Chapter 2502 - 2503: Partners in Crime
It seemed everyone was astonished, especially those few female classmates, truly unexpected that Gu Mian’s husband was so handsome and sophisticated.
Most people would be jealous, especially women!
Gu Mian was already thirty, considered an old maid, yet she found such a husband, it’s impossible not to be jealous.
"So it’s Gu Mian’s husband." The slender woman said with a smile, "What do you do for a living?"
"I am a teacher," Nangong Yue replied calmly.
"A teacher?" The woman raised her eyebrows in surprise, feigning surprise, "I couldn’t tell! Gu Mian had her eyes set high when she was in school, never thought she’d become more down-to-earth now."
Her words weren’t that straightforward, but anyone with half a brain could tell she was mocking Gu Mian.
Mocking that Gu Mian once had high standards, but now she only found a teacher, and how much could a teacher earn, right?
Such blatant sarcasm is unparalleled.
But Nangong Yue didn’t appear angry, instead, he smiled and said, "Teaching and nurturing is a virtuous act, isn’t education the fundamental basis of a country?"
The woman paused, then laughed, "Oh, yes, yes."
Although she said so, her eyes were full of mockery, thinking he’s just a teacher, yet he boasts himself so highly, what a joke.
Unsatisfied, after laughing, she looked at Gu Mian and said, "Gu Mian, your husband’s pretty good with words, looks like the heiress can’t resist sweet talk after all!"
That statement was clear mockery, suggesting that Nangong Yue was a pretty boy who tricked Gu Mian with smooth talk, maybe she’s even paying for him.
Gu Mian couldn’t hold back and rolled her eyes, not wanting to deal with these people, so she said directly, "We have something to do, we’ll be leaving now, won’t accompany you all."
With that, she pulled Nangong Yue to leave, but unexpectedly Zhang Li called out to Gu Mian.
Gu Mian turned and asked, "Anything else?"
Zhang Li smiled sheepishly and said, "Gu Mian, which private room are you in, I’ll put the bill on my tab later."
Zhang Li indeed had money now; he overheard the conversation between Gu Mian and that female classmate and subconsciously assumed Nangong Yue was a pretty boy mooching off her, so he offered to pay.
They were all working adults now, having navigated through society, naturally, they wouldn’t speak and act as directly as they did in their younger days, so they were more subtle.
But Nangong Yue and Gu Mian were also seasoned in society, they knew exactly what this gesture meant, clearly a slap in the face.
Nangong Yue looked at Gu Mian and couldn’t help but smile, and said pleasantly, "Since this classmate is so gracious, why not accept politely?"
Gu Mian raised an eyebrow, "Shall we let the kitchen keep sending dishes then? Bring them all out, how about it?"
"Sounds good," Nangong Yue nodded, the two seemed to be in cahoots.
Zhang Li was startled and asked, "Wha, what do you mean?"
"Oh, it’s like this." Nangong Yue replied good-naturedly, "Today is the day my wife and I got our certificate, to celebrate, my wife ordered every dish here."
Zhang Li: "..."
Oh my, every dish?
What the heck!!!
Even he wouldn’t dare to say let ’Flavor of Jiangnan’ serve every dish on the menu.
Zhang Li was utterly stupefied.
