Luo Chao was incredibly surprised. Xie Yong completely matched the description of tall, handso, and cool, so why did he have such a girlfriend? Not only was she ugly, but she also had a bad attitude.
Seeing Xie Yong's awkward and aggrieved appearance, Luo Chao shook his head. For the sake of an old classmate, he couldn't be bothered to engage with such an unattractive woman. He patted Xie Yong on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Xie Yong, I think a man should have the spirit of a true man. Don't wrong yourself, and if you ever have difficulties, feel free to reach out to ."
Luo Chao didn't know what was happening with Xie Yong, so that's all he could say.
Xie Yong nodded, but inwardly he shook his head, thinking, Luo Chao, how can you know my inner struggles? With your outfit today, things don't seem much better for you. How could you possibly help ?
"And who might this be? Aren't you going to introduce ?" Xie Yong looked at Lanya, a girl of extraordinary beauty.
"She is..." Luo Chao wasn't finished when Li Na scoffed, "Do you even need to ask? It's clear she's a rich heiress using you, her old classmate, as free labor."
Lanya, who had been silent for a while, suddenly smiled sweetly and wrapped her little hands around Luo Chao's arm. "Auntie, you're mistaken. I'm his girlfriend."
Xie Yong looked enviously at Luo Chao, never expecting him to have such a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend, unlike himself. For now, Luo Chao found it difficult to explain and had to let Lanya continue her antics.
Auntie? Hearing this term, Li Na's lips twitched fiercely. When she heard Lanya claim to be Luo Chao's girlfriend, she gritted her teeth and said, "Who's an auntie? Make it clear! Don't think just because you have so good looks and a bit of money you can show off everywhere and keep n. Disgusting!"
"Auntie, it's not your fault you're ugly, but you're wrong to frighten people. You should go ho and look in the mirror, and don't scare yourself," Lanya said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Haha..." Luo Chao couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. He hadn't realized that although Lanya was young, she had such a sharp tongue.
"You!" Li Na was so angry that tears began to well up as she shook Xie Yong's arm, saying, "She talked to like that, and you're just standing there! Help teach her a lesson!"
"Forget it, let's go," Xie Yong shook his head and said.
"If you won't do it, I will," Li Na scolded, raising her hand to slap Lanya. However, before her hand could fall, Luo Chao grabbed it tightly, frowning as he said, "Don't push your luck! What, you can't win with words so now you want to fight?"
Li Na felt as if her hand had been caught in a vice, the imnse force causing her chubby face to twist in pain. She quickly withdrew her hand and plopped down on the ground, crying out, "I can't live like this! I can't live!"
Luo Chao looked at Xie Yong: "I hope we don't ruin our old school friendship over a small matter!"
"I understand. What's your number? Let's catch up properly next ti," Xie Yong sighed deeply.
Luo Chao gave him his number, and Xie Yong dragged Li Na away. Luo Chao watched as Xie Yong limped away, the condition of his legs clearly having a significant impact on his life.
Watching Xie Yong's figure disappear in the distance, looking so desolate, Luo Chao truly couldn't believe that the youthful prince of the basketball court, who could make countless girls scream, would end up in such a sorry state. It was like a tragic cody, leaving a bitter taste in his heart.
"They've already left," Lanya said, looking at Luo Chao who stood still.
Luo Chao nodded, "Yeah, let's go too."
"I couldn't stand it earlier, that's why I helped you. Don't get the wrong idea," Lanya reminded him before getting into the car.
Luo Chao rolled his eyes, "Please don't insult my intelligence!"
"Pfft," Lanya laughed, "You should say, don't insult my emotional intelligence. Next ti they show up, you can call again."
"Haven't you had enough fun yet?"
"Nope, that auntie is just sickening. I find it fun to teach her a lesson."
Fun? Luo Chao laughed, "No problem, but just holding hands probably won't convince them. To prove our relationship, we might need to kiss in front of them next ti."
"Why don't you just drop dead!" Lanya shouted, her pretty face turning red.
After dropping Luo Chao at the company entrance, Lanya drove ho. It was already after work hours, and Luo Chao didn't go to the office after swiping his card.
As Luo Chao sat in his Passat, ready to drive ho, his phone rang. It was a local number he didn't recognize, but he answered it.
"Luo Chao, it's Xie Yong."
"Yeah, what's up?"
"I apologize for what happened earlier."
"It's nothing, but you've got it tough being caught in the middle."
There was a mont of silence on the other end before Xie Yong said, "I heard our class is having a high school reunion. Are you going?"
A high school reunion? Luo Chao thought about it. It had been a long ti since he'd seen many of his classmates; maybe a gathering would bring back a lot of good mories. He nodded, "Yeah, since it's a class reunion, of course I'll go."
"Great, I'll invite you at that ti!"
"Sure, sounds good!"
"Luo Chao, when you have so free ti, let's get together for a drink. There's a lot I want to talk about." Xie Yong spoke softly, seemingly with a lot on his mind needing an ear to listen.
Luo Chao felt a slight tremor in his heart, "When?"
"I'll call you. See you!"
"See you!"
Luo Chao hung up the phone, thinking that he should take this opportunity to properly counsel Xie Yong, helping him out of his Sea of Suffering and into a new life.
It turns out being a security guard ant shift work, while having a white-collar job changed that to weekends off. Of course, that was much better. Luo Chao was thoroughly enjoying his current life. Today was Saturday, so Luo Chao indulged in a rare lie-in.
"Young Master, co down for breakfast!" Aunt Zhou called loudly from downstairs.
Having finished his morning routine and dressed neatly, Luo Chao descended the stairs to the dining room. Aunt Zhou was holding a just-awakened Doudou on the sofa, while Ning Wanxi was already seated at the dining table enjoying the delicious al Aunt Zhou had prepared.
"Doudou, did you have your milk this morning?" Luo Chao approached Aunt Zhou, gently tapping Doudou's chin with his finger. Doudou smiled widely, eyes almost squinting shut from happiness, looking incredibly adorable.
Aunt Zhou chuckled, "Young Master, Doudou really likes you. Every ti he sees you, he smiles like a blooming flower."
Seeing the baby so joyfully laughing, Luo Chao also broke into a happy smile, "Alright, after breakfast, Daddy will co and hold you."
