Chapter 13
In the club, the music was still dynamic, and the light was still colorful, but as if this slap had a self-condensing effect, with Diana Swift as the center, all eyes are gathered.
- Listen, does a slap sound?
- Loud, super loud.
The onlookers answered silently in their hearts.
Ella acted in an ancient web drama some time ago. The web drama was thoughtless and easygoing. Although there was no logic, it was highly discussed. Since it had gained some heat, she, the supporting actress was known by more people.
At this moment, people followed the sound, and many people recognized her. The flashes of candid photography accompanied whispers one after another.
In fact, everyone didn't care much about the origin of the beating dispute. They were more surprised that someone fighted at Gene Hall's birthday party. Did this young lady want to slap Gene in the face or she was intentional to cause trouble?
Kate Hall, who was sitting not far away, was also completely stunned.
She couldn't see her face from the distance just now, but when she saw Diana Swift up close, she unconsciously began to agree with what Josh Hunter said that night.
With the pearl on the side, why should there be a firefly?
The hustling and bustling scene was unprovoked silence for dozens of seconds.
Ella's friend came back to her senses, hurriedly protected Ella, and shouted at Diana Swift: "Why are you like this? Who are you! What are you trying to do by slapping someone?"
"Yes. Can't you say calmly? Do you have the quality?" Another person continued to help.
Ella didn't say anything but just bit her lip, which looked pitiful.
But she quickly remembered that it was this woman who supported Betty Miller in B City that day, forcing Ryan Brook to apologize.
At that time, Ryan Brook didn't seem to want to quarrel with this woman, so this woman might not be easy to offend.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and lowered her head in silence.
Her friends didn't realize it, and still looked like "we are wronged too much". They asked Diana Swift to give an explanation one by one.
Diana Swift didn't lift her eyelids and took the warm towel that Betty had conjured out of nowhere, and wiped her hands slowly. The corners of her eyes and brows were arrogant and fearless, showing "I don't care".
If someone at the scene tonight had played against Josh Hunter, they might have found that the couple was exactly the same when dealing with people.
After a while, Gene Hall followed the sound and came over.
Ella's friend was also extremely fake. Seeing Gene coming over, her voice suddenly turned tactful, and she wanted to take this opportunity to act coquettishly to him, "Mr. Hall, what's the matter with this young lady? She just run over and beat people. Today is your birthday. She doesn't give you face."
Gene was numb for three seconds. He looked left and right, and he still didn't understand how these women who were completely different from each other could have relationships.
Fortunately, he hadn't started drinking, and his mind was very clear. He was a little relieved after he figured out who was beating whom.
Soon he turned his head and asked diligently, "Sister Shu, is your hand okay? Does it hurt? Should I get someone to get some medicine?"
Diana Swift chuckled, "It's okay, I'm sorry. I should bear it for your birthday."
She really never thought about smashing people, but it was a coincidence that when she just went to the bathroom with Betty Miller, Ella's "a slap doesn't make a sound" remarks just fell into her ears. She slapped her and didn't think much about it.
Gene waved his hand indifferently, "That's OK! A piece of cake!"
He asked a waitress then to change a towel to cover Diana Swift's hand, and a string of nice words came out.
He also took time to glance back at Ella and her sisters, but he didn't do anything to them. After all, it was his birthday, and he didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad.
But some people didn't get it. Diana Swift didn't want to have more trouble at the birthday party, but some people still sneered after she turned around.
Diana Swift paused for a while and looked back.
The one who snorted coldly was Ella's friend, who was quite arrogant and didn't even look at her directly.
Ella kept covering the half of her face that was beaten. Tears were in her eyes, but they didn't fall down.
Diana Swift thought it was funny, "You've been a mistress and haven't made yourself aware of being beaten at any time. You are not professional. If you're not convinced, then you can try to fight back."
Gene also suddenly became angry. He turned around, frowned and said impatiently: "What's the matter with you? Who brought them in? Are you trying to make trouble on my way to my thirty on purpose? You cried in my birthday party, how much hatred do I have with you?"
Ella was startled by this, and the tears that were swirling in her eyes just now, which were very technical, suddenly fell.
Gene was even more so angry that his brain was smoking. He didn't want to say anything and just asked waitresses to get these unlucky ones out.
