Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1205. The Story of Meng Ye (55)

"Regardless of how you feel about the girlfriend someone introduced you to, she seems to like you quite a bit, and your family likes her too. When you go back, you should really give it a try with her."

After saying all this, you still want to break up with me?

"Separating is better for both of us," Meng said.

Lu Qing remained silent, her eyes fixed on Meng Ye.

"Alright, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." Meng Ye took his phone, put it in his bag, and smiled again. "Be careful in the future, don't delete your girlfriend's friends randomly."

"I won't do it again, I'll change," Lu Qing said quickly. "It's because I care about you so much that I can't stand that you have other men in your friends list."

"That was advice I gave you after we broke up. Whether you change it or not is none of my business."

Meng said this, opened the door, and left.

Just as Lin Xi was about to speak, the scene changed.

They were standing in front of a gold shop.

—Why are you at a jewelry store?

—Any new developments?

—Judging from the timeline, it was the period when she was with Xiaoguang and Zeng Shuai.

— Xiaoguang and the others had dinner at Mengye's house yesterday; this is the evening of the second day.

—Meng Ye and Xiao Guang have arrived.

Lin Xi and the others also saw Meng Ye and Xiao Guang.

Xiaoguang rode his motorcycle with Mengye on the back and stopped in front of the gold shop.

"What are you doing here?" Meng asked.

“I passed by here a few days ago and saw a gold Buddha pendant. It was very beautiful. I brought it to you to see. Do you like it?” Xiaoguang said.

"Give it to me?" Meng asked.

Xiaoguang laughed: "It depends on whether you like it or not."

“The things you picked out are all very good,” Meng said. “The thermal underwear you gave me before the New Year, I wore it all the time when I went home, it was just the right length, not too long, not too short, not too loose, not too tight.”

"As long as you like it."

Look at Xiaoguang.

—A grown-up should either give clothes or gold.

—Exactly, giving a doll as a gift is so immature.

How romantic!

—Who can't be romantic? Xiaoguang even sent flowers to me!

Meng didn't refuse, and Hanxiao and Xiaoguang went into the gold shop.

Xiaoguang took her to see the gold Buddha pendant, which Meng liked very much. Xiaoguang immediately had it set up and went to pay for it.

Meng didn't wait there, but went to another counter in the gold shop.

"You said you were going to get new stock last time, has it arrived yet?" Meng asked.

"You're here. You want a jade Guanyin, right? It's over here." The sales assistant was very enthusiastic. "You didn't like any of the ones last time, but this time there's definitely one you'll like."

As the clerk spoke, she enthusiastically took out several Guanyin pendants for Meng to see.

Meng immediately took a liking to one with a hint of emerald green.

"This one is fine, give me the invoice."

—Meng Ye, aren't you going to ask about the price?
Meng glanced at it; it was on the label.

—The price is about the same as the gold Buddha statue we just saw.

So, Meng bought this for Xiaoguang?
Meng should have wanted to buy it a long time ago, but last time there wasn't one she liked.

Meng is still more self-centered than Xiaoguang. At least Xiaoguang lets her see if she likes it or not, while she only cares about whether she likes it or not.

—She probably didn't want Xiaoguang to know, because she was afraid he wouldn't accept it!

—That's true. I guess Xiaoguang feels it's his duty to spend money on Mengye, and that Mengye shouldn't be spending money on him. —Xiaoguang has a male mindset, but Mengye likes gender equality.

—When the two of them ate together, or when they took Yan Yan out to eat, Meng Ye and Xiao Guang each ate together once.

But sometimes, Xiaoguang would secretly pay in advance.

—How can you distinguish them so clearly? Just be roughly right.

— I reckon if Meng and Xiaoguang are too clearly separated, Xiaoguang will be unhappy.

"What are you doing?" Xiaoguang had already paid and found Mengye.

"This is for you." Meng Ye handed the gift bag to Xiaoguang. "Guanyin."

"Are you... trying to return the favor?" Xiaoguang wasn't unhappy, but his voice was clearly a little downcast.

"Brother, this lady came to see this shop a few days ago, but didn't like anything," the pretty young clerk immediately said with a smile. "You two are on the same wavelength, it's not a matter of reciprocity."

—This pretty girl has such high emotional intelligence.

—She must have seen the gift bag in Xiaoguang's hand.

—The little beauty is so good at talking, Xiaoguang was immediately happy.

—The more items the pretty girl sells, the more commission she earns.

—Look how worried you all are!

—Speaking of which, Qingyue doesn't only own this one gold shop, right? The fact that the two of them actually chose to give each other gifts from the same shop is quite a coincidence.

——It’s true!

—Actually, judging from the gifts he gave, Meng is also a pragmatic type.

—Yes, the things she gave Lu Qing were all practical, like wallets and clothes.

—Lu Qing is only in his twenties, it's normal for him to give her a doll!
—Yes, giving away dolls and small mirrors are things that people in their twenties would do.

—Didn't Meng also like it? What Meng didn't like was Lu Qing's personality.

—Stalking, deleting friends, either one of these two things would be enough for me, let alone Lu Qing doing both.

This time the screen didn't rotate.

Watching the two leave, Lin Xi and the others immediately teleported to the factory where Meng Ye worked.

They have tents here.

After the six of them finished eating and quickly washed up, they gathered together to discuss whether they should go to Meng Ye's house again.

"Let's not go, they'll definitely be all lovey-dovey!" Lin Xi said.

“Yes, let’s rest first. Maybe we’ll be moved to another location sometime,” Huang Jingjing agreed.

It was alright; they didn't have to change scenes for them.

The next day, Meng came to work with a thin red string around her neck and the pendant that Xiaoguang had given her.

Huang Jingjing was curious and even teleported to the store to take a look.

"Xiaoguang was also wearing the Guanyin pendant that Meng had given her."

“Logically speaking, Lu Qing’s love seems to be more intense and stronger than Xiao Guang’s. I thought Meng Ye would prefer that feeling,” Zhang Xuesong said. “But, Lu Qing is not on the Big Dipper at all.”

Does this mean that Meng also prefers a slow and steady approach?

"Meng liked them all, and she didn't like them all. In any case, they were all failed romantic experiences for her."

“If Lu Qing were handsome and tall, Meng Ye could probably tolerate him doing just one thing: stalking and deleting friends,” Huang Jingjing laughed.

"Moreover, as a man, he acts coquettishly and aggrieved far too frequently," Gan Ning said. "Occasionally it's a bit of fun, but constant coquettishness and aggrieved behavior is unbearable! Even women find it unbearable, let alone men!"

“Indeed,” Huang Jingjing said. “I just can’t stand it.”

“Don’t worry, I can’t do things like acting cute,” Zhang Yutong immediately replied.

"Huh?" Bai asked, his mouth slightly agape. "Is this really that annoying?"

After Bai finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth, looked around warily, and then put his hand down.

"Don't let me finish the game early, I want to see Meng Ye's story," Bai Ye whispered. "I won't listen to them, don't worry!"
