Chapter 13. Warning! Too much love
Although Ruan Tang has some age advantage compared to Xu Wei, she also reached the point where she would get swollen the next day after eating heavy food.
Early in the morning, Ruan Tang ordered a glass of thick iced American coffee. After drinking it, the swelling was mostly gone and her eyes began to shine.
She simply cleaned the room from inside to outside, and found the white shirt that Feng Xue lent her in the laundry basket.
While sorting out the spoils of the past few years, Ruan Tang suddenly had an idea for the soft furnishings of the cafe. She happily washed Feng Xue's white shirt and went to the tavern with a bunch of things.
Feng Xue's motorcycle was parked at the door of the tavern. Ruan Tang got out of the taxi, carrying a large box half a person's height and staggeringly walked in.
"Come and help me quickly. By the way, I washed your shirt and brought it to you."
Ruan Tang rushed into the store holding a cardboard box. In the past, if Feng Xue was here at this time, he would be cleaning and organizing the ingredients in the store. He would always greet her the first time she entered the door, but today there was silence and no response at all.
Ruan Tang put down the cardboard box with great effort, and a woman's back suddenly came into her sight. Feng Xue was sitting opposite her, and she glanced at Ruan Tang a few times, with an anxious look that seemed difficult to explain.
"Huanhuan, don't misunderstand me, she is..."
The woman glanced back at Ruan Tang, then turned to look at Feng Xue and said: You don't have to tell me this. I came here today just to tell you not to use various methods to inquire about me, and not to disturb my life anymore. Thank you.
After the woman finished speaking, she grabbed the canvas bag beside her and was about to walk out. Ruan Tang could see her appearance clearly now. She had a round face with slightly blunt lines, a small and upturned nose, and thin and delicate lips. She looked sweet but cold.
Ruan Tang grabbed Feng Xue and asked: I'm sorry, I didn't know... How about I go with you to explain to her?
"No need." He broke free from Ruan Tang's hand and ran after her.
As soon as they left the house, Wu Jiahao came out of the bathroom. He glanced at the empty seat and followed them out.
Ruan Tang frowned, suddenly remembering the strange reaction of Wu Jiahao when he saw her and Feng Xue rolling around together after she got drunk on the night the tavern opened.
It was as if I suddenly understood something.
"I've really fallen headfirst into a love trap." Ruan Tang sighed and took out the treasures she cherished from the cardboard box.
In the business plan, Xu Wei gave several directions and reference cases, such as nostalgic style, Baroque style, southern French style... But now she wants to create a unique and extravagant style belonging to Ruan Tang.
During a break from setting up, Ruan Tang slumped in a chair, scrolling through her phone. She saw an update on Xu Wei's WeChat official account: "Why is love a forbidden zone in relationships between men and women on social media?" Two hours after its update, it had garnered over 100,000 views. Ruan Tang clicked on the article and, sure enough, read the story of her encounter with the netizen who posted the bird photo in the sales hall.
In the comments, a group of people asked about the follow-up of the encounter with the netizen who had flirted with them. Ruan Tang frowned while drinking the waste coffee and smiled happily.
She took a photo of the store's interior and sent it to Xu Wei, saying: You must post on Weibo saying that this is the cafe opened by your friend who received the bird photo, and tell them that if they are interested they can come offline to hear about the follow-up, otherwise I will report you for infringement.
Not long after, Feng Xue and Wu Jiahao came back. Judging from their expressions, they probably didn't catch up with their white moonlight. Judging from the fact that they each chose a table to sit down, their relationship must be quite tense now.
"Miss Ruan, do you have any wine?" Wu Jiahao suddenly asked.
Ruan Tang glanced at Feng Xue and seeing that he didn't move, she nodded and said: I'll give it to you.
After Wu Jiahao guzzled down two glasses of wine, Feng Xue couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up, walked over, snatched the glass from his hand, and said in a deep voice: Stop showing off here.
Wu Jiahao sneered: Feng Xue, I thought you were the winner, but I didn’t expect you were also a loser. Haha, we are both losers!
Feng Xue directly poured a glass of wine into the cup and drank it, saying helplessly: Jiahao, I know you blame me.
"I don't blame you. I only blame myself for not confessing to her earlier, allowing you to take the lead. I thought you would compensate her well when you came out, but what about you? What did you do?" Wu Jiahao said, glancing at Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang couldn't help but want to pinch her Ren Zhong. She kept telling herself in her heart that she should just pretend that she was watching the filming of an old Qiong Yao drama.
Feng Xue said: This matter has nothing to do with others. I know she hates me and may never accept me again in this life. I have thought about it, if you two can succeed, I will accept it.
Wu Jiahao smiled bitterly: "Accept? Feng Xue, who do you think she is? You can give her to me if you don't want her anymore? Have you ever considered her feelings?"
The two of them were still arguing with each other, and Ruan Tang felt a headache listening to them. Just then, Xu Wei arrived.
As soon as she walked in, she saw several rows of bags, perfumes, jewelry and even shoes on the display cabinets in the store. Xu Wei rubbed her temples and said to Ruan Tang: I feel like I'm at the filming site of the knockoff Tiny Times.
Ruan Tang suddenly felt that the bloody nature of this story was actually very consistent with Tiny Times, and some coincidences of fate made her smile knowingly.
After she finished speaking, she noticed Feng Xue and Wu Jiahao sitting at the table in the corner of the store. She quickly turned to look at Ruan Tang behind the counter and looked for help.
Ruan Tang understood and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and said: You need to give me some more advice on soft furnishings, so it’s a good opportunity for us to go to the furniture store to have a look.
Ruan Tang took Xu Wei's hand and went out, saying coquettishly: You don't know that the air in there just now was so bad that it made me dizzy after just one breath. When I first came here this morning, Feng Xue's ex-wife was also there. A room full of infatuated men and resentful women, it was really poisonous. It seems that I am really allergic to love.
"So this is true." Xu Wei muttered to herself.
Ruan Tang asked: Did you say that Wu Jiahao likes Feng Xue’s ex-wife?
Xu Wei was surprised: Feng Xue even told you this?
Ruan Tang shook her head and sighed: "That's all. Let's go to heaven for a visit." Seeing Xu Wei looking at her with a strange look, she asked: "Don't you still owe a lot of credit card debt?"
"I was a little dizzy just now because of their intense emotions. I need to go to the material world to calm down. Besides, I'm just looking at it, not buying it." Ruan Tang explained, and had already taken Xu Wei's phone to call a taxi. "Consider the fare as the copyright fee for my story."
Xu Wei sneered and said: Then I won’t post it on Weibo.
Ruan Tang quickly denied: That won’t do. You have used me as material for many years. Isn’t it time for me to give back?
Xu Wei was basically used to her superficially white, rich, and beautiful behavior. She glanced back at the tavern, suddenly remembered, and asked: "Why did you move all your things into the store? Aren't you afraid they'll get lost?"
Ruan Tang winked at her mysteriously and said: This is my original creation of the common people's version of the extravagant style. You see, our store is located in an alley in a residential area. It would be very harmonious if it had a nostalgic style. The way I am doing the soft decoration now is to highlight the contrast.
However, in just a few months, his market value seemed to have plummeted.
Ruan Tang couldn't help feeling sad when she saw those graceful figures walking around in the big-name stores, most of whom were accompanied by a man with his hands full of shopping bags.
Xu Wei happened to see Chanel had a new bag and pulled Ruan Tang in to try it on. Ruan Tang stood aside bored.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and gently patted her shoulder: "Ruan Tang? Is that you?"
Hearing this opening remark, Ruan Tang felt her scalp tingling.
