Chapter 34 To Test…
Ai Li proudly pats her chest: “You’ve found the right person for this matter today. I’ve extensive experience in affairs of the heart, so I can help you to test if he is sincere or a hypocrite!”
I am pleasantly surprised and look at her: “How to test ah?”
Ai Li extends out her slender hand: “Co here, give your mobile phone to .”
I quickly follow suit, pull out my phone and hand it over. Ai Li briefly flips through the phone book. Then she very decisively calls Lu Jun’s number. I am scared until I get cold sweats: “What are you doing?”
Ai Li casts a glance at and full of confident tells : “You need not bother about anything. Afterwards, just tell him your current location.”
The phone has already been picked up before I’ve ti to ask further. I quickly sit upright and nervously giggle at the phone: “Heehee, general manager!”
His voice is low and calm: “What’s up?”
I glance at Ai Li and pretend to say in a relaxed tone: “Nothing important, I just want to talk to you.”
He sounds calm: “Like this ah …… then you talk la, I am listening.”
I did not expect him to be so cunning to counter attack . Could it be that he so fast already realized the purpose of my call is not so simple? When I am hesitating and do not know what to say, Ai Li winks at . I recall what she told just now, so I quickly get straight to the point by saying: “I am in the city centre bus station.”
Lu Jun asks in a calm and compose tone over the phone: “Okay, then?”
Ya! Then what? Allie did not tell what to say afterwards ah! I scratch my head to think hard. When I am about to cast a cry for help gaze at Ai Li, suddenly I feel a sharp and piercing pain at my thigh. I can’t help but scream out loudly in pain.
I glare angrily at Ai Li. Before I’ve ti to question her why she suddenly struck a vicious blow at , she has already snatched my phone and disconnected the call. At the final mont, I vaguely hear Lu Jun asks in an anxious and puzzled tone over the phone: “Xia Ye? What happened to you? Hello? Xia Ye?”
“What are you doing ah?” I frown and look at Ai Li but see her decisively switches off my phone. Then she proudly raises her eyebrows and says: “Done!”
I glare resentfully at her. On one hand, I am feeling anxious and want to snatch back the phone. On the other hand, I angrily say: “What is done? Faster, give back my phone. Why did you suddenly disconnect the call? General manager will feel worried.”
“Exactly, I want him to feel worried!” Ai Li looks at like she is looking at an idiot: “Why are you such a stupid girl? Don’t you want to test if his feeling for you is sincere? Your scream was so piercing just now. The phone was suddenly disconnected. Hence, he will surely think you’ve t with an accident. If he really loves you, within half an hour, he will certainly rush over at lightning speed. He’ll co here to look for you in panic.”
It suddenly dawns on that this sly girl has such a plan!
Still feeling the ache on my leg, I complain resentfully: “You don’t need to use such brutal strength ah. I am sure my thigh is bruised now. Can’t you tell first so that I’ll cooperate by pretending to scream?”
Ai Li gives a look of contempt: “People like handso Lu is a business elite who has encountered all kind of situations before. Thus if we don’t act natural and real, do you think you can deceive him with your IQ and acting?”
I think about it. Although what I’ve heard is not very pleasing to the ear, i
t sounds reasonable. However, suddenly sothing flashes across my mind. I rember Lu Jun’s phone call before I ca out and imdiately start to feel anxious: “Oh no, he told before that he will be going on a business trip after he has finished a very important eting.”
“A very important eting?” Ai Li raises her eyebrows, claps her hands and says with a cunning face: “That’s even better, like this can test better if he is sincere towards you. If he leaves his eting to co to look for you, then I’ve to congratulate you. Because fortune favours a fool like you to finally find a loved one who you can entrust yourself. On the contrary, if he continues to work and put you aside, it shows that in his heart, you are a lot less important than his career. If this happens then, you will have the answer you want to know, right?”
What she said sounds reasonable, but I still feel a bit hesitant and look at Ai Li in an apprehensive fra of mind: “Like this …… really can?”
Ai Li nods confidently and pats on the shoulder: “Believe , you can’t go wrong!” While saying that, she takes her bag and stands up. Then she turns gracefully, ready to leave. I quickly ask nervously: “Where are you going?”
“Go ho ah since what happen thereafter only concerns both of you. I don’t need to follow you around foolishly.” While shaking my mobile phone, she says: “By the way, I will temporarily confiscate your lousy phone to prevent you from switching on the phone. Then you would have suffered the pain on your thigh for nothing.”
After saying that she turns around imdiately without giving the opportunity to retort. Then she walks away swaying like a typical wise and virtuous lady.
In the following period of ti, I begin my arduous and lengthy wait. My heart is extrely looking forward to what Ai Li has said that Lu Jun is worried about my safety and will disregard everything to hurry over. I wait every minute impatiently, looking in all directions with my eyes wide open like a rabbit. I am afraid to miss the first mont of the arrival of his anxious figure.
