Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Two-faced and Treacherous
âBrother Jian Guo,â 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.
What an idiot!
âHmm! Why hasnât Sheng Ning come?â Shen Jianguo was eager to see Sheng Ning.
âBrother Jian Guo, Ningning, she wonât come out to see you,â Qin Cuifen said with a troubled look, lowering her head, âOriginally, 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? Iâve advised her many times to no avail.â
Shen Jianguoâs 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 wouldnât 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. âActually⊠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!â
âIs what youâre saying true or false?â He trusted Xu Qigangâs character, but not Meng Ping, the scumbag.
âI swear itâs true, Brother Jian Guo, you have to believe me. Iâm saying this for your sake,â 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 Jianguoâs brows furrowed tighter and his hands at his side clenched into fists.
âBrother Jian Guo, just now Zhou Xuelian called Sheng Ning out, guess what she said?â Without waiting for a response, Qin Cuifen answered herself, âNingning actually snorted coldly and asked disdainfully who Mr. Shen was. It was dreadful. As her best friend, Iâm very upset.â
âStop talking!â Shen Jianguo said wearily, stopping her, âCuifen, thank you for telling me this, but I must go; I have other matters to attend to.â
Qin Cuifen panicked when she heard this; she hadnât had a chance to do anything yet! She couldnât miss such a good opportunity. In her urgency, she grabbed Shen Jianguoâs hand, and the dry, warm touch made her mind wander.
âBrother Jian Guo, may I write letters to you sometimes?â
Hearing this, a wary look appeared in Shen Jianguoâs eyes. He had encountered many women who wanted to write to him, and it had become a hassle; he truly didnât want to agree. âBrother Jian Guo, sometimes I donât understand the training and I would like to ask you for help. Iâm just a girl from the countryside and there arenât many people willing to help me. Because of Sheng Ning and Captain Xuâs relationship, everyoneâs attention is on her during this training camp, and the rest of us are left out in the cold!â
In her desperation to climb onto Shen Jianguoâs 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, âThe War Wolf Rescue Team is a hero team of our region, a model team. Slandering them arbitrarily can lead to an investigation and punishment.â
âBrother Jian Guo, Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to, thatâs not what I meant. You must believe me, Brother Jian GuoâŠâ Qin Cuifen clung to Shen Jianguoâs hand, and as she spoke, she began to cry.
âI understand! Stop crying, thank you for today.â He couldnât stand to see a woman cry. Comforting her, he said, âIf you want to write to me, then write. I have to go now!â
âBrother Jian Guo, take care.â 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!
