Chapter 80 Bai Chumeng from God's Perspective
She took out a seashell necklace from a custom-made leather pouch she carried with her.
He said in a muffled voice, "Um... thank you for helping me find the ring and for going back to save me."
"This necklace is made from seashells I found when I went to the beach."
Tu Yao held her phone, looking somewhat surprised.
"Give it to me?"
Cheng Sangsang snorted: "Otherwise, I'll bring them to you to see. Don't think they're cheap. I found and polished each seashell myself. My sister wanted them back then, but I wouldn't give them to her!"
Tu Yao blinked: "Why did you give me this?"
Xu Bai glanced at the necklace: "That's right. Chu Meng said that you used to like to give away gold, pearls and gemstones casually. When you were ten years old, you were bidding against your classmate at an auction for a painting that he liked, and then you gave it to your little follower."
"Why did you give my older sister a string of seashells?"
Cheng Sangsang suddenly choked, then angrily retorted, "What do you know!"
If it were Tu Yao who saved her in the past, she would definitely send her a gold bar.
After all, back then, Tu Yao was so captivated by gold, silver, and jade that he fawned over her every day, desperately wanting to get some good stuff out of her.
But she felt that Tu Yao now... probably wouldn't like those things.
She looked up and glared at him: "You stinky Xu Bai, how dare you talk to me like that? When you were eleven, you destroyed a priceless painting at an art exhibition and had to use up a year's allowance to buy it back! When it comes to spending money, you're way better than me!"
Xu Bai's ears turned red: "How did you know?!"
"That's what Chu Meng said."
Xu Bai felt a surge of annoyance: "Why does she tell you everything?"
Cheng Sangsang muttered, "She tells you everything!"
Thinking of something, Cheng Sangsang said with a regretful look, "My brother originally planned to take me to that art exhibition. If Chumeng hadn't been sick and I hadn't gone to the hospital to see her, I would have been able to laugh at you."
Xu Bai said angrily, "What a coincidence! If Chu Meng hadn't asked me to go sketching at the last minute, I was planning to go to that auction anyway. I should have known better than to go sketching, otherwise I could have witnessed a little curly-haired dog acting like a tyrant!"
Cheng Sangsang immediately exclaimed, "I didn't intentionally rush to take the picture! She's my elementary school classmate. She always calls me a nouveau riche behind my back and calls my dad a tacky rich person. How can I not be angry? So what if I intentionally rushed to take the picture? I even wanted to throw money at her!"
"I didn't destroy the painting on purpose. That day, a madman barged into the second floor of the art exhibition and started fires everywhere. I pushed him and accidentally smashed it!"
Even though he did a good deed, he still took responsibility for the painting in the end, and his grandfather praised him when he got back!
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them suddenly realized something and were both stunned.
"Is...is that so..."
Tu Chaoxi scoffed after hearing this: "This Miss Bai is really interesting; she always speaks so vaguely."
The seven deadly sins of Tu Chaoxi, and the few accusations that have been clarified so far, are all generalizations based on limited information.
"I thought she only treated me like that. Aren't you two her friends? Why is she still only telling me half the story?"
Cheng Sangsang frowned, paused, and said, "...You...don't think you can sow discord between me and Chumeng by saying this."
But as she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer...
Tu Yao held her phone without saying a word. She remembered that there was such a setting in the original work.
The male and female leads seem to be under a curse; wherever the female lead is, the male lead will never appear.
Wherever the male lead goes, even if the female lead was in the same place a second ago, she will leave due to some kind of unexpected accident the next second.
The two will never meet, but they will always hear about each other's "heroic deeds".
She initially thought it was to highlight the dramatic effect of their love-hate relationship.
So, is it actually someone deliberately pushing things along in the middle?
Bai Chumeng...
Tu Yao didn't finish reading the original novel. She only saw that Tu Chaoxi became a huge star, the original owner was kicked out of the house as cannon fodder, and the male and female protagonists entered the entertainment industry to escape an arranged marriage.
The name Bai Chumeng, as the female lead's friend, occasionally appears in the female lead's words, only briefly mentioned in a few insignificant plot points.
Yet this seemingly insignificant character has inadvertently sown discord between the male and female leads, and is now ruining the careers of her brothers.
It's like being in God's viewpoint...
Hey! What are you spacing out for?!
Cheng Sangsang had come to her senses and was clutching the necklace: "Do you still want it?"
Tu Yao thought for a moment, "Wait for me!"
After saying that, he put down his phone and ran into his room, rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
After a while, he ran back and sat down, then opened his hand and handed over a small wooden bird.
"Here, take this."
Cheng Sangsang slightly raised her eyes, puzzled: "...Wasn't I thanking you? Why did you give me something?"
Tu Yao took the necklace: "This is too precious, I have to give you one in return."
"I carved the little bird myself; it's a gift for you."
Cheng Sangsang suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
precious……
She used to give her girlfriends millions of dollars worth of jewels, but none of them ever praised their value.
Tu Xiaomao actually claimed that this string of seashells, which was practically worthless, was precious.
Cheng Sangsang couldn't describe the feeling; it was like an unprecedented sense of fulfillment that filled the emptiness she had just felt.
She stroked the little bird in her hand, pretending to be calm, "Oh, really? Okay then, I'll take it."
This was the first time she had received a return gift after giving away so many things...
Tu Yao touched the necklace in her hand and chuckled.
If only her stepfather had a friendship progress bar, this is it now: progress +20!
Tu Chaoxi and Nan Ke on the screen exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of jealousy in each other's eyes.
Tu Chaoxi's eyes were slightly complicated. So his sister must have some kind of magic power. Even with amnesia, she was doing big things.
Now they're almost rid of the "sycophant" label.
Nan Ke coughed lightly twice: "Have you forgotten about me?"
Tu Yao quickly picked up her phone: "I didn't forget!"
"Second Brother, is there anything else?"
Nan Ke appeared calm, but a hint of unease flickered across her face. After a few seconds of hesitation, she said, "...Mr. Cormier has reserved two tickets for your concert next month. Would you like to come?"
Tu Yao nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"
Nan Ke smiled with his eyes lowered: "It's like this, Mr. Cormier gave me a solo opportunity at this concert. I have an original piece that I would like to invite you and my brother to listen to."
Tu Yao looked at the plate of fragrant osmanthus cakes. "Can I have another one? I'd like to invite my friend to listen too."
"Of course, I'll mail the tickets to you later."
After hanging up the video call, Tu Yao prepared to continue writing her business plan while holding the osmanthus cake.
Tu Chaoxi pulled him back.
"Wait a minute, there are reporters interviewing remotely about the orphanage incident. Although some people are already being interviewed, the director said he might call you later."
Hmm?
Interview?
Tu Yao was taken aback: "Then who's being interviewed right now?"
Tu Chaoxi remained silent.
Tu Yao subconsciously scanned the list, eliminating them one by one.
His brother, Xu Bai, Cheng Sangsang, and she are all here.
Jiang Ye and Wen Yu are not talkative, and it has little to do with this matter.
Tu Yao blinked, and the next second, her face filled with horror:
"Teacher Ma, who acted bravely and righteously???"
