“You flatter me, Wise One,” Xiao Luo said with a shty nor hureat future awaits you!” oldhiht Xiao Luo is bound to attain great achieve a chopper will not hold up the work of cutting firewood Xiao Luo’s few years in university has given him an entirely different temperament”
“Yes, indeed It is the reason why Miss Ji took a liking to Xiao Luo”
Everyone heaped lavish praises on Xiao Luo
That didn’t sit ith Xiao Qiudong, who stood seething silently in the crowd, gritting his teeth and shaking in anger He felt his sense of superiority cru youth in Luo Village All the glory and liht had now shi+fted to Xiao Luo

Only capable of saving up 50 thousand dollars a year at this point in his life is nothing to flaunt and be proud of” Then gesturing to Ji Siying, he added, “The only thing he can show off now is his girlfriend, Miss Ji But to Miss Ji, I have a piece of advice for you Those fairy tales you read will never happen in reality You ht believe in love, but what about your family? Would they allow you to marry a poor brat like Xiao Luo, born from a mediocre family and who can’t even afford a house and a car?

Xiao Qiudong turned his head, and he saw it cary all at once He stared at Xiao Ping coldly and yelled, “Xiao Ping, what did you have for dinner, explosives?!”
“Xiao Qiudong, what are you saying? The three of us have been friends since ere young We played in thein the river together Luo is now living a great life, and I’enuinely happy for hi now? Can’t you bear to see Luo doing better than you? Are you only happy when Luo is inferior to you in every single thing? Xiao Qiudong, do you have arebuked hier Xiao Qiudong had crossed the line this time
“I have ascoffed, “Isn’t what I said true? If he hadn’t gotten his hands on a rich girl, he’d just be nothing otten into you? What is this insanity you’re showing in front of the Seekong altar?” Xiao Dizhang shouted, clearly angry and disappointed in Xiao Qiudong
“Uncle Dizhang, I’ the facts Why does everybody think that I’ood looking and has caught the eye of a rich girl, but these aside, he’s nothing!
