While Lin Qiao was busy upgrading her subordinates, Lin Wenwen, who had traveled to seven years ago, spent a night at the seaside and got up early the next morning for jogging. By the time she returned to the hotel, the sun had risen already.
She walked through the lobby and took the elevator to her room, where she took a nice shower. After that, she put on a comfortable suit, picked up her phone and key, and went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.
“Xinxin, over here!” Someone called her name once she went in. She raised her head to find Qin Jiao waving at her. Seeing her, she slowly walked to the table and pulled out the only empty chair to sit down.
“We’ve eaten these, and they’re cold. Order something new for yourself,” Dong Lijia said to her as she sat down, then turned to call the waiter. Lin Wenwen ordered something she liked, and then started eating.
Seeing the leftover food on the table and how lazy those people all were, she knew that they already had had breakfast.
“Eh? Xinxin, didn’t you bring your bag?” Lin Yuehui looked at her up and down, then asked her a question.
“No,” Lin Wenwen gave her a short answer.
“Aren’t you bringing your clothes to the yacht? We’re going out after breakfast. Do you plan to go upstairs to pick up your clothes after breakfast?” Lin Yuehui said.
“I’m not going upstairs later, and I won’t bring any clothes with me,” Lin Wenwen took a sip of the delicious prawn porridge, then said with a bland tone.
“Why should she bring any clothes? She can wear what she’s wearing now.” Hearing Lin Yuehui ask Lin Wenwen about her clothes repeatedly, Dong Lijia said with confusion.
“Oh… I’m just asking Xinxin if she wants to wear her swimsuit, because we girls have all brought our swimsuits. Didn’t you guys bring your swim trunks?” Qin Jiao explained for Lin Yuehui.
“She can wear anything she wants to wear. We aren’t going to swim on the yacht anyway. We’re just gonna do some barbecue, fishing, and enjoy the sea wind. What’s so important about the swimsuit?” Dong Lijia carelessly waved a hand.
Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui glanced at each other. They knew that they couldn’t say too much at the moment, or the others might detect their true purpose. They two of them also gave Lin Wenwen a glance with a fake smile, both seeming displeased.
They gave her the fat girl swimsuit last night and spent a lot of time trying to talk her into wearing it. But unexpectedly, she didn’t even bring it out of her room today. Since when did Dong Xinxin start to make decisions on her own? She used to do whatever they said!
Had she found the problem with the swimsuit? That shouldn’t be possible. No one would easily find out about that, not to mention Dong Xinxin, who was sillier than normal people.
“Yeah, I wasn’t planning on wearing a swimsuit today. It’s so hot and sunny out there. Why should anyone be wearing a swimsuit?” While speaking, Lin Wenwen reached out her chopsticks to pick a small steamed bun and put it into her mouth.
Her words successfully darkened the faces of Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui. The two girls soon hid their true expressions though. With an awkward smile, Qin Jiao looked at her and said, “But… didn’t you agree to wear it last night?”
Lin Wenwen turned and looked at her as she said with confusion, “When did I agree to wear it? I didn’t even want that swimsuit, but you guys insisted on giving it to me, right? That swimsuit is suitable for me indeed, but I don’t like wearing clothes with poor quality. I like my clothes to be at least not so easy to break. Also, there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why do I have to wear a swimsuit as you said? I don’t like wearing a swimsuit, and I’m not going to wear one. What’s the problem with that?”
The fake smile on the two girls’ faces faded as she said those words. The others all turned their eyes to the two girls.
Lin Wenwen made it pretty clear that the two girls seemed to have some secret scheme against her. However, she didn’t seem to care about those girls’ little trick at all. In addition to that, she even tore that swimsuit apart.
She said she wanted her clothes to at least be not so easy to break. That proved the fact that the swimsuit was already broken. It also indicated that someone might have done something to that swimsuit to make it break easily. The people who managed to figure out the truth instantly had a bad impression of Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui. They were pretty, but people didn’t like girls who were too scheming.
Dong Lijia spent a short while looking at the two girls while thinking about something.
He knew that they liked to give Dong Xinxin advice, but never thought about why they liked to do that. He thought they really saw her as their friend, a normal friend at least. But now, it turned out that he was wrong… No wonder they always tried to put some weird aesthetic standards in Dong Xinxin’s mind. Because of them, she grew fond of wearing tight dresses and heels.
He never noticed what was wrong before.
Under people’s gazes, Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui panicked a little. “It’s not like that. We were worried that you might be too shy to wear a swimsuit, also that you might have trouble finding one suitable for you. That’s why we picked one for you… Hehe… You accidentally tore the swimsuit that we bought you? It’s fine. We can always get you a new one,” Qin Jiao tried to explain.
“Do you even understand human language? I’ve said that I won’t wear one. Didn’t you understand it? Get me a new one? Why would I want a new swimsuit since I’m not gonna wear it? To decorate my room?” Lin Wenwen glanced at them disdainfully and said to them as if talking to two retarded people.
Then, Lin Wenwen abruptly turned to Dong Lijia and the others as she said, “Be careful when making friends, especially girlfriends. Don’t have your hearts and feet softened when you see just any pretty girl. At least, make sure your friends have brains.”
Clap! Qin Jiao exploded upon hearing what Lin Wenwen said to the others. She couldn’t help but pound the table as she glared at Lin Wenwen and yelled, “Dong Xinxin, what do you mean? Are you saying that we have no brains? We’ve been seeing you as our friend and helping you all the time. Is that how you treat us now?”
“Shhh… Easy, easy, don’t yell!” People gave a start on hearing the noise Qin Jiao made. Luo Yuanjun reached an arm toward her and tried to make her calm down.
“If you really saw me as your friend, you wouldn’t be trying to turn me into a joke every day. Like I’d believe you! I’m full. You guys carry on. Dong Lijia, where is the yacht?” Lin Wenwen said to Qin Jiao scornfully, then turned to Dong Lijia.
“I’m full too. I’ll go with you. What about you guys?” Dong Lijia stood up and glanced at the others, not including Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui. The others all stood up and left the table. Only Qin Jiao and Lin Yuehui were left sitting there, their faces black as thunder.
