Chapter 903: Chapter 893: The Bride You Married Isn’t the Bride
To be honest, he never expected Ning Tong to have a part in his life again; after all, they had a bit of a crush in high school, and she got married last year. Most importantly, he now feels no affection for her, but rather some resentment, as the two stand on opposite sides because of Zhang Chao.
Under these circumstances, he never imagined he would ever have any entanglement with Ning Tong again.
However, it turns out Ning Tong getting divorced was something the narrator had already hinted to him.
Thinking of this, his gaze naturally shifted downward. Sure enough, Ning Tong’s belly was flat, looks like she had already delivered.
This makes sense. After all, at the beginning of the year, when they were in the hospital — at Ding Qiang’s father’s funeral— Ning Tong’s belly was already quite big. A few months later, delivering was only to be expected.
"Oh, congratulations, regaining your freedom," Su Qing casually replied and turned his head to focus on his skewers, having no intention of continuing the conversation with her.
Normally, given their relationship, the worst they could be considered is classmates, and should be able to chat for a bit upon seeing each other. But because of that dumb Zhang Chao, they can’t even be friends, despite the fact that she’s divorced now.
"Su Qing... about last time... I’m sorry, I know it was my fault, I..."
Without waiting for Ning Tong to continue, Su Qing quickly waved her off, interrupting, "Stop. You know what disgraceful things you two did back then, even if you’re divorced now, you two did those things together. Don’t act so innocent.
Besides, the matter is long past, it’s turned over, and I don’t see any relationship between us anymore."
Ning Tong, having returned to county life, couldn’t adjust to the difference. Although her in-laws compensated her, Zhang Chao held discontent due to the previous incident, treating her coldly during her pregnancy, frequently staying out all night doing nothing.
Ning Tong, who had a strong desire to compare, could not stand such a difference, especially in the past half year, when she often saw Su Qing’s news online; the huge gap left her extremely unwilling.
She didn’t want to live in a small county, nor did she want a man who was so pathetic, especially one who treated her poorly. So, she filed for divorce.
Seeing you just now, she wanted to mend relations, even if she couldn’t make you like her again, at least she could gain some advantage by getting a lucrative job. She even contemplated developing a clandestine relationship with you, that way she could extract more value, and she was confident since you had a crush on her in high school.
The narrator’s hints were detailed, covering Ning Tong’s divorce reasons to her mental activities, all-inclusive.
It must be said, this woman was quite something, her goals were very clear, even better than most women who had figured out what they want.
Nevertheless, Su Qing still held some disdain, not because he saw through her plan, but because of Ning Tong’s presumptuous superiority.
She thought she could find someone better with her youth and good looks, unaware that after leaving Zhang Chao, she would be hard-pressed to find another man with similar conditions to marry.
Those toxic online commentaries are truly poisonous, always claiming that divorced women can find better ones. Nonsense, what kind of rich fool would seek out a divorced woman with a kid?
Especially when such a woman cannot offer him any help.
"Su Qing, I..."
Without waiting for Ning Tong to finish, Su Qing picked up a bottle of wine, signaling to Wang Xing and Ding Qiang, who also cooperated by raising their bottles; none of the three cast a glance at her.
"Classmate, we’re drinking here. Your watching makes us awkward, you know. If you really want this spot, we can move a bit, find another place to eat?" Ding Qiang sneered coldly.
Upon hearing this, despite Ning Tong’s desire to reconcile, she couldn’t stay any longer with no face.
"Hey, Qingzi, what does she mean by this, divorcing and making a special point to tell you? Luckily Shen Boss isn’t here today, or you’d have some explaining to do," Wang Xing chuckled.
"If you ask me, this woman’s not holding in any good intentions, maybe seeing Qingzi doing well, she wants a bite of the return grass?" Ding Qiang said unceremoniously.
Back at the beginning of the year, his dad was still in the hospital, these two came to cause trouble, already he’s restrained himself from cursing directly.
"Who cares, in my world, she’s long irrelevant, divorced or living anew, none involves me.
Actually, I can understand her; when the direction is wrong, stopping is the best progress, this applies to any relationship. Cutting losses promptly is also quite good."
Speaking, Su Qing stretched, took a deep breath, smiled: "Okay, don’t mind her. Focus on your things these days, meeting parents as needed, buy a house as needed, if it’s a new plot, get decorating quickly.
In half a month, Tiny Dog and Xu Yuezhen will be back, we’ll have a group meeting, and inform San’er about it.
Oh, Daqiang, Lao A and I both have arrangements, Tiny Dog also found a girlfriend, you’d better hurry up too!"
Hearing this, unexpectedly Ding Qiang shook his head: "Actually, I have someone I like, just saw her from afar a few days ago!"
Hearing this, Su Qing and Wang Xing were caught by surprise, neither ever heard this news.
"Who is it, do we know them? How come you never mentioned it?" Wang Xing curiously asked.
Hearing this, Su Qing rolled his eyes at Wang Xing and said: "Don’t mind him, talk, how does it feel? If you like her, we’ll help you pursue her, aim for getting married this year!"
To this, Ding Qiang shook his head: "Actually, just a glance, but I found that the person I liked once, seems just so-so, felt nothing special now. Forget it, won’t compare myself to you two. I’m pretty good on my own."
For Ding Qiang’s attitude, Su Qing and Wang Xing couldn’t do much; after all, his dad just passed away this year, wanting to wait is understandable, and making money is quite good too.
"Alright then, call us whenever needed."
Then the three raised their bottles, offering advice to Wang Xing, while imagining post-marriage life.
Soon, July arrived, the temperature in Jiang City reached its peak, Su He flew back that day.
Directly went to the company to hang out with Shen Yi, then wildly shot materials, dragging Da Huang for countless shots.
A week later, Wang Xing sent a message, with a photo of a beautiful woman in a split qipao, revealing a pair of fair legs.
"Qingzi, my mother-in-law is quite something!"
Seeing Wang Xing’s message, Su Qing’s eyes widened, and immediately replied:
"Damn, calm down, you married the bride, not the bride!"
Wang Xing: ???
