Chapter 349: 【349】Can’t you live without a man?_1
“You knew too?”
Upon hearing Song Lele’s words, Tang Feng was montarily stunned.
He didn’t expect her to be paying attention to matters of the antique circle.
After all, the antique circle was nothing but a niche community, seldom followed by most people.
“Xinling told , otherwise I would have had no idea. Why didn’t you tell so I could go to the scene and cheer you on?” Song Lele’s voice carried a hint of reprimand.
“Haha, you’re a busy person, I was afraid you wouldn’t have ti, so I didn’t tell you.”
Tang Feng made a joke, but to his surprise, Song Lele didn’t speak for a long ti after hearing it.
“Are you… angry? I’m sorry, I was just joking, I just forgot to tell you.” Tang Feng quickly beca nervous and had to explain.
“Big Shot, do you think I don’t asure up as a friend?” Song Lele asked abruptly.
“Ah? Why would you think that? You’re great.”
“Don’t lie to . I know you must feel I’m always mysteriously appearing and disappearing, acting all secretive, right?”
“Honestly, no, you’re overthinking it.”
“Then why did you tell Xu Xinling about the appraiser’s exam, but not ?”
“Uh…”
Tang Feng found himself at a loss for words.
Truth be told, he did feel that Song Lele had many secrets and always seed to keep her distance.
He had known Song Lele longer than he had known Xu Xinling.
But when he had sothing on his mind, he preferred to talk to Xu Xinling rather than Song Lele, about whom he had so reservations.
These were all subconscious actions he hadn’t noticed before.
Now that Song Lele had confronted him about it, he realized it really was like that.
“Heh, I knew it. I deserve not to have any friends, I should just be alone for life.” Song Lele’s tone was laced with a hint of lancholy as she spoke.
“Ale, you…”
Before Tang Feng could finish his question, he heard a loud “bang” on the phone, as if a door had slamd against a wall.
Following that, a woman’s icy voice ca through, “Who are you secretly calling again?”
Last of all, Song Lele hurriedly said, “Big Shot, I have to go,” then hung up the phone.
Tang Feng quickly redialed, but the phone rang on endlessly without answer.
By the ti he tried for the third ti, the phone was already turned off.
This imdiately made him anxious.
When he first t Song Lele, he had scanned her basic information using the system.
However, as the system’s level was quite low at the ti, he could only see very basic information.
Although they had t a few tis since then, he hadn’t used the scanning system on her again, keeping with the principle of not prying into a friend’s privacy.
He only knew that she was living with her sister; beyond that, he knew nothing.
The cold woman’s voice on the phone just now must be her sister, right?
But why did it sound so devoid of warmth, almost enemy-like?
Feeling restless, he had no choice but to call Xu Xinling.
Being Song Lele’s close friend, she certainly knew more.
After listening to him, Xu Xinling rely let out a helpless sigh, “It’s her family business. We shouldn’t ddle, or it will only make things difficult for her.”
Tang Feng too felt that such dostic matters were difficult to interfere with.
You could end up offending everyone.
He simply sighed and continued writing his appraisal report.
…
In Zhonghai, inside a high-end apartnt.
Song Lele sat on her bed like a child who had done sothing wrong, fidgeting with her fingers.
Her sister, Song Huanhuan, stood opposite her with arms folded, adopting the stance of an interrogator, “You’ve been calling that man again? Haven’t I told you not to contact him anymore?”
“He went to the appraiser exam today and got a really good score, so I… called to congratulate him. Is that not allowed?” Song Lele gathered courage to retort.
Song Huanhuan looked at her in disbelief, “Are you actually defying for a man now?”
The courage Song Lele had mustered quickly evaporated, “Sister, I’m not defying you, it’s just… I need friends too. Isn’t it okay to just offer congratulations to a friend?”
“Did I say you couldn’t have friends? Have I ever stopped you from being friends with Xu Xinling? I just want you to stay away from those filthy, disgusting n. Why don’t you listen? Do you think you’d die without a man?”
Song Huanhuan’s words were harsh, and tears started to run uncontrollably down Song Lele’s face.
“Sister, Tang Feng and I are really just ordinary friends, and he’s kind too, not like those n in the family…”
“Shut up!”
The pitch of Song Huanhuan’s voice rose sharply, “I’m warning you for the last ti, no more contact with that man. If I find out again, don’t bla for being rude.”
After saying that, she walked over, took Song Lele’s phone, and left the room.
Song Lele wanted to fight back, but ultimately couldn’t muster the courage and turned to sob into her bed.
Once Song Huanhuan was back in her room, she sneered at the na “Big Shot” in her sister’s call history.
She pulled open a drawer, tossed the phone inside, and then picked up a dossier.
It was detailed information on Tang Feng she had soone investigate.
It included Tang Feng’s family background, educational history, work experience, social circle, and more, listed in ticulous detail.
From this file, Tang Feng’s life for his first twenty-sothing years seed utterly unremarkable.
Just an ordinary guy from an ordinary family, with an average education, job, and social circle—a di a dozen in the streets.
But just a month ago, he had suddenly been invited by Mr. Qin from Ya Garden to work as the chief appraiser at his antique shop.
His fate took a significant turn from there.
A man who had never touched antiques in over twenty years suddenly beca an appraiser?
Furthermore, to score so well in an appraiser exam?
And to be hailed as the “Number One Genius of the Zhonghai Antique Circle”?
With her sharp business acun, she imdiately deduced it was all hyped up.
And likely, the person behind it all was none other than Mr. Qin from Ya Garden.
A man who climbed the ladder thanks to a woman appeared in every respect as a boy-toy living off a woman.
To think she was defied for such a man?
What a fool!
