護花近衛 - 第194章 跳樓的少女 - 墨香閣

"Mom, let me come help you." Tang Yun felt awkward and stifled sitting in the room and wanted to go out to keep her mother company.

"Yun'er, you stay and eat with your classmates, get them some drinks and talk with them, I can manage here on my own!" Tang's mother smiled: "I'm not busy at all. At the snack street I handled so many customers all by myself, and this is nothing compared to that?"

"Oh..." Tang Yun pursed her lips, displeased inside. Eat with them? Drink with them? And chat with them too? Wouldn't that make me a three-way escort?

Kang Xiaobo had been looking forward to this delicious barbecue immensely, but now he seemed somewhat distracted, his eyes kept drifting toward that photograph on the bookshelf, thinking of the girl called Lan Fen, and he could not help asking: "Tang Yun, why don't we call Liu Xinwen and Lan Fen to come eat with us?"

Although Kang Xiaobo put Liu Xinwen first, it was only to cover himself, his real intent lay elsewhere. Liu Xinwen was a schoolmate from No.1 High School and naturally someone he should know better, so Kang Xiaobo mentioned her first, while Lan Fen was actually the point.

From the first glance at Lan Fen, Kang Xiaobo had felt his blood rush upward. Tang Yun, he knew he was not worthy of, and he harbored no fantasies, but Lan Fen... Kang Xiaobo had truly taken a fancy to her.

Tang Yun frowned, not understanding why Kang Xiaobo had taken an interest in the person in the photograph: "I'll treat them separately some other time. If you want to eat, eat. If not, just sit there."

Rebuffed softly, Kang Xiaobo could not help giving two dry laughs. "Eat, of course I'll eat. Just from the smell you can tell it's delicious."

Wei Zhao could roughly guess Kang Xiaobo's little scheme. Out of the corner of his eye he had also seen Lan Fen in the photograph earlier. She was indeed the making of a beauty, a notch below Tang Yun, but still outstanding among her peers. No wonder Kang Xiaobo was smitten.

Looking at the barbecue on the table, Wei Zhao had to admit Tang's mother had an excellent grasp of the heat, and with his own seasoning added, it would be hard for business not to boom.

Just as he was about to pick up a skewer to taste, the door was pushed open and a girl burst in, shouting the moment she entered: "Tang Yun, this is bad, Xiao Fen is going to jump! Come with me and talk her out of it!"

The newcomer was naturally Tang Yun's best friend Liu Xinwen. When she rushed in she had not noticed Wei Zhao and Kang Xiaobo in the room, but after she finished speaking, she was startled to discover there were two other people there! Especially when she saw Wei Zhao, the expression on Liu Xinwen's face turned rather ugly... Just two days ago she had talked to Tang Yun about Wei Zhao, and Tang Yun had sworn solemnly that she had nothing to do with him, yet in the blink of an eye, Wei Zhao had appeared inside Tang Yun's home!

Liu Xinwen sighed inwardly. What a silly girl blinded by love! Tang Yun's earlier explanation about riding in Wei Zhao's car now seemed rather hard for Liu Xinwen to believe.

"What? Xiao Fen is going to jump? Where?" Hearing Liu Xinwen's words, Tang Yun's heart jolted with shock, and she sprang to her feet, about to rush outside.

"Right in front of her house at the mouth of the alley, that three-story building," Liu Xinwen said urgently: "Let's hurry and talk her down!"

At that moment Tang's mother also hurried in. She had been grilling when she saw Liu Xinwen rush into her house like a whirlwind. Liu Xinwen had said something to her that she had not caught before dashing inside, so Tang's mother naturally followed in quickly to see what had happened.

At the doorway she heard Liu Xinwen blurt out the shocking news, and she was frightened out of her wits. Lan Fen had been Tang Yun's playmate since childhood, and the three of them with Liu Xinwen had been very close, only later that thing had happened...
