After all, they are still students. Even those students from wealthy families have never thought that the bride price could reach such a high figure.

"Look at Li Nian's parents. They were grinning from ear to ear at the wedding. It didn't look like they were unhappy with their son-in-law at all."

"How can you be dissatisfied?"

Someone lowered the volume:

"I heard that this President Qi has a lot of connections. Li Nian's father has been the deputy director for 20 years and has never been promoted. President Qi even knows the dean, and he was directly promoted to director last week!"

"I heard her mother became the head nurse too..."

Everyone couldn't hide their envy when they heard this:

"I didn't expect that Mr. Qi has so many connections... He's also generous to his wife's family. Looking at his appearance at the wedding, although he's over 40, he's well maintained and doesn't look 40 at all. I'm a little envious of Li Nian..."

"I heard that their wedding room is nearby, a large flat in the city. Li Nian suddenly has her own cloakroom, and the toilet she posted is bigger than my room..."

"This location... this large flat is worth hundreds of millions, right?"

“You’re really rich.”

"We all started from the same starting line, but Li Nian has already surpassed us and reached the finish line..."

When Li Nian came in, she happened to hear everyone discussing her.

After vaguely hearing the general content, Li Nian curled the corners of his mouth.

After noticing her arrival, others started talking to her, either wishing her well or envying her for the grand wedding and how much favor she received from her husband's family...

Li Nian smiled smugly, finally feeling relieved.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Tingyu, but saw that Lin Tingyu was still turning a deaf ear to everything around him, as if he didn't care about her at all.

The smile on Li Nian's face disappeared.

She pursed her lower lip, feeling increasingly irritated.

She had been acting like a spoiled brat in front of Fu Hansheng for a long time before he let her hold such a grand wedding.

This did make her feel proud in front of these classmates, but now Li Nian discovered that as long as Lin Tingyu didn't envy her, she didn't seem to feel relieved at all.

Because Lin Tingyu is the only one who knows her true situation...

She didn't put on any disguise in front of Lin Tingyu.

Lin Tingyu heard that the people around her envied her, and maybe they were laughing at her in their hearts, thinking that she was very pitiful and ridiculous...

The manicure Li Nian had just done dug into her flesh.

It hurt, but she still had a smile on her face and told her gossiping classmates how generous and doting her in-laws were.

On the other side, although Lin Tingyu heard everyone's discussion about Li Nian's wedding, she didn't actually pay attention to it.

She was so immersed in her studies that she didn't even notice Li Nian's arrival, let alone realize that Li Nian thought she was pitying her because she acted as if no one was around.

Fortunately, Lin Tingyu is now the only person who knows Li Nian’s secret. Li Nian naturally doesn’t want to offend her. Seeing that Lin Tingyu is just studying quietly, he ignores her.

However, every time Lin Tingyu talked to others, Li Nian felt a little nervous.

She always felt that Lin Tingyu might mention her to the other party at any time...

After that, whenever anyone who had spoken to Lin Tingyu smiled at her, Li Nian could not help but start to doubt:

Why was this person smiling at her? Why was he smiling so strangely? Could it be...

Got it?!

Li Nian tried again and again, but the final conclusion he came to was:

Lin Tingyu didn't tell anyone.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why did she confide to Lin Tingyu that her marriage with Qi Xiu was a fake one just because of her momentary pain?

Then he couldn't help but think, even if she didn't confide in him, given the situation at the time, Lin Tingyu would have guessed it if he wasn't stupid...

Thinking of this, she felt a little resentful towards Lin Tingyu.

Why did Lin Tingyu have to get up so early to memorize a book?

If she hadn't seen her with Fu Hansheng, even if she were to marry an old man like Qi Xiu, she wouldn't be so embarrassed in front of Lin Tingyu, and she wouldn't feel ashamed...

But now...

Li Nian's resentment towards Lin Tingyu grew deeper and deeper.

Lin Tingyu could actually feel it.

She sighed in her heart, feeling helpless.

This is why she doesn't want to continue being friends with Li Nian.

Because she knew very well that with Li Nian's personality, as long as she knew that she was pregnant with Fu Hansheng's child and had a fake marriage with Qi Xiu, even if Li Nian was her best friend on the surface, she would actually resent her in her heart...

It would be annoying to have such a person around, so Lin Tingyu simply stopped being friends with Li Nian and decided to turn a blind eye.

Jiang Li, who was familiar with both of them during the military training, naturally saw the estrangement between Lin Tingyu and Li Nian.

Jiang Li didn't know the inside story of Li Nian's wedding. Although he complained that Li Nian got married too early, he couldn't help but feel envious after attending Li Nian's wedding.

Lin Tingyu was able to see the video of Li Nian’s wedding, and also saw what Jiang Li posted on WeChat Moments.

Because of their estrangement, Jiang Li was in an awkward situation for a while.

During class, Jiang Li always pulled Li Nian to sit next to Lin Tingyu, hoping to restore their previous relationship.

Li Nian's attitude remained the same as before, and he was even apparently closer to Lin Tingyu.

But Lin Tingyu's attitude was very cold.

This made Jiang Li feel that the problem was with Lin Tingyu, and he couldn't help but advise her privately:

"I know you think Li Nian wants to marry a rich man because she wants to get married early, and you think she doesn't agree with you, but Qingyu, that's her life. Besides, she hasn't affected us and has always been very nice to us, right?"

"I don't think you should distance yourself from her because of something like this."

"Besides, maybe Li Nian and her husband are actually in true love? If it wasn't true love, how could she smile so happily?"

Happy? Li Nian is happy, probably because of Fu Hansheng.

Lin Tingyu did not explain, but just said:

"Jiang Li, I didn't distance myself from her. I was just too busy."

Jiang Li also knew that Lin Tingyu worked harder academically than any of them.

Although Lin Tingyu had never told her, she needed to fill out family information at the beginning of her freshman year, and Jiang Li was right next to her at the time.

She just glanced at it accidentally at the time, but remembered what Lin Tingyu filled in.

Lin Tingyu is a single parent. Her father is a policeman who died in the line of duty, and her mother is a retired teacher...

Moreover, it was in a small town like S City...

It is conceivable that Lin Tingyu's family background should be average.

She studies so hard, probably because she wants to change her life through her own efforts, right?

After all, many hospitals are vying to recruit doctors from their school.

If she could stay in the hospital in the imperial capital and work for a period of time, she would probably become a citizen of the imperial capital. Plus, doctors are paid well, so Lin Tingyu's life might have changed...

So, no wonder she works so hard!

If Jiang Li knew that Lin Tingyu once wanted to become a doctor simply because her mother and she felt that becoming a doctor could help more people better, I wonder what her expression would be?
