Chapter 337 – Self-Hypnosis
Hearing Lin Hao’s questioning, Jiang Tao couldn’t say anything.
Zi Shan slightly frowned, while An Ping and Chu Xiang three women all looked at Jiang Tao – this matter really can’t be explained, because Lin Hao once upon a time treated Jiang Tao really well, not to mention how Lin Hao’s person, purely on the matter of fact Lin Hao couldn’t have known that he would be using Jiang Tao’s work permit today and put it away for a long time, right? The work permit is real.
Jiang Tao’s work permit is real, not someone fake, that work permit why will appear in the guardhouse, if Jiang Tao did not go to see the guardhouse words? In fact, Chu Xiang would like to ask Jiang Tao when he had lost his work permit, but in the end she swallowed her words back, because asking would only hurt each other’s feelings, and Jiang Tao if he did not tell the truth, what could she do to check? Go to the office and ask Jiang Tao’s coworkers? Then they and Jiang Tao really do not even have friends to do.
In fact, Chu Xiang and then they have suspicions, or believe Jiang Tao’s component is much larger, will not have a person to open up, but is because of suspicion, so even if the straight-talking Xue Jing did not ask Jiang Tao’s face – if 100% believe Jiang Tao, then Xue Jing will certainly ask Jiang Tao, and no purpose just curious or wanted to discuss the work permit thing with him.
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Hao: ”What other backstops do you have? You know me, and I know you. It’s really easy and hard to get through, isn’t it? I know you won’t stop there, but stop saying provocative things.” He stepped forward, “I’m sure you don’t want to taste what my fist feels like.”
Lin Hao looked at him without any fear, “Annoyed? I’ll see how much longer you can pretend, sooner or later, Zi Shan will know your true colors – you should explain about the work permit, why don’t you?” He stuck his hands in his pants pockets, “Jiang Tao, you have a friend here, she didn’t know that you were no longer living with me so she found her way to my place, I brought her here today.”
“Jiang Tao, long time no see.” The enchanting woman walked down from the car not far away, looked at Jiang Tao and smiled as if she was a flower, there was no one else in her eyes, only Jiang Tao: “Remember, once you promised me that you would marry me if I didn’t have someone to marry at the age of thirty.”
She walked to Jiang Tao’s front, reached out and hugged his arm: “Today, is my thirtieth birthday, and I, now still single.”
Jiang Tao was surprised and froze there without saying anything.
Zishan saw Jiang Tao’s mood change how big, can not help but more measure down a person, at the same time the bottom of the heart born a little bit of sour – well, not sour la, just a woman in public under the public held Jiang Tao’s arm, more or less a little bit of unsightly. Well, it is not elegant, how could she be jealous, of course she will not be jealous.
“These are your friends, right? Not introducing them to me?” The woman’s bright red painted lips opened and closed, almost about to stick on Jiang Tao’s face, “I bought a house in Blue Water City but haven’t met any friends yet, today it’s good to meet so many people at once, your friends are my friends, right?”
Jiang Tao gently pushed her away, at the same time back a step to stand to the side of Zi Shan, almost to stick in Zi Shan’s body, “This is my childhood playmate ……,” his voice was a little dry.
The woman also does not mind Jiang Tao pushed her away, once again stick up a sweet smile: “Still playmate, why don’t you say we are cousins?” When she heard these words, Zi Shan’s heart inexplicably loosened – it turned out to be a relative, and the expression on her face lightened up quite a bit, no longer tight and tense.
“I’m Jiang Tao’s girlfriend, his only girlfriend since childhood, Ma Li.” The woman went on, stretching out a delicate – the same thirty years old, but Zi Shan and the others, including An Ping are not as tender as others’ hands, it looks as if a girl in her early twenties possesses a small hand: “Hello, we Jiang Tao let you take care of it. ”
Jiang Tao slapped her hand to the side, glancing down at Zi Shan an apology flashed in her eyes, reaching out and wrapping her arms around her waist, “Stop joking around, Cousin Li, Zi Shan, this is Cousin Li, Cousin Li, this is Zi Shan, my girlfriend.”
Zi Shan felt Mari’s pair of eyes go cold for a split second, and the smile on her face came to her eyes after she turned on herself, “Girlfriend? Is it a female friend or girlfriend? Tao, your words are so vague, do you think Cousin Li I’m that easy to fool? Hello, it’s nice to meet you.” She stretched out her hand to shake Zi Shan’s, and all she could see in her smile was cordiality.
Zixan’s heart, however, grew chills, knowing that Mari had a good deal of animosity towards her – but they had only met for the first time, “Hello.” She simply coped, not showing Mari too much of her goodwill.
For Jiang Tao’s hand on her waist, she didn’t break free although she was a bit uncomfortable, and only cursed in her heart – I’ll settle the score with you in a while, how dare you use me as a shield, but whether or not there’s really any anger in it, that’s something only the heavens and herself know.
Jiang Tao looked at Ma Li lightly, “Girlfriend.”
