She watched the two of them sit down at a nearby table, Chu Shiwu even taking up the menu and inviting Su Wanwan to order with a pleasing smile.
Her fingers tightly clasped together.
Under this glaring contrast in attitude, Wu Ying felt even more embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Chu Shiwu glanced over at her, looking extremely impatient, âWhy havenât you two left yet?â
Wu Ying bravely managed to squeeze out a smile, âChu Shiwu, I wanted to tell you todayâ¦â
But she was interrupted before she could finish, âHurry up and leave. Donât disturb us having dinner.â@@novelbin@@
After Chu Shiwu finished speaking, he immediately switched to a bright smile and looked at Su Wanwan, âThe chopped pepper fish head here is not bad.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
She had only met Chu Shiwu a few times, and they merely nodded to each other when they occasionally encountered each other at school. She had always thought that he and Ling Zhizhou were of similar types, refined, handsome, and polite.
However, she hadnât expectedâ¦
That he would be so blunt towards a girl he didnât like.
She suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Wu Ying.
Wu Ying had been chasing Chu Shiwu for a while now, and if Chu Shiwu maintained this attitude, how strong was her willpower to persist until now?
ââ¦â The room fell silent.
Finally, Wu Ying couldnât bear it any longer and turned to run away.
Li Xiaolin gave Su Wanwan a smile before quickly following after her.
Carefully, Su Wanwan asked, âHow did they offend you?â
Chu Shiwu laughed, âItâs ok, sister-in-law, I didnât blame you for giving her my WeChat.â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
Awkward.
âSister-in-law, order some dishes.â
ââ¦Oh.â She could only bow her head and silently order.
**
First floor.
Just after leaving the dining hall, Wu Ying said, âIâm going to the library.â
Li Xiaolin was taken aback, âDidnât we just go this morning?â
âI suddenly remembered that I forgot to borrow a book, Iâll go myself, you donât have to come.â After saying that, Wu Ying quickly ran off with her umbrella.
â¦
Wu Ying went to the school store, then went to the parking lot behind the teaching building.
Because of the rain, there was no one in the parking lot at this time, the school didnât have many cars parked, and Su Wanwanâs little red car stood out among the others, particularly eye-catching.
Wu Ying looked around, and then went over without anyone noticing.
**
Second floor cafeteria.
After eating, Su Wanwan returned the black umbrella to Chu Shiwu.
âSister-in-law, you are too polite.â
Su Wanwan smiled, âI have an interview this afternoon, I need to leave first.â
âAlright.â
Chu Shiwu was originally watching Su Wanwan leave with a smile, but she unexpectedly went to the checkout counter, which scared him and made him hurry over, âSister-in-law, this wonât do.â
But it was already too late, Su Wanwan had already paid with her phone.
âItâs my treat.â
âSister-in-law, my brother will scold me for this.â Chu Shiwu said with a bitter face, âYou are several years younger than me, and how can you let a woman pay the bill?â
Wouldnât he lose face if the word got out?
Su Wanwan gave a slight smile, âItâs fine, as the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Itâs only right for me to treat you to a meal.â
Chu Shiwu: ââ¦â
What a nice saying of an elder sister-in-law is like a mother.
This made him speechless.
âAlright, I have to go back and prepare for the interview. Iâm leaving first.â After saying that, Su Wanwan left with poise.
When she got to the ground floor, she received a message from Chu Shiwu on her phone, [Sister-in-law, please donât tell my brother that you treated me to a meal. Please. Please.]
Su Wanwan: ââ¦Alright.â
â¦
After Su Wanwan returned to the female dormitory and got her resume ready, she opened her closet to find suitable clothes for the interview.
A white shirt paired with black tapered pants, a pair of black kitten heels, and a ponytail would make her look a bit more brisk and capable.
Finally, she applied a light makeup for herself.
She then looked into the mirror.
Yes, perfect!
It was a little past two in the afternoon, and the interview was scheduled for half past three. Su Wanwan thus took out her phone and called Mo Weiyi.
âWeiyi, are you at Yurui now?â
âNo, Iâm at home.â
âAh? Are you sick?â
Mo Weiyi coughed twice, âNo, I just didnât pay attention and tripped, spraining my foot.â
âWell then.â Su Wanwan gave in, âIâm going for an interview at a drama group soon, which is really close to the Yurui Law Firm. I initially thought of asking you out for afternoon tea after it finishes, but since you are not there, never mind.â
âReally? Which drama group? Where is it?â Mo Weiyi excitedly asked.
