Chapter 516: Falling Short
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
Yang Ming smiled contemptuously. It seemed that the meager affection that had just been established for Zhou Jiajia had disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Jiajia saw Yang Ming’s eyes and expression and felt a chill in her heart. Her mouth was twitching slightly… Zhou Jiajia also understood some of the conflicts between Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Zhitao. Although it was not in detail, she also knew that Yang Ming didn’t like w.a.n.g Zhitao.
Now, what would Yang Ming think when he sees me sitting with w.a.n.g Zhitao? In particular, w.a.n.g Zhitao is still my own pursuer. Would Yang Ming think that I have already joined the enemy?
“What’s the matter, Jiajia?” w.a.n.g Zhitao was delighted. Zhou Jiajia, the pretty face I have always dreamt of, will soon belong to me! How could w.a.n.g Zhitao not be happy?
Therefore, w.a.n.g Zhitao also paid attention to Zhou Jiajia’s pretty face the whole time while dining. When w.a.n.g Zhitao saw Zhou Jiajia’s expression suddenly freeze, he couldn’t help but feel a bit strange.
At this time, Zhou Jiajia didn’t have the heart to deal with w.a.n.g Zhitao anymore. She would want to draw a clear boundary with w.a.n.g Zhitao immediately. How would she speak to him again?
Seeing that Zhou Jiajia didn’t speak, w.a.n.g Zhitao couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He raised his head to look toward Zhou Jiajia’s gaze. At first glance, a wave of inexplicable anger suddenly rose inside him!
Yang Ming! It’s actually Yang Ming! The person whom Zhou Jiajia is looking at is actually Yang Ming! However, both his father and Zhou Jiajia’s mother were present, he couldn’t lose his temper on the spot and had to bear it.
How can I be so unlucky? How can I meet Yang Ming, this bearer of ill luck? It’s really unlucky! However, w.a.n.g Zhitao also knew that it was impossible even if he wanted to do something to Yang Ming. His small-scale methods were nothing in Yang Ming’s eyes.
“What happened to you two? What are you both looking at?” w.a.n.g Xifan looked up and saw his son and Zhou Jiajia both looking behind him, so he asked curiously.
“Yang Ming… he also came here to eat…” w.a.n.g Zhitao said quietly. But anyone could feel his resentment from his tone of voice…
” Oh ?” w.a.n.g Xifan said, “Let’s not care about him. We have our meal.”
“How can we not care? Isn’t he also a cla.s.smate?” Mother Zhou opened her mouth and said casually, “Zhitao, you take Jiajia to greet your cla.s.smate. When both of you are having your wedding celebration, you would have to let your cla.s.smates know, right?”
How could w.a.n.g Zhitao not understand Mother Zhou’s meaning?! This was obviously giving face to me! I can announce to Yang Ming that Zhou Jiajia belongs to me!
Ha , w.a.n.g Zhitao originally still didn’t dare to face Yang Ming upfront. But now, since Zhou Jiajia’s mother had expressed her support for me, what am I afraid of? This is an opportunity to gloat in front of Yang Ming. Why not?
So, he stood up and said to Zhou Jiajia, “Jiajia, let’s go. Let’s say h.e.l.lo to him!”
Zhou Jiajia was still worried about not having the opportunity to explain to Yang Ming. Now that there was such an opportunity, how could she let it go? So, she also stood up and followed w.a.n.g Zhitao to Yang Ming’s table.
w.a.n.g Zhitao was so proud of this. He felt like he was a man and had finally won his battle with Yang Ming! So, he walked to Yang Ming like a warrior returning from a triumphant victory.
” Ha ! Isn’t this Yang Ming? What a coincidence!” w.a.n.g Zhitao said with a smile, but the tone had a trace of him venting out his hatefulness.
Yang Ming didn’t mind him. He looked up at w.a.n.g Zhitao and said, “What a coincidence. You came to eat, too?”
“Yeah, I am having dinner with my girlfriend. My dad and my mother-in-law are here, too…” w.a.n.g Zhitao said proudly.
Yang Ming was frowning. Since when has Zhou Jiajia become the girlfriend of this kid? Moreover, he even brought the mother-in-law? Yang Ming raised his eyes to look at the other side. Indeed, he saw that the woman on the table was the one who came to see him the other day.
However, Yang Ming was somewhat puzzled. Zhou Jiajia seemed to be against w.a.n.g Zhitao earlier. How come they suddenly became a couple? This is weird! Could it be that these two people are conspiring to set me up?
Yang Ming had some doubts.
“Why do you want to tell me these things?” Since Yang Ming couldn’t figure it out, Yang Ming started to feel a little annoyed, too.
