Chapter 276 The Loser Comes to be Jealous.
In the drink shop.
A drunken Zhu Yulan, a murderous Yao Mingyue, and a silent An Nuannuan.
And Xu Musen with a splitting headache.
The official girlfriend and the childhood sweetheart watching him holding a drunk good friend.
What a perfect picture.
"Listen to me explain."
Xu Musen braced himself, he pried Zhu Yulan's arm off him, fortunately, she had no more strength, lying soft and limp on the chair, she fell asleep.
Turning to look at An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue, he scratched his nose, "Just now she drank too much and almost fell, I just supported her a bit, it was all an accident."
"Supported her a bit, to the point where she refuses to leave you?"
Zhu Yulan grinding her little canine teeth, the official girlfriend hadn't even gotten jealous yet, but her jar of vinegar was about to explode.
Xu Musen, of course, wasn't explaining to her, but to An Nuannuan instead.
An Nuannuan moved her eyes slightly and after a moment of eye contact with Xu Musen, she just uttered an "Oh."
"I see."
"You... "
Yao Mingyue on the side felt like An Nuannuan might be too forgiving. In this situation, shouldn't she go up and slap this little vixen a couple of times?
But before she could even say anything, Xu Musen had already herded the fire-starting Xiao Sickly Cutie aside.
Yao Mingyue clenched her teeth and took the opportunity to twist his waist.
An Nuannuan's expression didn't seem very angry, she looked up with shining eyes at Zhu Yulan lying on the couch, "So, what does she plan to do about this?"
"I'll send a message to her assistant to come take her away. Right, you girls have been shopping for half a day, you must be thirsty too, do you want some juice?"
Xu Musen tried to change the subject.
"Hmph, I dare not drink. Who knows into whose arms I'd recklessly throw myself after drinking."
Yao Mingyue mocked from the side, her little leather-shoed feet stepping on Xu Musen's foot.
Xu Musen flicked her forehead, "Fine, if you won't drink, go and help us order."
Yao Mingyue, furious, opened her mouth as if wanting to bite him.
But Xu Musen was already coaxing An Nuannuan to sit down first.
They must at least wait until Yang Xiaotao arrives to take Zhu Yulan away before they could leave with peace of mind.
Yao Mingyue huffed and deliberately had the waiter bring Xu Musen a glass of apple cider.
Yao Mingyue was drinking a glass of sea salt soda, her gaze still occasionally drifting to Zhu Yulan beside her. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Was this little wretch really drunk, or just pretending to be drunk to take an opportunity to take advantage? Just a bottle or two of cocktails, after all.
Pah, pah, pah!
Yao Mingyue's gaze followed the curve of her lying body. A girl looking at another girl was just the same as a boy's gaze.
Immediately, Yao Mingyue felt slightly superior, and she couldn't help but snicker in her heart.
Little wretch, this bastard Xu Musen likes them big. Even if you're trying to seduce someone, it's definitely not your turn!
But her gaze fell on An Nuannuan's chest... they had shopped for clothes together, so naturally, they also bought lingerie.
That size, it's already comparable to her mother's.
Thinking of it, she couldn't help biting her straw harder, glaring viciously at Xu Musen, you damned cur, as if you're not afraid of gorging yourself to death!
Xu Musen felt her piercing gaze, especially the action of her biting the straw, he couldn't help feeling a chill.
"Is she in a bad mood?"
An Nuannuan was actually looking at the drunken Zhu Yulan, unlike Yao Mingyue's gnashing of teeth.
"Some issues came up at her company recently. I happened to bump into her, saw she was in a foul mood, and just talked to her for a while."
Xu Musen said succinctly, as for her family issues, those were her private matters, and Xu Musen wouldn't gossip about them behind her back.
An Nuannuan nodded. She sipped her orange juice, quiet to an extraordinary degree.
Xu Musen looked at her, but couldn't help smiling in the end, whispering, "How about I explain slowly to you when we get back, okay?"
"Okay."
An Nuannuan nodded more quickly this time, finally willing to let Xu Musen have a sip of her juice.
Xu Musen smiled, indeed she was jealous. He took a sip of the orange juice, finally drowning out the taste of apple cider.
Yao Mingyue continued biting her straw, almost biting it in half.
Tch, keep drinking, drinking something so sweet every day, sooner or later you'll end up with diabetes...
It wasn't long before Yang Xiaotao arrived.
She struggled to carry her petite boss outside, but Zhu Yulan was a little too heavy for Yang Xiaotao's small frame to handle.
Plus, anyone who has carried a drunk person knows that without their cooperation, they keep sagging to the ground, making it harder than moving a large living person.
"Uh, I can't carry her..."
Yang Xiaotao struggled for a while but still couldn't manage to carry her boss away, casting a pleading look at Xu Musen.
Of course, at the same time, there were two other glares.
"..."
Xu Musen rubbed his temples.
"I'll carry her!"
Yao Mingyue suddenly stood up.
Xu Musen raised an eyebrow at her, "You?"
Xu Musen was afraid she might throw Zhu Yulan down from the third floor while carrying her.
"Reluctant to let her go?"
Yao Mingyue sneered.
Xu Musen decisively waved his hand, "No, by all means, please do."
Seeing his expression, Yao Mingyue snorted. She walked over.
Yang Xiaotao still looked skeptical, given the previous conflict between this girl and her boss.
"Really, you're going to do it?"
"Her thin arms and thin legs... I can carry her."
