Changing of Impressions?
Yin Ze didn't answer frantically and calmly looked at Gao Yulan for a moment before he asked, "You haven't asked her yourself?"
"Of course I haven't . "
"What did she say?"
Gao Yulan was about to answer, but then glanced gave Yin Ze a watchful glance . "I asked you, what are you hiding?"
Yin Ze burst into laughter . "How am I hiding anything? It's just you were wronged and then you hid from your troubles, not going to find her and calculating your grievances . Instead, you even drank to drown in your sorrows . You tell me, aren’t you a person running away from reality?"
Gao Yulan bit her lip and thought for a moment before mumbling, "What can I do? There's a photo, and nobody believes me . Did you know, that photo of Wen Sha and a woman kissing, the woman's figure looks like mine from the back . The photo was even sent to the company's mailbox, so all of my colleagues have already seen it . They all look at me with uncomfortable gazes . You tell me, even if I did beat Wen Sha, will anything change? They would probably still think differently . "
She sounded so weak and pitiful . Yin Ze couldn't help but pat her head . "You're too concerned about how other people look at you . "
Gao Yulan bit her lip . She did worry a lot about how people saw her . In City C, when she was cheated, her heartless friends had looked down on her . Feeling that she had been criticized, she left and went to City A alone to try to make a living . She told herself she must return with triumph .
And then, on her first job, her superiors had falsely accused her of a huge blunder . Her colleague's gazes had once again made her feel like an idiot . Then she thought she just had to find a better job at a better company so they wouldn't look down on her .
So she did . The Hengyuan group: it was a strong company and her salary wasn't bad . The job also let her show what she was good at, and over time she would have created a good reputation in the industry . But then this little affair happened…
Gao Yulan sighed, and laid on the table, dispirited . "If this happened to you, would you not care?"
Yin Ze laughed and patted her head again . "I care, but I learned long ago that caring about people you don't know is useless . "
Gao Yulan rarely saw Yin Ze's serious appearance and couldn't help but ask, "You've had this happen to you?"
"Of course . " Yin Ze filled up Gao Yulan's glass and then his before picking it up and taking a sip .
"How unique is it compared to mine?" Gao Yulan somewhat didn't believe him, this kind of event wasn't something you saw everyday .
"You probably think you're the only one who has had a lot of unusual events happen to you? It's only natural that I've experienced them . " Yin Ze then picked up his glass of water and drank from it again .
"So, a guy forced a kiss on you?"
"Puff…" Yin Ze quickly turned his head and water sprayed all over the ground .
The table top escaped danger, and Yin Ze turned and coughed violently . Gao Yulan somewhat happily pushed herself up from the table top and reached her hand over to pat his back . Using Yin Ze's tone, she said, "This little brother, are you unwell?"
Hahaha, a small victory .
His embarrassed look made her smile . In one word, it was wonderful .
Yin Ze coughed and turned to look at her angrily, she laughed and his cheeks turned pink . He looked at her and felt slightly feverish, hurriedly coughed again . Regaining his composure, he asked, "You were kissed by a bad man?"
Gao Yulan shook her head and was about to speak, but her cell phone rang . After looking at her phone, she saw it was her dad . Giving Yin Ze a signal, she stood up to go take the call .
"Dad . Yes, I got it . You didn't want to ask me about that, right? Yeah, I had dinner with Mr . Guo . He talked about home, and we only had a meal . You don't have to care so much, nothing happened . I thanked him and nothing else…"
Papa Gao talked endlessly about what Guo Qiuchen's family had asked Guo Qiuchen on the phone . They had said they heard his impression on Gao Yulan was okay, they had eaten together, and thought she was pretty good . Papa Gao spoke carefully, passing on the words of the other family without missing a word .
Yin Ze watched Gao Yulan for a short while, as she hadn't hung up yet . He tapped his finger on the table somewhat impatiently, and then also picked up his phone .
Gao Yulan distractedly looked at him, and then answered into her phone, "How do I feel? How else, can you not guess? Mr . Guo is a good person, but only to an extent, not to what you think . Of course another person's father is going to tell you that I'm okay, don't tell me they'd say that they think I'm horrible? Okay, okay . You’re thinking too much . Even if there were feelings between us, it wouldn't be so fast . Slowly, okay? You're thinking too much . I haven't even said I've fallen for him, just a moment ago there was no talk about anything further with him…"
Currently, Yin Ze was tapping his finger on the table and also tapping his foot on the ground .
"Alright, I won't talk with you anymore . You're just going to get more confused as you talk . You don't have to think about it… him coming to City A has nothing to do with me . I probably didn't say I wasn't going back to City C back then because that thing made me forget to say it . If I like somebody, I would go on the offense, so don't worry . No no no, I didn't say anything, because Mr . Guo wanted to go back to City C . Don't think about it, I promise that if there is anything, I will tell you, okay? Please let me off, I don't know what to say to you . You're thinking on 2 . 0, while I'm still on 0 . 2 . We aren't on the same frequency . Alright? Let's talk some other time . "
Gao Yulan hung up and sighed deeply . "Talking to parents is such a dreadful thing to do . " She looked up at Yin Ze, "What’s with that wooden look? I didn't deliberately play a joke on you, you're the one that said you were like me . "
Yin Ze rubbed his face, relaxing it . "Who's the bastard that bullied you?"
