Chapter 127 Schemes Begin Again

"Stop your nonsense and get up right now!"

Xia Chengping is not a reasonable person. Jiang Jingting is not worthy to take his position!

Xia Chengping grabbed Jiang Jingting by the collar, pulled her up, and threw her aside.

He tossed her plate over, put down his own, and obediently sat down.

He showed absolutely no mercy or pity for the woman.

The splashed food stained my clothes.

Jiang Jingting screamed as she stood up and frantically wiped the dirt off her body.

He stomped his feet and cursed.

"Xia Chengping, you're a bastard! You laid a hand on a woman!"

"The words 'pity the lady' don't exist in my dictionary. Besides, you asked for this. This isn't your place. Your place is next to the trash can."

Xia Chengping arrogantly pointed to the trash can on the side, indicating that that was where Jiang Jingting was supposed to be.

Trash should stay in the trash can.

"You call me trash, but what good are you? You bully people in school because of your family background. Do you believe I'll expose your deeds and ruin your reputation?"

"Go ahead! So what if I bully you? What are you going to do about it?! Your impotent rage is disgusting!"

Xia Chengping continued to add.

"You should be glad I don't have a habit of hitting women directly, otherwise I would have broken your leg today."

"I've disliked your manipulative, green tea bitch type for a long time."

"Calling me 'young brother' like that? Look at your old face! You're old enough to be an auntie, what are you pretending to be young for!"

Xia Chengping was a man of deep thought; every word he uttered was like a knife to the heart, each one piercing Jiang Jingting's soul.

Jiang Jingting clutched her chest, nearly fainting from anger.

Cong Yun ran over, helped Jiang Jingting up, and cautiously peeked at them.

He whispered words of persuasion to Jiang Jingting.

"Jingting, don't argue with them. We're no match for them. Let's go!"

Jiang Jingting glanced at Cong Yun, then looked at Zhou Ran again.

She pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and lowered her voice.

"Brother Ran, are you just going to stand by and watch him bully me?"

Zhou Ran was then distracted from her serious eating.

He tilted his head and looked at Jiang Jingting, his face full of confusion.

Are you calling me? I don't know you!

"puff!"

Xia Cheng'an was the first to laugh, followed by Fu Xuan and Li Quan.

Laughter seemed to be contagious, and everyone in the cafeteria joined in.

They were enjoying the show and just wanted to be quiet bystanders. Why did you suddenly try to make them laugh?

"you!……"

This time, Jiang Jingting was so angry that she felt dizzy.

Was all that she said these past few days for nothing?

Damn Xia Chengping, damn Zhou Ran.

They were just playing her for a fool. She was determined to make them regret it and pay the price for their mockery.

Xia Chengping laughed wildly and slapped Zhou Ran's shoulder hard.

"If we're talking about being sarcastic, you're the one who's really scathing, one sentence is all it takes to kill."

"Have you finished laughing? Stop laughing!"

Jiang Jingting shouted that all these people were bullying her.

Xia Cheng'an, carrying a tray, passed by the furious Jiang Jingting and sat down opposite Zhou Ran.

There's only one seat left for four people.

Li Quan, that scoundrel, was quick-witted and nimble; in a flash, he sat down next to Xia Cheng'an.

Fu Xuan, who hadn't finished laughing, realized what was happening and tried to grab a seat, but all the seats were already taken.

The unconventional young master Fu Xuan simply pulled over a stool from the side and squeezed next to Li Quan, turning a two-person space into a three-person one.

Li Quan glanced at him and received a fawning smile in return.

Li Quan silently turned his head to continue watching the show; arguing with this idiot was too much of a waste of energy.

Jiang Jingting shook off Cong Yun and walked over, standing directly next to Zhou Ran.

“Brother Ran, I told you before that the betrothal between you and me since childhood was arranged by my aunt and my mother. I came here this time to fulfill the marriage agreement.”

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough!"

"cough!"

There was a series of coughs; those who were drinking water choked, and those who weren't choking on their own saliva.

Ignoring the water spraying onto his body, Xia Chengping grabbed Jiang Jingting's shoulder.

"What? What did you say? You're engaged to someone?"

Jiang Jingting struggled against his hand.

"You're hurting me! Are you deaf? I just said that I'm engaged to Zhou Ran. We're childhood sweethearts, and our families arranged it. I'm his fiancée!"

Jiang Jingting raised her chin high, her fair neck straight, a typical swan neck.

"Holy shit!"

Xia Chengping pointed at Jiang Jingting and looked at Zhou Ran.

"Brother Zhou! Is this true? You're engaged to this stupid woman?"

Zhou Ran looked Jiang Jingting up and down. She didn't seem like a fool, and her purpose was clearly not for her. Why would she want to solidify their relationship?

He hadn't ignored what Jiang Jingting said before, he just couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

What does the promise made by the previous generation have to do with him?

Besides, he never called that stupid, dead woman "Mom" even once.

That stupid woman didn't even know he existed.

If anyone is to fulfill a promise, it's that guy from Zhou Dynasty who will do it; what does it have to do with him?

Jiang Jingting has been clinging to him these past two days; it's clear she has ulterior motives.

He initially thought he wanted to win over Xia Chengping and have a bickering couple relationship.

Seeing that she was truly disgusted with Xia Chengping, I guessed that she was using me as a stepping stone and had many other desires.

The fox's tail hadn't even been revealed before it exploded.

This woman is dumber than I thought.

Xia Chengping was frightened by the way Zhou Ran looked at Jiang Jingting.

