Chapter 26: Relatives and Friends Arrive

  After meeting with Mr. He for the first time as a boss, I'm not sure if I won or lost, but what's certain and worth celebrating is that I didn't lose completely.

  In my dad's words, it means we didn't lose face for the Bai family.

  But my mom was very excited after knowing: "Yao Yao, why didn't you rush up and slap him in the face?!"

  Due to being influenced by various TV dramas and romantic comedies since I was young, I have always thought that this kind of dramatic conflict caused by emotions should be resolved in a certain way. When the betrayer says their first word to the betrayed, the latter should immediately step forward and slap the former with a loud smack on the ear, achieving a shocking and cathartic effect. However, He Mochen's entrance was completely beyond my expectations, leaving me so shocked that I forgot, as the female victim, I had the privilege of slapping him without fear of public criticism. By the time I remembered this privilege, I had unfortunately missed the opportunity.

  After listening to my explanation, my mom was still furious, with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be spewing out real flames, and was taken into the bedroom by my dad to put out the fire with special methods.

  When I was listlessly fiddling with the drawing board in my hand, I suddenly remembered what He Mochen said after saying "good" and added another sentence: "Bai Yaoyao, you really haven't changed at all, no matter when... You are always so heartless."

  When he said this, he was smiling, but his expression was sarcastic and icy cold. The dark eyes were no longer shaded, just like a layer of black frost had condensed in them, which made my eyes ache under the dazzling light. Before I could speak, he took two steps back, turned around and walked away with big strides.

  I stood still and didn't move.

  "Auntie's voice suddenly sounded coldly behind me: 'Still lingering to look at his back, do you really have unfinished feelings for him?'"

  I shook my head and turned around with a frown to say to Auntie, "He left too quickly, I originally wanted to scold him for being ruthless."

  I clearly saw Auntie's eyes twitch slightly.

  Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that He Mochen's parting words are even more ridiculous than a joke. No matter how you look at it, I'm the victim, and he has no right to say I'm heartless. At the same time, I couldn't help but regret that in that situation, if I had gone up and slapped him, the effect would have been quite good too.

  I sighed and found myself still too kind after all.

  The next day, the BFF gang came over as expected, and their intimidating demeanor scared off a few customers who had just walked in, thinking that our dessert shop owed money to some high-interest loan sharks from the underworld and were worried about being affected by the trouble. Luckily, Auntie's gentle smile was able to turn the dark forces into benevolent ones, and the customers sat back down with embarrassed expressions.

  Then my girlfriends continued to force me into a corner, surrounding me tightly, and I was forced to undergo a severe interrogation in an airtight environment.

  "How dare he show his face here? We haven't even gone looking for him yet!" Little Yu's eyes widened in anger.

  I stuck to the wall root and said coolly: "I'm not him, how would I know if he has a face or not."

  "And that Li Chiwei, she's also in University Town, how come you didn't tell us when she came to see you?!" Ah Qian gave me a cold glance.

  "It's because of a twist of fate that we usually don't have a chance encounter, and she was all scolded away by me, I'm telling you it's not intentionally showing off my achievements?"

  "Debauched man and woman! They should be dragged away and drowned in mercury!" Muo Muo said angrily.

  "Actually," I furrowed my brow in thought, "it would be better to cut open the scalp and pour mercury inside?"

  Mumu covered her face and looked at me: "Yao Yao, you're so poisonous!"

  I remain silent and continue to stick to the wall without making any comments.

  "But looking at your reaction, it seems that those adulterers won't have any impact on you from now on." Haiying said with a faint smile.

  I clapped my hands in agreement and smiled at Haiying with a grin: "I told you it was nothing, but you guys didn't believe me."

  She suddenly sank her face: "Yao Yao, you are lying."

  I was stunned, my jaw almost dropping: "Are you kidding me?! I'm just a mortal, can't keep up with your rhythm, great god!"

  "Your ears flail up and down every time you speak without thinking." She stared straight at me.

  I subconsciously wanted to retort a sentence because I was too excited, but the next second I suddenly realized that my ears wouldn't move at all, and I couldn't help but stare at her expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm a pig or something, still flapping up and down?"

  She curled up her lip and said seriously: "And there's an elephant."

  I am speechless.

  "Alright, it's good that you can finally put it down." Ah Qian seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, glancing at me sideways, "This way, when we come to drink desserts in the future, we can rest assured. Otherwise, we'd always be worried that one day you'd think of something and on the eve of your hanging yourself from the eastern branch, you'd still want us to accompany you to our graves."

  I pressed myself against the wall, forcing myself not to look at her, constantly muttering in my heart: She's just concerned about me, it's just a special way, don't blow your top, you have to be calm... calm...

  "He's really good at picking the time, taking advantage of when we're not around to come. Letting him off like this is really letting him off easy!" Xiao Yu's face was gloomy.

  It's still Xiao Yu who is the most considerate, I was moved to hug her arm: "Don't worry, it's better for me to play alone."

  Her face turned even gloomier: "Recently, inspiration has been a bit scarce. I was thinking of finding some trashy soap operas to trigger my bloody factor. Just when I finally stumbled upon this classic case's live broadcast, I actually missed it! Damn!"

  I expressionlessly loosened my grip and tried to pull away from her, but I suddenly realized that the range of movement available to me was really limited, so I had no choice but to slump back against the wall again.

  "I think of that scene and I'm still excited, Yaoyao, were you exuding a murderous aura at that time, like a female Rakshasa crawling out of the underworld? " MuMu pouted, "It would be great if you had recorded it, otherwise we can still comment on your performance."

  ……

  As I watch them fiercely debating one by one, I tremble with the thought of whether to go get some rat poison and settle these four venomous bosom friends once and for all, then go hang myself from a branch in the southeast, so that we can live a carefree life in the underworld from now on.

  But just when I thought this was already the most stimulating thing that had happened today, something even more stimulating appeared - **oss.

  That aunt smiled lightly and said to her best friend Tang: "I almost forgot, when He Mochen came, I was ready to record the video. The development of their relationship afterwards did not disappoint me, it's more wonderful than TV dramas. Come quickly."

  Watching a group of girlfriends swarm over to Auntie, I was completely flustered and petrified.

  To hell with his relatives and friends!
