Chapter 49: Tang Xiaoyu’s Surprise
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From the mont she left the coffee house until she boarded a bus, Pei Ge was still trying to figure out Liu Yue’s real intention.
Why would she disappear for so long and then return to give her that lengthy apology?
However, throughout the bus journey, and even when she reached ho, Pei Ge could still not understand the whole situation.
Seeing that there was no end to it, Pei Ge decided to stop thinking about the matter altogether.
“Don’t think about it; don’t think about it. Besides, she’s no longer working in the office.”
Determined to not think about the matter anymore, Pei Ge switched on her computer to watch her favorite Arican TV drama, ‘Fight on, Julia!’, which she had not done in a while, and took out a bag of unopened chips from her bedside cabinet’s drawer.
Ka cha, ka cha! Pei Ge ate the chips as she watched the show.
“Julia, actually there is sothing I have kept from you. Your father’s death is not just what it seems—”
At that crucial mont, Pei Ge stared unblinkingly at the screen, without eating the chips, as she waited anxiously for the next scene.
Who knew that the drama would stop at that exciting part where the supporting actor was about to reveal the secret to the stunned female lead?
Ka da! The chips in Pei Ge’s hands were accidentally crushed to pieces.
Damn, cliffhanger! What a scam!
Upon seeing that no more new episodes were available for this particular Arican TV drama, Pei Ge felt so depressed that she almost sent a mail to the company responsible for producing it to hurry their release.
“Another week of waiting.” Pei Ge closed the webpage unhappily.
Feeling frustrated over the drama, Pei Ge decided to go to bed early. This was when her phone rang.
Once she saw who the caller was, she happily answered the phone, “Hello, Xiaoyu!”
“Stupid, Ge Ge! If I don’t call you, will you not rember to call ?!” Tang Xiaoyu’s voice ca through the phone with a hint of hurt.
“Of – Of course not!” Pei Ge imdiately denied, saying, “In fact, I was just about to call you!”
“Heh heh, were you really?” Tang Xiaoyu asked, full of doubt.
“Of course! I just finished watching ‘Fight on, Julia!’ and was really about to call you!” Pei Ge replied rather loudly to mask the guilt she was feeling inside.
Alright, she had really been neglecting her best friend lately!
“Heh! I’ll believe you this one ti, then,” Tang Xiaoyu said softly before adding, “Oh, right. You told before that you had gotten promoted and had received a salary increase. Any sparks flying between you and that CEO?”
At Tang Xiaoyu’s transition to her gossiping mood, Pei Ge promptly told her everything.
“No. I’m so smart; he won’t be able to recognize !” Pei Ge replied smugly as she proceeded to tell her best friend what she had been up to recently.
On that note, she also shared about that matter concerning Liu Yue.
“Damn! I knew that there’s sothing fishy about that Liu Yue! Indeed, she’s a scheming one!” Tang Xiaoyu remarked in anger, completely forgetting about that incident involving the CEO.
“Alright, alright. She already received her payback and got fired,” Pei Ge pacified her.
For Pei Ge, Liu Yue was already part of the past and she did not want to waste any more energy thinking of her.
“You! Don’t be so stupid next ti. Seriously, you’re already this old, yet you’re still making worry all the ti,” Tang Xiaoyu scolded Pei Ge out of concern.
“Mhm, mhm, mhm, I know!” Pei Ge broke into a wide smile. This was what a true friend was!
“No, I’m still worried about you!” Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was still full of worry. “Such a pity that I’m still busy with work here and can’t return ho anyti soon.”
“Don’t worry so much about ; I’m actually doing quite well in my current company! Not only does my imdiate superior like , my salary also increases very fast!” Pei Ge assured Tang Xiaoyu in a relaxed manner.
“Stupid! I’m not worried about your work. Don’t I know how smart you are? After all, I was forever in second place because of you when we were in school.” Tang Xiaoyu laughed as she recalled about their past.
At Tang Xiaoyu’s words, Pei Ge started laughing as well.
Their friendship was nothing short of a miracle.
Both of them ca from influential families, had good looks, and topped their studies… Simply put, they were natural-born leaders among their peers. However, coincidentally, the two of them had always been in the sa class since kindergarten.
Tang Xiaoyu had high pride but, at every exam, no matter how hard she studied, she always lost to Pei Ge.
Even in human relations, Pei Ge was more popular than her.
Thus, if one asked Tang Xiaoyu who she hated the most, she would definitely say, “Pei Ge.”
“Yes! I still rember how we would go ho together after school under our classmates’ fearful gazes. One even told not to play with you because you definitely had bad intentions.” Pei Ge laughed.
“He he! Tell who that idiot was! How dare he disturb our perfect relationship?!”
Pei Ge began to reminisce the better days before her father’s accident and before their family business went bankrupt with Tang Xiaoyu.
“I still rember how I saw the news and decided to support a Chinese who was studying overseas and you were especially against it.” Pei Ge was suddenly reminded of that Chinese student she had helped in primary school.
Pei Ge had supported him until her family business went bankrupt and she could no longer fund his studies.
“Oh, yeah, Ge Ge! I almost forgot; I called today to say that the thing I sent you a few days ago should reach you by tomorrow,” Tang Xiaoyu inford her while giggling.
Pei Ge blinked curiously and asked, “What did you send ?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow! It’s a surprise!” Tang Xiaoyu teased.
Pei Ge conversed with Tang Xiaoyu for quite a while, and when she finally hung up the phone, which had gone warm from their long talk, she discovered that it was almost 11 P.M.
A quick wash later, Pei Ge drifted into dreamland with a smile.
Tonight, she dread of the past, those blissful days when her father was still alive….
