Chapter 944 - The Story of Ling and Heng (207) (1/2)

Feng Mingzhu’s expression instantly stiffened.

This was because Feng Ling’s tone was not agitated whatsoever, nor did she appear to be flustered. She was composed and indifferent, as though she didn’t particularly take offense to anything. The stark contrast between them caused Feng Mingzhu’s behaviour to appear especially out of line.

“Feng Ling, I heard that you weren’t especially popular in the base. During training and examinations, you’re always full of tricks, causing everyone to dislike you. Don’t think that your small cleverness is useful with Nanheng. One day, when he sees through you, it’ll be useless even if you kneel down by his feet. The XI Base also won’t dare to keep you…”

When she saw that Feng Ling was finally watching her properly, Feng Mingzhu felt that she had managed to win this round. A smile appeared on her face. “Although XI Base has its own rules, as long as it’s something I wish to know, there’s nothing I can’t find out. In the past, I really never took a brat like you into consideration. But I never thought you would actually dare to stay in Nanheng’s place. I heard the people from your base say that you’ve always enjoyed clinging onto the men in your base. Look at that feminine appearance of yours. You can’t be a gay right; do you prefer men?”

“Cousin…” Why were her words becoming more and more out of line? Even Qin Shuke, who stood by the side, felt awkward.

The Feng Mingzhu she was familiar with, although she could at times be a little dominating, actually wasn’t bad. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, these sort of clashes would only occur between love rivals. But this handsome boy was a boy, ah. Was there a need to target her so much? Furthermore, she was acting as though she wouldn’t give up until she successfully chased him away…

“Shuke, do you know why I brought you here today? I wanted you to take a good look at the handsome boy you’ve always liked. I think you’ve become infatuated with the wrong person. There’s an eighty percent chance he likes men. He is completely uninterested in women. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he show any reaction to a youthful and beautiful girl like you?” Feng Mingzhu smiled mockingly as she continued. “It seems like all sorts of people now have the courage to enter the XI Base. In the future, I should really properly inform the elderly at the Li family about this. We can’t let a gay, who isn’t a boy or a girl, ruin the XI Base’s outstanding reputation…”

“That’s not true. I’ve never really pursued him. I only asked for his phone number twice, but was rejected. Cousin, don’t misunderstand this. I didn’t take it to heart.” Qin Shuke furrowed her brows.

Feng Mingzhu faltered. She abruptly swerved around to glare at her: “Whose side are you standing on? You’re favouring this boy over your own cousin?”

“…” Qin Shuke’s expression was filled with innocence and embarrassment:.”No, I’m obviously on your side, but I don’t have any unhappiness with this handsome boy. I can’t say those words. I do like him, but I haven’t requested for him to do anything with me. Besides, he has always been very accommodating to me…”

Feng Mingzhu’s expression worsened.

Her face said it all; she had brought Qin Shuke along to help her, but who would have thought that Qin Shuke’s loyalty would be leaning out of the fence.

Feng Ling casually brought her phone out to check the time. She deliberated over it and felt that, since she didn’t have much to do, she wasn’t concerned about wasting time. She placed her phone back in her pocket and lifted her head, silently and calmly watching this woman who had come to stir up trouble. Her eyes were filled with scorn.
