Hard and Colorful Life - C191
Once the main characters had taken their seats, the banquet seemed to be ready to begin, but Guan Sheng, who had just said that he would go greet them, had not come back yet.
I could only nod, maintaining my polite but distant smile.
He came rather late, so when Guan Sheng introduced him, he was not here yet. Naturally, I did not recognize him either.
I thought about what Guan Sheng understood about me, and how much of it I had spent in these past few years abroad. If I didn’t say anything about my background, he wouldn’t ask too much, just like how I did with him.
“Going abroad to study is a very romantic thing. I also wanted to date someone when I was still in university, but this medical student’s path is too arduous, and I can’t hold on much longer. Not many people with talent like Dr. Guan can actually study medicine and even study management with two degrees.” I also wanted to find a suitable relationship when I was in university, but this medical student’s path is too arduous.
Hearing him praise Guan Sheng in such a way, I could tell that he was a little jealous, but jealousy isn’t a scary thing. I was afraid that there would be people jealous enough to cause trouble for me.
I also smiled. “Naturally, I can endure it. However, I can’t possibly be a complete human.” He could only say something along the way. It was pretty boring staying here by himself, so he could just stay abroad and listen to the foreigners and talk to them from time to time.
He immediately objected to me, “No no no, if a perfect man like Dr. Guan isn’t perfect, then I won’t accept it.” I thought I had said something wrong. I looked at him with wide eyes and frowned a little.
“Huh?”
“Thinking about how Dr. Guan is so young, even if his education is high, his family still has money and power, but he actually has a good temper, that’s really too much.”
“Looks like I’m really jealous.”
“It’s not that I’m jealous, it’s just that I’m not too bad. The only thing I’m jealous of is this.”
His words were so serious that even I couldn’t help but be curious. The things that he said just now, no one could possibly compare to an ordinary person.
I subconsciously asked, “What other benefits do you have?”
His expression was also cold, and had an expression that said “I won’t ask him for help”. I couldn’t help but to wonder, what other benefits did Guan Sheng have?
After thinking about it, he shook his head, “I can imagine that you did, but it seems that you know him better than I do.”
The man beside him also laughed. The man on the table also looked over and noticed us, “Ai Lisi, it’s best not to listen to him.
I don’t know why I said that. At most, I thought he was very talkative.
“You really want to know?” I can’t do it, and I don’t want to talk.
“Yes.” I only answered him.
He crooked his finger at me, gesturing for me to move closer to him. I frowned, but didn’t do so.
Perhaps seeing that I wasn’t a kind person, he also smiled and said to me in an especially generous manner, “From the looks of it, you probably won’t know about it now. Dr. Guan’s greatest strength is that you have such a beautiful girlfriend.”
“…” Truly a glib tongue!
In the end, he was the one who seemed to be the most out of everyone here, but hearing most of the people discussing the terms I didn’t understand, there were quite a few doctors.
When he saw my expression, he also knew where he was in my heart. He immediately gave an embarrassed smile. “I’m really sorry, Miss Xu. I was just joking with you. Please forgive me.”
“Look, isn’t this just a smooth talker kid? I wonder why he can’t find a girlfriend with his looks, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend.” The people at the table couldn’t stand to watch any longer, so they helped me out.
But I did not notice this, because just now he called me “Miss Xu”, my surname is not Xu, but Yu.
Guan Sheng was introducing my English name to everyone here, and very few people knew my surname, so, either he said the wrong things, or he recognized the wrong person.
But was there really such a Miss Xu with Guan Sheng’s girlfriend?
“Pa ~ ~” The crisp sound startled me, who was still in a daze.
At this moment, the man who was talking to me a moment ago was holding his head and baring his teeth in a grimace. That look was akin to a capital one. Listening to his voice, I was afraid that he was going to be beaten up to the point of pain.
Even so, I didn’t have much sympathy for him. After all, I didn’t really care about him.
Behind him stood a woman in a purple evening dress. Her eyes glanced at him with a look of disdain.
“I told you to fool a little girl here again, it hurts so much that you deserve it!”
Little girl? Are you talking about me?
I couldn’t help feeling that I wasn’t old, but I couldn’t possibly be what they called a little girl. After all, I wasn’t young anymore, and these intellectuals were all people who already had a lot of experience in their jobs.
The man replied back, “Mo Yao, are you sick? You …”
After being glared at, he became terrified. He tidied up his hair and asked, “You, don’t you know that the most important thing for a man is his hair style? After getting messed up by you, what should I do?”
“If you don’t want me to turn your head into a chicken nest right now, then stay away from my Brother Sheng’s girlfriend!” Mo Yao warned him.
It turned out to be Mo Yao, the psychiatrist he met before in the hospital.
Seeing her dressed so grandly, I really didn’t expect there to be such a situation. It seems that this man is rather close to her, if not he wouldn’t be so impudent.
Mo Yao directly sat on Guan Sheng’s seat, and asked me: “Where is my Brother Sheng?”
I was also familiar with the words “Brother Sheng” and thought of Mo Li, but after knowing the relationship between her and Mo Li, I naturally didn’t say anything.
“He went to the washroom, right? He’ll be back soon.”
“Oh, then you just sit here and ignore this guy.”
Mo Yao immediately left as well. It looked like she was really going out to find Guan Sheng, and that small farce just now was really just like coming over to help me.
