within Temptation

Chapter 135
I was really surprised to see the name on the caller ID!

It's almost midnight, why is Tang Xiaoru calling me?
Could it be that she called here specifically to explain to me what happened tonight?

I know that Tang Xiaoru is looking for me at this moment, it will definitely not be a business.The only possibility is because I saw her with Fei Jiahui tonight, what does she want to explain to me?

I couldn't help but smiled wryly, thinking to myself, do I need to explain anything?I am not a child anymore, I have my own judgment on things.Did she still think that as long as she told me that it was all a misunderstanding, I would blindly believe her again?
However, what makes me curious is, does Tang Xiaoru actually care about my opinion?To be honest, I am just an ordinary employee in her company.At most, because I have helped her, I am still friends with her in private.But even if she is a friend, she doesn't need to explain or clarify to me for her own private feelings, right?
Of course, Tang Xiaoru's call may also be to apologize to me.After all, she once told me that she and Fei Jiahui were innocent, she lied to her friend, and now the lie is exposed, as long as she is not a particularly thick-skinned person, she must say something to show it, right?

Anyway, since Tang Xiaoru called, it would be wrong for me not to answer.Because I don't have that position, although what happened tonight made me extremely depressed, but I really don't have the right not to answer her call in a fit of anger.

Thinking of this, I calmed down a little, slowly pressed the call button, put the phone to my ear, and said in a calm tone: "Hello, Mr. Tang! It's so late, what's the matter?"

The phone was connected, and I said hello.Strangely, there was silence on the other side of the phone, and no sound came from it.

I stayed for a while, and waited for a while, and couldn't help but said again: "Hey! Mr. Tang, are you there? I can't hear your voice."

"Ah! I... I am here!"

Immediately, Tang Xiaoru's slightly nervous voice came from the phone.This shows that the call is connected, but Tang Xiaoru did not speak.

I smiled faintly in my heart, guessing that she didn't know what to say just now, or she was still thinking about what to say?well!Why bother?In fact, she didn't have to lie to me before, but now that the lie is exposed by the facts, it is inevitable that she will be embarrassed and embarrassing.

But since she called, it meant she still had something to say to me.I pretended not to know why she came, and continued to ask, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Well, I...Actually, it's fine. I heard from Wenwen that you took your sister to the concert tonight?"

"Ah! yes, what's the matter?"

"Well...you've seen me, why...don't you come here and introduce your sister to me?"

I laughed again in my heart, thinking that she was actually asking me why I didn't go over to say hello to her, right?Please, is this even worth asking?On that occasion, you still want me to come over and greet you foolishly?

"Oh, my younger sister is more shy of strangers, and at that time, she was focused on listening to Xu Shu's concert. I think it's better not to disturb her, so I didn't bring her here to meet you."

"Really? I...I've always wanted to meet her. It's a pity that I missed it last night."

"Hehe, there will be chances in the future. I am your employee, if you want to see my sister, is it just a matter of words?"

"..."

"Mr. Tang, you called to talk about this matter?"

"No... not!"

"Then, what else is there?"

"..."

"Boss Tang?"

"Dai Yong, you said that we are friends, right?"

"...Yes, I said, what's the matter?"

"You also said that if you are friends, no matter what happens, you must absolutely trust each other, right?"

"..."

"Is it right?"

"Yes! I did!"

"Then...do you still believe me? Even if you see me and Mr. Fei together tonight, do you still believe what I said before?"

I was silent, I really didn't know what Tang Xiaoru meant by saying this.Does she still want to tell me that everything I saw tonight was false and what she told me before was true?

"Dai Yong, why don't you speak? Don't you believe me anymore?"

"Mr. Tang, do you care if I trust you or not? Is my trust important to you?"

"Important! I care!"

Hearing Tang Xiaoru's categorical affirmation, my heart trembled, and I suddenly became chaotic.Is my trust really important to Tang Xiaoru?Does she really care about my friend?If she really cared, why didn't she tell me about her relationship with Fei Jiahui?Say nothing, but as long as I trust her unconditionally, is this how she treats her friends?
I took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in my heart, and smiled softly: "Really? I didn't expect that I am still such an important person in your heart."

"You...you don't believe me anymore? Now...you also think that there is that kind of relationship between me and Mr. Fei?"

Tang Xiaoru's voice began to look sad and helpless.She didn't seem to get an affirmative answer from me, which made her extremely sad.

I had no choice but to remain silent, neither admitting nor denying.I don't know why Tang Xiaoru cares so much about my opinion of her, but her sadness immediately made me hesitate.

Why?Why is Tang Xiaoru sad?Just because I don't trust her anymore?Or is it true that she and Fei Jiahui are innocent.But now even I, the only friend who trusts her, has doubts about her, so she feels pain and despair?

"Dai Yong, what are you talking about? Don't you believe me anymore? Don't you think of me as a friend?"

I took a deep breath again, and said slowly: "No, Mr. Tang, in my heart, you are still my friend. As a friend, I think I should remind you. If you want others to believe in you, First of all, you have to walk upright and sit upright. I won’t say anything else, but you clearly know that everyone is suspecting that there is a problem between you and Fei Jiahui, but you still continue to maintain this relationship with Fei Jiahui. Don't you think everyone's suspicions are justified for the ambiguous relationship in private?"
