Chapter 183 Swimming Pool
Tan Yuyao sat directly next to Xia Qingluo, smiling broadly, and acted as if she was familiar with him. "What a coincidence, Luoluo, why are you here too?"
Xia Qingluo didn't even look at Tan Yuyao. He still held the controller in his hand and stared at the screen intently. "Why, you're out of money and you're here to beg your brother for help?"
Tan Yuyao's face was a little stiff. She knew that Xia Qingluo was mocking her for spending all her money on Qingyan before.
However, Qingyan's president is right in front of her, so isn't it a good thing for her to spend more money on Qingyan?
Tan Yuyao looked at Yan Huan and smiled, "Boss Yan, I've heard a lot about you. I've always liked your brand, especially the Q design."
Yan Huan's eyes moved away from the screen for a moment, looked at Tan Yuyao, and nodded politely, "Thank you for your support."
"I heard that President Yan was also invited to the Shangguan family's banquet. Will Q go too?" Tan Yuyao continued to talk, deliberately leaving Xia Qingluo aside.
Yan Huan smiled lightly, "Q won't go. She never participates in such activities."
Tan Yuyao sat closer to Yan Huan again, "Is Q a man or a woman? He must be a handsome guy, right? Q's men's clothing is also very beautifully designed. Although I don't wear it, I will buy it for collection."
Yan Huan laughed dryly and said, "Sorry, I don't know either."
When saying this, Yan Huan sideways glanced at Xia Qingluo.
Xia Qingluo felt a little frightened by his gaze. She blinked her eyes, and her eyes were full of thoughts: Why are you looking at me?
Yan Huan simply noticed that Xia Qingluo was left aside and gave her a very considerate look.
He understands social phobia too well.
It's fine when two people are talking and have something to say the whole time.
But when a third person appears and one person is left out of their conversation, that person must feel very uncomfortable.
Xia Qingluo was indeed feeling uncomfortable.
She was so panicked that she had no idea where her identity had been exposed.
Tan Yuyao scratched her head. Seeing that Yan Huan was so obsessed with the topic, she didn't know what other topic to talk about.
"I like Qingyan very much, and I'm even a diamond member of Qingyan."
Yan Huan still smiled warmly, "Really? Thank you so much for supporting us."
The answer was flawless and apparently polite, yet it exuded a sense of distance.
Yan Huan looked at Xia Qingluo again and asked with a smile: "Do you want to play another game?"
Xia Qingluo shrugged, "I don't mind."
Seeing that Yan Huan was always caring about Xia Qingluo, Tan Yuyao began to feel unhappy again.
She knew that Xia Qingluo could always get benefits and special care from men with her face.
Otherwise, if Xia Qingluo had shamelessly pursued Lu Chengyuan, he would have been ruthlessly driven away.
Tan Yuyao started to speak in a sarcastic tone again, "Xia Qingluo, are you here to look for Brother Chengyuan? What a pity, he has been playing mahjong the whole time and has no time to pay attention to you."
She said this deliberately for Yan Huan to hear, deliberately trying to ruin Xia Qingluo's impression in front of Yan Huan.
No man likes to lick a dog, let alone lick another man.
If Yan Huan had any interest in Xia Qingluo, it should have been completely gone by now.
Xia Qingluo took a sip of orange juice, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lazily: "Are you introducing yourself?"
Tan Yuyao gritted her teeth and said angrily, "It's been more than ten years, why haven't you let Brother Chengyuan go? Seeing that the brothers around him can't get angry with you, you just refuse to leave, right?"
Yan Huan, on the other hand, became interested and looked at Xia Qingluo with admiration on her face. "I didn't expect Miss Xia to be a pure love warrior? Pursuing her for more than ten years must not be easy."
"But I think Miss Xia is about to succeed in her pursuit."
Because Yan Huan suffers from social anxiety and doesn't like to talk much, she is very good at observing people.
He could clearly see the love in Lu Chengyuan's eyes for Xia Qingluo. Lu Chengyuan's eyes were clearly full of Xia Qingluo, otherwise he would not have mistaken them for a couple in the beginning.
However, Yan Huan only believed half of what Tan Yuyao said.
Because he also saw that Xia Qingluo's feelings for Lu Chengyuan were complicated, between love and restraint.
Xia Qingluo's eyelids twitched, but he kept silent, thinking that he had to maintain his persona.
Seeing that her sarcasm did not work, and that Yan Huan even blessed Xia Qingluo and Lu Chengyuan, Tan Yuyao was so angry that she was about to burn with rage.
"Xia Qingluo, let's talk alone."
Xia Qingluo's beautiful fox eyes slightly raised, "Okay, let's chat."
She also wanted to see what Tan Yuyao was up to.
Tan Yuyao stood up and walked along a path into the small pavilion on the other side of the swimming pool.
The small pavilion was surrounded by trees and greenery. People outside were playing their own games and didn't notice that there were people here at all.
The pavilion is very close to the swimming pool, and if you are not careful, you will fall in.
Xia Qingluo had already guessed what Tan Yuyao was going to do.
In her previous life, she had become Lu Chengyuan's wife and attended Tan Niao's birthday party with Lu Chengyuan at the Tan family's villa.
Lu Chengyuan drank a lot of wine and suddenly walked out of the villa with his mobile phone.
Out of concern, Xia Qingluo followed him, walked through the corridor of the villa, walked out of the glass door, and entered the garden.
But soon, she found that she had lost him.
Moreover, she was not familiar with the Tan family villa, got lost, and somehow walked near the swimming pool.
The lights by the swimming pool were soft and the water was shimmering under the lights, but there was no one nearby.
Xia Qingluo called Lu Chengyuan's name softly, hoping to get a response from him, but only her voice echoed around her, without any answer from Lu Chengyuan.
Suddenly, she felt a force coming from behind.
The next second, water splashed everywhere, and Xia Qingluo was pushed into the water. Her body was surrounded by cold water. Her heart contracted suddenly, and a moment of fear and coldness enveloped her.
Xia Qingluo couldn't swim, and her instinct for survival made her struggle desperately. She could only keep slapping the water with her hands in panic. Her hands waved helplessly in the water, trying to grab any possible life-saving straw.
Water kept choking in her nasal cavity, and every sip of water was like a sharp needle, stinging her respiratory tract and lungs.
Water continued to pour into her mouth and nose, making it almost impossible for her to breathe, and she could only make faint "gurgling" sounds.
A drowning person cannot cry for help at all. Her throat seems to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and her voice is drowned in the water.
Her vision began to blur, and through the blurry splashes of water and swaying light and shadows, she saw Tan Yuyao's face.
