Chapter 602: Rice Cake Stands Up
Xu Ruting came to the floor where Wuyou Media was located and gently knocked on the door of Nian Gao's office.
"Come in."
Nian Gao was looking at the computer screen. When he looked towards the door and saw who was coming, he immediately stood up in surprise and asked, "Auntie, why are you here?"
"Can't I come and see my cute little rice cake?"
Xu Ruting smiled and stretched out her hands. She walked forward and hugged Nian Gao, then pretended to be angry: "Why are you thinner again? When I saw you just now, I felt that your clothes were empty. When I touched you, there was no flesh on your body."
"I've been losing weight recently, but I've become a lot stronger."
Nian Gao raised his hand, sighed, gestured to show off his arm, and said happily: "Auntie, please sit down, I miss you so much."
"Auntie misses you too."
Xu Ruting sat down happily, holding Nian Gao's hand, and said with a smile: "I just ran into Liang Fei downstairs. That guy must have done something again. He didn't dare to come up. Did he make you angry again?"
Nian Gao was silent for a moment, then smiled and said to Xu Ruting, "No, it's my fault. Liang Fei is downstairs, and it's almost time for dinner. Let's go have a meal together. I'll treat you, especially Auntie."
Xu Ruting felt heartbroken seeing a girl who was once so proud now having to compromise like this.
"Rice cake..."
Xu Ruting looked at Nian Gao and suddenly said seriously, "I sometimes admire Liang Fei as a son, because once he sets his mind on something, he will never compromise and will do his best to complete it. No matter how difficult it is, he will grit his teeth to get it done."
“I think you should learn from him.”
Xu Ruting paused, then continued, "If you worry too much about gains and losses, you will be very entangled and uncomfortable. In this case, why not take the initiative to fight for it?"
Nian Gao raised his head: "Auntie?"
Xu Ruting said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't mean anything else, but you were the first girl I met. You were so sweet and called me sister. My heart melted at that time. I still like the youthful Student Union President Nian Huaishi. You must like yourself back then, right?"
Nian Gao almost forgot how carefree he was when he was in Ming University. He said aggrievedly, "It's all Liang Fei's fault."
"Then don't let him have it too easy."
Xu Ruting encouraged, "After the last time, Auntie has actually thought it through. You can't be too indecisive. Auntie is willing to be your strong backing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Nian Gao felt inexplicably impulsive and wanted to hug Xu Ruting tightly.
Xu Ruting's support would not have much impact on her. In fact, Nian Gao also knew that Xu Ruting was a soft-hearted person. If other girls called her "Auntie" pitifully in front of her, she would not be able to stop comforting them.
But that sentence, I still like the youthful student union president Nian Huaishi, really reminds Nian Gao of his former self.
It was not like Ning Luo had advised him to let go as he had done before. It was not a foolish method of retreating to advance that Nian Gao had come up with on his own. Instead, Nian Huaishi was willing to take the initiative when he saw Liang Fei.
And now, why not try to change yourself again?
"I understand, Auntie."
Nian Gao suddenly stood up, picked up his bag and said, "Auntie, I'm going to do something outside. You and Liang Fei should go home first. I'll treat you to dinner later, but Liang Fei won't be brought along."
"Okay!"
Xu Ruting nodded with a smile, and watched Nian Gao walk out of the office. She suddenly stopped smiling and tilted her head to herself, "Oh, that's not right. I came here to coax Nian Gao. How did she understand what I just said?"
I can’t figure it out, so I just stop thinking about it.
Nian Gao took the elevator downstairs. Liang Fei was walking back and forth in the lobby on the first floor with his hands in his pockets, chatting with the security guard from time to time and looking at the people coming in and out. Thanks to Wuyou Media, the girls in this office building should be the most beautiful among the nearby office buildings.
Seeing Nian Gao coming downstairs without bringing Xu Ruting, Liang Fei secretly said "Oh no", could it be that even her mother can't control this woman now?
Looks like I have to do it myself.
Before Liang Fei could say anything, Nian Gao had already walked in front of him. The two looked at each other. Nian Gao tilted his head and suddenly gave a wicked smile. He raised his hand to hold the back of Liang Fei's neck and smacked him hard on the side of his face.
