Chapter 160 Did You Really Know Yourself?
"You are..." Lisa really didn't recognize Vivian.
Vivian assumed she was an old friend, smiling and patting Lisa's shoulder. "Do you forget me? I'm Vivian!"
Lisa and Evelyn both fell silent.
Vivian was really good at building relationships!
Back then, Vivian was not familiar with Lisa. To be precise, Vivian had more male friends in college, and when it came to female friends, it was all about whether there were any benefits to be gained. Otherwise, she would only bother talking a little with female classmates.
At that time, Evelyn had little social experience and didn't know how bad Vivian was. Vivian took the initiative to befriend Evelyn, actively showing goodwill to Evelyn. Evelyn thought Vivian was naturally so kind-hearted, sincerely treating Vivian as a friend, not realizing that Vivian had long been plotting and calculating against her.
Now, it was probably because she saw that Lisa was Matthew's daughter, deliberately trying to show closeness.
Seeing Lisa's lack of response, Vivian felt a bit embarrassed, but Vivian's personality showed that she wasn't one to easily back down in embarrassment. She quickly turned her gaze to Evelyn. "Don't you remember? We used to be roommates. We often ate and played together."
When it came to food, Lisa's eyes lit up, and she noddedrepeatedly. "Yes, the food at the school gate is really delicious. I haven't been able to eat it since I came back. When you mentioned it, I really wanted to drool."
Smoothly picking up the conversation, Vivian sat down next to Lisa. "It's still there. The boss has handed the business over to his son due to his age, but the taste remains the same. Whenever you have the chance, I'll treat you!"
"Really?" Lisa was excited. "I really want to fly back now to eat!"
"Then let's go back together! It's been a long time since you've been here. Lindwood City has changed a lot. I'll take you around when the time comes. You can take your time to look and eat many other delicious foods."
As Vivian said, she glanced at Evelyn's expression, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Vivian thought, 'It's quite simple to pretend to be close and build relationships with a little girl. I found something Lisa liked and was interested in talking about. She may also be someone who can help me.'
Lisa nodded repeatedly but suddenly turned to Evelyn and said, "Then, you must treat me to lots of delicious food when the time comes!"
Vivian fell silent.
Evelyn gave Vivian a cold look, then slowly said, "No problem."
"Evelyn, the tasting competition is tomorrow. Are you leaving after it's over? Stay a few more days here. I can take you to some fun places. By the way, you haven't been to my house yet. I'll take you there to play!" Lisa said.
Thinking Lisa was really enthusiastic, Evelyn smiled. "Don't worry. I won't leave so soon. I still have to stay for a few more days. We'll have the chance to meet again."
"That's right! Since we're in touch now, even if I miss you, I can find you anytime!" After a moment of thought, Lisa took out her phone and said, "Oh, let's exchange WhatsApp numbers!"
Evelyn was a bit surprised. "You have WhatsApp?"
"Yes! I even watch short videos. Don't think I'm so outdated!" Lisa actively added Evelyn's WhatsApp number.
Vivian quickly took out her phone and opened WhatsApp, moving closer. "Yes, let's exchange contacts for convenience in the future."
However, before Vivian could add her, Lisa had already put her phone away. "Alright, I should go back now, or my dad will be looking for me. Let's keep in touch!"
"Lisa, I haven't..." Vivian hurriedly stood up, but Lisa didn't even look at Vivian. She just waved goodbye to Evelyn and quickly ran off in another direction.
Seeing Lisa getting further away, Vivian clenched her phone tightly, wishing she could crush it.
"You want to take anyone for a ride, but not everyone will let themselves be used by you. Don't end up failing!" Evelyn taunted.
"Evelyn, what right do you have to judge me? Do you think you've attached yourself to Samuel? Aren't you, like me, using relationships? What pretense of aloofness do you assume?" Completely ignored by Lisa, Vivian was very embarrassed and vented her anger at Evelyn.
Vivian thought, 'Evelyn is also building relationships but claiming herself to be independent. I just had bad luck this time and failed to be friends with Lisa. But it's okay. She's just a child, and she isn't my ultimate goal. Since Lisa couldn't be used, I will find another one.'
"A malicious person thinks everyone in the world is as malicious as her." Evelyn glanced at Vivian. "Do you really know yourself?"
"You!" Before Vivian could curse, Evelyn had already walked away with Olivia, leaving the venue.
Watching for a long time, Rosen slowly approached next to Vivian. "I thought you could really use Lisa."
Watching the figure in the distance, Vivian was angry. "What's the rush? I should calm down, or I'll easily make mistakes!"
"I'm afraid if you're not in a hurry, you will end up with nothing!" Rosen mocked Vivian, seeing through Vivian's thoughts.
He said to himself inwardly, 'Vivian is someone who is determined to succeed. For the sake of a mere formula, an annual competition award, she can sell her body to me, letting me do whatever I want. Now that she's seen Matthew, it is evident she wants to use Matthew.'
Rosen didn't care; after all, he had had enough fun and was seeking something new. However, Vivian's greed was something Rosen liked, and as Rosen and Vivian were of the same kind, perhaps Vivian could be well utilized.
Mocked by Rosen like this, Vivian turned to face him. "Don't talk about me. What about you? Dear Rosen, we've been here for a while now. How come I find that you're not as valued as you claim to be?"
While in Vistalia, Vivian was not about Rosen's status in the international circle. She thought Rosen had strength and ability, and following Rosen could gain some fame internationally. However, after coming here, Vivian sensitively discovered that Rosen didn't seem as impressive as she had imagined.
To put it bluntly, Rosen wasn't even considered a notable figure.
After all, the organizers here didn't value Rosen, and they didn't even bother to come over to offer a greeting. In other words, Rosen here was no different from anyone else.
Perhaps Rosen exaggerated the facts!
