Chapter 288: Chapter 286: Well Done
There are some people who seem born to argue. After every argument, they conduct a self-assessment, feeling they didnāt do their best. They even rehearse in their minds countless times how to handle similar situations. Clearly, Sun Mumu is one of these people.
As the saying goes, straightforward trash talk brings extreme enjoyment compared to the actionsā words. The frank expression is more pleasing, and one canāt deny it; the art of speech from a social renegade is just too much to love.
If her mouth could hitch a ride on a bike, it would probably get snatched up in seconds.
Little do they know how many people in reality get fuming mad after being scolded because they lack a good comeback?
For someone like Sun Mumu, if she doesnāt vent at the moment, she might get so upset that she canāt sleep at night, and this could persist for several days.
Her aggressiveness is no weaker than the sunflowerās language of flowers, and she has a short temper. Su Qing would call her the strongest verbal warrior in the planning department.
Didnāt you notice the normally introverted Lin Miaomiao smiling at this moment? Clearly, sheās very pleased right now. Although she doesnāt scold others, her friend does, and can protect her.
No wonder people say their personalities complement each other. Itās no surprise they can become good friends.
"Alright, Mumu, donāt stay mad any longer!"
"Silly Miaomiao, I was standing up for you, and here you are laughing carelessly. Let me tell you, that Wang Xing, you should stay away from him. When he said heād only dated one girlfriend last time, I thought he was decent. Now it seems heās no good." With that, she turned to Su Qing and continued, "And you! Didnāt you say heās a good guy? Whatās with this girlfriend? Weāre all colleagues, yet you deceive us and even try to push Miaomiao into the fire pit?"
Su Qing: ...
Actually, Sun Mumuās reasoning isnāt without merit. After all, back at the gathering, Wang Xing mentioned he only dated one girlfriend, and that was during college.
But who wouldāve thought, this guy spent four years as a simp, and that girlfriend lasted only a month.
"Youāve misunderstood me. He indeed only had that one. But he pursued her for years only to find out she was a player, a real octopus. In the end, he turned over a new leaf! In other words, heās quite loyal; he just had poor judgment in people!" Su Qing spread his hands and explained on his behalf.
"Then earlier, why didnāt he stand up for Miaomiao when that woman said those excessive things? I had to step in myself!"
"Uhh... itās actually because I told him not to. That incident hit him hard, and now he doesnāt want to say a word to Jiang Mengting, blocking all contact information. They are strangers now; why get involved again? Besides, as two guys, itās hard for us to say certain things. Didnāt I trust you to handle it? And didnāt he eventually stand in front of you?" To secure Old Aās happy future life, he could only speak positively for him; otherwise, it wouldnāt be fair.
Hearing this, Sun Mumu gave him a meaningful look, then thought a bit and realized it seemed true. Su Qing had even subtly signaled her to take action, and they had a well-coordinated performance, really in sync.
"Really?"
"Of course itās true; if you donāt believe it, you can ask him yourself when he comes over!"
"Alright, Iāll trust you this time. But I didnāt expect you to coordinate with me so well. Next time I argue with someone, Iāll ask you to be my wingman!"
Su Qing: ...
Heād heard of wingmen for picking up women or men, but for arguing and cursing?
"Sorry for the inconvenience Iāve caused. Letās find a time to gather again next time?"
Just then, Wang Xing, having handled the situation, caught up to explain.
Su Qing looked at him, full of relief in his eyes. He knew that Old A was truly over it this time. Seeing his total disregard for Jiang Mengting earlier, it was evident he genuinely didnāt care about her anymore.
Thatās good; it saves future drama when he finds love or marries. Itās better to clear out all potential hazards now than to deal with such a mess later, which would be disgusting.
"No need to wait; letās do it now. We didnāt eat well earlier; we were too busy chatting, especially Miaomiao, who drank a bellyful of beer and didnāt eat much!" Sun Mumu said directly.
Wang Xing: ???
Are girls this straightforward nowadays? It almost seems they fear heād skip out on a meal.
"What would you like to eat?"
"This is a night market. Letās just stroll around. There are lots of snacks; a stroll will fill us up. But you have to treat us!"
"No problem!"
Each stall along the night market had all sorts of snacks, and importantly, they were delicious and affordable. The four of them could eat plenty for under a hundred yuan, given that a portion of snacks was quite generous.
"Xiao Wang, what was with that girl? Your ex-girlfriend? Didnāt you say youād only dated one?" Sun Mumu asked, her hands busy with a sausage in one and tofu in the other, her mouth full as she mumbled.
"Huh?"
"What do you mean āhuhā?" With a light thud, she gave herself a hit on her flat chest to help swallow, then stared blankly at Wang Xing.

If his answer wasnāt satisfactory, sheād be sure to say more bad things to Lin Miaomiao about Wang Xing, hopefully making her give up on him and stay away from a scumbag.
Faced with Sun Mumuās intense gaze, Wang Xing instinctively glanced at him, asking with his eyes.
In response, Su Qing laughed, "Women are gossipy. You might as well tell the simplified version of your years as a simp with āThe Years I Spent as a Simpā.ā
Of course, he knew the story firsthand, not only Wang Xingās background but Sun Mumuās intent for asking. As the mediator, he naturally had to balance the situation.
Hearing this, Wang Xing was at a loss for words, but thinking of what happened earlier, he figured the two girls got unjustly scolded, so they deserved to know. He briefly recounted his story with Jiang Mengting.
Of course, he skimmed over it but mentioned his experiences over the past few years and why they broke up.
After hearing it, Sun Mumuās eyes widened, never expecting to hear such an explosive tale while out shopping.
She then stood on tiptoe, patted Old Aās shoulder, and with a big sisterās tone, said, "Little Wang, youāve had it tough, carrying the weight for fellow men for so long!"
Wang Xing: "..."
"Exactly, that woman is so annoying! How could she do that?" Next to her, Lin Miaomiao also expressed her opinion. Seeing Wang Xing like this and hearing about his experiences made her heart ache.
[Simple-minded Lin Miaomiao, after hearing Wang Xingās story, felt more that he was a good person, enhancing her view of him and wanting to protect him!]
Su Qing: ...
Great, another good person card, well done!
