—You make it sound so simple! What if I, a weak woman, encounter a robber who tries to abduct a child and has a knife?
[Are you a weak woman?]
Qiao Nansheng: ...
Thinking of that pervert from last time, she felt inexplicably guilty. Han Ye seemed to have asked her the same question that day.
But she was both in the wrong and defiant—"I'm a woman, after all. Wouldn't I be afraid of a knife or something?"
[It's just a knife. Compared to divorcing Zhou Cheng before winning all his affection and love, and then having to go back to the (domineering CEO) world and experience it all again because Zhou Cheng has turned evil, which is more terrifying?]
—I really think you're not my fan, you like Zhou Cheng.
[If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do.]
Quotes from a scumbag.
Qiao Nansheng was speechless for a moment.
—Okay, okay, okay, okay!
…
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the place where Tang Xuerou had arranged to meet, in front of the "Xiaoban" coffee shop.
Qiao Nansheng opened the car door and got out. "You go back first. I'll come back by myself later."
Sheng Zhuo nodded and turned to leave.
Tang Xuerou sat by the window, her eyes fixed on the view outside.
Seeing the car with the license plate number she knew by heart parked on the side of the road, and watching Qiao Nansheng get out of the car, she felt an indescribable bitterness and jealousy.
Some people are born noble, and everything they do goes smoothly. They can get what others want but can't get even with great effort, without having to work hard.
Just like Qiao Nansheng, she has a good family background, good looks, and good luck.
Some people are born ordinary and lowly, and no matter how hard they try, they can't get what they want. They can only spend their whole lives in resentment and jealousy.
Like myself, I've always been someone who looks up to and envies others.
Tang Xuerou thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile, staring at Qiao Nansheng's figure as he walked inside, her eyes extremely cold.
One day!
One day, she will get everything she wants, both fame and fortune.
She just needs an opportunity.
…
It rained last night, and the ground was wet. After getting out of the car, Qiao Nansheng took a few steps and accidentally stepped into a puddle.
Her new white sneakers were stained with dirty water, and her white dress was also dirty. Qiao Nansheng looked down at the stains on her white sneakers and dress, and her slight obsession with cleanliness made her feel a pang of sadness.
I really want to take off my clothes and change or wash them, but she's outside.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Nansheng pretended not to see and strode straight to the coffee shop.
Standing at the door, Qiao Nansheng closed her umbrella and was about to go inside when she suddenly heard someone call her from behind.
"Nan Sheng." It was a very gentle voice.
She turned around and saw a tall, unfamiliar man in a dark trench coat walking towards her with an umbrella.
The man had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were curved, as if they contained countless stars.
"Long time no see. What brings you here today?" The man walked up the steps to close his umbrella, and in his haste, he accidentally splashed a few drops onto her face.
"Feel sorry."
He quickly pulled out a tissue from his bag and reached out to wipe it off for her, but Qiao Nansheng took two steps back, creating some distance between them. "No need, I can do it myself."
The man's outstretched hand froze mid-air, his smile faltered, and he withdrew his hand after a moment.
He said, "I was being presumptuous."
Qiao Nansheng glanced at him, her brows furrowing slightly, but ultimately said nothing. After all, she wasn't the Qiao Nansheng of the past, and she didn't know how to get along with this senior. Saying too much would definitely expose her true feelings.
So Qiao Nansheng turned around and went inside. She looked around and found Tang Xuerou's location. She walked over to her.
Tang Xuerou had already composed herself before Qiao Nansheng came in. She smiled and watched Qiao Nansheng approach, teasingly saying, "You've finally arrived. If you hadn't come, I would have called the police to see if you were lost or missing."
Qiao Nansheng pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her.
Seeing the smile on Tang Xuerou's face, she felt a pang of discomfort.
In "The Domineering CEO," Tang Xuerou likes to smile like that to herself. She often says that they are best friends, but would best friends covet someone else's husband?
Because in that book she was the female lead, it was only natural for her to steal someone else's husband and scheme against them, but this book is different.
Now that I am the protagonist, if Tang Xuerou is still the same as before, everything she does, whether with good intentions or malice, will be just like the character in that book.
"Nansheng, why aren't you saying anything?" Tang Xuerou's voice came, pulling Qiao Nansheng back from her reverie.
She looked up at Tang Xuerou and thought to herself, "It's just laughing. Anyone can do that. I can laugh at Zhou Cheng. What are you afraid of?"
She smiled at Tang Xuerou and said, "I was thinking about something and didn't hear you. Did you order anything?"
"Not yet." Tang Xuerou shook her head and pushed the menu to her. "Take a look and see what you want to eat. We haven't seen each other for so long, so I'll treat you this time. You can treat me next time."
Qiao Nansheng hummed in agreement, took the menu and looked at it. Wow, many of the dishes on it were her favorites and particularly suited her taste.
She picked up a pen and scribbled something on it: a cup of coffee, a dessert, and some spicy snacks...
Since Tang Xuerou said she would pay, Qiao Nansheng didn't stand on ceremony.
Seeing that she had sketched five or six things and showed no sign of stopping, Tang Xuerou's heart was bleeding; she was in excruciating pain.
She and Qiao Nansheng are both kindergarten teachers, but they don't work at the same kindergarten.
She works at a private kindergarten with low wages, and they keep sending her to other schools for training. She doesn't want to go, but the principal insists. The transportation costs are only a dozen yuan a day, and they don't reimburse her. She also has to pay for her own lunch. Her wages are already low, and after all that, she has very little left at the end of the month.
