Chapter 118 Being Xenocentric (2/2)
After saying this, Zhu Linlin leant over to her black husband, Cafu, looking as if she were saying ”don't be jealous of me!”
Echo by Zhu Linlin, Zhang Xiaohui looked even cockier. She pointed to Ma Wenzhuo's nose and shouted, ”Jiro is short, but he earns a lot. Tall as you are, you'll never be rich.”
She then turned to the girls sitting beside her, ”Women should be wise when choosing their boyfriends. Linlin, the best example. She ran after Qin Haodong when in middle school, but now, we all can tell Qin Haodong has nothing remarkable except his handsome face, with which, we can't feed ourselves or buy anything. Linlin would not be happy now if she had married Qin Haodong.”
”You... You...” Ma Wenzhuo was enraged to a tremble. He stamped hard on the floor before turning to leave with nobody in the room able to stop him.
He ran into Qin Haodong just as he walked out of the room.
”Hello, Wenzhuo, you're here early. Where are you going?”
Ma Wenzhuo replied in anger, ”This is not a place for us, brother. Let's leave here for a drink. My treat.”
Looking at Zhang Xiaohui, who stood near the door with folded arms, Qin Haodong finally knew what was going on. He muttered, ”What's matter? Are you still angry at that Japanese?”
”Bro, why are the women so snobbish now? It's really annoying,” said Ma Wenzhuo to Qin Haodong, ”I don't blame Zhang Xiaohui for breaking up with me, and I has no affection for her now, but, I'm so indignant that she is going to marry a short, ugly Japanese with bowlegs.
”Do you remember Zhu Linlin? She had ran after you in middle school, but now, she has married a black man and has a black child. Is there anything good in doing this? She made her children and grandchildren all have black skin just on account of money!”
Qin Haodong was slightly surprised by the words. He remembered Zhu Linlin as a pretty girl who had chased after him for a year in the middle school. He never expected the girl he rejected married a black man in the end.
”Black people indeed have powerful genes. No matter one is white or yellow, the child of them and black people would probably have dark skin. Nothing can change it.”
”Forget it. Several men, several minds. You don't need to be angry at her. She is eagerly waiting for us to leave, so, we can't grant her wish. Just ignore her; we're here to attend the reunion.”
Ma Wenzhuo did not want to disgrace himself by leaving, therefore, he followed Qin Haodong back into the room.
Seeing Ma Wenzhuo's return, Zhang Xiaohui scoffed. ”Well, meeting one of your kind emboldened you?”
”Come on, Xiaohui, we're here for the reunion. Talk something pleasing please,” Qin Haodong replied.
He wanted to settle the quarrels between Ma Wenzhuo and Zhang Xiaohui and let the matter drop.
”Stop playing a nice guy, Qin Haodong. We all know that you and Ma Wenzhuo are good friends. You're a pauper just like him.”
Qin Haodong's face darkened as he heard the words. He did not expect Zhang Xiaohui to be so unreasonable.
”Zhang Xiaohui, are you mad to provoke everyone you see? Haodong did not offend you at all.”
”Am I wrong?” Zhang Xiaohui pointed at Zhu Linlin, who sat beside and watched them arguing, and said, ”Look at Linlin. She is in luxury clothes, and the diamond on her ring is even bigger than a pigeon egg. If she married Qin Haodong back then, she would be working for others and could only wear cheap clothes now.”
”Xiaohui, the past is past. I was young and innocent at that time. Fortunately, I gave up before it was too late, so, I didn't make the mistake of a lifetime.” Zhu Linlin fondled the diamond ring with her right hand as she spoke. ”In fact, this ring is not expensive. It cost us only 500,000 yuan. If Qin Haodong works hard for eight to ten years without spending a cent, he could afford one like this as well.”
”Haodong, you see, they are so...”
Ma Wenzhuo was blushed with anger and felt as if his lung were about to explode because of these two snobs.
Qin Haodong had lived more than 500 years and did not take the women's words seriously. He said, ”Forget it. These things have long past. Let them say whatever they'd like to.”
He did not want to continue the topic, however, Zhang Xiaohui just did not give up. Because Qin Haodong had a good relationship with Ma Wenzhuo, Zhang Xiaohui also started to hate him. She said with sarcasm, ”It sounds that you thought our words unreasonable. Am I wrong?
”Poor like you, you can only wheedle innocent girls with your appearance. Now, we are all adults, and no one will be fooled by you. As a result, you are both single and two bachelors. No girl will be so stupid to fall in love with pauper like you.
”Therefore, for a man, a handsome look is useless. It's more important for him to be capable and make a lot of money.”
Zhu Linlin echoed her at once. ”Xiaohui's words may sound harsh, but, it's the reality. The two of you don't even have a girlfriend, but, look at us, Xiaohui is about to get married, and my child is three and half years old. He is so cute.”
As she said that, she held the black boy high to others to show off.
Ma Wenzhuo was so angry that he said, ”He is as black as coal. Why can't I see that he is cute?”
Zhu Linlin was displeased when hearing the words and thundered. ”What are you talking about, you pauper?”
Zhang Xiaohui said, ”Linlin, don't condescend to argue with them. They are not able to marry anyone, so, they're jealous of us.”
Zhu Linlin snorted and said, ”Your words are just sour grapes. Have a cute baby, if you can!”
Right then, a sweet voice came from the door of the room. ”Papa, here I come.”
