Chapter 188 - Stupid Man

"Eh, amulet?" Yang Xi Ying tilted her head confusedly.

"Its something Li Xin gave for me for protection," Lory said.

The young man called Master Gu stare at Yang Xi Ying and Lory he starts to believe everything is genuinely misunderstanding.

"Xi Ying, she is General Su Daughter and he pampered his granddaughter very much so, you're friend here hurting her would make the old general furious"

Yang Xi Ying snort in contempt "Don't shift blame easily Gu Lian Fu, you know part of it is your fault"

Lory feel the tension between the two of them "You know him?" Lory leans on Yang Xi Ying.

Yang Xi Ying scoffed "Not anymore, we should leave now," she said to Lory and ignore Gu Lian Fu stares.

Lory, Yang Xi Ying, and the Mong's brothers walk past Gu Lian Fu, suddenly he holds Yang Xi Ying wrist surprised by him she immediately swings her hand away from his grip.

"Master Gu, please respect yourself, I'm a woman with fiancée!" Yang Xi Ying glared at him than her maid gives her handkerchief which she used to wiped her wrist in disgusted and throw the handkerchief to her maid "Throw it away!"

"Yes, young miss" the maid bow courteously.

Gu Lian Fu's face turn dark "I hear you're fiancée is unwell, I just worry for you like an old friend," he said with a smile who didn't reach his eyes.

"My fiancée is alive and well so I don't need your concern and Master Fu stop acting as we close, we are not 'friend' for a very long time" Yang Xi Ying flick her sleeve and walk away without waiting for his retort.

Lory saw Gu Lian Fu's expression turn from upset to angry to sad and changed back to cold its happened so quickly so no one is noticing but for the princess who loves 'soap opera' way too much notice it easily.

'I smell of DRAMA! Where is that old bird?'

Yang Xi Ying didn't say anything until they reach Xiling tea house, the waiter with welcoming them with big smiles when the waiter led them to the private room in the second floor Lory realizes they everyone start gossiping when they see Yang Xi Ying walk in, Lory glance at Yang Xi Ying who seem ignoring them, she remains calm and composed just like elegant noble lady should do.

A moment later there attention shift on Lory who walk side by side with Yang Xi Ying, Lory beautiful dress astonished them the young women stare at Lory dress with green and envy at the same time they try to guess what is Lory background, a few young men gazing at Lory even though she's not as beautiful as Yang Xi Ying but they're's a shooting air around her that make people comfortable just by looking at her.

Mong Ki stand beside Lory blocking all the men view, they can't imagine if their lord knew about is he already afraid how his Lord punish them because that weird girl who attacks the young miss they can't make another mistake.

When they arrive the private room the waiter close the door, Mong Ki and Mong Yi waiting outside to guard the door so only Lory, Yang Xi Ying and her maid who were inside the room, Yang Xi Ying sigh in relieved she looks at Lory in remorse "I'm sorry its all because you with me seems like the bad rumor about me hasn't stop"

"Don't worry about it, I used to with Zhao Li Xin so I used to this" Lory said jokingly.

Yang Xi Ying giggles and her mood lifted a little bit, Lory is a mysterious woman talking with her it's so comforting you will start to let your guard down and be honest is not easy to pretend in front of her, she has a clear big beautiful eyes that can stare deep in through you're heart.

The waiter than come again serving the food for them after they finish they bow courteously and left the room, Lory who sick and tired eating white rice shift the bowl of rice away and take the dish on the small plate.

"I know Gu Lian Fu when I seven years old," said Yang Xi Ying suddenly, Lory only glance a second to her then she started to eat her meal, Lory casual reaction calmed her down she takes a deep breath then continue "We were quite close when we were a kid he always nice to me….he like a big brother to me but when we get older he starts to keep his distance for me and he becomes mean to me, I never know the reason though…"

Lory laments to herself 'Ahh, youth…'

"And that crazy woman we met before is Su Qin Qin she is General Su Xin Tao favorite granddaughter, I also knew her when were kids and she also the reason why I have a relationship with that trash man Han Yuan" Yang Xi Yin gritted her teeth when she speaks Han Yuan name.

"Let me guess…" Lory swallow her food than she drinks her tea and continues "That Su woman matchmaking you with Han Yuan so she can have Gu Lian Fu for herself"

Yang Xi Ying face turn red from shame, she feel even more stupid when lory put it that way, how could she not see Su Qin Qin cheap trick on her perhaps Su Qin Qin knew that Han Yuan only want to use her and throw her away after she had no use anymore, Yang Xi Ying clenched her hands together until her hand become pale.

"And what that Gu… something said about it" Lory pick a chicken thigh to her plate nonchalantly.

Yang Xi Yin pursed her lips "Other than said how stupid I am he didn't say anything else" she sighs, then her maid puts a bowl of soup in front of her with sad looks for her young Miss.

"What make me angry is because even though he knew Han Yuan wants to harm me he never warn me, if only he said something I might not fall this far, I always respect him as an older brother but why he…." Yang Xi Ying expression downcast than she continue again "And when Han Yuan spread nasty rumor about me my father tries to saves my reputation by arranged my engagement with Gu Lian Fu, my father do this behind my back because he scared I would reject this and of course I would reject this if I know about it, I can't marry my owned brother!"

Lory who already full she wipes her mouth with a clean cloth "Than what happened?"

"He suddenly comes to my place, accused me to take advantage of his good reputation after I can't use Han Yuan anymore then he said I'm a selfish woman who only thinks about myself without care for other people, he said I want to ruin his future…." Yang Xi Ying's eyes turn wet, her chin trembles trying to hold her tears "And he said more hurtful words..." Yang Xi Ying let out a long heaved than she swiftly drinks her tea in a swift.

"But then you meet Master Li Mo Zhen, so is not that bad isn't it…." Lory raised her eyebrows.

When she hears Li Mo Zhen name her face immediately lit up with a bright smile "You right, it ends well…"

"See, sometimes you need to be wrong to be right" Lory cheers with her teacup.

Yang Xi Ying giggles, she also raised her teacup "I cheer for that.." then she drinks her tea in a happy mood.

"If you don't mind, tell me what happened after both of you fight"

Yang Xi Ying wiped the corner of her lips with her finger elegantly "After that, I said to my Father that I rather die then marry him and my father have no choice to stop his plan than a few months later I visit my family villa near Hung Zi mountain to take a break from all that nasty rumors and than…..I met Brother Li Mo Zhen" her mouth unconsciously curves.

"Aww…that's how you met the first time, how sweet…" Lory props her chin with her two hands.

"The first time I met him, I thought he was a ghost so…. I throw a knife on him" she said shyly.

Lory eyes sparkling "So passionated from the firs met, aww it's so romantic" Lory feel giddy just imagined the scene like in soap opera movie.

Yang Xi Ying turn red like a ripe tomato, Lory suddenly clapped her hand "That Master Gu seems to know about Master Li illness"

"Not just him, everyone knows some people already said I'm a harbinger of bad luck" Yang Xi Ying sigh again "What I don't understand, Gu Lian Fu suddenly come to my place asking for engagement with ME! Can you believe that!" she hit the table with her palm.

"When Brother Li was in a dire situation he asking me to leaved brother Li and marry him! He even said is for my owned good he said he want to save me to mend my reputation, is he crazy! What kinda woman he thinks I am to leave my fiancée fight for his owned live alone!"

Lory stifles than she shakes her head helplessly "Than what happened?" although she could guess it won't end well.

"I burn all the gift that he bought for my family on his face!!" Yang Xi Ying scoffed in disgusted.

Lory laugh dryly 'What a stupid Man'
