She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Defeat the Jerk

Mu Lan left the Empire Building feeling utterly dazed.

It was totally mind-blowing. Lin Yize, her image of the gentle and refined senior, how could he be like what Yunzhan said?

Or was her perception of him too heavily filtered?

Huo Tingxiao had never looked up to Lin Yize, but if it was him deliberately slandering… No, no, that’s not right; Huo Tingxiao wouldn’t do such a thing without reason. He does have some principals when it comes to integrity.

While she was lost in her chaotic thoughts, Mu Lan suddenly received a call from Gu Xiaoman.

Gu Xiaoman was crying so pitifully on the phone that it gave her a start; she immediately asked Yun Xi to drive them to find this little ancestor.

...

Mu Lan watched as she cried until her fake eyelashes came off, and felt an immense surge of pity.

“What happened? What did that bastard Shen Zichu do to you?”

As soon as Shen Zichu’s name came up, Gu Xiaoman’s tears flowed even more uncontrollably.

“Shen Zichu told me not to waste time on him anymore because I’m not his type.

Wuwuwu, that bastard, I’ve been pretending to be demure for so long, and now he tells me I’m not his type; what was on his mind before?

For all those dishes, my hands either got burnt or cut; yet, he says I’m not his type.”

Mu Lan sighed, ah, when it comes to feelings, you really can’t force them.

“Why do you still miss such a jerk? There are plenty of fish in the sea in China; if one doesn’t work out, just find another!”

As soon as Gu Xiaoman heard her male idol being called a jerk, she immediately started defending him.

“Why are you scolding him? He just doesn’t like me, that’s not a crime.”

“Alright, alright, he’s not a jerk, not a jerk, my bad.”

“Wuwuwu… Lanlan, why doesn’t he like me…”

Mu Lan was speechless; so it’s true, you just can’t reason with women. If you scold, it’s wrong; if you don’t, it’s also wrong. What exactly do they want?

“Well, you should ask him. If you ask me, I don’t know either. I criticize him, and you don’t like it, so what do you want me to do?”

Gu Xiaoman pouted.

“Now I finally understand how you felt back then. I called you stubborn for liking someone like Huo Tingxiao from hell, I called him a jerk, and you defended him, saying he’s not a jerk, he just doesn’t love you. I thought you were foolish, but now look at me, I’ve become as foolish as you were.”

Mu Lan thought to herself that this was indeed a close girlfriend, able to hit right where it hurts; fortunately, she had lost her memory and didn’t feel much.

“Talking about all this, I’ve forgotten it anyway, can’t sympathize with you, baby. Anyway, it all boils down to kicking those bad men to the curb!”

Gu Xiaoman wiped her tears and couldn’t help but laugh because of Mu Lan’s attitude.

“Now I’m thinking, it would be nice if I could also suddenly lose my memory, getting over a breakup is so damn painful! I just don’t understand what’s wrong with me?

That bastard Shen Zichu, hmm, today he disregards me, tomorrow I’ll make him unable to reach me.”

Mu Lan felt that Gu Xiaoman must have been an earthworm in her past life, because her ability to bounce back was just too strong.

“Later, let’s swing by FamilyMart and buy some beers, tonight we’ll drink till dawn!”

“Right! Men, shove off; when it matters, girlfriends are reliable. Wuwuwu… Lanlan, I feel terrible.”

Gu Xiaoman clung to Mu Lan and cried like a child.

Mu Lan sighed and gently patted Gu Xiaoman.

As they passed FamilyMart, Yun Xi went down to buy several cases of beer, and the three went to Gu Xiaoman’s small apartment. Yun Xi, who had never been involved in such drama, just silently listened to their back-and-forth, as if he was listening to a comedy routine.

Before they knew it, all the beer was gone.

Gu Xiaoman’s throat was parched from cursing, and she was still not satisfied.

“I will definitely find a man a million times better than Shen Zichu. After all, I’m a social media star, I… *hic* I’ll find a fresh young hunk tomorrow, I’ll show him my worth.”

Mu Lan got fired up too; just the thought of Huo Tingxiao’s snobbish demeanor made her angry.

“That’s right, men shouldn’t be spoiled! Someone like Huo Tingxiao deserves to be single, *hic* Yun Xi, tell us, are we right or what?”

Yun Xi looked at the two little crazies, quietly cleaning up the empty cans.

“Lanlan, you know, your Huo Tingxiao is simply… nuts.

When you were in the hospital, I warned him. I told him if he doesn’t like you, to stay away from you and stop being so kind, to avoid misunderstandings.”

“`

“Guess what he said?”

Mu Lan’s eyes widened in disbelief, but she didn’t forget to continue probing.

“What did he say?”

“Hehehehe… He said he’s good to you because you’re Mrs. Huo, hahaha… I’m dying of laughter! He must be crazy, right? Who would be nice to someone for that reason?

I think he likes you and just won’t admit it. Such a psycho, typical of men.”

Gu Xiaoman was truly drunk, spilling everything she thought without a filter.

“What did you say? He likes me?”

Mu Lan suddenly became more alert, insisting that Gu Xiaoman give her a definitive answer.

“Ouch, little ancestor, be gentle.”

“How can you be sure that he likes me?”

“Even a blind person could see it, huh! If it wasn’t for liking you, would he have changed so much?

He didn’t even bother with you for seven years before, when has he ever looked at you properly?

And look at now, the moment Lin Yize shows up he protects you like nobody’s business, and then there was that incident with Meilan, isn’t it obvious?”

Mu Lan felt a little elated but quickly pulled herself back down to earth.

“Not necessarily, it’s probably just that dog of a man’s possessiveness.”

Gu Xiaoman snorted out a laugh.

“What kind of possessiveness is so reckless?”

Mu Lan smacked her lips, pulled out her phone, and revealed a wicked smile.

“Whether he likes me or not, I’ll just ask him and find out, won’t I?”

“What?”

Before Gu Xiaoman could react, Mu Lan had already dialed the number.

Huo Tingxiao looked at the flashing contact on his phone’s screen and didn’t hesitate to pick it up.

“Hello?”

“You dog of a man, I’m going to ask you a question right now, and you’d better answer me honestly.”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao paused for a bit, pulled the phone away from his ear to check again, indeed, it was Mu Lan’s number.

What did she just call him?

Dog… dog of a man? And why was her speech slurred, as if she had a big tongue?

“Have you been drinking?”

“Don’t change the subject on me, I’m asking you, do you like me or not? Huh?”

Huo Tingxiao furrowed his brows in frustration, she really had the nerve, going out to drink and getting completely wasted?

“Where’s Yun Xi? Let her take the call!”

Mu Lan was babbling, completely drunk, not listening to him at all.

“Don’t try to change the subject! I’m just asking you one thing, do you like me or not? What do you want with Yun Xi? What, do you like Yun Xi?”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao forcefully suppressed his anger, having a conversation with a drunk person was indeed a test of patience.

After hanging up, Huo Tingxiao directly called Yun Xi.

Mu Lan heard the dial tone from the phone, and this flipped her lid.

“Damn! That dog of a man dared to hang up on me! He dared to hang up on my call!”

Gu Xiaoman burst into laughter upon hearing this.

“Down with the dog of a man!”
