Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 395: Poor Imitation

"Of course I remember." Gu Xingruo's eyes darkened.

The things that happened before are still vivid in my mind.

Every time she wanted to do something, Xia Ning would get there before her.

It was clearly her who planned the confession, but this woman suddenly appeared and even forcefully kissed Xu Wen, which took her a long time to recover and her confession plan went down the drain.

The second time was even more outrageous.

While she was still thinking about what reason she could use to find Xu Wen during the holidays, Xu Wen simply disappeared.

Finally, she found Xu Wen, who had been missing for a long time, in a rental house.

He was imprisoned by Xia Ning.

Both incidents were extremely horrific and she can still remember them vividly.

It can be said that whenever Xia Ning appears, nothing good will happen.

Gu Xingruo took a deep breath and made herself forget everything that had happened before. Then she continued, "But this time is different."

"How is it different? She clearly wants to get close to Xu Wen under the guise of work!" Cao Yanan on the other end of the video said indignantly, while applying essence on her face and crumpling up the mask paper and throwing it aside.

She looked a little annoyed: "You are so calm now. Do you remember that time on the playground during your freshman year? You two almost got into a fight. I think you should go fight her now. Are you still the same Gu Xingruo?"

Cao Yanan looked as if he was disappointed with his friend.

In her eyes, best friends have many images, but no matter what image they are, they are not like this one.

Gu Xingruo picked up the Coke again and took a big gulp. After drinking it, a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

After drinking it, she crushed the Coke bottle in a few strokes.

Then, accompanied by a silky parabola, it was accurately thrown into a trash can not far away.

Such a bold way of drinking forms a huge contrast with the delicate makeup on her face.

Gu Xingruo did not rush to respond to what her best friend had just said, but chose to change the subject.

She suddenly said, "Yanan, do you still remember when I invested in Huagong Education just after graduating from high school?"

At that time, Xu Wen was not yet a president. He was a teacher at Huagong Education.

Gu Xingruo simply invested in Huagong Education.

At that time, she had two main considerations.

One is to make money quickly, prove himself to his father, and then stay in Linjiang.

The second point is to establish a conflict of interest with Xu Wen.

This is what Yang Yiyao taught her.

Cao Yanan was stunned for a moment: "Remember, you also asked Xu Wen to be an investor, wait..."

She suddenly realized it and her eyes widened: "Are you saying that Xia Ning is imitating you?"

"Smart." Gu Xingruo snapped his fingers, looking quite proud.

In the past, she was the one who needed guidance from a military advisor.

Now I can see things that the military advisor cannot see.

What is this called?
This is called growth.

"She's learned her lesson and knows that direct pestering is useless, so she's switched to business cooperation. After all, who can refuse a legitimate working relationship? Just like he couldn't refuse my investment in the first place." She raised her lips with a sarcastic smile.

Xia Ning's move was too familiar, exactly the same as what she had done before.

Cao Yanan whistled, and the expression on her face changed from anger to surprise: "Not bad, Ruoruo, now you don't even need me to be your military advisor. You can see through the enemy's tactics by yourself. It seems that you have made great progress in the past six months."

It’s scary to watch your friends grow up.

This made her suddenly feel old again and time was passing by very quickly.

She clearly remembered that she was only eighteen years old this year, but in the blink of an eye she was already twenty.

Gu Xingruo walked back to the bed.

She wanted to open another can of Coke, but after thinking about it, she picked up the water cup on the bedside. She didn't drink much, just took a sip to moisten her throat.

"People always have to grow up. Xia Ning thought that this would allow her to get close to Xu Wen again, but she forgot one thing." Gu Xingruo's voice was low and firm.

"What's the matter?" Cao Yanan curiously moved closer to the screen, almost putting her face close to the camera.

She was very curious about what Gu Xingruo would say next.

"Now I am Xu Wen's girlfriend." Gu Xingruo's red lips curled up in a confident arc, which looked particularly bright under the light.

She stretched out her left hand, with a couple ring on her ring finger: "Besides, I plan to help her."

Cao Yanan almost fell off her chair after hearing this: "Are you crazy? Help her? Have you forgotten what she did in the first place? Are you being too chaste? You can't stand seeing such a poor little thing."

She began to retract her thoughts.

This is not growth, this is clearly madness.

"That's right." Gu Xingruo shook her fingers, and the couple ring sparkled under the light.

She interrupted her bestie and said firmly, "I'm going to offer to help promote her new book, contact media resources, and even..."

Gu Xingruo paused for a moment, a sly smile appeared on her face: "Invite her to join my reading club."

Cao Yanan was stunned when she heard this: "When did you have a reading club? Why haven't I seen you read any novels?"

"It will be there tomorrow." Gu Xingruo blinked mischievously, like a child who had done something bad.

