Wen Yingyue didn't let this faze her, "Sister Jingfei, you're also invited to attend as well."
Xiong Jingfei smiled and nodded her head. She knows Wen Yingyue never meant to invite her, but she can't do anything about it when she is Yang Zheyan's fiance. Wherever Yang Zheyan goes, his fiancee will be there with him.
"Brother Zheyan," Wen Yingyue sat back down on her seat. "A servant told me that aunty was looking for you."
Yang Zheyan's voice went down a degree, "Why?"
W-why? Wen Yingyue didn't think he was going to ask her this. Don't people normally just go look for that person to ask?
"I'm not sure, but I was asked by a servant running an errand to let you know." Wen Yingyue said, relaying the message she was told. "I... I'm not lying."
"I know." Yang Zheyan got up from his seat. "I'll be right back."
Once Yang Zheyan leaves, all that is left are two people who are bound to become enemies. Whether it was in the past life or in this lifetime.
"You're a mute, aren't you?" Wen Yingyue dropped all politeness in her voice.
Xiong Jingfei smiled. This is the Wen Yingyue she was more familiar with. That kind and shyness type didn't match her one bit.
"Break it off with brother Zheyan." Wen Yingyue got straight to the point. She didn't have a lot of time to talk to Xiong Jingfei alone. She also didn't want to have too many interactions with her, either. "What do you want in return for breaking it off?"
If Xiong Jingfei had her voice, she would have laughed in Wen Yingyue's face. She made it sound like it was SO easy to break this engagement off. If it was, would she be sitting here and making a fool out herself with Yang Zheyan?
"Are you mocking me? You're nothing in comparison to me. I am a better match for brother Zheyan!" Wen Yingyue hissed but kept her voice quiet.
She would be a fool to not see what a joke she was in Xiong Jingfei's eyes. She grabbed Xiong Jingfei's glass cup filled with juice and poured on herself.
Xiong Jingfei immediately stood up. What the fu-... She was startled that Wen Yingyu would pour the juice on herself. Wouldn't it make more sense to throw it at her?
"B-brother Zheyan…" Wen Yingyu cried, wiping the juice away from stinging her eyes. "Why… Why would you do this to me, sister Feifei?"
Ah, now it makes sense why Wen Yingyue would throw it at herself.
"Brother Zheyan, I apologize if I said anything to offend sister Feifei. I didn't think she would throw her juice at me." Wen Yingyue pitifully cried, and if any man saw her right now. They would run and comfort her.
"Feifei…" Yang Zheyan glanced over at her.
"What is this commotion?" Song Liqin returned from her small break but felt a bigger headache seeing Wen Yingyue drenched in juice. "Xiong Jingfei, what is the meaning of this!?"
Haaah, Xiong Jingfei sighed. Those eyes are accusing her of doing something she didn't do. It doesn't change, whether she's at home or here. They're the exact same when they're trying to put the blame on her.
"I didn't like you, but I thought you were at least a polite person! How can you do this to Ying!?" Song Liqin pointed her fingers at Xiong Jingfei and held Wen Yingyue in her arms. "Come, let me get you something to change into."
All flooding memories of how Li Roulan and Xiong Changchang used to treat her came flooding back. No! She told herself when she left that hellish place called home that she will become a stronger person. She promised this to that mysterious person who saved her that night.
"I'm sorry…" Wen Yingyu cried as she muttered those words but under those hands covering her face. A smile was so brightly shown that it was almost hard to unseen.
Are you sorry? Xiong Jingfei now understands why she questioned the juice wasn't thrown at her.
She grabbed a serving spoon and threw it. It hit Wen Yingyue perfectly on the back and she turned around right away. She grabbed Yang Zheyan's juice that wasn't touched and threw it. Because she was the person who was meant to throw it at them. Not the other way around!
It didn't just get on Wen Yingyue but also on Song Liqin. Now, they can say that she was the person that did it.
"You! Insolent child!" Song Liqin shouted. She couldn't believe she was going to give Xiong Jingfei a chance with her son. No way is she going to let it happen now! She was right, Wen Yingyue is the right person for her son.
"Mother!" Yang Zheyan roared, scaring everyone that even Wen Yingyue's pitiful cry was nowhere to be heard. He looked up at Wen Yingyu, "Are you sure you didn't do anything to Feifei?"
Wen Yingyue opened and shut her mouth a couple of times. He raised his voice to ask if she did anything to Xiong Jingfei? Shouldn't it be the other way around? She was the person drenched in juice!
She answered, "N-no."
"Are you sure?" Yang Zheyan asked again to make sure Wen Yingyue was standing firm on her answer.
"Yes, I'm sure!" Wen Yingyue firmly stood on her answer. Why does he keep asking like he overheard their conversation… No, it was possible. Aunty was really looking for him! It was an excuse to get him out of the room, but it wasn't a lie.
"Son! Are you still protecting her after seeing what she did to Ying!?" Song Liqin couldn't believe her son's protectiveness of Xiong Jingfei would go this far. Even after seeing it happen, he will still side with her!
"Yes." Yang Zheyan answered without hesitating. He looked over at her, "I believe she didn't do it… Well, except for that second cup."
Xiong Jingfei felt her eyes becoming teary. He actually believed she didn't do it the first time... Does he really trust her? They barely know each other, and he said he believed her over his childhood friend and mother.
"Mother, we had a wonderful dinner today. I especially did." Yang Zheyan touched his lips and smiled at Xiong Jingfei. He walked up to her and extended out his right hand for her, "Are you ready to go home, darling~?"
Home… Xiong Jingfei nodded her head. She is ready to go to that house with him.
