Chapter 119 – I know what is going through you and your mother’s mind (2)

Deng Lan and her mother just wanted to advocate the relationships between them. That was the reason that he never liked wealthy girls like Deng Lan who had been in this circle for a long time. They were always scheming and thinking about how to maximize the benefits for themselves.

All that could be said was that his double-standard nature was exactly the same as Li WangJin’s. When Jiang YaGe stood up for him, he was touched and very appreciative of it. When it was Deng Lan who did it, she was being manipulative and scheming.

When one was not liked by someone else, even an action as simple as taking a sip of water was wrong. And that’s the position that Deng Lan was in right now.

Being yelled at by Li ShiZe to her face made her feel like her heart was being soaked in acid. She felt very wronged. Li ShiZe had been sweet and nice to her this entire time. What had changed all of a sudden?

Her eyes had already turned red, but she still gave him an understanding smile. “I’m sorry. I won’t do that again.”

She put the thermos down in such a way that he could see her fingers. She wanted him to see the blister on her hand. She waited for a while, but the caring words from Li ShiZe never came. Deng Lan didn’t want to annoy him again. Her mother had told her that men didn’t like women who didn’t know when to stop. They much preferred understanding women.

So she left, knowing what was best for her.

She wasn’t just going to be treated that way by Li ShiZe and do nothing. She needed to find out what had caused his change of attitude toward her. She didn’t believe that her mother was the reason behind it. Li ShiZe had lost his patience with her since the week prior.

Her means of breaking through would be Jiang YaGe, the sister that Li ShiZe had doted on. Deng Lan was very glad that she had a good relationship with Jiang YaGe. She even gritted her teeth and bought her a few designer’s purses. Now, it’s time to use that relationship that she had built.

Deng Lan had the chauffeur take her straight to Jiang YaGe’s school to look for her. Jiang YaGe was a sophomore in college and has quite a few classes. She wouldn’t be getting off until 5 PM. Deng Lan’s timing wasn’t great, and she had to wait around for over an hour for Jiang YaGe to get out of class.

Jiang YaGe found Deng Lan’s car quickly after she walked out of the campus. The car door opened up, and she got inside of it like she had done so many times before.

“LanLan,” she said.

Her feelings toward Deng Lan were very complicated. On one hand, Deng Lan had been helping out ShiZe a lot as of late, but it was also obvious that she has other feelings toward ShiZe. Every chance that she got, she would subtly allude to their relationship in their friend’s circle and that made Jiang YaGe feel jealousy and aching of her heart. Yet, she had no grounds to be jealous. She had already broken up with Li ShiZe. Plus, Deng Lan had bought her many gifts. That way, she could maintain her front in front of the others and not be made a laughing stock.

Luckily, Li ShiZe’s business had made a lot of progress and he had received a few contracts. He wouldn’t need to be restrained by others anymore.

Deng Lan looked at Jiang YaGe, whose head was lowered, and said to her affectionately, “I found a fairly good restaurant. Let’s go try it out.”

“Okay.”

Deng Lan chitchatted with Jiang YaGe on and off on their way and finally the subject got to Li ShiZe. “ShiZe has been somewhat cold to me lately. Do you know why?”

Under her look, Jiang YaGe felt a bit of a guilty conscience. She looked away and avoided Deng Lan’s gaze. She tried her best to keep her tone calm when she said to her, “Maybe it’s because of his work. He had been very busy lately and been working overtime every day. There aren’t a lot who can help him out around him.”
