Chapter 1162: Yang Lan’s Ambition
Chi Shuyan looked at her indifferently and said, “You don’t have to apologize to me!”
Seeing Shuyan’s cold appearance, Yang Lan became even more anxious. She gritted her teeth and said, “Shuyan, you don’t know how much I like him. Besides, I was also thinking that you have President Qi. That’s why I said some selfish things last night to give myself a fighting chance. If you didn’t have President Qi and you also liked Yuancen, I promise I wouldn’t have used petty tricks and would have competed fairly with you!”
Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything and just stared at Yang Lan. Yang Lan felt a little guilty under her gaze and gritted her teeth. “Really!”
In fact, she knew that the person Feng Yuancen had taken a fancy to wasn’t her, but Shuyan. In the car last night, the person he talked about the most was Shuyan.
Yang Lan didn’t feel good, but she was glad that Shuyan had found President Qi.
Chi Shuyan nodded at that moment. “Fine, a fair compet.i.tion. Qi Zhenbai and I have already broken up!”
She naturally didn’t think that they had broken up, nor did she want to say the words “break up.” She just wanted to test Yang Lan’s sincerity. Unfortunately, as soon as she said that, Yang Lan’s face changed drastically. Her eyes flickered and pressed her lips together until they were white. In the end, she couldn’t help but say, “Shuyan, you… you’re joking, right?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t expect to see how ‘sincere’ the other party was with just a little probing. She was incomparably disappointed and didn’t plan to talk about her breakup with Qi Zhenbai. She nodded. “I was indeed joking!”
Yang Lan looked very embarra.s.sed and feigned relief. “That’s good, that’s good!”
Chi Shuyan looked at Yang Lan. In fact, after what happened last night, she didn’t have any ill feelings or otherwise toward her. At most, she didn’t like the other party using petty tricks with her. To be honest, she just felt that Yang Lan was a little eccentric. She had a refres.h.i.+ng personality and was a good person. She was a bit of a schemer, but she wasn’t annoying. It was only when it came to feelings that she was muddle-headed, and she was easily bewitched by men.
Feng Yuancen’s appearance made Chi Shuyan realize how fragile her friends.h.i.+p with Yang Lan was.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a good mood because of Qi Zhenbai, and she wasn’t in the mood to argue with Yang Lan about anything else. She spat out coldly, “Let’s go!”
Yang Lan suddenly grabbed her arm and pleaded, “Shuyan, I have something to ask of you!”
“Speak!”
“Shuyan, I want to ask you, can I really not fall in love this year?” Yang Lan suddenly asked. Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Yang Lan quickly grabbed her wrist and said excitedly, “Shuyan, I know you’re capable. I really like Yuancen. Please help me! I heard that Celestial Masters can help people change their fate. Shuyan, I don’t need you to help me change my fate. Just help me change my luck and reverse the bad luck of rotten peach blossoms and the Peach Blossom Doom, okay?”
Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised by Yang Lan’s request. To be honest, luck was a gift from the heavens. If a person’s luck was good to begin with, and it was borrowed halfway, Chi Shuyan had a way to help them recover it, and would be willing to help. However, if a person’s luck was average from the moment they were born, it was easy for them to become unlucky. At most, she could only help adjust their luck. She had been helping Yang Lan adjust her luck before this. Originally, after this year, her luck would be much better, and there would be fewer rotten peach blossoms.
But she just had to run into the amorous Feng Yuancen.
Chi Shuyan had said so much, but the other party just wouldn’t listen.
There was nothing she could do.
As for changing luck, there had indeed been such a thing since the olden days, but most of the time, sinister methods, which were the most effective, were used to borrow luck.
Chi Shuyan had suffered enough pain from her luck being borrowed. No matter how close she was with Yang Lan, she wouldn’t help her borrow someone else’s luck. Chi Shuyan deliberated for a moment, then said honestly, “Yang Lan, you should know that I’ve been adjusting your luck previously, but it just so happens that this is the year of your birth sign. It will take some time for your luck to improve! If you really want to be in a relations.h.i.+p with Feng Yuancen, you can try next year, when your luck is better!”
This was all Chi Shuyan could do. As long as Yang Lan made it through this year, her luck would be much better next year. However, Chi Shuyan still wouldn’t recommend her to be with Feng Yuancen. Someone as good-looking as Feng Yuancen was fated to attract peach blossoms. If Yang Lan became entangled with Feng Yuancen, it was very likely that a Peach Blossom Doom would occur.
She just hoped that for the rest of the year, Yang Lan would be able to calm down and become a little more clear-headed, and she would be less enthusiastic about Feng Yuancen.
