Chapter 170 - Provocation From Her First Boyfriend

“Oh my god!”

Tang Xia, who was startled by the silent old man in black, paled immediately. Then, she hid behind Fang Yan, which made him feel very embarrassed.

The old man in black made everyone present look strange, as they all became vigilant around him.

However, he told Dabing obediently, “Young master, welcome back.”

“Thanks for picking us up, housekeeper.”

When Dabing waved his hand casually, the housekeeper left reverently right away. Then, everyone released a sigh of relief and became quite curious.

Although Fang Yan was rather familiar with Dabing, he was really curious about the housekeeper, who had appeared suddenly. Thus, he could not help asking all sorts of questions. Impatient as Dabing was, he answered the questions anyway.

Song Sisi, who had been standing beside Fang Yan, acted as if she was the hostess.

Zhang Yaoyao was quite unsatisfied with Song Sisi’s behavior, so she pulled Tang Xia’s sleeve lightly and said in a low voice, “Xiaxia, just leave her alone. In fact, I don’t like her either.”

Song Sisi turned to look at them with a cold glint in her eyes, as if she had heard what they were talking about, but kept talking intimately with Fang Yan.

As she looked at the two of them, who were talking and joking, Tang Xia felt a little disappointed.

While almost everyone was absorbed in what was happening at the moment, few people were paying attention to the broadcast room. Therefore, they did not know that the fans in the broadcast room were having a big fight.

Some people were reviling the scheming b*tch Song Sisi, while others were criticizing Tang Xia for not behaving her boyfriend, who seemed like a bad boy.

“Young master, are you and your friends going to stay here tonight?” Even though everyone remained silent and Song Sisi stopped talking with Fang Yan, the housekeeper broke the silence abruptly.

Dabing seemed a little impatient, yet he chose to reply to the old housekeeper patiently, “Yes, we’ve come here for the expedition. It should go without saying that we will be staying here tonight.”

Although Dabing became a little angry with the housekeeper, who kept mentioning domestic affairs in front of his friends, he did not express his anger.

When she was left far behind her boyfriend with her boyfriend’s first love, Tang Xia had no choice but to walk slowly with Zhang Yaoyao. Besides, she could feel that the atmosphere around them was a little weird. Unfortunately, she could not tell exactly why she felt that way.

“But young master, I have told you that…” After hearing that answer, the housekeeper, who seemed a little anxious, interrupted the conversation abruptly.

Dabing interrupted the housekeeper again in an angry tone before he could finish his sentence. There was an impatient look on his face.

“Housekeeper, I suppose I have told you that you just need to do what a housekeeper should do.”

Dabing had a rather terrible expression on his face, so the housekeeper dared not say anything. However, Tang Xia noticed that the housekeeper had an uneasy look on his face for a moment. It seemed as if he had something on his mind.

In this case, she could not make any improper remarks, as she was on the live broadcast.

Plus, she supposed that no one would believe her under the circumstances. As a result, Tang Xia decided to stay silent for fear that she would be ignored.

Tang Xia and Zhang Yaoyao walked arm in arm, keeping up pace with the others. While they walked forward silently, the housekeeper uttered no superfluous words.

Although the inner space of the villa was quite large, every room was rather narrow. A significant amount of space was occupied by calligraphy works and other ornaments, which made the layout look very comical.

“I’m sorry that I’m not well-prepared. I did not know that you would be coming so suddenly. We just have two rooms at the moment. How would you like to assign the rooms?”

Dabing seemed a little pissed-off. Although the housekeeper knew that he was in the wrong, they had gotten along for years and he could not hire the servant to do the cleaning.

After all, even though the villa looked quite exquisite, it was out of the way. People went there only for the expedition.

“So what are we going to do? We’d better work together to figure it out. I’m sorry that I’m not fully prepared.”

Dabing, who was always arrogant, felt quite pissed about this embarrassing situation.

“Here’s my suggestion.” Song Sisi, who had kept on talking, interrupted the conversation abruptly in a proud tone, making Dabing frown slightly.

“The boys will stay in the first room and the girls in the second one. That way, no one will feel embarrassed or find the arrangement inappropriate. Besides, I think that we girls always get along.”

Tang Xia furrowed her eyebrows slightly but straightened her face quickly. “We always get along? I think that Song Sisi knows everything about our relationship.”

