My face turned black. Once Jiang Miao sat at the card table, he had no intelligence or emotional intelligence at all. It was enough to help Hai Tang mock me.
"I'm going to the bathroom." I said as soon as it was over.
"Just in time. I'm going too." Hai Tang followed me.
After I went to the bathroom, I came out with my cell phone. When I washed my hands, my cell phone was put aside. Hai Tang was fixing my makeup next to me.
"Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of cards can afford to lose, why can't you praise a small painter?" I looked at her in the mirror.
Hai Tang glanced at me and said with a smile, "Ning Jing is suspected of plagiarism. When you introduced her to me, you didn't say she was a plagiarist. What I hate most is plagiarism. She's still young and should be taught a lesson."
"You know she didn't!" I almost corrected her with gritted teeth. "You know very well who hua weiwei is. There's no one else here. What are you pretending to be?!"
Hai Tang had just finished brushing her eyelashes when she lifted my chin with her eyelash brush and said to me with her mouth shape, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
My eyes almost popped out. She could see through my little trick easily. I was so angry that I picked up my hand and turned off the recording function.
"I stopped playing this game in junior high school." Hai Tang continued to put on her lipstick. "You and your sister are really alike. You come out of a small place, you have a lot of experience. Everyone else plays the rest."
I took a tissue to wipe off the black mascara on my chin, but I couldn't wipe it off.
"So, you can only be played by others." She approached me, her red lips parted and closed, and a mocking smile appeared before my eyes.
I clenched my fist and slapped the back of my hand. Hai Tang opened his eyes wide and looked at me in disbelief. "You actually hit me?!"
"What, do I have to pick any good days when I hit you?" I pinched her chin and said fiercely word by word, "On the surface, you pretended to be warm and generous, and everyone praised you for being just like your name. In fact, you have a stomach full of bad water. I tell you, don't push me so hard. Go crazy. I'll take you to my grave!"
Hai Tang knocked my hand off and came up to pull my hair. I tilted my head back and caught her first. In terms of fighting, she was really no match for me.
I grabbed her hair and held her against the sink. She screamed, pinching her throat, "Chen Qing, I will sue you for your injuries until you are ruined. No one can protect you!"
"Okay, bring it over. I'll wait." I let go of her hair, and my hands were bleeding from her nails.
As soon as I opened the door to the bathroom and was about to leave, Jiang Miao appeared in front of me. Suddenly, his expression became ferocious and he pulled me into his arms.
I staggered into his arms and found out that Hai Tang was sneaking a mop at me from behind. I pushed Jiang Miao away and was about to teach her a lesson.
"Okay, Chen Qing." Jiang Miao hugged my waist. "Everyone is out to play. Don't make a scene. Hai Tang, I'll take chen qing away first. We'll meet another day."
Hai Tang shook his hair and sneered, "Today I'm playing cards with young master Jiang, tomorrow I'm going to sleep with Fu Jing. You and your sister, like your sister, have a price tag. At the very least, your sister is still sitting on the stage. How about you? It's all a secret affair."
"If you tell me who marked the price, I won't tear your mouth today. I won't be called Chen Qing." I might be crazy. I bit Jiang Miao and broke free of him. I went up and threw Hai Tang on the ground.
I sat on top of her and pinched her neck. "Apologize, apologize to my sister!"
Hai Tang's delicate little face was twisted, her eyes were white, her tongue was sticking out, and ten long fingernails were stuck in my flesh. I didn't feel any pain at all, so I screamed for her to apologize.
"Chen Qing, you're fucking dead." According to Jiang Miao, he was scared by me and took a lot of effort to pull me away from Hai Tang.
He said that if I keep fighting like this, even Fu Jing might not be able to protect me. In fact, I know in my heart that Fu Jing would not protect me at all.
Jiang Miao pulled me away. He drove me for a ride. When he passed the pharmacy, he bought alcohol to disinfect my hands. There were nail marks on them. Some of them were bleeding and scabbing.
I was at his mercy as if I didn't feel any pain, and even my expression was calm. "Jiang Miao, let's break up."
He looked up at me and threw the cigarette out the window. "Seriously, have we ever been together? If you don't want to sleep with me, if you don't get close to me, you'll hide away. I know you don't want to be with me."
If it weren't for Hai Tang, I would have been surprised that he knew about it, but at this moment, I didn't. I just got into a fight, and I was too tired to care about him.
I just wanted to break up with him. I felt that I had done it too badly. I hated what Hai Tang said about me, but she was right. In fact, I was on two boats, but neither of them belonged to me.
"So we broke up?" I care about the result.
Jiang Miao hit me on the head and chuckled, "You have no conscience. I'm not good to you."
"Not bad." I leaned back in the chair, my hair in a mess from the wind. "But I don't like you, and I don't like you either."
"What time is it? Do you like me or not? It's pretentious." He lit another cigarette. "If you don't like me, you should come with me. I'm afraid you're not sick."
"It's as if all the women in your past liked you to be with you."
He froze for a second and snorted contemptuously. "That's true. What about you? Others want my money, you want my face?"
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Can you stop teasing me? I don't want anything from you. I just feel at ease playing with you. You're angry. I'll let you do it if you're angry. I'll shine if you're happy. I feel like we can play together. We don't have to guess each other. We don't have to hold you. It's so comfortable."
Jiang Miao took a few puffs of smoke and said slowly, "You're the first woman to talk to me like this, little door. What should I do? I seem to really like you."
"Okay, let's just skip it." I pulled my hair back. "I hate to admit it, but I just like Fu Jing. I like the man my sister used to like."
It feels good to say this in front of others.
I stood up and repeated what I said to the sky. Now I understand why Jiang Miao likes to drive an open-top sports car. Standing up won't hit his head.
"Who told you that Chen Lai likes Fu Jing?" Jiang Miao narrowed his eyes and pulled me down. "Stop yelling. It's so corny. It's embarrassing."
"My sister doesn't like Fu Jing? How is that possible? She called me and said she was in love with a man. Even though I don't know who the man was, after I met Fu Jing, I thought it should be him."
He said, "I think she prefers Lu Buyuan."
