Shen Ye stood beside Mu Xiaoxi, grabbed her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Wan'er, Xiaoxi is right. Our relationship does not need outsiders to interfere. Zixuan is in the past tense, and now Xiaoxi My husband is me. Please stop trying to mess up our relationship, and we will have to alienate you."

Xia Wan'er looked at Shen Ye in surprise, she didn't expect Shen Ye to be so direct.Originally, she just wanted to test Xiaoxi's attitude, but she didn't expect to annoy the two of them instead.

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and squeezed Shen Ye's hand to show his support.Shen Ye looked at Mu Xiaoxi, his eyes softened a little.He turned his head and said to Xia Wan'er: "Sister Wan'er, there was a misunderstanding between us, but that is over. Now Xiaoxi is my wife, I hope you can accept this fact, and stop talking about people from the past and To provoke us. You know, if you really care about Xiaoxi, you should support her current happiness, not shake it."

"I" Xia Wan'er was a little annoyed, and knew that she was indeed wrong, "I really should support Xiaoxi's current happiness. My actions just now did not go against my original intention. I apologize. I sincerely hope that you can be happy, and I will also be happy in the future." Will never mention or do anything like that again.”

Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye smiled at each other, believing that Xia Wan'er was sincere.Shen Ye nodded and said, "Sister Wan'er, the matter has come to an end, we will not pursue it anymore. I hope you will sincerely bless us in the future."

Xia Wan breathed a sigh of relief on the surface, and quickly smiled and nodded in agreement.Now, she seemed to finally understand and accept the relationship between Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye.

Although Xia Wan'er accepted the relationship between Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye on the surface, she didn't think so in her heart.She had a feud with Mu Xiaoxi, and she kept it in her heart. She didn't want Mu Xiaoxi to be happy so easily.

Seeing the intimate interaction between Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye, Xia Wan'er couldn't help feeling jealous.Shen Ye likes Mu Xiaoxi so much, why does she look down on her? Her qualifications and charm are not bad, why has she never attracted Shen Ye's attention? This made her very unwilling.

She knew that she agreed on the surface, but she had already planned in her heart.There will always be a chance in the future, she will try to dig the foot of Mu Xiaoxi's wall, so that Shen Ye will fall in love with her instead.At that time, Mu Xiaoxi will definitely regret that he offended her, and he will be able to repay the hatred of the past.

Although Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye have a deep relationship, Xia Wan'er does not believe that love is bound to last.People's hearts are subject to change. As long as she waits patiently, there is always a chance to make Shen Ye's gaze deviate from Mu Xiaoxi and favor herself instead.At that time, she will be able to avenge her past, and let Mu Xiaoxi know what will happen if she offends her.

Xia Wan'er smiled slightly and calmed down.On the surface, she remained friendly, but she already had plans in her heart.She must make Mu Xiaoxi pay the price, this is her only thought.She believes that as long as she is patient, the opportunity will come sooner or later, and then she will be able to get what she wants.This thought made Xia Wan'er feel a little bit of comfort, and temporarily calmed down the unwillingness and jealousy in her heart.

Zixuan saw that Xia Wan'er deliberately brought up his past with Mu Xiaoxi, as if trying to provoke Mu Xiaoxi's current feelings.He frowned, feeling the need to explain clearly to avoid misunderstanding.

He walked over, and Shen Ye took a closer look.

Li Zixuan is a middle-aged man, 42 years old now.He is slightly fat, with a face full of flesh and nasolabial folds, and an obvious double chin on his neck.Wearing an oversized white short-sleeve shirt and casual macarons, he looked sloppy and rustic.

Zixuan's messy mid-length hair hadn't been taken care of for a long time. After being wet with sweat, it drooped and looked a little greasy.He always had a smug smile on his face, and there was a sly and conspiratorial look in his eyes, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable to watch.

When Zixuan spoke, his tone was full of slickness and flattery, as if he wanted to please everyone.But when he greeted with a smile, his eyes were full of contempt and mockery, as if he looked down on everyone.This kind of contradictory performance makes people unable to see through his real thoughts, and also don't know what he is planning.

In general, Zixuan gives people the impression of a middle-aged man who is greasy and conspiratorial.His words and demeanor revealed an annoying hypocrisy.And his unkempt appearance is also full of lazy and sloppy feeling, which is really not a likable character.If one had to use one word to describe Zixuan, then the word "insidious" would be the most appropriate.

