Wu Jing was about to kneel on her knees immediately to express her admiration for this sister of hers. Look at these other women holding back. They must be furious.
Wu Jing smiled and cheered for Shanshan, "Currently, a lot of people acquire licenses to get married while still in school. You could actually see a lot of them sharing photos of their diplomas and babies online nowadays. In fact I envy it. They are the ones who started quite early at solving the major issues in life. That means old aunts like me are left to help out the family."
Besides, those who gave birth while still in school actually had it better. By the time they graduate, they no longer have any problems or delays in landing a job, hence there is more room for improvement in their careers."
What Wu Jing said is actually a common thing in the workplace. Although discrimination is frowned upon these days and equality between genders is encouraged, there are still many restrictions on women in the workplace. Women will eventually get married and have children when they are older. Once they give birth, they have to stop working for a period of time, however, your job will not necessarily wait for you. If you're not available to do it, there will always be other candidates who can take your place any time.
Especially for female dancers, their figure is the first priority, that's why they can't easily go back to work immediately after giving birth. They have to work hard to get back to their ideal figure in order to continue their careers. There's also that reality that by the time you return, your have been replaced by someone else.
It's undoubtedly a lot easier if you can already face problems of bringing up a child before the start of your career.
As a woman, Ou Kexin naturally understood this reality, and for a moment she had nothing to say. They were already adults when they were in college, so it was not common to have a child. It's indeed not against the law. It's everyone's right and freedom.
The other people just looked at each other. Ou Kexin smiled and said, "Of course, having kids in college is not a crime and we don't discriminate against Shanshan. It's just that we never saw Shanshan have a boyfriend during that time. We always thought Shanshan was single. So of course it was surprising for us to hear that she had a baby all of a sudden. Shanshan, did you really have boyfriend that time? I haven't seen you bring anyone to school. Which reminds me, why didn't you bring anyone today? By the way, is he your husband now?"
The other two people also echoed her questions and urged: "Yes, children must be born to married parents, Shanshan, why don't you bring your husband so he can meet everyone?"
They would like to see what kind of man had the courage to want a fat person like Shanshan. This is not a bad thing to ask, is it?
Wu Jing did not wait for Yu Shanshan to speak before saying, "Shanshan's husband is quite busy when they were still dating back in college, so he had no time to visit our campus. Now he is even busier, how can he have time to come to a party full of idle people like us?"
Ou Kexin asked with a smile: "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. It's already evening. Is it hard not to get off work for a meal?"
Ou Kexin had already asked the people working in Tianyi and they have shared that Yu Shanshan had always been alone with her child, and there was no husband to speak of at all. So it's possible that Yu Shanshan was abandoned afterall. Also, the way she looks now, she is fat and ugly. What kind of man has the courage to like such a woman? No wonder he decided to abandon her. Ou Kexin doesn't believe this nonsense about Shanshan's husband being busy at work. It's an obvious lie.
Wu Jing knew that Ou Kexin only wanted to see Yu Shanshan make a fool of herself, hence why she deliberately clung to this story. But to still ask for a meeting? Dream on.
She grabbed Yu Shanshan's hand under the table and shook it as a sign for her not to be angry. Wu Jing explained for her, "Shanshan's husband is a soldier who defends our country. Soldiers split their heads and spill their blood in the barracks. How can he be like the rest of us who can easily leave after working from nine to five and eat whenever we want to? If you want to see Shanshan's husband, wait until next time so you can come and see her husband at home. "
Everybody exchanged glances again when they heard these words, their eyes sharing the schadenfreude that they all knew about.
So it turns out that the guy is just a poor soldier. It's no wonder he wanted Yu Shanshan to be fat. Since he was not at home all the year round, he must not be afraid that his wife is big. Due to his work, there's no need for her to take him out to meet people. It's no wonder he didn't abandon Yu Shanshan.
