134 A leopard never changes its spots, I’ll change it
w.a.n.g Mingyue stared at her in disbelief. When she regained her senses, she said angrily, “What has it got to do with you? It’s none of your business!”
w.a.n.g Mingyue’s mother was an expert at making a scene. Although w.a.n.g Mingyue had a delicate face, she had inherited the essence.
Zhao Lanzhi’s mother was not to be outdone. “Someone, come quickly. The little fox from the Lintian Village has come to cast her curses again—”
Zhao Lanzhi’s mother hollered. Not only did Bai Wutong and the others hear it, but even the neighboring Lintian village heard it.
The people from Lintian Village were instantly boiling with excitement. They had long wanted to find an opportunity to visit Youjia Village. Now, their opportunity had arrived.
Some people rushed straight to Youjia village even before they finished lifting their pants, afraid that they would miss the climax that everyone would talk about.
After many days, Zhao Lanzhi, who had been locking herself at home, finally went out. Zhao Pengfei tried his best to get close to her.
Zhao Lanzhi looked at him coldly. Zhao Pengfei was all smiles as he handed over a bouquet of wild azaleas. “Lanzhi, this is for you.”
If it were in the past, Zhao Lanzhi would definitely take it happily.
And now, other than her cold glare, she didn’t show him any gentleness.
Zhao Pengfei was not discouraged and found a topic to talk about. “Lanzhi, do you like grapes?”
Zhao Lanzhi walked straight ahead.
Zhao Pengfei quickly caught up to her and said with a smile, “I plan to make a grape trellis in my courtyard like Madam Bai. You can eat grapes under the grapevine in the summer and seek shade from the heat.”
Zhao Lanzhi finally turned to look at him.
Zhao Pengfei thought that she was finally moved, but Zhao Lanzhi said coldly, “I have no relations with you. Don’t say such things again and let others misunderstand. Otherwise, I will definitely look for Lord Yang to seek justice for me.”
Zhao Pengfei was stunned. He did not expect the usually gentle and considerate Zhao Lanzhi to be so heartless to him.
Zhao Pengfei did not give up. He continued, “Lanzhi, I was wrong. What I said before was all nonsense. You’re very important to me, but I never realized it.”
Zhao Lanzhi sneered. “A leopard never changes its spot.”
Zhao Pengfei was speechless.
Seeing Zhao Lanzhi walk away, he hurriedly and carefully said, “I’m not a leopard. I can definitely change my spots.”
Zhao Lanzhi thought about how she had once been wholeheartedly devoted to him, but she did not gain anything other than a few cold faces. She felt that the person she had admired for many years was not a good person, and she was even more determined not to marry him.
If her parents did not agree, she would move out. Anyway, there was a lot of wood in the mountains. If she cultivated a few more acres of land, she would always have a place to stay.
Zhao Lanzhi made up her mind to cut ties with Zhao Pengfei. The depressed mood in her heart dissipated, and she was full of vitality. For the first time, Zhao Pengfei noticed that Zhao Lanzhi could be so flamboyant and beautiful.
He was in a daze and made up his mind to win Zhao Lanzhi’s heart back no matter what. Suddenly, Zhao Lanzhi’s mother’s curses came from the village entrance.
Zhao Lanzhi hurriedly rushed over, and Zhao Pengfei followed. When he realized that the person Zhao Lanzhi was scolding was w.a.n.g Mingyue, he was instantly petrified.
When w.a.n.g Mingyue saw Zhao Pengfei in the crowd, she quickly stopped being a shrew and threw herself at him like a weak and pitiful lady.
Zhao Pengfei dodged to the side, and w.a.n.g Mingyue fell to the ground.
When Cui Lingyi saw this scene, she burst out laughing. w.a.n.g Mingyue sat up in embarra.s.sment and looked in the direction of the pleasant voice. She saw the beautiful Cui Lingyi and Bai Wutong standing together.
Their sparkling eyes were half-smiling, clearly mocking her.
When w.a.n.g Mingyue thought of the humiliation she had suffered in the past few months and looked at them, who were glowing like stars, a strong sense of inferiority rippled in her chest.
w.a.n.g Mingyue, who was embarra.s.sed, angry, and agitated, suddenly got up and walked towards the two of them. She was helpless and furious. “What are you looking at, vixen!” Zhao Pengfei must have taken a fancy to them, which was why he was avoiding her.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingfeng kicked her in the chest. w.a.n.g Mingyue had just gotten up when she was suddenly sent flying.
She hit the ground with a thud that sent sand and dust flying.
Just as Qingfeng finished kicking, Chu Tianbao suddenly descended from the sky and kicked w.a.n.g Mingyue’s head.
Everyone was terrified. If Chu Tianbao were to land with his feet, w.a.n.g Mingyue’s head would be crushed.
This was the Ling Kingdom, not the road to escape. If w.a.n.g Mingyue died, Chu Tianbao would have to pay for murdering someone.
Everyone shouted in horror, “Master, stop!”
The villagers of Lintian Village locked onto this scene.
Their hearts were pounding as if time had stopped.
Unexpectedly, the soles of Chu Tianbao’s feet landed on w.a.n.g Mingyue’s face, leaving only a black footprint before he gently raised it again.
w.a.n.g Mingyue had been stepped on by Chu Tianbao and was humiliated. She was so angry that she wished she could perish with this person. When the soles were removed from her face, she saw a man who was as cold and handsome as a G.o.d.
Suddenly, her mind went blank. She thought that a G.o.d had descended to save her.
With a huge footprint on her head, she smiled shyly at Chu Tianbao. In the next second, her widened eyes started to hurt like fire.
It turned out that Chu Tianbao had pulled out chili water.
She covered her eyes and rolled on the ground. “Ahhh—”
Zhao Pengfei looked at her sorry state and thought about how they had been together these past few days. He could not help but look over.
Surprisingly, Chu Tianbao stopped. He only taught w.a.n.g Mingyue a small lesson. Bai Wutong was very satisfied with his behavior and praised, “Tianbao, well done.”
Chu Tianbao immediately raised his smug expression that was the same as Stinky, but he reached out his hand in front of Bai Wutong as though asking for a reward.
Bai Wutong smiled and took out the crispy peanut roll she had made that morning from her pocket. She gently reminded, “Don’t let Stinky eat it.”
Chu Tianbao took the crispy peanut roll and nodded in a very likable manner. “Okay.”
When he glanced at the other people around, his aura was completely different.
The powerful and cold gaze struck the hearts of the villagers of Lintian village with a whoosh, scaring them so much that they wanted to ask why they had come to watch the show.
w.a.n.g Mingyue struggled and rolled on the ground for a while. Her tears diluted the pain and she finally opened her eyes.
She cried bitterly and no longer coveted Chu Tianbao. She pointed at all of them and said fiercely, “I’m going to the government to sue you! You’re bullying people! I’m going to let His Excellency lock you up!”
...
When the villagers of Lintian Village heard her words, they trembled. The lord had a close relationship with this group of people. She was more likely to be the one to be locked up. They prayed in their hearts for her not to implicate them.
Of course, Bai Wutong and the others were not afraid, not to mention that she was the one who spoke rudely first.
Realizing that Bai Wutong and the others were unmoved, w.a.n.g Mingyue also thought of something. She pointed at Zhao Pengfei and shouted angrily, “You heartless man! You’ve ruined my reputation and made me a joke to the entire village. If you dare not marry me, I’ll sue you for molesting a good woman!”
