Chapter 132 Don’t I Look Angry?

Chen Keren thought Tong Siqi would not be that stupid to give her the opportunity to expose the lies. However, she completely ignored the fact that when a woman pretended to be pitiful then what she said would all become the evidence to defame her. The so-called expose was just a simple excuse for their internal strife.

The so-called internal strife, which could be seen between Chen Kexin and Chen Keren. The sisters who never ever argued with each other, now were in a tit-for-tat conflict because of Tong Siqi.

…

After work, Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang drove to leave the company before everyone’s eyes, which brought a deluge of gossips.

They remained silent on the way. Yi Duanfang agreed with Chen Keren on this matter and he was sure that Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin would not believe Chen Keren’s words, for recently he could tell from that they were annoyed and embarrassed by Chen Keren’s cold and arrogant attitude.

When they came to the gateway of Bayview Complex, they found Chen Kexin have already stood there. With a ponytail, she looked on tiptoe and waved excitedly to them as she saw Chen Keren’s car.

“Kexin still looks like a high school student.” Yi Duanfang couldn’t help teasing her.

Chen Keren nodded and said softly, “But she isn’t as smart as a high school student.”

Yi Duanfang giggled with his mouth covered.

“Keren, you are too slow. I have been waiting for you for more than 10 minutes.” Chen Kexin complained, with mouth puckered.

Chen Keren didn’t speak but beckoned to her to get on the car.

Chen Kexin smiled with resignation and got into the car. She knew that Chen Keren must be unhappy because of inviting her to dine with Tong Siqi.

Chen Keren then drove to the agreed Flavored Fish Restaurant.

“My brother-in-law, Duanfang. Why are you also here? Aha!” Chen Kexin asked Yi Duanfang who was sitting on the front passenger seat.

Yi Duanfang touched his nose and said with a serious face, “Yeah, couldn’t I?”

Chen Kexin waved her hands and said, “Of course you can. Ah, it seems that my brother-in-law is such a caring person. What a surprise!”

Yi Duanfang touched his forehead and thought, “What does exactly she want to say?”

“So I guess that you can also treat Siqi in such a gentle manner, right?” Chen Kexin finally spoke out what she wanted to say.

Chen Keren’s hands holding the steering wheel paused but she still didn’t say anything.

Yi Duanfang looked embarrassed suddenly. He looked at Chen Keren who seemed peaceful then jested with Chen Kexin helplessly. “Kexin, do you think I didn’t treat Tong Siqi well?”

When hearing that, Chen Kexin just waved her hands and said in a panic, “Of course not. How can I think so?” But her face had betrayed her.

Yi Duanfang curled his lips unhappily.

Chen Kexin stuck out her tongue and explained in a hurry. “I didn’t mean that you treat her bad. But as you know that she doesn’t have much time left and she will leave in a few days. Keren is a little bit… indifferent. As for you, just be more enthusiastic. OK?”

Yi Duanfang was about to speak while Chen Keren interrupted in a cold tone. “So you want to let my boyfriend— your brother-in-law to show prestige in front of others?”

Chen Kexin and Yi Duanfang were stunned.

Chen Keren was still in a bad mood and said, “How about this, you can ask my brother-in-law to be her company. She is dying anyway so you can use your selflessness to complete her last dream.”

Chen Kexin bit her lips and blushed, but she could not speak a word even.

Yi Duanfang then advised in a hurry. “Stop talking, Keren… Kexin didn’t mean that. And Kexin, please don’t say that again because it can be misunderstood easily. Hah-hah, I know what you mean and I will try my best to act more kindly.”

He thought it over and over again and finally use the word “kindly”, which seemed to be more neutral.

Chen Kexin nodded. She knew that Chen Keren was angry and she didn’t have any reasonable explanation so she bent her head and remained silent.

Chen Keren also didn’t speak a word and kept driving.

Feeling that the atmosphere was getting tension, Yi Duanfang loosened his collar and said embarrassedly, “What a hot day…”

Chen Keren rolled her eyes at him and thought, “It’s obviously cold.”

Unconsciously, early winter crept on.

The wind was colder day by day. Although the sun shined warmly, it still failed to stop the leaves falling in the early winter.

Yi Duanfang then felt that the atmosphere seemed to be tenser than before.

After a bit of brainstorming, he finally found the topic…

“Oh, Kexin, why don’t you ask Weixi to pick you up?” With his hand rubbing his chin, he curiously looked at depressed Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin raised her eyes and looked at him. Her face became more upset.

Chen Keren gave a snort of contempt and said, “Because my brother-in-law needs to look after someone who was sick. My sister was so selfless.”

Then Yi Duanfang finally found that he started a wrong topic again.

But things didn’t end too early.

In the innermost room in the second floor of the Flavored Fish Restaurant, Tong Siqi and Wang Weixi were sitting oppositely and chatting happily.

Although Chen Kexin was very upset about Chen Keren’s words, she still acted lovely and energetic in front of those two people.

