Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

The minute she entered, she attracted nearly everyone’s gazes.

She, Gu Qingjiu, and Zhong Xiaoxiao, similarly had the attributes to attract others’ attention.

Unlike the low-profile outstanding vibe that Gu Qingjiu and Zhong Xiaoxiao exuded, Xie Yuning was extremely proud, like a white swan with its neck raised.

Gu Qingjiu had seen many young misses from rich and influential families, especially those from royal families.

The noble and elegant air they exuded was natural.

After all, man is the product of his environment.

From how Gu Qingjiu saw it, Xie Yuning’s manner was too deliberate.

There was a pretentious vibe about the way she was behaving. Something felt off.

However, in others’ eyes, they would see Xie Yuning as high-profile and glamorous.

Gu Qingjiu lowered her head and gently pursed her lips.

Many people got near Xie Yuning in an instant, some speaking respectfully, and some very obviously fawning upon her.

Even Tang Han and a few others moved closer to her, behaving as though they were very chummy with her.

Zhong Xiaoxiao and Gu Qingjiu didn’t go over. Zhong Xiaoxiao even let out a soft scoff, her fingertips wrapped around a cup as she gently spat out these words, “A sparrow has flown into the skies, and the edge of its tail is even curling upwards.”

This was the first time Gu Qingjiu heard Zhong Xiaoxiao say words that were slightly mean.

She looked up in astonishment, yet the smile on her lips remained faint. “What’s the matter?”

Zhong Xiaoxiao glanced at Gu Qingjiu, then looked sideways. “She hooked up with the son of a nouveau riche. He is indeed a man of striking appearance and had just returned from overseas studies. His family’s net worth is at least a few hundred million yuan. I heard they’re preparing to get married, and these days she goes around showing off in our class’s group chat. Everyone’s buttering her up now.”

Coming from Zhong Xiaoxiao, these words only sounded a tad disdainful, and not jealous.

Because she was outstanding.

“Oh.”

Gu Qingjiu’s response was bland.

She lowered her head and thought about it. It was the same for herself as well, having enjoyed a meteoric rise in life after becoming acquainted with Helian Niancheng.

But there was a difference, in that she wasn’t the sort of person Xie Yuning was. Moreover, she had capabilities now as well.

Class reunions were like this. Whoever became rich and successful, or found a wealthy boyfriend or husband, would become the center of attention among the classmates.

Society was pragmatic these days, to begin with.

After updating her about Xie Yuning, Zhong Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “I have yet to ask you about your boyfriend. What does he do? Is he also in the army?”

Gu Qingjiu gave it some thought. Since Helian Niancheng was now major-general in Penalan, he was also in the army too?

Hence she nodded. “Yes, he’s also in the army.”

“Oh, what line of work is his family in?”

Zhong Xiaoxiao asked this naturally. When she saw Gu Qingjiu pause, she instantly explained, “I’m just asking you in private as an old classmate. Or as a friend. Moreover, you’ll be asked this later on. If you truly do not wish to speak about it, it’s okay. When someone asks you later I’ll help you deflect the question too.”

But looking at Gu Qingjiu’s outfit, Zhong Xiaoxiao didn’t believe that her fiance was an ordinary person.

Gu Qingjiu was in a difficult position. “It’s not that I’m reluctant to tell you. But my fiance’s family condition is rather complicated, and I’m also not too sure what line of work his family is in. All I know is that they’re extremely wealthy, but their wealth is not the illegal sort.”

Zhong Xiaoxiao was speechless.

She nearly lost control and laughed out loud. This line was all she needed.