Ou Kexin looked at the precious man beside her, feeling so much better than that her fiance is not way comparable to Shanshan's soldier. She felt comfortable at the moment, and the depression that was caused by Yu Shanshan from their school days suddenly disappeared.
What's the use of being prettier than yourself and being liked by men back then? Now Shanshan has become a hot-eyed housewife. No money, no power, no status. She even has to go to work all day to do a little consultations just to make money.
Being like this, she is no longer fit to carry her shoes.
Ou Kexin's smile was brightened by her newfound sense of superiority. She hugged Hao's arm closely, smiled and said to him, "Shanshan is now working as a consultant in a training institution. I don't think the working environment there is very good. Anyway, she is an old classmate. Let's help her. It's better to arrange a job for her in Huating than to be a consulting teacher here."
Yu Hao smiled indulgently at her, then looked at Yu Shanshan and said, "Of course, it's no problem to arrange a job for an old classmate. Shanshan, Huating has a dance studio that specializes in training artists. I wonder if you're interested."
Ou Kexin patted him on the arm in a petulant way and said, "Really, how can Shanshan dance now, let alone train artists? Who do you want Shanshan to teach?"
Yu Hao glanced at Yu Shanshan's figure and apologized apologetically: "Sorry Shanshan, I didn't mean that. I just remembered that you used to dance very well, so that's what I said. I have no other meaning. Please don't mind."
I mind! I really want to slap you both to death right now! Who doesn't know that you're playing a duet here, Bah, as if Hua Ting is amazing, I don't want it!
After hacking the two persons to death a hundred times in her heart, Yu Shanshan smiled and said, "No, I think my present job is very good. I don't want to change it for the time being. Thank you for your kindness."
Ou Kexin shrugged. "If you don't want to, then forget it. I'll give you a business card later so you can contact us if you change your mind. You don't have to be polite with us. We're old classmates anyway. It's no problem to help arrange a job."
Yu Shanshan still smiled and continued to cut these two with a knife in her heart.
Just when she became very impatient and wanted to find an excuse to leave, her phone rang. Yu Shanshan cheered up and quickly took out her cell phone to see who had rescued her this time, but it turned out to be a strange number.
She usually distrusts answering strange numbers, but at this time she desperately needs to be rescued. Even if it's a wrong number or a marketing promotion, she will say that she is a friend looking for her and then take the opportunity to leave this boring meal.
Yu Shanshan got on the phone, and before she could ask who it was, the other end of the phone remembered a affectionate cry that resounded through the sky: "Mom."
It's her little fat boy!
"Mom, mom, where have you been and why haven't you come home?"
Yu Shanshan looked at the phone number again and asked tentatively, "Whose cell phone did you use to call me?"
Little fat man: "It's Dad's cell phone! I remember Mom's number, then I called you"
Yu Shanshan specially taught the little fat man to memorize her phone number, just in case he got lost or couldn't find her, but she didn't expect him to use it now.
Yu Shanshan: "Have you eaten yet?"
The little fat man was obviously very happy. "Yes, Mom, Dad made me big drumsticks and prawns. It's delicious. Mom, you're not even here. You didn't get to eat it."
The little fat man sounded as if she had missed 100 million dollars.
Yu Shanshan can imagine this little fatty's current expression with endless aftertaste.
Because of this call, Yu Shanshan was not in a good mood and said to the little fat man, "Mom is eating out. She will be back soon. Please play for a while. Mom will be home soon."
The little fat man at the other end of the phone paused for a moment before asking, "Where are you now, mom?"
Yu Shanshan: "Mom is here at Yuanyi Square. Do you remember that Mom brought you here for dinner?"
The little fat man's limited brain didn't remember, but he said excitedly, "Mom, Dad and I will pick you up. Dad has a car with four wheels. It's so big. It runs so fast."
Yu Shanshan was surprised and immediately stopped him: "No, no, your godmother is driving me. She will take me home."
