The crowd turned their heads and saw Shen Xi next to Shen Feng. They could not look away because she was too beautiful. She had such a mature, sophisticated, and feminine look, but also an indescribable innocence. Such a complex aura could be summarized into one word: stunning!
‘F*ck! Shen Feng, this punk, is really blessed and found such a beautiful girlfriend that’s even prettier than He Lu!’ Although He Lu was beautiful, her looks and temperament were nothing compared to this goddess.
A hint of jealousy flashed across He Lu’s eyes. ‘No way! How can she look so pretty? Didn’t they say that she’s just average?’
Xia Ze was dumbstruck. He initially wanted to use this opportunity to upstage Shen Feng and put him in his place, but he did not expect Shen Feng’s girlfriend to be such a stunner!
He Lu was also a beauty, but she could not compare to this deity.
Shen Xi took in the group’s expressions. All of them had their own agenda. She finally understood why Shen Feng wanted to bring her over. This was a reunion by name, but in fact, this group of people just wanted to embarrass him and step on him!
Shen Feng smiled brightly and was very enthusiastic. “Long time no see, everyone! How are you all doing lately?”
Xia Ze looked at Shen Xi and said, “Shen Feng, are you not gonna introduce her?”
Shen Feng looked like he just remembered her and casually pulled Shen Xi over. “This is my girlfriend, Yun Xi.”
Shen Xi nodded politely at the people present and looked dignified. “Hello.”
The boys were still enchanted by her beauty and were envious of Shen Feng, who was so lucky to find such a goddess.
The girls were naturally hostile to girls who were prettier than them. ‘So what if she’s pretty? She clearly has no taste to date someone like Shen Feng from a poor family with a blind sister. He Lu was still blessed because the Class President’s family was powerful and influential. She could have whatever she wants!’
Shen Feng led Shen Xi to their seats. It had been a long time since they saw each other, so everyone was being fake and chatted idly.
The girls were chatting with each other and were talking about cosmetics, bags, jewelry, and clothes.
“Lulu, your clothes are the new arrivals from Jin Yun, right? They’re really nice,” Girl A looked envious.
“Lulu, your Hermes bag is this year’s limited edition, right? It was only sold two days ago and you got it already?!” Girl B was astonished.
“OMG! This emerald bracelet is really beautiful. How much is it? Is it an antique?” Girl C came over gushing at her.
“You girls are exaggerating. The bag and clothes are New Year’s gifts from Ze. This emerald bracelet is from Auntie Xia.” He Lu looked at her boyfriend with a fond face and held out her hand to show off the bracelet. She glanced at Shen Xi from the corner of her eye and jokingly asked Shen Feng, “Shen Feng, what New Year’s gift did you get your girlfriend since she came home to celebrate with you?”
Shen Feng’s family was not like Xia Ze’s, so there was certainly nothing to show. ‘Just look at what he’s wearing… he probably picked that up from the trash and looked like a beggar…’
Shen Xi hated this kind of showy people the most. All of them were bursting with vanity before they even earned their keep. How repulsive.
Wealthy people would not bother showing off their luxuries. Just look at the International Class. All of them were so low-profile and did not flaunt their wealth.
Shen Feng paused for a moment and wanted to say that as long as they loved each other, everything else was immaterial. However, Shen Xi kicked his calf under the table, so he could only swallow his words.
‘This meanie! She must have another plan…’ Shen Feng noticed that after two years of not seeing his cousin, she had become bolder than before.
Shen Xi’s necklace coincidentally peeked out from her shirt collar. She smiled and said, “He didn’t give me much, just this necklace.”
This necklace was a gift from her teacher. She paired it with today’s outfit and did not expect it to come in handy. She did not have anything valuable on her aside from this emperor green jade pendant.
Shen Feng also did not notice it before. At that moment, he looked over to see that the pendant was a clear jade that looked so transparent. However, he did not know much about these things and did not know how much it was worth.
Instead, a girl next to him suddenly exclaimed. “Is this the ‘Dreamy Teardrop’? It’s so beautiful!”
“Is this real?!” Girl A was shocked and went over.
This pendant looked the same as the “Dreamy Teardrop”, which she had seen in magazines, but how could Shen Feng afford such an expensive piece of jewelry?
“I heard that the ‘Dreamy Teardrop’ is a prized private collector’s item. Shen Feng, this has to cost a bomb, right?” He Lu looked at Shen Feng and asked with a smile.
He Lu did not believe that the necklace was real. With Shen Feng’s family background, how could he afford such an expensive item? This must be a fake!
“As long as she likes it, it doesn’t matter how much it costs.” Shen Feng originally just wanted to flaunt his beautiful “girlfriend” to irritate Xia Ze and rain on his parade.
However, his sister had done a good job of helping him out, so he naturally could not disappoint her good intentions and had to cooperate with her acting.
“Shen Feng, how much did you pay for it?” Girl A was curious and asked him.
“There are so many fakes. Look, it’s only a few bucks on Taobao and they all look the same.” Girl B had already pulled out her phone and zoomed in on the photo to show them.
Another girl pulled out information about the “Dreamy Teardrop” and laughed. “This ‘Dreamy Teardrop’ was auctioned ten years ago and sold for 58 million yuan!”
Not to mention 58 million, even if it was only ten thousand, Shen Feng would not be able to afford it.
“Haha! Feng, if you can’t afford it, buy something cheaper. How can you buy fake jewelry for your girlfriend?” Boy C looked scornful. He then cast a pitiful glance at Shen Xi for being with a person like Shen Feng.
This beauty was blind. She was so beautiful, so she surely could have had her pick of guys. Why find a poor boy like Shen Feng who could not even afford a proper gift and had to buy her a fake? How could Shen Feng afford the real thing for 58 million yuan?
The group of them already decided that the pendant on Shen Xi’s neck was a fake. They found the opportunity to step on Shen Feng and please Xia Ze in the process, so they mocked Shen Feng relentlessly.
