Chapter 210 - Getting Jealous While Fighting For Attention (2/2)
Li Xianxian had an ominous premonition. Was this woman going to play a dirty trick? No, she could not fall victim to her trap! Unfortunately, she was too late.
Just as Li Xianxian was about to make a move, Tang Xia lifted one hand slowly and rested it on her hips. The other hand was hanging down naturally. Her long, slender arms looked as if they were carved out of white jade, and her legs were naturally crossed.
Her skin looked as if it had just been soaked in milk. It was smooth and tender. She stood with her chest and head up high, her confident look causing the surrounding girls’ faces to fall. She slowly exposed her collarbone as she breathed. Even her belly button looked like it had been carved out diligently by a sculptor.
The small amount of cloth covered the parts that should be covered, and the faintly-outlined figure looked even more tempting and fatal.
Li Xianxian suddenly realized what that act was all about. She was using her as a stepping stone!
Li Xianxian looked at Tang Xia, who was showing off her figure to Chu Tianjiao. She was so furious that she wanted to just charge forward and tear down the little amount of cloth on her. However, she knew very well that this was Li Xianxian. How could she do such a superficial thing?
“Tianjiao!”
Tang Xia and the surrounding girls were all startled by this sticky, greasy voice that sounded deliberately cute. Li Xianxian’s voice also distracted Chu Tianjiao, who had been admiring Tang Xia’s figure, and brought him back to reality.
When he finally snapped back to reality, he only saw Li Xianxian running towards him with a pitiful expression. Chu Tianjiao frowned.
“What’s wrong?”
Li Xianxian threw herself at him directly, but Chu Tianjiao obviously did not want to get close to her. Although Li Xianxian felt awkward instantly, she quickly reacted.
“They are bullying me! Look! They only gave me a pathetic gauze!”
Chu Tianjiao followed the direction she was pointing at and took a look. Without saying a word, he turned to look at Tang Xia, who was standing aside. Tang Xia was startled. Was she supposed to do something at this point in time? After all, her strategy for the day was seduction…
La Chapelle instantly wanted to approach Li Xianxian and give her a tight slap. Didn’t Tang Xia have a lesser material? However, Tang Xia was not crying and pretending to be all sorrowful just to gain his pity.
She dared to assume that if Tang Xia were to act pitiful, it would be an easy task for her.
Tang Xia, who had prepared herself for a while, looked up at Chu Tianjiao. She suddenly smiled and walked up to him.
“Look at my outfit today. Does it look good?”
Chu Tianjiao was dumbfounded. Indeed, he could tell that Tang Xia looked a little different today. However, he could not pinpoint exactly how.
Right now, Tang Xia’s shy face looked like a wild rose whose torn had finally been plucked out by him. Was she trying to act cute in front of him?
Chu Tianjiao had so many questions in his heart, yet he did not show them on his face. He only looked at her and then at Li Xianxian, his gaze wandering between the two of them. He eventually looked at Li Xianxian.
“Even though it’s just a piece of pathetic gauze, you are still the most beautiful person here.”
Li Xianxian was elated beyond words! Chu Tianjiao pulled her into his embrace swiftly.
Tang Xia had not expected that her first effort to act cute and seduce someone would be pointless. La Chapelle, who had witnessed the whole scene from the sidelines, was also shocked that Chu Tianjiao had chosen Li Xianxian. After all, in his place, she would have chosen Tang Xia.
As Li Xianxian was busking in happiness and Tang Xia and La Chapelle were frowning deeply, there seemed to be a commotion by the window.
Chu Tianjiao looked in the window’s direction and shoved Li Xianxian away. The crowd looked and saw that a girl was trying to jump out of the window.
Tang Xia and La Chapelle were shocked. They both glanced at each other and remained silent. They looked at Chu Tianjiao, who was standing beside them, in confusion. What was going on?
Two maids ran forward suddenly and tried to drag the girl down by her arms. Tang Xia frowned. Chu Tianjiao’s expression was blank and cold. He watched the scene unfold before his eyes in silence.
The girl’s reaction was very intense as she swung the two maids’ hands away.
She shouted, “I don’t care if I die, I just don’t want to become a walking zombie!”
The room fell silent. Only the girl’s cries and the sound of other people breathing could be heard. The air was as silent as if it was frozen. They all watched the girl in silence, as if she was already a dead person in their eyes.
“Then let her die.”
As Chu Tianjiao looked at the girl, a cold smile formed on his lips. The two maids charged forward again and slammed the girl down violently.
The girl fell onto the ground in pain, the skin on her arm peeling off due to the friction. However, Chu Tianjiao did not treat her gently at all. He coldly watched her get dragged out.
The room was scarily silent. All the girls were too afraid to speak. While Tang Xia watched the girl being dragged, her heart could not stop shivering in fear.
