"A gift?" Han Xuan was stunned when she heard this, "What gift?"
"A gift that can make her happy. - Maybe." Lorraine said with a smile to Han Xuan on the other side of the phone.
Han Xuan pondered for a moment. Although she wasn't sure what gift Lorraine was talking about that would make Kang Mengmeng happy, he was at least thinking about it.
For Han Xuan, Kang Mengmeng is a very important sister and best friend. She can let Lorraine worry about her. No matter what the reason is, she will be more or less grateful. After all, it was Han Xuan who told Lorraine before about Kang Mengmeng's tragic and lonely childhood, as well as the meaning of the seemingly ordinary SpongeBob doll.
"Lorraine, thank you." Han Xuan said sincerely.
Lorraine smiled. He found that Han Xuan had a good personality, really good. The more he got in touch with her, the more he found that she had no airs.
Maybe Han Xuan's cold and arrogant appearance is just her normal state, and she is actually kind-hearted, right? Lorraine's preconceived impression was that Han Xuan was an inhumane and even somewhat narcissistic woman. It was probably from the impression of her previous life, right
"You're welcome. You said it. We will be friends from now on."
"Yeah." Han Xuan hummed softly and stopped talking.
Lorraine felt there was a slight silence on the phone, so she didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she asked casually: "By the way, are there any cooking raw materials in the apartment? For example, vegetables, raw meat, etc."
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment and replied: "Oh, I went to the supermarket to buy some things last time, but it was mostly toast and some cooking seasonings. There were some eggs and vegetables, but not raw meat or anything like that. ."
Thinking of Han Xuan's appearance that she couldn't even fry a poached egg, Lorraine understood. It happened that she hadn't cooked for a long time. After renting an apartment, she hadn't started a meal yet, so she went to buy some things and cook some. Listening to the pleasantries, Kang Mengmeng seems unwilling to get out of bed to eat? Last time Kang Mengmeng was wronged and ran away, it was more or less for her own reasons. Let's make a meal and make a small apology.
In fact, right or wrong is really not that important. People are not saints, so who can have no faults? Besides, there was some reason why Kang Mengmeng got emotional last time.
"Well, you haven't eaten either, right?"
Han Xuan didn't know what Lorraine meant by asking this, and said directly: "Well... I haven't eaten yet. I'll eat it after I coax Mengmeng out of bed. She hasn't eaten all day, and I can't eat it."
"Well, well, let's just say this first. I'll go back in a moment. I hope the gift I prepared can make her happy."
Lorraine said, hung up the phone, and walked towards a large supermarket not far from the school.
Lorraine doesn't like shopping very much, but he likes to hang out in supermarkets. Mainly because this pleasant environment makes him feel at ease. The background music played in the supermarket sounds very melodious and can make people forget. Get rid of some fatigue and worries.
After purchasing a lot of cooking ingredients, Lorraine walked out of the supermarket.
"Jingle Bell-"
On the way back to the apartment, Lorraine suddenly heard the ringtone of her cell phone in her pocket. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was Kang Shaojie's call.
Frowning slightly, he guessed that Kang Shaojie knew what happened to his precious sister Kang Mengmeng last night and called him, right? With Kang Shaojie's hands and eyes, it was not difficult at all to know what happened to his sister last night.
"Hey, Shaojie, what's going on?" Lorraine answered the phone and said naturally and nonchalantly.
"Lorraine, thank you." A serious thank you came from the phone.
"... Shaojie, do you know what I want to say now?" Lorraine pondered briefly, and then said with no emotion in his voice.
"What?"
"Go to hell." Lorraine said a very hypocritical word.
"...No, I really thank you. What happened to Mengmeng last night, if it weren't for you..."
"Okay, okay, if you keep talking, I'll hang up the phone." Lorraine scolded with a smile, "I've said it all, don't be so particular about friends. I saw your sister was in danger last night, so you can't just ignore her. Right? To be honest, even if it is other girls, I will not stand by and watch. This is my principle. "
"Well, I know what kind of person you are. Anyway, I, Kang Shaojie, feel very lucky to have you as my friend."
"Haha, how about I say that I am lucky to know you, a rich second generation? You also gave me a free duplex loft-style apartment to live in. I am the one who should say thank you, right?"
When Kang Shaojie heard this, he laughed on the phone and stopped talking on this topic. Conversations between friends should be stopped as soon as they are good. If you talk too much, it will look very polite and petty.
"Is school over? Where are you going? If it's okay, let's go out for a drink?" When Kang Shaojie was talking, it seemed very quiet over there. It was obvious that Kang Shaojie was not very idle and should be in an office.
"Okay, let's talk about it later when you are not busy. Anyway, sooner or later I have to ask you to treat me to a feast. Just don't try to avoid me next time."
