Chapter 435: Chapter 415: Old Grudges and New Hatreds

Chang Xi silently praised Luo Qianqian for her excellent assist, completely grasping her intention.

In fact, Luo Qianqian was genuinely helping Ye Liang out of a tough spot, as anyone could tell by looking at his face that it was about to drip blood.

Chang Xi let go of her arms, and pretended to be dissatisfied with Luo Qianqian, "You child," she said, giving Luo Qianqian a wink.

Luo Qianqian looked utterly perplexed. What did that look mean?

Then she heard Chang Xi say, "Mind your own business when it comes to me and your brother, you little kid.

Putting together the wink from before, Luo Qianqian caught on and stood up, banging the table, "What’s up with that? Am I not part of the Luo Family? If you want to be with my brother, you have to ask if I agree first, hmph."

Then, seeing the admiration in Chang Xi’s eyes, Luo Qianqian got a bit confused. What now, another argument?

"Hmph, we’re going to order food. You can stay here and argue with the air!" Chang Xi said, dismissing Luo Qianqian and Feng Tianjiao as nothing and left the private room. In reality, ordering food in a private room was never that complicated. You just needed to call someone in.

Luo Qianqian understood what Chang Xi intended and began smashing cups, "You think you can enter my family’s house like this? Dream on!!!"

Feng Tianjiao watched the ceramic cup hit the door and shatter, a glint in his eye, and he consoled, "There’s no need to be angry. She’s just like that, no point in trying to talk to her."

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes inwardly but still said angrily, "Who doesn’t have a temper? If she crosses me, then she can forget entering my house!!!"

"Hehe, I’ll have the staff serve you two plates of limited-edition desserts later," Feng Tianjiao said as he sat beside Luo Qianqian, instantly causing her to get goosebumps.

All she heard next was Feng Tianjiao asking, "Did your brother really want to find me before? And then ended up going on a blind date with that woman?"

Luo Qianqian nodded, "Yeah, it was a classmate of yours from elementary school, what was her name... I can’t remember, but anyway, you were said to be the prettiest in class, and my brother wanted to see if you were single. He thought of dating you for a while to see how it goes. But then her grandpa came to visit my family, and just like that, he got involved and the whole thing fell through.

My brother is quite naive; once he’s set on someone, he won’t change his mind, and he’s very responsible. So, it turned out this way, and my grandfather told me to get along well with her..." Stopping there, Luo Qianqian felt that this was exactly what Chang Xi wanted her to say.

A flicker crossed Feng Tianjiao’s eyes, and he smiled, "Sister will have some desserts brought up for you, just sit tight."

Luo Qianqian obediently nodded, but her heart was pounding, unsure if she had understood the implication correctly.

No sooner had Feng Tianjiao left, Chang Xi came back alone.

Luo Qianqian blinked, "Why are you back alone? Where’s my brother?"

Chang Xi waved her hand, a mischievous smile on her face, "You are too clever, catching my meaning with just one glance."

Luo Qianqian blinked, "You don’t know what I actually said..."

But Chang Xi took a phone from beneath Ye Liang’s clothing on the seat and showed another phone in her hand, "How could I feel at ease letting you be alone with her? Now let’s see if she’ll take the bait."

"Are you letting her try to seduce Ye Liang?" Luo Qianqian blinked, "She’s too ugly; even if I were a guy, I couldn’t like her."

Chang Xi’s mouth curled into a smile, "That’s why you’re smart, starting with an elementary school classmate and bringing up this matter. She probably believes you, a little kid, ha ha."

It wasn’t long before Ye Liang returned with a dark face, followed shortly by Feng Tianjiao, who came in holding a plate of pastries, tears still in the corners of her eyes.

Chang Xi nudged Luo Qianqian, and Luo Qianqian immediately got into character, "Sister, why are you crying?"

Feng Tianjiao looked at Chang Xi, then at Ye Liang standing beside her, and began to cry. If a person were thinner and looked distressed, it would be considered charming like "pear blossoms bathed in rain," but with her large arms and round waist, it just seemed contrived.

