Modern Volume Chapter 9 Can Only Rely on Oneself
Recovering from shock and regret, Luo Kai heard the murmurs of the crowd around him and pointed at Zuo Xiao Yao with a furious expression, "Zuo Xiao Yao, are you crazy? Who I want to have coffee with is my business, what does it have to do with you, why...?"
Ding Ya, with a face full of grievances and tears streaming down her face, wiped the coffee off her head and face with a handkerchief. Zuo Xiao Yao retorted in anger, "Luo Kai, who you have coffee with is none of my business, but you and Ding Ya are actually causing a disturbance in this grand hall, corrupting public morals and damaging righteousness! As an onlooker, I won't stand for it! I'll expose you! Everyone, judge for yourselves, have you ever seen such shameless people? Luo Kai does something disgusting and still acts self-righteously. Ding Ya is the third party who was discovered, she has the nerve to cry, thinking I shouldn't have found out, did I make her suffer injustice? Sorry, I'm a straightforward person, I just can't stand those who dare to do shameless things but don't dare admit it. They need to be dragged out into the sunlight and exposed!..."
Zuo Xiaoyao, who couldn't stop criticizing them like a string of firecrackers, was met with mocking gazes from the crowd. Lu Ke, whose face had turned green with rage, dragged away Ding Ya, who was covering her face and sobbing uncontrollably, attempting to leave. As they were stopped by the waiter, Lu Ke threw out two 100-yuan bills while shouting "We're breaking up! I never want to see you again! Look at the kind of friends you've made - not a shred of decency among them!"
The crowd, who had perked up their ears and wished they had two more eyes to see with, burst out laughing after a brief moment of stunned silence. Luo Kai, who had only just realized what he was saying, hastily retreated to the door, stopped for a moment, and then quickly dragged Ding Ya outside in a frantic rush, ignoring the cries of pain from the beauty in high heels who had twisted her ankle.
Walking out of the coffee shop, Wang Zijia, who had completely calmed down, grasped Left Xiaoyao's hand with tears in her eyes and said "Thank you, Xiaoyao, just now... I was really stunned, I don't know what's wrong with this world, why such ridiculous things always happen to me, I..."
"Reality is like that, because we always have high expectations of it, so we always feel disappointed. We should thank it for letting us see the truth earlier, not only will there be less loss, but also remind us to be more cautious in the future and avoid making mistakes of misjudging people again!"
Zuo Xiao Yao let out a sigh of deep emotion, though her mouth was speaking words of comfort, she was also reminding herself to be more mindful of all this.
Because of Xu Zuo's previous outstanding performance, the couple was indeed punished. Compared to when she first discovered that scene, Wang Zi Jia's mood now can be described as relieved and happy. There is nothing more comforting than hating someone so much that you want to perish with them, only to see them receive their due punishment the next moment, leaving in disarray. Even though she was previously abandoned and betrayed, a rather pitiful person, from now on, she can hold her head high and look down on them from the bottom of her heart, ignoring those who will carry the shadow of this incident for the rest of their lives!
No matter how common this phenomenon of betrayal and being betrayed is, or what the starting point is, almost everyone will like to stand on high ground with righteous words to despise the protagonist who has been exposed in public for their ugly truth. This even includes some people who are doing the same thing, let alone under Zuo Xiaoyao's intentional emphasis, those two can really be said to have 'made a name'!
In the following days, every time Wang Zijia called Zuo Xiaoyao, she would mention that someone knew about what happened in the coffee shop. No one comforted her with a sympathetic tone for being heartbroken; instead, they were all celebrating for her. This result made her very satisfied. The pain of being betrayed was almost covered up by this complicated emotion. Except for occasionally feeling sad and cursing a few sentences, Wang Zijia's emotions gradually recovered again. Having had previous experiences, she recovered faster this time.
The human heart is very fragile, when it has been hurt continuously, there are only two outcomes. One is to sink into the pain and become submerged in it until one's dying breath. The other is that because of those hurts, the heart will grow harder, its self-healing power will become stronger, until finally, even knives and guns can't penetrate it!
While working hard, in her free time, Zuo Xiao Yao would also think about Wang Zi Jia's parents' 'concerns' and what their purpose was. Was it really for the sake of the Purple Venerable Three Treasures as she had guessed? But those things were only mentioned by her grandmother before she passed away as part of her dowry, and before that, there was no mention of their true purpose. Even if she unintentionally stored them in her mind, without the reminder from the woman in purple clothes, she wouldn't have known the true use and method of using these three treasures.
Two months later, when Zuo Xiaoyao realized that another 'dam' had been broken through in her body, she was certain that she had successfully advanced to the middle stage of Naqi, and the airflow in her Dantian had doubled.
It can also release a nameless kung fu technique that comes with the air intake stage, which is a technique that can be cultivated - Water Arrow Technique. This is a technique that can completely harm people's lives without being seen. Although Zuo Xiao Yao doesn't think she has the opportunity to use it, under the novelty, as soon as she has time, she will keep casting this technique until she consumes the air flow in her dantian, and then continue to cultivate. In this way, not only can she use the Water Arrow Technique very flexibly and quickly, but also when the air flow in her body is consumed, when she cultivates again, the air flow in her dantian will increase slightly, and the cultivation speed will also be greatly accelerated.
The more she cultivated, the greater her interest in cultivation became. From what happened to Wang Xiangjia, Zuo Xiaoyao once again confirmed one thing: rely on a mountain and it will collapse; rely on water and it will dry up; in this world, the only thing that can be relied upon is oneself!
Having finished today's work, it was just time to get off work, and I was about to pack up my things when my phone rang. Looking at the flashing number on the screen, Li Xiaoyao felt a headache coming on - it was her former boss Jerry again.
At first, upon learning that her grandmother's days were numbered, Zuo Xiaoyao endured the pain and wanted to spend more time with her grandmother after quitting her previous job. Although her former boss Jerry repeatedly emphasized that she could return to work at any time, Zuo Xiaoyao felt embarrassed, so she decided not to go back and found another job instead.
Since he found out she was working at Jin Hui and had already signed the contract, Jerry would occasionally ask her out to dinner under the pretext of gathering with old colleagues. Since the two companies were not too far apart, and she felt a bit guilty for having let him down earlier, she agreed to go twice, mainly to discuss work-related matters. After all, Jin Hui also had cooperative projects with his company, and Xiao Yu's work was beneficial to both parties, so they got along quite easily.
Once the frequency increased, the relationship was redefined by Jerry from former colleagues to current friends. However, Zuo Xiaoyao is not good at socializing and doesn't like to talk about her mundane life. As a result, she found it hard to cope with these social interactions. Although she had refused several times, she couldn't decline every invitation. Looking at the still flashing phone, she felt somewhat helpless!
