Chapter 1316 - What About Your Boyfriend?
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Let me think about it…” Wang Xiaoran was proud in her heart, but she remained calm and collected as she talked. She still had the tear-stained face of a beauty, and her actual thoughts couldn’t be seen.
Yu Chi was somewhat apprehensive; he really was a little scared. He felt that his happy life had just begun. How could it be destroyed by Wang Xiaoran?
Yu Chi found that it was more interesting to be in the company than in the small place in his hometown. In his hometown, at most, a few followers flattered and fawned over him, but here, many people in the company flattered and fawned over him. The gap between these two places naturally made Yu Chi feel that life was much better now than before.
In the company, he didn’t need to do anything to receive his salary every month, not a penny less. He was at the level of a middle-ranked leader, which made Yu Chi almost a little smug and arrogant! He was afraid that if this matter spread and reached his cousin’s ear, he might have to go back home, so Yu Chi was extra careful. “Xiaoran, you should just promise me. What else do you have to consider? We already have feelings for each other, and we have done things that shouldn’t be done. What else do you have to consider?”
“Then… okay…” Finally, Wang Xiaoran reservedly nodded and agreed to Yu Chi’s wooing.
Yu Chi heard Wang Xiaoran’s affirmative reply, and he was overjoyed. He was positive about his future, and his mood was refreshed as other intentions started popping up in his mind. As he looked at the beautiful person next to him, Yu Chi’s heart was moved. “Xiaoran, it’s still early. Let’s go again? I drank too much last night. I don’t remember what it feels like…”
“You are really annoying. It is my first time. You don’t know how to take pity on others…” Wang Xiaoran’s coy voice enchanted Yu Chi deeply…
So, under the “half-willing” circumstance, Wang Xiaoran and Yu Chi had s*x once again. However, Wang Xiaoran really knew how to act; she brought joy in the midst of the pain. Yu Chi did not suspect anything, thinking that today was really her second time…
Jing Xiaolu initially thought that after one night, things would calm down. She went home and thought about it carefully. The rumor stops at the wise man. If she were eager to clarify something, it would raise suspicion. The best way at this moment was to play deaf-mute and pretend not to know anything. Therefore, matters had slowly passed by.
However, Jing Xiaolu was wrong this time. She came to the company the next morning, and even the company’s cleaners looked at her with a weird gaze. One can only imagine how fast rumors spread. In just one night, it became well known.
In the beginning, Jing Xiaolu was still calm. However, the increasing weird gazes and whispers made Jing Xiaolu feel uncomfortable! Especially when she went upstairs, there were still a lot of people who commented on her body. The revere they had of her at the company previously was gone.
Previously, most people heard that Jing Xiaolu had a very good background. Her boyfriend and the president of the head office had an unusual relationship, so everyone was very kind to Jing Xiaolu.
But now, when the post came out, many people believed it. When one or two people talked about it, it was nothing. However, when people all over the company were talking about it, everyone thought that the post was true. Moreover, the previous rumors of Jing Xiaolu’s background became her just being boastful. After all, no one had seen her legendary boyfriend, but rather, everyone saw this post on the Internet. Hence, everyone would tend to incline toward the online post.
Moreover, in everyone’s eyes, Jing Xiaolu had become the bitch that lies, was mad about money, and contradicted her own words. Jing Xiaolu was about to explode in a fury, but nothing could be done. They were other people’s mouths; she couldn’t control them, and she couldn’t always explain it to others, right?
Back in the office, Jing Xiaolu felt more and more wronged. What is this? Who is so wicked and makes such a thing? Am I such a lowly person? One month’s usage only to be exchanged for one week’s use of a BMW? Am I stupid?
Throughout the day, Jing Xiaolu was dizzy and didn’t know what to do. She only felt that no matter where she went, many eyes looked at her from behind, staring at her, and gossiping. Although she couldn’t understand what they were saying, it certainly would not be anything good.
