Meng Rou has always been an arrogant person. Even when she cares about someone, her words are always barbed, making it hard to be happy. Most people who truly understand her don't mind the barbs in her words, but over time, their feelings for her fade, and they stop paying much attention to her.
Meng Rou never changed herself because of other people's opinions; she continued to live arrogantly as before.
When she saw Lu Qingyan, she naturally thought of Lu Qingyan's sister Jiang Qiqi, whom she hated so much, and she also gave Lu Qingyan a cold look.
"You're really overthinking it. I'm still my parents' biological child. Why would they send me abroad? You're thinking about yourself, aren't you?" Lu Qingyan looked at Meng Rou with pity, secretly shaking her head in her heart.
Meng Rou's family situation is very complicated. Her mother was her father's first wife, but the two had no feelings for each other. So after her mother passed away, her father quickly brought back the illegitimate child who was older than Meng Rou and made that woman his official wife.
Therefore, Meng Rou, who was neglected, became somewhat extreme, turning into a hedgehog that hid her softness.
The two didn't have much of a relationship to begin with. Whether Meng Rou saw Jiang Ranran or Lu Qingyan, she did her best to ridicule and satirize them, hoping that Lu Qingyan would give her psychological counseling and help her get rid of her psychological shadow.
"Jiang Tian!" Lu Qingyan caught sight of a familiar figure and ran towards it. "Jiang Tian, wait for me!"
"Ranran?" The person on the other end of the line was surprised for a moment, then laughed, "I was wondering why I heard someone calling me from behind. Oh, it's you!"
This is Jiang Tian, a friend of Lu Qingyan from abroad. Coincidentally, they are from the same country and the same city, and even share the same surname.
However, Jiang Tian returned a year earlier than Lu Qingyan, and they hadn't been in contact for quite some time.
“I happen to have nothing to do, let’s find a place to sit for a while,” Jiang Tian said, pulling Lu Qingyan into a coffee shop.
Lu Qingyan: ...
I don't want to drink coffee after just having milk tea.
Jiang Tian smiled at Lu Qingyan and said, "Please sit down first."
Lu Qingyan nodded and sat down opposite her, looking at this senior who was a year ahead of her. It had been almost a year since they last met, and Jiang Tian seemed to have changed little.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jiang Tian called over the waiter.
Lu Qingyan shook her head: "Same as you, right?"
Jiang Tian looked at the waiter and said casually, "Two caramel macchiatos."
The waiter was a young man with delicate features. When he came to take the order, he clearly ordered ginger dessert, but he glanced at Lu Qingyan a few more times. Lu Qingyan noticed his gaze and politely nodded and smiled at him, causing his face to turn red instantly.
After the waiter left, Jiang Tian jokingly teased Lu Qingyan with a smile: "Junior, it seems your charm is as good as ever."
As she spoke, Jiang Tian looked at Lu Qingyan with a puzzled expression: "By the way, where is your boyfriend Qiu Chen? Why didn't he come out shopping with you? Are you alone?"
“He’s busy spending time with other people,” Lu Qingyan shrugged helplessly. “So I came to play by myself.”
"He cheated on me?" Jiang Tian blinked and asked, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"You're happy?" Lu Qingyan looked coldly at the person in front of her. Sure enough, close friends often end up hurting each other; forget about any real friendship.
