Chapter 060. Inexplicable Provocation
Monday, Anran drew the design of the City Hall in the office, without warning, the phone on the table sounded. This made Anran, who was focused on drawing, suddenly jumped from the scare, and slapped down her chest several times to calm down.
Taking the phone, it was a strange number. She was hesitating to answer it, but still pressed the answer b.u.t.ton.
“h.e.l.lo?” Anran’s head and shoulder sandwiched the phone. Her hand sketched back and forth, continuing the drawing. Wednesday was when the design needed to be submitted. Today was Monday, and this design might be a third complete. These days, she really had to hurry to complete the task.
“Is this Gu Anran?” From the other side of the phone came a pleasant female voice. It sounded soft, no, it was particularly gentle, very comfortable to listen to.
Anran stopped her hands which were sketched with the pencil, and put the ruler aside. She looked again at the phone, looked again at the number, and determined that she really did not know this number. To the mobile phone, she said, “You are?”
There was a chuckle on the other side of the phone. “Oh, you probably don’t know me, but I know that Gu Anran will be interested in going out together for a cup of coffee?”
Anran frowned, then listened more closely. She did not have the habit of drinking a cup of coffee and chatting with a stranger together, “I’m sorry, I don’t drink coffee with strangers.” She didn’t know what could happen with two people sitting together and drinking coffee.
“Gu Anran might not know me, but I think Gu Anran must know my husband,” The other side of the phone said so.
Anran heard the words and felt really odd, “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“Mo Fei,” The other side of the phone said the words, then smiled tenderly saying, “Mo Fei is my husband, I am Tong Xiao Jie. ”
Anran’s hand stiffened while holding the phone. She did not think that the woman would be Tong Xiao Jie. In fact, Anran had known her since college. With her long beautiful hair, she was a university school beauty. She was like a piece of fine art, who had a unique artistic temperament, very beautiful. She liked to wear white as if she was an unworldly beauty. Because she looked like an Empress Dowager,she was famous at the school. She had always had a lot of suitors, but yet, Anran had never heard Tong Xiao Jie’s love gossip being spread in the school for four years. Those who seek her, whether a man was handsome and from a wealthy family, all of them were rejected by her. Four years of college, but Anran had never heard of a boy going out with her.
In fact, for this kind of school beauty, Anran had also just heard about her but never spoke to her. The reason that she came to know her, and was impressed by her, was simply because of Mo Fei. On the eve of graduation, she suddenly heard that Tong Xiao Jie and a boy from the Department of Architecture was very close, someone had even seen the two holding hands together while going out of school, talking and laughing. During that time, Anran was busy with practice. The rumors about these insignificant things never crossed her mind, because at that time, she was between the relationship and the practice. She met with Mo Fei less and less. Just when the rumors spread into her ears, they confirmed that the male was indeed from the Department of Architecture and when asked, they had established the relationship between them as lovers. When Anran found Mo Fei to ask about it, he did not say anything, just hung his head down and apologized to Anran.
At that time, Anran just felt incredibly angry, and felt even more ridiculous. Who was it who fell in love for four years before sending her heartbreak for a graduation gift. It was not only breaking up, but and also cheating in the end. Once she hugged her dreams, but life was all right up in the clouds in the horizon, far too unrealistic. She asked him why and he just smiled, refusing to say a word. At the last time, the two sat in the cafe near the school for a whole afternoon without a word. Finally, Anran smiled faintly and turned. She could not stop the tears from falling down. From school to her home, an hour away, the tears were basically all flowing down. At home, her mother asked what was wrong. Obviously, something had wronged her heart to death, but Anran could not say a word. She just cried and locked herself in the room, not opening the door and making her parents worried.
Finally, the day before graduation, she heard students saying that he had gone abroad with Tong Xiao Jie together to France. Along with the news, he left a letter, which was all the years between the two. His writing was very thin, a lot more than even Anran remembered in detail. In addition to talking about the past few years between them bit by bit, as well as about Mo Fei’s ambition. He wanted to succeed, his desire to succeed, and this community was a community of interest, which always put the ability right at the back. He said he did not love Tong Xiao Jie, but Anran could not accept his reason. Because he wanted to succeed, and with the strength of Tong Xiao Jie’s background which was what he had been eager to have, this was why he only chose to betray their love. Everything was quite upsetting, but the reality was terrible.
“Gu Anran? Are you still there?” When she did not get a response, Tong Xiao Jie called out.
This calling made Anran recover from the memories. Unconsciously, her hold on the phone tightened. She said, “Here.”
“That is, how about the promise to meet with Gu Anran? ” Tong Xiaojie asked. Her voice still sounded good, not too excessive.
Anran closed her eyes, decisively rejecting, “I think, there is no need. I do know you, but that is only because we were students, no other.”
“Oh,” Tong Xiaojie chuckled, “It was very interesting to pa.s.s the photos to me, and then attach it with your phone number.”
“Photos? What photos?” Anran did not understand, when and where were the photos taken? And who made prank?
“Well, Gu Anran, I think we should meet. No matter what Mo Fei’s att.i.tude is towards you now, there are some things I still want to say to you. Of course, before that, I think, I should apologize to you. Because of me, your relationship with Mo Fei ended naturally. I’m sorry. ”
” No need. We really didn’t have have something. Tong Xiao Jie just now had said it clearly on the phone, ” Anran refused. She did not want to be the third wheel between Tong Xiao Jie and Mo Fei. In the future, she has her own life.
” Is Gu Anran afraid?” The person on the ther side of the phone chuckled. She said. “I will not eat. Gu Anran has nothing to worry about. It’s just for a cup of coffee.”
“I’m not accustomed to drinking coffee and chatting with people I do not know or am unfamiliar with.” Anran said directly, without being too aggressive.
“Oh,” Tong Xiaojie chuckled. She only said, “Actually, I want to tell Gu Anran, regarding Mo Fei, I will not let him go.”
Anran was not interested in what she had to say. Anran’s att.i.tude showed that she had been very clear, “Your marriage, it has nothing to do with me. ”
” Oh, I just wanted to ask Gu Anran to remember the words I say today,” Tong Xiao Jie said. Her tone just now was obviously a lot colder compared to the previous one.
“I also ask yourself and Tong Xiao Jie‘s husband, I don’t want to be hara.s.sed,” Anran tone had some punch, how was it like, for the engagement, she had destroyed the couple’s feelings.
Tong Xiaojie said coldly, “Thank Gu Anran for the reminder. I will.” Then she hung up the phone directly.
Anran angrily flung the phone, this is, what’s wrong with her ah!
