C136 Spongy Needle

I quickly ran upstairs to change into a pink one. It was an autumn and winter new one that O'Jia Rui had bought at the counter, and I looked very gentle and young. I usually wore a black and white and a white colour.

After following O'Jia Rui out the door, I was suddenly a little nervous. I kept playing with the buttons on my windbreaker, like a schoolboy about to take an exam. I sat on the passenger seat and watched the scenery outside the window uneasily.

When Ou Jia Rui suddenly appeared like a divine weapon from the heavens, when Meng Shuzhen needed help, I felt that the plot was exceptionally familiar. It seems that when we gradually went from strangers to familiar, it was also because Ou Jia Rui repeatedly saved me at my most difficult and helpless times.

As the car sped along the road, I let my imagination run wild. I didn't even hear Ocari and me talk.

"Yao Yao, Yao Yao." It wasn't until Ou Jia Rui called out my name for the third time that I finally came back to my senses.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

Ou Jia Rui smiled. "What are you thinking so seriously about? I'm asking you where you want to go for dinner. The three of us might be able to have a meal together. Let's forget about the Ma La Bun. We can eat alone." Ocari remembered the first time we ate together a year ago.

I waved my hands and asked in a almost coquettish tone, "But I don't want to eat with her. Can we go home to eat?"

"Sure, then we'll help her solve her problem and go home."

"Alright." I was afraid that things might get out of hand. I wasn't confident in my charm, and I was afraid that if Ocari and Meng spent more time with each other, they would think of all the good things that had happened between them in the past.

Arriving at the place Meng Shufu mentioned, I saw a beautiful back from afar. Standing on the side of the road, with her soft hair draped over her shoulders, she was wearing only a beige long skirt along with thin stockings and a shawl over her shoulders.

Looking at the sweater and shirt under my thick woolen coat, I lamented the fact that a woman's combat prowess was truly frightening. I had long given up on the pursuit of fashion in the fall and winter seasons, and had put most of my clothes on keeping them warm.

"Why are you standing outside, waiting in the car for us to warm up a bit?" This was the first thing Ojarui said as she opened the passenger door for me and walked with me to Meng.

When Meng Shuzhen turned around and saw Ou Jia Rui, her eyes brightened. However, when she saw me beside her, her eyes dimmed, "It's okay. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find me while sitting in the car. That's why I came out to wait for you."

The first time I saw Meng Shuzhen, I confirmed what Ou Jingyi said about how she thought I looked similar to her. It wasn't just a fabrication. Our facial features and looks were indeed quite similar, so it wouldn't be wrong to call us sisters.

Although Meng Shuzhen was older than Ou Jia Rui by more than ten years, and even had a daughter similar in age to me, Ou Jingyi. However, based on her appearance, she looked like a person of the same age as Ou Jia Rui.

With his well-preserved face and figure, coupled with his exquisite naked makeup and reasonable attire, a few young men in their twenties passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

After confirming that our appearances were somewhat similar to each other, my mood darkened, and the words that Madam Ou, Lin Qian and Ou Jingyi had said to me returned to my mind.

No wonder, when I met him for the first time, it was only an accident that I was hit by his car, but he did not hesitate to help me time and time again. If a person was so good to another person that I had never met before, then there must be something about that person that attracted him.

This was human nature, but it made me very sad, because everything I had gotten from Ou Jia Rui was most likely because of the fact that I had a similar face to Meng Shu Ju.

"Let me introduce you to my wife, Zhou Xinyao, and Yaoyao. This is Meng Shuzhen." Ojarui's voice broke my self-pitying thoughts.

"Hello, this is Zhou Xinyao." I reached out my hand in a friendly way, concealing my disgust.

"Hello, Miss Zhou. I'm Meng Shuzhen, an old friend of Jia Rui." After all, he was an older man. Even when I couldn't see his face, his actions and demeanor were filled with the temperament of a man who had been precipitated by the passage of time, which couldn't be hidden.

This was Meng Shuzhen's most charming aspect, but it was also her weakness.

After leaving B City for so many years, the city had developed very quickly. Meng Shuzhen was clueless about everything around her. Ou Jia Rui asked Meng Shuzhen to drive her car to a parking space and then drive her to the police station to take notes.

The two of us followed closely behind the Monk.

After she parked the car, she got out of the car and walked towards the car that Ou Jia Rui was driving today. After she opened the car door, she found that I had already sat in the passenger seat.

