Tong Wen couldn’t fathom it. ng Chuyue and Xia Ping both had sweet love affairs, but she...
What was the reason?
Why did they both have such good luck while hers was only diocre?
The more she thought about it, the stranger she found ng Chuyue.
Wasn’t it true?
If ng Chuyue had been willing to bring her own parents to develop their lives in the Imperial, would she have ended up so foolishly setting her sights on Song Enshu and consequently getting entangled with Yun Si?
Tong Wen used to rely resent ng Chuyue, but now that resentnt had transford into hate.
Although ng Chuyue knew of the despicable things Tong Wen did, Xia Ping and Song Enshu were unaware.
When they heard from Zhao Xiaoxin that Tong Wen was alone in the private room, they eagerly went to find her, all smiles.
Tong Wen felt extrely awkward inside.
But she could only pretend to be calm and perfunctorily smiled as she chatted with them.
Xia Ping still wanted to be as close as before, preferring to talk while holding one of Tong Wen’s arms. After exchanging so pleasantries with a smile, she said to Tong Wen, "Did Chuyue tell you about it? She said there was a suitable small shop, and she wanted you to ask your parents if they would like to co over."
Tong Wen, "..."
Heh, after such a massive mistake, what was the use of her parents coming over now?
Her heart was full of hatred, yet her face bore an appropriate smile, "Why would she suddenly talk about this?"
Her voice was innocent, but the bitterness was palpable. Her true aning was: Why not speak of it earlier? It’s not like you weren’t capable before; why didn’t you ntion it then?
Xia Ping completely missed the awkwardness in Tong Wen, cheerily responding, "It’s because of . A few days ago, your mom, Auntie, tried to call you and didn’t get through, so she called instead. We chatted for a bit."
"Auntie asked how my parents were doing, and I said they were really well, people good and business good. I asked Auntie why your family doesn’t co to Imperial to develop, and she said she wanted to but had no one to lead them. She also ntioned that she envied that Brother Ci and I are relatives, which allowed my parents and family to be brought over by him."
"I imdiately explained to Auntie that it was us who asked Brother Ci to bring us over. At that ti, Brother Ci even said, if there are any friends’ families who want to co over, they would help, but they wouldn’t actively invite everyone because not everything is certain. Moving here doesn’t guarantee a good life, and they did not want to bear that responsibility. However, they would help those who actively asked to co. After hearing this, Auntie imdiately called Yueyue to ask if she would be willing to help them. Yueyue inquired about their intentions and agreed to help them look for a suitable shop for a small business. Yueyue searched for several days, and finally found one yesterday."
As Xia Ping spoke, Song Enshu would occasionally look at her tenderly, his eyes full of adoration.
Tong Wen had always been envious of this, but now she was too out of sorts to feel jealous.
Her mind buzzed with noise.
So, it wasn’t that ng Chuyue didn’t consider her a friend; was she just being too sensitive?
Was it all her fault for not asking ng Chuyue for help?
Indeed, since she had known ng Chuyue, although Chuyue had helped her in many ways, every ti it was Chuyue who took the initiative.
Tong Wen had never asked her for anything.
Had she beco accustod to comfortably taking advantage of others?
Tong Wen felt extrely distressed inside.
She didn’t want to continue staying with Xia Ping and Song Enshu, and hastily stood up, saying, "Ah, I suddenly rembered I have a task from a teacher that I haven’t completed—I need to go. See you later."
With that, Tong Wen left in a rush, taking with her two hundred pounds worth of fruit.
Xia Ping didn’t suspect her words at all, whereas Song Enshu saw that she was behaving strangely, but not knowing why, he did not guess wildly.
Without the third wheel, he couldn’t resist pulling his beloved girl close and indulging in a passionate, lingering kiss.
Since having Xia Ping, Song Enshu felt like a duckweed that had finally found its roots. She was not just his lover, but also his salvation.
Therefore, he beca more cautious in his actions, getting drunk... being sched against, all these were utterly impossible.
