Hello, Wife!

Chapter 49: A Woman's Vanity

"I'm going up now. Be careful when you're driving back." Su Le was carrying many things in her hands as she spoke to Chen Yue, who was seated in a red sports car.

"I know. Remember to dress up properly tomorrow. I will also be attending and we will deal with anyone who runs their mouth off tomorrow!" Chen Yue furrowed her brows when she thought about some of their university classmates who enjoyed seeing others suffering. "Is great God Wei also attending tomorrow?"

Su Le nodded, "He said we will be going together."

"Then everything will be alright. With great God present to guard, who would be stupid enough to make things difficult for you? I'm leaving now. Goodbye." She stepped on the accelerator and left the area with ease.

Su Le sighed. It was clear that Wei Chu was still the God with a high status in Chen Yue's mind. Maybe their difference in perspectives was because of the difference in distance between them. The more distant something was, the more beautiful it became.

Women could be shallow, profound, indifferent, or even petty, but they only had 3 choices when an ex-boyfriend invited them to his engagement party, and the fiancee was someone else. The options were: ignore the invitation, keep a low profile when proceeding, or dress up beautifully when attending to show everyone else that she didn't care.

With Su Le's personality, she would have chosen the second option to dress modestly and keep a low profile. But when she discovered that Wei Chu was attending the party with her, she knew that keeping a low profile and blending in would be impossible, so she could only resign herself to shopping with Chen Yue. However, she was suspicious that Chen Yue was using the excuse that Su Le would need to dress up for the party just to go shopping.

After putting the pile of things down at her house, Su Le released a deep breath.

Two days ago, when Wei Chu took the initiative and told her during dinner that he would be accompanying her to Zhuang Wei's engagement party, Su Le was clear that Wei Chu just wanted to prevent her from being embarrassed on the day, because Wei Chu, generally, did not have much interaction with Zhuang Wei in business or in private.

When she and Zhuang Wei were dating, there were quite a number of girls who said that she was like a sparrow that had become a phoenix. And when she split up with Zhuang Wei, she was aware that there were many who wanted to watch a live drama as well as her misfortune unfold. Now that Zhuang Wei was getting engaged with a rich girl, Su Le was unsure of how many people wanted to mock her. She could even predict what they would say to ridicule her. There were truly many of those people who took joy in other's people suffering, and it was a common occurrence.

Su Le admitted that she was also a common person, so she knew that she had to fight to maintain her face and dignity. She also understood why Chen Yue kept reminding her that she should dress up well tomorrow. Although Chen Yue's personality was fiery and bold, she was also very considerate towards Su Le, and her actions were proper. During her few years in university, no one dared to say any thoughtless remarks in front of Chen Yue.

There was a pile of tops, pants, and dresses on Su Le's bed, and it had cost her quite a bit. Su Le felt some heartache for the money she had wasted. If she splurged money like this every month, she would be living on the streets within a few years. Her little bit of money couldn't be compared to others with backers to rely on, those vanity thoughts should die!

When a man no longer loved a woman, one reason would always be that the woman was too vain, but the man also wished that their girlfriend would dress up beautifully so that they could maintain their reputation. It could be said men were contradictory creatures.
