Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at the rather mournful-looking Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, sighed, slowly stood up from her chair, walked over to the light switch, and snapped the light off, plunging the room into darkness.

The group lay down on the bed and dimmed their phone lights to avoid Liang Shuang's gossip. They then started sending messages in the group chat they had created.

Luo Yan: "Xiao Guo, you were worried about her being cheated by a scumbag, but look at her attitude, she doesn't care about us at all."

Duan Jiabao: "Yes, yes... Think about how comfortable the three of us used to live together. It's so awkward now that she's back."

Jiang Xiaoguo: "Yes! I used to feel sorry for her, but now that I think about it, we're always being suppressed by her, so how can we have the right to pity her?"

Luo Yan: "What are your thoughts on the golf thing? Are you going to say anything more?"

Jiang Xiaoguo: "I haven't thought it through yet. Even if Liang Shuang has a foul mouth, we are still roommates, and I don't want to see her being deceived by a scumbag."

Luo Yan: "Xiao Guo is still as kind as ever. You should make the decision yourself. We fully support you."

Duan Jiabao: "Yes, Xiaoguo, no matter what you do, we will firmly support you."

Chapter 310 Deception and Honesty

The following morning, which was the weekend, Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Duan Jiabao were all in the dormitory. Liang Shuang went out to answer a phone call and came back humming a song with a happy face. Then she started changing clothes and putting on makeup.

The group looked at each other, still confused about what was going on.

A while later, a car horn sounded downstairs in the dormitory building. Liang Shuang looked in the mirror again, grabbed her bag, and hurried downstairs.

Curious, the group went up to the balcony and looked down. It turned out to be Golf. Liang Shuang got into the car with Golf, and the driver even considerately fastened her seatbelt.

The group of people were shocked and their eyes widened.

"They actually made up."

"When did they make up?"

"Liang Shuang doesn't know anything, could she have been deceived?"

"What's wrong with the school security guards? They just let cars from outside the school in like that. Don't they have any school rules?"

Jiang Xiaoguo watched the car drive away and began to feel troubled. She was just about to postpone the matter when the other party had already made up.

What should you do now? Tell them what happened and ruin their relationship, or keep it a secret and pretend you know nothing?

Jiang Xiaoguo became increasingly confused, but she also knew that this was something that couldn't be delayed and that she had to make a decision as soon as possible.

……

On the other hand, although Chen Zhuo successfully picked up Liang Shuang, it was only after he said a lot of nice things over the phone that he managed to do so. When they met, he couldn't help but say a lot of nice things to appease her.

"Grandma, I really only smoked one cigarette that day. I was worried you'd smell the smoke, so I washed the sofa, curtains, sheets, and duvet covers. Now there's not even any dust, let alone cigarette ash!"

Liang Shuang snorted and said, "Really? Is that true?"

"Then let me ask you: why did it take you five hours for me to send me your first WeChat message, and fourteen hours for you to call me?"

"When we used to argue, you'd make up with me in two minutes. It's been 24 hours now, and you're only now coming to pick me up? Do you think you did the right thing?"

Faced with Liang Shuang's unreasonable questions, Chen Zhuo could only suppress his temper and explain, "I admit that I've been quite busy lately and neglected your feelings. It was my fault."

"How about this, I'll take you out for Western food later, then we'll have a spa treatment, and then we'll buy you a bag."

Liang Shuang pouted: "Why are you always like this? Eating Japanese food, buying bags, spa treatments, three-piece sets, can't you come up with something new? You have no idea what I want!"

Chen Zhuo was also holding his breath, but considering Liang Shuang's personality, he could only continue to appease her.

……

After a long while, Liang Shuang finally let out her anger. Just as she was about to speak to ease the tension, she noticed a shopping bag next to the sofa.

She picked up the shopping bag and saw a beige blazer inside. She opened it and looked at it; it was quite pretty.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at Chen Zhuo, saying, "Where did you get these clothes? They're pretty nice."

Upon seeing the dress, Chen Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. She had accompanied another woman here yesterday, but she couldn't remember when the other woman had left the dress she had just bought behind.

Facing Liang Shuang, to avoid making a scene, he could only smile and say, "Oh, this dress! I bought it for you. Don't you really like this brand?"

"This outfit is really hard to find. I had someone buy it for me from overseas. Look, it's definitely this brand, right? Do you like it?"

Seeing Liang Shuang staring at the suit jacket with bright eyes without saying a word, Chen Zhuo smiled and draped the suit jacket over her shoulders.

"Come on, try them on!"

