Liang Shuang said, "No, I've never seen it even once."
Li Mu suddenly spoke up: "I've heard some news, I don't know if you want to hear it."
Jiang Xiaoguo asked, "What news?"
Li Mu glanced at Liang Shuang: "I heard from a friend that Chen Zhuo is already engaged."
Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes widened as she looked at Liang Shuang with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you just receive your wedding ring yesterday? When did you get engaged?"
Liang Shuang was also puzzled, and her expression turned even more unpleasant as she seemed to have thought of something.
Li Mu continued, "According to my friend, Chen Zhuo got engaged about three years ago, and the wedding is just around the corner."
Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Duan Jiabao exchanged glances, utterly shocked. Chen Zhuo and Liang Shuang hadn't even known each other for three years! The person he was engaged to definitely wasn't Liang Shuang.
This means very clearly: it's not that Chen Zhuo cheated on Liang Shuang; it means that Chen Zhuo cheated on his fiancée with Liang Shuang.
This means that Liang Shuang was the newcomer, the third party who interfered, and could also be called a mistress, even though she was also a victim.
"Liang Shuang is a mistress." This information completely shocked Jiang Xiaoguo and the others.
The fact that Liang Shuang, who is so aloof and proud, was cheated on is something none of the three people involved could have imagined. Amidst their感慨 (feelings of mixed emotions), they also felt a little excited.
Okay! It's because Liang Shuang is always so sharp-tongued.
Duan Jiabao suddenly spoke up, his tone puzzled: "That's not right! Since Golf is already engaged, why would he still propose to Liang Shuang and give her a diamond ring?"
Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan were also puzzled and turned to look at Liang Shuang. Liang Shuang took a breath and tried her best to appear nonchalant.
"He didn't propose; the ring was found in the clothes he gave me yesterday."
Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly remembered the woman in the video, who was also wearing a similar off-white blazer: "Liang Shuang, that blazer seems a bit big on you. Did he really give it to you? Are there any signs that someone else has worn it?"
Liang Shuang opened the video again, looked at the beige blazer the woman was wearing, and recalled yesterday's events. Chen Zhuo hadn't mentioned giving her the clothes at the time; she only said so after she accidentally discovered them.
Even the ring was something she discovered by chance after returning to her dorm. When she called Chen Zhuo, he gave evasive answers.
Thinking of this, Liang Shuang realized a terrible truth: the diamond ring might not have been given to her, nor might the white suit have been given to her, but belonged to another woman, Chen Zhuo's real fiancée.
The two went shopping together the day before yesterday, and perhaps the other person left their clothes behind. By chance, she misunderstood.
This deduction stunned Liang Shuang for a moment. She suddenly realized that because of Chen Zhuo's concealment, she had played a less than honorable role in this relationship, and also a role that was disliked.
Chapter 313 Beauty Filters and Photo Editing
Seeing Liang Shuang's gloomy face and her stunned expression, Jiang Xiaoguo's resentment vanished, and she whispered to comfort her, "Liang Shuang, are you alright? It's not worth it for such a scumbag."
Liang Shuang raised her head, forced a smile, and raised her chin as if she didn't care.
"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me? It's just Chen Zhuo, what kind of man can't I find?"
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "That's right, Liang Shuang. With your looks and those long legs, you're definitely a school beauty. What kind of man can't you find? Why hang yourself on Chen Zhuo?"
"In my opinion, this is a good thing for you. You've seen through the true colors of that scumbag, abandoned that bad tree, and gained a whole forest. Isn't that great!"
Liang Shuang glared at her: "Jiang Xiaoguo, I know you're trying to comfort me, but can you watch your words? I don't need this kind of pointless comfort."
"What do you mean by giving up one tree to gain the whole forest? I'm not a jerk. Can't you be a little more rational?"
Jiang Xiaoguo was stunned. She had tried to comfort her but ended up comforting the wrong person, and she was secretly angry. No wonder she was cheated on; with that awful temper, apart from those scumbags who had ulterior motives and wanted to cheat on her, what man could stand her?
Liang Shuang didn't care what others thought of her at that moment. She also lost her appetite.
She stood up, picked up her bag, and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. You guys enjoy your meal!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo and the others to speak, she pushed open the door of the private room, and walked away in her high heels.
The group exchanged glances, and Duan Jiabao said, "Liang Shuang's mental fortitude is amazing. She's fine. If I were in that situation, I would definitely burst into tears."
Luo Yan said, "Do you think everyone is as fragile as you? She's Liang Shuang, for good reason. She's sharp-tongued and hard-hearted."
Duan Jiabao said, "But she was cheated on. No matter how sharp-tongued and hard-hearted she is, she must be very sad to encounter something like this. After all, they used to be so loving! Liang Shuang always bragged in front of us about how great Chen Zhuo was."
Luo Yan said, "We don't need to worry about her. She's Liang Shuang. With her pretty face and long legs, she has plenty of suitors. She might have a new boyfriend soon and forget about Chen Zhuo."
Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao nodded in agreement. With Liang Shuang's looks, they really didn't need to worry about her. Maybe by the time she had a new boyfriend, they'd still be single!
After the dinner, Li Mu said goodbye to the others and returned to the company. Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Duan Jiabao exchanged glances, not really in the mood for shopping, and went back to school together.
Back in the dormitory, as expected, Liang Shuang was not there.
Duan Jiabao asked, "Xiao Guo, where did Liang Shuang go?"
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Where else could they have gone? If they're not in the dorm, they must have gone to settle scores with Golf."