” Ha , I am just telling you. You already have Chen Mengyan. Stop having any intention toward Zhou Jiajia. She is now my girlfriend!” w.a.n.g Zhitao had already gotten Zhou Jiajia, so there was no need to pretend in front of Yang Ming. Even though he was not a match to Yang Ming, but he wanted to at least annoy Yang Ming.
Therefore, he deliberately said something like “You already have Chen Mengyan, stop having any intention toward Zhou Jiajia” to provoke the relations.h.i.+p between Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming and to create some trouble for Yang Ming.
Sure enough, Chen Mengyan’s face changed after listening to w.a.n.g Zhitao’s words. If he said that Yang Ming had an intention on Zhou Jiajia, it could really be possible! Last time, Yang Ming had a wet kiss with Zhou Jiajia! If Yang Ming kissed with feeling, he might really intend to take advantage of Zhou Jiajia…
However, Chen Mengyan immediately dispelled this idea. If it was another person, Chen Mengyan might have believed it. But now the person who said this was w.a.n.g Zhitao!
Can she believe w.a.n.g Zhitao’s words? If yes, then something is really wrong! Chen Mengyan was no longer going to believe whatever w.a.n.g Zhitao said. This guy was full of bullsh*t. He definitely aimed to provoke her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming!
Thinking of this, Chen Mengyan was relieved. She watched w.a.n.g Zhitao’s play there coldly.
” Oh , sure. Are you done?” said Yang Ming as he saw that w.a.n.g Zhitao had become rude to him. He also knew that this guy was ready to tear off the mask!Not surprising too. w.a.n.g Zhitao and I maintained a good relations.h.i.+p because of Chen Mengyan last time, and then later, it was because of Zhou Jiajia. Now that Zhou Jiajia had become his girlfriend, he and I won’t have any conflict of interest anymore. So, there is no need to pretend to have a good relations.h.i.+p with me.
As he thought about this, Yang Ming didn’t intend to continue acting with him. He maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Zhitao because he was afraid that this guy would retaliate again, which would be a disadvantage to him. But now, it was different. Yang Ming was no longer afraid of him. Never mind him. Didn’t Yang Ming even want to threaten his dad?
Therefore, Yang Ming waved his hand impatiently. “If you are done, you can go. I am losing my appet.i.te with your presence.”
“You f*cking…” w.a.n.g Zhitao just wanted to open his mouth but he hesitated. If I scold Yang Ming, I won’t get any benefit. Instead, I will leave a bad impression on Zhou Jiajia’s mother. If I try to fight, I won’t be Yang Ming’s opponent. So, w.a.n.g Zhitao had to swallow his pride. He turned around and pulled Zhou Jiajia away.
After pulling Zhou Jiajia twice, he realized that Zhou Jiajia stood there stupidly watching Yang Ming. So, he said with an irritated tone, “Jiajia. What are you looking at? Let’s go back.”
” Ah …” Zhou Jiajia was shocked and suddenly regained her conscious. She said to w.a.n.g Zhitao, “You go back first. I have something to say to Yang Ming…”
“What do you want to say?” w.a.n.g Zhitao listened to Zhou Jiajia’s words and felt that he had lost his face. “What’s there to say between you and Yang Ming? Let’s go back now. Auntie is waiting there…”
“Don’t pull me. There’s no relations.h.i.+p between the two of us…” Zhou Jiajia unpleasantly shrugged off w.a.n.g Zhitao’s hand which was pulling her.
w.a.n.g Zhitao’s face immediately turned dark. Isn’t this public shaming? As he thought about saying something, he heard Zhou Jiajia say, “Yang Ming, I have nothing to do with him… Really! I don’t like him…”
“Whether you like him or not, what does it have to do with me?” Yang Ming frowned.
“Yang Ming… Don’t misunderstand… It was not my intention that my mother went to find you…” Zhou Jiajia quickly explained, “It was my mother who went to find you by herself. Today, it was also my mother who tricked me to meet up with him…”
“Are you done? You can leave after you’re done.” Yang Ming felt anxious looking at Chen Mengyan whose expression had slightly changed. What’s the problem with this Zhou Jiajia? Isn’t she intentionally harming me?
“Yang Ming… I… can’t you feel my feelings toward you…” When Zhou Jiajia saw Yang Ming treated her coldly, she couldn’t hold back her heartbroken tears. “Yang Ming, I love you! Don’t you understand? You kissed me a few times… I didn’t refuse it… and there was also that night in the hotel…”
Zhou Jiajia was now heartbroken and she felt that her heart had fallen into an icehouse. The relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming had just been eased, and yet it was destroyed by my mother and w.a.n.g Zhitao!
I have been working hard for so long, and I have lost everything in a split moment. Everything has returned to zero and my relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming has become a stranger again! How could this not make this girl who was infatuated with love sad?
