Tan Rou really couldnât understand Feng Jiaoâs thinking. Why did it matter to Feng Jiao if Xu Yan was buying something for his girlfriend? Couldnât he just keep his mouth shut for a while?
âSo what happened next?â Tan Rou asked, âDid the class president argue with him just because of that?â
âNot exactly,â Zhuang Liu replied, âAt that moment, Xu Yan didnât bother to respond to Feng Jiao, probably because he found him too annoying. Moreover, I could tell that Xu Yan didnât want to walk with Feng Jiao, so thatâs why he suggested buying something for his girlfriend. But when Feng Jiao saw that Xu Yan was ignoring him, he immediately got angry. He said Xu Yan was just a student, and insisted that he could get Xu Yan expelled from school within minutes.â
Tan Rou said with exasperation, âIs there something wrong with Feng Jiao?â
Zhuang Liu laughed and said, âCoincidentally, thatâs what Xu Yan said too. Youâve known Xu Yan for a long time, so you should know what kind of expression he shows when facing people he dislikes. Feng Jiao saw Xu Yanâs expression and was very upset. He asked Xu Yan if he was looking down on him. Do you know what Xu Yan said?â
Imagining the scenario, Tan Rou then said, âThe class president definitely had his hands in his pockets, nodded without any expression, and then said yes.â
If the timing hadnât been inappropriate, Zhuang Liu would have applauded Tan Rou, âYou got it right.â
Following this, Tan Rou could guess the rest. Xu Yanâs attitude irritated Feng Jiao, who then wanted to hit Xu Yan. Although Xu Yan wasnât talkative, he was quite fierce in a fight, so the two of them definitely had a physical altercation.
âIn the end, it was Director Lu who stopped them,â Zhuang Liu said, âDirector Lu has been working out these past few years, and his temper has improved a lot. He speaks so eloquently that he managed to calm the two of them down in just a few words.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou chuckled and said, âBeing a former actor, Director Lu definitely knows how to sweet-talk. Besides, his acting skills are not bad either. Just now, he and Liang Lu were performing from either side, almost killing me with laughter. Watch, Director Lu will definitely continue to deal with Feng Jiao. Feng Jiao is out of his mind and really needs someone to teach him a lesson. You shouldnât get involved; it would lower your status.â
Zhuang Liu smiled gently, âAlright, I wonât intervene. But you should avoid any interaction with him in the future, to prevent his madness from biting you.â
âWhy would I have any dealings with him?â Tan Rou suddenly thought of Jiang Min, âIf he actually marries Senior Sister Jiang Min, I might indeed have to deal with him in the future.â
Zhuang Liu said, âMy advice is to avoid this marriage. Even if it happens, it wonât benefit Jiang Min. Rather than the Jiang family forming a marital alliance with the Feng Family, they would be better off with the Zhuang family. It just so happens my second brother doesnât have a girlfriend.â
Zhuang Liuâs second brother, Zhuang Xi, had been doing very well recently, and he was wholeheartedly focused on developing the Zhuang family business, without causing trouble for Zhuang Liu as rumored. Hence, Zhuang Liu still regarded him as his brother. Just last month, they had dinner together.
Zhuang Liu was just speaking off the cuff, but Tan Rou took his words to heart. If Jiang Min ended up with Zhuang Xi, that would indeed be a good match. However, since they hadnât met each other yet, it was better not to discuss it further.
âTan Rou, what are you two whispering about?â Liang Lu called out to Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, âThe restaurant here is both expensive and not very good, so we are planning to drive into the city to eat. What do you think?â
Tan Rou replied, âDidnât you have it all arranged?â
Liang Lu pursed her lips and said, âI did have a dinner planned today, but someone insisted on treating us, and I couldnât stop them.â
Tan Rou quickly realized who wanted to treat them and said with a smile, âIt doesnât matter, whoever wants to treat us is fine, as long as we get to eat.â
Feng Jiao wouldnât miss this opportunity to curry favor with Tan Rou, and said diligently, âMiss Rou, wherever you say we should eat, thatâs where weâll go.â
As for why he would ask Tan Rouâs opinion, Feng Jiao thought this way: since he saw Tan Rou as the sister of Tao Zhi and as Zhuang Liuâs fiancée, beloved in both the Tao and Zhuang families, pleasing her would surely satisfy both Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi.
Moreover, Tan Rou was very pretty, and Feng Jiao enjoyed talking to beautiful women. If it werenât for her being Zhuang Liuâs fiancée, Feng Jiao would have liked to marry her himself. He really hoped that Zhuang Liu and Tan Rouâs engagement would be called off, giving him a chance.
While Feng Jiao thought this, his intense gaze irritated Zhuang Liu, who said sharply, âYoung Master Feng, what are you looking at?â
