Ji Delu and Ji Liang walked away. Not long after they left, he glanced back and said casually, "Are your girlfriend and Mrs. Xiaomu classmates?"
"Yeah, I also found out about it a while ago. Haha, I didn't expect that Master Mu has such a light taste. But this is my chance to get in touch with the Mu family."
Ji Delu glanced at him, lowered his head, and then curled his lips in disdain. When the two left, Mu Shicang was not far away. He glanced at their backs, raised the corners of his mouth vaguely, and a cunning and gloomy light flashed in his eyes.
Yang Shushu said that she didn't know Qi Zhuzhu, but Qi Zhuzhu was the original body's only friend from their school days. When they were together, they mostly reminisced about some memories from their school days, some of which Yang Shushu didn't know at all, and the memories left by the original body were not complete.
"Shushu, do you still remember Mingmin?" Qi Zhuzhu suddenly asked.
Yang Shushu was stunned. Mingmin? Who?
Seeing her expression, Qi Zhuzhu knew she had forgotten. She didn't make a fuss and gave her the answer directly: "It was the senior girl who was a year older than you and had a crush on Ling Xiao in high school and caused trouble for you several times."
Yang Shushu tilted her head and thought for a moment, finally digging out this vague memory. She nodded dazedly, "It seems there was such a person. What happened?"
"I think I saw her just now, with Ling Xiao. Oh, you and Ling Xiao... I saw the news not long ago..."
"Oh, that thing? That's nonsense. Do I look like I'm going to commit suicide?"
Qi Zhuzhu looked at her carefully. She didn't look like that now, but if she talked about her previous personality, it might not be the case.
"Are you still in touch with Ling Xiao?"
"We met not long ago, but we don't keep in touch normally. What's in the past is in the past. There's no point in keeping in touch."
"That's good. Mingmin has liked Ling Xiao since they were in school, and she hasn't changed. You know Ling Xiao is still in contact with you, and you never know what he'll do to you. Her mother married a wealthy old man a few years ago, and she's considered a member of the upper class now. You might have more chances to meet in the future, so be careful."
When talking about Mingmin, Qi Zhuzhu's face was full of disdain. Yang Shushu vaguely remembered that when they were in school, Qi Zhuzhu did get along very well with a senior schoolmate. Not only did she help her, but there seemed to be something dirty going on between the two of them.
"You seem to hate her, why?"
"Don't you hate her?" Qi Zhuzhu asked her in surprise.
"I don't even remember who she is. What's so annoying about her?"
Hearing his words, Qi Zhuzhu laughed: "Haha, after not seeing you for a few years, Shushu, you really have changed. Your words 'I don't remember' are really hurtful to her."
After a pause, Qi Zhuzhu continued, "She's narrow-minded and has an abnormally strong self-esteem. To put it bluntly, she's extremely self-deprecating. The only time I had a feud with her was when she was pursuing me until I started school. As you know, I was always gossiped about by girls because of my appearance. If I walked with a boy, the next day there would be rumors that we were pregnant. One time, when relatives came to visit, we couldn't accommodate them, so I sent my older cousin and younger cousin to a nearby hotel to rest. She saw us, and the next day, the story spread back to school, with all kinds of nasty things said about you. It seemed like you were sick and didn't come to school during that time. Although you clarified it later, the grudge was already formed."
Yang Shushu nodded, and had a preliminary understanding of Mingmin, a woman, but her original body only remembered being pushed down by her at the school gate several times, and she could not even see her appearance clearly.
The two chatted for a while. Qi Zhuzhu had a lively and straightforward personality, and Yang Shushu liked her quite a bit, so she accepted this friend.
However, Qi Zhuzhu was not like her. She was very strict about her figure. After sitting for such a long time, she only ate a small piece of cake, while Yang Shushu had already finished everything on the plate she brought. The food was exquisitely prepared, and she ate a lot, but she didn't feel that it took up much space.
So she took the plate and went back to the dining area.
In such occasions, there were very few people who actually ate. Yang Shushu was one of them. She filled her plate again and was about to go back. When she turned around, she almost bumped into someone. When she looked up, she saw Ling Xiaoru's eyes that seemed to speak a thousand words.
Because she just heard Qi Zhuzhu say that he was here today, she didn't seem surprised. She just smiled and said hello: "Brother Ling, what a coincidence."
After saying that, she carried the things, walked around a bit, and prepared to pass Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao has always had a gentle personality, and his personality is contagious. He is like a stream of water. It would be very comfortable to stay with such a person, but she would unconsciously think from the perspective of the original body, and feel that Ling Xiao is unworthy of the original body's infatuation and trust. It cannot be said that he does not like the original body, but maybe his love is not enough.
Just like when he had to leave for something, he should have told Yang Shushu in person that even if he couldn't find an opportunity, he should at least treat Yang's father and mother equally. After all, his daughter was leaving with him, and no matter what method he used, he had to do the least.
But in the end, just because he didn't see the Yang family, he just found an outsider to pass on the message, and then disappeared without a trace. Based on the original body's mental state at the time, one can imagine how desperate he would be.
Therefore, Yang Shushu didn't want to forgive Ling Xiao on behalf of her original body yet, but Ling Xiao today seemed a little different from the last time they met.
You can't tell anything from the surface. His formal suit makes him look a lot more serious, but the gentleness between his brows cannot be concealed. His gentleness and harmlessness are different from the one Mu Shicang pretends to be. Moreover, with Mu Shicang's aggressive appearance, he can't achieve this effect no matter how much he pretends.
But today, this warmth seemed to have been added with something, like a gem emitting soft light, which was now covered with a transparent gauze. The light was still there, but there was always a shadow.
Although the original body had saved all the memories about him and taken them away, when she first woke up and watched the original body's revolving lantern, she still had some impression of this person. It seemed that this person was always bright and clear, calm and warm, as if all the kindness in the world was concentrated on him alone.
"Shushu, let's talk." Ling Xiao didn't wait for Yang Shushu to speak, grabbed her hand and walked out of the venue.
Even so, Yang Shushu did not let go of the plate in her hand, but she did not argue with him. It didn't matter where they ate, and it was a good opportunity for her to listen to what Ling Xiao had to say, even though he was so serious.
As her sight moved, she happened to meet a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. When their eyes met hers, those peach blossom eyes slowly narrowed, revealing a dangerous warning. However, she grinned at this moment, with an undisguised provocation.
As the two of them stared at each other from a distance, there was a pair of eyes staring at Yang Shushu's back with resentment. Jealousy and hatred filled the air, making Yang Shushu seem alert to something. She shifted her gaze away from Mu Shicang and turned to the other direction.
