You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 95


    What love rival?


    All they knew were rumors that barely scratched the surface of the real truth. rissa couldn’t be


    bothered rifying back then, but these people had actually remembered that incident, which was out


    of her expectations.


    Helen can’t possibly have called me over because she’s still holding grudge against me, right?


    As rissa mulled over it, one of her ssmates had already pulled her to a table to sit.


    “rissa, you went back to your hometown right after graduating. What do you do now? Why don’t you


    ever talk in our ss group chat? Is our beautiful ssmate too busy pursuing her career?”


    rissa smiled awkwardly but did not offer a definitive answer.


    Her guarded behavior rubbed some people the wrong way and frustrated several others as well.


    One of the female ssmates piped up, “Time really does fly. We’re already at the age to marry. Can


    you believe it? I still remember that rissa was the campus bellest time. Even though she never


    dated in school, many boys couldn’t help but be obsessed with her.


    “Speaking of which, rissa, are you still single? It’s actually better this way. I bet you don’t know this,


    but when Helen announced that you’d be attending her wedding, many of our male ssmates put


    everything aside to rush back, even those who were abroad, and it was all for you, rissa. C’mon, tell


    us, will you give them a chance?”


    The male ssmates immediately perked up. Indeed, many of them hade here hoping to court


    her.


    Everyone’s inquiring gazes fell on rissa. Although she didn’t like how her ssmate had shone the


    spotlight on her private life, she remained cool-headed.


    Under their expectant gazes, she gave a blunt answer. “I already have a boyfriend and we’re very


    close, but I appreciate your concern.”


    Some were stunned, but most were disappointed.


    However, those emotions morphed into curiosity in the end.


    “Oh? I remember we had many outstanding boys in our school back then. Don’t tell me none of them


    managed to move you? Now I’m curious about the man who seeded in capturing your heart. Who is


    he? I think besides a prince, no man can interest you, right?”


    rissa lifted her lips into a nd smile. “No, he’s not a prince or as exaggerated as you made it to be.


    He’s just an ordinary man.”


    “So, you epted an ordinary man? Then, why didn’t you ept our ssmates or seniors back


    then?”


    “I don’t see how it rtes. Naturally, I went with my feelings.”


    “Haha. I find that hard to believe.”


    rissa did not want to refute or defend herself, so the atmosphere turned stale in a matter of


    seconds, causing the others to feel slightly awkward.


    But soon, they turned their attention to the wedding and started discussing it.


    It was said that the wedding photos were taken abroad by a professional team, adding up to millions.


    Some said that apart from being the president of somepanies, Helen’s husband was from the


    upper-ss and had a worth of up to a billion.


    Others said that Helen was gifted a vi worth millions in D City as her marriage settlement, and the


    juicy gossip went on.


    The wedding banquet in this hotel was only held for the sake of the elderlies in their families and there


    would be an official one on an indter on.


    All of these enviable statements were most probably true.


    Solely based on the fact that the wedding was in St. Helix Hotel, it was apparent that Helen’s husband


    had superior standards.


    “I’m so envious of Helen. She’s so lucky. Her life is just perfect.”


    “Perfect? She needs to give them an heir. I heard that her husband is an only child. Helen’s going to


    have so much pressure on her. Marrying into a wealthy family is like venturing into uncharted waters. It


    may seem morous, but who knows what would happen in the future? How many women who marry


    into rich families end up living happily ever after?”


    “Oh c’mon, you’re just jealous. Helen isn’t so bad herself. What matters is that the two of them are


    compatible with each other. This way, even if there’s a gap in status, they’d still be able to live happily.”


    rissa couldn’t help but nod in agreement upon hearing this.


    The difference in wealth wasn’t the real issue. The real issue originated from the two people’s frame of


    mind, values, vision, intellect, and so on.


    rissa stayed silent for a long time and waster on dragged by a few ssmates to go congratte


    the bride.


    In the lounge, they saw a beautiful and somewhat unrecognizable Helen in her wedding gown.


    To be precise, she had probably gone under the knife. However, no one was stupid enough to voice out


    their guesses.


    All of them showered Helen with praises, to which she epted with a courteous smile.


    Finally, Helen met rissa’s eyes. As she took in thetter’s simple style, a dark glint shed across


    her eyes.


    rissa went up to her with a smile. “Congrattions, Helen. I wish you and your husband a long and


    happy life together.”


    “Thank you. It’s been a few years, but it seems like you haven’t changed at all.”


    Her words were rather cryptic.


    Someone next to her chimed in, “Yeah, Helen. Why is rissa dressed so inly? She’s not even


    wearing makeup. Well, perhaps people from small cities aren’t so open-minded. They probably have


    low ies too, so that’s why they don’t spend on such things. But rissa, women shouldn’t live so


    frugally.”


    This was an obvious jab at rissa.


    The person who spoke even looked at Helen, obviously seeking praise from her. “Don’t you agree,


    Helen? Oh, but you probably can’t rte to small city people with low ies. I mean, you’ve always


    been in D City and even married into a wealthy family. Your standard of living surely exceeds ours by a


    wide margin.”


