Chapter 270: A Storm of Jealousy

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Liu Chengyu looked at Xiao Sa with a frown and said seriously, “I don't want to force Rourou. Like I just said, I can wait for her, no matter how long it takes.”

“You're forcing her, okay?” Xiao Sa stared coldly at Liu Chengyu and said angrily, “You are pressuring her by saying that you can wait for her! If Rourou chooses another man, won't it look like a betrayal towards you? You are just forcing her to choose you by saying these words.”

Liu Chengyu was speechless. He gazed deeply at Xiao Sa, then turned to Tang Xi and asked in a low voice, “Rourou, do you think the same way as Xiao Sa? Do you think I'm forcing you to choose me by telling you that I'll wait for you forever and I'll give you time to consider whether to choose me or not?”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and was about to speak, when He Wanyi who was previously watching silently, suddenly said, “To be honest, President Liu, I think your behavior is not very proper. You are almost a stranger to Xiao Rou. How can you go so far by telling her you'll wait for her forever? If I were her, I would be confused. What kind of nut job would say those words to me, when meeting me for only the third time?!”

She turned to look at Tang Xi and raised her eyebrows. “Rourou, am I right?”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and didn't say anything. He Wanyi shrugged, but Qiao Liang who was sitting at the judging table couldn't keep silent anymore. Seeing that Tang Xi wasn't saying anything, he suddenly stood up and said to Liu Chengyu, “I remember how deeply President Liu loved Xiao Jinning a month ago. Why is it that you now fall for another girl as soon as Xiao Jinning's real ident.i.ty became exposed?”

Liu Chengyu squinted coldly at Qiao Liang. “It was I who revealed her real ident.i.ty because what I hate the most is to be cheated by someone. Since Xiao Jinning is not a member of the Xiao Family, she can't occupy the position that doesn't belong to her and make the real Miss Xiao suffer. I don't think I've done anything wrong!”

“That's just because you happen to like Xiao Rou.” Xiao Jing slowly smoothed his suit and looked indifferently at Liu Chengyu as he said word by word, “If the person you like is Xiao Jinning, and you have no feelings for Xiao Rou, then even if you find out about Xiao Jinning's real ident.i.ty, you'll cover it up for her in order to be together with her. However, you are attracted by Xiao Rou's beauty and talent. You like her and think that she shouldn't be a country b.u.mpkin but should be a real fair lady from a decent family, so when you overheard the story of Xiao Jinning and Xiao Rou, you couldn't bear it. You wanted to help Xiao Rou get back what she deserved, win her favor at the same time and get rid of Xiao Jinning who you disliked but had to marry.”

“Shut up!” Liu Chengyu was thoroughly agitated because Xiao Jing really hit the nail on the head. He stared coldly at Qiao Liang and thundered, “You know nothing about me! I just don't want to see people being cheated by Xiao Jinning's lies!”

“That's enough.” Tang Xi suddenly stood up. She looked at the three men who were fighting for her, and said with a straight face, “Stop it.” She then turned to Liu Chengyu and pursed her lips. “And Mr. Liu, let me be frank with you. We can be friends, but we can never be lovers, because I have a man who I love.”

Liu Chengyu was stunned, and Qiao Liang who was standing behind Liu Chengyu smiled, and looked at Tang Xi lovingly. He Wanyi noticed Qiao Liang's affectionate eyes and chuckled. “Rourou, it's time for you to go backstage to prepare for your performance.”

He Wanyi blinked. “The judges have are already ready. You must win tonight. Come on, hurry and go prepare for it.”

Liu Chengyu's eyes lit up when he heard this and he asked excitedly, “Will you give a performance tonight. Rourou? What will you perform?”

Tang Xi smiled awkwardly. “I'll play the piano.” Then she cast a helpless glance at He Wanyi and said to Liu Chengyu, “Please excuse my poor performance.”

He Wanyi shrugged. “Excuse what? Your second brother just said he taught you how to play piano and you were a genius. I promise I won't laugh at you.”

Tang Xi looked at He Wanyi helplessly and nodded at the people. “Sorry, I'm going to prepare for my performance.”

She was the first to perform, so it was time for her to prepare for it. He Wanyi laughed. “Prettie, I'll go with you. I have a gift for you.”

Tang Xi looked surprised at He Wanyi who took her outside with a smile. Away some distance He Wanyi said with a smile, “Hey, girl, you're really good. It's the first time I have seen Qiao Liang was so jealous for a woman since during my childhood! He wouldn't even look at a woman, let alone feel jealous for her. Take myself for example, I always hung out with him since I was little, but Qiao Liang never paid special attention on me. Even when we went to the buffet, he wouldn't pay for me and only paid for the boys. Can you believe it?”

Tang Xi didn't believe what she said. She laughed. “You don't have to say this. I think he is a normal man, and I heard he fell for a girl when he was in high school, and he loved her a lot.”

“Well…” He Wanyi looked at Tang Xi helplessly. “Can you stop smiling so happily when you said he loved another girl? He loved another girl not you!”

Tang Xi. “…” Oh, she forgot she was Xiao Rou now again.

“Well, anyway he can be really romantic sometimes. Do you know what, forget it.” Tang Xi was a bit shy being stared at by He Wanyi and kept walking. After walking for two steps, she stopped, looked back at He Wanyi and raised her eyebrows. “Sister Wanyi, didn't you say you would give me a gift? What is it?”

“You're still a little girl and have no clue of some dark rules of this school.” He Wanyi walked over, put her arm around her shoulder and whispered, “My gift will save you at the critical time. What do you think? Do you want it?”

Tang Xi laughed and raised her eyebrows. “This is just an art performance. Why do you make me feel like I'm in a palace survival drama?”

“I'm not kidding. You'll find out soon.” He Wanyi said meaningfully.
