Chapter 171: Zhang Xiaoliang reluctantly enlightens
Tao Jiujiu felt a little surprised when Zhang Xiaoliang called from the street.
"Xiao Yuan, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zhang Xiaoliang said with concern as before.
Tao Jiujiu squeezed out a smile helplessly, wondering whether Zhang Xiaoliang took the initiative to care about her or was here to be a lobbyist for Ye Hongtao.
"Yeah... I feel a little uncomfortable." Tao Jiujiu took the opportunity to borrow the excuse given by Zhang Xiaoliang.
"Have you ever seen a doctor?" Zhang Xiaoliang asked with concern, "It has changed recently. Your girls' clothes are thin, so many people have a cold."
His care made Tao Jiujiu feel warm, but his dissatisfaction with Ye Hongtao became even greater - even Zhang Xiaoliang knew to call to care about her, what did Ye Hongtao do for him, what did he do for him? He hadn't even called a phone call!
"It's okay, I just cough, just take a break." Tao Jiujiu smiled gratefully, "Xiaoliang, thank you for caring for me so much. By the way, didn't you go on a blind date that day? How was that girl? Can you get along with you?"
"She is very good, but it's not what I want." Zhang Xiaoliang smiled kindly.
"That's it." Tao Jiujiu also smiled, "If one day you meet the person you want, remember to catch the other person."
"I know." Zhang Xiaoliang felt unconsciously disappointed in his words, and Tao Jiujiu could not hear it.
After brewing for a long time, Tao Jiujiu finally asked: "How are Hong Tao doing these two days?"
"I was about to talk about Hong Tao, but this guy didn't know what happened. He had eaten ** these two days. He was angry when he saw anyone, and even the secretary made him scold and cry."
"Will he scold a woman?" Tao Jiujiu was surprised.
Didn’t Ye Hongtao always like to be polite? Before he met himself, he was still the kind of guy who could be described as "**". He had more girlfriends than others had seen. It was strange that people like him would be fierce women.
"Yes, Su Yanyan didn't say much when she was sleeping in the company before. She got a mistake in the report this morning and was scolded to death. "Zhang Xiaoliang was probably not used to such a "vulgar" adjective. She said it a little awkwardly. After a pause, she asked carefully, "Jiujiu, are you quarreling with him?"
It seems that Ye Hongtao was acting obvious enough that even Zhang Xiaoliang, who was outside the room, could guess what happened between them based on his emotions.
"Have he told you something?" Tao Jiujiu asked back without answering.
"No." Zhang Xiaoliang replied, "I saw it myself. You are the first one to make him so helpless."
First? Is Zhang Xiaoliang not clear about the incident between Ye Hongtao and Mu Wu?
"He has had some girlfriends in the past few years, but no one he has ever taken seriously. You are different. You are the first little girl to make him care so much..." Zhang Xiaoliang spoke in a standard lobbyist tone.
"Enough, don't say anything more." Tao Jiujiu suddenly turned against her.
Since she was played by Su Yanyan and Yang Meina and met Zhang Xiaoliang on the sixth floor of Ye's building, Zhang Xiaoliang has been taking good care of her and often helping her. In her feelings, he is a good friend, as friendly as her brother. So, she doesn't want him to be a lobbyist for Ye Hongtao.
Zhang Xiaoliang was silent for a while before calming down his emotions and said calmly: "Since you don't like to listen, I won't say it. The affairs between you shouldn't be my own control."
He was depressed and seemed to be dissatisfied. Tao Jiujiu heard the smell and quickly reimbursed him: "I'm sorry Xiaoliang, I'm not targeting you, I'm really angry. Ye Hongtao was too much."
"What did he do to make you so angry?" Zhang Xiaoliang also understood what she meant, and asked in a nice voice.
Tao Jiujiu asked without answering, "Xiaoliang, what do you think is the most unacceptable thing for couples?"
"Deception and betrayal." Zhang Xiaoliang answered decisively.
