Gold-digger is the persona Ruan Tang, a young woman from a small town, created for herself. Since childhood, she and her mother relied on each other, her mother being strong-willed her entire life ...
Chapter 8. Safe Items for Multiple-Choice Questions
I'm not as polite as you, asking if someone minds before stealing their things. But since I stole them, it doesn't seem to matter.
While Xu Wei was in the bathroom, Lin Shen's face changed and he said coldly: I hope you won't interfere in the affairs between me and Weiwei anymore.
Ruan Tang just found it funny: If Xu Wei is going to jump into the fire pit, should I cheer her on?
"I will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, Ruan Tang burst out laughing.
"The relationships between men and women right now are so confusing. Do you believe what you're saying?"
Lin Shen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke again: "I was sorry for her in that matter, but do you think Xu Wei is really stupid? If you insist on opposing it, do you think your friendship can continue?"
Seeing Ruan Tang's silence, Lin Shen continued, "Back in school, there was a type of multiple-choice question on exams where you got no points for choosing the wrong answer or choosing multiple answers. Do you remember that? Now, for Xu Wei, I'm the option that's least likely to go wrong. What couple doesn't have problems being together? I just strayed a little, and I had my own reasons."
Ruan Tang rolled her eyes so much that they almost hit the ceiling of the hot pot restaurant, and asked in return: You remember those things from your childhood so clearly, why do you forget Xu Wei when facing other women?
When Xu Wei came back, her hands were wet, and Lin Shen quickly took out a tissue to wipe her hands.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xu Wei asked: What's wrong?
"I was discussing with Ruan Tang about making up a proposal ceremony for you. She blamed me for not being romantic enough."
On the way home, Ruan Tang passed by an independent designer jewelry store. The store was playing Eason Chan’s song “When the Grapes Ripen”: “You have to wait and wait, even if you lose, you must always hold on.
Just as you need to wait patiently for grapes to ripen, when a relationship is overripe and has begun to rot from the inside out, is it still necessary to wait? It seems that Xu Wei has chosen affirmation.
But love is like that brooch in the window. If it’s broken, I won’t want it anymore, no matter how many pearls and gems are inlaid on it, Ruan Tang thought.
But as if fate was testing her, Ruan Tang encountered the "broken jewel brooch" again the next day.
Early in the morning, as she approached the gate of the community, she saw a familiar figure leaning against the Mercedes-Benz parked not far away.
Ruan Tang has a problem. She has been in love with too many men and has to deal with all kinds of women at work, so she is somewhat face-blind.
She would set detailed tags and descriptions for every boy she dated on WeChat, and would even add photos of the boys she was interested in.
As for clients, she relies on the extremely clearly categorized database in her mind and her keen observation skills acquired over the years of working in the industry. Once she confirms that a client has had their nose bridge filled and their chin done, or just had Botox injections last week, she can immediately find the client's name in her mind.
But she could recognize her ex at a glance, not because of anything else, but because he was the first man in her cognition who was associated with a wedding dress. When Ruan Tang found the wedding dress under his bed, she thought she was finally going to dock at the terminal called happiness.
If two stamped wedding photos hadn't fallen out of the wedding dress, the scene would still be very beautiful.
Of course, what she remembers most is what Wang Hao said: From an economic point of view, women over 25 are like assets that depreciate rapidly, and their beauty fades away quickly. In Wall Street jargon, being in a relationship with you is a "trading position" that must be sold immediately once its value drops, and it is not advisable to hold it for a long time.
Ruan Tang happened to be wearing a pair of high heels today, and when she walked towards Wang Hao, her steps were swaying and charming.
Seeing the man grinning, she resisted the urge to slap him and asked, "Aren't you already trapped? Why are you still appearing in front of me, a piece of junk stock?"
Wang Hao didn't say anything, but turned around with a smile, took out a huge Dior shopping bag from the car and stuffed it into Ruan Tang's hand: A new model, just right to match your skirt today.
When they were together, Ruan Tang often hinted to Wang Hao that she wanted a bag, from pretending to send a wrong WeChat message to send him a picture of a bag to directly dragging him shopping, but Wang Hao ignored all of them.
Later, after seeing the marriage certificate, she thought that everything was clear. The financial power was in the hands of the wife who never showed up, and even cheating could only be done with words.
Ruan Tang lowered his head to look at it, but did not reach out to take it. He smiled and asked: No reward without merit.
At this time, Wang Hao had already opened the car door: If you feel bad, then please do me the honor of being my female companion and accompany me to the Hilton to attend a banquet.
Go find your wife.
Ruan Tang said this and turned to leave. Wang Hao hurriedly chased after her, blocked her way and said concisely: I'm divorced.
I have to admit that Bao is still very powerful after all.
She stopped, turned around and asked: Where is the divorce certificate?
Wang Hao opened the passenger door and said with a smile, "We're going through the formalities, seriously! We separated a long time ago, otherwise how could I have dared to bring you back to my house? If my ex-wife caught us, I'd be at fault and kicked out of the house. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Seeing that Ruan Tang still looked doubtful, he stuffed the shopping bags into the back seat, pressed Ruan Tang's shoulders and stuffed her into the passenger seat, and continued to comfort her: I shouldn't have said that at the time, I was wrong, but you have been going through the divorce litigation process during this period. I know you want to settle down, so I am waiting to deal with all the troubles before coming back to you.
Ruan Tang hadn't expected to see Xu Wei again so soon. It felt like a cruel irony of fate. Yesterday, she'd been scolding Xu Wei for being out of her mind, and today, she'd fallen right back into the same trap.
Seeing that her eyes were wide open, Wang Hao pretended to be angry and asked her if she had seen her ex.
However, the current situation is more anxious than seeing the ex.
Xu Wei and Lin Shen sat side by side. Sitting opposite them was a young girl with round features. She was not pretty, but cute enough.
Although Lin Shen's words, "Don't get involved in Weiwei and me anymore," kept replaying in her mind, by the time she came to her senses, she had already walked over and sat down next to the round-faced girl.
Xu Wei seemed very surprised. She looked at her with an expression of disbelief and asked: Why are you here?
Lin Shen frowned, but didn't say anything, as if he was about to freeze.
The round-faced girl seemed to immediately understand which camp she belonged to, and waved at Ruan Tang with a smile: Hello, I am Sisi, the netizen who is looking for Teacher Xu for emotional consultation.
At this time, the waiter brought two desserts and placed them in front of Xu Wei and Sisi respectively. Sisi glanced at the bone china plate in front of Xu Wei and reached out to switch hers to herself. "Eh? This is my favorite Mont Blanc. Teacher Xu, don't you mind giving it to me?"
Seeing that Xu Wei was still calm and composed, Ruan Tang directly reached out and took the Mont Blanc, took a big bite and put it into his mouth, and said with his mouth full: I'm sorry, I'm not as polite as you. You ask if you mind before stealing people's things. But since I stole them, it doesn't seem to matter, don't you think?
