Chapter 30: Chapter 030: Didn’t Expect Your Mouth to Be So Venomous

Song Song had been mistaken for a minor more than once; she was already used to it, considering she had the face of a high school student.

However, she could tell that the woman named Su Mengni in front of her was clearly speaking with a tone of mockery and sarcasm...

Lin Man was quick-tempered and wanted to lose her temper immediately, but she was held back by Song Song beside her, "Let’s sit down first. Since we’re here to talk, let’s talk properly."

"..." Lin Man felt a bit frustrated, but she sat down first. Her eyes sharply fixed on Su Mengni sitting opposite, "Go ahead, why did you ask me here? What do you want to say?"

Su Mengni smiled, placing her hands on the table, "I’ve been with Xu Lang for a long time, since high school until now. Through many ups and downs, we’ve been bound together tightly, and no one can separate us..."

"As for you..." Su Mengni’s tone paused, her expression suddenly turned into a cynical smile, "You’re just the distraction Xu Lang used to forget me. Previously, I had a quarrel with him and proposed to break up, and after all these years of back-and-forth, he might be tired and wanted to settle down, so he found someone... who seemed suitable for marriage. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Lin Man hadn’t expected that what she viewed as love was merely a means to forget an ex in others’ eyes.

Even though she and Xu Lang met on a blind date, she didn’t impulsively choose him just for his looks or internal qualities; it was through a long time of interaction that she felt he was really suitable before agreeing to be his girlfriend...

Turns out, it was all her wishful thinking.

It wasn’t love; it was only that she was considered a suitable marriage candidate.

"Miss Lin, Xu Lang can’t forget me, just as I can’t leave him." Saying this, Su Mengni took out a card from her bag and pushed it in front of Lin Man, "There’s 300,000 here, consider it my compensation for your emotional loss. Please don’t look for Xu Lang anymore."

Lin Man’s eyes reddened with anger, but it was mostly sadness and disappointment. She looked at the card and smiled lightly, "Does he know? Or... did he send you to use money to get rid of me?"

"He doesn’t need to know." Su Mengni elegantly crossed her arms and leaned against the back of the sofa, "I am him, and he is me. Even if you marry him now, you won’t be happy. I’m not scaring you, that’s just the truth."

Seeing Lin Man gritting her teeth in restraint, Su Mengni gave another charming smile, "I know you’ve already slept with him, so I’m giving you this 300,000. You shouldn’t have to suffer a loss."

This statement immediately shocked Song Song beside her. From her understanding, Lin Man had always been a very cautious girl, never acting impulsively, and after observing Xu Lang for a long time, she decided he was someone she wanted to seriously develop with...

Unexpectedly...

If she didn’t genuinely like him, why would she so readily give herself to him?

At this moment, Song Song felt pain in her hand and looked down to see Lin Man gripping her hand tightly, as if holding back some repressed emotions...

Su Mengni gave a bland smile, "Take it. You, as a teacher, only earn that meager fixed salary. 300,000 is no small amount for you."

Song Song couldn’t bear to watch anymore, "Miss Su, your rekindling with Mr. Xu is your business. My friend neither played the role of the third party nor deliberately tried to tear you two apart. You arranged to meet her today and threw money at her directly; what logic do you think you’re upholding?"

"To be honest, a man like Mr. Xu truly doesn’t deserve my friend. Maybe only a person like Miss Su is worthy of him!"

"..."

With that said, Song Song directly helped the already stunned Lin Man up, "Let’s go."

Originally, Lin Man was very sad, but seeing Su Mengni’s expression as if she had eaten a fly, the anger in her heart started to dissipate, and she remarked in surprise, "Song Song, I didn’t expect your mouth to be so venomous."

Song Song gave a helpless smile; maybe she had been interacting with that certain someone too much recently, and thus had been contaminated with some sharp tongue skills.

The two stood up, ready to leave, when Song Song looked up and saw someone coming towards them.

The man had sharp brows and long eyes, and stood tall and poised, calmly watching her and Lin Man...

It seemed he’d been standing there for a while.

Song Song then inhaled sharply; what kind of luck was she having lately—was it Mercury in retrograde?