“Although I can’t figure out why she offered to share the room with me, this doesn’t mean that she will not cause me any trouble.”

Fang Yan froze for a while, feeling a little awkward. He had not expected that his first love would offer to share a room with his girlfriend. Soon, he realized that a clean hand did not need to be washed. There was no need for him to show his feelings too clearly.

Besides, his girlfriend was so good-natured that she could only hurt herself. She would not be regarded as a threat.

As he thought of this, he felt assured and decided to let them deal with everything.

Tang Xia did what she suspected was correct as soon as she and Zhang Yaoyao dropped off their luggage. Song Sisi, who kept her chin up, walked toward her proudly before they could greet each other.

“You are his girlfriend, right?” Although Song Sisi did not indicate so clearly, everyone knew who ‘he’ was.

Tang Xia felt a little awkward. Luckily, Zhang Yaoyao was not paying attention to what they were talking about. Instead, she was pretending not to see them and packing up her own luggage.

“Yes, I’m his girlfriend. Is there something wrong?” Tang Xia took a breath mentally and told herself that she had to stay calm. It would harm her image if she got angry easily.

“In that case, we have something to talk about.”

After hearing her answer, a hint of disdain flickered in Song Sisi’s eyes. She quickly put on a smile, as if there had been no conflict between them.

Tang Xia felt that Song Sisi was so difficult to deal with that she should not badger with her. However, she had to do so.

“I’m telling you that he pursued me so solicitously in high school that he sent a love letter to me outside my dormitory every day. This embarrassed me a lot, but I think that he managed to get a good end-result since you are his girlfriend now.”

Harsh as those words seemed, it was hard to question them, as Tang Xia would seem rather petty by doing so. To be honest, however, she was unable to let go.

The spectators in the broadcast room became quite fevered when they saw this scene. It had never occurred to them that the anchor would meet such an impossible person.

Those who favored Tang Xia were worried about whether she could deal with this scheming woman, while those who disliked her took pleasure in her misfortune and waited for her to embarrass herself.

However, Tang Xia was not in the mood to care about what was happening in the broadcast room for now. Song Sisi’s words had made her freeze. The only thought in Tang Xia’s mind was how this woman could be so shameless and not feel sad at all.

Before she could say anything, a knock was heard at the door. The knock was followed by Fang Yan’s voice. “Sisi, Tang Xia, it is time for dinner.”

“Sisi? What an intimate appellation! How daring of him to claim Song Sisi! Does he even care about me?”

When Tang Xia opened the door, Fang Yan’s gorgeous smile froze on his face. After all, he had not expected that someone other than Song Sisi would open the door.

“Let’s go,” said Song Sisi, who was standing behind Tang Xia, making Fang Yan put on a smile again. Fang Yan’s attitude toward them was quite different, so Tang Xia, who did not feel like exposing him, just felt a little upset.

“That’s alright. Let’s go.” Zhang Yaoyao approached Tang Xia and slipped her arm through hers without taking a glance at those two, who swaggered away.

This image did not allow Tang Xia to say anything else. She just followed them silently.

Although the housekeeper offered them a real feast, the gruesome atmosphere in the villa made everyone lose their appetite for the marvelous meal.

“What’s wrong? The meal is rather delicious. Hasn’t the housekeeper been well-prepared?”

The only one who was not affected by the atmosphere was probably Dabing, who had lived there in his free time. He looked at the others in confusion. No one dared to contradict him, so they all kept shaking their heads.

Tang Xia, who was rather calm, got busy enjoying the meatballs in her bowl without caring much about their attitude.

“Eat more. I remember that you like meat.”

The most disgusting couple at the dinner table had to be Song Sisi and Fang Yan, as one of them kept serving dishes while the other put a smile on her face. They acted as if they had been meant to get together this way.

Tang Xia put on a faint smile. She did not care about their bold behavior. After all, they were just data to her.

Just as everyone was about to enjoy the meal, Zhang Yaoyao screamed. Suddenly, the hall became rather quiet while everyone paused to look at Zhang Yaoyao.

Zhang Yaoyao grasped tightly Tang Xia, who was the nearest, and asked, “Haven’t you heard anything?”

As she finished her sentence, everyone’s faces became distorted.
