Chapter 618 - 619: Usury
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "When two people are together, material things are important, but they are not the only necessary condition. It’s fine as long as life is decent. Having the process of striving together and then building your own little home together gives a very happy feeling. Rich people have their own way of living, and ordinary people have theirs. There’s no need to deliberately pursue the lifestyle of the rich; it’s too exhausting."
Wei Yansong curled his lip and said, "I really don’t know whether to say you’re not ambitious or you’re just sweet-talking."
Song Xiaodong smiled again and said, "You are all Xuanxuan’s classmates, so you should understand her. She’s not a materialistic girl. If you measure Xuanxuan’s happiness by material standards, you’ve already fallen into a trap from the start."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they actually felt that Song Xiaodong made sense. Back in college, many wealthy classmates tried to use their means to pursue Miao Xuanxuan, but in the end, they all ended up sorry-looking.
Wei Yansong wanted to retort, but felt that saying more would make him seem money-grubbing, so he grudgingly smiled and said, "It seems everyone has their own aspirations; I’ll say no more."
However, he thought to himself that if they ever went to Tiannan, he would indeed show them what the lifestyle of the rich was like.
He didn’t believe that Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan didn’t long for the lifestyle of the rich. What they were saying now sounded nice, but at the end of the day, it was just because they weren’t in that position and needed to comfort themselves.
Today, as they were entertaining classmates, after a while, the food and drinks were served, and Miao Xuanxuan also pulled Song Xiaodong to sit at a table with her university roommates. There wasn’t only Song Xiaodong as a sole male at this table; there were also other girls who had brought their boyfriends.
The group chatted about fun stories from their school days and teased each other occasionally, creating a rather harmonious atmosphere.
"Why hasn’t Sun Ya arrived yet? Isn’t she in Hua Qing?" Miao Xuanxuan asked after they had eaten for a while.