Wu Jing pinched her arm as soon as she finished, then grabbed the phone and said to Dudu on the other end "Dudu, it's me your godmother. Do you want to pick up your Mom? Come with your Dad, this godmother will tell you the address."
Before Yu Shanshan could stop Wu Jing, she already mentioned the restaurant address to Dudu through the phone call. In fact, since the little guy is still so small to remember it, Wu Jing simply told Yuan Long instead.
Yu Shanshan grabbed the phone and wanted to tell the little guy not to come, but the phone call was already cut off. She felt so angry that she wanted to beat Wu Jing.
Wu Jing put her arm around her shoulder with a smile and deliberately said, "Oh, it's rare that Dudu's father has time at home. As soon as he heard that you're outside, he immediately asks to pick you up. He really loves you."
Wu Jing said this intentionally to the other people present. Sure enough, this remark attracted their strong attention. Ou Kexin asked, "Is it Shanshan's husband? He's coming to pick up Shanshan? That's good. We can still meet each other."
Lu Keke, the sister who was called Buck Teeth, and Xu Zixin, Squinting Eyes, jokingly agreed, "Yes, we'd like to see what kind of big shot married our school beauty."
Yu Shanshan smiled on the surface, but she is already thinking about how to break up with Wu Jing.
Wu Jing immediately picked up her cell phone, sent her emojis of "I was wrong" in WeChat, and then typed: "I didn't call your soldier-gege to come here, he himself wanted to bring Dudu to pick you up. What are you afraid of, when this person is actually willing to come? It's an opportunity! A good chance for the two of you to warm up your relationship. You should seize it. You'd better go to see a movie or have a date or something."
Yu Shanshan:......
Yuan Long arrived very quickly, In less than 20 minutes Yu Shanshan received a text message from him, "I'm at the door. Have you finished eating?"
Yu Shanshan pursed her lips, stood up with her bag and said to everyone, "It's getting late. My son is waiting for me, so I'll go first."
Wu Jing also picked up her bag and said she was leaving as well.
Ou Ke saw this and put her arms around Yu Hao's arm in a spoiled way: "Then we all broke up at this point. Let's go with Shanshan and we can talk more."
Yu Shanshan: ...... Bah, who wants to talk more with you?
Originally, Shanshan had wanted to take the first step to prevent these people from meeting Yuan Long and Dudu, but she didn't imagine Ou Kexin can be so shameless. She followed them the whole time and finally saw Yuan Long holding Dudu outside the restaurant.
The man's handsome face, tall figure, gray shirt and black trousers perfectly set off his good figure. The whole person exudes an indescribable momentum that makes it impossible to ignore him just standing there. He seems to be standing right in the spotlight, the focus of wherever he goes.
At the moment, even if he is holding a baby with milk, he can still make women's eyes cling to him.
As soon as Ou Kexin came out, the first thing she noticed was him. Yu Hao did not mind, but the other three women blatantly looked on desperately, they saw the light emitted by this man in their eyes.
Ou Kexin's eyes are a little more reserved because her fiance is still around, but the other two are not so reserved. They not only have green light in their eyes, they were eager to ask for a phone number or something. They didn't even stopped to think about whether this someone was married since he has a baby in his arms.
However, before they could think of a way to chat him up without looking too obvious, they saw the chubby little boy in the man's arms waving excitedly to them and shouted, "Mom, mom, Dudu is here!"
Everyone followed Dudu's line of sight and were surprised to find that the person the child was screaming for seemed to be Yu Shanshan.
But how is that possible? How could this extremely handsome guy with the baby be the husband of an ugly and fat woman like Yu Shanshan?
No way!
Absolutely impossible!
However, nothing is impossible.
The man walked forward with the baby in his arms, and went directly to Shanshan. He picked up the bag in her hand and asked, "Finished?"
Yu Shanshan instantly felt countless eyes shooting at her.
Trying to ignore those gazes, Yu Shanshan gave an "En" and whispered, "Let's go back."
"Good."