I frowned and looked at her expression in the same way as Ou Jia Rui. After a long time, she said with a faint dejected voice, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it. Miss Zhou, please don't take offense."

Women are the ones who understand a woman's thoughts the most. I am well aware of Meng Shufu's intentions in doing this, but on the surface, he is still calm and collected. A particularly bright smile appeared on his face. "It's alright, Ms. Meng. Maybe women prefer to sit in the front passenger seat. I understand you."

Ou Jia Rui looked at me sideways with a clear smile in her eyes. While Meng Shuzhen was closing the passenger door and going to the back, Ou Jia Rui whispered to me, "Did you knock over the vinegar vat again?"

"Hmph." I coldly snorted and signaled with my eyes for Ou Jia Rui to go back and settle the score with you.

The three of them drove together to the nearby police station to file the case.

Looking at the unfamiliar streets and buildings on both sides of him, Meng Shufu could not help but sigh. "It's been so many years since I last came back. The change in B City is so great. The places we went to all those years ago were gone?"

Before Ou Jia Rui could finish her sentence, I looked out the window and lightly said, "Yeah, the world is going through tremendous changes every second. A lot of things have disappeared."

Meng Shufu smiled embarrassedly, "But Jia Rui, you really haven't changed much from back then. You still look young, but you've become much calmer."

Ou Jia Rui focused on the road ahead and replied, "Yes, you too. They will try their best to help you look for it after we go to the police station for the record, but you better not give them too much hope, the chances of finding it are very slim, so you should go and get your various documents as soon as possible.

"Alright, I know. I'm no longer that little girl who couldn't do anything good in the past." There was a deeper meaning behind Meng Xianshi's words, but I didn't want to bother with them. All I wanted to do was to quickly send this great Buddha home to draw my design.

Seeing that I didn't have any intention of responding, Meng Shufu asked, "I heard that Miss Zhou is a very outstanding designer?"

"Don't listen to Jia Rui's nonsense, I'm just a small designer who just started. I don't even have the money to show you, Ms. Meng's paintings are the ones that are worthy of praise." This hypocritical form of mutual flattery made me feel very uncomfortable.

Compared to a woman like Ou Jingyi who could tell with a single glance that I was extremely disgusted by my actions, Meng Shuzhen's actions made me feel like I was in a crisis.

Finally, it was filed in the police station, "Thank you so much for both of you. How about I treat you guys to dinner? I heard my friend accept that there's a pretty good molecular restaurant here."

Just as I was about to speak up, Ou Jia Rui rejected my offer for us: "Calm down, we're old friends. Yao Yao is my wife and one of us. The two of us still have things to do, so let's skip the meal. You should go and take care of your own matters first."

"Oh, alright then. Since you two have matters to attend to, I will come over some other day to thank Miss Zhou for her help." Seeing that Ou Jia Rui had bluntly refused, Meng Shufu tactfully did not continue to pester her.

After saying goodbye, we drove to the Ou house.

After getting into the car, I leaned against the back of the car and closed my eyes to rest.

"What's wrong? Are you tired so early?"

"Not really. I'm just a bit tired. It's too tiring to get along with your first love."

Ou Jia Rui smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so hostile towards Meng Shu Ju. I was afraid that you would fight with her at any time just now. Although sometimes she likes to talk, she is still a good girl."

I rolled my eyes. I didn't want to care about Ou Jia Rui. I didn't expect that after so many years, when Ou Jia Rui was still abandoned, he would still protect him like this.

Before I left the house, the firm confidence I'd just built up in my heart about our relationship began to crumble.

After a long silence, I opened my mouth again. My voice was cold as I said, "For some reason, this Madam Meng wants to open a company in B City. We aren't stupid, right?"

Just as Ou Jia Rui was about to explain, Meng Shuwen called:

"Hey, teacher, what's wrong? Yao Yao and I are still on our way home."

"Jia Rui, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have met with such a problem like before. The first person I wanted to find you to help was you. I think Miss Zhou is already unhappy. Please apologize to her on my behalf." Meng Shuzhen's position is really high. She knows too well what it means to retreat in order to advance. Even someone with high EQ like Ou Jia Rui, when compared to me and Meng Shuzhen, feels that she is too gentle …

"No, it's nothing. Yao Yao and I are both busy, she's just a little tired."
