12 Chapter 12 (2/2)
”Look at this mouth,” Tang Yao smiled perfectly and said, ”If your appearance is common, then it must be difficult for Wei Chu to pick you from the pile.”
”Must be because I jumped really high so Senior Wei Chu chose me,” Su Le treated what Tang Yao said as a joke and followed up with that line. But to Tang Yao, she thought Su Le was admitting that there was a relationship, so she treated Su Le as her friend's future wife and decided to look after Su Le, though she had originally thought Su Le was pleasing to her eye.
Between women if they did not have a good impression of each other, then no matter what happened, they still could not be friends. Between friends, however, everything could be potentially shared, apart from men.
Mrs Zhang thought for a while and she really couldn't remember where she had seen Su Le before, so she didn't carry on asking and instead, changed the topic to chat about something else.
Lin Qi clearly felt that these women were excluding her. So even though Lin Qi was still smiling, she felt hatred towards Su Le. Su Le really had good tricks. Pretending to be noble and virtuous, even when others were gossiping about her, she was still acting as if she was being courteous.
Su Le who was chatting with other women didn't know that Lin Qi was attaching such labels to her and carried on chatting with others.
”Talking about novels, I just remembered a good novel to read. Whenever I have afternoon tea, I always read this author's novels.” This young lady was some company boss' daughter and her speech and conduct was always appropriate. ”Do you read 'Shi Huan Ji'?”
”Is it that novel that was split into ten series?” Someone answered. ”I have a signed copy of this book at home. The author's name is very interesting, named Qi Jiu.”
Su Le's lip twitched and for a moment, her expression was strange.
Tang Yao saw this and asked, ”Su Le, do you also read this author's novels?”
Su Le smiled forcefully and nodded, ”yes, I've read them. I prefer another one of her novels called 'Lao An'.” She had spent the most effort on writing this novel, so how could she not like it?
”'Lao An' is that authors most famous novel. It's not bad,” the young lady who started this topic nodded her head. ”But I still like 'Shi Huan Ji' the most. The female leads in that series were all awesome. It really made people feel great. Compared to other novels with female leads who suffer and yearn, this one was much more interesting.”
Su Le smile secretly to one side. She originally wrote that series because she felt irritated by the other romance stories. Su Le did not feel comfortable reading about a female lead living for a man, so she wrote ten stories. Each of them with different female leads from different backgrounds but all of them had one thing in common – they were strong. They all had a lot of pride, but every one of them had the perfect romance.
Frankly speaking, it was no wonder the series was popular with women, since all those female leads were not gentle or helpless, yet they all had a man who loved them dearly.
The group of women carried on chatting for a while before they all left one after the other. In the end, only Tang Yao and Su Le were left from the group. Su Le released a sigh and drained the rest of the glass in one go.
”Su Le, this is my business card. In the future, come out and play when there's time. I still have something to do, so please excuse me.” Tang Yao and Su Le exchanged business cards before Tang Yao stood up and walked towards a crowd. She smiled vaguely when she saw Wei Chu and toasted him, ”This Su Le is not bad.”
Wei Chu smiled gently, ”Of course. She is not bad.”
Tang Yao shook her head and smiled, ”It's rare for you to like a girl, but you need to keep an close eye on such an outstanding woman. Otherwise if there is one day where she is snatched by someone else, it will already be too late to regret it.” After speaking, her sight went towards Su Le and saw that young master Zhuang was currently walking towards Su Le.
