"Zhang nglong, I never thought you would co." Xie Siqi said with a sarcastic tone, the presence of an ex-boyfriend at her wedding was quite sensitive, especially since the man she was marrying had an extraordinary status.
Actually, when inviting Zhang nglong, Xie Siqi had also acted on Liu Qingsu's suggestion. Although Zhang nglong and Xie Siqi did not have any substantial relationship, even a nominal one could cause a man to feel uneasy.
If Zhang nglong had not co today, then such a person would pose no threat to him, and he could just let it go as if it were nothing.
But if he had co, he felt confident that he could crush him at the wedding today, showing him what it would take to make Xie Siqi happy, and even rob him of the courage to recall this past from now on.
However, Zhang nglong's appearance caught Xie Siqi slightly off guard, and for a mont she didn't even know what to say to him.
"Oh, I'm a man of my word. I once said that no matter who gets married, we must attend. I'm just here to keep my promise," Zhang nglong said with a calm and sowhat unbelievable look.
"But why did you have to rent a car specifically? Is face that important to you?" Xie Siqi thought Zhang nglong's remarks were a jab at her disloyalty, "Even renting a car must cost a good amount of money, right? You didn't take out so kind of private loans, did you?"
"I've heard that the interest on those loans is calculated by the day. You better return the car soon. If you're tight on money, we can help you a bit – this small amount of money is still sothing I can afford for Siqi," Liu Qingsu echoed.
"Rent?" Zhang nglong sneered, "Then you can just think of it as rented."
Zhang nglong had no intention of explaining. Wasn't Xie Siqi's departure due to finding soone who could offer her a better material life? Since she had already tagged him as a poor kid, no matter how much he explained, it would be pointless.
"Anyway, today is your wedding day. I wish you a happy marriage." Zhang nglong handed over a red envelope that contained not a single dollar, just a bank card."
"Looks like Brother Zhang ca prepared today," Liu Qingsu laughed. Today's event was filled with businesspeople and their descendants, besides so classmates. Under such circumstances, any gift less than a five-digit sum would be embarrassing.
Here, either incredulously thick red envelopes appeared or bank cards.
Zhang nglong's financial circumstances were well known to Xie Siqi; while he was studying, he lived on a re 2000 per month from an average salaried family, and he hadn't found a job yet, so saving a few thousand in living expenses was the most he could do – this bank card was probably just to mask his insecurity.
"Can't be too rude," Zhang nglong laughed.
"Brother Zhang wouldn't mind if we check the amount on this bank card, right?" Liu Qingsu pointed to a gift money station nearby. Unfamiliar guests would leave their gift money there and write down the amount and their nas.
"Please do," Zhang nglong knew they were trying to embarrass him in every possible way, but the number on this bank card would surely astound them.
Is this money worth it?
Of course not. Zhang nglong felt even donating to beggars would be more worthwhile than giving it to them, but he had ways to get this money back.
"Jia Jia, help
check the amount on this card."
"Sure." As part of the bridesmaid group, they all received rather generous tokens today, and of course, they also had the task of serving the bride and groom.
Wang Yujia took the bank card with an awkward look at Zhang nglong. Morally, she sympathized with Zhang nglong's ordeal, but emotionally, she had to side with Xie Siqi, so her interaction with Zhang nglong was sowhat uncomfortable.
"13.14 million?" When she checked the balance on the card, she was stunned on the spot.
"What's wrong, Jia Jia?" Xie Siqi felt secretly pleased, thinking her guess that the bank card had a few thousand was too high for Zhang nglong.
Indeed, renting such a luxury car for a day costs several thousand, and he probably had spent nearly all his money by now.
"This card has over ten million!" Wang Yujia confird again.
"Over ten million? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" A bank employee and so equipnt were present at the wedding scene; Xie Siqi imdiately crowded in front of the device.
"How is this possible? Impossible! This can't be!" Xie Siqi shook her head repeatedly. How could Zhang nglong possibly have so much money?
"Are you done checking? Then I guess I can take my seat now?" Zhang nglong revealed a cultured smile and then walked into the venue.
"He's been lying to
all along!" Xie Siqi didn't know what ca over her, her head suddenly throbbing, "Zhang nglong, you lied to !"
"What did I lie to you about?" Zhang nglong turned around and asked.
"So you've been pretending to be ordinary all along, what's the aning of this? Testing ?" Xie Siqi yelled hysterically, even attracting quite a few glances.
"Testing you?" Zhang nglong revealed a mocking smile, "Do you deserve it? Believe it or not, I really was just the poor boy you thought I was. It's just that my parents always kept it from , I only guessed and found out just now that my family is really rich."
Zhang nglong spread his hands with an expression that said "bla , huh?"
"President Zhang! I didn't expect to see you here!" Just then, a sowhat familiar voice ca from behind him.
"Xu Feng?" Zhang nglong recognized the man who greeted him at a glance; it was the marketing director from Unicorn Technology they t at Lofitte Hotel on the last day of National Day, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I have so business cooperation with the groom's father and received an invitation today, so I ca to show him so face," Xu Feng said. "I heard the bride is also a recent graduate from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology; are you friends with her?"
"Friends? Not really," Zhang nglong shook his head, "I'm just an ex-boyfriend."
"What?" Xu Feng's expression turned to one of disbelief. The bride chose not to marry the CEO of a company worth billions of US dollars but instead married the young owner of a company with rely a billion in assets?
Although, compared to ordinary people, it's still like climbing high on the branch to beco a phoenix, but there are differences amongst phoenixes too.
"She really has no taste!" Xu Feng pursed his lips, "But President Zhang, it's quite rare for you to co back for your ex-girlfriend's wedding."
"Soone wanted to slap
in the face, wouldn't my absence disappoint them?" Zhang nglong replied.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xu Feng's expression suddenly changed. It looked like there was quite a story behind this. Although he didn't know the details, he could see that Zhang nglong was quite hostile towards the bride and groom.
"I'll go in first." Zhang nglong waved his hand and went straight into the venue.
"Alright, I'll look for you later."
...
"Mr. Xu, you know Zhang nglong?" Liu Qingsu had been watching them from the side for quite so ti now.
This Mr. Xu was no ordinary person; at thirty-five, he beca the regional director for a billion-dollar company. Even his father had to flatter him, and he had gone to great lengths to secure this collaboration.
Seeing how humble Xu Feng was during their conversation made him sowhat anxious.
"President Zhang is our chairman at Unicorn Technology." The people Zhang nglong resented, how could Xu Feng show a friendly face? He left so gift money and walked in, showing no desire to chat.
"What? Zhang nglong is the chairman of Unicorn Technology?" This news burst like a bomb, stunning everyone.