“Darling, we are coming in.” As Chen Kexin stepped into the room, she greeted Wang Weixi and Tong Siqi happily and said, “Siqi, you look very beautiful today. Tee-hee.”

Tong Siqi sat there, wearing a pink fringed dress, and was very eye-catching for her unusual youthful style. At this time, she also smiled at Chen Kexin and said softly, “Thank you, and you too.”

Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang followed Chen Kexin and came in. Chen Keren glanced at Tong Siqi without saying anything. She sat down at the farthest chair among them and Yi Duanfang definitely sat by her. Therefore, on this table with 11 chairs, Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi were sitting on one side while Tong Siqi sat opposite them. Chen Keren and Yi Duanfang were sitting on the other side.

Chen Keren had been indifferent since she came in. Of course, Wang Weixi already knew that she definitely wouldn’t show any soft expression in front people she didn’t like. However, was that OK? He spontaneously looked at Tong Siqi. Tong Siqi must have noticed Chen Keren’s displeasure and she looked a little bit upset.

However, Chen Kexin pitifully looked at Yi Duanfang with her big eyes, which seemed like a hint.

Yi Duanfang got the hint then he outstretched his hands helplessly. He said with a charming smile, “Did Siqi and Weixi come here together? Did you wait long for us?”

Then everyone realized that Yi Duanfang was a little bit stupid today.

It was really rare to see that Yi Duanfang became such a person who spoke without thinking. Chen Keren stared at him severely. Yi Duanfang touched his neck and smiled embarrassedly, “I am so hungry. Oh, Weixi, have you ordered?”

Wang Weixi looked at him with profound resignation, smiled embarrassedly and said, “Yes.”

Yi Duanfang touched his nose and nodded, “Aha, I know it must be Siqi’s favorite food. You must have some more, Siqi. Weixi has researched for a long time.”

Tong Siqi smiled softly.

Chen Kexin glared at Yi Duanfang fiercely.

Then they spent a hard time in such a tense atmosphere. Finally, when all the dishes were served, they began to eat.

“Keren, do have more,” Yi Duanfang offered Chen Keren a piece of meat and said with smiles. Now he was a highly competent husband, which surprised Wang Weixi.

Sometimes he thought, “Is this person the sissy Yi Duanfang?”

Then Chen Kexin seemed that she could read his thoughts and said, “Yes, he is. Now, sister Duanfang has already become my brother-in-law Duanfang.”

Chen Keren still didn’t smile and she thought, “My arrival is already your gift.”

Tong Siqi smiled on the surface and she even stood up to put a piece of meat into Chen Keren’s bowl. At this moment, time was frozen.

Chen Keren raised her eyes full of doubt and disgust.

Tong Siqi still looked friendly and said, “Keren, I want to reconcile with you. And I hope that you can forgive what I had done in the past.”

Chen Keren gave a snort of contempt. “Do you want me to act with you? Well, I can accompany you.”

But she still remained silent and then Chen Kexin spoke with smiles, “Don’t act like a stranger, Siqi. Keren is magnanimous that she won’t think about that.”

Tong Siqi looked at her with smiling eyes.

Chen Keren paused and said lightly, “Yes, I won’t bother about that. So you’d better just look after yourself. Don’t mind me.”

Obviously, her attitude froze everyone. Although Chen Keren wanted to act gently, when one was so sick of a person, it was hard to keep pretending to be friendly. That was also the state of Chen Keren now. The gentle and tender manner she pretended now had turned to tough respond.

Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi glanced at each other. They all felt resigned and troubled to Chen Keren.

But Tong Siqi sat down with smiles.

Chen Keren raised the eyebrows. She particularly hated the kind of woman who was full of affectations. She thought, “Besides, today’s Tong Siqi seemed different from previous days. At that time, when I ignored her, she won’t please me in such a positive way. Today’s unusual.”

But Chen Keren didn’t think too much. She thought that Tong Siqi purely worried about that she could speak out what happened that day. While Tong Siqi was so smart that she never cared about such a thing. Chen Keren should know that when someone was under such an unexpected situation, he or she would be unwise.

“Keren, do not always show us a poker face. Look at Siqi. How beautiful her smile is. Come on, smile!” Chen Kexin said with smiles.

Chen Keren frowned, then turned around and asked, “Why should I smile?”

The atmosphere then was in embarrassment again.

Tong Siqi pretended to be nervous and said, “Kexin, do not force Keren to do that. I know she didn’t like me and it’s not her fault. I have almost done something wrong before, which even made her come to see me alone.” She clapped her hand over her mouth as soon as she realized what she had said.

Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi all looked at Tong Siqi surprisedly and then turned to Chen Keren.

“Keren, when did you see her? Why don’t we know that?” Wang Weixi looked not good.

Chen Keren casually said, “Not that particular. I think I don’t have to inform you of all my things, do I?”

Yi Duanfang looked these two people embarrassedly. He was about to speak while Tong Siqi interrupted him as a peacemaker.

“Weixi, do not blame Keren. She just wanted to make sure whether I indeed had two months left. She was just afraid that I would do something dangerous.”
