955 You Aren’t Doing as Well as You Wish, Aren’t You? (1/2)
Zhan Qing Feng was impressive; even in the face of Miao Xiao Miao's sarcasm, he could still retain his warm and affable image. He said gently, ”Little Sister Xiao Miao has exaggerated. I said earlier, the bet we made has not begun yet. So naturally there is no need to talk about this. Since Little Sister Xiao Miao has suggested to call it off as it is, then this Brother shall comply to his younger sister's wishes and end this agreement. Actually, it is better this way; we can avoid hurting the harmony between us.”
From start to end, he kept harping on the fact that 'the bet has not begun'. It's meaning was clear; as long as the bet has not started, then he was not going back on his words!
As to before… that was just a verbal agreement, and it did not count as anything. Not only that, he had 'sold' Miao Xiao Miao a favor, calling off the bet. Those who did not know will think that he was extremely magnanimous, letting things go when victory was clearly in his hands!
As expected, those who were shameless are invincible!
A vague smile appeared in the corner of Miao Xiao Miao's lips. ”First Young Master Zhan is truly magnanimous. This younger Sister offers her thanks for leaving mercy. If First Young Master Zhan has the opportunity someday to contest with that Young Master Mo, then this little Sister sincerely wishes you to return with great victory.”
A look of faint anger flashed across Zhan Qing Feng's handsome face. With his ability and wisdom, how could he not tell that Miao Xiao Miao was mocking him sarcastically? But he did not say anything else; no one present was a fool, and they all knew that he was the one in the wrong and had acted shamelessly afterwards. So he could only suck it up while the other party mocked him. Otherwise, it'd be more embarrassing for himself.
He sulked inwardly and thought to himself. How dare you, foolish sharp-tongued lass.
This young master can't be bothered to deal with you now; I'll allow you to be arrogant once. When you marry into the Zhan Family in the future, I'll teach you a lesson!
”Since the bet has been called off, then this little Sister shall take her leave now. I had thought that I would be able to watch a good show here today, but I didn't imagine that the outcome would be so disappointing! My good mood for so many years has finally all been ruined.” She sighed as she shook her head.
Miao Xiao Miao's tone was full of genuine disappointment and melancholy.
For so many years, she had always thought that despite the numerous debauchees in the Zhan Family, this First Young Master of the Zhan Family, publicly known as the number one young master in Misty Illusory Manor, Zhan Qing Feng, was different from the rest. And she had sincerely viewed him as an elder brother.
Even the so-called bet they had was merely a harmless little joke between them…
But today, in the face of 'absolute' interests, that genial face of Zhan Qing Feng had suddenly become extremely foreign, to the point that she didn't dare to register it as him! And this was Zhan Qing Feng's true colors!
So everything before, was merely his way of hiding his true self… Not a single bit of it was sincere at all!
Miao Xiao Miao felt hurt and sincerely sad…
The existence she had always viewed as an older brother, in the face of interests, was capable of such a thorough betrayal!
Women were emotional creatures. No matter how intelligent or clever she was, she was unable to escape from this weird circle beyond their comprehension. Unless she experienced it personally, she would never be able to understand how it felt!
Miao Xiao Miao did not manage to win the stakes that were already in her hand today, but she managed to truly see someone's true colors and tasted the bitter taste of emotions!
Zhan Qing Feng pretended to ask her to stay, but Miao Xiao Miao insisted on leaving. First Young Master Zhan also felt a little ashamed, so he did not try to force her to stay. But when Miao Xiao Miao had just turned around to leave, a clear and joyous voice suddenly rang out.
”Aiyaya, I heard that all you young masters had set up a banquet for this younger brother, and I was afraid that I would appear rude so I specially made a trip back for a change of clothes. Then I quickly rushed over, but I didn't expect such a grand occasion! It really was not a wasted trip ah!”
That legendary prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique, Young Master Mo, Mo Jun Ye, walked in, beaming from ear to ear, seemingly overwhelmed by the honor. He looked at the dazzling displays of the lodge and exclaimed in amazement. He said, embarrassed, ”Aiyaya, this scale… is really too grand. Young Masters, Brother, Ahaha, actually your thoughts would be enough. Simple will do; why go through all the fuss? This… this… I really feel bad about this ah…”
Two glints of chilling glow appeared in Zhan Qing Feng's eyes, and he almost exploded from anger!
If you f*cker had come a step earlier, then I wouldn't have to make myself a despicable person before Miao Xiao Miao and everyone else! Then I wouldn't need to go back on my words and swallow what I've said!
And I can even make use of this country bumpkin to make Miao Xiao Miao lose her bet and not only cut off Miao Xiao Miao's hopes of entering the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, but make use of this to make the number one beauty in the Misty Illusory Manor one of my concubines! And I could use this as an opportunity to slowly devour all of the Miao Family's forces…
But just because this b*stard came a step late, everything that I had planned went down the drain!
