Chapter 39: Girlfriends (2)
"Do you know what my best friend's face was like at that time? Heartbreak, betrayal, teasing, complaining, hatred, all showed her face in an instant, and that was the first time I saw her like this. I stepped forward and hugged her, her body was very cold at the time, maybe her heart was even colder. Then the day before the end of the third year of high school, her ex-boyfriend came to her again, and that was the tenth time he came to her, but every time he came, she turned me away. After her high school career, she asked me which university I wanted to apply to, and I didn't answer her first, but asked her first. She said that she wanted to apply for the Central Academy of Drama in S City, and she wanted to be an actress. Maybe I was too young at the time, so I chose the Central Academy of Drama with her, but in the end, my volunteer list was secretly changed by my parents, and I was successfully admitted to the School of Economics and Management, and she was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama in her dreams. β
"Then do you blame your parents for the revised volunteer list for you?"
Gao Lin'an looked at Xu Lingling's gaze sideways and shook her head: "It's not strange! But since that day, we haven't had any contact! She is also on this road, going farther and farther, and finally even her mind has been washed away! When I met her again, I found that she had completely changed! From the time she was as pure as a good girl, to the time when she had rendered herself to the point of not being the same to the society, I begged her not to trample on herself like this, but she told me that it was her own business, and there was no need for me to interfere as an outsider, you know how much pain I felt in my heart when I heard this!"
Witnessing the emotions in Gao Lin'an's eyes, it was like apology, helplessness, and regret.
Later, I heard from her classmates, it turned out that she had begun to secretly take on all kinds of TV series, movies, I heard from her classmates, during the school period is not allowed to take these privately, if the school finds out, she will be expelled directly! So I went to her again the next day, but she seemed to enjoy the way she was now, and began to sarcastically mock me, and I wanted to slap her awake, but I was still too naΓ―ve! In the end, what I expected happened! After she was found out by the school, she was kicked out of the school the next day, and she came to me like crazy at that time, and said a lot of things in front of me excitedly. She said, why didn't I tell me earlier, why didn't I remind her earlier, that she had been kicked out of the school now, and that those partners had terminated their contracts with her one by two, and now she had nothing left! I told her at the time, I had reminded her, and in the end she put all the blame on me. β
"I can't blame you for this, but she can only blame herself. As a student, the advice of these schools must be told to the student on the first day of school, maybe she can't resist the temptation. Xu Lingling squeezed the back of Gao Lin'an's hand with a sense of comfort and said.
Gao Lin'an lowered her eyes, smiled softly and was silent.
"Now she doesn't know if she is doing well in another world. As he spoke, Gao Lin'an raised his head, looked up at the night sky that had begun to appear starry and sighed.
"Having said all that, let's go eat something delicious. β
"What to eat?"
At this time, Xu Lingling made a sinister smile, pulled up Gao Lin'an's palm, and rushed towards a Chongqing hot pot restaurant not far away.
After ordering the ingredients, Xu Lingling and Gao Linan sat face to face.
However, Xu Lingling's hungry gaze kept sweeping left and right on the table full of ingredients in front of them, as if deciding what to put in the pot later.
"Lin An, let's talk about something in advance!"
"What's the matter?"
Xu Lingling stared at these foods that couldn't help but move her chopsticks, something suddenly flashed in her mind, raised her eyes to meet Gao Lin'an's puzzled gaze, and then made an embarrassing smile: "I don't have any money on me!"
"Ah? I thought it was Ni Su who said it, you really don't have any money, Jiang Lingrui won't pick it out and won't give you money to spend, right?"
Looking at Gao Lin'an's shocked expression, Xu Lingling inevitably smiled awkwardly: "Oh, after all, it's hard for a girl to speak." β
"But the dowry you married is not a lot, and it won't be enough,"
"Dowry? Oh, I don't want to touch that. Grandpa is gone, and there is also a heart he gave me, and I don't want to spend it. β
Gao Linan knew that Xu Lingling was not Zhou Wanqing, and she might not know that there was such a thing as a dowry, but Jiang Lingrui didn't give her money to spend, so Gao Linan couldn't figure it out!
"Wait, I'll give you something. With that, Gao Lin'an picked up the small satchel she had just put down, and began to dig through the bottom to find what she wanted.
"Well, there are 100,000 in this, although it is not much, you can spend it first. β
"100,000?" Xu Lingling didn't understand what Gao Lin'an meant, and repeated what Gao Lin'an said, staring at the bank card in Gao Lin'an's hand with puzzled eyes.
