371: Chapter 371: Xin’er, Don’t Cry!

Sister’s Going to Steal the Fire!

Whoosh!

Bai Fengling sent out a red packet with a special note, “Exclusive for Xin’er.”

And then…

Tang Le snatched it.

Tang Xin: “(angry angry angry)”

After a string of emojis, a message from Tang Le followed right after.

“Sorry, Xin, my hand slipped and I clicked too fast.

I’ll give it back to you right away!”

Bai Fengling laughed, “Wow!

Tang Le, your hand speed is something else!

Instant grab!”

Zhu Cui also made a comment, but it was Fang Qingya’s voice:

“Stop picking on Xin’er, I’m driving now.

What if she goes crazy on me?

Hurry up and let it rain red packets!”

Zhang Hao: “Can I snag a bit?

I lost over seven hundred tonight!”

Tang Xin: “Haizhu, go die somewhere else!

I lost one hundred and seventy thousand tonight!!!”

Hearing Tang Xin’s roar, Tang Xiao just couldn’t help but burst into laughter instantly.

During dinner, Tang Xin was the most boastful of all!

So what happened?

Don’t show off, lest lightning strikes the poser!

Their mahjong game starting from five hundred yuan per Hu was quite significant, and their stakes were uncapped too.

Just any three-fan Hu would cost four thousand.

Tang Kun had even dubbed Tang Xin the ‘Firing King,’ so it looked like she set off a lot of ‘gunguns’ tonight.

Suffering at the hands of Fang Qingya, Bai Fengling, and Tang Kun, it was normal for her to lose one hundred and seventy thousand given her bad luck.

Of course, Tang Xin’s roar had a good effect.

Sure enough, a wave of red packets started raining down in the group chat.

Just from Bai Fengling alone, there were as many as ten packets; she must have won quite a bit!

Tang Xiao didn’t speak up, nor did she snatch any red packets, just enjoying the show like a spectator.

However, Tang Xin flew off the handle again.

“What the heck!

You guys set the red packet limit wrong, didn’t you?

It should have been just for me, why does everyone in the group get a share?”

Turns out it was a lucky draw where everyone had a chance!

Tang Xiao wasn’t being polite anymore, and immediately clicked through each one.

Her luck was really good, seizing dozens of red packets brought her almost a two-thousand payday.

And this…

set Tang Xin off again.

“Big sis, you’re diving in deep waters, aren’t you!

It’s already past one in the morning, and you haven’t gone to bed with Jie yet?

Is stealing red packets that much fun?

@Tang Xiao”

Tang Xin, in her irritation, had quite the acidic tone.

Knowing full well that Wu Jie and Tang Xiao were a sham couple, she still managed to sound so sour.

Tang Kang: “Jie is the only one who didn’t grab a red packet!

Big sis, you better help Jie grab some!”

Tang Le: “Jie must be asleep by now!

He’s been staying up late for overtime, must be too tired!”

Lin Yuan: “That’s too hardcore!

Even if he’s earning money for baby formula, he doesn’t need to work so hard, right?”

Bai Fengling: “He might be asleep, but his phone isn’t, right?

President Tang, grab the red packets with Mr.

Wu’s phone!”

Zhang Hao: “Sister-in-law, hurry up!

I see there are still a lot of red packets left with big amounts remaining!”

Tang Xin: “Big sis might not know Jie’s phone password!

(smirking face)”

Zhu Cui: “No way?

Can’t the phone be unlocked with a fingerprint?

Does that mean Jie isn’t with his wife?”

…

Seeing this, Tang Xiao became anxious.

If they kept on chatting like this, something might slip out!

After thinking for a moment, Tang Xiao immediately said in the group chat:

“Jie is working overtime, no time to grab red packets!

You all should go back home and get some sleep already!

It’s past one!”

After sending the voice message, Tang Xiao quickly sent a few red packets, with the note ‘Goodnight.’

After the crowd snagged the red packets, the group was inundated with a wave of ‘Thanks, boss’ emojis and went silent on the idle chat.

But…

The oddball Tang Xin sent Tang Xiao a private message.

Perhaps because she was in Fang Qingya’s car, with Lin Yuan and Zhu Cui present, she didn’t dare to send a voice message but opted for text.

“Are you sleeping in separate rooms again, with no outsiders at home?”

Tang Xiao’s mouth curved into a slight smile, as she typed back, “What else then?”

After waiting for a while, Tang Xin replied:

“Honestly, you’re so silly!

Jie is becoming more and more outstanding, increasingly in the spotlight, and certainly, more and more beauties will start to fancy him.

When a man has money, he becomes connected to beauties.

Aren’t you worried at all?”

“I even heard Fengling mention tonight at mahjong that Jie poached the gorgeous director of sales from Tianyuan Haoting to be his vice president.

Even Fengling said she’s a beauty, so I think she can’t be bad!

You didn’t know about this, did you?”

Tang Xiao scoffed lightly and replied:

“Of course, I know!

