981 Perplexed and Smitten 41 (1/2)
Her answer greatly peeved Wen Lele, who then said, ”Ms. An, I told all my former classmates about it and they were all really surprised. They've even given us their well wishes.”
An Xiaoning answered bluntly, ”I'm not your old classmate anyway. Seems like you agreed to marry him and my words have fallen on deaf ears. I did expect that he would ask you to become his girlfriend but I didn't expect him to propose to you. That's quite a big sacrifice.”
”Ms. An, are you trying to say that I'm not good enough for him?” Wen Lele questioned, feeling a little offended.
”Although you two are very compatible in terms of IQ, Wen Lele, I'm telling you, you're no match for his intelligence. Stop telling me about your affairs with him. I'm not interested at all. Just do whatever you want.”
Wen Lele's initial feelings of joy were dampened. An Xiaoning's words were just like a wet blanket that wiped the smile off her face. ”Actually, he has already explained everything to me. If it's really that dangerous, he wouldn't have wanted to go either.”
An Xiaoning sighed and gibed, ”Whenever I reach a point where I can't seem to communicate with people like you, I always tell myself something.”
”What is it?”
”My purpose of living is to bring joy and excitement to my own life, not to enlighten fools. Wen Lele, you've really lived the 32 years of your life in vain. You're no longer 22 years old, can you please use your brains to think before making decisions? Are your brains fried?”
If it weren't because it was Mr. Xiao's orders, she wouldn't have agreed to go at all.
She only agreed because she had no idea when she could finally get the full picture of her previous lifetime and decided that it wouldn't be a big deal to complete the task if it meant that he could tell her everything. But how could it be the same for Wen Lele and He Yi?
Even if Mr. Xiao doesn't do anything to He Yi when he's there, how could they possibly hide from those blood-feeding tribes?
”Ms. An, you're too vicious. I'm two years older than you and yet you criticized me like I was a child. I do think I'm rather intelligent.”
”Okay, I said so much and yet that's the only thing that you registered and care about. I have nothing to say anymore. I'm hanging up.”
She ended the call straight away, feeling a strong urge to cut Wen Lele's brains open to see if they were filled with poop.
It was truly tiring to communicate with someone whose brain worked in a different way.
Jin Qingyan had returned by the time her mask dried up.
She first told him about Wen Lele, which left him flabbergasted. ”I initially had a vague memory about her, but after what you said, I suddenly remember all the silly things she had done back in high school.”
”What did she do?”
”She seems to be from a very poor family. I used to throw away all the gifts and things that my suitors left inside the drawer of my table. I stopped receiving them after a while so I really thought that they had really learned their lesson. However, I found out later that Wen Lele actually took all the gifts away secretly. She even hid it from me. I only found out when one of the girls brazenly asked me if I liked the gift she had given me.”
An Xiaoning scoffed and said, ”Such people actually exist. However, you shouldn't have thrown those gifts away and just returned it to them instead.”
”There are so many of them, I can't possibly return all to them one by one. I still had other things to do like attending lessons. Time is precious and I didn't want to waste it on those frivolous things.”
”Let's not talk about that. Mr. Xiao came tonight and asked me to do something for him,” said An Xiaoning, who then recounted her conversation with him.
Jin Qingyan was peeved immediately after hearing that she would have to travel abroad again, because that would mean that he wouldn't get to see her.