âIâll know the exact location once Iâm there. Anyway itâs pretty close by, at Yatt Road. If I successfully pass the interview today, we can have lunch together in the future.â
âWow, thatâs great, Wanwan, you must do your best and get in!â
âIâm not sure if I can get in, but Iâll try my best. If I canât, Iâll have to go back to my internship at the TV station.â
âThe TV station is too far from me, Wanwan, you must get into this drama crew. Then we can go to work as we used to.â
Su Wanwan laughs, âOkay, Iâll give it my all.â
âWanwan, youâre the best, Iâm sure you will succeed.â
Su Wanwan shivers, âAlright, alright, you should rest now, Iâm about to leave.â
âYes, Wanwan, keep going.â
âGoodbye.â
Su Wanwan hangs up the phone, looks at herself in the mirror, then grabs her car keys and leaves.
The rain outside seems to have intensified.
Spring rain is as valuable as oil.
However, itâs not exactly convenient to go out for an interview in the rain.
Su Wanwan walks to the parking lot under her umbrella, and just as she finds her car, she freezes.
On the windshield of her car, someone wrote the words âCheap womanâ in red marker, even followed by an enormous exclamation point.
Her car was parked under a shed, so it wasnât rained on, but she never expected this.
Instantly, she was consumed with fury.
But it was already two thirty, she had to hurry to her interview, and didnât have time to waste.
Furious, Su Wanwan can only pull out her phone, take several pictures of the damage, and call Zhao Qianqian.
âAre you at the university?â
âIâm working at a TV station.â
Su Wanwan frowns, âNo worries then, gotta go.â
ââ¦Okay.â
After thinking for a moment, she has no choice but to dial Chu Shiwuâs number again.
â¦
Less than 10 minutes later, Chu Shiwu shows up.
As soon as he sees the words on the car, he jumps, âLittle sister-in-law, did you offend someone? This method of retaliation is pretty childish.â
âI have an interview to attend, I donât have time, can you go to security and check todayâs security footage? When the police come, help me explain the situation.â
âYou called the police?â Chu Shiwu gets another shock.
Su Wanwan says as if it were completely matter-of-fact, âIf I donât call the police, should I just let her enjoy the May Day holiday? This time she dared to vandalize my car, maybe next time sheâll attack my face.â
Chu Shiwu: ââ¦â
Fuck!
My little sister-in-law is a badass!
âI have to go, let me know if you find anything.â
Su Wanwan said, leaving Chu Shiwu standing there in admiration.
â¦
Su Wanwan has to take a taxi now.
On the road, she gets a call from Mary.
âMiss Su, have you left yet?â
âYes, Iâm in the car. Iâll be there on time at three thirty.â
âIâm really sorry, I was busy and didnât notice it was raining so heavily. If itâs not convenient, you can definitely come tomorrow.â
âItâs fine, Iâm already on my way, Iâll be there in twenty minutes.â
âAlright then, be careful, take your time, Iâll be at the company this afternoon.â
âOkay, see you later.â
Su Wanwan didnât expect Mary to be so polite.
She seems like sheâll be easy to get along with.
â¦
At three fifteen, Su Wanwan gets off the car.
Along Yatt Road, under a small umbrella, she walks and asks until she finally arrives at her destination.
Itâs a renovated newly modified quadrangle building with two floors.
After introducing herself, the receptionist leads her inside.
The real estate industry in Nancheng is booming, and every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, especially in the developed area near Yatt Road. This large quadrangle with carved wooden panels, ornamental mountains and water is obviously worth a fortune, certainly more than a billion Yuan.
Itâs a typical April day, with lush grass and singing orioles everywhere. The scenery is pleasant, and after the nourishment of the rain, it looks even more fresh and bright.
Following the receptionist, Su Wanwan goes round and round, past one room where people were filming, past another where people were having a passionate discussionâ¦
Most of them are young people, with a strong enthusiasm for work permeating the place.
Finally, they arrive at a reception room.
âMiss Su, please have a seat and wait.â
âAlright, thank you.â
The receptionist pours a cup of warm water onto the tea table and leaves.
Su Wanwan sits and observes the surroundings.
Soon after, a noise of high heels approaches.
Su Wanwan gets up.
A young woman walks in, wearing black and white professional wear, smiling at her, âMrs. Huo, we meet again.â