However, Wang Xiaoran was proud. She always regarded Jing Xiaolu as her enemy. This time, she not only got together with Yu Chi but also ruined Jing Xiaolu. Wang Xiaoran felt that she was really a genius. She could cause such a huge storm from a simple post.
When Wang Xiaoran got off work at night, she held hands with Yu Chi. It just so happened that she saw Jing Xiaolu, who was frowning on the first floor of the company. She was a little excited and couldn’t help but go forward. “Xiaolu, your boyfriend, who drives the BMW, didn’t pick you up?”
Ever since Ju Xiaolu started working until now, no boyfriend drove a BMW to pick her up before, so Wang Xiaoran was obviously talking nonsense, looking for trouble for no reason. How could Jing Xiaolu not hear her secret irony?
Jing Xiaolu coldly looked at Wang Xiaoran and said, “My boyfriend is very busy. Is there a problem?”
“Very busy…” Wang Xiao blinked and said peculiarly, “I thought what was said on the Internet is true…”
Jing Xiaolu looked at the woman next to her in disgust. If it were before, Jing Xiaolu would have slapped her in the face, but now, Jing Xiaolu had become more restrained because Yang Ming said that he did not like delinquent girls. So, Jing Xiaolu had changed a lot.
“I am also very busy. If there is nothing else, I will go first.” Jing Xiaolu turned sideways and walked quickly toward the door, going into the entrance of the subway station.
Wang Xiaoran was proud of her own run on Jing Xiaolu, but when she turned around, she saw her boyfriend, Yu Chi, staring in the direction of Jing Xiaolu’s departure. Immediately, she was a bit uncomfortable. You still can’t let her go. So, she snorted and said, “What? You still have that lowly woman in your heart?”
“No…” Yu Chi was shocked. He didn’t want to offend Wang Xiaoran at this time. He quickly shook his head. “I’m just seeing that this woman is still stubborn and proud even at this time!”
Wang Xiaoran thought, At least, you’re tactful. Since you have already got into my pants, do you think I can let you go?
“Dear, where do we go for dinner later?” Wang Xiaoran heard Yu Chi say this, and her expression had turned sweeter than before.
“Dinner? Ugh…” Yu Chi thought of a serious problem. My future expenses are much higher than before. The thousands of yuan earned each month might not be enough to eat with Wang Xiaoran.
However, even so, Yu Chi had to force himself to agree. It seemed that I have to find some ways to make some money later, thought Yu Chi.
Jing Xiaolu had a class at school in the evening. She took the subway back to the dormitory as she planned to change her clothes before going to class. On the way, she saw Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao talking about something.
Jing Xiaolu was in a bad mood and did not think about participating in their topic. She nodded to them and wanted to go inside the dormitory.
“Xiaolu, have you just gotten off work?” Ge Xinyao saw Jing Xiaolu and asked with concern.
” En …” Jing Xiaolu nodded in low spirits and went into the dormitory.
“Xiaolu, what’s wrong with you? You look so sullen. Is there something wrong?” Ge Xinyao was more familiar with Jing Xiaolu; they had been friends since childhood, so Jing Xiaolu’s emotional changes naturally couldn’t be hidden from her. Ge Xinyao noticed that she was unusual from just one glance.
“I’m fine…” Jing Xiaolu sighed and shook her head because even if she told Ge Xinyao about the things she had encountered, Ge Xinyao could not help her. On the contrary, it would worry her.
“Xiaolu, you must have something that you’re worried about!” Ge Xinyao saw that Jing Xiaolu’s sighed, and she was even more sure that was the case. She held Jing Xiaolu’s hand and frowned. “Xiaolu, is anyone bullying you?”
Lin Zhiyun and Jing Xiaolu were also considered very close friends. When she saw Jing Xiaolu like this, she also worriedly asked, “Xiaolu, what has wronged you? Is it something in your job?” Jing Xiaolu just returned from the company. Therefore, Lin Zhiyun naturally thought that Jing Xiaolu was wronged because of work. “Did the company leader scold you? Go back and look for Yang Ming to fire that person!”
