Chapter 591: I’m Definitely Not Going To Forgive Him This Time

Shui Anluo did not have a phone so she had to call Qiao Yaruan through the landline. Qiao Yaruan heaved a sigh of relief when she received her call.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you weren’t coming home yesterday? Don’t you want your phone and your bag?” Qiao Yaruan growled angrily.

Shui Anluo sat on the upper end of the carpet and smacked her thigh. “Chu Ningyi happened to catch my run-in with Senior Brother and he had thought that I’d done it on purpose. So we fought.”

“Uh, can you beat Director Chu?” Qiao Yaruan clicked her tongue. “My Luoluo sure is great.”

Shui Anluo thought about the injuries on her body but also remembered that Chu Ningyi had been slapped and bitten by her. He was no better off and one could say that they were even.

“That’s not the point, okay? The point is that I had encountered Senior Brother by coincidence. Besides, even if I’d gone to meet my senior brother, it still wouldn’t be my fault. What right does he have to be angry?” Shui Anluo objected loudly.

Qiao Yaruan was currently on her way to the library with her books. “It’s very simple, he’s jealous.”

“But do you think that such a deliberate plan to test my feelings is affection?” Shui Anluo looked down and continued to smack her leg.

“Xiao Luozi, you have to understand that your Director Chu is no ordinary person. He’s the type of person who thinks that loves means that he should do everything for you even if he’s not with you. How could you evaluate him as an average person?” Qiao Yaruan could only console her this way after she recalled everything about Chu Ningyi’s past.

“I’m definitely not going to forgive him this time,” Shui Anluo muttered.

Qiao Yaruan thought for a moment. “Usually, under these circumstances, the male lead would violate the female lead. Could you also have been…”

“You’re overthinking.” He had nearly done that but who asked her to be an ex-wife with a baby. This was the benefit of having a baby.

“It’s already not too bad that your Director Chu can actually get jealous. Really, you can’t expect a god who’s just descended into the mortal realm to get used to everyday life.” Qiao Yaruan sighed. “Besides, your Director Chu is pretty good to you.”

“Why are you helping him so much?” Shui Anluo’s voice became even more muffled. Even her best friend was on his side.

“Be practical and realistic,” Qiao Yaruan said with a smile. “I’ve arrived at the library, I’ll talk to you later.”

“Wait, wait, has madman really left the school?” Shui Anluo stopped her from hanging up with a question.

“Who knows, I’m going in,” Qiao Yaruan said and hung up.

“Hey…” Shui Anluo could not stop her and could only stare at the fixed words in her hands. “Does she like him or not? Should I reveal the madman’s real agenda to the Empress Dowager?”

Shui Anluo knocked her head against the table, why were there so many issues?

The meeting venue that Chu Ningyi had set up with Mo Lusu was not at a hotel nor a cafe. they were going to meet at A lake and its surrounding area Houhai[1].

Not many people were at Houhai at the end of September.

When Mo Lusu arrived, Chu Ningyi was standing at Houhai’s single-arch stone bridge as he waited for him.

Mo Lusu’s casual dress was entirely different from Chu Ningyi’s Western suit.

“Why are we meeting here?” Mo Lusu stood behind Chu Ningyi as he asked.

“This was my aunt’s favorite spot when she was alive,” Chu Ningyi replied calmly.

“Don’t talk about my mother,” Mo Lusu growled angrily. “Is this how your Chu family treats a woman who had sacrificed herself for you? By forcing her to die?”

Chu Ningyi slowly turned around to stare at the furious man. “Looks like you already believe that my aunt had married your father willingly back then and that she hadn’t been forced into it by my grandmother.”