The people around were silent, and they didn't know whether they didn't react or were shocked by Gene's illogical double standard.
Until the end of the birthday party, Betty Miller had not come to her sense.
She pulled Diana Swift and asked directly: "Why is Gene Hall so flattering to you? Isn't the Hall family pretty good? It seems that he and your husband still have business dealings, but he doesn't need to act like this. It's too much."
"Of course his brother doesn't need it, but he wasn't born by Mrs. Hall." Diana Swift said lightly.
Betty Miller was confused, "What? He wasn't born by Mrs. Hall? But he... Isn't he very favored in the the Hall family?"
Diana Swift: "Being favored doesn't conflict with him being an illegitimate child. Have you never studied logic?"
"No." Betty Miller thought for a while and answered seriously.
Diana Swift choked and asked again, "You have been in P city for several years, why don't you know anything?" She was really surprised by the ignorance of this little countrified goose.
But Betty Miller was not ashamed but proud. She looked like I was ignorant but I was righteous. She hugged her and said, "No one told me before. You know everything, so teach me."
"No."
"You just supported me, aren't we good friends? Have you ever heard of what is called 'once sisters, always sisters'?"
Never. Who are good sisters to you, this little countrified goose?
Diana Swift gave a "please stop immediately" look.
Betty Miller, however, held her back and threatened her with the fact that she was in the men's toilet. She dragged her to her car, saying to show her the luxury apartment she had bought downtown.
Along the way, Diana Swift was pestered by Betty Miller and told a lot of gossip, which made Betty Miller stunned.
When they entered the apartment elevator, they were still talking about a model couple. Betty Miller asked in surprise, "Is that ture? I thought they were very loving, but as you put it, everyone gets what they need, and not many people truly love each other."
Diana Swift was about to nod and tell her the painful fact that "reality is just like chicken feathers".
But after swiping the elevator card, Betty Miller corrected herself: "No, I think you and Josh Hunter are fine. Josh Hunter loves you so much."
...?
Diana Swift couldn't refute for a while.
Betty Miller's apartment was not far from Cedar Department, about ten minutes by car. It was also a prime location, but the commercial area here was denser and it would be a bit noisy at night.
But Betty Miller liked it very much herself, because all the milk tea shops she liked to drink were within a radius of 500 meters.
As soon as Diana Swift entered the door, she was shocked.
Betty Miller introduced her treasures to her, "How it looks? Look here, and there. I asked the designer to change it. It was originally a hardcover room, but the original design was too inhumane and ugly."
"Can the origin be more ugly than your changed one?" Diana Swift was dizzy for a few seconds, feeling like she was back to the 1990s, "Are you planning to open a farmhouse at home?" Looking at the ugly house that Betty Miller regarded as a treasure, she even don't know where to stand.
But Betty Miller was still very stubborn, pulling her back and forth to introduce her, who had no desire to visit, in an attempt to reverse her aesthetics.
Diana Swift stopped in front of the bookcase and looked at the books inside: "My Secret Makeup Technique", "How to Catch His Heart", "How to Become a Temperament Beauty", "One Hundred Ways to Improve Emotional Intelligence", "The Cold President of the Offline Angel", "The Domineering School Boy Wants to Hug"...
Seeing Diana Swift staring at the book with the name "President", Betty Miller even took it out and stuffed it for her, "The name is a bit ugly, but it's actually quite nice. Just look."
Diana Swift couldn't avoid it, and looked disgusted, "Go away, I never read this kind of thing. What kind of taste do you have?"
Betty Miller: "You really don't read it? How can there be girls who don't read romance novels? You are too strange."
I don't read romance novels but not this kind of ancient boring one, okay? Diana Swift slandered with an expressionless face.
After visiting the ugly house, the two sat on the sofa chatting again.
Diana Swift always had no concept of time. As long as she is not sleepy, she can open her eyes until dawn.
It was Betty Miller who reminded suddenly, "It's almost twelve o'clock, do you need to send a message to your husband to report? He will worry about you if you haven't gone back so late."
Diana Swift subconsciously wanted to say, "He's not my boss, so why I give him a report", but in order not to break the last hope of the little countrified goose for a good marriage, she made a perfunctory "um" and opened WeChat again.
The chat records of Diana Swift and Josh Hunter were still on the last flttering.