"Take it, you don't have any money now, and I can't use this money, so I'll use it for you first." β
"Don't don't, forget it! It's OK for you to invite me to dinner, forget about this card, besides, I am working in Kong's now, and the salary he gives is also quite high, as long as I persist for a month, I will also be a rich man!" Saying this, Xu Lingling's cheeks immediately showed a confident look, and Gao Lin'an was stunned.
After dinner, Xu Lingling and Gao Lin'an didn't rush back, and strolled around the nearby park for a while.
"How is your work at Kong's recently? Did you find any clues?"
Xu Lingling pouted and shook her head: "No! It is estimated that this matter is not as simple as I thought." β
"If you need any help, feel free to contact me, and I will do my best to help you then!"
"Okay, it's enough to have your words!" Xu Lingling snapped her fingers in front of Gao Lin'an, and said happily.
After seeing Gao Lin'an leave, Xu Lingling also took a taxi and prepared to go back to the villa, but the moment she got the taxi, the words Jiang Lingrui said yesterday vaguely sounded in her ears, and immediately told the driver to let him go around a few more times before going to the destination.
Next
Xu Lingling, who had just finished the morning meeting, sat on the swivel chair as if she was free, stretched a very comfortable waist, and then twisted her somewhat stiff arms.
"Good morning President, this is your coffee!"
After the simple greeting words, Xu Lingling put the coffee she had just bought in her hand in front of Kong Tangyin's desk, and when she was about to turn around and leave, Kong Tangyin, who was sitting on the leather swivel chair, stopped Xu Lingling, who was leaving, at this time.
Xu Lingling, who was stopped, immediately stopped leaving, quickly turned back, stood on the spot and said very respectfully to Kong Tangyin: "What else does the president command?"
"Come here!"
The magic sound of the command appeared in Xu Lingling's ears, and after Xu Lingling also heard it, her body was a little stiff and sluggish.
I walked a few steps forward to the place where I had just put the coffee, lowered my eyes slightly, and looked at the place where I had just put the coffee.
"What is the relationship between you and Gao Lin'an?"
Gao Lin'an: Hehe, this man is really investigating her details.
"President, Gao Lin'an is a good friend I met a few years ago, is there any problem?"
"Are you sure it's just good friends?"
The questioning question appeared in Xu Lingling's ears again, which also made Xu Lingling frown defensively.
"Yes, only good friends, nothing else!"
"Raise your head!"
Xu Lingling obediently looked up at Kong Tangyin, and found that Kong Tangyin's dark eyes that couldn't guess and couldn't see the bottom had been stopping at Xu Lingling, and the pen flipped between her fingers made Xu Lingling's heart tremble.
"Someone told me that you are Zhou Wanqing!"
Grunt, Xu Lingling suddenly felt that as soon as Kong Tangyin's words came out, her little heart beat violently, and her pupils involuntarily widened.
"Hehe, you can see it, president. In the past, my friends always called me Zhou Wanqing when they saw me, and I always wondered what kind of character Zhou Wanqing was, why did you all recognize me as her?
"Really, not?"
"Of course not! I'm Xu Lingling, my surname is Xu and not Zhou, will my ID card be fake?"
Regarding Kong Tangyin's fatal questioning, Xu Lingling had no choice but to be a dead horse doctor, and by the way, she wanted to see what Kong Tangyin wanted to ask from her.
"It's okay, let's go out!By the way, the coffee delivery time has been a bit slow recently, and I don't like to drink it cold!"
"Okay president, I'll pay attention next time!"
Facing the cloudy and changeable Kong Tangyin, after Xu Lingling exited the office, she wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when she looked up, there were five or six cameras facing her, maybe Kong Tangyin was now in the office through the surveillance screen, observing Xu Lingling's facial changes.
Thinking of this, Xu Lingling held back her heart that had not yet relaxed, and returned to her desk with an expressionless face and an emotion that nothing had happened.
Sure enough, as Xu Lingling guessed, Kong Tangyin did observe Xu Lingling's facial expressions through the monitoring screen after Xu Lingling left.
When Xu Lingling left the monitoring range, Kong Tangyin retracted his gaze and continued to flip through the unapproved documents as if he was nothing.
Xu Lingling, who was out of the monitoring range, sat on her own chair, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and the rough breath in her mouth kept panting.
At this time, Xu Lingling picked up her mobile phone and sent a text message to Jiang Lingrui.
Kong Tangyin just tentatively asked me if it was Zhou Wanqing, did he investigate something?"
After three minutes, the phone screen lit up again.
As far as I know, Kong Tangyin has not investigated any information, you can rest assured!"
Whew~ A heavy sigh of relief, if it weren't for Xu Lingling's good adaptability, otherwise it would really be the line of life and death just now.
"Okay, you Kong Tangyin, since you want to play, I'll play with you!"
