Chapter 175 Friends Chat



Chapter 175 Friends Chat

A farce that ended in a whimper.

The few who had been shouting the loudest just now were too embarrassed to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Only some people from the same major were left around Gu Mingyue.

They both admired and were curious about Gu Mingyue.

Xu Xiwen excitedly gave a thumbs up, "You are the one who can debate with the scholars."

When there are outsiders around, Gu Mingyue usually keeps a low profile and pretends to reply, "I don't deserve it. It's mainly because those people still have some shame."

Xu Xiwen had long seen through the other party's arrogant nature and didn't want to bother with her.

Crouching down, he asked in a low voice, "Little Stone, do you still remember me?"

"Remember. Hello, auntie. Give me some candy."

Xu Xiwen picked up the little guy curiously and said, "Oh, you have a good memory. Auntie will bring you something delicious in a while. Why do you look much thinner? Is it because Auntie doesn't give you food?"

"No, no, my aunt said that I have grown taller." Whenever his aunt is involved, Xiao Shitou will always be the first to defend her.

Seeing his cute appearance, Xu Xiwen liked him very much and became more jealous of Gu Mingyue. She secretly glared at her and said, "I am so lucky to meet such an obedient little Shitou."

Gu Mingyue deliberately angered her, "Alas, there is nothing I can do, I am lucky, some people can't envy me!"

Lu Xue had no choice but to interrupt the two bickering elementary school kids and said, "There are so many people here, be careful."

At this time, a former classmate couldn't help asking:

"Mingyue, what are you doing now?"

"Mingyue, is this your brother?"

"Mingyue, why are you becoming more and more beautiful?"

You can tell they're just asking in a friendly way.

Gu Mingyue answered each question she could.

Someone suggested, "Squad leader, how about we go out for dinner?"

When he saw Gu Mingyue again, Su Zilong, who had already let go of his secret love for her, couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart.

Especially when he found that she seemed to become more dazzling, his heart began to beat uncontrollably again. He understood that some people really cannot be forgotten just because you want to.

But he also understood that the two of them were impossible.

Without talking about the family and urban-rural differences between the two, just the point of marrying a son-in-law means that they are destined to be two parallel lines with no intersection.

Because he knew all this, Su Zilong deliberately suppressed his emotions and said calmly, "I think you should ask Mingyue about this question to see if she has time."

"I'm sorry, I came here on a whim this time, so I probably won't be able to stay long and may not be able to spare the time. But I brought a camera with me, so if you don't mind, how about we take a photo together?"

Compared to eating, taking pictures is of course more exciting.

Gu Mingyue noticed Su Zilong's intermittent gaze, and also noticed that when taking the photo, he deliberately moved behind her.

The other person was much calmer than I had imagined, and was completely worthy of the description: gentle as jade.

Because of his thoughtful and tactful approach, I heard that he was recently transferred to the municipal government for an internship. With such conditions, he can be said to be at the level of a "diamond bachelor".

What a pity, the King Xiang had a dream, but the goddess had no intention.

Gu Mingyue sighed narcissistically, alas, her damn charm.

But he remained expressionless, taking pictures and chatting and laughing as needed.

After all, we were not very familiar with each other, so after chatting for a while, everyone separated and went to class.

Xu Xiwen and Lu Xue took the opportunity to ask for leave from the class monitor, and then walked out with Gu Mingyue.

We first found a western restaurant and ordered some food, then we finally had time to sit down and have a good chat.

"Did Zhanwang come to see you again later?" Gu Mingyue asked.

Lu Xue nodded. "He has been here. I unilaterally cut off contact with him, so he was naturally anxious. When he was anxious, he said the wrong thing, and I figured out his purpose."

Gu Mingyue subconsciously asked, "What's the purpose?"

Lu Xue rarely showed disgust. "That man has been promoted and made a fortune recently. He is very proud of himself and keeps talking about taking me back home to recognize my ancestors. His later wife was afraid that I, the daughter of his ex-wife, would go back to fight for the family property, so she came up with a dirty trick. She found Zhan Wang, who was about to be transferred to a remote place due to a mistake at work, and used some means to transfer him to Harbin. The purpose was to let him get close to me and prevent me from returning to Beijing."

Xu Xiwen also knew about Lu Xue's situation, and couldn't help asking, "But didn't Zhanwang always persuade you to go back to Beijing with him?"

Gu Mingyue sneered, "Everyone has their own agenda."

"That's right. One is afraid that I will go back to fight for her favor, and the other is afraid that I won't go back to fight for her favor. That woman wants to use Zhanwang to stop me, while Zhanwang wants to step on me to rise to the top."

Gu Mingyue comforted him, "You should be thankful that the woman only knows how to use such despicable means. She relied on men to get to the top, so she only thought of using men to drag you down. If she had used other methods, such as framing you, it might have been hard to guard against."

"No." Lu Xue shook her head and said with emotion, "I should be thankful that I have you by my side. It allowed me to stop the loss in time and turn back. Otherwise, the past time alone would bind me for the rest of my life. The consequences make my scalp numb just thinking about it."

Gu Mingyue was puzzled. "That's not right. Since Zhanwang sees you as a path to heaven, how could he give up so easily?"

"I told him clearly that I would never return to Beijing. Many years ago, I severed my relationship with that man and would not contact him again. If he told me even a lie, I would never get married."

Speaking of this, Lu Xue couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Xiwen, who was standing next to her, became angry. She explained to Gu Mingyue in the face of her curiosity, "Zhanwang gave up on her, but came after me. He sends me flowers and gifts every day. It's so annoying."

"Pfft..." The two couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It’s one thing to laugh at, but it’s also one to remind.

Gu Mingyue said directly, "There is a man in our area who used this method to find a partner and succeeded. He would always give gifts in front of many people. If the girl refused or rejected them, he would put on a hurt or aggrieved expression. Over time, others would naturally think that the girl was ungrateful. They would not remember that the girl did not accept any gifts. They would only think that the girl was pretending and that they did not know how many gifts she had received in private, otherwise why would she persist. Not only that, but everyone also advised the girl not to be too picky and to settle for something good. In this way, the girl, an only child, was taken advantage of by the man."

Xu Xiwen and Lu Xue were shocked. "Isn't this just playing rogue?"

"Yeah, so what?! A man shamelessly claims that he is doing it for love. Whether he is just watching the fun or simply can't stand seeing others do well, there are still many people who support him. This may be what they call "gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person."

Both of them felt a chill, especially Xu Xiwen, who said depressedly, "I guess the reason why Zhanwang doesn't dare to be too blatant is because he is afraid of my father, but he really wants to get close to my father, so he will definitely make some moves soon, and it is not ruled out that he will make the above moves."

Lu Xue felt a little guilty, "It's all my fault."

Xu Xiwen waved her hand and said, "How can I blame you? Even if you weren't here, I think I would have met someone like Zhanwang when we graduate and discuss marriage. It's just that it's ahead of schedule now."

Lu Xue asked anxiously, "What should we do then?"