    Helen was very satisfied with what this woman said, ncing at rissa with a smug and triumphant


    smile ying on her lips.


    “Don’t make it sound like rissa is so miserable! She used to be our campus belle! Even if she


    doesn’t have money, there will always be people who’d be willing to spend on her. Isn’t that right,


    rissa?”


    rissa did not show a trace of anger or embarrassment despite being insulted.


    She remained impassive, just like how she was in school during those years.

    “The money I make is enough to support myself. Also, people often say that I look good even without


    makeup.”


    Her reply irked all the women present.


    “Yeah, rissa is already pretty!”


    Helen concealed her discontent and asked with a smile, “Since you’re so pretty, you must have a whole


    line of men waiting to marry you, right? Do you have a boyfriend? What does he do for a living?”


    “She does, she does!”


    That overly enthusiastic ssmate answered on behalf of rissa. “rissa is being all secretive


    about it too, saying that he’s just an ordinary man. Haha… Maybe he really is a very ordinary man


    compared to your husband and she’s too embarrassed to talk about him. Am I right, rissa?”


    rissa felt that it was really a waste of brain cells talking to these people.


    “The wedding’s about to start. I’m going back to my seat first.”


    rissa went back to her seat at the banquet right before the wedding began.


    As the bride and groom went through the ceremony, rissa found it to be quite simr to the novels


    she wrote, but it was indeed a tear-jerking scene.


    During the toasting session, her ssmates engaged in an animated discussion about the people


    seated at the main table who were said to be either bosses in their own right or government officials.


    Hence, her ssmates couldn’t stop marveling at the grandeur of this wedding.


    Halfway through, rissa received a call from Matthew.


    “Is it over yet?”


    The impatience in his voice was apparent.


    rissa walked to a far corner and coaxed him gently, “It’s almost over. I’ll excuse myself after the


    toasting session.”


    “Mm. I’m upstairs. Just wait for me there and I’lle to pick you up.”


    “What? No, don’te here. I’ll meet you at the entrance.”


    rissa wasn’t sure whether Matthew would go along with her suggestion because the line had gone


    dead.


    She stared at her phone and winced helplessly, nning to leave as soon as possible lest Matthew


    really made his way here.


    Right after she returned to her table, Helen walked over with her husband.


    Truth be told, the groom wasn’t all that interested in having a toast with this group of ex-ssmates, but


    since it was Helen’s request, he followed her over, albeit reluctantly.


    “Well, would you look at that? It’s the bride and groom! Wow! What a fine couple. Your husband is so


    handsome, Helen!”


    “Congrattions!”


    “I wish you both a happy marriage!”


    When the groom saw rissa, he was inevitably stunned by her beauty.


    However, it was simply a reaction. This groom knew his limits, averting his gaze to drink with the


    others.


    “Helen, I’m sorry but I have to leave now. I really wish you and your husband a happy marriage. Thank


    you for inviting me…”


    “You’re leaving already? No way, you must stay, rissa. We haven’t seen each other in ages, so this


    is a rare gathering for us!”


    One of them was reluctant to see rissa leave, pulling on her arm to stop her from leaving.


    Wearing a smile on her face, Helen added, “My husband and I will be having an after-partyter.


    Nothing too fancy, just some friends and ex-ssmates. You should stay and catch up with the others.”


    “Thank you, but I really need to leave. My friend is waiting for me outside.”


    “Friend? Is it your boyfriend?”


    Everyone’s curiosity was instantly piqued.


    rissa hurriedly shook her head. “No, no.”


    “Quit denying. That must be it. Did your boyfriende to D City with you? Or is he from D City? Could


    he be working here?”


    “No,” rissa contradicted.


    However, her denial made them all the more curious. Hence, they turned a blind eye to the peeved look


    on rissa’s face and prevented her from leaving.


    Watching the rowdy group of ex-ssmates, the groom still did not fully grasp the situation, but he had


    the inexplicable urge to size her boyfriend up, whoever he was.


    I wonder what kind of man managed to catch this gorgeous woman’s eye.


    As for Helen, she naturally had her own selfish agenda. Because everyone at this table was young


    men and women, their boisterous behavior did not draw too much attention.


    The groom’s friends, who had also noticed rissa’s beauty, came over with their sses in hand,


    wanting to strike up a conversation.


    rissa felt as though she was under siege by all these people and was on the verge of breaking


    down.


    While panicking, her phone rang and she hurriedly answered it. Immediately after, someone beside her


    yelled into the phone, “Are you rissa’s boyfriend? rissa’s drunk. You should quicklye to pick


    her up from the wedding.”


    “Yeah, yeah! Quicklye pick her up!”


    There was nothing rissa could do to stop them from hollering. Before she could speak into the


    phone, it was snatched away by someone.


    Anger and frustrations surged in her, but it did nothing to deter them.


    Helen watched by the side with a subtle smirk on her lips.


    She wanted to see rissa’s mask of indifference slip from her face and witness her being humiliated.


    It did not matter how far these people went because to her, this was the karma rissa deserved.
