Ella’s words came as a surprise to all her classmates.
After all, nobody knew that Janet was married "15 it true, Janet? Are you really married? Why didn’t you tell us?"
"When did you hold the wedding? You didn’t invite any of us..."
Janet shot Ella a cryptic glance then smiled embarrassedly, "I got married in a hurry and we just went to the church, 50 I wasn’t
able to invite you guys."
As she spoke, it finally dawned on Janet that Ella had organized this class reunion for a reason to show off that she had married
a rich man. When she first received Ella’s enthusiastic invitation, Janet thought that meant that all Ella’s previous resentment
towards her was gone.
Little did she know that Ella was just looking for an excuse to show off her superiority.
"Where’s your husband now? It looks like you’re not having a good time, Janet."
Ella tittered, her slender legs Crossed Janet looked at Ella’s black silk stockings and designer-brand red dress.
The Ella she had known was different now.
She locked eyes with Ella calmly and said, "Oh, I’m quite happy."
Resting her chin on her hand, Ella stared at Janet’s side profile and asked pointedly, "What does your husband do for a living?"
Janet instantly knew what Ella was trying to do and had to resist the urge to roll her eyes.
"My husband works a part-time job," she said calmly.
Hearing this, Ella’s eyes lit up in an instant.
It took her great effort to restrain the complacent smile on her face.
Reaching for Janet’s hand, she feigned a look of concern.
"Then your life must be really difficult now, right? Oh, Janet, you are so beautiful and you used to get such good grades in
college.Why would you settle for such a man?"
Ella’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard her clearly.
Janet sipped from her glass of water and shrugged nonchalantly: "My husband treats me well."
As she spoke, her expression softened as though she was thinking about something happy, and she couldn’t help but smile
contentedly. The complacent smile on Ella’s face froze.
She thought she must be mistaken.
The man that Janet married was far worse than hers. How could Janet show such a happy smile?
"In my opinion, marrying a man with a good financial background is best. Money helps us get over ninety-nine percent of marital
troubles.It’s better to be a wealthy housewife than to toil all day long at work."
Ella spoke with fervor and assurance like a wise sage Many of her classmates echoed her sentiments.
"Janet, you’re a beautiful young woman.Why did you get married so Early? You should’ve spent more time looking for
options.There’s plenty of fish in the sea."
"Janet was indeed a little dull when she was a student.I didn’t expect that she would still be like this after graduation."
Janet shook her head firmly.
"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my marriage."
Ella covered her mouth and pretended to be apologetic.
"Sorry! We didn’t mean to offend you.We just wanted to tell you how important it is to marry a man who can provide for his
family."
She paused for a few seconds and looked Janet up and down with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Otherwise, you’ll be forced to wear only cheap clothes to class reunions."
