Out of control and sinking

Chapter 263 Jiang Ruan is Drunk
Teasingly, Jiang Ruan gripped the steering wheel, her red lips twitching slightly: "No way, am I that sentimental? But there was definitely a surprise."

"Tsk tsk," Lu Jie said, "You're just saying one thing and meaning another."

“I saw you on a variety show. You were completely stunned, and your excitement was written all over your face. I saw your eyes were red. You were just about to rush over and hug Bo Ye.”

Jiang Ruan laughed angrily: "Am I that obvious?"

"Are those eyes even eyes? How can you see through everything?"

"I saw that the comments from netizens were pretty good, but the camera gave me a close-up shot, which was quite shocking."

Lu Jie snorted twice: "Of course my eyes aren't human eyes, they're superhuman."

"Your expression doesn't hide anything from me."

This is also a tacit understanding between the two who have been close friends for many years.

"Let's not talk about me now, let's talk about you and Lawyer Shen," Jiang Ruan said. "What's going on between you two? I've only been gone a few days? You've only seen each other for a few days? And you've already gone to a hotel?"

Lu Jie's cheeks flushed instantly: "Don't talk nonsense. It wasn't a hotel room booking. It was purely an accident. I told you that at the time."

Then, Lu Jie recounted her entire story of meeting Shen Lu, from beginning to end.

Jiang Ruan nodded: "So that means he now runs a law firm, which can be considered a small success in his career. He also broke up with Jiang Lina. He's rich, handsome, and single, so you're planning to pursue him again?"

Lu Jie nodded her little head, looking obedient, and said, "You know, Ruan Ruan, I've never liked anyone else in all these years except him."

Lu Jie sighed, "I'm helpless too. Since fate has brought us together again, I think it's destiny."

"I like him. No, I love him. It's not easy to meet him again, and I can approach him openly. I don't want to miss him again."

Jiang Ruan listened, feeling only heartache for her infatuation.

Jiang Ruan still can't understand how Lu Jie could be so infatuated with someone she only met on campus and had never gotten close to, someone who was like a bubble, like a celebrity idol.

Jiang Ruan sighed: "I hope you get what you want, and that you won't regret it later."

I have an ex-girlfriend whom I dated for four years and even went abroad with.

It's impossible to say that I never slept with him.

Lu Jie is very pretty, but she wasn't particularly outstanding in college because she didn't pay much attention to her appearance back then.

But Jiang Lina was the most popular girl in the school at the time.

Shen Lu is the school's most handsome guy.

The beautiful love story between the school beauty and the school hunk.

Everything I experienced during my youth.

Can Shen Lu really let go of everything?
Jiang Ruan was unsure of what to do.

Her relationship with Bo Ye didn't start out beautifully either; she was also jealous of Su Wan.

After all, she and Bo Ye were childhood sweethearts.

Whether it's appearance or background.

Su Wan was far more successful than her at that time.

It's impossible not to feel inferior.

But now, she can stand confidently beside Bo Ye.

So when it comes to relationships, nobody can say for sure.

After all, in this colorful world, who doesn't have a few relationships and a few exes?

Jiang Ruan and Lu Jie first went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion for dinner, and after dinner they went shopping.

Over the years, Lu Jie had long been used to spending Jiang Ruan's money, and the two of them never held back.

She considered Jiang Ruan as family, and Jiang Ruan felt the same way.

So the two of them started swiping away.

Jiang Ruan likes bright and vibrant colors.

I bought a lot of jewelry and clothes.

Lu Jie prefers low-key and gentle styles; if you didn't look at the label, you wouldn't be able to tell that it's a designer brand.

After they finished eating, they were asked to return the items to their respective owners.

Then the two headed straight to their usual spot.

I went to Shifang Tavern.

Two cases of beer, two people sitting face to face in a small private room, talking about how they left Jiangcheng, drinking and chatting.

As we talked, I couldn't help but cry when I thought about those difficult years.

Hug me and have a good cry, then keep drinking.

In the end, both of them drank too much.

The owner here knows them; she's a woman from Northeast China, very straightforward, and they don't need to worry about safety.

After drinking too much, Jiang Ruan threw a tantrum at Lu Jie, and the two made a bet. They each called Bo Ye and Shen Lu.

If someone doesn't answer, then we don't need them.

Drunk people are irrational. The two of them immediately started playing rock-paper-scissors, with Lu Jie going first.

Open your phone and find Shen Lu's profile picture.

Make a voice call.

A minute passed, and Shen Lu did not answer.

Lu Jie's lips were already pouting; she was unwilling to give up, so she hit another one.

This time, Shen Lu accepted the order.

A cold, masculine voice came through: "Hey."

Upon hearing his voice, Lu Jie became so nervous that she couldn't speak. Jiang Ruan gestured for her to speak.

Lu Jie: "Mm."

Shen Lu: "Is there something you need?"

Lu Jie: No.

Shen Lu: "Then I'll hang up now, I have a social engagement."

Lu Jie grew anxious: "Wait!"

Lu Jie bit her lip: "Lawyer Shen, may I ask you a question?"

Shen Lu: "Ask away."

Emboldened by alcohol, Lu Jie asked the question that had been on her mind the most: "Do you still have feelings for Jiang Lina?"

When asked this question, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Lu Jie's heart grew colder and colder.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Then Shen Lu's voice rang out: "Sorry, I don't want to answer this question."

That means it exists.

He still has feelings for Jiang Lina.

“Lu Jie, we’re all adults,” Shen Lu said. “Everyone has a past and experiences; isn’t that how we grow?”

Lu Jie couldn't listen. Tears streamed down her face. She bit her lip, looking somewhat disheveled. "I'll hang up now."

Then he hung up the phone.

She tossed her phone aside, turned and hugged Jiang Ruan, bursting into tears: "Waaaa, Jiang Ruan, did you hear what he said? He still has feelings for Jiang Lina, waaaaah..."

"I thought it was gone. Turns out, I was just thinking that."

"He has feelings for Jiang Lina."

Jiang Ruan heard everything.

Hugging Lu Jie, Jiang Ruan's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of drunkenness. She nodded and said, "I heard you."

"Damn it, what a jerk! Can't we just dump him?"

"I'll find you someone even more handsome, a big star, any handsome guy in the entertainment industry you can pick. If you like any of them, I'll get their contact information and I'll help you get together."

Lu Jie shook her head, crying, "I don't want it, I only want Lawyer Shen."

"Woooooooo..."

"I like him. But he doesn't like me."

“He likes Jiang Lina. He only has eyes for Jiang Lina and never for me.”

"Am I not pretty enough, Jiang Ruan? I'm insecure, that's why he'll never look at me or like me."

Lu Jie cried, and Jiang Ruan thought of her past self.

She couldn't help but cry too.

Lu Jie smeared her tears all over her body, and her tears smeared Lu Jie's body in return.

"No, don't say that."

"There is nothing good about men."

"How about we call it quits? From now on, I'll be your husband, and you'll be my wife. We'll live together."

"What kind of man do you want? Get lost!"

Jiang Ruan said through gritted teeth.

And these words were overheard by the man who had just stepped outside the door.
