Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s
Chapter 846: How About Making a Deal?

Chapter 846: Chapter 846: How About Making a Deal?

She waited for a few seconds, and then the hallway quieted down before Xin Ni descended the stairs.

No wonder she and Zhang Guifang could share the same enemy; it turned out that her family also had such a mess to deal with.

Xin Ni laughed.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and suddenly, she was very curious to see what the woman who troubled An Hao and whom An Hao disliked looked like.

Xin Ni tiptoed toward the corner of the first-floor hallway, where she saw a woman in a white coat standing. Her curly long hair was tied in a ponytail, and her attractive face was adorned with meticulous makeup, exuding an aura quite unlike that of ordinary people.

Upon seeing this beautiful woman, Xin Ni even felt somewhat ashamed of herself.

Cheng Yu looked down at the brocade box in her hands, where the little tank made of bullet casings had been returned by An Hao, along with that stack, the maple leaves she had sent from all over the country.

She had endured loneliness for more than a year, sending leaves to Qin Jian during countless nights.

The stage was already set, and she should have been more patient, to continue lying in wait by An Hao’s side. However, seeing the sweet moment between Qin Jian and An Hao yesterday, she couldn’t hold back any longer.

All her previous efforts were in vain; everything was back to square one.

The more she wanted to have it, the less she could obtain it.

That heart-wrenching feeling almost made her wish she were dead.

Cheng Yu’s eyes reddened, her heart filled with bitterness, and she wanted to cry.

She had gone through several craniotomies without shedding a tear, and had never felt as much pain during the agonizing headaches as she did now.

"Oh, are you crying!" Xin Ni had observed Cheng Yu for a while before shaking her head and saying, "I thought you were formidable, but it turns out you’re just soft and weak. With that demeanor, how do you expect to stand a chance against that strong woman."

Cheng Yu, hearing someone talking about her, suddenly looked up.

She saw a flamboyantly dressed, fashionable woman standing before her with a look of disdain on her face.

"Who are you? What do you mean by what you just said?" Cheng Yu’s gaze turned cold in an instant, the vulnerability she showed just a moment ago seemed like nothing but Xin Ni’s illusion as it disappeared without a trace.

Xin Ni was startled, then a smile appeared on her face, "Indeed, appearances can be deceiving! My name is Xin Ni, let’s get to know each other, shall we? Perhaps, we can stand side by side in the same trench."

"I don’t understand what you’re saying!" Cheng Yu scornfully looked at the woman, whose fashionable attire could not hide the vulgarity inherent in her manner.

"You don’t understand what I’m saying? But I know who you are. Aren’t you the one pining for that woman’s husband earlier, to no avail?" Xin Ni crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Cheng Yu with a triumphant gaze, "By the way, I’ve been terribly wronged by that woman too. Look at my hand, these injuries are thanks to her. And look at my knees; ever since I met her, there’s not a single spot on my body that hasn’t been harmed. See, we have a common enemy. So why not make a deal?"

Cheng Yu sized up Xin Ni from head to toe, surprised that this seemingly vulgar woman harbored such thoughts.

But what was her identity, Cheng Yu? How could she possibly associate with this woman?

"You’re overestimating yourself. I’m not interested in your deal!" Cheng Yu said expressionlessly, "Excuse me, but I need to get to work!"
