How should one react in this situation when is caught bad-mouthing another?
Chen RuoYu didn't have much experience on this. She stiffened and bravely said.. "Mr Li said, he can see that Dr Meng has achieved professional success and has a promising career."
"He has such good acumen.., I'm falling in love with him." Meng Gu went over to Li Jian and sat down beside him. Chen RuoYu really wanted to *stroke her forehead [*meaning.. expressing a helpless and distressing feeling].
Revenge..... he's absolutely here to take revenge.
"My friend has left and I'm feeling lonely." Meng Gu smiled at Li Jian. His smile made Li Jian felt feared rising in his heart.
Does this mean, he wants to start something with him? But he's not into this!
Li Jian stared At Chen RuoYu and visually pleaded for her help.
But Chen RuoYu herself was also a guilty party and she didn't even dare to fart.
Meng Gu stared at Li Jian and continued to smile. His hands started to stroke Li Jian's thigh.. "How shall I address Mr Li?". "Li.... Li Jian".
"Ah Jian.... ah Jian.....". Meng Gu dragged on his last word which made Chen RuoYu's heart trembled. He called him "Ah Jian...." Does he have to be so cheap?!
[*Li Jian.. the word "Jian" means healthy and also has the same pinyin as the word 'cheap'. The Chinese characters of the two words are different in writing].
"Ah Jian.... ah. What's your opinion of a relationships between men?".
Goosebumps rose all over Li Jian and he didn't care to respond. He quickly removed his legs away from Meng Gu. Meng Gu didn't move towards him instead he put his hand gently on Li Jian's shoulder.
"You don't have to be shy. As doctors, we've seen a lot and we're very broad-minded."
Chen RuoYu really couldn't stand it any longer and said.. "Dr Meng....".
Just as she opened her mouth, he glared at her. She quickly shrank down and shuts her mouth.
"Ah Jian, is it because you've little experience, so your curiosity is great?". What does these words means? Li Jian shook his head desperately. He's not curious at all and he does not need to have this type of experience.
"Since you're not curious, then it must be your morality that's not good. Otherwise, how can you speak proudly without thinking, making reckless guesses, tarnishing another person's sexual orientation, who they're with and what they do..... what has it got to do with you? If you feel empty, bored, lonely and unsettled, you can hide inside your home and spend your times watching romance or action movies instead of coming out and have obscene thoughts of strangers. This'll have a negative impact on social security. Even if you intend to come out and harm someone, you should take a good look at yourself in the mirror first at home. You must prep yourself before you come out to meet peoples. Look at your dressing and the oil on your hair, its so tasteless. Not to mention.., with the face of a man approaching 40-plus, sprounting acne.. coming out for a blind-date with this type of look, don't you think you're letting this society down?".
That long speeches are spoken in.One breath without deep thought or preparation. His voice tone had done a 180 degree turn from the tone he normally used.. when he initially sat down and stunned Li Jian.
Chen RuoYu blushed and felt his words hit her on her face.
But the one that was injured the most was Li Jian. He said.. "You.., you..." for a long time and still could not spit out any words. Infront of Chen RuoYu, he wouldn't and couldn't rush into rage due to this humiliation. The most important point is that after getting angry, he's not confident he'll be a worthy opponent of Dr Meng. When he saw Dr Meng calmness and full of confidence, he knew he was being suppressed.
"Ah Jian, do you think I'm wrong? Where am I wrong? If you have any opinion, you can speak up. We can discuss this, even if we go deeper, it's alright. I don't mind."
That evil hand started to touch his tigh again.
Suddenly, Mr Li Jian jumped up and left quickly without any formalities. He did not even had time to say goodbye Chen RuoYu.
Chen RuoYu watched blankly as he left and didn't know how to response.
After Li Jian left, Meng Gu turned around to face Chen RuoYu. She straightened her back and knew he was going to deal with her next.
"I came back to inform you this weekend Yin Ze will be having a gathering. Initially, I had wanted to invite you, however, since you're a person who fabricates rumours and slandered about your friends behind their backs, I think its best you don't attend."
She started blankly at him and her face blushing hot.
"Gao YuLan should be calling and inviting you soon. I hope you'll reject it. Think of a rejection's reason and don't let it look bad on everyone. What do you say?". There was no intonation in Meng Gu's words but for Chen RuoYu, his words were harsh.
She knows he's angry.
After Meng Gu had finished speaking, He left.
Chen RuoYu sat there in the same place, feeling extremely embarrassed.
She's not this type of person but why did she say such words? And she's caught red-handed by Meng Gu which made her unable to argue too. In his heart, she's this kind of person.. someone's who gossips, create rumours and trouble. She felt unhappy and depressed.