Yuan Long then looked up and nodded to the others as a greeting, then took Yu Shanshan away.
"Wait!" Lu Keke opened her mouth in a hurry, but her eyes were still fixed on Yuan Long. She asked reluctantly, "Shanshan, is this really your husband?"
Yu Shanshan was embarrassed and didn't know whether to answer yes or no.
However, Yuan Long took the initiative to introduce himself, "I am Yuan Long, Shanshan's husband."
This remark made Lu Keke, who had a glimmer of hope, freeze. Unbelievable, but she had to believe it, her expression was also incredible.
Ou Kexin was so upset at her rudeness that she secretly poked her in the back and gave her a knowing look.
It was only then that Lu Keke realized that her expression was too obvious and quickly reined in her emotions and smiled, pretending that she had no interest in Yuan Long at all, but at the same time she had a little disdain in her heart.
What's the use of being handsome? He's just a poor soldier. If you just have the face and can't eat then it means nothing. Look at what Yu Shanshan looks like now. If your wife has to work hard to get a small salary as a consultant, then that is the end of this man's competence.
Thinking in this way, her heart was instantly relieved, and the jealousy that had just arisen for Shanshan dissipated a lot.
Ou Kexin said with a smile, "It's getting late. Let's all go home. By the way, Shanshan, we're driving. I'll give you a ride."
Yuan Long replied instead of Yu Shanshan, "Thank you for your kindness. We also drove here."
Ou Kexin tucked her hair behind her ear, then smiled and said, "Really? You must have parked in the parking lot below. We can pick up our cars together."
When she said so, it was really hard to refuse anything, so a line of people headed for the underground parking lot together.
The party soon arrived at the parking lot, and the first one to see her car was Wu Jing. She bought a white Volkswagen golf, which was inexpensive and suitable for girls to drive.
Wu Jing gave Yu Shanshan a meaningful and slightly lewd look first before saying goodbye: "I'll go first."
As Wu Jing left, the group continued to walk on. They passed a black Land Rover which unlocked, but they didn't notice it at first until Yuan Long said in a strong voice, "Let's go first."

| I literally searched for 揽胜尊崇创世版 (lǎnshèng zūnchóng chuàng shì bǎn) just to be sure. |
Finally, he bent slightly, one hand on Shanshan's back, the other through her leg, and lifted her horizontally into the back seat in full view of everyone. The whole process looked so easy as if he was not holding a fat person of more than a hundred kilograms but a thin girl of no more than 40 kilograms.
After the busy day between mother and son, Yuan Long went to the driver's seat to open the door. He nodded to all the people who were still dazed and standing still. He got in and started the car and left straight away.
Watching the car disappear from sight, the four people seemed to wake up from a dream.
Lu Keke opened his mouth first and asked uncertainly, "That car just now, was that a Range Rover?"
Ou Kexin looked pale and did not speak.
At this time, Xu Zixin, who had already reached her car with her mobile phone on Baidu, gave a cry of surprise and said incredulously, "The car is a Range Rover Exalted Creation Edition, worth more than 3 million."
More than three million......
Although there are a large number of luxury cars cost tens of millions, those that are worth more than 3 million is not that unbelievable. However this time, it does not represent a number, but a fact that they all thought Yu Shanshan married a poor soldier.
Yu Shanshan married a soldier, but this soldier is not poor. On the contrary, he's probably very rich.
This fact makes the three people's hearts unable to calm down.
The author has something to say: In fact, I have two good friends who got married in college and had a baby. I took pictures with the baby when we graduated. I envy them. I feel that they have solved a major event in a woman's life, way ahead of schedule. They don't have to pause their careers in the future. Haha, I don't know if my idea is right.

Monique: Sorry for the late update. Work was shit lately. Also, I was surprised at this chapter. It's a thousand more words compared to the previous ones. I have to trim down redundant phrases though.
Anyway "I am Yuan Long, Shanshan's husband."
