Chapter 1275: First meeting in 1274
On the other side, Li Li was calling Tan Rou, and she didn’t care whether Tan Rou was listening seriously or not; she just kept talking.
“Tan Rou, let me tell you, Jiang Min’s sister has found a super ugly guy to be her fiancé,” Li Li said dramatically. “That guy looks like a toad, even Xiao Chen is a thousand times better-looking than him!”
Xiao Chen was the least good-looking person in Jiang Min’s team, not that he was ugly, just plain-looking.
Tan Rou felt that Li Li was exaggerating, “Li Li, I know you have high standards and like handsome guys, but you can’t expect everyone to like only handsome guys. Maybe Jiang Min’s fiancé is just plain-looking; you don’t need to degrade him like that.”
Li Li said excitedly, “He really is ugly! And not only is he ugly, but he’s also mean-spirited. He keeps arguing with Jiang Min, making her very unhappy.”
Tan Rou didn’t see anything wrong with that, not everyone can be as harmonious as she and Zhuang Liu, “Li Li, please don’t be jealous of others. I know you’re anxious about finding a boyfriend, but you shouldn’t put down other people’s boyfriends.”
Li Li said, “Tan Rou, this guy is definitely not good news! You need to come here and see for yourself, then we can deal with him together. We can’t let him marry Jiang Min.”
Tan Rou knew Li Li’s personality; sometimes she indeed couldn’t accept some things, which was why she had encountered so many setbacks in her quest for a boyfriend.
“Alright, alright, I’m coming now,” Tan Rou said helplessly, “Don’t talk bad about him. I’ll be there soon, let’s talk when I arrive.”
Li Li urged, “Hurry up, if you’re late, Jiang Min and the others might leave.”
After hanging up the phone, Tan Rou shrugged at Zhuang Liu and said, “Li Li says Jiang Min’s sister has got a boyfriend who looks like a toad, and she’s asking us to come stop their wedding.”
Zhuang Liu was amused by Li Li, “After all these years, her personality hasn’t changed at all, has it?”
Before he and Tan Rou got together, Li Li had already been Tan Rou’s good friend; she was very protective of Tan Rou. If Tan Rou faced any unfairness, she was always the first to stand up for her.
Zhuang Liu had a good impression of Li Li; he also hoped to have friends who truly cared for Tan Rou by her side, so he pulled some strings to give a little business to Li Li’s parents’ company, which was now doing very well, making Li Li quite the wealthy second-generation rich kid.
However, Li Li’s personality was indeed difficult to deal with. Zhuang Liu had never met anyone as meddling as Li Li; if it wasn’t for her friends’ significant backgrounds, this young lady would probably have been eradicated by society long ago.
Zhuang Liu could see that Tan Rou cared a lot about Li Li; otherwise, she wouldn’t defend Li Li in everything. According to Tan Rou, Li Li was her first peer friend in high school and her best friend. If possible, Tan Rou would protect Li Li for a lifetime.
One doesn’t need too many friends in a lifetime, but one must have very close friends. Li Li and Tan Rou are such friends.
“Let’s go,” Tan Rou said with a sigh. “We better hurry and stop this girl before she causes any trouble.”
Zhuang Liu said jealously, “You treat her better than you treat me.”
Tan Rou pinched Zhuang Liu’s face with a smile, “She’s just a kid who never grows up, aren’t you a kid as well?”
Zhuang Liu replied, “Yeah, I’m a kid too.”
Tan Rou certainly didn’t indulge Zhuang Liu, she started walking towards Li Li first, looking back to say, “Don’t act spoiled here!”
Zhuang Liu was deeply envious of Li Li but couldn’t prevent it; he could only follow behind grudgingly.
When Tan Rou and her group arrived, Liang Lu and Lu Qing were already there, and Tian Tian and the others, who lived further away, were still on their way.
When Feng Jiao saw Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, his eyes widened, “You… you are…”
Zhuang Liu smiled gently, “Nice to meet you, Zhuang Liu.”
Tan Rou smiled faintly, “Tan Rou.”
Feng Jiao was clearly familiar with them; he said excitedly, “Ah Min, how could you not tell me you know Mr. Zhuang Liu and Miss Tan Rou?”
Jiang Min asked strangely, “Why should I tell you that?”
Unperturbed, Feng Jiao extended his hand in greeting, “Nice to meet you, I’m Feng Jiao.”