I met her twice today, morning and evening.

Her name is Chu Yunxuan, a former beauty queen from Tiannan University of Technology.

Jie brought her into the company to take care of marketing and advertising promotions.”

Tang Xin replied instantly, “Not his secretary?”

Tang Xiao frowned and sent three question marks.

Tang Xin: “You haven’t heard?

Proximity to power brings an advantage!

It doesn’t matter whether Chu Yunxuan is a secretary or a vice president; if you don’t rise to the position, there will always be people who are ready to step up!”

Tang Xiao: “It doesn’t really matter to me!

If they are really meant to be, I would happily bless them and generously step aside for a divorce.”

Tang Xin: “Really?

You have no feelings for Jie at all?

You’ve been in contact with him for so long, don’t tell me you don’t have a single good feeling toward him?

If that’s true, then instead of letting Chu Yunxuan, that outsider, benefit, why not give Jie to me?

Why let the ‘river flow to outsiders’ fields’?”

Tang Xiao: “Stop joking!

Right now, he and I…

can only be considered good friends, I guess.”

Tang Xin: “More than friends but less than lovers?”

Tang Xiao: “What does that mean?

Speak human!”

Tang Xin: “If you don’t understand, look it up online.

I’m about to arrive, so I’ll stop this nonsensical chat.

If you let such a good man go, I guarantee you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, bye!”

Tang Xiao sent a goodnight message and then furrowed her brow in deep thought.

That girl Tang Xin, despite appearing careless and uninhibited, actually had a much higher emotional intelligence than herself.

Having read plenty of urban romance novels over the years, by her own account, she could already be considered half a love expert.

Maybe it was precisely because she had read so much that she disliked dating and preferred to live a carefree and unrestrained life as much as possible.

But that didn’t prevent the fact that Tang Xin’s words made a lot of sense.

If she really did develop feelings for Wu Jie, then from a certain perspective, Chu Yunxuan would be her love rival!

And this love rival was not to be underestimated.

She had talent and brilliance, as well as looks and figure.

What’s more important was…

Tang Xiao felt that Chu Yunxuan was better at dressing up; compared to her own fierce and domineering tomboyish air, Chu Yunxuan had the delicate and gentle beauty that women should have, and apparently also knew how to be considerate and take care of men.

Her every frown and smile could be described as ‘a smile that could bring the city to life’; she was simply born to be a vixen.

And herself?

Hardly smiling, cold and rigid, walking fast as if on a rapid march.

Comparing people can really kill you!

After sighing, Tang Xiao tossed her phone aside,

Suddenly.

“Wait a minute!

Why should I compare myself to her?

I am me, why compare with her?

We’re not even rivals!”

Muttering to herself, Tang Xiao pulled up her blanket, ready to sleep.

Unfortunately…

She felt hungry again.

She thought she could endure it, but the more she held out, the hungrier she got.

She got out of bed, opened the door, and headed to the kitchen.

Upon opening the fridge, she saw,

Disaster!

Other than fruits and vegetables, there were no bread, milk, or instant noodles.

What to do now?

It was too late for takeout.

Try cooking?

But Tang Xiao immediately dismissed this terrifying thought; she didn’t want to self-harm.

Not wanting to embarrassingly ask Wu Jie to cook and not wanting to just fill her stomach with fruit, what was she supposed to do?

Boil some plain eggs then!

However…

She placed the pot on the stove, filled it with water and eggs, but the gas wouldn’t ignite.

There was natural gas coming out, but it just wouldn’t light up.

Damn it!

Could it be the battery was dead?

Where’s the lighter?

After searching for a while, Tang Xiao reluctantly tried to find one in Wu Jie’s room.

Wu Jie, a smoker, would certainly have a lighter on him.

Click!

The door to the secondary bedroom was unlocked, and Tang Xiao pushed it open.

Using the faint light of her phone, she found nothing on the table.

Then, she suddenly thought that old smokers always keep their cigarette packs and lighters in their pockets.

She noticed that Wu Jie must have been extremely tired; he lay on the bed without even removing his clothes, shoes, or socks.

His right pocket looked bulging with distinct edges; the size and shape indicated that it was probably a cigarette pack.

Slowly climbing onto the bed, Tang Xiao, like a thief, gently reached out her hand.

Indeed, it was a cigarette pack and beside it, there was a cylindrical object with a curved shape, which must be the lighter.

Stealing a glance at the unmoving Wu Jie, Tang Xiao quickly reached for the pocket.

She carefully extracted the cigarette pack and was about to reach into the pocket to get the lighter at the bottom.

But Wu Jie woke up.

In an instant, he flipped over and pinned Tang Xiao down in a standard Grappling Combat move.

“Don’t hit me!

It’s me!”

Tang Xiao raised her arm to block, speaking out to avoid any misunderstanding.

Wu Jie immediately let go, blinked his sleepy eyes, and curiously asked:

“What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night, sneakily reaching into my pocket?”
