Chapter 831: Did He Eat Monk Tang’s Meat?
"Shang Qing, although we haven’t known each other for long, I’ve always considered you my best friend. I don’t want you to associate with him, not because of the grudges between us, but because his character is not good. He’s someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and his experiences and life are unimaginable to you..." Gu Qiaoqiao attempted to offer a simple explanation.
"Qiaoqiao, I understand what you mean, but since I invited him today, it’s a bit awkward to just drive him away," Shang Qing replied honestly rather than insincerely.
Gu Qiaoqiao reached out, pinched Shang Qing’s cheek, and said with a smile, "I know you’re kind-hearted, and seeing others embarrassed doesn’t make you feel good, especially with someone like Dongfang Yu."
"You’re not a child anymore; you’ll be a junior this fall and graduate in a year, so I don’t have the right to teach you what to do..."
"That’s not it, Qiaoqiao," Shang Qing quickly shook her head, "I didn’t mean that. Although we’re of similar age, I feel you understand a lot more than I do, and I enjoy listening to you talk..."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Shang Qing, her clear eyes slightly shifting, her voice softening, "How about this, Shang Qing, just treat him as a normal friend."
Shang Qing glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, hesitated, and whispered, "He was just a normal friend to begin with."
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Shang Qing thoughtfully, paused for a moment, and then quietly said, "In that case, I’m relieved."
The stone in Shang Qing’s heart quietly settled into a corner.
She looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, somewhat curious, and asked, "Qiaoqiao, has Dongfang Yu really lived a long time?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, he’s lived for a very long time."
"But how did he do it?" Shang Qing asked in surprise, wide-eyed, a story no one would believe, continuing to joke, "Did he eat Monk Tang’s meat?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Shang Qing and said very seriously, "Even if he hasn’t eaten Monk Tang’s meat, what he has today is the result of seizure and plunder."
