Downstairs 249, Upstairs 251

Chapter 3. Beauty

"You're shopping here too?" She was smiling so brightly. Lisa wanted to ask, who are you?

"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce him, this is my husband, vice-CEO of 'Guang Li'."

Then she turned to her husband and spoke sweetly, "Hubby~ This is my university friend, Lisa Manoban."

Her husband gave Lisa a broad smile as he looked her up and down.

"Miss Manoban, nice to meet you." He was about to put his hand out.

Lisa quickly interrupted, "Nice to meet you too. Oh yeah, so you live here too?"

She asked the woman, so the man took his hand back.

The woman smiled shyly. "Yeah, I like this place a lot so he insisted on buying me a house here."

Her lips twitched as she nodded with a fake smile.

"Oh, what job do you do now?"

"I'm unemployed."

"How about you and Sehun?"

"We broke up."

"Ah? Then you..."

Looking at the box she was holding, she exclaimed,

"Don't tell me you're working as a mistress..." She then covered her mouth quickly, smiling awkwardly as if she had said something wrong.

"Lisa, you better find a job and a more reliable husband, since... it won't last."

Lisa felt her lips twitch again as she finally recalled who this woman was. After all these years, she certainly looked different. Her makeup was so thick that she couldn't recognize her anymore.

"I'm not a mistress. Oh yeah, I finally remembered you, you're Ma Yan right? You already got married?! How about Liu Jianan, whom you vowed to love till death set you apart? You two broke up? I still remember how sweet both of you were, I can't believe you have gone your separate ways."

Looking her shocked expression, she continued talking regretfully,

"Sigh, both of you were the ones who made me believe in love, how could you break up?"

Blinking her eyes, she ignored the darkened expression of the fat middle-aged man. She stared at her earnestly with a regretful look.

"No, we, are not suitable..."

Afraid that she might continue asking, she quickly cut in, "My name is Wei Wei now. Oh, a few classmates said they wanted to arrange a reunion. You must have a boyfriend since you're so pretty. Why don't you bring your boyfriend? Our class group will inform you when it will be held, so why don't you show us your boyfriend?"

She took her husband's arm and strode off hurriedly without waiting for her reply, looking as if she was running away.

Lisa sneered coldly. This woman had always acted this way ever since their university days. She looked pleasant but talked bullshit. What kind of logic was that? Did breaking up with Sehun mean she's a mistress? Did being pretty mean she has a boyfriend? She must have thought that everyone acted like her.

She didn't know where this hatred came from. There was one time when she got sick when she was still in university. Sehun accompanied her to the hospital to get warded for that night. She didn't know how the woman got wind of the fact that she didn't return to her dorm. The next day, rumors spread about them spending a night outside together.

Sehun slapped the woman in infuriation. At that time, she truly liked how he cared for her with no regard to his dignity.

But what was the use of being deeply passionate? Men were still creatures who acted on their impulse...