Chen RuoYu sat there distracted for a long time, then paid the bills and wandered on the streets, like a wandering soul. She didn't flag down any taxi nor ride on a bus. She was so deep in thoughts, she didn't know where she had wandered off. Her tired legs hurt a little and then droplets of water fell onto her face. She raised her head, looked up and found it raining.
She sighed a while.. she's sure one unlucky girl. Just as she was about to look for a bus stop nearby and figuring how to go home, the rain suddenly poured down heavily. She put her hands to cover her head and ran quickly to the entrance od a convenience store. When she reached the eaves, she saw the store's door opened and a man came out carrying a big shopping bag. While speaking on his phone, he pushed the door opened.. "I've brought it.., I've brought it. The things you all wanted.. squid strips, beef jerky, potato chips, beer, dried beans, etc..... What? Do you also wants spicy soup? Damn you! You still have So many requests while playing mahjong*. Do you know it's raining now? Eat whatever there're and don't make any fuss, you scum...".
[*Mahjong.. is strategy tiles games usually played by the Chinese].
As the man spoke, he turned his head and met Chen RuoYu's eyes.
Excellent, it's him again... Dr Meng Gu.
In life, where'll we not meet by chance? Meeting whoever is good but why must it be him?.
Chen RuoYu felt sick and pain in her heart. Why did she've a chance to encounter someone she already know and met? If it was not him, shouldn't that be nice.
Her brain were messy and under Meng Gu's surprised glazed, she turned around and silently ran out into the rain. It was better to be drenched in the rain than be humilated by him.
He's not thinking she's following him, right?
He's not thinking she has ill-intentions towards him, right?
He's not thinking she still cares for him, right?
Chen RuoYu rushed forward into the heavy rains and just then a bus arrived. She didn't care where the bus was heading and as soon as the door opened, she hopped up. In the end, she sat down at the end of the bus in embarrassment.
After she had sat down, subconsciously she turned around to glance for Meng Gu. He got into his parked car by the roadside.
She turned around, leaned back on the seat and let out a sigh. The two of them were really two different worlds apart.. she's riding a public transport and he's driving his own private car.
Wait a minute, the important point is not how she got entrangled with him. The important point is, he's the villain who had bad-mouthed her behind her back. But now, she had actually becomes a villain in his heart.. this's truly two worlds apart.
They despised each other very much so there'll no more interaction in the future.. this's the best result.
Chen RuoYu not only was unlucky to get into a wrong bus but eventually, she had to change three buses to finally reached home.
Liang Sisi waited for her at home and was excited to know the result of her blind-date.. "How was it?" Is it correct that your blind-date partner's not up to your requirement?"
She nodded.
"Is there anyone that you unexpectedly encountered, who made your heart flushed excitedly?"
She nodded again! How could it beats excitedly? It nearly jumped to death!
"Wow! Just as I said, it's so accurate. Then.., then.., it was also raining.. is there anymore romantic actions happenings?".
Chen RuoYu, with her long hair still dripping water, turned her head around and quietly said.."Sisi, ah..... This chance of encounters, if its good.. its considered romantic but if its bad.. its considered hell and nightmare."
This nightmare's too damaging for her health. She's going to shower then go straight to bed and chance her dream.
And she did dream....
In her dream.. Meng Gu dressed in smart white coat, gently said to her.."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said you're not good to my nurses. It's all because of my bad-mouth... will you forgive me, please?".
Ah..... this's shocking! He actually apologized to her!
What's even more shocking was, she responded back shamelessly saying.. "It doesn't matter, I don't mind."
No, no, no..... who said she doesn't mind? Obviously, she minded very much and she's also hurt too.
But Meng Gu didn't hear what she shouted in her heart and continuously say.. "Since you don't mind then shouldn't you also say something to me?".
What's she supposed to say? She blinked her eyes and blushed.. so soon, he wanted to hear me, RuoYu saying she likes him.
Wait a minute, does she likes him?
Is he really waiting for her confession?
Confession? What confession? Obviously, the both of them were not in good terms, not even together.
She was struggling with herself in her dream while having nonsense thoughts. Suddenly Meng Gu's face became ferocious and began to roar.."I had only said a few words of truth and apologized to you. You and another stinky man had degraded and slandered me for being a gay, don't you think you should apologized to me hundred of times properly? When did you know that I love men? The number of girlfriends that I have, can queue up from the main entrance of the hospital, up to the front door of your house. Do you want to interview them and asked whether I really love men? You better apologize to me otherwise this will never end!"
Suddenly Chen RuoYu opened her eyes and woke up.
Damn! This's really a nightmare.
