Just after I replied to Justin, I received a WeChat message from Chloe:
"Hubby, I'm going back to my hometown to visit my parents today. I've prepared the food for you and put it in the refrigerator. You can just heat it up and eat it when the time comes."
"Love you, baby."
Chloe and I have been married for three years. Although she spends a lot of money, she always takes good care of me. Even when she is away from home, she never forgets to prepare daily necessities for me.
In the past, I was always moved by her heartwarming details. But now, I just find it ridiculous.
I ended the meeting early and drove to Justin's hometown according to the wedding location he posted in the group. Before I arrived, I saw a huge red banner hanging at the entrance of the hotel in Justin 's hometown: "Congratulations to Ms. Chloe, President of Shengding Group, on her wedding!"
Under the banner, Justin, wearing a high-end suit, waited for the bride to arrive with his head held high, surrounded by a group of old high school classmates.
"Brother Xuan, you hid it too well. You didn't let everyone know until you got married that your wife was actually the female president of Shengding Group!"
"Yes, Chloe is a famous female entrepreneur. You are really capable to marry such an outstanding, rich and beautiful woman!"
" Brother Xuan, you are about to marry into a wealthy family, so don't forget us old classmates!"
Even the high school teacher flattered Justin: " Justin , the first time the teacher saw you, he knew that you would have a bright future. So even though your high school grades were not good, the teacher never criticized you and even made you the class monitor, because I knew that you were born to be rich and you don't need to rely on your grades at all!"
Justin proudly enjoyed the flattery from his classmates and class teacher, like a proud rooster.
After Chloe married me, she always said that she wanted to start her own business. I funded her to open luxury stores, beauty salons, yoga studios, etc., but without exception, they all went bankrupt. However, she became more and more courageous. After the failure of opening a store, she wanted to start a business and become a female president. I gave her the smallest Shengding Group under my name, but I didn't expect that this would become Justin 's capital for showing off and being flattered.
Seeing me coming, the old classmates who were actively flattering me just now frowned and looked at me with disgust. One of Justin's followers saw the car behind me and immediately ran over to sneer: "Ethan, you are too vain, aren't you? You rented a Rolls-Royce to attend Brother Xuan's wedding to save face?"
Hearing this, the others also looked down on him: "No wonder you dare to come here to show off? This car rental costs at least half a year's salary, right?"
"Some people really like to pretend to be rich. No matter how much you pretend to be rich, can you be richer than Brother Xuan's CEO wife?!"
"That's right! Is it so difficult to admit that others are better than you? Is it worth it to rent a luxury car just to show off just for the sake of comparison?"
Facing the disparagement from everyone, I remained calm and said, "This is my own car."
Justin suddenly walked up to me and punched me in the face: "Your car? This is obviously my wife's car!"
"I have long suspected that my wife has a gigolo outside, but I didn't expect it to be you, a loser!"
"How dare you, a shameless gigolo, drive my wife's car to my wedding to provoke me, your legitimate husband?"
