Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 3 Two months later (2)
Oh, Gao Jing let out a low cry in his heart.She had her hair cut, and she was still wearing smart jeans and a smart designer brown jacket. She looked like she was ten years ago. She was the same as she is today, with no makeup and eyes like black gemstones. Bright and eye-catching, the face is as clean as the clear sky.He was dumbfounded, and wanted to mobilize all the stiff muscles on his face in the corridor of the police station for the first time, trying to force a smile at her, but he couldn't.Because he knows that no matter how much he smiles at her now, it's useless, and she won't give him a good face.

"Liao Yongli, you are so mean!" Moran rushed to Liao Yongli and punched him, complaining, "You agreed to pick me up? Why didn't you keep your word?"

It turned out that she asked Liao Yongli to pick her up when she came back from France today, Gao Jing thought, but she didn't call him.

"Sorry, Moran, you see I can't help myself, I was arrested." Liao Yongli staggered and laughed.

"By the way, why are you here?" she asked curiously, and she immediately noticed the handcuffs on his wrists.

"He attacked the police at noon today." Gao Jing interrupted, but she ignored him and just looked at Liao Yongli.

"What's going on? Yongli?"

Liao Yongli sighed.

"Mo Lan, I was drunk and hit the policeman. I didn't know he was a policeman." He had an innocent face.

She smiled and said, "You really deserve it!"

"I'm going to be imprisoned for two days. I'm leaving first. We'll talk when I come out. Seeing you is like seeing a ray of sunshine." Liao Yongli winked at her and was dragged away by a criminal policeman.

"Okay. I'll see you then." She smiled and waved him, as if sending him to a plane instead of a detention facility.

When Liao Yongli completely disappeared in the corridor, Moran turned around and wanted to leave. Gao Jing knew that she was probably going to the underground archives room to find her cousin Jonah, who was working as an archiver, and she didn't seem to want to greet him at all. He wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't help it. He wanted to talk to her, so he stopped her behind his back.

"Molan."

She stopped and turned around.

"Hello, Gao Jing." She said coldly.

"You're back." He wished he'd acted more natural, but it sounded silly when he said it.

"Yes." She walked up to him and looked straight at him with cold eyes.

"How are your parents?" He thought of a greeting.

"They're fine, thank you. They talk about you a lot." She smiled slightly, adding, "And your sister."

His heart ached: his sister Gao Jie.He once asked Moran to find Gao Jie an intern job in her husband Liang Yongsheng's law firm, but he never expected that Gao Jie would steal Moran's position as the proprietress less than half a year after entering the firm.Although out of selfishness, he really hoped that Moran could regain his freedom, but he didn't expect that the person who broke her marriage was actually his sister, so he felt ashamed to face her in this matter.

"What are your plans now?" He asked softly with guilt and concern.

"I'm free now. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to date a hundred handsome guys. My goal in life is to break Elizabeth Taylor's record of eight marriages." She put her hands in her trouser pockets and said with a smile, and then she He patted him on the shoulder calmly, as if to comfort him, "I'm fine, Gao Jing, don't worry. But in the future, we'll have less contact, I'm really afraid of you brothers and sisters."

This was the expected result, but he still felt that he had been hit in the head, so that until she left for a long time, he still stood where he was, not recovering.

Moran left Gao Jing behind and hurried into the basement, feeling pain in his heart.

For 11 years, she has known Gao Jing for 11 years. She has always regarded him as her best friend and treated the two brothers and sisters sincerely, but who knows that in the end, she lured the wolf into the house and shot herself in the foot.Now whenever she thinks of Liang Yongsheng holding Gao Jie's hand and walking up to her a few months ago, and blatantly telling her that they are already in love, she feels cold all over her body.That's right, it was her careless making friends that ruined her life.She wants to correct this mistake.

Alright, goodbye, Gao Jing, we will go our separate ways from now on, she said in her heart as she turned into the underground file room.She feels that even saying "hello" to Gao Jing today is a waste of time.

"Wow, you're back!" the archivist's cousin Jonah gave a hoarse cheer at the sight of her.

Moran immediately ran up to give his cousin a warm hug.

"Haha, I'm back, you miss me." Seeing her cousin, her mood immediately improved.

"Damn it, you're short-haired. What's the matter?" Jonah looked at her short hair curiously with goldfish eyes.

"is it beautiful?"

"It's almost like Liu Hulan! Are you ready to start a new life?" Jonah rolled his eyes and looked at her seriously.

Moran gave her a blank look.

"What do you know, this hairstyle is very classic, I got it cut in the best hair salon in Paris!"

"Oh." Jonah stared at her hair unresponsively, as if comparing it with the color picture of Liu Hulan in memory.

Moran didn't mind either. She knew that ever since her cousin's husband died in the line of duty as an anti-narcotics policeman, her cousin had completely isolated herself from the outside world and immersed herself in thousands of criminal files all day long. When she talks about women's topics, she is playing the piano to the cow.

