"Where are you going?" Wei Haoguang asked.
Wu Yanyun replied, "I saw an acquaintance, I’m going over to say hi."
"Okay."
Wu Yanyun walked up to Du Jiaojiao and greeted her with a smile, "Sister Jiaojiao."
Because of the last time Wu Yanyun bad-mouthed Ni Yang in front of her, Du Jiaojiao no longer had a good impression of her.
Only petty people gossip.
Ni Yang had never said a bad word about herself in front of her.
"Mm." Du Jiaojiao responded indifferently with a nod.
Wu Yanyun wasn’t a fool; she clearly felt Du Jiaojiao’s cold demeanor.
Du Jiaojiao wasn’t like this before.
She hadn’t offended Du Jiaojiao.
Why had Du Jiaojiao become like this?
It must be Ni Yang.
What exactly had Ni Yang bad-mouthed about her to Du Jiaojiao?
On what grounds did she tarnish her reputation to Du Jiaojiao?
"Sister Jiaojiao, is there some misunderstanding between us?" Wu Yanyun continued to ask.
"No, there isn’t," said Du Jiaojiao.
Wu Yanyun sighed, "Then, it must be Ni Yang who’s been talking about me behind my back, right?"
Du Jiaojiao shook her head, "No, Yangyang isn’t that kind of person who gossips behind people’s backs, you’re overthinking it."
As she finished speaking, Du Jiaojiao added, "The one who really gossips behind others’ backs is you."
Boom!
It felt like a thunderbolt had struck Wu Yanyun’s mind.
She looked at Du Jiaojiao incredulously, her face turning pale.
How could this be?
Why did everyone take Ni Yang’s side?
Why?
After a long while, Wu Yanyun came back to her senses and stammered, "Sister Jiaojiao, you’ve misunderstood..."
Du Jiaojiao looked at Wu Yanyun and said, "You should learn the meaning of contentment. As an outsider, I think Yangyang has already been good enough to you."
As an outsider, Du Jiaojiao didn’t wish to see Wu Yanyun sink deeper.
The original Wu Yanyun was a very naive young woman; the human heart is indeed too complex.
But in the blink of an eye, Wu Yanyun had become what she was now.
"Sister Jiaojiao, you don’t know, you don’t understand," Wu Yanyun continued, "I am Ni Yang’s biological sister, discarded by their family for their preference for sons over daughters..."
Du Jiaojiao frowned slightly, "But you must understand, it wasn’t Yangyang who discarded you. As an elder sister, she repeatedly reached out to help you, and she owes you nothing."
"You should be grateful that you have such a good sister, rather than holding any resentment."
"It’s Ni Yang who wronged me, Sister Jiaojiao, listen to me, it really isn’t like what Ni Yang has told you..." Just then, Wu Yanyun caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
It was Ni Yang.
Ni Yang was walking in this direction.
Could it be that Ni Yang had been here all along?
Was she eavesdropping on her conversation with Du Jiaojiao?
That’s just too sneaky, eavesdropping around the corner.
"Sorry Sister Jiaojiao, I have other things to attend to, I will explain to you in detail some other time! I must go!" With that, Wu Yanyun turned and left.
Watching Wu Yanyun’s retreating back, Du Jiaojiao sighed helplessly.
"Was that person just now Yanyun?" In fact, Ni Yang was not eavesdropping; she held no interest in doing such a thing. She had gone to the restroom and was just returning.
Du Jiaojiao nodded, "I think that girl is beyond saving."
Ni Yang understood what Du Jiaojiao meant and laughed, "Let her be."
Du Jiaojiao looked at Ni Yang, "Aren’t you even a bit curious about what Wu Yanyun said to me?"
On this end, Wei Haoguang said in surprise, "Yanyun, this bird is yours? It can even talk!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
How dare a beast like him call Mr. Du a little bastard?
The way Ni Yang attracted attention was truly low class!
She already had a boyfriend, yet she still came to provoke Mr. Du!
Wu Yanyun had watched outside Deming Pavilion for three days.
On the third day, she finally saw Mr. Du coming out of Deming Pavilion and she hastily pretended to bump into him by chance and struck up a conversation.
But Mr. Du only said one word to her.
A very heartless word.
Scram!
Wu Yanyun had mustered up her courage to approach Mr. Du, she never expected such a result.
In that moment, Wu Yanyun felt her self-respect and pride were harshly trampled to the ground.
Feeling depressed, Wu Yanyun went to drink with Wei Haoguang.
On the way to drink with Wei Haoguang, they ran into Ni Yang who had just returned from picking up clients at the airport.
Remembering what Wu Jinshu had said, Ni Yang drove her car to block Wei Haoguang’s motorcycle, "Yanyun, it’s very late now. Get in the car, I’ll take you home, don’t let your parents worry."
Wu Yanyun directly shook off Ni Yang’s hand, "Scram! What are you? I don’t need some random Tom, Dick or Harry meddling in my business!"
Ni Yang slightly frowned and released Wu Yanyun’s hand.
Wei Haoguang immediately revved up the motorcycle and took Wu Yanyun away from there.
Ni Yang drove her car to a phone booth by the roadside and made a call to Wu Jinshu.
Wu Yanyun going out to drink with Wei Haoguang had become a normal thing, so Wu Jinshu didn’t take it to heart, "She’s been going out to drink often recently, sometimes not coming home until midnight. Yangyang, don’t bother about it, just let her be. The more you intervene, the more she’ll resent you."
After informing Wu Jinshu, Ni Yang had fulfilled her responsibility. All she needed to do was have a clear conscience. After hanging up the call, she stopped minding the matter.
If she had insisted on dragging Wu Yanyun back home, Wu Yanyun wouldn’t have been grateful, only more resentful towards her.
Wei Haoguang had made plans to drink with three good brothers tonight.
After a few rounds of drinks, one of the brothers put his arm around Wei Haoguang’s shoulder and said, "How about it, brother? Got that thing ready?"
Wei Haoguang glanced sideways at Wu Yanyun who was already drunk, "Don’t worry, it’s all prepared."
