“Are you talking to me?” Xu Jiaojiao looked at her in confusion.
“Is there anyone else here?” Bai Mengyao looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a pale face.
“What do you want?” Xu Jiaojiao frowned.
“Let’s talk somewhere else!” Bai Mengyao said as she walked out of the bathroom. Xu Jiaojiao followed her to the observation deck of the celebration banquet hotel.
Standing at the observation deck, Bai Mengyao looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a melancholic expression. “Did you know? Lu Zhuo and 1 were very much in love when we were in university. He was an influential figure in the university. There were many girls who pursued him, but he didn’t take them to heart, except for me.”
Xu Jiaojiao frowned slightly. “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.”
“How could you say that? It was you who appeared between us and became the third party in our relationship. Back then, we were about to get married. We even discussed how many children we would have in the future. If it weren’t for you, we would have gotten married long ago and even become a family of three.”
Bai Mengyao accused her of being a mistress, but Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes were like clear lake water. There were no ripples of emotions at all. “Ms. Bai, you seem to have made a mistake. I never got between the two of you. Before I came here, 1 didn’t know that Lu Zhuo had a girlfriend. The Lu Family separated the two of you. It had nothing to do with me. Before 1 came here, all 1 knew was that I had a fiance here.”
“Ha! Stop pretending. You just want all the men to revolve around you. Only then will you feel charming.”
“I never felt that way.”
“Yes, you did. You played hard to get so that Lu Zhuo could never forget about you, making it difficult for him to choose between us. Don’t you think that’s despicable?”
“Despicable? I think you’re even more despicable, aren’t you?” Xu Jiaojiao did not want to endure the insults anymore. “Back then, you abandoned Lu Zhuo and went overseas. You even accepted two million bucks from Grandma Lu. Do you deny that?”
Hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s words, Bai Mengyao’s expression changed again and again. “That damned old lady forced me back then. I’m just a student. I couldn’t compete with her at all.”
“Ha! Now you’re pretending! You could have just told Lu Zhuo directly or called the police, but you didn’t do anything. You obviously left him for money. You don’t love him that much at all,” Xu Jiaojiao enunciated each word clearly and logically.
“Well, do you love him that much then? You leaped into someone else’s arms immediately after he ran away from the marriage! What right do you have to criticize me?” Bai Mengyao refused to give up.
“That’s right. I don’t love him that much. That’s why 1 left him.” Xu Jiaojiao told the truth honestly. Bai Mengyao could not believe that Xu Jiao jiao could just say it like that.
Xu Jiaojiao felt that no one was perfect, and it was not wrong to love someone less.
Of course, she could face it calmly. So what if she did not love Lu Zhuo? Why should she hide it? She could just say it out loud!
“Xu Jiaojiao, you…” Bai Mengyao was about to say something when she suddenly saw a figure walking over from afar.
Her expression changed. She grabbed Xu Jiaojiao’s hand and placed it on her chest before falling over.
“Ah!” Xu Jiaojiao stared blankly at Bai Mengyao as she collapsed into the pool next to the observation deck. “Xu Jiaojiao, I was only asking you to get back together with Lu Zhuo. Why did you push me?”
Huh?
What kind of performance was this?
Then, Xu Jiaojiao saw Lu Zhuo walking over.
‘Is she trying to frame me? Is Lu Zhuo going to yell at me now?’
Xu Jiaojiao met Lu Zhuo’s gaze. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
‘Come on, scold me! Why aren’t you cussing me out?’
“Jiaojiao, are you alright?” Lu Zhuo asked Xu Jiaojiao gently.
“I’m… I’m fine.” That was not how things were supposed to go. Why was he asking if Xu Jiaojiao was alright? How strange…
“Lu Zhuo…” Bai Mengyao’s entire body was soaked in water, but she could not believe Lu Zhuo’s attitude.
“Aren’t you going to scold me?” Xu Jiaojiao asked Lu Zhuo curiously.
“Why should 1? Silly little girl, your friend is still waiting for you inside. Go back inside!” The way Lu Zhuo called her ‘silly little girl’ gave Xu Jiaojiao goosebumps. She wanted to escape immediately.
However, she turned back not long after leaving. Bai Mengyao was crawling out of the pool at the time, and Xu Jiao jiao pushed her back into the water.
“There, you said 1 pushed you, right? Now I’ve done just that. You were right.” With that, she turned around and ran.
Looking at Xu Jiaojiao’s back, Lu Zhuo could not help but laugh. He had not realized that she was so honest and adorable before..
