Of course she knows.
It's just that she never tried to understand these things at all. She always put herself in a higher position and thought that if she took the initiative to learn this information, she would be lowering her status.
Elena seemed to know what she was thinking, and patted her shoulder: "Forget it, just know it's her."
Haitong's face turned blue, red, and white, but she felt so angry inside that she had no place to vent.
It was as if the person she had always hated had played her around, and she only knew the truth in the end.
That feeling is more painful than knowing the truth directly.
How could she lose to the other party and embarrass herself by showing weakness in front of him
When Haitong thought about how she had apologized to Qiao Nian that night, the depressed mood she felt was difficult to describe in words.
The elevator quickly reached the floor where Elena lived.
After she swiped her card to enter the room, she placed the person who had been silent all the way in the living room and said to her, "My friend is here. I'll go downstairs to meet him first. You wait here for a while."
Haitong didn't react much. She sat there with an indescribable expression, still immersed in what happened that night. She didn't even listen to what Elena said to her.
"Ah, go ahead."
"Ok, then wait for me in the room for a while, I'll be back as soon as possible."
"… "
Haitong didn't answer either, as if she was completely immersed in her own world.
Elena ignored her, took the room card and left the room.
…
Shadow didn't wait long before he saw the elevator door open again, and the person he had been waiting for for more than an hour walked out of the elevator leisurely. He called the waiter and ordered another cup of coffee.
When the waiter brought the coffee, the other person happened to be sitting on the chair opposite him. He took the initiative to pick up the coffee cup and took a sip of water, and said to him: "Latte without sugar is my favorite flavor. Thank you."
After she finished speaking, she naturally leaned back, stared at the shadow, and asked, "What does the Queen want to see me about?"
Shadow looked at her attitude which was both polite and impolite, and knew in his heart that they needed to rely on her for help with the affairs of Continent F.
So he put away his usual arrogance, bowed his head slightly to show his humility and said to Elena: "I am here to find Miss Elena at the request of the Queen. I want to ask you for a favor."
Elena bent down slightly and picked up the coffee cup on the table, then took another sip slowly before raising her eyelids: “You say.”
Shadow couldn't figure out her attitude. After a moment's silence, he told her everything about Continent F.
Elena listened to him quietly.
Then he tapped his coffee cup lightly and concluded, "So the Queen wants me to get involved in your family affairs."
Shadow knew how important Elena's support was to Nie Qingru, so he was inevitably a little anxious: "Ms. Elena, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? You and the Queen have the same goal, and only cooperation can lead to a win-win situation!"
"Oh?" Elena looked at him unmoved, her eyes sharp: "How can you be sure that our goals are the same."
Shadow was about to speak.
But she nonchalantly took the lead: "Are you trying to say that our families are interested in a marriage, so I must deal with the 'rival'?"
“…” The shadow was silent.
Elena smiled softly: "I think the Queen is wrong. Marriage is not love. I haven't met my future husband yet, so there is no question of me being jealous of him with a strange girl..."
