"Fangfang."

"Ah? What did you say?" After leaving the cafe, Zhou Fangfang was trapped in her thoughts, and she was in a daze. She really didn't hear clearly what Duanmu Xiu said to her.

"Hey, I'll say you..."

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused." Zhou Fangfang knew what Duanmu Xiu wanted to say, and interrupted her without waiting for her to finish.

"Don't think too much, I don't mean to blame you."

"I know."

"Who are we with each other? We are good friends. I know that you are unhappy. Especially today, I still lose such a big face in front of her. I will feel strange if you don't have any thoughts in your heart."

As for the day when Duanmu Xiu knew that Zhou Fangfang had a crush on Mu Qichen, although she had not inquired or understood Gu Xiuying in secret, she also pestered Zhou Fangfang and took her to secretly see Gu Xiuying.

I have to say that Gu Xiuying was not seen by Duanmu Xiu at that time. At that time, I just thought that looking at Gu Xiuying at one glance would be very eye-catching.

Even though she was as old as the flower bud, she just dressed up her mature, beautiful, charming and charming style, and didn't look at whether the style was suitable for her. Her thick makeup made her look look more than ten years older.

Not only that, at that time, Gu Xiuying's reputation in the upper reaches of the imperial capital was as bad as it would be. Adults from any family were unhappy to let their children be with Gu Xiuying, for fear that their children would be damaged by Gu Xiuying.

But who made Gu Xiuying's life better? Not to mention how much ability the Gu family has, it is just for the Mu family that protects Gu Xiuying like pearls and treasures. As long as there is no brain damage and the IQ is still online, no one will cause trouble for Gu Xiuying.

After all, such an infamous and brainless girl poses no threat to them at all, so what qualifications do you have to be taken seriously?

After meeting Gu Xiuying two or three times, Duanmu Xiu was like most people who were curious about Gu Xiuying. If anyone cared about such a girl who had no appearance and no brains, it would be a waste of time if she cared about her.

So Duanmu Xiu no longer went to explore whether Gu Xiuying's face hidden under heavy makeup looks good or bad. She didn't have so much free time to pay attention to her and pay attention to her.

But Duanmu Xiu never expected that after taking off her heavy makeup and changing out those clothes that looked mature but were not suitable for Gu Xiuying to wear, her temperament was so beautiful and pure, and her face was even more beautiful and beautiful.

If she had to face such a stunningly beautiful face every day, Duanmu Xiu would have thought that she would have tried every means to destroy it.

"It's my fault if I say it. If I didn't chase you and play, you wouldn't be unlucky to bump into her." Although the Duanmu family is rich, they are not the richest in the imperial capital. Duanmu Xiu has been accustomed to observing words and expressions, talking to others when he remembers it. Therefore, she can only be in the Duanmu family, and she is highly valued by the elders in the family and has a certain right to speak.

She can stand out among the many daughters of the Duanmu family, and she has a good personal relationship with Zhou Fangfang. After all, compared to having money, they still want to have power.

Therefore, Duanmu Xiu and Zhou Fangfang are close friends, and they are also concerned about each other, but no matter whether they first met and have been in contact, Duanmu Xiu has more or less used Zhou Fangfang.

Duanmu Xiu always felt ashamed of Zhou Fangfang, so she was willing to spend time holding Zhou Fangfang, and promised to do it so that Zhou Fangfang could not see anything.

"How can you blame you? If you blame me, I will blame myself for not seeing the way."

"Don't be unhappy, I'll invite you to hot pot. Let's have a little spicy food. When you're full and drink enough, you'll have nothing to do, okay?"

"I have no appetite, otherwise..." Zhou Fangfang once told herself more than once that she should let go of Mu Qichen completely, and she would never get close to Mu Qichen's world, just pretending that she had never known Mu Qichen before.

For this reason, both her and her family made a lot of efforts, and the connection between her and Mu Qichen was lost, and she also kept her promise and never stepped into the Mu family's door again.

Unexpectedly, the explosion of rumors in the military region pushed Mu Qichen to the forefront, and she was also pushed to the forefront.

After learning about the rumors, my grandfather immediately took her to the field camp of the 6th Army of S Brigade, and asked her to stand out to clarify the rumors in person. It can also be said that she opened a piece of her "fig leaf" in public, revealing her heart in front of others.

At that moment, she was both embarrassed, aggrieved and very angry, but there was no other way, that was the only way in front of her.

She can't do it if she doesn't leave.

It was also after that day that Zhou Fangfang suddenly didn't want to see Mu Qichen again, and she absolutely didn't want to meet Gu Xiuying again. It's a pity that God wants to do something. Perhaps the more you don't want to see people in this world, the more you will see people. The more you don't want to meet people, the more you will meet people. Whether you want to escape or you can't escape.

"Fangfang, I will tell you that you promised me that all your time today belongs to me, and you cannot regret it."

"..." Zhou Fangfang rolled her eyes and turned over to Duanmu Xiu. She hadn't finished speaking yet. Why did she regret her?

"You are going to accompany me to watch the shops on this street. I don't allow you to escape in the last battle, do you understand?"

"I didn't want to escape."

"That's about the same."

"It's almost twelve o'clock, let's go to have a meal first, and then I'll accompany you to see the shop?"

"Listen to you."

Seeing that Duanmu Xiu finally stopped catching her, Zhou Fangfang said again: "Xiuxiu, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

"No, no, you are here to accompany me today. I'm here to treat you. You are not allowed to be so polite to me."

