Chapter 145 In fact, we are not strangers.
After leaving, Chen Xiaobai found a secluded coffee shop to sit down.
His contact information is still on my phone. I had already deleted it, but there are still records of emails I sent to him.
The call connected quickly, but Chen Xiaobai hesitated, opened his mouth and asked, "Richard, is that right? Do you know of a diamond called the Desert Star?"
......
That's right, Chen Xiaobai didn't mention this. He can only take care of Yu Mo for a while, how can he take care of her forever?
Judging from Yu Mo's expression, she's clearly at odds with Richard, and she'll find out about this sooner or later.
Since that's the case, why should I get too involved? I should just let things develop naturally. If Yu Mo finds out that I'm the other woman, with so many friends around, she won't be allowed to sink into despair.
On the contrary, if we keep putting it off and only discover it later, won't it cause us psychological distress?
What if my friends aren't around when the time comes?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobai picked up the coffee he was drinking and downed it in one gulp. "Pah, how can anyone like to drink this stuff? It's so bitter, like Chinese medicine!"
"There are actually people who like cat poop..."
Leaving the coffee shop, Chen Xiaobai, in a good mood, strode back to his apartment with an air of nonchalance.
The Desert Star was indeed in Richard's possession. He had bought it a few days ago when he went to South Africa, intending to give it to his wife for her birthday some time later.
Before Chen Xiaobai even said he wanted to buy, he said he wanted to sell to Chen Xiaobai, and the two settled on a price in just a few words.
As for the specific amount? I didn't notice!
Chen Xiaobai calmly stated, "I don't love money; money is just a number..."
Although it sounds pretentious, it contains a truth: only those who are rich can have this kind of feeling; those who are less wealthy cannot say such things.
Money isn't everything, but it can solve 99% of the world's problems. The remaining 1% is about how to spend money!
......
Back at the apartment, Yu Mo indeed couldn't find the diamond ring, even with the help of three people.
The group worked together to help restore the 3602, which had been battered and bruised, to its original state.
Half a day later, Chen Xiaobai and the others collapsed on the sofa. Although the housework wasn't physically tiring, it was mentally exhausting!
They were inherently resistant to doing it, yet had no choice but to...
Don't tell me you dare stand by and do nothing while your wife is doing housework.
In Chen Xiaobai's opinion, the most painful thing in the world is doing housework, doing housework year after year, day after day.
Chen Xiaobai was originally too lazy to do it, but he had no choice but to.
Later, Lin Qingqing took the initiative to do the housework, with Chen Xiaobai assisting her.
However, Chen Xiaobai felt sorry for Lin Qingqing (actually, he didn't want to do it), so he simply found a part-time worker to come every two days.
Finally, she was free. Although Lin Qingqing was a little resentful, Chen Xiaobai did eight sets of radio calisthenics that night, and Lin Qingqing shut up. Chen Xiaobai rubbed his side, a smile appearing on his chapped lips...
......
night.
Bar downstairs.
Chen Xiaobai sat helplessly at the bar, looking at Yu Mo waiting in the pavilion outside.
He cursed inwardly, "Who gave Yu Mo Tina's contact information? What a beast!!!"
It's not that it's impossible, but isn't this too fast? Can we wait until after today to talk about it?
Qingqing finally gets a weekend off, finally gets to indulge herself a little. She usually has to be so restrained. Is it easy for her...?
"Achoo~ Who's talking about me behind my back?"
Xiao Hei sneezed, mumbled something, then looked at the bank card deposit notification on his phone and burst out laughing, "Hahaha~, next month's rent is in!"
......
However, everyone else was there too, all part of the support group, so Chen Xiaobai didn't say much.
Just then, Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian also arrived at the scene. Everyone else was there except for Zhang Wei, who had gone to the library that afternoon and was unaware of the situation.
Zeng Xiaoxian was clearly reluctant. He had to go to work that night and should have been sleeping at home instead of coming here to watch the drama unfold.
However, Hu Yifei clearly used force to intimidate him, making him obediently come here.
Lin Qingqing went to chat with Youyou about gossip, and the two were unusually excited.
Lu Ziqiao stared intently at the battlefield, preparing to learn how Tina had been deceived and draw lessons from their experience. Once he learned these lessons, he wouldn't have to worry about reasons to reject girls all the time.
It's like scumbags learning from each other's experiences!
After hearing this, Hu Yifei glared at him dangerously, but didn't say anything. After all, Ziqiao was different from Richard; he was single, and his relationships with girls were based on mutual consent—one was willing to give, and the other was willing to receive, so there was nothing she could say.
Guan Gu was the most exaggerated, holding up two small flags, one that read "Down with the scumbag!" and the other "Give me back my true feelings!"
She confidently declared, "I'm here specifically to support Yu Mo. Yu Mo is on the side of justice, and good will always prevail over evil. I even prepared this prop. I'm sure Yu Mo will win this battle to expose scumbags!"
Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei exclaimed in unison, "You guessed again?!?!"
The two suddenly looked at each other in shock and said, "Wait, why did we say... 'again'?"
Everyone shrugged, indicating they didn't know, and then each found a seat to sit down and chat.
......
A little while later, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and with an elegant demeanor walked into the bar and headed straight for the outdoor terrace.
Everyone perked up, and Qin Yumo also noticed her, standing up and waving to her.
Chen Xiaobai looked surprised. It had only been a short time since he last saw her, but this woman had already recovered from her previous dejection and looked much better.
Could she be a socialite...?
That would be much more interesting!
Chen Xiaobai looked excited. If that was the case, he had really screwed Richard over. No wonder she was unwilling to divorce him even after taking all the property. She had her eye on Richard's earning power and wanted to drain him dry!
Good thing!
......
Meanwhile, the two had already taken their seats at Yu Mo's place.
Tina looked Yu Mo up and down curiously, and asked, "Hello, I'm sorry, I don't have a very good memory. May I ask who you are? I don't think I know you."
"Um...actually, we don't know each other!"
Yu Mo frankly admitted that she had obtained her contact information and then invited her out under the guise of an old friend.
"So what's your purpose in asking me out?"
Tina's expression changed instantly, becoming somewhat cold and wary.
"How about we order a drink first?"
Yu Mo didn't care about her attitude, and instead smiled and called over the bartender.
"No need, just tell me what's wrong. I need to go back and rest early, it's already very late!" Tina glanced at her watch, looking a little impatient.
Yu Mo understood her feelings, and her expression suddenly turned serious. "In fact, we are not strangers, but comrades-in-arms, comrades-in-arms who were persecuted together..."
