Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Beautiful and Elegant
Han Xuewei seemed to have read Lin Yi's mind, and with a faint smile, she took the dress from his hands and said, "I didn't expect you to be so petty!"
Lin Yi, upon hearing this, looked at Han Xuewei and leaned down to kiss her, saying, "I'm indeed petty!"
Han Xuewei's face turned red, and she immediately pushed Lin Yi away, "Alright, stop fooling around, we're really going to be late."
When Han Xuewei was in college, she was an exemplary student, so under these circumstances, she definitely wouldn't be late and would not have any issues.
But today, because of Lin Yi's playing around, they ended up being several minutes later than usual.
However, Lin Yi was comforting her on the side, not caring much about the gathering, while Han Xuewei was somewhat nervous, as she rarely attended such events.
Lin Yi drove the car and, arriving a few minutes late, they reached the entrance of Jinguo Hotel.
In fact, Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun were not that punctual either, arriving just a minute or two before Lin Yi and Han Xuewei. They parked their car right at the hotel entrance and got out together.
Hand in hand, they walked towards the entrance of the hotel, but just as they were about to step inside, they heard a series of exclamations from outside.
Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also showed looks of surprise, turning their heads only to see another car still parked at the hotel entrance.
Sitting inside that car were Lin Yi and Han Xuewei.

At that moment, Han Xuewei looked up and saw Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun, realizing she actually wasn't late at all, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She got out of the car from the passenger side and said, "Honey, I'll wait for you here, go park the car!"
Lin Yi looked around and found a parking spot right there, which was also convenient for getting out.
So, without hesitation, he intended to park right there, but the security guards nearby wore looks of astonishment, and both exclaimed simultaneously, "That's a Mercedes Benz worth several million. That's not just any car."
"Exactly, hurry and tell that rich guy not to park there! If it gets scratched by another car, both of us are going to end up jobless!"
The security guard, in a rush, said this and ran over.
One guard, speaking hastily into a walkie-talkie, pointed at Lin Yi and said, "Sir, please park your car over by the entrance. There are too many cars here, and I'm worried yours could get damaged!"
Lin Yi had initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the man's worried expression, he realized the psychological pressure his car might be causing him.
Not wishing to cause any trouble, Lin Yi obediently drove towards the indicated spot.
The security guard finally sighed in relief; if the car were to get scratched, he wouldn't earn enough in his lifetime to pay for that paint job.
Meanwhile, Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also displayed looks of surprise, watching the scene unfold incredulously.
However, Shen Wenjun quickly diverted her gaze back to Han Xuewei, who was waiting for Lin Yi.
Han Xuewei had her hair deliberately let down today, adorned with a delicate hair clip. She was wearing a very soft casual outfit and looked gentle and elegant—a virtuous wife and good mother, beautiful and poised.
When she turned her head and saw Li Lanxue, whose features clearly showed signs of cosmetic refinement, she felt a vast disparity and showed a look of disappointment.
At that moment, Li Lanxue also noticed Shen Wenjun's gaze, lifted her head, and upon seeing Shen Wenjun's disappointed expression, she immediately frowned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"
Li Lanxue said, having applied a particularly exquisite makeup for today, her goal was to dazzle everyone in attendance.
At that moment, Shen Wenjun immediately turned his head, his eyes brimming with disappointment. If only he had tried harder back then, he might truly have won the heart of Han Xuewei.
His family's financial condition wasn't bad. If only he had put in more effort, he could certainly have gained Han Xuewei's admiration.
Moreover, Han Xuewei's family background was indeed very impressive. He had previously thought Han Xuewei came from a comfortable, middle-class family. But when he saw on the school forum that Han Xuewei provided Lin Yi with an expensive Mercedes-Benz as part of her dowry, he was utterly shocked.
After learning this, many guys at school also realized Han Xuewei was the epitome of a proper "rich and beautiful" lady, completely out of reach for someone from an ordinary family.
Lin Yi had already parked the car and was walking toward Han Xuewei.
Today, Lin Yi was dressed in very casual attire. She was tall and fair-skinned, which complemented the clothes perfectly.
And that handsome face of hers, paired with the clothing, made her look extremely elegant. On closer inspection, she was much better looking than Shen Wenjun.
At that point, Shen Wenjun also noticed Lin Yi's elegance and his expression turned to one of amazement.
He, in fact, often compared himself to Lin Yi in secret, although Lin Yi's regular attire was quite casual.
Just like today, Lin Yi's style was still very relaxed, but her natural good looks and height already put her a cut above him.
At this moment, Li Lanxue was also slightly shocked. Lin Yi, when properly dressed, had her attractiveness soar, "zoom, zoom, zoom," skyrocketing upward. In the end, it was all thanks to her good genes.
Shen Wenjun, on the other hand, needed a good outfit to elevate his entire aura, and in this respect, he was streets behind Lin Yi.
Li Lanxue looked at Lin Yi, then shifted her gaze to Han Xuewei.
Han Xuewei was wearing a casual long dress today that made her look gentle and elegant. Although pretty, it didn't seem as luxurious as her own outfit.
She, on the other hand, was wearing a high-end dress, purposely tight around the chest and studded with many diamonds, sparkling as she walked down the street.
Today was the class reunion she had specially organized, so she would not allow anyone to outshine her.
What Li Lanxue didn't know at the time was that Shen Wenjun didn't find her dress flattering at all.
Especially her intentionally tightened waist and snug chest. Given that Li Lanxue's bust was average at best, and her cinching to create curves in the middle, it didn't look beautiful, instead it seemed particularly forced.
But at this moment, Li Lanxue was unaware of her lack of self-awareness. She felt she looked stunning and walked straight over to Han Xuewei.
With a contemptuous expression, she opened her mouth and said, "Han Xuewei, you hesitated so much when you were invited today, I thought you wouldn't come."
Li Lanxue said this, her gaze fixed on Han Xuewei.
Han Xuewei immediately frowned. She knew Li Lanxue, and it seemed she was here to provoke her again, though her demeanor remained indifferent.
Li Lanxue, while puffing out her chest, noticed that although Han Xuewei was also dressed in a long gown, not having deliberately cinched her waist, the drapes of her skirt still effortlessly outlined Han Xuewei's figure and proud chest.
This alone was something she could not achieve!
At that moment, Li Lanxue was clutching an exquisite handbag, her nails digging into the real leather.