"Okay, please." Just a meal, Zhou Fangfang didn't plan to fight with Duanmu Xiu on the street, and neither of them needed the money for that meal.

"There is a hot pot restaurant in front of you. Let's go eat hot pot." Duanmu Xiu is such a smart woman. She can't tell that Zhou Fangfang is deliberately changing the topic. As a good sister, she still has the heart to sprinkle salt on her wounds.

Since she didn't want to mention Mu Qichen or Gu Xiuying, she should take care of her own mouth.

"Um."

Duanmu Xiu held Zhou Fangfang's hand and the two found a hot pot restaurant nearby, and ordered a large table of dishes. Not to mention that the two women couldn't finish eating, they could even add four or five more dishes.

"Uh...that seems to be a little too much."

"Why don't you ask if your friends are nearby? Call them to come and eat together?" Zhou Fangfang was a little stunned when she saw the big table in front of her. She only ordered so much before, and she ordered so much without realizing it. Although she had never suffered any hardships since she was born, she wasted food, but wasting food is absolutely not allowed in her family.

"This... I'll ask first, Fangfang, you'll ask your friends too." Whether it's waste or not, for Duanmu Xiu, it's fine if you can't finish these dishes on the table, their family doesn't lack this at all.

But after all, she and Zhou Fangfang have been friends for many years, and they also followed Zhou Fangfang to the Zhou family for dinner. Therefore, Duanmu Xiu could not remember some of the rules set by Mr. Zhou.

"Okay." Zhou Fangfang had been in the army before, and she had no real friends with her. Speaking of which, except Duanmu Xiu, the rest were just ordinary friends.

Both of them called each other, but no one could call a friend. In the end, there was no way, Zhou Fangfang bit her lip and said, "Let's eat first, count as much as you can. If you haven't finished eating, let the waiter pack it. I'll take it home later."

“Wouldn’t this be bad?”

"It doesn't matter. We don't move what we can't eat. It's still good to pack it back. The aunt at home can still eat it after a little work."

"Oh well."

"Let's have a meal quickly. I really hope your studio will open soon."

"I hope my personal jewelry design studio will be tomorrow... no no, no, tomorrow is too unrealistic. I will be satisfied if I can open it at the end of this month or early next month."

Duanmu Xiu has loved jewelry design since she was a child, and she is also very talented in this regard. During her study abroad, she also won many awards in participating in various jewelry design competitions. After returning to China, she did not choose to work as a designer in her own company, but decided to open a studio that belongs to her.

It's a blessing that she is good at speaking and I don't know how she talks to her family. In short, she got what she wants in the end.

"I believe in your ability."

"Haha, I also believe in my ability. When my studio opens, Fangfang, you have to cooperate with me."

"That's natural." Zhou Fangfang's fashion design studio has become well-known in China after nearly two years of exhibition. She and Duanmu Xiu are both designing, so naturally there is no opportunity to cooperate.

"Fangfang, I thought about it and thought that there was something I still want to ask you, otherwise I will always be in mind. Don't be angry when you hear it, I'm the same..."

"I know what you want to say." Zhou Fangfang interrupted Duanmu Xiu, and it was really hard for her to endure it for so long before she could speak.

"Uh...you know everything?"

"Um."

"Then..." After a pause, Duanmu Xiu gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Fangfang, do you really not let go of that person? You can't let go of that person now, and you can't let go of it in the future?"

She knew who that person was referring to, and Zhou Fangfang also knew.

"Xiuxiu, it's impossible for me and him."

"you......"

"I begged him so humbly, and my family forced him so hard, he didn't let go, and he even asked him..." Zhou Fangfang didn't say anything, but changed his statement, "He would rather pay a huge price to repay my life-saving grace than accept that I became his wife, even if there is no relationship between them and only one Mrs. Mu's title, he wouldn't want to. What else do you think I can ask for in him?"

This was the first time Duanmu Xiu heard these words from Zhou Fangfang, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"I have hurt my family too many times for him, so I will never be so willful in the future, so there is no possibility for me and him. I give up." What if I don't give up?

If Mu Qichen couldn't see her in his eyes, then she would be nothing.

"As for Gu Xiuying, whether she is good or bad, no matter what she looks like, she is Mu Qichen's favorite appearance. People cannot compare with each other. In Mu Qichen's eyes, I have no comparison with her."

Duanmu Xiu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she found that she really had nothing to say. Do you belittle Gu Xiuying?

Looking back on Gu Xiuying she met twice in the last few days, she really couldn't say anything against her will.

"Whenever Mu Qichen has a little meaning to me, I also have the courage to compete, but he doesn't mean anything to me. What do you think I can compete for? What's more, Gu Xiuying is so outstanding now. Even though I think I am very good, once I am compared with her, I'm afraid I'm not as good as her!" Zhou Fangfang's tone was full of self-deprecating.

"Fangfang."

"I'm fine, but I feel much more happy after I say it."

"That's good."

"Don't talk about me, and don't talk about them. I will never break into their world again."

"It's good that you can think about it. There are so many men in this world, and your conditions are so good that you can hang yourself from a crooked tree."

"Yes, you're right."

"Come on, let's have a drink."

"Um."

"Give it, I'll pick it up for you if you like it."

"You eat too."

......

Zhou Fangfang and Duanmu Xiu had a big meal at the hot pot restaurant and went to see the right shop. Gu Xiuying drove away from the cafe alone, but she didn't expect that it would take less than ten minutes to drive on the road. She was driving straight and was hit by a silver car that was driving in the opposite direction.
