Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Give Me a Break!
With Zhang Ran Qi saying so much, the rest was easy to imagine.
Ye Meng Zhen was so shocked that her voice cracked: “What, she has a fiancé?”
Father Ye and Mother Ye also looked at Li Zhao Yang in surprise. Li Zhao Yang had not expected this fire to circle around and land on him.
“Cough, cough. Before my second aunt passed away, she did make a verbal agreement with Madam Xie. But my sister is still young. Whether this agreement counts or not still depends on what she wants. So before anything is settled, we did not want to make it public, and the Xie family thinks the same.”
Li Zhao Yang did not say Li Qian Xi’s name directly. He wanted to leave some room to smooth things over.
Sadly, no one there understood his good intentions.
Zhang Ran Qi gave a cold laugh, continuing to show off his talent for sharp words and spraying poison without stopping.
“You really are family! Your sister told my brother the same thing. She said this engagement was decided by the elders and there was nothing she could do. She said that in her heart, she really did not want to be tied to someone she had no feelings for because of some rash promise, but since Uncle and Aunt raised her, she could not let them down.”
“Yeah, right! Forgive me for being blind, but yesterday I really did not see how unhappy she was about this marriage. She was practically trying to squeeze herself into Young Master Xie’s arms, and that was in public. If no one had been around, who knows if the two of them would have already been melting into each other. Just watching them, I was afraid I would get a sty.”
After saying this, Zhang Ran Qi wrinkled his brows in disgust, as if to say, What decent girl acts so cheap!
Hearing him talk like that, Li Zhao Yang was both embarrassed and angry. His voice trembled as he asked: “Did she really say that?”
“I am not the type who likes to badmouth people behind their backs and add fuel to the fire.” After saying that, he even kicked Ye Zhi Huan’s bed. “She said this to you before, right? You were there yesterday when the two of them were hugging, right? Hurry up and back me up. Did I say even one word wrong?”
Mother Zhang quickly stopped him: “Do not be so rough. Zhi Huan is still hurt!”
But Mother Ye waved her hand generously and even sided with Zhang Ran Qi: “It is fine, it is fine. He should kick him a few more times and kick all the water out of his head.”
“Mom is right. My brother must have water in his head to believe that nonsense about how the elders arranged her marriage so she could not decide for herself. Anyone who does not know better would think the Li family abused her and planned to use her as a bargaining chip in a political marriage.”
This was exactly what made Li Zhao Yang angry. Because of his second uncle and second aunt, for all these years his whole family had treated Li Qian Xi like a treasure in their palms, afraid that the slightest unhappiness would affect her mood and worsen her illness.
And yet, this was how she talked about them outside?
Even though he had long known that Li Qian Xi was cold hearted and could not be warmed, Li Zhao Yang still felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head and could not help wanting to shiver.
Du An Rao did not notice how cold and empty Li Zhao Yang felt in his heart. She watched this farce with great interest and felt more and more that this whole family were rare comedic talents.
[Hahaha, this is definitely his real mom and real sister. It is kind of pitiful, but why do I just want to laugh? And this Mr. Zhang is also a talent. The way he roasted Li Qian Xi is exactly what I would have said with my own mouth!]
Seeing Du An Rao staring at Zhang Ran Qi with bright eyes, the corners of Xi Jing Yue’s mouth, which had been lifted, also drooped.
This little thing was not very old, but her heart was not small at all.
Not long ago, she had set her sights on that male star named Fu Si Li at Zhaoyang Company. Now she had her eyes on this Mr. Zhang.
Her whole belly was like a wide ocean, and all kinds of fish were swimming in it.
After being hit again and again by his mother and sister, Ye Zhi Huan withdrew even more into himself.
Ye Meng Zhen, however, thought that since the Li family was here today, she had to expose Li Qian Xi’s true face. Otherwise, if someone brought this up in the future and thought they were in the wrong, the blame would be put on her brother again.
“Seventh Brother, you said just now that my brother saw them hugging and thought that man was bullying Li Qian Xi. So did they get into a fight?”
“If they had not, would your brother have gone drinking in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”
Du An Rao froze for a moment and finally realized the branching point in this whole love drama.
[Huh, the first simp and the second simp actually fought? In the original plot, those two never even met!]
You had to know that the basic skill of a veteran player was arranging the schedule of all the fish in her pond so that they never bumped into each other at the wrong time in the wrong place.
According to the original script, when Ye Zhi Huan saw the two of them being intimate, he could not take it and turned to leave.
After that, he stayed out alone all night, then drove drunk and became a vegetable. He never had the chance to explain the truth.
So in the end, the whole Ye family never knew why someone who usually hated drinking had drunk so much that night, and they never knew that Ye Zhi Huan had met with Li Qian Xi before the car accident.
[Now that Ye Zhi Huan has avoided his fate of becoming a vegetable and even had a face to face fight with Li Qian Xi and Xie Jing Yao before leaving, is this the butterfly effect?]
Du Yu Xi’s eyes flashed and she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about.
“Your brother treated her like a treasure, but she treated your brother like a shameless ATM. She said she and your brother were just simple friends. She said he misunderstood and took her silent rejection as agreement and kept pestering her.”
As he spoke, Zhang Ran Qi even mimicked Li Qian Xi’s honeyed words in a strange tone: “Brother Ye, I told you long ago that I had a fiancé. I always thought you only treated me as a sister. Your kindness to me was just the care between siblings, since you treat Meng Zhen like that too. Now that we have talked it out and cleared up the misunderstanding, let us just keep getting along like brother and sister, okay?”
Before he even finished, Zhang Ran Qi shuddered as if he could not stand it and shook off his goosebumps: “Meng Zhen is Zhi Huan’s real sister. What is she? How is she worthy of being compared with Meng Zhen? She clearly knew Zhi Huan liked her yet still flirted with him. What kind of brother and sister send each other flirty messages every day and ask for gifts? Lovers pretending to be siblings, is that it? Heh…”
If not for the situation, Du An Rao would probably already be rolling on the floor laughing. How could someone’s roasting be so on point, hahaha…
Du Yu Xi thought of something else and suddenly asked: “And her fiancé did not react at all?”
Zhang Ran Qi seemed to have not expected her to speak up. He paused, then gave a cold laugh: “He is also someone whose brain is about the size of a sesame seed. That woman is practically riding horses on his head, and he probably still thinks she is weak and easy to bully, pure and innocent.”
Thinking of how Xie Jing Yao had argued with them at the company not long ago and his righteous defense of Li Qian Xi, the corners of Du Yu Xi’s lips lifted in a mocking smile.
“So that is how it is, huh.”
Someone who had just gotten home and was about to have people look closely into Li Qian Xi properly: achoo!!!
