Chapter 458: Fighting Together to Distinguish Loyalty and Treachery
After Finn left, Xu Weiwei turned to look at her three roommates and apologized, "I didn't take good care of you tonight. How are you? Did anything happen?"
"No, just eating, drinking and watching shows. What's the big deal? There are gifts for us to take when we leave." Li Yan said, holding up his handbag.
"That's good. I'll ask the driver to take you back."
Walking outside, Wang Jingyi exclaimed, "What a heavy snow! So beautiful! The ground is all white."
"With such heavy snow, the roads might have frozen." Su Mang looked up at the sky and said worriedly.
Kane's eyes turned sharp, and before his sister could speak, he said, "Yes, driving is not very safe. Hey - drive the 'Lightning 7' out of the garage and take the three ladies at the door home."
Soon, a silver-white shuttle with a cool shape stopped in front of everyone, and the airflow blew up the snow on the ground and disturbed the snowflakes in the air. Anyone who saw this appearance would praise it as "cool".
The three were so shocked that they were speechless.
Kane looked down at Xu Weiwei and hinted, "It's so windy outside, so cold."
Xu Weiwei's hands and feet were cold at this moment. She stamped her feet and said to the three of them, "Then let's go in first. See you next week."
"Yeah! Bye~see you next week."
"Go back quickly."
"Let's go..."
The party lasted for about four hours. By the time Xu Weiwei finished her shower and removed her makeup, it was already half past ten.
She wanted to go to bed, but she was too hungry to ignore it, so she decided to go downstairs to see if there was anything else to eat and just have a quick bite.
She hardly ate anything tonight, as there were always people around her and she had no time to spare.
When she got downstairs, Xu Weiwei was surprised to see that everyone except her was sitting together, with serious expressions, as if they were discussing something important. So she walked over curiously.
"What are you doing? Why didn't you call me?"
The old lady took her hand and asked her to sit next to her: "The boss was going to call you, but I was afraid that you had already fallen asleep, so I didn't let him go. Now is the perfect time. It's about you anyway."
"It's related to me?" Xu Weiwei picked up a piece of beef and put it into her mouth, chewing it and looking at them curiously.
"Yes, your friend. You'd better have less contact with him in the future." The old lady said bluntly.
Xu Weiwei paused while chewing and asked in surprise, "Which one?"
"The one who always follows you around and steals the show!" The old lady is still very annoyed when she talks about it now.
"what?!"
"The one who has always been by my side...Are you talking about Su Mang?"
"I don't know her name, but she has an oval face, a pointy chin, and big curly hair."
Xu Weiwei was now certain that the person her grandmother was talking about was Su Mang. Li Yan had short hair, and Wang Jingyi had a ponytail. Only Su Mang met the description, except...
"Did she make you angry in any way? Why do you have a problem with her?" Xu Weiwei asked cautiously.
"Are you stupid?" The old lady poked her forehead with gritted teeth. "We all saw it, but you are the only one who is kept in the dark!"
"What did you see?" Xu Weiwei scratched his head anxiously.
"She is using you and stealing your limelight. She doesn't really consider you as a friend. She just wants to use you as a rope to climb up." Kane said in one breath and then glanced at his sister's reaction, worried that she would be sad.
Unexpectedly, after Xu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, he actually laughed.
"Haha! How could you think that? How could she steal my limelight? She even disappeared afterwards. The same goes for Li Yan and Jing Yi. Except when they first came, I didn't know where they were."
In Xu Weiwei's impression, stealing the limelight means dressing in an exaggerated and flashy manner, and doing something eye-catching in public to attract attention.
There was nothing abnormal about Su Mang's behavior. The only thing worth mentioning was that someone splashed wine all over her. But that had nothing to do with her.
Several people covered their foreheads with their hands, their faces showing pain. Ryan even jumped up and pointed at Xu Weiwei and said, "You are not my sister! My sister is not that stupid! Robot undercover, I want to dig out your energy board!"
Xu Weiwei: “…”
"Su Mang is a really nice person. When I'm not around, she often helps me clean and pick up the trash. She's very enthusiastic. She's also the monitor of our class. She's very responsible and everyone in the group will ask her about big and small matters."
"By the way, she also works part-time to earn money for her studies. When she doesn't have classes, she goes out to do part-time jobs. In short, she is a gentle, kind, and capable person." Xu Weiwei spoke seriously for Su Mang.
She really didn't think that the other party did anything wrong tonight that would warrant such dissatisfaction from the whole family.
Mrs. Seaforth couldn't help but say, "She stuck to you all the time at the beginning, because she knew that others would come to talk to you, so she took the opportunity to get to know you. If you are shy, wouldn't it be better to stay in a corner where no one is? Li Yan and your other roommate are also here. Why don't you stay with your own small group? She has to squeeze in next to you who is the most popular. Is she really afraid or just pretending to be afraid?"
Xu Weiwei was speechless. After thinking for a few seconds, she hesitated and said, "But she is very quiet around me and doesn't show off. She only responds when someone talks to her."
"This is exactly the effect she wants! How cheap it is to rush to help? She acts mysteriously and elevates her status next to you, so that others will chat with her even for your sake. This is called retreating to advance! You should be more careful! You only have IQ but no EQ, and her mind is worth eight of yours!" The old lady slapped her thigh and said indignantly.
"Grandma, have tea, have tea!"
Xu Weiwei stroked the old man's back and said, "Then why doesn't she stick to me from behind?"
"Humph! She wants to stick to me, but can she get out?"
It only took Xu Weiwei two seconds to go from being confused to figuring out the truth. She asked in surprise, "Did you have someone spill the wine?!"
"Yes, I can't bear to see her sucking your blood like a parasite. Will she behave herself if I do this?"
Xu opened her mouth slightly, but swallowed her words back. She looked unhappy. She sat there with her head down and said nothing, and it was obvious that she was sulking.
"Why didn't you listen to me after all I said? Bao'er, you believe in grandma..."
"I bet that woman is definitely not a good person!"
……
Of course Xu Weiwei knew that her family was doing this for her own good, but she had been with her classmate for such a long time and she had never done anything wrong. It was a bit far-fetched to ask her to change her opinion of someone based on just one night and a few guesses.
Ryan sighed: "Where does your trust in her come from? Is it just based on the few times you spent together and the little favor she did for you?"
Xu Weiwei stared at her second brother in a daze.
"I don't quite understand." Ryan supported his temple, "If this can impress you, why are you wary of Fast?"
"Why don't you believe that Fast really likes you and is pursuing you, but instead think that he has other intentions?"
"Because my brother said..."
"We told you to stay away from him, and you listened. So what's different about this situation? Why don't you want to believe what your brothers say?"
There was obvious confusion in Ryan's glassy eyes.
Xu Weiwei stood there in a daze, unable to speak.