“Girlfriend? It’s really rare, I thought you liked men.” Ma Li exaggeratedly smiled pat: “Is it want to talk even if it is just for fun, or is it a relationship with marriage as a prerequisite? There are a lot of dao in this. Ah, see my mouth, is a straight will not speak, in front of Zishan’s face how can not reveal Tao’s short. Zi Shan, don’t take it personally.”
Zi Shan looked at her and stared straight into her eyes until she couldn’t laugh anymore before she spoke, “You don’t like me.”
Mari choked on her spit, she said she was straight yet she didn’t realize that there were people in the world who were even more straight than she was, and just opened the door and spoke, causing her to be that much of a mess, always, only the ones who were messed up in her joyfulness and anger, this was really the first time in the last few years.
“You dislike me very much.” Zixan was very sure to repeat once more, “I don’t know where your hostility towards me comes from when we first met and just got to know each other, but there’s one thing I can tell you – I don’t like to get along with people who are hostile towards me, and even less will I falsely socialize with people who are hostile towards me. It’s your business if you want to, but I won’t cooperate.”
She backhanded Jiang Tao’s arm and sighed slightly mentally after seeing Mari’s eyes contract for a moment, “Here’s a piece of advice, if it were me, I wouldn’t condescend to smile in the face of someone I hated, just like I’m doing to you right now, and also, I wouldn’t condescend to any relative, not to mention the fact that you’re just Jiang Tao’s cousin. ”
Ma Li’s face was a bit embarrassed, laughing was no longer able to laugh, looking at Zi Shan for a while she looked at Jiang Tao: “That’s awesome, I think you’ll be angry for the rest of your life if you really marry her. Originally I also wanted to stay in your girlfriend’s house, it seems she won’t entertain me – you just let her bully me? Once upon a time, I was very protective of you.”
Jiang Tao looked at Zi Shan, “Cousin Li, if you were just here to see us, Zi Shan and I would welcome you, but you and I know in our hearts that you’re not. Besides, you didn’t just arrive at Blue Water today, did you? You know that Lin Hao and I are in a state of flames, yet you didn’t show up until now, what else do you want me to say? Zi Shan is a measured person, she didn’t say or do anything wrong, and I’m more than likely not going to force her to condescend to herself because of me or because of anyone else.”
Ma Li’s eyes flickered, Zi Shan had already spoken before her, “Even if Jiang Tao and I won’t get married, wouldn’t he be aggravated if he married you?” Zi Shan’s words once again choked Ma Li, although she showed enthusiasm, she also showed her identity, at least on the surface she was “just” a cousin.
“Good.” She is not Li Rongqi, not a young girl who is just starting out, she quickly adjusted her state and once again revealed a smile as she looked at Zi Shan: “Very good, I didn’t expect you to be so interesting, well, I’m going to interrupt next, I hope you don’t mind. If I do mind, I won’t be embarrassed.”
She finished and winked at Jiang Tao, “Tao, you haven’t told her that you and I …… were together the year you turned sixteen, hey, you could have been a man a long time ago. She was right, I can not just be your cousin, in fact, to say that I am not her cousin at all, because my aunt is not his mother.”
After finishing her sentence, she also ignored Lin Hao, and straight away twisted her waist and walked away, only leaving behind a string of crisp high heeled shoes.
Lin Hao looked at him, “She won’t stop there, you know yourself.”
Jiang Tao said faintly, “Thank you for your trouble.” Didn’t say much because he felt as if Zi Shan was a bit angry, well, really angry, right? Damn Mari!
Lin Hao looked at Zi Shan, “As I said, you know too little about Jiang Tao, and Mari will let you know Jiang Tao that little bit more, I have no malice, no matter what I did, Zi Shan, it’s all because I love you so much, I just want you to understand, to know that the one who loves you the most in the world is me, and the one who can protect you is also me.”
Zishan did not answer his words, but hugged Jiang Tao’s arm and looked up, “Let’s go to dinner, just go to the last time you said that what a western restaurant, not that there will be a candlelight dinner in the evening, two people are just right.” Just how her smile is permeated with a little hideous.
Jiang Tao’s scalp was a little numb, he looked at Anping three people somewhat pitifully said, “My treat ……”
An Ping was very dry: “I’ll take Chu Xiang to have some fun tonight, don’t count on me, alas, there are some things ah, you can only seek your own happiness. Isn’t that right, Xue Jing?”
Xue Jing nodded: “Right. I have to go on my husband’s date tonight, if you don’t mind being used as a cushion by the fat man for that hour or two, I don’t mind going out for some kind of western food.”
Zi Shan raises her eyebrows to drop Jiang Tao’s arm, “So it’s me who thought left, what a shame, it looks like I can only go to western food alone.” She stretched her clothes: “I’m going to take a taxi, it seems that we should really take a test for a book, can’t drive without a driver is really troublesome ah.”
Jiang Tao heard the rush to An Ping and others for help, but they were very unintentional and walked away, while he could only chase after them to make amends.
Watching Zi Shan and Jiang Tao flirting, Lin Hao’s mouthful of old blood almost didn’t spit out! He desperately comforted himself that this was Zi Shan’s deliberate act, it was Zi Shan doing it to him, proving sideways that Zi Shan still cared about him.
