661: Chapter 660: What a Coincidence!
Yang Wanng promptly recognized ng Xiangzi and exclaid, “Xiangzi!
So you were here all along!
I went looking for you in the back!”
As she spoke, her puzzled gaze swept over Lin Xia and Hao Xiaoyun, puzzled as to why ng Xiangzi would be chatting with them.
“You were looking for ?” ng Xiangzi laughed as she realized, “No wonder I didn’t see you!”
She seed still imrsed in the surprise of the mont, excitedly saying, “Wanng!
Can you believe it?
My brother is college classmates with Lin Xia’s brother!
They even share the sa dorm room!
Who would’ve thought that we’d run into each other here!”
“Oh my goodness!
That is such a coincidence!” Could it really be this coincidental?
Feeling secretly relieved, Yang Wanng was glad that she hadn’t shared any gossip about Lin Xia due to her concern about eting ng Xiangzi for the first ti.
Otherwise, if ng Xiangzi ntioned it to Lin Xia, how would they ever get along living on different floors of the sa building?
ng Xiangzi nodded with a smile, “Yes!
We were just talking about that!
It’s really such a coincidence!”
With the addition of Yang Wanng, the conversation quickly beca dominated by her and ng Xiangzi.
anwhile, Lin Xia and Hao Xiaoyun spoke very little while looking after Li Haoran.
Li Haoran yawned and tugged at Hao Xiaoyun’s sleeve, “Mom!
I’m sleepy!”
Their school had finally given them a day off for National Day, and he had spent a small eternity playing with his buddies in the courtyard during the day.
After dinner, they went to see the performance, and now that it had ended, his energy was rapidly dwindling.
Hao Xiaoyun nodded lightly to indicate she understood and then turned to Lin Xia and ng Xiangzi, “Umm…
you guys keep chatting, my child is sleepy, so I’ll take him ho first!”
ng Xiangzi’s smile didn’t falter, “Alright!
Sister-in-law!
You better take the kid ho quickly then!”
Having nothing much to say to ng Xiangzi and desiring to leave herself, Lin Xia said, “It’s getting late, I should go back too!”
But ng Xiangzi pulled her back with enthusiasm, “Lin Xia!
Don’t go just yet!
I don’t have anything else after the performance, and now that I’ve run into you here, why don’t we catch up for a bit longer?”
Since ng Xiangzi had put it that way, Lin Xia found it difficult to refuse outright, “Okay!”
Hao Xiaoyun left with her child, but Yang Wanng did not depart.
Since learning of ng Xiangzi’s family background, she had been keen on establishing a good rapport with her.
Now, with ng Xiangzi’s brother and Lin Xia’s brother being classmates, there lay a connection that made it hard not to get along well.
Given that Lin Xia was in business, she surely had the gift of gab!
In just a few words, she might win ng Xiangzi over, and the two of them could beco good friends.
Therefore, Yang Wanng felt the need to stay and observe how things unfolded.
Yang Wanng inquired with concern, “Xiangzi!
When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow!
We have to rush to another place for a performance!”
“That must be really exhausting!”
“Yes!
But we all enjoy this kind of exhaustion!
When we see that everyone loves our performance, no matter how hard or tired we are, we relish it!”
Yang Wanng showered her with a few complints.
ng Xiangzi smiled faintly; she wasn’t particularly interested in chatting with Yang Wanng—her main target was Lin Xia.
“Lin Xia!
How many years have you been married to your husband?” ng Xiangzi covered her mouth and chuckled, her smile not reaching her eyes, “You wouldn’t know, when I saw you in Xiangnan’s dorm room, I thought you were unmarried!”
“Almost a year now!”
For so reason, Lin Xia didn’t feel much excitent in eting ng Xiangzi, even at this reunion.
Moreover, she always felt that ng Xiangzi’s eyes, despite being smiley, were inscrutable, and her deanor seed overly deliberate, lacking sincerity.
It was as though this person was not usually like this, but at this mont, she was talking to her with a mask on.
Therefore, she didn’t quite like ng Xiangzi!
Just then, Lu Zheng and Guo Dawei walked over from sowhere else.
ng Xiangzi suppressed the excitent and joy in her heart; she hadn’t expected Lu Zheng to appear, this was indeed an unexpected delight!
But she could only hold back all her emotions now, pretending to examine him like a stranger.
Guo Dawei greeted Lin Xia and Yang Wanng with a cheerful laugh, his gaze lingering on ng Xiangzi particularly a couple more tis in the end.
Lu Zheng’s eyes skimd indifferently over ng Xiangzi and Yang Wanng, and he quickly stepped to Lin Xia’s side, the corners of his mouth lifting in pleasure, “Wife!
Waiting for ?
Didn’t I say I’m on duty tonight?”
Lin Xia smiled, “I know!
Just chatting with an acquaintance for a bit!”
“Hm?” Lu Zheng looked at ng Xiangzi curiously, unable to guess how his wife knew soone from the theater troupe.
Lin Xia introduced them, “This is my husband, Lu Zheng!
This lady is the sister of Dongzi’s college classmate, ng Xiangzi!”
ng Xiangzi quickly raised a perfectly appropriate smile, striving to present her best side, “Hello!”
Lu Zheng nodded indifferently and uttered a hello, by way of greeting.
He lowered his voice to Lin Xia, “Go back early and get so sleep!
Deal with those things tomorrow!”
It was already late, and he was worried that Lin Xia wouldn’t sleep upon returning.
Lin Xia obediently agreed, “Okay!
I got it!
Make sure you cover yourself well with the blanket tonight!” As to whether or not to deal with it, it was still up to her to decide.
“Rest assured!
Go ahead and chat!
I’m leaving,” Lu Zheng said before lifting his foot to leave, with Guo Dawei glancing back at ng Xiangzi before quickly following.
ng Xiangzi, who had previously pretended to fiddle with her dress hem while listening to their conversation, now strained to hear every word.
When she heard how sweet their interaction was, she clenched her teeth tightly, managing to control the resentnt that surged in her heart.
Why was Lu Zheng so tender and soft-spoken when facing Lin Xia?
In her past life, he had never treated her like that!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have, due to her young age and instability, felt that she couldn’t get love or care from him, and then have…
After Lu Zheng left, ng Xiangzi had no more interest in continuing to chat with Lin Xia.
After exchanging a few hasty words, the three of them parted ways.
Lin Xia and Yang Wanng headed back ho to their apartnt block together.
ng Xiangzi, weighed down by her thoughts, went to change her clothes; she had seen the coldness and inaccessibility in Lin Xia, so clearly, her plan to get to know and approach Lu Zheng through Lin Xia was not going to work.
Especially after she had seen the affectionate couple that Lin Xia and Lu Zheng appeared to be, she couldn’t face Lin Xia calmly anymore.
But it was not easy for her to co all this way; she couldn’t just leave like that, right?
As ng Xiangzi walked and pondered, a sudden inspiration flashed across her mind…
After dealing with so matters, Lu Zheng and Guo Dawei headed towards the office building, suddenly noticing soone sitting on the ground not far ahead.
Guo Dawei switched on his flashlight and shone it in that direction, asking in a deep voice, “What’s wrong?”
ng Xiangzi shielded her eyes from the glaring light, her voice filled with pain as she replied, “I’m ng Xiangzi from the theater troupe!
I accidentally twisted my ankle!”
Lu Zheng and Guo Dawei quickly walked over to her side.
Guo Dawei blinked, recognizing the beautiful girl—it was the person who was talking to his sister-in-law and the others earlier.
He instinctively looked at Lu Zheng.