Mu Xiaoxi looked at Zixuan and couldn't help sighing.She really didn't expect that the handsome young man back then would now become this middle-aged man with a greasy face.

Mu Xiaoxi remembers that Zixuan was a handsome young man back then, with a tall and straight figure and clear eyes.Now he is so sloppy and lazy, one can tell at a glance that he has lived a comfortable and comfortable life for a long time, and he is not at all as heroic as he was back then.

Mu Xiaoxi stared at Zixuan's face with complicated eyes.She couldn't bear to see her former childhood sweetheart become like this, and she also lamented that the time had changed too fast and the characters had changed too much.The youthful feelings of those years now seem so childish and wild, which is full of emotion.

And when Zixuan approached, Mu Xiaoxi frowned involuntarily.His slick and deliberate smile and conspiratorial eyes made Mu Xiaoxi feel extremely annoying.She really couldn't figure out how the sunny boy back then would become like this now.Such a big change made Mu Xiaoxi both shocked and sad, and after all, he still couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Mu Xiaoxi sighed involuntarily, and tried hard not to recall the boy from the past.She understands that people will change, but she never thought that Zixuan would become what he is now.This made her feel again that the greatest distance between people is the change brought about by time.And between her and Zixuan, the gap was precisely opened by time and gradually deepened.

Zixuan walked up to Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye, and said sincerely: "Xiaoxi, Ye Zi, I have to explain. Sister Wan'er just mentioned that I chased Xiaoxi back then, which made me very embarrassed. In fact, That was a long time ago, and now we are just ordinary friends. You have clearly rejected my feelings back then, Xiaoxi, and I am relieved now."

Mu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded: "Zixuan, we know this well, you don't need to explain."

Zixuan continued: "I know, but I still feel the need to be clear. Xiaoxi, you are now Ye Zi's wife. I sincerely hope that you can be happy. There is no possibility between us. I only regard you as an old friend now. Absolutely no other thoughts. Ye Zi, can you believe my words?"

Shen Ye smiled and patted Zixuan on the shoulder: "Of course, I believe in your character. I don't think much of what Sister Wan'er said just now, but she is too obsessed with old things."

Zixuan also smiled: "That's good, I really don't want to ruin our friendship because of the resurgence of old stories. I will explain it clearly to Sister Wan'er to avoid further misunderstandings in the future. Don't worry, I will never be the one to ruin your relationship. obstacles."

Shen Ye nodded: "Thank you for your sincerity, we believe in you. As for Sister Wan'er, please explain more."

Zixuan nodded with a smile, said goodbye sincerely and left.His explanation finally dispelled Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye's doubts, and made them see Xia Wan'er's intentions clearly.Now, Xia Wan'er's conspiracy was completely exposed, and there was no chance of sabotage.

Mu Xiaoxi and Shen Ye greeted Zixuan and other students one by one.

"Zixuan, you're here too, it's really rare."

"Yeah, how is BJ doing? How is the mix going?"

"Of course, it's just that I'm a bit busy at work, so I don't come back much." Zixuan smiled and shook hands with everyone, "How are you old guys?"

"It's okay, it's just that everyone has gone out to work, and they don't get together less."

"Yeah, we were happy together in college, but now we're all worn out by the pressure of life!"

"Haha, the days of being young and energetic are gone forever!"

"Okay, don't be so embarrassing, everyone sit down, eating and chatting is the happiest!"

"Yes, yes, eating and chatting is the key point!"

Everyone laughed and took their seats in the private room, talking and laughing, exchanging recent interesting stories in life and strange encounters at work.Although everyone develops in various directions, when they meet, they are still the group of old friends who love to joke and scold.The atmosphere quickly became lively, and everyone chatted while eating, having a great time.

Although this group of people is getting older and their personalities are getting smoother, they still look cheerful and cheerful when they get along.That familiarity and tacit understanding, even with the passage of time, has not changed at all.This is also the greatest joy of meeting old friends. It can make people temporarily forget the passage of time and miss the good old days.

During the heated chat, the topic turned to stocks and the economy inadvertently.Everyone said something to each other, and the chat was in full swing.

"Look at that Group A's recent performance has not risen in a straight line, and the stock price has also been rising."

"Yeah, if you bought it a few years ago, you are now an upstart!"