"Ah! She's going to settle scores with Golf!" Duan Jiabao exclaimed in surprise. "I thought the truth had been revealed and she would never see Golf again! She's so carefree, she actually went to see Golf!"
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "It's not Liang Shuang's fault, so why can't we see her! As the victim, we should at least find out the cause and effect of the matter."
Duan Jiabao said, "It's only because you and Liang Shuang are bold that I have the guts. If I were in their shoes, even if the other party was at fault, I wouldn't have the guts to go and demand an explanation."
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "It's not that you're timid, it's that your parents have protected you too much and you haven't been tempered by society. Why can't you seek justice for other people's mistakes?"
Duan Jiabao nodded. She understood her own personality flaws. For example, the time when Jiang Xiaoguo asked Wang Wei for money, it was so troublesome and embarrassing, but she would simply avoid it.
And that's exactly what she did. The time she accompanied Xiaoguo to collect the debt, when she saw that things were getting a bit too big, she couldn't handle it anymore and just wanted to drag Jiang Xiaoguo away.
As the party in the right, they were made to act as if they had done something wrong.
Duan Jiabao worriedly said, "Liang Shuang and Golf are definitely going to have a falling out this time. Do you think Golf will be so angry and bully Liang Shuang after being exposed?"
Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated and said, "Really? It's good enough that she doesn't bully others, who could possibly bully her!"
Luo Yan interjected, "It's hard to say. Liang Shuang has such a bad temper and is very arrogant. She's not one to suffer a loss. There's bound to be a conflict between the two of them this time they meet."
"If Golf hadn't been exposed, he would still have designs on Liang Shuang and want to maintain their relationship, so he would naturally have given in to her; but now that Liang Shuang has exposed him, and Golf knows their relationship is over, would he still have given in to her?"
"Given Liang Shuang's spoiled temperament, it's really hard to say what will happen."
Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao exchanged a glance.
"What should we do then? Should we call Liang Shuang to remind her, so that we don't suffer losses in the event of a conflict?"
Luo Yan said, "It's no use. Our dinner today was all for her. We wanted to let her know about Chen Zhuo's affair in the most tactful way possible, and minimize the damage. But look what happened!"
"The three of us got roasted by her. We were just trying to help her, but we ended up feeling really angry."
"Do you think Liang Shuang will listen to this reminder call? She's in a bad mood right now and wants to vent her anger on someone. She might end up getting scolded instead."
Duan Jiabao hesitated and said, "Then, shall we just leave it at that?"
Luo Yan said, "Never mind! We've already worried enough about her."
"Besides, Liang Shuang and Golf broke up, so she definitely won't be moving out. She'll have to stay in the dormitory for the rest of the time. You all know her temper, so we'll all be stuck being bossed around by her and won't be able to turn things around."
"Liang Shuang, even if she gets into a conflict with the golf club this time, she won't suffer any major losses. Don't you guys think it's a good opportunity to teach Liang Shuang a lesson and curb her bad temper?"
"At least for the next six months or so, we can have a more peaceful time."
Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao thought about it and nodded in deep agreement. Luo Yan had spoken to their hearts.
Since that's how it is, the group ended the topic and went about their own business.
After a while, Duan Jiabao suddenly screamed, startling Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan.
"Dabao, what's wrong?"
Duan Jiabao said with a long face, "I was rejected by the agency."
Jiang Xiaoguo comforted her, "It's okay, if this company isn't good, we can find another agency."
Duan Jiabao said, "But I'll never see my little Lulu again! Xiaoguo, can you help me think of a way?"
Jiang Xiaoguo was defeated by her powerful reasoning.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Do you know why they rejected you? Finding a job, like doing anything else, requires perseverance. If you know the reason, you can try again."
Duan Jiabao shook his head and said, "I don't know. My resume was prepared very well, and our school has a good reputation. Who knows why it didn't pass!"
Jiang Xiaoguo was silent for a moment: "Why don't you call this agency and ask them why they rejected you?"
"With your resume, getting into a talent agency like this shouldn't be a problem. At the very least, they wouldn't give you no chance at all and just reject you outright."
Duan Jiabao hesitated and said, "I...I can't. I don't know how to ask. They've already refused, and I'm too embarrassed to call back."
Jiang Xiaoguo shook her head and said, "Forget it, I can't rely on you. You call, and I'll ask for you!"
"Really?" Duan Jiabao asked excitedly.
“Really!” Jiang Xiaoguo said, “Once we get through, I’ll ask them what’s wrong with your resume and I’ll help you revise it. I’ll also teach you a few interview tips! I guarantee you won’t have any problems with your next job application.”
"Xiao Guo, you're so kind." Duan Jiabao said, hugging Jiang Xiaoguo and dialing the agency's number.
After a few beeps, the call was connected.
"Hello, hello!"
Duan Jiabao immediately handed the phone to Jiang Xiaoguo, as if the phone had become a venomous snake or a ferocious beast.
Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at her helplessly, silently took the phone, and spoke in a high-pitched voice to the person on the other end of the line: "Hello, this is Duan Jiabao who submitted my resume to you. I would like to ask if there is anything lacking in my resume, or what aspects do I not meet your standards? I was rejected in the first round."
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, I remember now, I recall your resume. We discussed it before deciding to reject you."
"Why?" Jiang Xiaoguo asked curiously. She was genuinely curious; Duan Jiabao's resume wasn't bad, it was impossible for him to fail in the first round. Moreover, to need to discuss the matter after rejecting a resume seemed like making a mountain out of a molehill.