When Kang Shaojie heard these words, he knew that Lorraine was considerate of his busy schedule, and he felt a little moved in his heart again. In fact, a man with Kang Shaojie's background and status is not easily moved, but he feels very lucky to have a friend like Lorraine.
Lorraine has an irresistible personality charm, which is not inferior to Kang Shaojie at all. However, Kang Shaojie knows very well that this is because Lorraine has not yet let go of his hands and feet to do something big. If Lorraine also goes into the business world in the future, I am afraid that he will be a very powerful opponent of Kang Shaojie. Of course, he, Kang Shaojie, wanted to work with Lorraine more.
"Lorraine, let me ask you something." Kang Shaojie said very casually, "Can I ask, what is your family environment like? In other words, what is your family background? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious. There is no other meaning. Of course, if you are unwilling to tell me, I will not force you. Even among friends, it is normal to have their own secrets. "
Lorraine paused slightly when she heard Kang Shaojie suddenly asked these words.
It could be heard from Kang Shaojie's voice that he was already a little doubtful of himself, or that he felt that his life experience was not that simple? No, I'm very low-key. Doesn't everything about me look like an ordinary working-class person
Hey, I can’t even keep a low profile, it’s really a headache.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I feel that the time hasn't come yet." Lorraine thought for a while, and decided to put a stop to it first. After all, Kang Shaojie is a member of the Kang family among the four wealthy families, and he doesn't want to let the members of his Luo family Only when the background surfaces so early and is hidden under the water can we move forward and attack with ease and retreat and defend. It's not that she doesn't believe Kang Shaojie, but Lorraine always remembers the saying that walls have ears.
The Rock Group has just entered Yanjing City and is not yet stable. After all, I am also the eldest son of the Rock Group, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"I can only say... My family background is definitely not as strong as you guessed. Our family is not native to Yanjing City, and we have no background in Yanjing City. Don't place high hopes, otherwise, you will be disappointed. ."
Kang Shaojie was silent for a moment: "Well, if you can talk to this point, you already believe me. But... if your family is doing business and wants to develop in Yanjing, you must tell me as soon as possible. If you can afford it, Our Kang family's influence in Yanjing City can cooperate with me, Kang Shaojie. This is not to help, but that I admire you very much and want to cooperate with you."
"Haha, cooperate with me. I'm only a freshman now. It's early... But if there is a chance, I will definitely come to you." Lorraine smiled and said firmly.
"Hmm. -Are you going back to the apartment now?"
"Yeah." Lorraine looked at the big and small bags on her body and the SpongeBob doll, and smiled mysteriously: "Girls, you have to coax them well. If they are unhappy, you have to make them happy. It seems that I am quite suitable to be a nanny.”
Kang Shaojie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said seriously: "Mengmeng, this little girl, has a bad temper, but she has a good heart. Brother, please be more patient with me in the future." She doesn't even listen to what Brother Dang says. When I am free one day, I will go to the apartment to see her. You must be there when the time comes. She doesn't know about our friendship yet."
Hearing Kang Shaojie's words, Lorraine thought: Hey, hey, buddy, why are you telling me so much? Are you looking for a brother-in-law? But don't take it seriously, I have no idea at all.
Hang up now, hang up now! If he continues talking, maybe Kang Shaojie will say something sensational again.
"What about that, Shaojie, let's not talk anymore. Hang up. We'll talk about it later."
"See you."
When she hung up the phone, Lorraine had already reached the door of the garden in front of her house, but when she lowered her head and looked at the SpongeBob doll in her handbag, Lorraine pondered thoughtfully. After a while, he raised his head and saw a cake shop not far away called "Sweetie's Cake Shop". An idea came to his mind and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Mengmeng, listen to sister, get out of bed and eat something. You haven't eaten anything all day. What should you do if you are starving?" In Kang Mengmeng's bedroom in the apartment, Han Xuan said to her in a gentle tone** Kang Mengmeng, who looked depressed, coaxed.
"Sister... you go and eat, I really can't eat..."
Kang Mengmeng leaned on the bedside. The swelling on her face had gradually dissipated, but there were still some marks. The scene last night made her feel like she had a nightmare. Fortunately, my virginity was not taken away. Therefore, what Kang Mengmeng really felt most uncomfortable with was the last gift her mother gave her before she passed away, the SpongeBob SquarePants doll.
The scene of the laughing Spongebob shattered on the floor made her feel suffocated when she thought about it.
However, in addition, the terrifying, powerful, and mysterious figure of Lorraine that suddenly appeared in her mind kept flashing in her mind... There was always a strange and inexplicable emotion lingering in her heart. In short, the feeling in her heart now, It's like the five-flavor bottle has been knocked over, and it's hard to explain.