"You'll help me get revenge?"
"Alright . "
"It's Wen Sha . " Gao Yulan saw Yin Ze's expressions immediately distort, and she couldn’t help but keep pushing him . "How do you plan to get back at her? Give her a kiss back? Hmm, I don't know if that is a loss or an advantage?"
Yin Ze knocked on her head . "What rotten ideas . "
"Oh, that's right, you still haven't told me what Wen Sha said . You almost made me forget . "
Behind them, an oven dinged . Yin Ze went inside and took out some baked shrimp . Then he went to the refrigerator to get some fruits, vegetables, and salad dressing, and set them in front of Gao Yulan .
Gao Yulan picked up her fork and began to eat, not forgetting Yin Ze . "Hurry and tell me . "
"Why're you so anxious, I still haven't even begun . " Yin Ze watched her eat with gusto and nodded his head, pleased . Getting another fork, he reached to take a shrimp and put it in his mouth . Then he began to calmly speak, "She said she wanted to protected her loved one . "
Gao Yulan ate a mouthful of salad and said, "Then why did she tell me she had also been set up . "
"There's also that . " Yin Ze passed Gao Yulan's fork and snatched some honey dew melons . He saw her lips curl and he couldn't help but laugh and continue, "She's been with her girlfriend in a secret affair which couldn't see the light of day . Then, some mysterious person found out and called her and told her to break up with her girlfriend or else it will look 'very good' . She didn't agree and then the photo came out . "
"And how was this supposed to affect me?" Gao Yulan was upset, thinking about how she had been innocent .
"Wen Sha's girlfriend's mother saw the picture, and her girlfriend naturally denied it because her family didn't accept this kind of relationship . If she hadn't, she would've been sent out of the country . Wen Sha stepped back and stepped into a dead end, and then suddenly there was you . The rear view of the person looked like you and you were from the same company . Then the origin of her girlfriend was revealed . "
Gao Yulan stared blankly . "I was the perfect scapegoat? Is her mother stupid? She can't tell? And does this mysterious person have any more photographs? Is there a picture of the face?"
"The figure seen is quite fuzzy, and the clothes can't be seen that clearly . Not only that, with how it spread throughout the company, and their daughter wasn't any different . Granted, if there was even some suspension of any differences, there was still work . As for other photos, there hasn't been any . At the time, and in a moment of desperation, it was the best counter . "
"How are they now?"
Yin Ze shrugged his shoulders . "Wen Sha still goes to work and her girlfriend's mother is actively introducing her to get a boyfriend, it should be like this?"
Gao Yulan thought for a moment and then sighed . "This kind of problem, there's no way it will work out, right?"
Yin Ze shook his head, not knowing . He looked at the empty shrimp dish and asked, "Do you still want more? I can prepare some wontons, liu sha buns, or taro pudding . Or do you want to eat something else?"
[TL: If you want to find out what any of those foods are, just Google the name and you will find them . ]
"I want taro pudding . " Gao Yulan ordered bluntly . It sounded delicious .
Yin Ze smiled, took something out of the refrigerator, and placed it in front of her . Gao Yulan, seeing his slender fingers holding the bowl, asked, "Yin Ze, it used to be hard on you, wasn't it?"
An eighteen, nineteen-year-old schoolboy without an educational background, not from a well-off family, and had lost his parents . Then, while taking care of his sister, he had fight for inheritance . Then he started an empty business venture, traveling down a hard path .
Who knows, but right now the mood was just right between the two of them . Maybe it was because she had followed to chat with Yin Ze about some topics that would be kept down . Gao Yulan suddenly felt that Yin Ze, although he liked playing jokes and had a bad mouth, was still pretty good .
Yin Ze rested his head on his hand and bashfully said, "Hello, are you worrying about me?"
Gao Yulan's face turned black . What was his objective? Or was he trying to go die? You can't take these kind of people seriously .
"Hey, Lan Lan, that Mr . Guo won't be suitable for you . You won't like him . "
The subject changed so fast, but Gao Yulan continued with Yin Ze calmly .
Therefore, she calmly asked, "How do you know I don't like him?"
"He smokes . "
Gao Yulan's eyelid lifted up . "You know I don't like the smell of cigarettes . "
"I also know when you're drunk you like beating people up . "
Talking about beating somebody up and stealing their dog, it was an awkward incident for Gao Yulan and she stopped listening, instead digging into her midnight snack .
"Lan Lan, I don't smoke and I can take a beating . I'm also thinking on 0 . 2, we're on the same frequency, we're like a match made in heaven . So how about becoming my girlfriend?"
Gao Yulan choked on her food, and tried to calm herself down .
She coughed for a while and then looked up at him .
She could only think of one thing, "Ptooh!"
[TL: Yin Ze being hella smooth . I wish I was that smooth…]