"I just met Liao Yongli in the corridor. He didn't come to pick me up at the airport because he was drunk and attacked the police at noon today." Thinking about it, Moran found it inconceivable. How could the always gentle Liao Yongli hit someone?
"Who picked you up then?" Jonah asked back.

"It's Liang Yongsheng." Moran curled his lips, unwilling to say the name.

"I knew it was him. He called me twice to ask me which flight you were on, but I ignored him. He still treats you like a dog seeing a meat bun." Jonah said.

"Never mind him!" This topic annoyed Moran, and she immediately changed the subject, "I've been away for so many days, do you have any important calls and letters from me?"

"Dai Anan called yesterday and asked when you would be back. After telling you to come back, I will contact her immediately." Jonah made a disgusted expression. She had never liked Dai Rou, and thought her life was too loose. She is a sheep, and she insists that Dai Rou belongs to condoms, and always calls her "Dai An An".

I don't know why Dai Rou is in a hurry to find her.

Sitting in Jonah's office, she dialed Dai Rou's cell phone with Jonah's cell phone.

"Hey! You're back." Dai Rou's voice sounded enthusiastic.

"Yeah, I just got off the plane at 2:[-] in the afternoon." Moran knew that Dai Rou had just finished her work coffee at this time, and she was chatting online and answering her phone at the same time.

She asked Dai Rou: "I heard you looked for me yesterday?"

"Little bitch! Did you bring me a gift?" Dai Rou really convinced her that every friend could be called an escort in the ballroom, but Moran didn't mind, as she was used to being called anyway.

"Of course, I brought you the Chanel perfume and clothes you wanted. Come and get them sometime. Let's have a good meal together. I just want to eat good food now. I lost 15 pounds and I'm in my early 80s .”

"Little bitch! Are you deliberately angry with me? I just gained 5 pounds this month, and I even started to pant when I climbed the stairs. Recently, I am so busy that I don't go back until 7 o'clock every night, and I often have to Cooking for my boyfriend made me exhausted. I thought I could lose weight, but the more I ate, the fatter I became."

"what are you busy with?"

"Recently, we are working on an advertising plan for an adult toy. I am in charge. The other party is a picky woman. I can't stand it. Oh, I really envy you that you don't have to go to work."

"You still envy me being dumped by a man. By the way, let's eat bone soup hot pot together." Moran suggested enthusiastically, "I really want to eat hot pot."

"Then it's better to eat Du Xiaomei's Eight Fresh Soup." Dai Rou said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Haven't you eaten that eight fresh soup?" Moran was surprised, the invitation was sent two months ago.

"She later heard that you weren't coming, so she changed the date. Who knows what she thought. Isn't she always capricious?" Dai Rou seemed to be sneering.Moran seemed to see her clasping the phone between her head and neck while she typed skillfully with her fingers painted with bright red nail polish.

"What do you want from me? Did she send out another invitation?" Moran asked.

"Yes, she sent me the same invitation the day before yesterday."

"But she didn't send it to me." Moran muttered, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked the letter carefully after returning home, so he had no way of knowing whether he had received the invitation.

"She must have sent you an invitation, and you are her important guest." Dai Rou suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Little bitch, tell me the truth, do you have some... special relationship with Liao Yongli? Otherwise, why does Du Xiaomei want to see you so much?"

"Fuck you. What kind of ambiguous relationship do I want to have with Yongli? Do I still have to wait for Du Xiaomei to show up? I've known him since I was a child." Moran said angrily, but she also found it strange that Du Xiaomei had determined the time for her to return to China Could it be that the invitation was really changed for her? Why did Du Xiaomei want to see her so much?She wanted to know too.

She suddenly remembered the phone call she made to Du Xiaomei two months ago.

"Xiaomei, I'm sorry, I'm going to visit relatives in France, I can't come to your party." Moran said apologetically.

"Ah, really? That's such a pity. Moran, I really want to see you, I really want to see you." Du Xiaomei's voice sounded very sincere.

"Have fun, you guys. I'll come and see you when I get back to China."

"Oh, well, my dear, don't be too sad, the fact of divorce is too common. We will miss you." At that time, when Moran heard Du Xiaomei say this, he felt as if he had been slapped on the face. A slap in the face was neither light nor heavy, and she still felt panicked after she hung up the phone.

After talking with Dai Rou, Moran asked Jonah who was working on the side.

"Are there any invitations sent to me these days?"

"There is one. It's from Du Xiaomei." Jonah added immediately after speaking, "Don't think I opened your letter, she wrote her name on the envelope."

Sure enough, it has been sent, Du Xiaomei is really strange, why does this Eight Fresh Soup Banquet have to wait until I return to China?Does she really want to see me that much?It was clear from the last phone call that she didn't like me, so why the hell?

Moran decided to go to the banquet first.
