Chapter 24: The War of Tongues

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the North Shore Cafe, where foreigners and ladies gathered. Perhaps it was too early to arrive, so she found a secluded spot and sat down, and the waiter brought a booklet full of English. Fortunately, English classes are also a key subject in the nine-year compulsory education, so it is not difficult for her to order a meal in English.

After waiting for a while, the coffee was almost gone, and Kang Shaolan hadn't come yet. Seeing the light and shadow outside the window slowly moving to the side, she really couldn't wait, there was still a lot of work waiting for her in the hotel, she got up to leave, but saw Ah Hong coming from the hidden place of the café.

When she saw Ah Hong, she instantly became nervous, she was in danger of her life several times, and today she didn't know how long she had been hiding in a hidden place to observe her, whether she was planning something bad in her heart, Song Wushuang didn't dare to stay longer, and wanted to leave with her bag.

"Miss Song, please stay."

She said without looking back, as if fleeing for her life, "There are still things in the hotel that I need to deal with, so I won't stay longer." ”

She grabbed Song Wushuang's bag, "My brother always said that Miss Song is brave and courageous, why are you afraid that I won't be able to murder you here?" ”

Song Wushuang pulled the bag, and he didn't pull it back after pulling it several times. She couldn't help but look at Ah Hong. "Miss Kang, what do you mean by that?"

"What can I mean?" Ah Hong combed her neat short hair, and a leather jacket showed that she was a three-point ruffian, where she stood, pulling Song Wushuang's bag motionlessly, Ni looked at her, telling her that she was helpless and couldn't leave.

The two were at a stalemate in the café, and Song Wushuang couldn't stand the lively eyes of others, so he had to sit down again.

Ah Hong sat proudly opposite her, "That's right, why bother pulling and pulling in public." ”

Song Wushuang realized, "It's difficult, you sent all the flowers these days?" ”

She smiled slyly, "The flowers were given by my brother, but the card was replaced by me, and I just changed the address." She said lazily, "Your identity is very expensive now, Yi Ershao and my brother explicitly forbade me to enter the Sansheng Hotel, there is no way, I can only find a way to ask you out." However, it's hard to please move you, I've been waiting for you here for three days, and you're finally here. ”

"I don't think there's anything to say between you and me."

Her face changed, and she said gloomily, "Do you think I'm willing to talk to you more?" ”

"In that case, what did Miss Kang mean by asking me here?" Song Wushuang looked around vigilantly, there were all young ladies in dresses and men in suits, and the rest were foreigners talking and laughing, and there was nothing suspicious.

"I see that you are well-behaved, fluent in English, and quite accustomed to drinking coffee, I believe that you are highly educated, and unlike those traditional women, you do have a charm that makes men fall for you."

Song Wushuang always felt that what she said was not a good thing, and sure enough, her words began to be radical, "You are so hung on my brother's appetite that he can't sleep all night for you, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner, is it interesting?" What's the difference between your method of hanging a man and a prostitute in a hook? It's just a high-class courtesan. ”

Song Wushuang finally understood that Ah Hong was here to fight for his brother.

"My attitude is very clear, I didn't hang your brother, I came to the appointment today to clarify this matter with him." She made no secret of it, "Don't you think it's too much for you to be between me and your brother now?" ”

"Too much? Is it so hard that you want me to see him lose his other leg because of a woman? Her tone began to be fierce, and her eyes became vicious, "I'll tell you the truth, with me for one day, you Song Wushuang won't be able to enter the door of my Kang family." ”

Song Wushuang looked at her arrogant appearance and was a little unhappy, and remembered that she was worried about her brother, and she didn't want to have more trouble with her.

Song Wushuang has suffered a lot of obvious losses and hidden injuries here with Ah Hong, not to mention that she is ruthless to Dr. Kang, even if she is affectionate to him, with such a ruthless sister-in-law, she will never marry Mr. Kang.

"Dr. Kang has saved my life, and I can only be grateful to him, and I don't have any other thoughts."

"What you say is true? In public, I don't mean to persecute you in the slightest! ”

Song Wushuang nodded, "That's right, you didn't force me. Even if you persecute me, I will say so. Because it's what I mean by heart. ”

She clapped her hands and smiled with satisfaction, "I know that you have such a considerate Mr. Zhou by your side, you accompany you day and night, stay in the same hotel, how can you not fall for him?" My brother is nothing more than a crippled man with a crippled leg in your eyes. You even think in your heart, how can someone like my brother be worthy of you, right? ”

Song Wushuang didn't expect that her words not only insulted her relationship with Mr. Zhou, but also belittled her brother so jokingly, she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

It wasn't until she heard a voice that she understood what the woman was hapting.

"So in your heart, you see me like this?"

It's Kang Shaolan's voice!

Song Wushuang immediately turned around and looked around, but there was no one to see him.

She thought of the old saying that it was dark under the lamp, she immediately walked to the back table to take a look, and sure enough, on the sofa back to back with her, Kang Shaolan was sitting there quietly, the coffee in front of him was still full, and he didn't move.

The whole café is just a card bag with two sofas, but the two card bags are blocked by a high soft crown-shaped partition, so she didn't notice that Kang Shaolan had been sitting here.

