The two were chatting about leaving, when a voice behind them said, “Young Master Li?”
Kang Xing Luo and Li Hongming turned their heads at the same time, and a short man walked slowly towards them from not far away.
This man looked rather ordinary, but he was covered in famous brands. He looked at Li Hongming with a smile on his face.
Li Hongming glanced at Kang Xing Luo in a conditioned reflex, with a few big characters written in his eyes: Who is this person?
Kang Xing Luo also looked at the man, vaguely finding him a little familiar, but was not particularly impressed.
Li Hongming said, “Who are you?”
The short man smiled for a while, and then continued to laugh: “You are so forgetful, it’s me, Jiang Li.”
Jiang Li, Jiang Li…
Who was Jiang Li?
This name was reported, and there was no recognition.
Li Hongming still couldn’t remember it, and Kang Xing Luo’s mind flickered, thinking of this person.
He was one of his and Lao Li’s college classmates and was even in the same class.
They didn’t know each other very well when they were in college, and they had never seen him since graduation. Now that he had met him, Kang Xing Luo took a closer look at Jiang Li’s outline, and he could vaguely match the person in his memory.
However, the change in this person was indeed a little big, no wonder Li Hongming couldn’t recognize him, and Kang Xing Luo was a little afraid to recognize it.
In Kang Xing Luo’s impression, Jiang Li seemed to have always been walking at the back of the boys in the class. He was a bit fat, didn’t talk actively, and didn’t smile as deliberately as he did now.
Li Hongming didn’t even recognize a mother who had been a beauty he had pursued when he was a scumbag, let alone a classmate who had never shown him his face.
He looked at Jiang Li several times, but still couldn’t remember. Kang Xing Luo coughed lightly and reminded: “University classmate, from the next dormitory.”
Classmates, oh – Li Hongming pulled a smile to say hello. “It’s a coincidence.”
“Yeah, it’s a coincidence. We haven’t seen each other for more than two years after graduation. I didn’t expect to meet you here… have you come to buy a car?”
It wasn’t that Li Hongming looked down on him and didn’t want to take care of him, but this man’s eyes were full of a disgusting scrutiny.
It’s just that, what made Li Hongming even more unhappy was his attitude towards Doofus.
Since he was his classmate, he was naturally also Kang Xing Luo’s classmate. It could be seen that after so long, this person only talked to him, and had no intention of paying attention to Kang Xing Luo.
The smell of contempt was obvious enough.
Maintaining the appearance of reuniting with classmate on the surface, Li Hongming didn’t show a cold face on the spot, but he was too lazy to talk to him, “I don’t want to buy a car, I’m just accompanying Xing Luo around.”
He didn’t know if he felt Li Hongming’s indifference, but Jiang Li said with a smile “That’s right, Young Master Li doesn’t need to come in person when he buys a car. If you want, you can send someone to mention it.”
After speaking, he turned his attention to Kang Xing Luo, as if he had just seen Kang Xing Luo. “Huh, Xing Luo? I didn’t even recognize you.”
This sounded like a joke, it was normal to say that Li Hongming had changed, but it was pure nonsense to say that Kang Xing Luo had changed.
Xing Luo had a car accident and slept for two years in the middle. The appearance and temperament because of the maintenance in the hospital had not changed from before, how could he not recognize him.
Kang Xing Luo didn’t care, smiled and said, “Well, long time no see.”
Kang Xing Luo was gentle and kind. This smile fell in Jiang Li’s eyes, but it was not at all kind, but rather dazzling.
There was no factor, just seeing Kang Xing Luo, made him feel very unpleasant.
Kang Xing Luo didn’t seem to have changed much. Although he had left the university, his face was still handsome and beautiful, and it was especially easy to make people feel good when he smiled.
That’s it, Jiang Li felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
Jiang Li was very clear about his own conditions. How many people evaluated him negatively because he was not good-looking. He was not good-looking, and there were many good-looking people in the world. He couldn’t be jealous of them even if he wanted to be jealous.
But when it came to Kang Xing Luo, he just couldn’t bear it.
When he was in college, Jiang Li once felt that Kang Xing Luo had a very similar personality to him. Kang Xing Luo was just like him. His family conditions were not good. While he was studying in the university, he was also working to earn some pocket money.
Having these commonalities, Jiang Li once always distinguished Kang Xing Luo from others.
But gradually, the differences between Kang Xing Luo and him became apparent. The same poverty, the same isolation, but he was looked down upon and hated by others, while Kang Xing Luo was very popular, even the famous rich man in the school, the second-generation Li Hongming was very cordial to him.
He groveled and survived four years of college with those bullshit classmates, but Kang Xing Luo and Li Hongming were friends for four years.
Why?
Just because Kang Xing Luo was beautiful, and it was easy to be liked because of his smile?
In the past two years after graduation, his college classmates who looked down on him in the past were busy in positions with monthly salary of several thousand, rushing around every day for food expenses, but he had succeeded in business by his own ability and talent, and had become the most successful among his classmates.
After several years of suffocation, he raised his eyebrows and exhaled, now Jiang Li’s back was straight, and the strong jealousy that had been in his heart since college slowly disappeared, but seeing Kang Xing Luo and Li Hongming today, that kind of feeling suddenly came out again.
He really wanted to stand on a high place and look down on Kang Xing Luo, just like those other people had looked down on him.
But in the end, it was taboo with Li Hongming, a ‘rich second generation’ with a strong family background. Jiang Li did not dare to be too obvious. He looked at Kang Xing Luo up and down and saw that Kang Xing Luo’s clothes were simple and clean. It was not a domestic famous brand. He was not rich, and he must only by relying on Li Hongming and that was why he dared to walk in this luxury car area.
Jiang Li said politely, “Xing Luo is here to buy a car, did you see the car behind you?”
Kang Xing Luo seemed to be unable to see the contempt in Jiang Li’s eyes, and smiled, “Why, don’t listen to Lao Li’s nonsense, I can’t afford it.”
Li Hongming frowned, “Doofus…”
Kang Xing Luo smiled indifferently.
Jiang Li couldn’t see what they were communicating with their eyes, but he was even more sure of Kang Xing Luo’s poor status. He asked, “What is Xing Luo doing now?”
Kang Xing Luo said, “Open a small shop.”
Small shop? Sure enough, it was a poor ghost, a small shop could only make a little money.
Jiang Li: “Well, where is it? I’ll take a look at it someday and give you a cheer.”
Kang Xing Luo didn’t care much for this old school old-fashioned routine, he simply said: “Don’t be so troublesome, I sell some snacks in the central square, what’s the use of you coming and cheering. It’s you, in whom the change is quite big.”
Jiang Li said proudly, “I do a small business, I just didn’t lose money.” With a smile, he suddenly woke up and said: “Central Square? The storefronts on the Central Square are quite expensive, and the location is very selective. Most people should not be able to rent it…”
Kang Xing Luo smiled and said: “I can’t rent it myself, thanks to Lao Li’s help.”
Jiang Li stabilized his heart, and at the same time, there was some unspeakable displeasure in his heart, yes, no matter how talentless he was, he could still live with the help of the rich second generation Li Hongming.
He was just like a parasite.
