Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Especially when Yu Lu took fake evidence and pretended to be considerate of her, but in fact deceived her and alienated her from Gu Yun, Hai Tang felt especially disappointed.
When she thought about how Yu Lu seemed to be close to her, but in fact, she was openly and secretly suppressing her and looking down on her, she felt that she was extremely stupid.
In the past, she was deceived by Yu Heng like this. She did not expect that she would be deceived by Yu Lu again.
Gu Yun picked out the most likely culprit from Hai Tangâs words and asked softly,â Is it Yu Lu? Where are you?â
âYes, itâs her. I caught her lying. Iâm waiting at the entrance of the shop.â Hai Tang replied sullenly. Then, she briefly told Gu Yun what happened when Yu Lu came to the shop in the afternoon.
Hai Tang stood at the door of the shop. She wiped her nose and said aggrievedly,â Thatâs why I suspect that she was the one who threw the suit into our yard. I want to find that female intern and ask her about it.â
Hearing Hai Tangâs pitiful cries, Gu Yun felt like his heart was about to break. His words became gentler and gentler. He comforted her softly.â You donât have to be too sad. Losing a fake friend is actually a good thing.â
As he spoke, Gu Yun stood up and strode forward.
Secretary Li Jiang did not even dare to breathe loudly. He quickly chased after Gu Yun and arranged a car for him in front of him.
âI think so too, but I just canât help but feel sad.â Hai Tang stuttered. She squatted down at the entrance of the shop and looked at the ground as she recalled.â Iâve known her for many years. She treated me quite well back then. I think sheâs a good person.â I thought that we had been friends for many years.
Since she was close to me, I treated her as my friend and never suspected herâ¦â
Hai Tangâs mind gradually recalled her experiences as a student.
Because of the Hai family, Hai Tang had always been studying in an elite school. However, she was the adopted daughter of the Hai family, which was a well-known fact. Therefore, since she was young, her classmates had ostracized her.
Especially the adolescent Hai Tang. She had thick bangs, wore glasses, and had a figure that was better developed than her peers. She also had pimples that popped up from time to time. All of these could easily destroy her self-esteem.
At that time, Hai Tang had almost no friends. The boys made fun of her and despised her for being old-fashioned and dull. The one who treated her better was Yu Heng, who used her as a tool.
The girls in the class were afraid of being affected by her and suffering the same campus violence, so they all stayed away from her.
In Hai Tangâs memory, the only girl who did not discriminate against her and treated her like an ordinary person was Yu Hengâs sister, Yu Lu.
In the past, Yu Lu was proud and arrogant. She wanted to be first in everything and looked down on everyone. Of course, she would not deliberately target Hai Tang, who was already miserable enough.
However, Hai Tang still remembered Yu Luâs kindness to her because of some unintentional actions many years ago. Moreover, when they met again many years later, she was willing to trust Yu Lu and treat her as a friend.
She did not expect that even Yu Lu, who had once brought her some beauty, was essentially as rotten as Yu Heng.
Just like that, Hai Tang held her phone and whispered nonsense at the entrance of the shop. She did not expect Gu Yun to understand, but just wanted to use a channel to talk.
Gu Yun had been listening to her seriously and giving her some responses from time to time.
After recounting her past memories, Hai Tang sniffed and said,â It doesnât matter if we find the girl who sent the suit or not. In any case, Yu Luâs motive is already impure in my eyes. I have to go home later. I want to check with the guard personally.â
With Yu Luâs sudden appearance at her doorstep last night, Hai Tang suspected that Yu Lu could use her connections to enter and leave the neighborhood many times.
If that was the case, it would explain why the suit had appeared in her house.
Just as Hai Tang finished speaking and felt her legs go numb from squatting, she wanted to stand up and move around. Suddenly, Gu Yunâs voice came from above her head.â Iâll go with you.â
Hai Tang did not expect Gu Yun, who had just been talking to her on the phone, to suddenly appear in front of her. She was momentarily stunned.
She saw the thin beads of sweat on Gu Yunâs forehead from rushing over from the company. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.â Gu Yun, didnât I say that I could go over myself? Why are you here?â
âI think you might need someone to accompany you now,â Gu Yun replied in a deep voice..
