My Life with Narration

Chapter 414 - 409: Scheming Classmates (Part 2)

[When Ning Tong saw your appearance, she felt a bit complex inside. She thought you were her perfect other half, just a bit poor. After seeing you, her favorable impression of her husband’s appearance decreased by five percent]

...

The incident happened in an instant. Su Qing was paying attention to the voiceover in his head; it wasn’t just these two people, but some other classmates around who had ulterior motives. The voiceover gave hints.

For a moment, the voiceover in his head had the most outbursts it ever had, making his head start to ache.

"Hahaha, Old Su, Old Wang, you’re here. Long time no see!" Zhang Chao quickly came forward, opening his arms in greeting.

"Old Zhang, congratulations, congratulations, long time no see!"

Hearing this, the two stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chao.

Having entered society, everyone has become a person for public occasions, wearing so-called fake masks.

[What are you pretending for? You’re dressing so gaudily at my wedding, aren’t you? Indeed, people flaunt what they’re lacking the most. I’ve married the person you liked, so what can you do? Blame yourself for being a poor bastard!]

Hugging Zhang Chao, the voiceover hinted at his inner thoughts. Su Qiong couldn’t help but sigh; indeed, people can be quite disgusting.

This is the bad part of having a voiceover; a good mood can vanish just like that.

"By the way, Old Su, why are you here alone? Where’s your partner? Why didn’t she come with you?" Zhang Chao asked in a tone of nostalgic old classmates.

[Probably thinks his girlfriend isn’t presentable, right? You deserve nothing more than that kind of dinosaur!]

Su Qing: ...

Fine, it’s your wedding today, as long as you’re happy. Hope you manage your mouth well, just enjoy it in your heart for now.

"She had something coming up last minute. I’ll see in a moment. If she’s free, I’ll have her come over," Su Qing replied with a smile.

"Alright, ask her over, let’s meet her. Maybe next time we’ll be drinking at your wedding feast!" Zhang Chao patted his shoulder, laughing.

[Last-minute issue, hilarious... even a ghost wouldn’t believe that excuse!]

Watching the overt and covert exchange between the two, Wang Xing couldn’t help but chuckle coldly on the side, thinking they really are feeling good about themselves. Wait till Boss Shen shows up and scares you all.

Others couldn’t detect the back-and-forth between the two, but he of course knew, increasingly finding Zhang Chao to be somewhat pretentious.

"Su Qing, long time no see!" Ning Tong, as today’s bride, naturally came out to greet everyone.

Looking at Ning Tong in a bright white wedding dress, radiant as ever, Su Qing couldn’t help but smile and say, "Wow, the bride looks really beautiful today."

"You’ve changed quite a bit too, come and sit!"

After saying that, he and Wang Xing sat down, and a group of high school classmates started exchanging greetings.

"Oh, I haven’t seen you for years, what have you been up to lately?"

"In the capital, the capital’s good, high salary."

"Do you still remember our high school homeroom teacher? I saw him a few months ago, still the same!"

"I haven’t done much lately, preparing for the civil service exam, busy with extra classes."

He and Wang Xing joined their high school classmates in starting a round of greeting and small talk, with Zhang Chao and Ning Tong also present.

There was still some time before the event began, and everyone started chatting about their recent situations, all appearing to be a harmonious scene until Ning Tong opened her mouth to ask:

"By the way Su Qing, you’ve changed so much over the years, what are you doing now?"

"Me? I haven’t found a satisfying job, just doing a little on my own, at least I can survive!" Su Qing replied with a smile.

He defined his job as a content creator for short form media, and he was too lazy to mention his two legitimate jobs.

But his silence didn’t mean that Wang Xing would keep quiet: "Qingzi is doing amazing things now, creating short videos on his own, and now he’s an internet celebrity, I’m so envious!"

Hearing this, everyone became interested, asking about his account. He didn’t want to give it, but Wang Xing took his phone out and found his account.

"Look, this is Qingzi’s account, with over a million followers!"

Seeing him nod, everyone exclaimed, feeling it’s as special as having someone they know publish a novel, constantly inquiring.

Even female classmates, who rarely spoke to him throughout the three years of high school, came over to ask a couple of questions.

Seeing his own wedding getting overshadowed by him, Zhang Chao started to secretly get annoyed.

He originally thought Su Qing might be working at some small company or factory, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be an internet celebrity.

With over a million followers, and the videos being quite popular, even several classmates present followed him.

Even if he wasn’t in this line of work, he knew that having that many short video followers definitely made a lot of money, and suddenly Zhang Chao felt a bit uncomfortable.

But the topic was initiated by his wife, so he couldn’t say anything because he knew that the only reason he could marry now was because of his family’s good conditions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have a job now. He couldn’t possibly drag his father into this mess, that’d be even more embarrassing.

And Ning Tong, seeing this, suddenly didn’t know why but felt somewhat lost.

She wasn’t regretting or liking Su Qing, but after comparing, she found that the man she chose is just mediocre.

Although Su Qing didn’t mention his income now, it certainly wasn’t small, plus his looks had improved greatly over the years, turning into a male god type. In contrast, her husband, while having good family conditions, lacks way too much in appearance.