Yao Mingyue almost let her thoughts slip out loud.
Yang Xiaotao also uttered an "Oh," and helped Zhu Yulan onto Yao Mingyue's back.
Yao Mingyue, who usually practices yoga, used strength in her legs and indeed managed to carry Zhu Yulan on her back.
She even gave Xu Musen a special look before carrying Zhu Yulan out the store's front door.
The road wasn't very long; as soon as they exited the doorway, they reached the elevator entrance and went directly down to the underground parking garage.
This stretch of the path also wore Yao Mingyue out considerably.
Every time Xu Musen mentioned that he could carry her instead, Yao Mingyue seemed to gather more energy, huffing and puffing as she marched ahead.
An Nuannuan watched the mischievous smile on Xu Musen's lips, and she felt strangely unsettled inside, always feeling that although Xu Musen was teasing her on purpose, there was a kind of tacit understanding between these childhood friends...
Yang Xiaotao also observed this scene, and her little brain felt somewhat overloaded.
It always seemed to her that the relationships among these three people, including her boss and their interrelations, were very complicated.
Especially considering this girl carrying her boss... it always seemed as though she had a suspicion of being "willing to push her own behind to her love rival in order to protect the male god in her heart."
While carrying Zhu Yulan, Yao Mingyue was also very annoyed, thinking how shameless it was to get drunk and throw oneself into someone else's embrace!
...
Meanwhile.
The watch store.
A man wearing a white suit walked in.
"Master Huang."
The manager of the watch store immediately welcomed the newcomer.
The person was Zhu Yulan's childhood friend, Huang Tianming.
He looked at the manager of the watch store and asked, "Has she been here today?"
"Yes, she was here."
"The watch, bring it here."
Huang Tianming chuckled lightly; everything was going as he had expected.
Corners her into a hopeless situation, then have someone spread the news that she could sell jewelry for cash near her ear, and naturally, she would come to this place to sell her own watch.
And he would come here to buy back the watch she sold, then when she could not hold out any longer, he could use the watch to give her a surprise and caring attention, taking advantage of her vulnerability...
Who could resist such a warm, thoughtful, great guy?
Huang Tianming believed his plan was flawless!
"This..."
The manager seemed a bit embarrassed.
"What's the matter? Afraid I don't have the money to pay?" Huang Tianming raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not, it's just... Miss Zhu did come to sell the watch today, but then someone appeared suddenly and bought the watch."
"Who?" Huang Tianming's brow furrowed.
"I don't recognize him, but he's a young man, about Miss Zhu's age."
Huang Tianming's heart skipped a beat: "About the same age... Is he a big, silly-looking guy with a human face and a dog-like appearance?"
"Um... That should be right."
Huang Tianming instantly conjured an image in his mind, gritted his teeth, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and his scholarly devious face twisted slightly.
"It's you again..."
Perhaps childhood friends have unique ways among themselves; he instantly guessed who the other party might be.
He sneered coldly, his hand slamming hard onto the counter, distorting the shape of his wristwatch slightly!
"Master Huang, you..."
The manager jumped in fright but didn't dare to make a sound.
Huang Tianming, however, slowly calmed his breathing, and then let out a cold chuckle: "Alright, sabotaging my plans time and time again..."
He took off his watch and slammed it on the table before turning and leaving.
Shortly after his departure, another tall and full-figured silhouette approached.
The person was Zhu Yulan's older sister.
Zhu Xianglan.
She was dressed in an antique-style long dress, black and white, accentuating her voluptuous figure like a blooming peony.
Only, this peony was poisonous, and the bystanders dared not look too long.
"Chief Zhu."
The manager greeted her immediately, his tone even more respectful than when he had seen Master Huang.
"Where is her watch?"
"Well, just now when Miss Zhu wanted to sell the watch, a young man..."
"A young man."
Zhu Xianglan paused in thought: "Huang Tianming?"
"No, not him, it was another I've never seen..."
A glint of light flashed in Zhu Xianglan's eyes, and after a moment's recollection, she smilingly said, "It wouldn't happen to be a tall, handsome young man who looks warm when he smiles?"
The manager was taken aback; that description had quite an artistic touch.
"That sounds right, the lady had just bought the watch when he happened upon her..."
The manager recounted the conversation between Xu Musen and Zhu Yulan.
"Not hesitating to lend money and ensuring the watch returned to its original owner," Zhu Xianglan heard this and a smile played upon her exquisite cheeks.
"That's quite interesting."
"This is the watch broken by Master Huang." The manager handed Zhu Xianglan the watch that Huang Tianming had damaged.
Zhu Xianglan took only a glance, her eyes shimmering with a multitude of reflections before she retracted them.
If this was the case... perhaps there might be another path for her naive little sister to follow...
The corners of her mouth curled into an arc.
"The watch is yours now."
Having said that, she turned around and left.
The manager looked at the damaged watch in his hands, momentarily at a loss, realizing that although the watch was broken, it was still very valuable after being refurbished.
He was instantly ecstatic, feeling that the day hadn't been a waste.
As for the affairs among these wealthy individuals, he was too lazy to delve into them.
Outside the hotel, Zhu Xianglan sat in her car, lowering the makeup mirror inside. On top of it was a picture.
In the photo were the three sisters and their mother.
She silently looked at it for a long time, and then smiled faintly.
"Sister, it seems our silly little sister might have found her own path..."
After closing the mirror, she stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.