A thick lipstick mark appeared on Liang Fei's cheek. The security guard next to her was very shocked and secretly gave Liang Fei a thumbs up.
He recognized Nian Gao, the beautiful proprietress who was very famous in the whole building. She was young and beautiful, with a good family background. There were countless people who cared about her.
It looks like this rich woman is keeping a gigolo.
Tsk, being handsome really can make a living.
"What are you doing?" Liang Fei covered her face and looked at Nian Gao angrily, "There are so many people here, can't you go home and kiss them again?"
"Go home and wait for me."
After saying this, Nian Gao walked out of the building, got into the car and drove away.
Liang Fei was really confused watching Nian Gao leave. Just as she was wondering, Xu Ruting also walked out of the elevator and came to her son's side: "Why is your face so red? Did Nian Gao hit you?"
"Kissed."
Liang Fei touched her face and looked at Xu Ruting: "Mom, what did you say to Nian Gao?"
Xu Ruting shrugged: "Nothing was said. The main idea was probably to let her be herself."
Liang Fei asked back: "How do you understand being yourself?"
Xu Ruting said as a matter of course: "Of course I should be myself..."
It was as if she hadn't said anything. Liang Fei took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "I guess, maybe Nian Gao's understanding of being herself is to return to being the domineering female student union president before."
Minghai Foreign Language University
Nian Gao was standing downstairs of a dormitory building with her bag. Although it was vacation, Tang Xi was still helping her supervisor with his project. When she was busy, she would not go home and would live directly in the dormitory. At the same time, she also started preparing her graduation thesis and looking for a suitable job . In short, she was very busy.
Tang Xi was also surprised when she received Nian Gao's call. She hurried downstairs and saw Nian Gao waiting for her. She said hurriedly, "You didn't wait long. I stayed up late to finish my thesis last night and slept too late. I was still lying in bed when you called me. I washed my face and came down."
"Not long."
Nian Gao took his hand out of his trouser pocket and used his fingertips to help Tang Xi tidy up her bangs that were blown by the wind.
Tang Xi blinked and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of coming to school to find me? Are you passing by to do something?"
"no."
Nian Gao shook his head and looked at Tang Xi with a smile: "I came here specifically to see you."
Tang Xi's heart tightened, and she suddenly fell silent. After a moment, she said, "I haven't eaten yet. Why don't we go to the cafeteria to eat something? The cafeteria in Mingwai is also pretty good. You can try it."
"Okay."
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding and walked to the cafeteria without saying a word. During the summer vacation, the cafeteria only opened two windows to serve the teachers on duty and the students who did not go home, and there were not many dishes.
However, Nian Gao and Tang Xi did not come to eat. They simply bought a few dishes. After sitting down, Tang Xi picked up the chopsticks and put rice into her mouth in small bites.
Nian Gao scooped rice into his mouth with a spoon and asked, "Are things going well recently?"
"smoothly."
Tang Xi nodded and said, "Everything is on track. I was thinking that if I hadn't wasted those four years at Mingda, I would be much more relaxed now."
"Three years."
Nian Gao corrected him: "You worked very hard in the last year."
Why work hard, it's obvious.
Tang Xi forced a smile, blinked quickly, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Nian Gao quickly finished a bowl of rice, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then asked, "Xixi, let me ask you something."
"What?"
"When did you fall in love with Liang Fei?"
Tang Xi was startled and quickly denied: "I never slept with him!"
rice cake:"……"
Seeing Nian Gao staring at her, Tang Xi put down her chopsticks in panic, held the cup of water and drank from it in big gulps, glancing at Nian Gao from time to time, looking very nervous.
Nian Gao was not in a hurry, and held his chin with one hand: "I'm really curious, when did my best friend start to like my boyfriend."
"I feel very surprised because Liang Fei once embarrassed you so much."
This was about the time when Liang Fei pulled up Tang Xi's dress. At that time, Nian Gao was very worried that Tang Xi would call the police directly, but he didn't expect that Tang Xi would just handle the matter coldly and let it go.
Pop.
Putting the empty water cup on the dining table, Tang Xi looked up at Nian Gao and said, "Because he tore off my fig leaf. You should know how ridiculous I was at Mingda University. Any man who appeared in front of me would... how should I put it? They would try to please me. To put it bluntly, because I am pretty and have a hot body, they thought they could have a chance to sleep with me by being friendly or playing together."