Chen Zhuo's attitude pleased Liang Shuang, and a smile appeared on her lips. She liked the dress, but that was secondary; she liked her boyfriend's attitude towards her even more.

Chen Zhuo looked her up and down and exclaimed, "She looks so good! My Xiao Shuang is a clothes hanger; she looks good in everything!"

Liang Shuang said with a smile, "Don't think you can bribe me with just a piece of clothing!"

Liang Shuang straightened her white suit jacket and frowned.

"You seem to have gained a little weight. Did you buy the wrong size?"

"Oh no!"

Looking at the suit jacket, which was indeed a bit too big, Chen Zhuo pretended to be confused and said, "The purchasing agent probably made a mistake. I'll ask them to exchange it for another one later?"

Liang Shuang shook her head: "Fine, it's big if it's big. It looks pretty good, I like it."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Seeing that he had coaxed Liang Shuang enough, Chen Zhuo was about to suggest taking Liang Shuang out for Western food when his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed, and he smiled, saying, "It's work-related. I'll take this call."

He then went into the study, closed the door, and two minutes later, Chen Zhuo came out with an apologetic look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Shuang, I can't go out to dinner with you today. A big client of the company is here, and I need to go over to discuss business."

Liang Shuang's expression changed.

"It's always like this. We're always clients, and it's not easy to have a meal together."

Chen Zhuo said with a forced smile, "There's nothing I can do about it; that's how it is in business."

Liang Shuang wasn't an unreasonable person: "Alright, go ahead."

Chen Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay, I'm leaving now."

With that, he picked up his handbag and hurriedly left.

Liang Shuang also wanted to go back to school, but considering that she had left in front of her roommates that morning, she felt she would lose face if she went back now, so she decided to go back in the afternoon.

……

In the afternoon, at the girls' dormitory.

When Jiang Xiaoguo returned from the library, she found Duan Jiabao trying on clothes. The style looked familiar, and she asked curiously, "Did you buy this?"

Duan Jiabao laughed and said, "Yes! I just bought a new dress, why don't you try it on?"

He handed it over as he spoke.

Looking at the off-white suit jacket in front of her, Jiang Xiaoguo was filled with mixed emotions. She had tried on the jacket at the mall yesterday, but unfortunately, she was too poor to afford it.

I never expected to see him again today.

Duan Jiabao asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Looking at the suit jacket in front of her, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and said, "It looks good. Look at the fabric, the workmanship, and the cut. I saw it in the mall yesterday and even tried it on. It looks really good."

Duan Jiabao said, "Really! Then why didn't you..." He stopped midway through his sentence. It was obvious why Jiang Xiaoguo hadn't bought anything—she was definitely short of money.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the group paused for a moment. In the dormitory, very few people actually knocked on the door properly.

Jiang Xiaoguo asked, "Who is it?"

A woman's voice came from outside the door: "Does Jiang Xiaoguo live here? I'm a delivery person from the mall. I've brought you the clothes Mr. Zhao ordered."

Jiang Xiaoguo paused for a moment, then opened the door and said, "The clothes I ordered, when did I..." She suddenly remembered Zhao Dachuan.

The well-dressed professional deliveryman said, "Here's the thing, you tried on a beige blazer in our mall yesterday, but you didn't take it with you. Mr. Zhao called this morning and left his address, asking us to deliver the blazer to you."

Jiang Xiaoguo was stunned. Zhao Dachuan had actually bought him clothes and even delivered them.

"Sorry, wait a moment." With that, Jiang Xiaoguo dialed Li Mu's number.

"Someone delivered clothes to me at the mall just now, was it you...?"

Li Mu said, "It's me!"

Jiang Xiaoguo: "Why did you send me clothes!"

Li Mu said, "Didn't you like it yesterday? We've been dating for several years, and I've never given you a decent gift, which is a real shame. This dress is a way to make up for it."

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed: "But, I..."

Li Mu said, "No buts, the money has already been paid, and I'm too lazy to return it."

"As your ex-girlfriend, it's nothing for me to give you a piece of clothing. You don't think I'm trying to make a move on you, do you?"

Jiang Xiaoguo's face turned even redder.

"No, I didn't!"

Li Mu said, "That's a good idea. Then let's leave it at that. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."

Jiang Xiaoguo pouted and hung up the phone. What do you mean, "It's good that you think that way"? Are you afraid that she'll overthink it? She won't overthink it at all, Jiang Xiaoguo thought, her head spinning.

Next, following procedure, Jiang Xiaoguo signed for the clothes, her mind still a bit foggy. After the delivery person left, she took out the clothes, tried them on, and her face lit up with joy.