She was afraid that the misunderstanding would accumulate more and more, so she immediately explained, "Mr. Kang, I didn't mean that, you are upright, open-minded, and have the will to help the world, how can I miss you so badly." ”

He patted his leg and smiled wryly, "What's the use of me being good, you still dislike me?" ”

People with disabilities are naturally a little sensitive, Song Wushuang was afraid of touching his inner pain, and carefully explained, "You are just a little inconvenient in your legs and feet, and when you use a cane, you walk like an ordinary person." Mr. Kang, compared to your medical talent, this little hidden disease is not worth your thoughts. ”

"Then why won't you give me a chance to take care of you?"

Song Wushuang was speechless.

"Actually, I can do a lot of things for you, and I can give you a lot more than you think." He pulled an envelope out of his bosom and placed it on the table, pushing it in front of her with a flick of his fingertips.

Song Wushuang didn't understand what he meant, it was so difficult that the envelope contained a check from the Republic of China?

She began to speak poorly and stammered, "Mr. Kangkang, what do you mean?" Are you so hard to think that you can support me? ”

"Miss Song, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to humiliate you."

"Stop." Song Wushuang pushed the envelope back in front of him and quickly sorted out the thoughts in his mind, "I have never understood that when I was in the Yi Mansion, I was very unfriendly with your sister, and why did you like me, this makes me very puzzled. Now it seems that you are just trying to play with me with money. She smiled, "Sure enough, no matter what era it is, the methods used by men to pursue little girls are really the same." ”

As soon as Dr. Kang opened his mouth, he was scolded back by Song Wushuang. "You shush the cold and ask for a few words every day, and then send flowers to confess your heart, and then add chips to buy gifts or give money, this link by link, step by step, which girl can escape such a premeditated favor."

Song Wushuang's cheeks were crimson with anger, she felt that Kang Shaolan's great image in her heart collapsed instantly, he was no longer a savior-like existence, but a gentleman in a warm and elegant coat, women were like things in his palm to him, and his little tricks against women were played perfectly, very advanced.

No wonder, no wonder yesterday when she was besieged by everyone, he appeared at the right time to rescue her, this is like a prince charming-like plot, how can an ordinary little woman not fall?

"I'm not toying with you. I genuinely want to pursue you and be with you. When I was in Yi Mansion, I knew that my sister was inferior, so I took care of you a lot, and later, when I saw that you were quick thinking and intelligent, I was impressed with you. Kang Shaolan was anxious, and explained with a stitch.

All of this is clever in Song Wushuang's opinion.

Song Wushuang suddenly thought of yesterday, in front of everyone, he pressed step by step, forcing her to admit in public that she had no personal relationship with Mr. Zhou. Now it seems that she just wants to let herself cut off her feelings for Mr. Zhou in front of everyone.

Kang Shaolan's scheming is no less than that of his sister Ah Hong.

"Mr. Kang's sincerity, I really can't afford it." She took out the delicate crystal bottle from her bag, "I've run out of this medicine, my eyes are indeed much better, thank you for the carefully formulated eye drops." However, this bottle is very valuable, you and I are not related, but the relationship between the doctor and the patient, I really have no virtue and no ability to accept your things. ”

She put the bottle on the table, and before she could say her goodbye, Ah Hong's sarcastic words had already come out, "Brother, haven't you seen it yet, no matter how much you do for her, she won't appreciate it." Brother, in fact, you already know that she already has someone in her heart, and that person is Mr. Zhou. ”

Song Wushuang took the case, "Miss Kang, in public, please don't talk nonsense." ”

Ah Hong didn't look at her with disdain, she only said to her brother, "Mr. Zhou is a big tree, how could she Song Wushuang give up this cash cow because of you." Why do you ask for trouble on her? ”

She continued earnestly, "Brother, I am your own sister, I am doing this from you today, just to let you know what kind of person she is, she is not worthy of your liking." ”

"Don't say any more." Kang Shaolan's tone seemed to be warning, "Don't meddle in my affairs again." ”

Hong picked up the envelope on the table and smiled. "Brother, if she likes you a little bit in her heart, why won't she even give you a chance to explain?" She looked at Song Wushuang and sneered, "Smart? Courage? It's all a joke. ”

Ah Hong's words made Song Wushuang unreasonable, she didn't want to be entangled anymore, so she turned around angrily regardless of etiquette and other people's eyes.

She had all walked out of the café door, and she could still be heard shouting. "My future sister-in-law must pass my Ah Hong pass before she can marry into my Kang family."

Song Wushuang quickly walked across the street and stopped a rickshaw, and the driver had just started when he was stopped by the waiter at the café.

The waiter took the envelope and said, "Miss Song, Mr. Kang asked me to give this to you." With that, he shoved the envelope into her hand.

Song Wushuang was angry, who did Kang Shaolan think of her? Just said so much, he still thought that money would make her succumb and cling?

She raised her hand to throw it away, but was stopped by the waiter, "Mr. Kang said, please be sure to open it and take a look." With that, he ran away.

Song Wushuang opened the envelope inexplicably, and unexpectedly found that it was actually a portrait of the murderer.

And under the portrait are written three words, Xia Sanxiang!