"But Liang Fei is different. He has never treated me well and his dislike for me is always obvious."
Nian Gao shook his head and said, "You are really perverted."
“A little bit…”
Tang Xi looked at Nian Gao and continued, "At this point, I don't know why I like Liang Fei. If I have to find a reason, it might be that he pulled me out of the abyss."
Nian Gao agreed with him and nodded, saying, "That's true. If it were me, I would like him too."
After a pause, Nian Gao looked at Tang Xi: "But this is not a valid reason for you to like Liang Fei."
Tang Xi asked: "What is a legitimate reason?"
"There is no legitimate reason, because I am Liang Fei's girlfriend." Nian Gao also found it difficult to laugh at this time, "People outside say that we are fake sisters, but you know, I don't have many friends. In fact, whether it's you, Xiaoxiao, or Fang Qiong, none of us have close friends."
"So I actually cherish you guys very much. Even though, even though I know you guys all like Liang Fei, I don't want to say it so bluntly, because I cherish you guys."
This made Tang Xi very desperate.
Staring at Tang Xi, Nian Gao continued, "But it's different now. I can't give him to anyone else. He can only be mine."
"This is a notice, Xixi."
After saying that, Nian Gao stood up with his hands on the table and picked up his bag: "Thank you for lunch, I won't have afternoon tea with you, I have an appointment."
Tang Xi was very smart. From the fact that Nian Gao came to her to discuss this matter that everyone else always avoided talking about, she immediately guessed that Nian Gao would definitely look for Wang Xiaoxiao next.
After all, in order to fight against foreign enemies, one must first stabilize the internal situation and eliminate the people around him who are stabbing him in the back. If it were Tang Xi, he would do the same.
Thinking of this, Tang Xi, as if possessed, called Wang Xiaoxiao. In a sense, only when someone is attacked suddenly like herself can the effect be maximized, because with a series of emotions such as shame and regret for betraying her best friend, she might really choose to give up.
I have given up, why should I let Wang Xiaoxiao hold on alone?
But Tang Xi still chose to inform Wang Xiaoxiao: "Nian Gao should have come to find you."
"I know."
Wang Xiaoxiao's tone on the other end of the phone was normal: "She called me and asked me to have afternoon tea. I don't have much work to do in the afternoon. Do you want to come along? I'll call Fang Qiong. We haven't had a gathering for a long time."
"I won't come. Nian Gao just came to see me and we had lunch together."
After a pause, Tang Xi said, "She asked me when I fell in love with Liang Fei."
Wang Xiaoxiao was silent.
Tang Xi continued, "So I think she will ask you the same question. You should take care of yourself."
Seeing that the other end of the phone remained silent, Tang Xi chuckled: "What's wrong, are you scared silly?"
"No."
Wang Xiaoxiao finally spoke, her tone somewhat questioning: "Actually, I'm also curious about this question. Anyway, everyone is in the same boat with Nian Gao. You always tell me, have you ever slept with Liang Fei?"
“…”
Beep, beep, beep…
In the office, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in a professional suit, put down his phone, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed faintly, and looked up and exclaimed: "This day has finally come."
"What's coming? What's coming?"
Fang Qiong, who came to visit, sat down with a cup of milk tea in her left hand and a bag of fried pork tenderloin in her right hand. She said, "Tell me something. I'm so bored lately."
"Nian Gao is coming to see me."
"Looking for you?" Fang Qiong put down her milk tea and pork tenderloin and asked angrily, "She looked for you alone, right? She didn't want to play with me again, right? What did you promise me at the beginning? You promised me that you would definitely play with me in the future. Why are you breaking your promise again?"
Speaking of this, Fang Qiong became angrier and angrier, and paced back and forth in Wang Xiaoxiao's office. She was so angry that her sisters had betrayed her that she was dizzy.
"Okay, just because I'm not having an affair with Liang Fei, you think I'm an outsider and don't want to play with me, right? Fine, you're being cruel!"
Wang Xiaoxiao kept her hands behind her back and looked back at Fang Qiong helplessly: "She came to me just because of the unclear relationship between Liang Fei and me."