Betty Miller glanced, but she didn't see it all. She sighed in surprise and envy, "I can't see that your husband can talk so well."
Diana Swift: "..."
She thought if she just followed Betty Miller's intention and reported to Josh Hunter that she hadn't gone back, Josh Hunter's brain circuit would probably think that her sudden report was implying that she had been kidnapped.
Then what should she say first and then go to the topic?
She remembered the noodles that Josh Hunter cooked, and had an idea.
Diana Swift: [What did you eat tonight?]
After posting it, Diana Swift admired it for herself. It's a good, normal conversation, and it didn't seem like she is inexplicably enthusiastic. And the cute tone would give Betty Miller the illusion that "our husband and wife relationship is really good".
After about three minutes, Josh Hunter really replied to her letter.
Josh Hunter: [I didn't eat.]
When Betty Miller saw the news, she first had a question mark in her head, and then excitedly said: "Why is your husband so cute? It turns out that he is this type in private, and I really can't see it at all."
She hurriedly pushed Diana Swift and urged: "He said he didn't eat, so he must have wanted you to comfort him, please reply!"
Diana Swift's back was numb, and she felt that tonight's Josh Hunter was so cute as if his account had been stolen.
In the next second, new news came in on WeChat.
Cen Sen: [ I ate bamboo shoots.]
Betty Miller & Diana Swift: "..."
The ugly room was silent, and they went through a series of psychological processes from being confused, to vaguely understanding something, to suddenly realizing it.
Looking at each other for three seconds, Diana Swift saw from Betty Miller's eyes, "Don't say that I'm countrified in the future, your husband is more countrified than me", "Doesn't your husband need to be connected to the Internet in work?" These two complex emotions were full of superiority and unbelief. .
-
Josh Hunter had a dinner party with the Japanese partner tonight. Half of the dishes on the table were local, and half were to suit the partner's appetite. But he didn't like both very much. He only had one dish of braised bamboo shoots, and he put down chopsticks a few times.
It was late at night when the entertainment ended, the cold wind blew away most of the tipsy feeling, and there were no stars in the night sky.
When he got home, Josh Hunter found that Diana Swift had returned.
When he received news from Diana Swift earlier, he also asked Sam Rodriguez where his wife was at night. Sam Rodriguez said that she went to Gene Hall's birthday party at night, and then went to Betty Miller's apartment. Josh Hunter thought that a party animal like Diana Swift would not return tonight.
Diana Swift really didn't plan to go back, but firstly Betty Miller's apartment was so ugly that it was difficult to sleep, and secondly, she managed to hold a handle of Josh Hunter, and planned to come back and wait for her husband to make fun of him.
She wanted to lie down in bed and read novels after taking a shower, but fell asleep unknowingly.
Josh Hunter glanced at her, but didn't pay any attention.
When he finished taking a shower, Diana Swift had already changed her posture to occupy the bed, but she still held the phone tightly in her hand.
He walked to the bed, hugged Diana Swift easily, put her in a regular posture, and then wanted to take the phone away from her hand.
Diana Swift woke up at this moment.
She opened her eyes drowsily, looked at Josh Hunter, and then looked at the screen time, but her consciousness was not fully awake at all. She rolled over and went back to sleep.
When she turned over, she automatically released the phone, and when she opened her eyes just now, she unintentionally unlocked the phone's face recognition.
When it was in Josh Hunter's hands, the screen just stopped on the Weibo interface before she went to bed.
To be precise, it was not a Weibo interface, but an advertising novel interface pushed by Weibo.
Josh Hunter glanced.
"When Gary took out Lizzy's bone marrow and kidneys, Lizzy's heart was already dead. Three years later, Lizzy returned to Q City. She originally wanted to live a peaceful life, but the indifferent and ruthless imperial commander hugged her tightly, 'Woman, do you want to escape? You can't escape my palm in this life.' Lizzy's eyes were full of fear, 'You took my marrow and kidneys away. Are them not enough?' 'Not enough, I want your heart'..."
Josh Hunter paused, not knowing what he was thinking, he even clicked on the first picture and browsed it.
Diana Swift didn't seem to be sleeping very well. She just turned over and back after a while. The quilt was tightly wrapped, and her bare arms were exposed, covering the position of her heart.
Josh Hunter: "..."
