“Oh, Mercedes??”
Vivian suddenly remembered that Lara had just said her brother-in-law drove a Mercedes.
Just as she was lost in thought, the driver’s door of the Benz GLS Class opened, and a tall man stepped out.
“Vivian, long time no see.”
Jacob had met Vivian before, once when Lara started her freshman year and another time when Jacob came to school to deliver something for Lara.
However, that delivery was two years ago, but since Lara often mentioned this friend, Jacob had a relatively deep impression of her.
“Brother-in-law, I’m so sorry to trouble you so late!”
Vivian quickly responded, also calling him brother-in-law along with Lara.
“It’s nothing, just a small matter.”
Jacob waved his hand and added, “But let’s change how you address me; just call me Jacob.”
“Okay, Uncle Jacob!”
Vivian automatically added an “Uncle” in front of Jacob, feeling it made it more intimate.
At that moment, Macy pushed open the rear car door and jumped out, running in front of Lara with a big smile, saying, “Auntie, I’m here to pick you up too!”
Lara put down her luggage and affectionately patted the little girl’s head.
Jacob opened the trunk of the Benz GLS Class and stuffed the three suitcases and a woven bag that the two girls had brought down inside, leaving some extra space.
“Can I go into the girls’ dormitory?”
Jacob wanted to help the two carry their luggage.
“You can’t go in.”
“Uncle Jacob, we can carry it ourselves; there really isn’t much left,” Vivian replied cheerfully.
“Brother-in-law, you just wait for us here,” Lara said as well.
Jacob nodded, “Alright, no rush; take your time.”
The two girls returned to the dormitory.
Once they were out of Jacob’s sight, Vivian excitedly said, “Lara, your brother-in-law has really made it big!”
“Last time, he gave you a Prada handbag, and now he’s driving a million-dollar luxury car!”
“And your brother-in-law is quite handsome, too; he’s like the perfect uncle from a TV drama!”
“Is that car really over a million?”
Lara was still a bit dazed. Last time when Jacob gave her the Prada handbag, he mentioned making money with friends in business, but it hadn’t been long since then, and he had already bought a million-dollar luxury car, which was hard to believe.
“It really costs over a million; if you don’t believe me, you can check online!”
“By the way, Lara, your sister probably doesn’t know your brother-in-law has made it big yet; otherwise, she would definitely regret it!”
Vivian said with a hint of gossip.
Lara didn’t respond. She hadn’t been in touch with her sister for over a month. During that time, Karen had sent her a message, but she hadn’t replied.
And knowing her sister, she would definitely regret it, especially since the divorce was because her brother-in-law had fallen on hard times.
“But it’ll be hard for your sister to turn back now!”
“If I were Uncle Jacob, I definitely wouldn’t take her back!”
Vivian sighed, then looked at her graceful friend, full of youthful vitality, and said excitedly, “Lara, but you can!”
“After all, it was quite common for sisters to marry the same husband in ancient times!”
“This long-standing cultural tradition can continue to be carried forward~!”
“Hey, hey, Lara, don’t hit me!”
“Stop it; I was just joking, okay?”
The two girls returned to the dormitory, laughing and joking.
However, there was an additional girl in the dormitory who looked quiet and gentle. Her name was Jessica, and she was also their roommate.
Unlike the two, who had already started working, she had taken the graduate entrance exam last December and was currently waiting for the results. But she had always been a top student, so her grades wouldn’t be bad; it just depended on whether she could get into her dream school, YanKgg University.
“Lara, Vivian, are you leaving the dorm now?”
Jessica noticed that both of her roommates had packed their bags and that the wardrobe was empty when she returned from the library.
“Yeah, we were supposed to move tomorrow, but there was a last-minute change,” Vivian replied.
“Oh, let me help you move.”
Jessica was the kind of person who didn’t talk much on a daily basis. Her relationship with her roommates wasn’t particularly close, but after four years, there had been no conflicts, making her the type of person who would likely fade into the crowd after graduation.
In fact, for most people, once they fully enter society, they often keep in touch with more high school classmates than college ones. This is because high school classmates are usually from the same area, so even without special connections, they might run into each other occasionally.
But college classmates are different; people in a class come from all over the country, and many may never see each other again after graduation.
Of course, whether high school or college, the number of classmates who maintain contact over time usually dwindles to just two or three, or even none at all.
