Chapter 90: Internal and External Troubles
Compared with William, Huang Yaqian is the more dangerous one*. According to her understanding of Huang Yaqian, as tough as her, if something like this happens to her baby daughter, she will never give up, and after taking care of her own affairs, she will definitely return to the United States as soon as possible.
However, in fact, Huang Yaqian has not appeared in the United States for several weeks, and during this time, she has not even made a single phone call to her from China, not even WeChat. I don't know what's going on in Shanghai......
Bai Xinrui is in school, on the surface, everything seems to be as usual, she still goes to and from class, sports, extracurricular activities, watching American dramas, shopping, buying, and showing off, intentionally or unintentionally...... However, it was becoming more and more difficult to fill her empty heart.
Amanda spoke slowly, "There's another interesting thing you want to know?" ”
The eyes of several girls lit up at the same time, waiting for today's "gossip scandal meeting" to enter the key broadcast link.
Amanda showed a satisfied smile, two blade-like eyebrows upside down into a figure of eight, forming a ninety-degree right angle to her eyes, and said: "You don't know yet, that day, I went to the library to listen to the recitation of the Lakeside Poetry Society, and I accidentally walked through the wrong door, and I actually saw ......"
Speaking of which, Amanda paused deliberately, this is her usual way of speaking, you know, only a small whet of everyone's appetite before breaking the news will produce the best effect.
She looked at Vicky and then at Amy, the curious little flame in the eyes of the two of them had already ignited, only Bai Xinrui, who was usually the most interested in gossip, seemed a little absent-minded.
Waiting for this new news to break out, not afraid that you will not pick your feet, Amanda cleared her throat confidently and continued: "...... I actually saw Kevin holding Kim Sun-young in a room disheveled......"
"What? Is this true? Why is it disheveled? Describe it. Mi Li couldn't contain her excitement and joy when she heard the new material, and pulled out an incredible high note.
After thinking about it, the male protagonist of this gossip is Kevin, Bai Xinrui's ex-boyfriend, and immediately realized that he was too happy to see Chari just now, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Oh, I mean, they are too bold!" ”
Amanda's eyebrows seemed to jump off her face, and she deliberately lowered her voice with a ghostly expression, and said, "yes, what do you think this means?" ”
"He had 'yellow fever!'" The fat-headed and fat-brained Vicky said such a sentence without thinking about it.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the eyes of Amanda and Amy. You know, at this moment, there is a yellow girl sitting among them, and she is a powerful character.
Vicky buried her head deeply, and almost tucked the big head on her shoulders into the waistband of her jeans.
"Mia's little smashed just passed, and Kevin really doesn't have a long memory at all! Guys who don't know how to cherish...... Dead nature does not change! Amy sighed for a long time, as if she still missed the scene when she formed a CP with Kevin and Bai Xinrui.
Hearing this, several girls peeked at Bai Xinrui together, only to see her eyes looking into the distance, as if she was looking for something, and did not pay attention to what they were talking about.
Amanda leaned over and touched Bai Xinrui's shoulder and said, "Stella, did you hear, Kevin and that little are too arrogant, should we go and give them some more color?" ”
"Oh, that's good......" Bai Xinrui replied unexpectedly, still looking absent-minded.
Amanda was disappointed, listening to this freshly baked and steaming material, Bai Xinrui was indifferent, and she couldn't help but pout.
As she was talking, Bai Xinrui's mobile phone vibrated a little, she quickly lowered her head, and her slender fingers with ice pink nail polish gently slid open the screen of the champagne gold Apple phone, and a Weibo push message came into view.
Bai Xinrui fiercely pressed the mobile phone screen turned down to the highest brightness, held it tightly in her hand, and leaned her back into the sofa in extreme disappointment.
“…… Why didn't you react at all? Amy shook Bai Xinrui's shoulders unwillingly.
"You can't have forgotten Kevin so quickly, right?" Amanda also had an inquiring look in her eyes.
"Do you want me to prepare a big gift to send over?" Bai Xinrui said lazily as she opened her eyes.
"Look at the phone once a second, I don't know if I think the phone is your boyfriend." Vicky grumbled.
Seeing Bai Xinrui's listless appearance, everyone simply regarded her as transparent and continued to chat.
The gossip discussion was halfway through when it was interrupted by a strange tune that was unbridled but indistinct.
I saw a boy in a dirty jumper, jeans hanging from the widest part of his hip bone, revealing half of his ass in cartoon pants, walking over, followed by a fat man with strong glasses like a polar bear. The greasy, knotted hair on their heads looked like two hornet's nests, and as they swayed past the girls, they choked on their noses with a strong strange smell.