"Company B heard that there was a reorganization some time ago, and it is estimated that the stock price will also improve."

"The CEO of Group C resigned, and the stock once fell by the limit. If you buy now, you will be able to miss it!"

"Why do you all know stocks so well? I'm still worrying about my life!" Shen Ye said jokingly.

"Brother Ye, if you don't know stocks now, you are out! If you want to get rich, investing in stocks is the only way!"

"Yeah, Brother Ye, if wage earners like us don't know how to invest, how can we provide for the elderly in the future!"

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, the chat is really devoted.And Shen Ye seemed a little embarrassed, because in the eyes of others, he really didn't understand these things.

In the face of everyone's heated discussion, he responded with a dry smile, seemingly unable to keep up with the progress.

This made him seem a bit out of place among the crowd.Although everyone didn't do it intentionally, Shen Ye still felt a little embarrassed by the well-known atmosphere of topics and excitement.

He began to regret why he didn't learn more stock knowledge at the beginning, but now he can liven up the atmosphere a little bit, so that he won't be reduced to the point of laughing on the sidelines.

However, even though it was difficult to interrupt, Shen Ye was still happy to be together with Mu Xiaoxi's old friends.

As long as everyone is happy, his embarrassment will be reduced a lot.

After all these years, being able to reunite with Mu Xiaoxi's college brothers and make Mu Xiaoxi happy is enough for Shen Ye.

Shen Ye sat there, quietly listening to everyone's lively discussion, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.He actually didn't feel embarrassed at all, he just deliberately didn't want to show his goodness.

Shen Ye was born into a wealthy family, and these stock topics were commonplace for him.It was just to prevent everyone from seeing his identity, so he deliberately pretended not to understand.And everyone was indeed confused by him, thinking that he was a person who knew nothing about it.

Seeing everyone discussing excitedly, Shen Ye actually found it very interesting in his heart.He knew that most of what these people said was wrong or one-sided, but he pretended to listen carefully, and asked some confused questions from time to time, which made everyone explain non-stop.

The smile on Shen Ye's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.He was thinking, if one day everyone knew his true identity, they would be ashamed when they looked back at today's scene, right? Especially those who triumphantly explained their stock knowledge, recalling their tone and performance at that time, they would definitely feel extremely embarrassed.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Ye's good mood went up to a higher level.Although I feel a little embarrassed, the taste of deceiving my friends is really novel and interesting.What's more, if everyone knew the truth, they wouldn't really be angry with themselves.It is estimated that I would also feel that I was too deliberate to cover up and missed a lot of fun in getting along.

Shen Ye smiled and shook his head, temporarily putting these thoughts behind him.

Now, reuniting with Mu Xiaoxi's old friends is the greatest joy, and those little ideas that tease them will be practiced slowly in the future.

He put away his smile, continued to maintain an appearance of attentively listening to the lecture, and continued the process with everyone.

Mu Xiaoxi saw it, and knew in her heart that this group of people deliberately embarrassed Shen Ye.Although we are old friends, we often have this kind of teasing and teasing behavior, but today this kind of energy is really too much.

Looking at Shen Ye's stiff smile, Mu Xiaoxi couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.She knew that Shen Ye was not actually interested in stocks, so she must have felt extremely embarrassed to be coaxed and explained by everyone.But because he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, Shen Ye could only bite the bullet and listen, inserting a few ordinary words from time to time, barely holding the scene.

Mu Xiaoxi frowned, feeling that everyone was going too far.Although it is a common behavior in class reunions, it can't reach the point where people are completely helpless to fight back.She could see the embarrassment on Shen Ye's expression, but she couldn't directly intervene to stop everyone.

She patted Shen Ye's hand lightly, signaling him not to care too much.Shen Ye smiled at her, showing a relaxed expression, as if saying that he didn't really care about the behavior of these people.Although Mu Xiaoxi was a little dissatisfied, she could only let it go for the time being.She understood that now is not the time to correct everyone, lest it attract attention and make Shen Ye's embarrassment worse.

She decided to talk to Shen Ye about it after the meal was over, so that Shen Ye would not feel uncomfortable.

Although it is a joke and teasing by friends, it should not be unrestrained, making it difficult to resist.

If there is another meeting next time, she will explain to everyone in advance to avoid the situation like today from happening again.

Now she can only endure it for the time being, so as not to show her displeasure and ruin the atmosphere of the dinner party.