Fang Qiong blinked: "She has always known."
"Maybe it's because Nian Gao is too kind." Wang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "She has already looked for Tang Xi. It's obvious that Nian Gao doesn't want to indulge us anymore."
"Oh, don't bring them. I'm not involved." Fang Qiong immediately chose to take back her nonsense and coughed. "I think this job is very suitable for me. I want to work until retirement. I can't offend Nian Gao. Offending Nian Gao is equivalent to offending Liang Fei. If I offend Liang Fei, I will lose my job. Xiaoxiao, please understand me. I won't get involved in your affairs."
After saying that, he quickly took the milk tea and pork tenderloin and left, as it was not advisable to stay here for long.
After walking to the mirror and adjusting her clothes, Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly frowned and stamped her feet: "Why do I feel like I'm fixing my appearance? How unlucky."
After waiting for a while, Nian Gao sent me a WeChat message asking me to meet him at a coffee shop near the Light Year Technology Building.
When the Light Year Technology Building was first built, this area was still very empty and there were only a few subway stations. Two years later, various buildings and residential buildings sprang up, and business gradually became prosperous. Most of the consumers are high-paid employees of IT and financial companies, so things here are generally more expensive.
Arriving at the coffee shop as promised, Wang Xiaoxiao put on a smile and walked quickly to where Nian Gao was. Before she could say anything, she heard Nian Gao ask, "Xixi called you, right?"
Wang Xiaoxiao's smile paused for a moment, then she sat down silently and chuckled a few times.
"Xixi has always been quite righteous."
Nian Gao gestured to Wang Xiaoxiao to try the small cakes first: "It tastes very good. I had already eaten one before you came."
"OK, thanks."
Wang Xiaoxiao picked up the small spoon and heard Nian Gao ask, "Xiaoxiao, when did you start liking Liang Fei?"
"???"
Why didn’t Nian Gao ask when he fell in love with Liang Fei? What’s wrong? Am I not worthy?
Just because I have small breasts?
Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't eat the cake anymore. Seeing that Nian Gao was so direct, she didn't hide anything anymore. In fact, she had wanted to say these things out loud for a long time.
It's really unkind to backstab your best friend, but it feels better if you say it out loud.
"In the beginning, I just thought he was handsome and promising." Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Nian Gao and said, "Because you were with him, I just wanted to take advantage of him and make more money with Liang Fei. In fact, Nian Gao, among us, you are not the only one. Xixi is a smart girl who almost went to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Fang Qiong, Fang Qiong..."
Let’s not talk about Fang Qiong for now, it’s not important. Wang Xiaoxiao paused and continued, “I’m the only one, and I don’t have much to rely on. If it weren’t for the demolition of our home, our family might have to stay in the old house for the rest of our lives.”
"It was Liang Fei who showed me that this world is so big and has so many possibilities."
After listening to this, Nian Gao nodded slightly: "Your reasons are all very sufficient."
"I know that any reason cannot be considered a reason." Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Nian Gao and asked sincerely, "So, what are you going to do and how are you going to punish me?"
"Love is the only thing in this world . Punishment doesn't count."
Nian Gao shook his head and said, "I can't control you, but I won't indulge you anymore. You don't dare to expose your relationship with Liang Fei, but I dare, because I am the one with the right to do so."
"In fact, I'm no longer afraid that Liang Fei will hate me because of this."
Nian Gao smiled at Wang Xiaoxiao and said, "Because I just realized today that every time she got upset, it was Liang Fei who took the initiative to find me. I should have been so fearless a long time ago."
"It's not pleasing to others, but at least I like myself."
"Bye, I'm leaving now. I have to have dinner with Aunt Xu tonight."
Killing someone destroys their heart. Killing someone destroys their heart.
Wang Xiaoxiao saw Nian Gao jumping into the car with brisk steps, she leaned on the sofa, holding her chest and taking a breath, then called Tang Xi.
"Why did she come to us? Why didn't she go to Yu Yi? Yu Yi is the most arrogant one. We both know we are in the wrong, but we never show up!"
Tang Xi on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Yu Yi will really challenge her. Nian Gao doesn't have enough confidence that he can completely crush Yu Yi."
"That……"
"Are you giving up?" Tang Xi asked.
"do not give up!"
