Chapter 689: Installation
Guan Tang was not surprised when Zhuang Ning visited her. When Zhuang Ning told her that she had reconciled with Ye Cheng, her eyes were icy despite the smile on her face.
Zhuang Ning, who was clearly in a good mood, told Guan Tang about Ye Cheng’s sweet words.
Guan Tang listened patiently in the beginning, but as time went on, she began to grow impatient when Zhuang Ning showed no signs of stopping. Under the pretext of going to the kitchen to get some fruits, she interrupted Zhuang Ning’s chatter.
Zhuang Ning looked bored as she looked at small ornaments in the living room. Then, she raised her voice and said, “Guan Tang, these small ornaments you bought are really beautiful.”
Guan Tang replied from the kitchen, “You can take whatever you like.”
Zhuang Ning smiled and picked the ornaments up one by one to have a look. At the same time, she kept an eye on Guan Tang, who was in the kitchen. Inwardly, she was extremely nervous. Her palms were sweaty as she carefully, and with great difficulty, stuck the thing in her hands onto the standing clock in the corner.
After Zhuang Ning was done, seeing that Guan Tang had yet to come out of the kitchen, she entered the bathroom. After closing the door, she leaned against it and exhaled softly. After a moment, she looked around, she stuck the thing in her hand in an inconspicuous spot near the doork.n.o.b, facing the wall where water was previously leaking out.
Subsequently, Zhuang Ning flushed the toilet and washed her hands before leaving the bathroom. She thought to herself that this was too exciting and that her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
Guan Tang had already returned to the living room with a plate of fruits at this time. She smiled and said, “Do you like my house?”
Zhuang Ning quickly said, “Yes. I really like the small decorative items you bought. You really have very good taste, Guan Tang. I’ve always wanted to buy a house in the western district. When I buy a house, will you help me to decorate it?”
Guan Tang smiled. “Of course! I have nothing to do anyway so it’s a good way for me to keep myself occupied. Why do you want to buy a house?” Without waiting for Zhuang Nings’ reply, she added, “Oh, is Ye Cheng buying it for you?”
Zhuang Ning rolled her eyes before she lifted her chin proudly and said, “I don’t need him to buy it for me. It’s not like I can’t afford it.”
Guan Tang nudged Zhuang Ning gently and said, “I forgot that you’re a popular celebrity!”
The two women chatted and laughed.
Zhuang Ning’s mood was very good. Even when Guan Gang sent her away, she looked very reluctant to leave.
As soon as Zhuang Ning left, Guan Tang threw the gla.s.s that Zhuang Ning drank from to the ground. Then, she let out a long scream as she held her head.
At the same time, Jiahui, who was in the secret room, could not help but s.h.i.+ver. Clearly, Guan Tang lost control of her emotions again. She was slightly confused. After all, Zhuang Ning did not say anything upsetting so why was Guan Tang like that?
Earlier, Jiahui had seen Zhuang Ning’s small actions when Guan Tang was in the kitchen. With this, she knew that Mu Chen and Cheng Che must have sent Zhuang Ning. It seemed like the two men were already suspicious of Guan Tang. She could not help but feel a hint of pride for having a good taste when choosing a boyfriend.
After Guan Tang vented her suppressed emotions, she cleaned up the fragments of the gla.s.s on the floor. Then, she sat on the couch and hugged a pillow before she muttered to herself in a daze, “See? He’s a two-timer as well! Men are really unreliable! If she can get Ye Cheng, then I can get Cheng Che as well!”
Following that, Guan Tang dialed a string of numbers on her phone.
…
At this moment, Cheng Che was sitting in front of a computer. As he watched Guan Tang calling someone on her phone, his phone began to ring. He looked at Song Ning and Mu Chen in shock as he said, “She’s calling me!”
Mu Chen hurriedly lowered the volume on the computer and gestured to Cheng Che to answer the call.
On the screen, Guan Tang could be seen adjusting her posture on the couch, looking elegant and graceful.
Song Ning felt rather speechless.
After Cheng Che answered the call, he asked calmly, “Guan Tang, what’s the matter?”
A perfect and happy smile appeared on Guan Tang’s face on the screen. It was completely incongruent with her hesitant voice when she spoke. This sent chills up Cheng Che’s spine.
