âJust now, I said that your memory was bad. I didnât expect it to be so bad.â
Zuo Yue shook her head and said,âHave you forgotten what happened when you were sixteen?â You messed around with a few men and got pregnant. Then, you bled. I was the one who sent you to the hospital overnight!â
Lian Keyingâs expression instantly changed. She opened her mouth to explain, but her fiancé, who was standing beside her, had a dark expression on his face. Even in the United States, this kind of premarital behavior was not excessive, but he did not seem to have expected her to have such a past.
âThe doctor said that you had a massive hemorrhage because of a miscarriage or something. I donât understand either. I just remember that they said that you might not be able to have another child in the future. They even said that there was something wrong with your uterus. Also, you were infected with something. It seems that one of your men also had that disease. You were infected when you were doing thatâ¦â
âZuo Yue, stop slandering me! When have I ever messed around with a man! When have I ever had a miscarriage?âLian Keying was instantly enraged.
Zuo Yue chuckled and did not say anything else.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She had to give herself a taste of her own medicine. After the effect was achieved, they could quarrel if they wanted to. They had already fought to this extent. If they did not quarrel, it would be too much of a waste to Lian Keyingâs already distorted face.
âZuo Yue, you better explain clearly, youâ¦â
Lian Keying was about to go forward and grab Zuo Yueâs wrist, but Xu Chengfeng, who had been quietly being held by Zuo Yue like a prop, raised his hand and blocked her hand.
This man actually defended Zuo Yue, and her fiancé was already standing at the side with an ugly expression.
Lian Keyingâs eyes were red with anger. Just as she was about to scold something, Xu Chengfeng shielded Zuo Yue behind him and looked at Lian Keying indifferently. His voice was neither cold nor indifferent as he said,ââTwo little girls who havenât even reached the age of twenty casually joked and quarreled. No one would take it seriously. Itâs fine if they quarreled a little, but did you take it seriously?â
Lian Keyingâs expression froze and she was speechless for a moment. She could only look at the man in front of her in shock. He had been silent all this while, but now, the moment he opened his mouth, he immediately shut her up.
Zuo Yue did not expect Xu Chengfeng to turn the tables with just one sentence.
With just one sentence, Lian Keyingâs slander towards her was erased and turned into a joke between the two little girls.
With just one sentence, Zuo Yueâs innocence and Lian Keyingâs shrew behavior that was about to be carried out because she could not take a joke had been achieved.
Everyone was watching from the side and kept pointing at Lian Keying. Lian Keying could not keep her face up and glared at Zuo Yue with a pair of vicious eyes.
Zuo Yue also looked at her after regaining her senses. She gave Lian Keying a faint smile, and there was a small hint of victory in her eyes.
Lian Keying, this woman, had been a slut since she was young. Zuo Yue had never thought that the first victory between them was actually because of Xu Chengfengâs help.
Even though he hadnât said anything just now, even though it had been so long, he had only said this one sentence.
However, this sentence was enough to save her from trouble. It also proved that he believed that even Ke Yingâs words were just slander.
For a moment, Zuo Yueqing felt a little hot in her heart. It was an inexplicable heat. Even her eyes were hot.
On the other side, Lian Keying had already walked out of the ready-to-wear design shop arguing with her fiancé. Zuo Yue had yet to come back to her senses when she heard a deep voice beside her,ââTake your hands off me.â
Zuo Yue immediately pulled her hand out of Xu Chengfengâs arm as if she had been electrocuted. For a moment, she was so embarrassed that she did not know how to react. She turned to look at him. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.
After a long time, he could only say stiffly,âThank you.â
However, Xu Chengfeng looked at her as if nothing had happened. He had to admit that Zuo Yue was a good-looking girl. Usually, she was just too lazy to dress up. If she really changed into suitable clothes, she would be a beauty.
However, this girl was indeed too worrisome. She would have problems wherever she went.
Under Xu Chengfengâs somewhat cold gaze, Zuo Yue was speechless. The shop assistant beside her saw that the farce had ended and walked over to say politely,ââMiss Zuo, are you sure you want this dress? Do you want me to wrap it up for you, or do you want me to just wear it?â
Zuo Yue came back to her senses and looked at the weather outside.ââPack it up. Iâll go up and change my clothes.â
âAlright, Miss. This way please.â
Zuo Yue followed the shop assistant back upstairs to change her clothes. She did not really buy a few sets and only bought this one set.
In the end, she walked down with the shopping bags in her hands and saw Xu Chengfeng still standing nearby, as if he was waiting for her.
Zuo Yue thought about what happened just now. How did she manage to lift her hand and place it on his arm? Where did she get the courage to lie about her uncle being her boyfriend in front of others?
Xu Chengfeng was probably getting more and more annoyed with her because of her childish and shocking actions.
Zuo Yue walked over with a dark expression on her face. After she walked behind him, she whispered like a mosquito,ââUncle, I⦠Iâm doneâ¦â
Xu Chengfeng looked back at her and saw that she had changed back into her original clothes. Her hair had also been tied up again, as if the girl who was wearing a dress and standing beside him with her hair scattered like an elf had completely disappeared.
He stared at her for a moment before glancing at the shopping bag in her hand.âHave you paid?â
âYes, I paid with your card. Itâs a little expensiveâ¦Is it okay?â Zuo Yue whispered.
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but it was obvious that he did not take such a small matter to heart. He only frowned because of her sudden submissive attitude, but it was only for a moment before he walked past her expressionlessly.
Zuo Yue followed behind him and walked out. When she reached the door, she saw that Lian Keying and her fiancé were still arguing outside the door. The dress bag in her hand had also been thrown to the ground.
Seeing that Lian Keying was still there, Zuo Yue instinctively raised his hand to grab Xu Chengfengâs sleeve, but it was only his sleeve.
However, if the two of them walked out expressionlessly one after another, Lian Keying would definitely suspect something if she saw themâ¦
But his uncleâs attitude wasâ¦
Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had suddenly stopped in his tracks. She carefully tugged at his sleeve with a pleading look in her eyes.
Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the door and did not move. His cold eyes looked at the man and woman who were quarreling outside. The arrogant attitude of Lian Keying when she deliberately framed Zuo Yue and insulted Zuo Yue echoed in his ears. She also seemed to be used to Zuo Yueâs silence and forbearance, and became more and more presumptuous.
