aren’t wearing a ring.

So, you aren’t married yet.”

As if discovering something groundbreaking, Tan Lin assessed Shen Lexuan from top to bottom and said, “As roommates during our college years, I must tell you something.

A woman’s prime years are so few.

If I remember correctly, you, like me, are both twenty-six, right?

Once a woman passes twenty-six, both her body and looks start to decline.

If you don’t hurry up and get married, you’ll end up a leftover woman!”

“I see you two are quite close.

If I’m not mistaken, this must be your boyfriend?”

Having just noticed Lin Fei, Tan Lin took a quick glance at him and, noticing not a single designer piece on him, immediately frowned and shook her head, “Dressed quite cheaply, no wonder he has you carrying an out-of-season bag.

Shen Lexuan, oh Shen Lexuan, I really can’t understand your taste anymore.

I remember in college, there were numerous talented young men after you, how could you choose someone like—”

“Enough, Tan Lin!”

Fearful that Lin Fei’s self-esteem might be hurt by Tan Lin’s words, Shen Lexuan coldly interrupted her and took Lin Fei’s arm in a declaring manner, scolding Tan Lin, “Who I like is none of your business!

You know better than I do what kind of husband you’ve married.

I refrain from criticizing you, so you better watch your mouth!”

“Additionally, out of respect for our past friendship, let me kindly suggest that instead of spending money on bags, you might want to invest it, or at least put it in a bank.

Just in case one day your husband replaces you, you won’t find yourself without money for food.”

After rendering Tan Lin speechless and red-faced with her blunt words, Shen Lexuan added unabashedly, “I’m sorry, I take back what I just said.

You don’t have to save the money for bags to put in the bank.

Even if your husband finds someone to replace you, you can always find another wealthy husband.

Just remember to hurry up, as you said yourself, after twenty-six a woman’s body and looks will start to decline.”

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

“Well said.”