But Chi Shuyan’s words obviously didn’t satisfy Yang Lan. She also knew that with Feng Yuancen’s looks, he was very popular with women and didn’t lack their attention. She still had a chance now, but there was still half of this year left. By then, it would be too late.
Yang Lan’s face was very unsightly. She gritted her teeth and said, “Shuyan, don’t you have any other way?”
Chi Shuyan shook her head.
“Shuyan, I’ve heard that there’s a way to borrow luck, right?” Yang Lan suddenly blurted out. When she saw Shuyan’s stern gaze, Yang Lan’s pupils contracted and she immediately said, “Shuyan, I… I don’t really want to borrow someone else’s luck. I just want to borrow a little to change my rotten peach blossom bad luck. Shuyan, you’re my best friend. I beg you! I beg you to help me!”
Chi Shuyan really didn’t expect Yang Lan to directly ask her to borrow luck. Her eyes gradually turned cold. She looked at the woman in front of her as if she had never known her – or, had she truly never known Yang Lan?
Without waiting for Yang Lan to speak again, Chi Shuyan interrupted her. “I’ll pretend I never heard that. If you ask me again, we won’t be friends anymore!”
With that, she ignored Yang Lan and walked toward the school gate.
Yang Lan was in disbelief that Shuyan wouldn’t help her with such a small matter! She didn’t plan to borrow all the luck; what was wrong with borrowing some to reverse her bad luck?
Chi Shuyan ran into Zhen Yu at the cla.s.sroom door. Zhen Yu looked good today, but when she saw the absent-minded and somewhat gloomy Shuyan, she walked over and asked, “Shuyan, what’s wrong?”
Chi Shuyan heard familiar footsteps behind her and patted Zhen Yu’s shoulder. “It’s fine! Don’t think too much. I’ll go in first!”
Zhen Yu followed the sound of footsteps and looked at Yang Lan, who was walking over with an ugly expression. She stopped her. “Yang Lan, what’s wrong with you? Shuyan’s expression didn’t look right just now. Why does it look like something’s wrong?”
Yang Lan was a little anxious about her request to borrow luck being turned down, and shook her head absent-mindedly to indicate that she was fine.
Zhen Yu suddenly asked, “By the way, how did it go with Ah Zhi’s friend from last night, that Feng person?”
Zhen Yu had accepted the fact that Yang Lan had taken a fancy to Feng Yuancen, and some of the ill will she had been feeling was dispelled. Women loved looks, and she also understood that if it were her, she might also choose Feng Yuancen over Feng Qin.
Zhen Yu had also thought it through. It was Yang Lan’s own choice who she wanted to date, as long as both parties were willing. However, when Zhen Yu thought about what Shuyan had said about Yang Lan’s rotten peach blossoms, she was also very worried. Last night, she had specially asked Yang Zhi about that Feng person’s background and character.
Yang Zhi didn’t hide it and directly told her that Feng Yuancen was from the capital’s Feng family. As for Feng Yuancen’s character, there largely wasn’t any problem with him – it was just that he was a little casual when it came to women. In this respect, he really was like his father.
However, Feng Yuancen’s father was even worse.
Zhen Yu couldn’t help but be a little worried. The other party’s background was really good, but he was also a playboy. If Yang Lan didn’t have rotten peach blossom bad luck, Zhen Yu might have told Yang Lan that “a wastrel could turn over a new leaf.”
But how could Zhen Yu relax when she thought about Feng Yuancen’s playboy nature and Yang Lan’s rotten peach blossom bad luck together?
Zhen Yu didn’t hide anything and told Yang Lan about Feng Yuancen’s family background and affairs.
Yang Lan had already vaguely felt that Feng Yuancen wasn’t an ordinary person. Now that she heard about his family background from Zhen Yu, Yang Lan’s eyes lit up.
Although she wasn’t a gold digger, she had also thought of marrying a handsome and rich man. In particular, when Zhen Yu said that “a wastrel might turn over a new leaf,” her desire to conquer was roused.
She couldn’t wait to see an outstanding man like Feng Yuancen turn over a new leaf for her. Yang Lan felt that if she gave it her all, he would give in sooner or later. She was confident.
To be honest, although she wasn’t jealous that Shuyan could marry into the Qi family, her eyes did turn red when she thought about it occasionally. Moreover, she wasn’t an idiot. No matter how good Shuyan was to her, when she really married into the Qi family in the future, their statuses would be worlds apart and everything would be different. How could she bear that? Now that she had finally met such a truly outstanding person, she naturally couldn’t bear to let him go!
