89 1.3.11: Birthday Banquet VII

After Zhou Lang uttered those words, a heavy silence loomed over the Zhou family.

They were still trying to process everything that Qiang Yue had said about them.

The doctor had indirectly insulted their open-mindedness and insulted them for being immature.

Zhou Yaoyao was still trying to forget the way that her beloved Yue'ge looked at her.

In all the years that she had known him, he had never looked at her so coldly before.

He had never treated her so harshly before.

He had never been so disappointed in her before.

She clenched her fists and remembered the way that he had declared that Xiahu Yunhua was his date.

She remembered the way that he looked at her.

She remembered the way that his eyes were bright then lulled when her grandfather unveiled the girl's lying nature.

Zhou Yaoyao wasn't dumb, she could see all the signs.

Qiang Yue was in love with Xiahu Yunhua.

The kind doctor who had never been interested in any women, be it a mature woman or immature girl like her, was finally in love with someone.

Zhou Yaoyao could feel her heart clenching with pain.

For so many years, she had loved him.

For so many years, she had devoted herself fully to him.

She hoped, no, she prayed, that one day, he would reciprocate her feelings.

She had even gone to the lengths of pretending to be interested in other men to make him jealous.

Yet the man wasn't even fazed.

In fact, he encouraged for her to be successful in her romance and relationships.

Zhou Yaoyao hadn't made it a secret.

She had tried to pursue the doctor on so many occasions, yet it always ended with the same responses of rejection.

To him, she was nothing other than the little sister he grew up with.

To her, he was the man that she was deeply in love with.

But even that unwanted yet fragile was shattered when he glared at her.

For the first time in her life, the spoiled Zhou Yaoyao had no idea how to redeem herself or how to make the situation better.

Subconsciously, she directed all her source of anger towards Xiahu Yunhua. If it weren't for the existence of that woman, then nothing would've gone wrong.

Her beloved Yue'ge would've never fallen in love with a woman.

Her beloved Yue'ge would still treat her fairly, albeit not the way she wanted.

She would have still been his little sister even though she would've preferred to be his wife.

"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Kang Yiyi placed her hand on her shoulder, giving her a sympathetic smile.

"Yiyi?" Zhou Yaoyao didn't like Kang Yiyi much, but they were still mutual friends.

They both hated Xiahu Yunhua, that was for sure.

Zhou Yaoyao shook her head, "I'm fine. You should worry about yourself." Her last statement was replied with snark, which surprisingly, didn't drive away Kang Yiyi. Instead, she gently smiled and grabbed the hand of Zhou Yaoyao despite her resistance.

When they were hidden away from the rest of the people there, Kang Yiyi took a deep breath and said, "You can speak your mind, I'm your friend and future cousin-in-law!"

Zhou Yaoyao chuckled sarcastically, "Since when did you have the heart of a saint?"

Kang Yiyi felt annoyed, but still maintained her kind expression. "Since I found out that the shameless bitch is vying after your man too."

Zhou Yaoyao tsked, "That's... understandable. I can still see Zhou Feng in love with her."

Kang Yiyi clenched her fists away from sight and frowned. Tears began to form in her eyes and she wrapped her arms around Zhou Yaoyao.

"Hey, what are you doing!? This is a limited edition dress, I can't have your tears ruin it!" Zhou Yaoyao whined but paused when she heard Kang Yiyi's next couple of words.

"What do you say... we destroy that bitch together?"

"Huh?"

"An enemy of an enemy is my friend. You have my phone number."

Zhou Yaoyao understood where she was getting at and Kang Yiyi pulls away.

Both women nodded as they had reached a form of silent agreement, immediately walking away from each other like they had never conversed.

As Kang Yiyi faced away from Zhou Yaoyao, a malicious smile spread on her face.

More and more mindless people were going to be manipulated by her...

Just like she the way that she had manipulated Ling Qiu to poison Qiang Luo to his death.

The world assumed it was another heart attack, but only the two women knew the truth...
