Zihua who never thought that Zhao Liying would ask him such a question was taken aback, but he dared not let it show. Zhao Liying would murder him cold-bloodedly if she dared learn that she was the only one drugged while he was sane when the ugly incident took place.
"Who knows, she might have paid the barman to drug my wine just like I paid them to drug hers," Zihua lied without batting an eye.
Yang Zi, for ruining what I have protected all my life, I am going to make you pay dearly. I will make you feel triple the pain that I am feeling right now. If I can't get you then, those you love will not be spared from my wrath.
Zhao Liying thought her eyes spitting out fire.
"For making me lose the two things I cherished most, I will make you pay in a way you can never imagine. All I did in the past was just a tip of the iceberg, but starting from now you will have a taste of what I am really capable If. Brace yourself up Yang Zi because the real war between us begins today and it is very obvious that I will be the winner in this battle," Zhao Liying said murderously.
"I am with you on this too," Zihua said. They both kept silent for a reasonable amount of time.
"Zihua, promise me you will never under any circumstances mention what happened here to anyone. Not even to Pei Yan," Zhao Liying chided.
"I promise I will never let a word of what happened here last night to anyone," Zihua promised, just like she wanted.
The heartbroken Zhao Liying later dragged her sore body to the bathroom. She freshened and dressed up in a clean outfit. Since she couldn't leave the hotel room in her terrible state, she kicked Zihua out of the room and locked herself up in the hotel. She was too ashamed to answer her mum and Pei Yan's many missed calls.
IN FENG'S MANSION
Immediately after Yang Zi and Yifeng finished having breakfast, their sitting-room door flew open, startling the relaxing couple. Shui Shui who was so worried about Yang Zi throughout the night rushed into the sitting room with Shiyi and Xiaofei heeling her.
The first thing Shui Shui did was to pull Yang Zi up from the couch and spin her around to make sure she was fine.
"Hello, Yifeng. She has been damn worried about Zi Er since last night, so pardon her manners," Xiaofei apologised on Shui Shui's behalf.
"I have witnessed just how much your woman loves my woman so, I will never take offence because of such a trivial thing," Yifeng said, his eyes glued on Yang Zi, whom Shui Shui was busy scolding.
"Hi, Shiyi. It is so nice to have you in my home," Yifeng greeted Shiyi.
"I am so glad to see that you and Zi Er are doing perfectly fine," Shiyi remarked instantly, taking his seat.
"Hi, Shiyi, Xiaofei I feel so happy getting to meet you guys so early in the morning," Yang Zi said after Shui Shui finally let her off the hook.
"Zi Er, you are fine, right? I hope Zhao Liying did not harm you in any way?" Shiyi who was dying for Shui Shui's conversation with Yang Zi to be over asked in a worried tone.
"Big bro, there is no need for that worried expression because your little sis is perfectly fine. I didn't sustain even a scratch last night," Yang Zi said playfully, as she and Shui Shui sat down on the other side of the couch facing the guys.
"Zi Er, it is so nice to hear that you are Ok because Shui Shui and I were anxious about your safety," Xiaofei said in relief.
"I feel so blessed to have so many people who love and care so much about me. Thank you so everyone and I am sorry for making all of you worried," Yang Zi said seriously.
"Guys, sorry, but I will have to steal my girlfriend away from all of you for a while. We have so much to talk about," Shui Shui said, pulling Yang Zi up before any of the guys could object. Shui Shui and Yang Zi used the porch while the guys used the sitting room.
"Zi Er, the guys are not here, so start talking. I want to know everything that sly bitch was up to last night," Shui Shui seriously.
"Did she truly want to apologise or was she only putting up an act?" Shui Shui asked curiously.
"Is it possible for people like her to just change overnight? You should know the answer without me telling you," Yang Zi chuckled when she recalled the flawless act Zhao Liying put up last night.
"Do you mean she was only pretending to be apologetic?" Shui Shui asked in shock. Her loud voice attracted the attention of the guys.
"Shui Shui, keep your voice down or the guys will overhear what we are discussing," Yang Zi said, covering Shui Shui's mouth when she turned around and saw that the guys were staring in their direction.
"If you know people like Zhao Liying find it hard to change, then why did you agree to go there even after knowing that it was a setup?" Shui Shui asked, sounding slightly confused.
"Shui Shui, I never knew that it was a setup. There are two reasons I went to the club, despite having doubts about her sudden apology message. The first reason was that I wanted to sincerely give her a chance to redeem herself, and the second reason was that I wanted to show her I am not the kind to be easily messed around with," Yang Zi said seriously.
"Your first reason means you would have let go of all your grudges towards her if her apologies were sincere and your second reason is for if she was unrepentant," Shui Shui said beaming when she understood what Yang Zi meant.
"Since you said earlier that she was just putting up an act, does that mean that you have shown her just how vicious you are?" Shui Shui asked, her eyes glittering in excitement.
"I did nothing vicious, I just used their evil plans against them. At the moment, I bet she must still be weeping after realising what happened," Yang Zi said smiling devilishly.
"Zi Er, what on earth did you do to her that will make her weep right now? Did you beat her up?" Shui Shui asked inquisitively.
"Hey Shui Shui, I didn't lay a finger on her. I just returned a favour," Yang Zi said, smiling triumphantly.
Beating her would have been a much better punishment than what she must be undergoing at the moment.
Yang Zi thought, not feeling an ounce of pity for the lady who abused her kindness. Zhao Liying wouldn't have had to go through what she is going through if she did not harm her first.
"If you didn't beat her up, then why would she be weeping? Zi Er, what exactly did you do to that mean lady?" Shui Shui asked anxiously. She wanted to know what Yang Zi did to Zhao Liying that was making her so happy.
"It's a secret. All you should know is that Zhao Liying got what she deserved," Yang Zi said, still smiling.
Although Zi Er refused to tell me what she did to that vicious lady, I am happy that she wasn't the one hurt. As long as Zhao Liying is the one who suffered a defeat, then I am happy.
Shui Shui thought her gaze on the smiling Yang Zi.
"Shui Shui, the guys must be bored talking alone, so let's go accompany them," Yang Zi said, standing up from the chair. They both headed back to the sitting room.
They all chatted and laughed for a long time.
"Guys, how about we do something more thrilling than just talking?" Yang Zi who got bored said her eyes glittering in excitement.
"Something more thrilling, like what?" Yifeng asked curiously.
"Do you know what we can do to make the atmosphere more exciting?" Xiaofei asked as he shifted his gaze to Yang Zi.
"Something like swimming competition, hand wrestling and singing competition. Those games are very exciting. It will make your blood boil in excitement," Shui Shui said delightedly.
"Yeah, Shui Shui is very right, but before that, let's play another game...,"
"Why are you keeping us in suspense? Just say the name of the game so we will know what to expect," Shui Shui who couldn't handle the suspense anymore said smiling.
"Let's play truth and dare," Yang Zi said bluntly.
"Truth and dare?" Shiyi asked, looking surprised.
"Yeah, I feel like we are keeping too many secrets from each other. This game will strengthen our bond better," Yang Zi said, staring at all their faces.
"Ok, but don't you feel like we are not complete in numbers?" Yifeng asked.
"Earlier before we came here, I called both Wen Min and Jin so you don't have to worry about our numbers," Shui Shui replied, beaming.
"Wow, my Shui Shui is not only reliable but also very sweet," Yang Zi said, smiling happily.
"We don't know how long it will take for them to get here so, how about we play some other games?" Shiyi who wasn't comfortable with the truth and dare game suggested.
