Chapter 113 Meeting the Rival
After being shocked, Meng Haosi was delighted. He didn't even bother to argue with Chen Xiangxiang and just walked out the door.
But Chen Xiangxiang's face was filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"This damn woman must be here to show off!"
Ruan Yuntang walked over to her side upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "What is she showing off?"
"She's showing off that she's engaged to Brother Shao Huan!" Chen Xiang said with a chuckle, then glared at her, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
"How would I understand if you don't tell me? I don't have a good impression of Qiao Sujin either." Ruan Yuntang knew this young lady too well.
Sure enough, when Chen Xiangxiang heard this, she immediately felt like she had found a comrade-in-arms, and angrily recounted the grudge between the two of them.
Ruan Yuntang understood after listening.
When Jiang Shaohuan was recuperating at his maternal grandparents' home, Chen Xiangxiang accompanied her father to visit the old man of the Zhao family and fell in love with him at first sight. Old man Zhao and Old man Shen were good friends and were also looking to get married.
However, he didn't expect that Grandpa Jiang Shaohuan had already arranged a fiancée for him, and that was Qiao Sujin.
Old Master Shen advised his granddaughter to give up, and Chen Xiangxiang ran here in anger to relax.
"Qiao Sujin is like a tomboy, hanging out in the military camp all day, being friendly with a bunch of men. How could Brother Shao Huan possibly like such a woman?"
Ruan Yuntang looked at the little girl who was almost biting her back teeth and asked directly, "Did he cancel the engagement?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Xiangxiang's eyes dimmed and she bit her lower lip. "Brother Shaohuan said that we must obey our parents' orders and the matchmaker's words."
Ruan Yuntang sighed and advised: "Since he is getting married, just forget about him."
Chen Xiangxiang said unwillingly: "But Brother Shaohuan said he doesn't like her and he has no feelings for her!"
It is obvious that the male protagonist was tough at first, but later he had to wash his underwear with a cold face!
Ruan Yuntang continued to persuade: "Have you ever thought that people gradually develop feelings after getting married?"
"Impossible. How could Brother Shaohuan, such a gentle man, like a vulgar tomboy!" Chen Xiangxiang was extremely sure.
Ruan Yuntang didn't intend to persuade her anymore and asked directly: "Are you planning to be a mistress?"
"How is that possible!" Chen Xiangxiang retorted quickly, but there was still unwillingness in her eyes.
She did not tell her family that she had come to the mountain village this time, but only told Brother Shao Huan. As long as he had feelings for her, he would definitely give up the engagement and come to find her.
If...if he didn't come, she was going to...give up completely.
Thinking of this, she remembered Qiao Sujin suddenly coming to see her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She suppressed her joy and quickly took out her small mirror and rouge to touch up her makeup.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Yuntang looked confused.
The invisible tail behind Chen Xiangxiang stood up high.
"Stupid! She's come to my house looking for a love rival like me. Brother Shao Huan must have already asked her to break off the engagement."
Ruan Yuntang: ...
She didn't want to talk to this idiot anymore, but she didn't expect Chen Xiangxiang to insist on dragging her along.
Wang Ying generously gave up his office for them to meet friends.
When Ruan Yuntang walked in, Meng Haosi was like an obedient husky, with Qiao Sujin pulling his hair. The intimate laughter of the two made the office very lively.
And Su Ye was sitting opposite them on the sofa.
Ruan Yuntang watched Su Ye silently looking at the scenery outside the window, glanced at Meng Haosi who was completely unaware on the other side, and was speechless.
You deserve to not be able to find a wife.
Someone poked Ruan Yuntang on the back and he was about to make way when Qiao Sujin glanced over inadvertently.
"Ruan Yuntang?"
Her shocked voice brought Meng Haosi back to his senses. He quickly fixed his hair and sat up straight.
"Sister Su Jin, do you know her?" Meng Haosi asked doubtfully.
Qiao Sujin smiled lightly and said meaningfully, "Of course I know him. We just had some friction this morning."
Hearing this, Meng Haosi looked even more surprised.
Qiao Sujin waited for a while, but Meng Haosi didn't come to her rescue like he always did. She turned to look at him.
"Are you familiar with Comrade Ruan?"
Meng Haosi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously said:
"How is that possible? She works in the factory our family invested in. We are barely colleagues."
The pride and disdain for the lower classes in his eyes were similar to those of the second-generation rich in the past. Qiao Sujin finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
But she didn't notice that he deliberately lowered his voice when he said this, and his expression was not very natural.
"Sister Su Jin, what friction did you have with her?" Meng Haosi asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing. I just gave her some advice with good intentions, and she thought I was meddling in her business. Sigh..." Qiao Sujin looked quite distressed and didn't want to say more.
Meng Haosi continued to ask: "What's going on?"
Seeing that he did not help her as he did in the past, but instead started to ask her questions, Qiao Sujin frowned deeply.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw another person appear at the door. She stopped what she was about to say, stood up and walked away.
"Xiangxiang, long time no see, you become beautiful again."
Chen Xiangxiang uncomfortably took a step closer to Ruan Yuntang, feeling a moment of awkwardness in the face of her now graceful rival.
Qiao Sujin naturally noticed her subtle movements.
This is a manifestation of subconscious dependence.
She turned her eyes to look at Ruan Yuntang and said with a smile:
"Comrade Ruan is really popular. I didn't expect you to know Sister Xiangxiang as well."
Before Ruan Yuntang could speak, Chen Xiangxiang angrily said, "Who is your sister? Why are you blindly claiming to be a relative?"
"Ah...it's your brother..." Qiao Sujin opened her mouth and closed it again, smiling tolerantly, "Okay, if Xiangxiang doesn't like it, I won't call you that anymore."
Chen Xiangxiang rolled her eyes speechlessly, but she also knew that it must have been her brother who brought this up, so she didn't say anything more, but just said unhappily:
"Why are you looking for me? If you want to show off, please go out and turn left, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Qiao Sujin was not angry, she smiled gently as if she was looking at the girl next door:
"Xiangxiang, I came here this time because I want to explain something to you."
"What do you want to explain?" Chen Xiangxiang's tone was not good.
Qiao Sujin glanced at the person beside her, her face looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Xiangxiang, let's go to a quiet place to talk."
Chen Xiangxiang was reluctant at first, but seeing her embarrassed look, he really became interested.
Before leaving, she even asked Ruan Yuntang, "You must wait for me!"
"Where else can I go during working hours?" Ruan Yuntang asked speechlessly.
Chen Xiang was stunned and snorted, "Who knows if you will ask for leave again!"
"..." Ruan Yuntang was helpless, "I promise not to ask for leave, okay?"
Chen Xiangxiang nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the office next door.
Qiao Sujin followed behind, listening to the two people talking to each other, her face darkened.
I didn't expect Ruan Yuntang to make this unruly young lady so dependent on her.
You are really good at it!
As Ruan Yuntang watched the two figures disappear at the door, the strange feeling in his heart came back again.
At this moment, a nonchalant male voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hey, why did you offend my sister Su Jin? She's such a nice person, how could you have a conflict with her?"
