Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Two-faced and Treacherous
“Brother Jian Guo,” Qin Cuifen called out sweetly, relieved in her heart. At last, she could close the gap in her relationship with Shen Jianguo. How stupid Zhou Xuelian was, to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to her.
“Hmm! Why hasn’t Sheng Ning come?” Shen Jianguo was eager to see Sheng Ning.
“Brother Jian Guo, Ningning, she won’t come out to see you,” Qin Cuifen said with a troubled look, lowering her head, “Originally, when Ningning was pursuing you, she was actually making a bet with someone in the dorm to see if she could win you over. How could she be so vile? How can someone joke about feelings like that? I’ve advised her many times to no avail.”
Shen Jianguo’s face turned ashen as he finally understood why she could so quickly change her face! Just a moment ago, she had confessed her passion for him, and then she turned around and wouldn’t even speak to him.
Was it because she had won the bet after winning him over? He had never expected her to be such a girl.
Shen Jianguo felt played and his male pride had been severely wounded; he was unable to recover for a long time.
Qin Cuifen was secretly delighted and decided to administer another strong dose. “Actually… Sheng Ning is now pursuing Captain Xu, and her relationship with Meng Ping is also ambiguous. Last time at the training ground, Meng Ping pulled her aside in front of everyone. Everyone saw it!”
“Is what you’re saying true or false?” He trusted Xu Qigang’s character, but not Meng Ping, the scumbag.
“I swear it’s true, Brother Jian Guo, you have to believe me. I’m saying this for your sake,” Qin Cuifen said earnestly, looking at him with intense admiration in her eyes.
She knew men fell for this all too easily; in the village, Widow Zhang had used this very tactic to lure both the village chief and the President into bed.
In his silence, Shen Jianguo’s brows furrowed tighter and his hands at his side clenched into fists.
“Brother Jian Guo, just now Zhou Xuelian called Sheng Ning out, guess what she said?” Without waiting for a response, Qin Cuifen answered herself, “Ningning actually snorted coldly and asked disdainfully who Mr. Shen was. It was dreadful. As her best friend, I’m very upset.”
“Stop talking!” Shen Jianguo said wearily, stopping her, “Cuifen, thank you for telling me this, but I must go; I have other matters to attend to.”
Qin Cuifen panicked when she heard this; she hadn’t had a chance to do anything yet! She couldn’t miss such a good opportunity. In her urgency, she grabbed Shen Jianguo’s hand, and the dry, warm touch made her mind wander.
“Brother Jian Guo, may I write letters to you sometimes?”
Hearing this, a wary look appeared in Shen Jianguo’s eyes. He had encountered many women who wanted to write to him, and it had become a hassle; he truly didn’t want to agree. “Brother Jian Guo, sometimes I don’t understand the training and I would like to ask you for help. I’m just a girl from the countryside and there aren’t many people willing to help me. Because of Sheng Ning and Captain Xu’s relationship, everyone’s attention is on her during this training camp, and the rest of us are left out in the cold!”
In her desperation to climb onto Shen Jianguo’s good graces, Qin Cuifen even dared to sling mud at the War Wolf Rescue Team.
The more Shen Jianguo heard, the angrier he got, and he warned sharply, “The War Wolf Rescue Team is a hero team of our region, a model team. Slandering them arbitrarily can lead to an investigation and punishment.”
“Brother Jian Guo, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, that’s not what I meant. You must believe me, Brother Jian Guo…” Qin Cuifen clung to Shen Jianguo’s hand, and as she spoke, she began to cry.
“I understand! Stop crying, thank you for today.” He couldn’t stand to see a woman cry. Comforting her, he said, “If you want to write to me, then write. I have to go now!”
“Brother Jian Guo, take care.” Her goal achieved, Qin Cuifen enthusiastically watched Shen Jianguo leave. Then, she returned to the dormitory with her head held high. As she entered, she found Sheng Ning still looking down, writing something. Cuifen snorted coldly in her heart!
