Chapter 536: Chapter 453: You two are classmates, right?
"Li Si?! You..." Kong Dan could hardly believe that Li Si would appear here.
She knew that Li Si’s family lived upstairs, but she hadn’t seen her return even once after all these years!
Especially seeing Li Si, who had become even more beautiful and graceful than before, filled her heart with jealousy!
This is the disparity between people! Comparison is truly maddening.
Li Si also never expected the one knocking would be Kong Dan!
What’s her relationship with Grandma Wang? Relatives? Couldn’t be! They were classmates for years but she never heard of it!
"Kong Dan is here! Come in!" Grandma Wang had just finished making pickles, holding her chopsticks without putting them down. With the two girls standing one inside and one outside the door, she walked over to let them in.
She glanced at Li Sixiao and said, "You two are classmates, right? Girl, isn’t it a coincidence? Kong Dan is my grandson’s girlfriend, and it was only when talking about you that I found out you were college classmates!"
"Is that so!" Li Si replied with a faint smile.
Now she knew who Grandma Wang’s grandson was!
The person Jiang Fan had a crush on back then, and they had even met once—the guy with glasses!
No wonder last time she came back, she saw Kong Dan and the glasses guy in the neighborhood!
It turned out they were also visiting Grandma Wang’s house! This really was an odd twist of fate!
Kong Dan’s smile was somewhat stiff: "Yes! Li Si, I heard you got married?"
She had just found this out when she went back to school for her thesis defense a few days ago. She heard that Li Si not only married into a wealthy family but also had an incredibly lavish wedding, with dozens of luxury cars just for the bridal procession.
The cheapest car cost millions! Not to mention the family conditions!
When Kong Dan thought about her own wedding next week, she suddenly felt disheartened.
Not only could she not compete with Li Si, her wedding seemed so modest it made her want to cry.
Originally, as someone from out of town, marrying Wang Baiming was considered quite good.
From the bride price to buying things, even the house was prepared, and it was quite respectable compared to others.
But she feared comparison. If she hadn’t heard about Li Si’s wedding,
She would have felt quite content, believing she had married well.
But after comparing, she felt she lost out. Why could Li Si marry so well, and live a life of luxury,
While she had to settle with an ordinary man to share the burden of earning a living, raising children, and caring for elderly parents?
Suddenly she recalled that luxury car by the building’s entrance. Before she came in, she wondered which relative it belonged to. There was someone seated in the car, and now she reckoned it was her driver.
"What? When did you get married, why didn’t you say anything!" Grandma Wang slightly reproached Li Si: "Even though I’m getting old, I could still attend your wedding!"
Li Si smiled and explained: "I did call you at the time! But the phone rang twice no answer, and then with the wedding arrangements, I was too busy! So I thought I’d tell you when I came back!"
Grandma Wang slapped her forehead: "Oh! Now that you mention it, I remember. My phone was broken and sent for repair, and I didn’t use it for a few days.
So you must have called during those days! What a pity, as I had really wanted to be notified of your wedding."
Li Si smiled warmly and said: "It’s okay! That’s why I came to see you now, isn’t it?"
Grandma Wang hurriedly put down her chopsticks and took her hand, "Come, let’s sit and chat! Kong Dan, you sit too! Will Baiming be here later?"
Kong Dan nodded: "He’ll be here soon!"
Then she kept scrutinizing Li Si from head to toe with an examining gaze.
Grandma Wang didn’t mind and focused all her attention on Li Si: "Last time you came, you mentioned getting engaged but didn’t talk much about your husband’s family. Are they easy to get along with? Is he the only child?"
"They are very easy to get along with, and there’s a younger sister my age. We get along very well!"
"That’s great! That’s great! Did your family come back with you this time?" Grandma Wang felt somewhat relieved, and was really worried about the girl entering a household alone without parents and being bullied.
The old lady thought that having a strong maiden family was sometimes very important to ensure a girl doesn’t suffer too much in her in-laws’ family.
"Yes! But he’s busy with work. I’ll bring him to visit you when he has time!" Li Si explained softly.
However, she doubted the likelihood of the later part happening since the Feng Shui Master would soon determine the auspicious date, and they would need to return to Beijing for the burial at the new cemetery.
"Good!" Grandma Wang joyfully patted Li Si’s hand, glad to see the girl doing well, with her fate finally taking a turn for the better.
Kong Dan’s expression grew worse as she listened, seeing Grandma Wang being kinder to Li Si than to her, she couldn’t help but interject: "Li Si! You’re really timely! Since we couldn’t attend your wedding, it’s great that you’re back. You must join Baiming and me for our wedding next Saturday, okay?"
She wanted to make Li Si feel awkward. Given their relationship, without Grandma Wang, Li Si definitely wouldn’t attend her wedding.
But now she deliberately mentioned it in front of her, let’s see how she’d refuse.
Recalling the slap Li Si gave her that time, her eyes were filled with malice.
Grandma Wang looked a bit displeased at Kong Dan. Ever since Li Si entered the house, she hadn’t intended to mention her grandson’s marriage.
Li Si was back for something important. She came to see the old lady out of kindness for their long-term neighborly relation.
Moreover, when Li Si’s father was still alive, they did attend and give gifts during the wedding of the second son.
If we really talk about it, they still owe them a gift.
Now that her grandson is getting married, how could she brazenly inform her, implicitly asking for a wedding gift?
Li Si looked at Grandma Wang in surprise, ignoring Kong Dan.
"Grandma Wang, why didn’t you mention such a big happy event! I’ll see if I’m still in North City at that time. If I am, I’ll definitely be there."
She didn’t focus on Kong Dan but on Grandma Wang as a person.
She thought it over and decided that giving too much would seem inappropriate.
The money she intended to give was intended for Grandma Wang anyway, so two thousand should be enough.
Grandma Wang felt her old face turning red and quickly waved her hand: "I didn’t tell you to avoid any misunderstanding. You focus on your tasks! Moving graves is a big deal, and not to be taken lightly, or else it might all fall on your shoulders as the only girl left in the family."
"It’s okay!" Li Si comforted Grandma Wang by holding her hand: "The Feng Shui Master has sorted it out, no need for us to worry!"
Kong Dan couldn’t hold back: "Oh grandma, did you forget? Li Si and I are classmates, so of course, as classmates, if we hear about it, we have to attend, right? Don’t you think so?"
