Chapter 2395 - 2200: No One Dares to Bully You Anymore (Part 4)

"Well, it's also because Qingyuan has ability," Zheng Lulu chimed in.

"Miss Chu, why don't you stay in Beijing and be your grand lady, what brings you all the way to this remote place like Minghe?" Huang Qingyuan asked Chu Xianling.

Song Xiaodong was listening from the side and his stomach began to ache.

Since when did Minghe become a remote area?

"Oh, I followed my husband here," Chu Xianling said proudly.

"Wow, Miss Chu, how can someone of your high status marry an outsider, and even marry so far away?" Zheng Lulu was very surprised but couldn't hide her smugness.

In her eyes, Chu Xianling marrying out of town meant her status had dropped a notch.

When Huang Qingyuan was dating Zheng Lulu, he often talked about his admiration for Chu Xianling during college, constantly praising Chu Xianling's grace, good family background, beauty, and poise to Zheng Lulu.

But surprisingly, such a person ended up marrying far away to this "third-tier small city."

You might not have met people from Beijing, but they have a very distinctive characteristic, which is they look at people through their nostrils and look at the sky with their eyes.

In the eyes of people from Beijing, everything outside the third ring road is the countryside; apart from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, the rest are all rural areas.

So if Chu Xianling truly married to Minghe, that gives Zheng Lulu a perfect reason to disdain Chu Xianling.

"Oh, so you're already married..." There was a hint of disappointment in Huang Qingyuan's voice.

"Yes." Chu Xianling nodded firmly.

"Oh, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, we all have families now." Huang Qingyuan spoke as if something had happened between him and Chu Xianling.

"Uh haha…" Chu Xianling laughed awkwardly.

"Is this your bodyguard? Or a staff member?" Zheng Lulu pointed at Song Xiaodong and asked Chu Xianling.

Song Xiaodong nearly spat out blood.

"Let me introduce, this is my husband, Song..."

Before Chu Xianling could say Song Xiaodong's name, Song Xiaodong interrupted, "Hello, my surname is Song, I'm Xianling's husband."

What he meant was, it's enough for you to know I'm Song, Xianling's husband, I don't intend to tell you more, nor do I intend to let you know more.

When Chu Xianling was in school, she also had Chu family people protecting her, Huang Qingyuan initially saw this man but thought he was just Chu Xianling's bodyguard.

But Chu Xianling said he was her husband.

A mix of inexplicable regret, jealousy, and gloating surged in Huang Qingyuan's heart.

He regretted that someone like the noble Miss Chu from Beijing had married so far away, coming to Minghe.

He was jealous that this fresh and pure Miss Chu landed with this rascal-looking, plain bastard before him.

The gloating came from how Chu Xianling completely ignored Huang Qingyuan's kindness during their school days, making him feel embarrassed, and seeing her "fallen" to this state was truly satisfying.

Huang Qingyuan stood there dumbfounded looking at Song Xiaodong, speechless for a long time. Zheng Lulu shook Huang Qingyuan's arm, bringing him back to his senses, and he said to Song Xiaodong, "Mr. Song is really fortunate, how did you win the heart of our university's beauty?"

Song Xiaodong smiled and said to Huang Qingyuan, "Mr. Huang is the fortunate one, able to have the bank president's daughter as a fiancée, you're not marrying a wife, you're marrying money! Hahaha!"

Song Xiaodong pretended he was joking, but his words were quite harsh, causing Huang Qingyuan's face to turn pale.

"Oh dear, if you say Miss Chu is from Beijing, you must not be used to living in Minghe, the wind here is so strong and stifling, I've been here a few times and feel like my skin's gotten rough. Miss Chu staying here for so long must be quite tough," Zheng Lulu couldn't listen anymore, and spoke softly to Chu Xianling.

Zheng Lulu dared to talk to Chu Xianling this way because her father's bank is a Zhao Family business in Beijing.

Chu Xianling had good relations with Zhao Ruonan and Yang Yushi, but the servants of each family were always worrying too much, constantly jabbing at each other.

Upon hearing Zheng Lulu's words, Chu Xianling responded sarcastically, "Oh, Miss Zheng, it must've been tough for you. Didn't you all open a branch in Minghe? Looks like you'll be visiting Minghe often, and the winter weather here is harsher, your face is already rough now; won't it get worse in the winter?"

"That's not likely, the branch matters are left for Qingyuan to handle, he'll have to make more trips to this small place, I don't want to come," Zheng Lulu scoffed, turning to speak to Huang Qingyuan.

"Yes, our small place here, I wonder how many branches you plan to open, don't overdo it, or you might face losses." Song Xiaodong also chimed in.

With the conversation reaching this point, there was no more meaning in it, Chu Xianling raised her head and said to Song Xiaodong, "Let's go."

"Alright." Song Xiaodong looked down at Chu Xianling and nodded.

"Hey hey hey, where are you two going, we've met, so let's have a meal together," Huang Qingyuan didn't want to miss the chance to show off in front of Chu Xianling.

"You all are busy, my husband and I are going to have a meal." Chu Xianling pulled Song Xiaodong to leave.

"Hey, where are you dining, let's eat together? Since we've met, it's all fate," Huang Qingyuan said to Chu Xianling and Song Xiaodong.
