Chapter 25: There's a Mole Inside

Liu Qingqing, open the door!

Can't you read? No men and women allowed inside!

There's no dog, no men and women, just me.

Liu Qingqing opened the door a crack, saw that only Chen Yang was there, and curiously asked, "Where's the senior sister?"

He went on a date with someone.

Male or female?

Female!

Oh...

Liu Qingqing opened the door and let Chen Yang in, her expression a little disappointed.

Are you just hoping I'll wear a green hat?

Of course. If she falls for someone else, you can pursue me again!

"Our thing is over." Chen Yang gave her a glance. "Being friends isn't bad? No need to consider family background differences, nor worry about the other falling for someone else. Many unnecessary troubles in life are saved."

Liu Qingqing didn't believe a word, she questioned Chen Yang: "Since you fear trouble, why did you still marry the senior sister?"

Chen Yang helplessly said: "I was trapped by her scheme; now I want to get out but can't."

"Scoundrel!" Liu Qingqing kicked Chen Yang, snorted coldly: "Just now you two were having a blast inside, all lovey-dovey, doesn't look like you were tricked."

Chen Yang laughed embarrassedly; he didn't expect Liu Qingqing to be eavesdropping by the wall.

Liu Qingqing curiously asked again: "What does doing that feel like? The senior sister's moans sounded painful..."

"Uh..." Chen Yang didn't expect her to ask so boldly, could only answer vaguely: "You'll know when you find your other half someday."

"Tch, forget it!" Liu Qingqing's cheeks flushed slightly; she felt a bit embarrassed and also regretted asking that.

Chen Yang didn't want the atmosphere to get awkward, so he changed the subject: "Liu Qingqing, is your brother back?"

Liu Qingqing nodded: "Yeah, he's been back a few days. Yesterday at dinner he specially mentioned you, asking what you've been busy with."

"Really? Then you didn't tell him about us, right?"

"I did! My brother said you're a real jerk and wants to beat you up."

Chen Yang embarrassedly rubbed his nose; it seems meeting Liu Shijie will have to be postponed.

Liu Qingqing laughed, though. "I was just teasing you. I wouldn't go around blabbing such embarrassing stuff!"

Chen Yang looked at Liu Qingqing with a hint of guilt; her pretended nonchalance made him feel like a total jerk.

Liu Qingqing, let's set a time with your brother; I'll treat him to a meal.

"You're not treating me?"

"Sure, I'll treat both of you!"

Liu Qingqing happily picked up the phone to contact Liu Shijie. He answered quickly, hearing that Chen Yang was treating, they arranged to meet at 7:00 PM on the 30th at Carefree Residence.

Chen Yang had never been to Carefree Residence; he asked Liu Qingqing and learned it was a private restaurant.

After settling the meeting time, Chen Yang prepared to browse the school forum. As he was about to turn on the computer, he noticed Liu Qingqing's computer had a stock trading program open.

Liu Qingqing, do you still trade stocks?

No way!

If you don't trade stocks, why do you have the stock trading program open?

My friend is a stockbroker; she asked me to open an account for her to complete her work task.

Chen Yang glanced at her account's transaction record; not bad. With an initial capital of 100,000, she made 5,000 in one month.

From the process, the early losses were a bit heavy; it was only because the whole market suddenly hit a limit-up these past two days that she turned a loss into a profit.

Of course, what impressed Chen Yang most was that Liu Qingqing wasn't greedy; she immediately sold after the limit-up.

The stock she just sold has now turned green. If nothing changes, this stock will follow the A-share market and remain sluggish for a long time.

Liu Qingqing, who helped you operate this stock? He's an expert!

"Just my friend!" Liu Qingqing lifted her head proudly. "Why don't you also open an account and let her help you make money?"

Chen Yang shook his head; he currently has no spare cash to trade stocks. At the same time he knows the market is about to drop again; entering now would only make him fodder.

Seeing Chen Yang uninterested in stock trading, Liu Qingqing added: "Then just open an account to help my friend finish her new-user task."

Seeing her hopeful look, Chen Yang could only nod.

Liu Qingqing, afraid Chen Yang might change his mind, quickly called her friend to arrange opening an account the next morning,

When Chen Yang heard Liu Qingqing call the other party 'Su Su', he recalled someone and instinctively asked: "Is this Su Su from our school?"

Liu Qingqing nodded: "Yes, her name is Su Mingyue."

Chen Yang was somewhat speechless, advising: "You'd better stay away from her."

"Why?" Liu Qingqing looked at Chen Yang, puzzled.

Chen Yang said: "She's Lin Wei's best friend!"

Upon hearing that, Liu Qingqing gasped, eyes wide. No wonder lately everything she thought and did, Lin Wei knew—turns out there's a mole nearby!

Thinking about how good she had been to Su Mingyue, yet being betrayed so ruthlessly, she instantly felt awful, and crystal tears uncontrollably streamed from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing her suddenly cry, Chen Yang was also a bit dazed. Only after asking the reason did he learn: during their cold war those few days, Liu Qingqing had been with Su Mingyue the whole time; the idea of pretending to disappear was also hers.

Chen Yang had been unable to figure it out earlier: Liu Qingqing and Lin Wei were clearly rivals, yet they got along fine. Turns out she was sold out by Su Mingyue.

The more Liu Qingqing thought about it, the angrier she got; she called Su Mingyue and scolded her for a full half hour. After hanging up, her anger hadn't faded, and she flung herself onto the bed and burst into tears.

In this situation, Chen Yang also didn't know how to handle it. He could only call Lin Wei; the one who tied the bell must untie it.

Lin Wei received the call and came back quickly.

Liu Qingqing wanted to fight her to the death again, but was subdued.

"Liu Qingqing ah, you really misunderstood. I inquired about you with Su Su, genuinely wanting to be friends with you."

Hmph, you're still stealing my man?

Stealing a man? Chen Yang and I got the certificate first. We're legal.

Hmph, you're clearly just acting!

Well, at first there really was some meaning, but later it's not that familiarity bred affection!

Pah, you're shameless! You dare say that Su Su had me avoid Chen Yang wasn't your idea?

Hehe, I'm not trying to keep you from going astray, am I? I'm doing this for your own good.

Seeing Lin Wei's smug, scheming look, Liu Qingqing cried again, feeling wronged.

Chen Yang looked on, unable to bear it, and said to Lin Wei dissatisfiedly: "Is it so hard to apologize to her?"

Why should I apologize? Su Su often betrays me too! Have I ever made her apologize?

That's different; your intelligence is high, maybe you actually turned the tables and played them.

Hmm, you mean Qingqing has an intelligence problem?

Chen Yang suddenly didn't know how to respond; he realized Lin Wei had successfully shifted Liu Qingqing's hatred onto himself.

What I mean is that friends should be pure.

Exactly, we purely each take what we need!

……

Chen Yang suddenly felt that Lin Wei was more like a Reborn Person than he was. She sees reality too clearly, not like a recent college graduate.
