Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Life and Death Struggle_1
“We…” Qiao Jingxuan started to speak but stopped, they had written letters before. But he had never taken it seriously, he was all along just toying with Jiang Nanfei.
He explicitly said, they were just ordinary friends, schoolmates.
“Ahh…” Qiao Jingxuan, lost in thought, let out a miserable scream. Turns out, when he was caught off guard, Nanfei stomped on his foot viciously.
As the arrogant scion of heaven, Qiao Jingxuan had never been treated this way, immediately grimacing in pain on the spot.
Finally liberated, Nan Fei jumped back three steps towards Chen Cuihua’s clothing factory, gave Qiao Jingxuan the middle finger and warned, “Stay away from me in the future, don’t provoke me, otherwise, I won’t be this polite next time.”
He rolled his eyes and walked into the clothing factory.
Qiao Jingxuan clenched his teeth and darkened his face, unable to utter a word.
He felt like he was insane, to be this entranced by this brazen woman.
There were so many others professing love for him, Jiang Nanfei didn’t even deserve to tie his shoes.
And yet he felt unsatisfied.
Having never experienced defeat in his life, he wouldn’t be content with being made a fool of by Jiang Nanfei.
Seaview Villa, He Family—
Ever since returning from the State Guest Hotel, He Rongxi had been sulking on the living room sofa. His face looked grimmer than anyone else’s.
The He family was an influential family of the provincial capital, but back in the day, he was not the first heir—he had emerged successful thanks to marrying his deceased wife and leveraging his in-laws, the Yue Family.
Then, after his wife’s death, He Rongxi was on top of the world. Not only could he love and guard the woman he loved, he had also become an important figure in the entire provincial capital.
This was the first time he had been humiliated .
Somewhere in his heart he blamed Huo Linong as well for not being able to control his own son.
As He Rongxi was in a bad mood, no servant dared to approach him.
Shasha hid behind the door, secretly observing and thinking about how to seize this rare opportunity to make Jing Tong look bad and gain an advantage for herself.
Jing Tong had lost face today, now Shasha wondered how she would dare to mingle in high society afterwards. As if crying in her room would resolve everything—she was dreaming.
Shasha found a servant and had them brew a cup of tea for her to personally serve to He Rongxi.
“Dad, have some tea. Calm down, none of what happened today was your fault.”
Usually, He Rongxi would never make this kind of basic mistake—despite looking down on rural people, he wouldn’t stoop so low as to be petty. If not for Jing Tong, he would never have…
“Dad.” He Shasha said with a troubled expression: “I have something I want to discuss with you, is that okay?”
He Rongxi was cold-faced. Losing face in front of his daughter today made him feel guilty, so all he could do was say, “Go ahead.”
“I want to go to the school that Uncle Huo runs.”
“You want to go to that kind of school? Is it because of Jingxuan?”
“Of course not.” Ever since she saw Qiao Jingxuan humiliating himself in front of Jiang Nanfei, she felt it was disgraceful to have ever been infatuated with Qiao Jingxuan. “Uncle Huo’s school has always had a high rate of college admission. Plus, a school that Qiao Jingxuan and Gongxi Yunqi attend, must be something special.”
She thought carefully, she was not Jing Tong’s competitor now, so she would start from her daughter.
Shasha’s pale knuckles revealed her true emotions
It was a life-or-death situation between her and Jing Tong’s daughter.
