Chapter 422: Digging a Pit Behind

"Who are you?"

When Zhou Ting came out, he saw Liu Miao standing there sneakily, it seemed like Zheng Peng had come with this woman earlier.

"I’m Gu Juan’s good friend, my name is Liu Miao," Liu Miao said timidly.

"Oh." Zhou Ting glanced at her, then turned to look inside the store, "Are you free? I’d like to buy you a drink."

"Yes, yes I am." She had been waiting here for Zhou Ting to come by.

Zhou Ting smiled slightly, making a gesture of invitation.

This shop is actually not well-known; it’s owned by his family. The two found a secluded spot, and Zhou Ting handed the menu to Liu Miao, "Order whatever you’d like to drink."

"Can... can I have the one Gu Juan just ordered?" Liu Miao asked cautiously.

"Of course." Zhou Ting smiled.

This girl is quite interesting.

"You said you’re good friends with Gu Juan? How come I’ve never heard her mention you?" Zhou Ting asked with a smile.

"I really am her good friend, I know all about Juanzi’s matters," Liu Miao nodded earnestly, "We grew up together in the same village."

"So that’s how it is," Zhou Ting thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know what’s been going on with her this past year? Do you know me?"

"Of course I know." Liu Miao smiled and said, "Juanzi used to talk about you a lot. I actually met you once, but you seem to have forgotten."

Actually, she had only seen Gu Juan and Zhou Ting talking from afar.

"What did she say about me?" Zhou Ting asked back, "We’ve met? Sorry, I forgot."

"She said you’re very nice, you take good care of her, she really likes you," Liu Miao said, sipping her drink.

Damn it, this drink is so damn good, much better than the soda you buy outside, no wonder it’s so expensive.

If only she could come here often to have drinks.

"But she has a boyfriend now." Zhou Ting said regretfully.

"You’re talking about Zheng Peng, right? Actually, Gu Juan didn’t used to fancy him, but his dad is the secretary of the transformer factory, so..." Gu Juan went for his family background.

Liu Miao smiled and didn’t say more.

"I think Juanzi actually still likes you." After a while, Liu Miao said.

"Could you tell me in detail how the two of them met?" Zhou Ting said with a light smile.

So, that evening, without Gu Juan’s knowledge, Liu Miao told Zhou Ting many things about her, even discreetly sharing some things she had imagined.

Didn’t Gu Juan look down on her? Then she would do something to make Gu Juan respect her.

After all, most of what she said was true.

Who told her not to help herself anyway?

"Brother Zhou, I understand Gu Juan, she must have some unavoidable bitter reasons," Liu Miao changed her address to him, speaking distressed, "You must believe in her, she really had no choice."

"Alright, I get it." Zhou Ting said with his hands in his pockets, smiling, "Hurry back."

Liu Miao left happily.

Just now, Zhou Ting told her that she could come to this store for a drink anytime in the future, just mention his name.

From his look, he seemed determined to win over Gu Juan.

If Gu Juan ends up with Zhou Ting, does that mean there might be a chance for her and Zheng Peng?

Liu Miao glanced down at herself with pride, other than not dressing as well as Gu Juan, her figure was still quite decent.

If she were dating Zheng Peng, not just one Zhang Cuilan, even a few more, she wouldn’t be afraid.

From Gu Juan’s life, Liu Miao drew a conclusion: relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself.

Especially when it’s someone like Gu Juan, who is unreliable.
