Chapter 2321
“That’s much better, it’s better to be an obedient dog than a dead corpse lying around that won’t bite.” Murong Zhuan trampled her decency underfoot without mercy.
Xing Fei clenched her teeth, her gaze high and proud as she stared straight ahead, not answering.
How could she admit to being a lowly, tail-wagging dog when she was the most feared “poisonous wolf” just a few minutes ago?
It was clear that Murong had taken Xing Fei’s person, but could not control her unbearable heart.
Not caring much about what was on her mind, Murong Zhuan turned his attention to Fu Shen Yan.
He lifted his feet and walked to stand in front of Fu Shen Yan, with only a fist’s distance remaining between them, almost face to face.
“Some things are about talent, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it, don’t force yourself, admit you’re a loser, at least you’re still a man.” There were words in Murong Zhuan’s words, explicitly and implicitly, accusing Fu Shen Yan of not doing his job well.
Darkness, was exclusive to Murong Zhuan, he allowed Fu Shen Yan to enter, but did not allow him to become another light in the darkness.
Even though Fu Shenyan was promoted by him, the two were secretly fighting, tacitly competing to be the best party. In order to suppress Fu Shenyan, previously Murong Zhuan had done things like sell trading information and let the police sweep in, and Fu Shenyan was even injured for this.
Today is no exception. Once upon a time, Murong Zhuan’s business did not touch China, but for some reason, to pick up this piece of cake, who can take this market is undoubtedly the best proof of ability.
As it stands, Xing Fei is forced to bow down, and the credit goes to Murong Zhuan, Fu Shen Yan probably has to look over his shoulder.
Faced with his provocation, Fu Shenyan didn’t have much of a good face, picking up his former meanness and turning his head to look at me, saying grimly, “Hear that, never push yourself.”
Me????
Hello, what does it matter to me?
When he finished, he shook his head and sneered, then lifted his feet and left, leaving only a recklessly spontaneous back that was a bit underwhelming.
It was not until the lift doors closed that I remembered I still had to take his car back, and opened my mouth to call out to stop, but it was already too late.
I had no choice but to hit on Murong Zhuan’s idea, just to take advantage of the time alone to enlist his restless heart.
However, I had just turned around, ready to curry favour, when I found that Murong Zhuan was staring at me with a grim face, and the moment his eyes met, he simply glanced his face away and walked away from the stairs at the other end.
“Murong Zhuan!” I called out, “Hey-”
Even if Fu Shenyan didn’t hear me, this guy clearly heard me clearly, but instead he quickened his pace.
What, am I some kind of plague?
“If Miss Shen doesn’t mind, take my car.” Xing Fei suddenly spoke with a cold face.
I couldn’t just walk back on my heels, “Then I’ll be respectful.”
In fact I soon regretted it. I don’t know if it was because I was angry at Murong Zhuan, but Xing Fei didn’t say anything on the way and the air pressure in the carriage was cold and low, forcing people to suffocate.
So just as we entered the city, I got out of the car and prepared to call the driver to come and pick me up.
Xing Fei gave me a sideways glance, “It’s still some distance from the city centre, are you sure it’s okay?”
“No problem, I happen to have some business to do nearby and I’ll go back after I’m done with it, thanks a lot Miss Xing today.” I was busy smiling and snorting.
“No harm done.” Xing Fei faintly lowered her eyes, then closed the car door and instructed the driver to drive, “Let’s go.”
Soon the driver drove the car away.
As I watched the car fade away, I held my chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, finally able to get some air.
It’s rush hour, and the depressing atmosphere of being stuck in the city for hours on end would take ten years off your life.
Chapter 2322
Calming down, I took two more steps inside and walked slowly along this commercial area.
I passed by a cafe and was attracted by the smell of mellow coffee at the entrance, so I went in, found a random table, sat down and ordered a hot Americano, half a pond.
Only Fu Shenyan can drink Americano without sugar.
After thinking about it for a long time, he dialed Jon’s number.
After waiting for ten seconds or so, I finally heard Qiao En’s familiar voice, “Xiao Shu? How are you?”
“Fine, I can’t believe you’re up at this hour?” I was just taking a chance, but I didn’t expect to actually get through.
“In the middle of a fight.” Jon said.
“What?” I didn’t react for a moment, not that I’d heard of any military action in the M’s recently.
“Oh, nothing, what about you, what do you want from me?” Jon still knew me so well.
What was a friend, when you could see each other with a taxi, you either argued or fought, now you were across the coast but remembered little details about each other.
I smiled down and, without beating around the bush, asked, “Don’t you study psychology, I want to ask you, if you obviously like someone, but ignore her, avoid her, or don’t even communicate with her, what’s going on?”
“You mean Fu Shen Yan?” Jon said, “His affair with that Lu Xinran was even reported by the media over here in M. It’s really unlikeable ah unlikeable.”
“It’s quite a headache, but I’m not talking about him,” I scratched my head with a helpless look, “it’s a friend, I asked for him.”
Playing with someone’s feelings was never a glamorous thing to do, Jon was clean and I didn’t want to expose the unpleasantness to him.
“Well …… Your friend.” Jon seemed to believe and repeated, “Well then, you tell your friend, this is a typical avoidance type of mentality, the more you like, the more you are afraid to face, also does not exclude the inferiority complex, feel unworthy of each other, or after revealing your feelings, even the original friendship will be lost, in the final analysis, your friend in terms of feelings, lack of a little security and confidence na~ ”
Each “your friend” is pronounced with a deliberate emphasis on the meaning of the word, as is the case with most of my friends, who are intent on making fun of me.
I ignore Jon’s teasing and murmur, “Insecure ……”
Murong Zhuan that Yama-like scary guy, I see him as strong inside, will not be confident?
Thinking about it, I was suddenly enlightened again, yes, it would, everyone is a coward when faced with someone they genuinely like!
“So what should I …… do?” I blurted out, only halfway through the sentence did I realise something was wrong and hurriedly changed it, “Blah blah blah, what should my friend do to make the two go further?”
“Huh …..” Jon started laughing again, and it took a good half day before he cleared his throat and returned to his proper self, then actually whispered into the microphone, “Remember Shue, jealousy is the equivalent of a catalyst in chemistry in a relationship, it depends on how you use it if you can fix it or not.”
I nodded approvingly into the phone and froze for a moment before speaking stiffly again, “I told you it was my friend, not me!”
“Don’t be silly Shue, you don’t have to explain so much to me, as long as you’re on the winning side that’s all that matters.” Jon’s half-joking tone was somehow much more mature.
I was silent and didn’t explain further.
At that moment Lin Baisan’s voice rang out on the phone, “Jon -“