Lin Zhiyun would not interfere with Yang Ming’s affairs, but at this moment, she said it to try to make Jing Xiaolu happy.
“No…” Jing Xiaolu couldn’t be helped after being questioned by the two of them, so she had to explain the whole story. “Someone posted something about me online. You tell me. Am I unlucky?”
“Posted online? What happened?” Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao were stunned. They didn’t know what Jing Xiaolu meant.
” Ai , it couldn’t be explained no matter how I explain it. So, I will search online for you all to see, and then you will know what’s going on!” Jing Xiaolu opened Lin Zhiyun’s laptop in the dormitory and quickly opened the browser. She entered a URL and promptly found the post about her. “Okay, look.”
Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao curiously got together and looked at the post that was mentioned by Jing Xiaolu. They couldn’t help but be increasingly shocked as they continued to read it. When they finally saw Jing Xiaolu’s photo, Lin Zhiyun exclaimed, “Xiaolu, isn’t this your photo?”
“That’s right! I don’t know who I offended. Someone actually posted such a post of me online. I like BMWs, but I wouldn’t get one in exchange for myself!” Jing Xiaolu pouted in a grievance.
“Yeah, you just tell Yang Ming. Why do you need to be like this?” Ge Xinyao also interjected at the side.
Jing Xiaolu quickly glared at Ge Xinyao. She didn’t really have any relationship with Yang Ming. Ge Xinyao was unclear and misunderstood their relationship, but Lin Zhiyun knew for sure. Therefore, when Ge Xinyao said this, Lin Zhiyun would inevitably ask something.
Ge Xinyao thought that Jing Xiaolu was like this because Lin Zhiyun was here, so she smiled and closed her mouth. However, after listening to Ge Xinyao, Lin Zhiyun nodded. “Yes. If Xiaolu likes it, ask Yang Ming to lend the car to you for a few days.”
Seeing that Lin Zhiyun did not doubt anything, Jing Xiaolu was relieved, “Ai, it’s not that I must drive the BMW, but this post is too irritating. How can it be like this? How can I raise my head in the company in the future?”
Indeed, Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao also nodded in agreement. The rumors were not terrifying; the terrifying thing was that the rumor would seemingly become the truth once everyone passed around the rumor.
“Xiaolu, you shouldn’t be angry.” Lin Zhiyun thought about it and said, “I think this matter happened because someone wanted to frame you!”
Lin Zhiyun may be innocent, but she wasn’t as naive about the world as much as she was previously. After she came into contact with businesses, she also understood the intrigue between people. Therefore, she suddenly thought of the factors behind the matter. “Think about it. Could you have offended someone?”
” En , what Zhiyun said is right. Xiaolu, have you offended anyone in the company?” Ge Xinyao also nodded and asked.
“Who did I offend? I really didn’t seem to have offended anyone?” Jing Xiaolu thought about it carefully and shook her head again. “I am always very kind now. Who could I have offended?”
“That’s strange. From the photo’s point of view and location, it must have been taken at your company, and by a person who is familiar with you. Therefore, I think that this person who created this post is likely to be an employee of your company,” said Ge Xinyao.
“I also thought about it, but there are so many employees in the company. Who knows who posted it?” Jing Xiaolu shook her head. “It is impossible to find out who posted this.”
“It’s not impossible…” Lin Zhiyun shook her head. “Xiaolu, do you know Jiajia? Isn’t your relationship with her good?”
” En , what’s wrong?” Jing Xiaolu nodded and asked. How could her relationship with women around Yang Ming not be good?
“Zhou Jiajia is a computer expert!” Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, “Xiaolu, you won’t not know, right? Jiajia is a freshman student, but she has already participated in the research group organized by the school. Also, the other team members are all graduate students or Ph.D. students!”
” Ah , that’s so great!” Jing Xiaolu’s eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t expect Zhou Jiajia to have this talent. It seemed that none of the women around Yang Ming were useless beauties.
