It was a phone call from Gu Mian!
Su Qianxun answered the call immediately. “Mian Mian, where the hell are you? I’ve been worried sick.”
“I’m currently in the cafe opposite your university,” Gu Mian said in a hushed tone.
“Just a moment, I’ll go over right away.” Su Qianxun hung up and quickened her pace.
When Gu Mian saw Su Qianxun enter the cafe, she immediately craned her head out from behind a magazine she was holding and waved at her friend. “Qianxun, over here.”
Gu Mian was wearing a cap and a face mask. Her disguise seemed a little over the top. Su Qianxun walked over and sat down opposite her.
“What on earth happened to you? Why couldn’t I contact you for so long? Also… what the hell are you wearing?” Su Qianxun reached out and took off Gu Mian’s cap.
Gu Mian’s long hair fell onto her shoulders like a waterfall. Su Qianxun then took the mask off her face, revealing Gu Mian’s exquisite and lovely face.
“Ugh… give them back to me now! If my family members catch me and bring me home, I’m done for!” Gu Mian quickly covered her face with the magazine.
“Your family won’t expect you to be here. Put down the magazine first. Tell me, just what on earth is going on?” Su Qianxun snatched the magazine from her right away.
Now that Gu Mian did not have anything to cover her face, she placed her hands on the table and said gloomily, “Arranged marriage.”
“What?”
“I only found out that there was an arranged marriage waiting for me when I came back. It happened out of the blue! Of course I’d reject such an arrangement. You also know that I already have someone I love…” As Gu Mian said that, her expression turned sour.
“It… It’s been a long time. You still can’t get over that man?” Su Qianxun only asked after a moment of silence.
Gu Mian did not reply. Her face was rather pale. She, too, wanted to get over him so badly. But they had been through so many things together. How could she ever forget all that?
“Ah, all right, let’s not talk about the past… So, what’s going on with you? You ran away to avoid the arranged marriage?” Su Qianxun quickly changed the topic.
“Yeah. How could I possibly sit still and await my doom? Of course I escaped.” Gu Mian’s small face lit up. “What about you? How have you been lately? I’m truly sorry that I didn’t show up at the high school reunion. My eldest brother caught me the moment I left the airport and locked me up.”
“Mian Mian, I have so many things I want to tell you.” When Su Qianxun thought about everything that happened recently, they still felt like a dream.
…..
Su Qianxun told Gu Mian everything she had been through for the past few weeks. After listening to her account, Gu Mian was infuriated. She sprung up immediately and slammed the table. “What is wrong with the Qiao family? Those scumbags! Have they no shame? I’m going to kill those scumbags right now!”
Gu Mian was making such a big ruckus that Su Qianxun quickly tugged at her and sat her down. She looked at the other customers behind her apologetically, then turned back to face Gu Mian and said, “Don’t get so agitated. You’re still a runaway at the moment. Do you want your brother to catch you and bring you home?”
“I’m not afraid. If they catch me, I’ll just get married. It’s not a big deal. But I’ll make that b*tch, Qiao Yiren pay for what she’s done!” Gu Mian’s chest ached from all the rage that was bottled up within. ‘Even if you’re treating someone like sh*t, there should at least be a bottom line. But apparently, to those scumbags, there simply isn’t one!’
Su Qianxun gazed at Gu Mian, who seemed even angrier than her. She smiled in relief. She was lucky to have such a good friend like Gu Mian in her life.
“Why are you smiling? How can you still manage to smile after all those horrible things she’s done to you? I don’t care. I’ll avenge you!” Gu Mian almost burst into tears at that point. She simply could not bear to see her best friend suffer, so much so that her heart was aching for Su Qianxun.
“Mian Mian, I’m so fortunate to have you here with me.” Su Qianxun held Gu Mian’s small hands.
“Frankly, I’m more curious about how that man, Long Sijue, looks like. Is he handsome, tall, and rich?” Gu Mian asked and held Su Qianxun’s hand as well.