However, after half an hour, he does not appear. After an hour, he also does not appear. After one and a half hour, he still does not appear. After two hours …… Big boss Lu, even if you finish your eting and go ho comfortably to take a hot shower. Then after drinking a cup of coffee leisurely, you drive your fancy sports car for a ride but co to look for en route, also will not need such a long ti, right? Or you simply don’t care about and has boarded the plane to go to your business trip? However a weak little girl like is still out at night. Then suddenly after such a real scream, the call was disconnected. I might have a car accident. I might have been robbed. I might have t a pervert …… so many possibilities. Don’t tell , you are not even a bit worried about ?
Due to my bitter disappointnt, my perfectly round eyes have gradually turned semicircle. Then due to my exhaustion, the eyes from semicircle gradually beco a narrow slit. The street lights shine out dim yellow light ray. The platform is bustling with activity with wave after wave of passengers. Except I am sitting foolishly here from beginning to end. When I think of the little details, I realize I’ve imagined my love is reciprocated. Then I think of my painful lost of chastity in Guilin and another slip last night, I could no longer withstand the grievance in my heart and start to feel a bit bitter.
Another burst of cold wind blowing through, I fold my arms and shiver. Suddenly I co to realize a very serious problem. Looking at my current situation, I don’t think I will be able to catch a wealthy husband like Lu Jun. If I continue to expose myself to the wind here and end up catching a cold, I have to pay for my own dical expenses and suffer a big financial loss.
Thinking about it, I quickly pat my backside, stand up and set foot on the bus ho in a bright and distressed mood.
“I tell you, no man is good! For example, my boss is so terrible!”
I sit next to the window in the last row. Initially, I estimate I’ll reach ho in less than half an hour, but I did not expect the traffic jam to be so bad because of an accident on Central Road. When I am feeling terribly bored, I hear the two young girls in front of are gossiping in a low voice. From the outset, the topic of their conversation caught my attention. I prick up my ears and vaguely hear the other girl asks: “If like this, then why are you still willing to be your boss’s lover?”
“He usually treats well and takes good care of in work and life. As ti passes, I nearly has the illusion that he sincerely loves .”
“Why are you so sure this is an illusion? Maybe he really loves you?”
That girl sighs with disappointnt: “Aiya, it is impossible. Modern society is very realistic, ah. People is a rich big boss, will he take a fancy to a dowdy office worker? At most, you’ll be considered sothing to spice up his life. The newly built latrine will still sll good for three days. However once this novelty wears off, there is nothing left. ”
The other girl sympathetically comforts her: “What you’ve said is also right. In reality, there is not that many Cinderella, so you better accept and get over it ……”
I empathized with her and could not help but nod profoundly: “Yes ah, I should accept and get over it.”
The two girls turn around in puzzlent and look at strangely. Then I only realize I gave myself away. Thus I give them a fake smile in embarrassnt. They obviously understand sothing because their gazes gradually turn compassionate ……
Due to the traffic jam, it is already very late when I arrive at my bus stop. However since Lu Jun has gone on a business trip, I should be able to slack off and take a nap tomorrow. At least there is a little consolation.
Unexpectedly, when I’ve just arrived at the neighbourhood doorway, I see my mom cos up to et with a tense face. Her big and broad hands are gripping my shoulders and she says in an excited tone: “Oh Xia Ye, you’ve co back ah? Are you okay ah? Nothing happened, right?”
“I’m fine ah!” I am shocked by her reaction and ask in puzzlent: “Mom, how are you?”
“Fine?” Mom looks quietly at from head to toe. After confirming that I am really all right, all of a sudden, she slaps the back of my head: “You bad girl, you scared your aging mother to death!”
The slap makes a little dazed: “Mom, what happened?”
“You have the nerve to ask what happened? People little Lu has been searching everywhere for you. At the mont, it is estimated he has already scoured all the hospitals in the city! Where did you go today? Why did you co ho so late? Why cannot get through to you on your phone? Coincidentally there was a car accident on Central Road today. Hence we thought sothing unexpected has happened to you …… you bad girl, why do you make people worry ah!” While talking, mom starts to choke with emotion.
My head explodes with a bang, Lu Jun is looking everywhere for ? Wasn’t he busy in a eting and busy going on a business trip? He really ca to look for tonight?
While my train of thought is still in chaos, I see my mom holding my hand tightly. Her face appears sincere and remorseful. Then she heaves a sigh: “Daughter, ah, when I realize that you might have a car accident today, this is the first ti I feel so regretful. I really should not have, should not have ah …… ”
Looking at mum tearfully giving her moving speech, I feel grieved. Finally, you know the importance of your daughter. Finally, you realize that you cannot lose . Finally, you regret not treating good enough ah! While thinking about it, I could not help but hug her tightly: “Never mind mom, I don’t bla you. I know actually you have always been very concerned about .”
Mom seems not to hear my words, as she continues to say in a remorseful tone: “I regret ah, I should not be reluctant to pay a little money and didn’t buy a life insurance for you. That’s a large sum of money, enough for to use for the rest of my life ah.”
I: “……”