"Sister, don’t cry. What happened?"

"Tiantian, your fiancé, he..." Feng Tianjiao said.

"What about him?" Ye Liang glared with furious eyes and viciously pinched Ye Liang to stop him from speaking. Ye Liang’s face twitched with pain, but he still managed to maintain a deadpan expression.

"He bullied me..." Saying that, Feng Tianjiao put the pastries on the table and began to cry loudly. Luo Qianqian covered her ears in disgust. Don’t you know the meaning of restraint?

Luo Qianqian didn’t continue speaking; this was Chang Xi’s turf, and she was the supporting role. Then she reached for the lovely pastries on the table, only to have her hand slapped away by Chang Xi. Her hand instantly swelled red, and then Chang Xi threw the plate onto the floor. Looking at Luo Qianqian with eyes full of grievance and confusion, she sighed and said, "If you don’t want to get as fat as I was before, you’d better not touch it."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianjiao looked up, no longer bothering to squeeze out tears, and said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"

Chang Xi continued, "I came here, oh, without any other purpose, just to ask you for a bit of BPD-38926 to play with." (And don’t doubt, that’s just a made-up name.)

At the mention of the alphanumeric combination from Chang Xi’s mouth, Feng Tianjiao’s complexion changed slightly, and she quickly said, "What you mentioned, is that new perfume?"

"It’s the seasoning on top of the dessert you specifically brought for me when we were in elementary school," Chang Xi said with a smile. "I’ve lost weight too fast recently and am feeling a bit unaccustomed. But kids should stay away from it. If you suddenly get fat, you could become self-conscious and timid. And if there’s any complication at home, you might end up being the boss like me, an untouchable."

Luo Qianqian instantly understood what Chang Xi meant and turned pale, rubbing her fingers rapidly on her clothes, "Remind me to disinfect when I get home."

Ye Liang just stared at the pastries, somewhat dumbfounded.

Recalling the Wei Family’s protection of Chang Xi, Luo Qianqian sternly said, "I reserve the right to appeal."

"Oh, you don’t need to worry about that, we still have three months, don’t we? My case is still in the litigation phase." Chang Xi smiled and picked up a slice of the pastry with a tissue, "Those pastries you wouldn’t touch at all back then, you gave them all to me, and I was actually very thankful. But afterward, as I grew fatter and fatter, what do you think was in those pastries?

Oh right, this piece probably doesn’t have it, considering it’s meant for a beloved grandson of the family. But unfortunately, the pastries I had back then were sent for testing. If the ingredients, quantity, and taste of this piece are the same as those minus the seasoning..."

Feng Tianjiao clenched her teeth tightly, "You did this on purpose!"

"No, no, no, if you hadn’t manipulated him and her, none of this would’ve happened," Chang Xi said, pointing at Ye Liang and Luo Qianqian. "I gave you a chance. As long as you admitted your wrongs and had no other intentions toward the people around me, we should’ve left by now. But what you’re going to face is the payback from fifteen years ago that you never got." Having said that, Chang Xi pulled Luo Qianqian along, and as they exited the private room, she slowly said, "Actually, I really considered you a friend back then." After speaking, they left.

Ye Liang grabbed his clothes and followed closely behind.

Feng Tianjiao sat on the floor of the private room, staring blankly at the pastry crumbs on the floor, "Haha, friends, you bested me in every way, in looks, grades, family background, spending money, and in capturing everyone’s attention. Is that what you call a friend? I can only be your foil!!! I don’t regret it, Tiantian, I don’t regret it!!!"

Hearing the sounds coming from the private room behind her, Luo Qianqian felt somewhat bewildered. It seemed that aside from Xu Tianyi, the people around her had always been overshadowed by her. But none of them showed any extreme reactions, did they?

So it must be a personal issue, right? Human hearts are unpredictable, good and evil unknown.
