Chapter 08 The real Yao Haiyan is back 3
When we got back, it was already time for lunch.
Because we didn't want anyone to find out that we had been out, Cheng Ximing and I planned to enter through the back door of the banquet hall.
After walking through the long corridor and turning a corner, I arrived at the banquet hall. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor, I quickly took off my high heels and walked barefoot on the ground.
Fortunately, there were thick blankets on the floor, otherwise my feet would be frozen now.
"Hey, I'll go in first, and you can follow me in five minutes later. This way no one will get suspicious."
On the way, Cheng Ximing discussed with me.
"I know, you've said it several times." I said impatiently.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the corridor ahead. It was between a man and a woman, and the voices sounded familiar.
Cheng Ximing suddenly grabbed my arm and signaled me not to go forward.
Obviously, he also recognized whose voice it was.
Actually, I had no interest in eavesdropping on other people's conversations, but Cheng Ximing pulled me aside and I had no choice but to listen.
"Cheng Xijun, let me ask you, in your heart, what am I, Murong Shan? You knew how I felt about you, so why didn't you stand up just now? Do you really want me to be with Chi Yanze?"
Chi Yanze?
Why does it involve Chi Yanze?
What on earth happened while we were away?
What does the triangle relationship between Murong Shan and the two brothers Cheng Xijun and Cheng Ximing have to do with Chi Yanze?
I was so excited that I almost screamed, but Cheng Ximing covered my mouth in time.
"Don't you know that if our family and the Chi family are married, your Cheng family will not be able to fight against the Chi family at all? In this case, are you still not going to fight for me?"
Murong Shan continued, her tone very angry.
After a moment of silence, a cold male voice sounded. It was Cheng Xijun's voice: "I am ambitious and have thought about being with you and winning over your family's power. But I tried and I can't do it because I don't like you. If you don't want to follow your father's arrangements and don't want to be with Chi Yanze, you can go find Ximing. I think he will take you away. Compared to me, you will be happier with Ximing. At least he has you in his heart."
I felt Cheng Ximing tighten his grip on my hand, and his face looked gloomy.
"In your heart, I'm actually nothing, right? That's why you can say and push me to Cheng Ximing! How have I treated you in the past few years? I put down my airs for you and tried hard to please you, but am I really not as good as that servant's daughter Yao Haiyan? Do you think I don't know that you like her? When she was a child, she loved to pester you, and you ignored her, but you didn't hurt her. During the years when she disappeared, even if you didn't want to admit it, I can still see that you have always been thinking about that girl. Even last time, when she disappeared in the park, you looked for her like crazy. When you saw her washing dishes with Chi Yanze, you deliberately sent her away to go shopping. It's because of her that you don't like me, right?"
Murong Shan said excitedly, not caring at all that anyone might hear her.
Could it be that my previous guess was correct, Cheng Xijun really likes Yao Haiyan?
"That's enough. Stop talking. It's none of your business who I like. Don't think I don't know what you did in the park last time. How did you get the wound on your hand? Why did you hide your hand when you saw Yao Haiyan? I know all this clearly. I didn't point it out to save your face. So, don't challenge my bottom line again. Don't do meaningless things. Even if you come up with more vicious plans to hurt her, I won't like you."
Cruel words came out of Cheng Xijun's mouth, and at that moment, I seemed to hear Murong Shan crying.
Actually, I don't hate her, even though she once pushed me down into that dark hole.
Because I know that she just likes Cheng Xijun too much.
There's nothing wrong with liking someone.
"So, should I thank you? Thank you for tolerating me? Humph! Cheng Xijun, you are really cruel." Murong Shan sneered.
There were footsteps, and before Cheng Ximing and I could hide, Murong Shan had already rushed out. When she saw us, she was stunned for a moment, then glared at me fiercely, wiped the tears from her face arrogantly, and ran away without looking back.
I quickly urged Cheng Ximing beside me to chase him, but before I could say anything, he had disappeared.
I wanted to leave, but it was too late. Cheng Xijun appeared in my sight. His face was as cold as ever. With his hands in his pockets, he looked at me coldly and asked, "How long have you been eavesdropping?"
Brother, could you not be so shrewd? Nothing can escape your eyes.
"Not long ago, I just got here." I wiped the cold sweat from my head, swallowed hard, and laughed dryly.
"No matter how much you heard, erase everything you heard from your mind and don't speculate on it."
Cheng Xijun frowned and threatened.
I nodded my head like a chick pecking at rice and replied, "Don't worry, I won't misunderstand that you like me."
I can only guess that you like Yao Haiyan.
Who told you to know that I’m the fake Yao Haiyan!
Otherwise, I would be so arrogant as to think that you like me!
Of course, this is impossible.
"I'm glad to know." Cheng Xijun said coldly, then took a step and walked past me.
When I thought he was leaving and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned around, looked at me sinisterly and said, "Chi Yanze is looking for you. If you don't show up, he will probably make a fool of himself again. Finally, I would like to advise you that since you are a fake Yao Haiyan, you must recognize your duty. I can't control your affairs with Chi Yanze, but don't involve Cheng Ximing. The Cheng family is not someone you can afford to hook up with."
Okay, your family is noble, I can't afford to hook up with you, nor do I want to hook up with you.
Humph, what's so great about it!
I really don’t know if Murong Shan has poor eyesight or what, she actually fell in love with him.
In my opinion, Cheng Ximing is a hundred times better than him.
Even though I had criticized Cheng Xijun a thousand times in my heart, I still had a smile on my face and said "yes" to him in a flattering manner.
Even I despise my own cowardice. What is there for him to be afraid of? Isn't it just that his family has some money?
After Cheng Xijun left, I took a deep breath, walked through the corridor, opened the back door, and walked into the banquet hall, searching for Chi Yanze.
Although I don’t know what happened after I left, and why Murong Shan said she didn’t want to be with Chi Yanze, I think Chi Yanze would be very worried if he couldn’t find me.
Sure enough, Cheng Xijun was right. Chi Yanze was looking for me like crazy.
