Chapter 135 – Persevere, and Persevere More (3)
Jiang Mucheng turned her head around to look at her, eyes welling with tears.
She wanted to cry but she couldn’t. Her heart was filled with envy at the woman in front of her. Why does everything go so well for her, And why does she have to work so hard but is constantly being suppressed, and even having the fruits of her labor used for the gains of others?
Why is it that she can so easily win Lu Ting’s affection, but she couldn’t even get a second glance from him, and even had her “stupidity” exposed in front of him?
When she thought of what happened at the banquet hall, and the way Lu Ting looked at her, her heart throbbed harder and harder in pain.
Why did Lin Yueqi come here? To show off?
The wind was chilly. Lin Yueqi rubbed her bare ankles and then her hands, saying, “I saw what happened at the banquet hall just now so I came to check up on you.”
Of course, that was just an excuse.
She knew about Jiang Mucheng’s past. If she really was led astray by the system, then she may be able to persuade her to mend her ways before she makes a huge mistake.
In a way, she could understand how a person’s heart could waver when they arrive at a desperate situation.
There was a look of hatred in Jiang Mucheng’s eyes that she didn’t even bother to conceal. “Did you come to laugh at me? You’re here to laugh at me for being crazy, aren’t you?”
“Sorry, but that’s not my intention. I thought you were drunk.” Lin Yueqi was worried that she had come too abruptly and tossed the bomb to Tuantuan instead. She said, “It’s that little girl Tuantuan who told me to come see you. She said that she was your friend. I couldn’t bear to refuse her so I came to see you.”
Jiang Mucheng was stunned. “F-Friend?”
She thought back to that night when the fat girl helped her up and stuck a cute bear bandaid on her hand.
The girl asked her to write a script for family no. 4. She did not accept ir, nor did she refuse. Even after the show was over, she never bothered to write a script for them.
She thought that the little girl had already forgotten about her. No matter what, Jiang Mucheng never expected that the little girl would actually take her as a…friend. And she even told her mother to come see her.
For someone like Jiang Mucheng who was wallowing in self-pity, it was easy for her to interpret anyone’s words as extremely malicious, but it was also easy for her to appreciate genuine kindness directed at her.
She was extremely conflicted.
Seeing her in a daze, Lin Yueqi held her hand and felt her warmth. “Wow, you’re freezing! There’s a milk tea shop over there, why don’t we go inside? I seemed to have a bit too much to drink so it’ll be just nice to go freshen up a bit.”
Jiang Mucheng kept to herself, but Lin Yueqi forcefully pulled her from the ground and dragged her to the milk tea shop.
The milk tea shop was not big with only six tables inside, and the owner was a young girl.
There was also a deep fryer on the counter inside the milk tea shop. Several skewers of pork tenderloin and sausages were on the oil filter rack. Lin Yueqi was worried that Jiang Mucheng would run away when she wasn’t looking, so she held her hand the whole time.
With her other hand, she pointed to the milk tea on the sign and said, “Boss, one original Milk Tea and two skewers of pork tenderloin and one sausage. More chili please, thank you! What about you? What do you want to drink?”
After Lin Yueqi was done ordering, she turned to ask.
Jiang Mucheng looked at her with a strange look as if she was a strange creature.
Clearly, the boss was also stunned as she looked at Lin Yueqi. She exclaimed, “Are you Lin Yueqi?”
“Haha, you’re a joker, boss. Is Lin Yueqi as pretty as this? More chili please, Boss. Don’t think you can try to pull a fast one on me just because I look like Lin Yueqi!”
The boss laughed and while she had some free time while frying the food, she immediately went to close the door.
