Chapter 41 I'm Just the Ex-Boyfriend



If Zhang Menglong had not come today, then such a person would pose no threat to him, and he could just let it go as if it were nothing.

But if he had come, he felt confident that he could crush him at the wedding today, showing him what it would take to make Xie Siqi happy, and even rob him of the courage to recall this past from now on.

However, Zhang Menglong\'s appearance caught Xie Siqi slightly off guard, and for a moment she didn\'t even know what to say to him.

"Oh, I\'m a man of my word. I once said that no matter who gets married, we must attend. I\'m just here to keep my promise," Zhang Menglong said with a calm and somewhat unbelievable look.

"But why did you have to rent a car specifically? Is face that important to you?" Xie Siqi thought Zhang Menglong\'s remarks were a jab at her disloyalty, "Even renting a car must cost a good amount of money, right? You didn\'t take out some kind of private loans, did you?"

"I\'ve heard that the interest on those loans is calculated by the day. You better return the car soon. If you\'re tight on money, we can help you a bit – this small amount of money is still something I can afford for Siqi," Liu Qingsu echoed.

"Rent?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "Then you can just think of it as rented."

Zhang Menglong had no intention of explaining. Wasn\'t Xie Siqi\'s departure due to finding someone who could offer her a better material life? Since she had already tagged him as a poor kid, no matter how much he explained, it would be pointless.

"Anyway, today is your wedding day. I wish you a happy marriage." Zhang Menglong handed over a red envelope that contained not a single dollar, just a bank card."

"Looks like Brother Zhang came prepared today," Liu Qingsu laughed. Today\'s event was filled with businesspeople and their descendants, besides some classmates. Under such circumstances, any gift less than a five-digit sum would be embarrassing.

Here, either incredulously thick red envelopes appeared or bank cards.

Zhang Menglong\'s financial circumstances were well known to Xie Siqi; while he was studying, he lived on a mere 2000 per month from an average salaried family, and he hadn\'t found a job yet, so saving a few thousand in living expenses was the most he could do – this bank card was probably just to mask his insecurity.

"Can\'t be too rude," Zhang Menglong laughed.

"Brother Zhang wouldn\'t mind if we check the amount on this bank card, right?" Liu Qingsu pointed to a gift money station nearby. Unfamiliar guests would leave their gift money there and write down the amount and their names.

"Please do," Zhang Menglong knew they were trying to embarrass him in every possible way, but the number on this bank card would surely astound them.

Is this money worth it?

Of course not. Zhang Menglong felt even donating to beggars would be more worthwhile than giving it to them, but he had ways to get this money back.

"Jia Jia, help me check the amount on this card."

"Sure." As part of the bridesmaid group, they all received rather generous tokens today, and of course, they also had the task of serving the bride and groom.

Wang Yujia took the bank card with an awkward look at Zhang Menglong. Morally, she sympathized with Zhang Menglong\'s ordeal, but emotionally, she had to side with Xie Siqi, so her interaction with Zhang Menglong was somewhat uncomfortable.

"13.14 million?" When she checked the balance on the card, she was stunned on the spot.

"What\'s wrong, Jia Jia?" Xie Siqi felt secretly pleased, thinking her guess that the bank card had a few thousand was too high for Zhang Menglong.

Indeed, renting such a luxury car for a day costs several thousand, and he probably had spent nearly all his money by now.

"This card has over ten million!" Wang Yujia confirmed again.

"Over ten million? Are you sure you didn\'t see it wrong?" A bank employee and some equipment were present at the wedding scene; Xie Siqi immediately crowded in front of the device.

"How is this possible? Impossible! This can\'t be!" Xie Siqi shook her head repeatedly. How could Zhang Menglong possibly have so much money?

"Are you done checking? Then I guess I can take my seat now?" Zhang Menglong revealed a cultured smile and then walked into the venue.

"He\'s been lying to me all along!" Xie Siqi didn\'t know what came over her, her head suddenly throbbing, "Zhang Menglong, you lied to me!"

"What did I lie to you about?" Zhang Menglong turned around and asked.

"So you\'ve been pretending to be ordinary all along, what\'s the meaning of this? Testing me?" Xie Siqi yelled hysterically, even attracting quite a few glances.

"Testing you?" Zhang Menglong revealed a mocking smile, "Do you deserve it? Believe it or not, I really was just the poor boy you thought I was. It\'s just that my parents always kept it from me, I only guessed and found out just now that my family is really rich."

Zhang Menglong spread his hands with an expression that said "blame me, huh?"Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"President Zhang! I didn\'t expect to see you here!" Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.

"Xu Feng?" Zhang Menglong recognized the man who greeted him at a glance; it was the marketing director from Unicorn Technology they met at Lofitte Hotel on the last day of National Day, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I have some business cooperation with the groom\'s father and received an invitation today, so I came to show him some face," Xu Feng said. "I heard the bride is also a recent graduate from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology; are you friends with her?"

"Friends? Not really," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "I\'m just an ex-boyfriend."

"What?" Xu Feng\'s expression turned to one of disbelief. The bride chose not to marry the CEO of a company worth billions of US dollars but instead married the young owner of a company with merely a billion in assets?

Although, compared to ordinary people, it\'s still like climbing high on the branch to become a phoenix, but there are differences amongst phoenixes too.

"She really has no taste!" Xu Feng pursed his lips, "But President Zhang, it\'s quite rare for you to come back for your ex-girlfriend\'s wedding."

"Someone wanted to slap me in the face, wouldn\'t my absence disappoint them?" Zhang Menglong replied.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xu Feng\'s expression suddenly changed. It looked like there was quite a story behind this. Although he didn\'t know the details, he could see that Zhang Menglong was quite hostile towards the bride and groom.

"I\'ll go in first." Zhang Menglong waved his hand and went straight into the venue.

"Alright, I\'ll look for you later."

...

"Mr. Xu, you know Zhang Menglong?" Liu Qingsu had been watching them from the side for quite some time now.

This Mr. Xu was no ordinary person; at thirty-five, he became the regional director for a billion-dollar company. Even his father had to flatter him, and he had gone to great lengths to secure this collaboration.

Seeing how humble Xu Feng was during their conversation made him somewhat anxious.

"President Zhang is our chairman at Unicorn Technology." The people Zhang Menglong resented, how could Xu Feng show a friendly face? He left some gift money and walked in, showing no desire to chat.

"What? Zhang Menglong is the chairman of Unicorn Technology?" This news burst like a bomb, stunning everyone.
