Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1241: 1240 stands by your side

Tan Rou looked down and said, “Scold me.”

Li Li expressed her confusion. “Why should I scold you?”

Tan Rou sighed. “I stole the person you liked; you should be angry.”

Li Li suddenly laughed; she said, “Oh, if I had known he liked you, I wouldn’t have bothered him. Don’t you know me? Usually, I don’t like someone for more than a week. Although this time was quite long, he didn’t like me, so I had already decided to give up.”

Tan Rou was still very conflicted, “But… but you really liked him…”

“Alright,” Li Li affectionately slung her arm around Tan Rou’s shoulder and said, “Although Wu Hao’s face did match my standards, it’s not like he’s the only guy for me. There are so many handsome guys in the world, and I wouldn’t keep my focus on just one person. If you like him, I could help you chase him.”

“No, no, no!” Tan Rou vigorously shook her head, “I don’t like him at all, please don’t help me pursue him, and besides, I clearly rejected him, but it seems like he hasn’t given up yet.”

“Oh, you rejected him?” Li Li asked, “When did that happen?”

Tan Rou recalled the timing, saying, “It was last time he got hurt; we went to see him at the hospital, and then I bought him a fruit basket. After he returned to school, he found me and wanted to treat me to dinner, but I didn’t agree. He then bought me things and said he liked me, but I rejected him. Yet, he still keeps sending me gifts.”

Li Li disliked this approach. “Although my usual method is not to give up until I achieve my goal, I wouldn’t keep sending gifts to someone. Isn’t that just plain dumb?”

Tan Rou said, “Li Li, actually I think his character isn’t as good as you imagined. I didn’t dare tell you when you still liked him. Now that you know, let me tell you what happened to me.”

Li Li pointed to the nearby chairs, “Let’s sit down and talk about it.”

Four chairs, just enough for one each, Liang Lu and Tan Rou sat together; Li Li and Lan Ning sat together.

Tan Rou said, “He told me when he was giving me gifts that if I didn’t accept his gifts, he would tell you about his feelings for me to make you angry, asking you not to hang out with me anymore.”

Li Li’s mouth fell open in surprise as she asked, “Did he really say that?”

Tan Rou raised her right hand and swore, “I swear I haven’t told a single lie. If I did, may lightning strike me dead.”

“No need to swear, I definitely believe you,” Li Li stopped her, “I just didn’t expect him to be this kind of person. Looks really can be deceiving, huh? Just like that younger student we know who smokes, he looks so respectable, but turns out he has so many bad habits.”

Tan Rou nodded continuously, “Li Li, please don’t be tricked by him. Although he’s good-looking, he can be threatening. What would you do if he threatened you in the future, telling you not to hang out with us anymore?”

Li Li laughed, saying, “Silly Tan Rou, I would definitely stand by your side. If anyone prevents me from hanging out with you guys, then I absolutely must flatten him.” After saying that, she raised her right fist, making a punching gesture, “Just like this, I’d flatten his face with a punch!”

Tan Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief, “I was afraid this matter would make you angry with me.”

Li Li said, “That’s impossible. No one can break our relationship, not even future boyfriends; they can’t keep me from hanging out with you all. If you don’t believe me, just ask Tan Rou and the others if they’ve ignored us because they got partners?”

Liang Lu straightaway answered, “If Lu Qing dares to stop me from hanging out with you guys, I’ll go home tonight and give him a thrashing.” If a real fight happened, Lu Qing probably wouldn’t be able to beat Liang Lu, because she’s really skilled from actual combat training.

Tan Rou thought for a moment, then answered, “I would also stand by your side. If Zhuang Liu stopped me from being friends with you, I’d seriously reconsider marrying him.”

Unbeknownst to them, Presidents Zhuang and Lu felt a chill down their backs; they almost got dumped by their own wives.
