Chapter 55: The lingering ghost



How strange.

Wen Ying looked at Wang Shuang and then at Li Mengjiao. If it wasn't for the purpose of preventing her aunt and uncle's marriage from breaking down, Wen Ying would not have gone to work at her uncle Deng Shangwei's aquatic products company.

If he didn't go to work, he naturally wouldn't be taken by Deng Shangwei to meet Boss Qin.

It was only after meeting Boss Qin that Wen Ying and Qin Jiao became friends.

Through Qin Jiao, he met Wang Shuang, and now he also knows Li Mengjiao, the beauty in his high school class in his previous life.

Since Qin Jiao can bring Wen Ying here, people like Li Mengjiao and Wang Shuang are at least regarded as friends by Qin Jiao.

The young lady’s circle of friends is not simple. Except for Wen Ying who got in by chance, the others’ family backgrounds are probably not much worse than Qin Jiao’s.

So, why didn’t I know in my previous life that Li Mengjiao and Qin Jiao were good friends, nor did I hear of Wang Shuang’s name during my three years of high school?

Wen Ying deduced that in their previous life, Li Mengjiao and Qin Jiao might have had a falling out this summer. After Wen Ying entered the provincial key school, the two had become strangers. It was no surprise that Li Mengjiao did not show off that she had such an excellent friend like Qin Jiao.

When teenage girls are in a good relationship, they wish they could be conjoined twins and even hold hands when going to the toilet. When they quarrel, they will magnify the smallest conflict and end up not talking to each other anymore.

As for Wang Shuang... Could it be that in the previous life, when Wen Ying was in high school, this little playboy had already transferred to another school?

Wen Ying suppressed the little doubt in her heart.

Li Mengjiao is a typical girl from Chengdu. She speaks in a coquettish voice but has a boyish personality. She gives Qin Jiao a lot of face. As soon as Wen Ying sits down, Li Mengjiao starts chattering with Wen Ying.

Wang Shuang frowned, "Li Mengjiao, you're so noisy!"

Li Mengjiao glared at him: "What do you care? If you think I'm noisy, don't sit at the same table with me."

The two of them kept talking back and forth, and became more and more angry.

Qin Jiao was helpless: "That's how they are. Every time they meet, they quarrel. It's like a dog meeting a sheep. They can't be apart, and they can't be together."

"Dogs meet sheep" is a common saying in Chengdu. It originally refers to the sheep and sheepdogs on the grassland. Because of the threat of wolves, the sheep and sheepdogs cannot be separated, but they don't like each other and often quarrel and fight when they meet, which is quite like a "love-hate relationship".

When Qin Jiao said this, Wen Ying understood immediately.

Sure enough, Wang Shuang and Li Mengjiao said in unison:

"He's a dog!"

"She's a dog!"

Wen Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Qin Jiao couldn't help but shake her head. The other two boys, Tang Yifeng and Geng Xiao, weren't as outgoing as Wang Shuang. They quietly ate barbecue and chatted with Qin Jiao about school.

It’s not that the two of them intentionally ignored Wen Ying, it’s just that it was their first meeting, and they didn’t find anything special about Wen Ying, so they didn’t take the initiative to find topics to accommodate Wen Ying.

Wang Shuang watched coldly and found that Wen Ying was not embarrassed at all when she was ignored.

He said it was abnormal.

Normal girls all have tempers, but Wen Ying doesn't. She must have other motives for being so tolerant.

The barbecue restaurant was doing so well that Wang Shuang called out for drinks several times but the waiter didn't hear him, so he simply went to get it from the freezer himself. Li Mengjiao called out to Wang Shuang to get her a bottle, but Wang Shuang retorted a few words to her, and she got so angry that she ran to get it herself.

The two stood in front of the freezer, and Li Mengjiao whispered:

"You said Wen Ying is good at flattering people, but I don't think so. She's just ordinary, nothing special."

Wang Shuang sneered, "She wants to catch the big fish Qin Jiao, and she's not interested in a small shrimp like you. Naturally, she won't waste her energy on you. She was very flattering to Qin Jiao in front of you!"

Li Mengjiao bit the straw in her mouth and reached out to pinch Wang Shuang's arm.

"Qin Jiao is the big fish, and I'm the small shrimp?"

"Don't touch me, I have a girlfriend!"

Wang Shuang slapped Li Mengjiao's hand away. Li Mengjiao took two sips of the soda and said, "Wang Shuang, you are such a bastard."

Wang Shuang seemed to have received great praise.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Wang Shuang picked up a bottle of Coke and got some mineral water for Qin Jiao. As for Wen Ying, Tang Yifeng and Geng Xiao, he didn't care. Just get whatever you want to drink. Young Master Wang is not a waiter!

When Wang Shuang returned to the table, he just heard Geng Xiao say that the exam was over and they should make plans to go somewhere to play. He asked Qin Jiao if she wanted to go to Tibet.

In 2004, Tibet was still a spiritual paradise in the eyes of young intellectuals, mysterious and otherworldly, and its status had not been lost.

Qin Jiao was somewhat tempted.

But her father had warned her to be careful recently and to bring bodyguards with him whenever he went out for supper at night. How could he agree to let her go to Tibet?

Qin Jiao couldn't explain the reason, and Wen Ying saw her embarrassment and said with a smile, "Jiao Jie, you're going to Tibet? I've never been there either. I really want to go with you, but unfortunately I have to take extra classes this summer and can't go far."

Qin Jiao said, "Geng Xiao, why don't you go next summer vacation? We can have more fun after I finish the college entrance examination."

Geng Xiao was a little unhappy.

Wang Shuang was right. Qin Jiao had only known Wen Ying for a few days, but she was already accommodating Wen Ying. Because Wen Ying said that she had to make up for the lessons during the summer vacation, Qin Jiao would not go to Tibet... It was really funny. She didn't intend to invite Wen Ying to go with her, so why should she accommodate Wen Ying?

Geng Xiao stopped talking.

Wang Shuang chuckled, "Geng Xiao, I suspect the owner of this barbecue restaurant has changed. The food isn't as good as before. How about we find a beautiful place with clear water and bring our own grill and ingredients? It's more fun to cook it ourselves. What do you think? Choose a place that's close enough that we can go back and forth on the same day. Wen Ying can go there too!"

They were all friends who grew up together. As soon as Wang Shuang raised his tail, Geng Xiao knew that Wang Shuang had bad intentions.
