The social was held in the sugar factory's conference room, and we arrived there in no time.

As soon as you walk in, you will see a table with a big red cloth on it. On the table are several red plates filled with melon seeds, peanuts and fruit candies for everyone to enjoy. There is also melodious dance music playing.

Quite a few people had already come in, some were sitting alone, some were sitting together chatting, and some were sitting in groups of three or four.

Li Xia and Gu Baozhu took An An to find a seat and sat down. Gu Baozhu also grabbed a handful of candy for An An and stuffed it into his pocket, saying with a smile, "Take it home and eat it."

Li Xia looked around to see if there was any gay man who looked good and suitable for Gu Baozhu, and asked Gu Baozhu: "Baozhu, do you have a gay man you like? If you do, you can take the initiative to make a move. You don't have to wait for others to find you."

Gu Baozhu's face immediately turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "Cousin... please don't make fun of me. I seldom talk to male comrades in the factory."

It can be seen that Gu Baozhu is a shy person after all.

"I think that one is good." Li Xia noticed a man wearing a black cotton coat sitting alone not far away. He was quite good. She was about to point it out to Gu Baozhu, but she noticed that Gu Baozhu's face was full of nervousness, as if she had seen something terrible.

Li Xia followed Gu Baozhu's line of sight and saw that it was a man and a woman walking over.

The woman was wearing a bright red cotton coat and had two braids. Her facial features were fairly regular, but her skin was very dark, which looked even darker in the red clothes.

The man next to her had quite fair skin, but he looked too feminine and only about 1.7 meters tall. Standing next to this woman, he looked more like a woman than she did.

Without Gu Baozhu's specific explanation, Li Xia immediately guessed that the two people were Tan Ming and Wang Fangfang.

Tsk, Gu Baozhu hasn't come to settle accounts with them yet, and they still have the nerve to approach them? They really give them face.

Li Xia frowned.

"Gu Baozhu, I didn't expect you to attend the social gathering this year. You're like this, even if you came you wouldn't be able to..." When Wang Fangfang was still some distance away, she couldn't wait to mock Gu Baozhu.

But when she got closer, she found that the ugly birthmark on Gu Baozhu's face was nowhere to be seen. It was completely covered by Gu Baozhu's newly cut bangs.

And for some reason, without the birthmark, Gu Baozhu looked very beautiful. Her eyes were bigger and more lively! Her skin was white, and her mouth was a little red!

Wang Fangfang's face turned ugly and she asked, "Gu Baozhu, where is the birthmark on your face? Why is it gone?"

As she said this, she actually reached out and lifted up Gu Baozhu's bangs.

Seeing this, Li Xia slapped Wang Fangfang's hand and said coldly, "Baozhu, who is this dark-skinned guy? He has such a pair of thief hands. Did you touch him?"

An An suddenly had an idea and followed up on her mother's words: "Mom, she looks like the Black Whirlwind Li Kui in the Water Margin that I heard!"

Even though she had never read "Water Margin", Wang Fangfang had heard storytelling on the radio.

Seeing An An actually saying that she looked like Li Kui, Wang Fangfang was so angry that her eyes turned red. She looked at Li Xia and then at An An, and said with a dark face: "Whose child is this? She has no family education. Black Whirlwind Li Kui is a boy, and I am a girl. How can we be the same?"

"Hey, are you introducing yourself?" An An scratched his head, looking confused. "Just now, someone seemed to want to lift my aunt's bangs without permission. Mom, isn't this behavior very uneducated? Didn't mom teach me that you have to get the other person's consent before you can do that?"

Li Xia nodded and said, "Of course."

After being retorted by An An, Wang Fangfang wanted to say something in rebuttal, but was at a loss for words.

She became even angrier when she found out she couldn't even win an argument with a child who was only a few years old.

She quickly glanced at Tan Ming beside her, wanting him to say a few words for her, but found that Tan Ming's eyes were on Gu Baozhu's face. All his attention was attracted by Gu Baozhu, and he had no time to care about her at all.

"Tan Ming!" Wang Fangfang yelled angrily, "What are you looking at!"

"Oh, I found that Gu Baozhu has changed a lot after she changed her hairstyle, so I took a few more glances at her. What's wrong?" Tan Ming asked, looking at Wang Fangfang, whose face was red and thick with anger, and whose face looked black and red. Compared with Gu Baozhu opposite her, who had fair skin and watery eyes, she looked even uglier.

"Fangfang, the other party is still a child. Why are you competing with a child? If others tell others, they will laugh at you." Tan Ming advised.

Wang Fangfang didn't expect that Tan Ming wouldn't speak for her. She was almost mad to death and turned around and left.

Seeing Wang Fangfang leave, Tan Ming lowered his voice and said to Gu Baozhu: "Baozhu, actually there is nothing between me and Wang Fangfang. She kept pestering me, and I was so annoyed that I said those things to you. I have never let go of the feelings between us."

Li Xia couldn't help but roll her eyes while listening to this. It seemed that this kind of rhetoric was really a classic statement made by a typical scumbag who wanted to get back with his girlfriend.

Seeing that An An wanted to speak for his aunt again, Li Xia shook her head at him, signaling him not to speak.

Gu Baozhu's character is still too weak. She and An An can help her once or twice, but they cannot help her all the time. What's more, it is an emotional matter like this, and she must make the choice on her own initiative.

If she and An An helped her scold Tan Ming away, but Gu Baozhu didn't let go of Tan Ming in her heart, and secretly got back together with Tan Ming, she would probably be mad to death. It would be better to let Gu Baozhu solve the matter herself from the beginning. She made her own choice and had to bear the consequences herself.

Even if you are rejected, you still have to stand up for yourself.
