Chapter 1034: Does Team Blue Whale Including You?
Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, a waiter from the auction house knocked on the door and entered with tea and snacks. He said, “Miss Gu, Miss Shen Qin, who just bought your perfume, would like to meet you. She’s outside.”
“Let her in,” Gu Yang said, intrigued by Shen Qin.
From what Gu Jin and Feng Jue had told her, Shen Qin, although not a member of Team Blue Whale, had frequent interactions with them as she was Shen Ran’s biological sister. However, she had been adopted by a wealthy businessman in the City of Brisk a year before the light cone experiment, and thus had avoided it.
Even if Shen Qin hadn’t come to see her today, Gu Yang was keen to meet her.
The waiter opened the door, and an elegant young woman walked in.
As she entered, Gu Yang was immediately greeted by a cold fragrance mixed with the late autumn chill—the unmistakable scent of “Tranquil Heart.”
Shen Qin glanced around the room, recognizing a few faces. “Gu Jin, Feng Jue, Cao Cuo. It’s been a while.”
Gu Jin and the others noticed Shen Qin’s indifferent demeanor. Cao Cuo offered a slight nod, while Gu Jin gave her a fleeting glance. Feng Jue, holding Gu Yang’s hand, paid her no mind.
Shen Qin’s gaze settled on Gu Yang, who stood between Gu Jin and Feng Jue. She scrutinized her from head to toe, trying to recall any familiar features but found nothing.
She frowned and asked, “Have you had plastic surgery?”
Gu Yang: “…”
Feng Jue’s eyes narrowed as he sneered, his voice tinged with coldness. “My sister is naturally beautiful. She doesn’t need plastic surgery.”
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Han Xuewei had put the kids in the car and planned to go buy study supplies together.
This was the same Wenqu Building they had been to before – a building he secretly owned, though he had never revealed this to anyone.
When Han Xuewei followed him and walked forward, she suddenly spotted two familiar figures and immediately furrowed her brows, standing frozen in place.
Lin Yi was somewhat surprised and turned to look at her.
Then, as Lin Yi lifted his gaze, he saw a man and a woman just ahead. Lin Yi didn’t recognize either of them.
However, Han Xuewei was very familiar with them, as these two were her classmates, with the girl being Li Lanxue, her university classmate, and the boy being Shen Wenjun.
Li Lanxue and Han Xuewei had known each other since university, and Han Xuewei’s beauty stood out so much that she often overshadowed everyone else at school.
Li Lanxue had been quietly working hard, constantly improving her makeup skills in the hopes that one day she could have many men fall at her feet.
However, when the campus belle was announced, she collapsed. Han Xuewei’s sudden appearance totally crushed all of her efforts, as the male students virtually worshiped Han Xuewei alone.
They didn’t spare Li Lanxue a single glance.
After many years of effort spent on makeup and weight loss to enhance her beauty, when she realized that all her efforts were just the starting point for someone with natural beauty like Han Xuewei, she felt devastated.
No matter how heavy the makeup she applied or how exquisitely she dressed, she could not compare to the subtle, natural beauty of Han Xuewei, which only intensified her jealousy.
The boy, Shen Wenjun, had also been acquainted with Han Xuewei; he had even pursued her but was rejected.
Later on, rumors were that he had gone abroad and made a good life for himself, and now he had businesses in Huaxia as well.
However, Han Xuewei hadn’t gone out of her way to find out more; her classmates had simply told her.
After all, Shen Wenjun was quite a significant figure, having once pursued her, and naturally attracted attention.
Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun, both of whom came from well-off families, left Han Xuewei puzzled as to how two such unrelated people could end up together.
But at that moment, as she looked at them, she had no desire to greet them, only wanting to get away from them as quickly as possible.
After all, in her memory, these two weren’t exactly easy to get along with.
So Han Xuewei immediately pulled Lin Yi to walk aside, and Lin Yi also noticed that something was off with Han Xuewei, so he said to her, “Aren’t we going to buy stationery supplies?”
After Lin Yi finished speaking, Han Xuewei told him about the general situation of these two people they had run into.
Once Lin Yi heard it, he instantly understood the situation of these two people and guessed that they probably had some grudges with Han Xuewei and that they must have made things difficult for her.
Because in his memory, Han Xuewei was someone with a very good temperament and personality, despite being the school beauty, she didn’t put on airs. The only possibility was that these people had been troubling her.
Seeing his wife showing a troubled expression, Lin Yi naturally felt somewhat displeased.
He certainly didn’t want Han Xuewei to be submissive in front of others. She should strike back when it was right to do so.
Therefore, Lin Yi did not let Han Xuewei lead him away, and at this moment, Li Lanxue obviously had some intention to stir up trouble as she approached them with a sour tone.
“Isn’t this our school’s beauty? How come I see you here today? It’s really surprising!”
After she finished speaking, Li Lanxue raised her eyes to look at Han Xuewei.
Xue Mei looked at her, feeling somewhat embarrassed and simply nodded, “Yeah, I didn’t expect to see old classmates here either.”
Seeing Han Xuewei’s graceful composure, the jealousy in Li Lanxue’s eyes was unmistakable as she directly said, “I heard before that you got married, but I thought it was a joke. After all, we are still in university, getting married so early is quite special.”
Li Lanxue actually knew about it already, the news of Han Xuemei’s marriage had spread throughout the grade long ago. She remembered that Xuemei’s wedding was a big event, and many of their classmates attended.
How could she not know about this? Moreover, she had already seen Han Xuewei’s wedding. In her view, the wedding was quite ordinary, it was just held at a slightly better hotel and didn’t count as very luxurious.
She turned to look behind her and saw Lin Yi’s car parked to the side, which made her look even more disdainful.
That kind of ordinary sedan was just a few hundred thousand yuan, nothing noteworthy at all. A glance at Lin Yi was enough to tell her that both of them came from average families.
So she immediately understood the situation, realizing that both of them were just from ordinary families and simply couldn’t compare with her current man, Shen Wenjun.
Shen Wenjun owned several houses here and also had a company under his name.
Han Xuewei immediately realized and spoke up, “I forgot to tell you, this is my husband, Lin Yi, he’s also from our school.”
Han Xuewei said with poise, her smile making her look very beautiful. Now that she had had a child, her entire aura seemed even more charming. Shen Wenjun, seeing Han Xuewei like this, also showed a look of astonishment.
At this moment, Li Lanxue noticed Shen Wenjun’s gaze and immediately showed an unhappy look. She didn’t give Lin Yi any face and just snorted, “I haven’t seen him.”
Hearing Li Lanxue’s sour tone, Han Xuewei instantly felt somewhat dissatisfied, but she did not lose her temper, while Lin Yi remained composed as he looked ahead.
Shen Wenjun’s gaze was fixed on Han Xuewei. Although they had met before, they hadn’t seen each other for several years now, and he didn’t expect Han Xuewei to still be so beautiful.
She seemed even more stunning and attractive than when he had seen her in university, and now her figure also seemed fuller. He didn’t know that was because Han Xue had already had a child.
Seeing Shen Wenjun staring intently at Han Xuewei, Li Lanxue felt immediately unsatisfied and directly pulled on Shen Wenjun’s arm, saying, “This is my boyfriend, Shen Wenjun!”
She wasn’t sure either. Though Gu Jin, Feng Jue, and Cao Cuo had assured her she was Wuyang, it was still uncertain.
Feng Jue tightened his grip on her hand. His cold fingers were enveloped by her warm palm. With a confident lift of his eyebrows, he said, “Of course, it includes my sister.”