"It's terrible, these two dick otaku actually appeared ...... Jonathan Building" Vicky looked at Fat Joe and Blake, who were sitting on the wide wooden windowsill waiting for someone, with a look on her face that she would not be with them.
"I'm looking for Daisy." Amanda said in a low voice.
"Can Daisy take a fancy to this kind of person?" Amy was amazed that the contact lenses were about to fall out of her eyes.
The appearance of the dick silk otaku made the conversation of several girls immediately change direction, from lively gossip, to the selection of the top ten worst dress taste winners on campus, they wittily commented on the dress of some boys and girls on campus, and from time to time were amused by each other's wonderful speeches, making a crisp but exaggerated laugh.
No matter how many girls laughed, listening to Bai Xinrui's ears, it had already become meaningless background music, and her eyes were now passing over the few beautiful girls around her who were fashionably dressed, with exquisite makeup and collagen-covered faces, and cast them farther away, trying to find William's figure.
Amanda lifted Bai Xinrui's thick black hair, revealing the brand logo on the neckline of the dress, she glanced at it, and showed an exaggerated expression on her face: "...... No wonder, this skirt is from Valentino (Valentino, an Italian luxury brand), this fabric, this style, I just looked at it and guessed that it is inseparable. ”
At this time, Bai Xinrui's mobile phone rang again, she didn't care about Amanda, her eyes stared directly at the phone, as if she wanted to see a hole in the LCD screen.
Amy tugged at the hem of Bai Xinrui's warm gold silk print dress and exclaimed, "I've always thought that Stella was one of the best people in our school. ”
Bai Xinrui saw a weather forecast on her phone, she angrily pressed the phone again and threw it on the coffee table.
What she needs most now is William, his time, and his heart, but she feels sadly that these two things are difficult for William to give easily.
At this time, Bai Xinrui's mobile phone rang again, and her eyes involuntarily turned to the phone, this time it was a text message: "Stella, baby, I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." ”
Bai Xinrui picked up her mobile phone, ignored the strange eyes of her friends, and flew out of the hall of Jonathan Building.
***
A week has passed since that glorious performance, and after stepping down from the glorious stage, Bai Xinrui feels that real life has become a bland and tasteless boiled water.
In particular, during this whole week, William's attitude towards her became more and more indifferent, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is this crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, or empathy? She even suspected that William was just trying to take advantage of herself.
Without William's sweet words all the time, she felt that every day was extremely depressing.
During class, on the computer screen she opened was a page for online shopping for a luxury brand, showing rows of seductive and gorgeous clothes, and her hand subconsciously slid the mouse, but her vision was blurred. She allowed herself to wander in class and wander around shopping sites.
On Thursday afternoon, Bai Xinrui received a WeChat message from Huang Yaqian, telling her that she had returned to the United States, was jet lag, and tomorrow, hoped that Bai Xinrui could return to Rhode Island to spend the weekend with her.
After reading this message, Bai Xinrui's first instinctive reaction was to find an excuse to push it away. Huang Yaqian can return to Rhode Island smoothly, she must have already taken care of domestic affairs, so the next step, she must find trouble with herself and William.
When she thought of the relationship between herself and William that was now inseparable and existed in name only, she felt congested. She worked hard to maintain this relationship, and in order for this relationship to last forever, she gambled everything, even at the expense of turning against her mother, however, what did she get?
She couldn't guess what William was thinking, he was always hot and cold to her, even if Huang Yaqian didn't get in the way, their current relationship was in jeopardy.
At present, she wants to settle her old suspicions with Huang Yaqian for the time being, because she needs to get some strategy and courage from this woman who has played countless men between applause.
Bai Xinrui didn't have the heart to listen to the whole day of class on Friday, and for the first time, she looked forward to getting out of class soon and going home early.
After school, she didn't stage a cat-and-mouse game with the driver and Aunt Yun on campus as usual, and as soon as she got out of class, she held up a huge umbrella and walked from the rain to the familiar RV.
The car slowly drove out of the drizzly hazy campus, and the rain crackled on the window glass. Bai Xinrui felt that her mood had become even worse, the whole world seemed to be collapsing, she lowered her head, her long black hair hung down her cheeks, she felt that this luxurious carriage was so oppressive that she couldn't breathe.
Drive the rugged Cliff Walk along the Atlantic coast and you'll enter the heart of Rhode Island. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, it is home to a number of famous mansions left behind by the wealthy old Qian families in the 19th century, the most famous of which are the summer vacation homes of the Vanderbilt family of the American railroad tycoon, Marble Lodge and Listening Wave Villa.