“Yeah, Zhou Jiajia is an expert, especially in hacking.” Lin Zhiyun nodded and said, “If you ask her about this, I believe that she would be able to find out who did it very quickly.”
“That’s great!” After listening to Lin Zhiyun’s words, Jing Xiaolu came to the spirit and waved her small fist. Then she said, “Let me know who did it. I will not spare him!”
However, Jing Xiaolu immediately got a little upset., “However, Jiajia is so busy. Can she help me…”
Jing Xiaolu and Zhou Jiajia had only eaten together a few times. Although they seemed to be very familiar, who could guarantee that the relationship between the two people would be very close? No matter what, it couldn’t be compared to Ge Xinyao and Lin Zhiyun. Therefore, Jing Xiaolu was afraid that Zhou Jiajia would not help, especially since Zhou Jiajia also participated in the school’s research group. How could Zhou Jiajia have time to care about her matters?
“How about this? I will go back and help you ask in the evening.” Lin Zhiyun thought about it; she didn’t dare to promise for Zhou Jiajia, but she would try her best to help Jing Xiaolu to ask Zhou Jiajia for help.
She was such a warm-hearted girl. Lin Zhiyun felt that it was difficult for Jing Xiaolu to bear since she had been framed. If she could help Jing Xiaolu find the person behind-the-scenes, her innocence could be regained, and it would cheer her up.
Jing Xiaolu expressed her thoughts to Lin Zhiyun and Ge Xinyao, especially since Lin Zhiyun had promised her to help to ask Zhou Jiajia for help. Therefore, Jing Xiaolu was a lot more relieved and not as depressed as before. She changed her clothes and went to class.
Lin Zhiyun didn’t have class tonight, so she left the dormitory after talking with Ge Xinyao for a while. This evening, she agreed with Yang Ming to go back earlier and continue to practice that knife-throwing.
…………
“Xiaolu?” Yang Ming was downstairs of the Lin Zhiyun’s dormitory, waiting for her to come down. Chen Mengyan had a late class tonight. The time difference was quite organized; Yang Ming didn’t have a late class tonight, so he planned to pick up Lin Zhiyun first to go back and practice knife-throwing for a while, and then wait for Chen Mengyan to finish class to pick her up after class.
Parking the car aside, Yang Ming did not sit in the car but jumped out of it and stood by the roadside. It would always attract some attention if he sat in the BMW, such as those vague and self-evident things, making Yang Ming somewhat uncomfortable. There would always be girls coming over to hit on Yang Ming, which made him secretly exclaim that college students were too open nowadays where they would use this to exchange for money and vanity.
Otherwise, why would the TV always show those gold-diggers that sat in the BMW crying or what not? Hence, Yang Ming was too lazy to care about them. He immediately got off, stood on the side, and acted as if the car had nothing to do with him. A few girls looked at the car and found no one, so they looked at Yang Ming on the side. They couldn’t connect the two together, so they were disappointed and left.
After all, Yang Ming’s current manner of dress made him look like a full-fledged college student, a body full of Li Ning’s sportswear, clean and neat. No one would associate him with luxury cars, prodigal sons, and the like.
Yang Ming didn’t see Lin Zhiyun, but saw Jing Xiaolu head down from the dormitory building and walk away quickly. It seemed that she did not notice him, so Yang Ming was somewhat curious.
Usually, Jing Xiaolu would absolutely have no reason not to notice him if he were standing there, but she did not see him at the moment. Yang Ming didn’t know what the little girl was thinking, so he called her.
“Ah?” Jing Xiaolu was stunned; she didn’t expect someone to call her. She turned around and found out that it was Yang Ming. She was somewhat happy and a little angry. She was happy because she liked Yang Ming and felt happy when she saw him.
She was angry because she remembered the words that Wang Xiaoran said when she got off work today. This Yang Ming is also unbelievable. If you promised me to let me be your lover, and drive and pick me up once in a while, wouldn’t the rumors in the company be non-existent ?