Tao Jiujiu was shocked and felt a sense of resonance like a close friend. His answer was exactly the same as what she thought. It seemed that the two of them had the same attitude towards feelings.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaoliang asked again: "You mean, Hong Tao, he deceived you, and betrayed you?"
"So that's it." Taojiujiu did not cover up any concealment.
"Maybe, everything is a misunderstanding?" Zhang Xiaoliang persuaded patiently.
Even he was surprised that he had such great ideas and could speak good things for his friends and rivals. Although he had not made clear about his feelings for Tao Jiujiu, from a certain perspective, Ye Hongtao was his rival. If it weren't for Tao Jiujiu meeting Ye Hongtao first, he felt that he and Tao Jiujiu had a chance, and perhaps they were more suitable.
It’s a pity that everything was destined to be in the dark. He and Tao Jiujiu had no fate from the beginning.
Therefore, he was willing to turn all his reluctance into blessings, only because Ye Hongtao was his close friend as close as his brothers, and Tao Jiujiu was the person he loved.
"I gave him a chance, but he didn't confess." Tao Jiujiu's voice revealed melancholy.
Zhang Xiaoliang couldn't help but sigh that because of love, cheerful, optimistic, and carefree little girls like Tao Jiujiu would have such moments of being hurt by love.
"Xiao Yuan, listen to me. With my understanding of Hong Tao, he truly loves you and will never do anything that is sorry for you. There must be another hidden truth in this matter. I think that even if he doesn't tell you in the future, you will know the truth."
"Is that true?" Tao Jiujiu listened to Zhang Xiaoliang's analysis, and felt it made sense, but also seemed to have mystery, so she joked again, "Xiaoliang, you seem to understand feelings very much. How many girlfriends have you ever had?"
"I... only one..." Zhang Xiaoliang talked about his emotional experience with Tao Jiujiu for the first time, "but he has separated from her."
"Why are you breaking up?" Tao Jiujiu didn't want to hear anything about Ye Hongtao now, and successfully brought the topic to Zhang Xiaoliang.
"We..." Zhang Xiaoliang's thoughts turned around and talked about his experience.
She and him were arranged by the parents of both parties. At first they disliked each other. She hated his scholarly aura and felt that he was weak and lacked masculinity. He didn't like her eldest lady's behavior, and felt that she was arrogant and rude. The first time the two of them had a big fight, but later, the two gradually fell in love with each other. Then, they finally tried to date and had a happy and sweet time, but unfortunately, they still couldn't get together in the end.
"We broke up because of our personality." Zhang Xiaoliang smiled lightly, "I still prefer the girl next door with a simple personality."
"Then last time..."
"Haha, you said it was last time." Zhang Xiaoliang smiled, "Last time, Wen Zhiqian asked Hong Tao for dinner, and Hong Tao pushed me to see her, as if he was matching us, but it was a pity..."
"He doesn't know you hate that arrogant lady!" Tao Jiujiu smiled.
"You can laugh, it seems that you are in a bad mood." Zhang Xiaoliang smiled with confidence, "You really say whatever you think. I really hate such arrogant girls."
"I..." After Zhang Xiaoliang's guidance, Tao Jiujiu began to try to analyze what happened that night from Ye Hongtao's standpoint. Perhaps, he really had his own difficulties, perhaps, the lip marks left by that woman were just a prank...
Is this the humility of love? You can forgive the other party for any far-fetched reason, even those are not considered a reason.
Tao Jiujiu had not admitted it yet, but she had already thoughts of forgiveing Ye Hongtao - as long as he was willing to apologize on his own initiative, she could leave the blame.
"Xiaoyuan, since you are not sad, then I'll go and do my best. I hope you can return to the company as soon as possible!" Zhang Xiaoliang hung up the phone.
Tao Jiujiu held the mobile phone that was still warm in his hand, thinking about every word he said. Zhang Xiaoliang, who was as gentle as jade in dealing with people, seemed to not understand love, but his experience of feelings was deeper than anyone else.