"You are awesome." Cao Yanan was speechless. Gu Xingruo raised a finger in front of the video: "Yanan, do you know what is the best way to defeat your opponent? It is not to stop her, but to help her, with a superior attitude."

Cao Yanan was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, the sound of which echoed through the loudspeaker in the empty bedroom: "Ruoruo, you are such a genius! Xia Ning wants to get close to Xu Wen through work relationships, so you can use the same method to make her remember who is the real girlfriend at all times!"

She immediately understood what her best friend meant.

It doesn't look like a Madonna syndrome.

Now she felt relieved.

"Not only that, I also want Xu Wen to see how mature and generous I am. In comparison, any little thoughts of Xia Ning will seem childish and ridiculous." Gu Xingruo looked confident of winning.

Faced with the same situation, Xia Ning adopted the most extreme means.

And she, Gu Xingruo, still pretended nothing had happened and even actively cooperated.

Xu Wen must be able to tell who is the most suitable person to be a girlfriend.

Cao Yanan on the other end of the video suddenly became quiet and his expression became serious: "But are you really not worried? After all, they were together before."

Gu Xingruo's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her confidence.

She put down what she was holding, walked to the dressing table and began to remove her makeup.

The girl in the mirror had blonde hair and a determined look in her eyes.

The Gu Xingruo who cried hysterically a year ago seemed like a long time ago.

"What are you worried about? I'm not the same person I was before, and Xu Wen is no longer the same Xu Wen. We've all changed, and..." She picked up the makeup remover cotton and gently wiped off the foundation on her face.

She looked down at the ring on her left ring finger: "The relationship between us is not something Xia Ning can easily shake."

Cao Yanan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that you have really changed. If it were before, you would have rushed to tear that scheming woman to pieces."

"Brutalism won't solve the problem." Gu Xingruo put down the makeup remover cotton and looked at her face in the mirror, which was gradually becoming plainer.

Xu Wen taught her this principle countless times.

Memories from a year ago come to mind.

Her confrontation with Xia Ning on the playground of Linda University, and Xu Wen's tired and disappointed eyes.

At that moment, she realized for the first time what she might lose because of her willfulness.

"This time I'm going to defeat Xia Ning by using the area where she's best at. I'm also going to be a scheming woman." She was very confident.

Cao Yanan was very surprised when she heard this. This was totally not something Gu Xingruo would say.

But it sounds very reassuring.

"By the way, does your dad know about this?" she said suddenly, her expression turning serious.

Gu Xingruo paused for a moment, and the cotton pad rested on her cheek: "Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't, but nothing can be hidden from him. He probably doesn't want to get involved if he doesn't show up."

Her answer was ambiguous.

Cao Yanan made a face and said, "I thought Uncle Gu would just buy the publishing house and remove Xia Ning's book from the shelves to avenge you."

"He would never do such a thing, and I can handle this matter." Gu Xingruo wiped off her lipstick and looked at her face in the mirror which was gradually becoming plainer.

After the video call, Gu Xingruo took a long hot bath.

She lay in the bathtub, the scent of rose oil filling the steam.

After closing her eyes, she recalled Xu Wen's expression during dinner.

Xu Wen was so normal and calm, without a single flaw on his face.

But it was this calmness that made her feel something was wrong.

She had liked him for four years, almost five years, and she knew him too well.

A person changes very quickly, but there are always some things that remain unchanged.

His calm expression and tone showed that Xia Ning's appearance did have an impact on him.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't care about these things.

After drying her body, Gu Xingruo changed into a silk nightgown and lay down on the bed.

She picked up her phone and sent a QQ message to Xu Wen: "Are you asleep? I'm thinking about the promotion of Xia Ning's new book. Do you want me to contact my friends at the magazine tomorrow? They have a writer column next month."

Less than a minute after the message was sent, Xu Wen replied: "Don't bother, just do it as usual."

Gu Xingruo raised the corner of her mouth and continued typing: "It's not a problem. I know their editor-in-chief anyway, so I'll just consider it as promoting my own company."

This time Xu Wen responded a little slower: "If you really want to help, you can ask, but don't force it."

Gu Xingruo could almost imagine him typing with a frown on his brow.

She quickly replied: "Don't worry, leave it to me! Good night, have a sweet dream."

A love emoticon was added at the end.

Putting down her phone, Gu Xingruo turned off the bedside lamp and opened her eyes in the darkness. She did not draw the curtains, and the moonlight from outside the window poured in, making the room very bright.

She remembered that when she was in high school, Xia Ning always sat quietly in the corner of the classroom, looking quiet and beautiful on the surface.

Gu Xingruo really couldn't imagine that a girl like this would end up doing that kind of thing.

The madness in the rental house was an expression she had never seen before.

This incident not only affected Xu Wen and Xia Ning, but also changed her.

"This time, it's my turn to write the ending." Gu Xingruo murmured to herself, then closed her eyes.