He's not falling for his brother and wanting to abandon him to marry another woman, is he?

Xia Chengping grabbed Zhou Ran's arm.

Her tone was urgent. "Zhou Ran, this woman is clearly up to no good. Don't fall for her tricks. Besides, it's an agreement from the older generation. It's been so many years. Auntie's ashes have already been buried, and they only came now. They're obviously wolves in sheep's clothing."

Zhou Ran turned to look at Xia Chengping.

"Oh, I know."

"Hey, how can you be so calm? This fiancée suddenly appeared out of nowhere, aren't you going to leave her behind?"

Zhou Ran's attitude was too indifferent, making Xia Chengping feel like he was punching cotton.

She kept analyzing Jiang Jingting's faults for Zhou Ran.

"Look at her, she has a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and she's ugly..."

Zhou Ran listened attentively and continued eating.

Jiang Jingting stomped her foot angrily. This was not what she had imagined at all!

Given Zhou Ran's current situation, his family doesn't care about him, and he's living under someone else's roof.

They should be overjoyed to know they are engaged.

Are you so eager to establish a relationship with her?

Why is your reaction so calm?

Could something be wrong?

Jiang Jingting was puzzled as to why things were different from what she had imagined.

"Brother Ran, we..."

Jiang Jingting wanted to say something more, but perhaps she didn't know about her family's circumstances, which is why she reacted this way.

If she reveals her family background, perhaps her perspective will change.

She simply couldn't believe that there were people who didn't like money and actually enjoyed being bullied.

“Miss Jiang, I advise you to be careful with your words. There are some things you can say and some things you can’t say. Zhou Ran has nothing to do with you.”

Jiang Jingting looked at the person who spoke, and it turned out to be Xia Cheng'an, not Li Quan.

He actually spoke up, ostensibly to persuade her, but actually siding with Zhou Ran.

Jiang Jingting's gaze shifted between Xia Chengan and Zhou Ran.

The atmosphere between them seemed strange.

Seeing Zhou Ran eating calmly, Xia Chengping put the ribs from his bowl into Zhou Ran's bowl.

"Eat more meat, you're too thin. There's some stewed soup here."

Those nourishing soups were specially sent by my older brother, just in case Zhou Ran wouldn't eat them, so he made him watch him drink them.

Jiang Jingting's gaze lingered on the intimate actions of the two.

Xia Cheng'an saw that look and a wicked smile appeared in his eyes.

He casually pulled out a tissue from the side and reached out.

Zhou Ran looked up at Xia Cheng'an, her eyes questioning him.

What is this supposed to be?

Xia Cheng'an took a tissue and wiped away the soup that had accidentally spilled on his chin.

"It's going to fall on your clothes."

"oh."

Zhou Ran obediently raised her chin, indicating that he should check if there was any left and wipe it off together.

Xia Cheng'an gently wiped Zhou Ran's chin before tossing the tissue aside.

Xia Chengping's mouth dropped open in surprise when he saw this action.

Muttering to myself.

Has Xia Cheng'an taken the wrong medicine?

I usually avoid Brother Zhou, afraid of being punished by him.

Why are you suddenly being so attentive this time?

Could it be that she knows Zhou is engaged and is worried that he will be snatched away by a bad woman?

Thinking about it, I think this reason is valid and quite reliable.

He decided to treat Brother Zhou even better.

No matter what, we can't let Brother Zhou leave his lonely older brother.

It's not easy for his older brother to find someone he likes.

He absolutely cannot become a stumbling block on his brother's path to love.

"Try this drink, I remember you like it."

Xia Chengping handed over the drinks; thankfully, he was quick-witted and bought extra drinks.

"good."

Jiang Jingting stared at the scene in shock.

Once the mind is opened, it's like an unstoppable flood, rushing forth uncontrollably.

She saw something, wiped her mouth, and thought Xia Cheng'an's actions were too ambiguous.

Xia Chengping actually took the opportunity to touch a man's hand.

Jiang Jingting covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming. She needed to calm down; perhaps this was a good handle to use against her.

Jiang Jingting looked in Li Quan's direction.

This might be a good opportunity; she should seize it.

Cong Yun lowered his head and hid behind Jiang Jingting.

She saw everything that happened and silently clenched her fists.

She knew Zhou Ran was a restless man.

She knew then that she hadn't wronged Zhou Ran back then.

He's a male mistress, a shameless slut who sleeps with anyone!

Jiang Jingting, this fiancée, is a fool who can be used.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Jingting pulled Cong Yun away.

After everyone left, Fu Xuan nudged Li Quan's chest with his elbow.

"See that? A storm is brewing, the winds are howling!"

"I see. He's just an idiot. What big waves can he make?"

Li Quan spoke nonchalantly.

These kinds of people wear their minds on their sleeves and think everyone else is as stupid as they are.

Don't say they can't outmaneuver Zhou Ran.

They couldn't even beat Xia Chengping and his allies.

Li Quan looked at Xia Cheng'an, especially since Xia Cheng'an was also involved this time.

"This is going to be interesting. Let's make a bet. How long do you think they can keep this up?"

"How many days are you betting?"

Li Quan looked at Fu Xuan, "Is there a wager?"

"I bet a week that my sister recently gave me a car. What about you?"

Li Quan looked at the Porsche car keys slapped on the table, and thinking about Fu Xuan's taste, he felt that this car wasn't absolutely necessary.

"Hey! What kind of look is that? It's a black car!"
