Leaving behind that sarcastic remark, Chun-Li turned and left without looking back.
As soon as they stepped outside, they were met by Yao Na and Geng Lang, who were waiting outside the door.
"Lili, are you alright?" Yao Na asked with concern. "Did Dad scold you?"
Chunli didn't want to talk to her. The words she said in the study earlier were taught to her by Chi Xia. If it were up to her temper, she would only say four words: "Believe it or not."
Looking at Yao Na's pretentious act, Chunli really wanted to retort sarcastically: "None of your business."
However, remembering Chi Xia's instructions, she didn't say anything in the end, glanced at Yao Na with some disdain, and walked past her.
Yao Na was completely ignored by Chunli. She wanted to go forward and perform her role as a magnanimous and gentle older sister in front of Geng Lang, but Geng Lang pulled her back.
Geng Lang glanced at Chunli's departing figure, frowned and said, "She treats you like this, so don't keep trying to win her over. If she wants to stay at this base, we'll give her half of the management rights. That would be doing right by our master. If she wants to leave, we won't stop her. It's her who owes you, not you who owes her."
Half of the management rights?
Yao Na sneered inwardly, "Why should I?"
Why should she, who manages the base perfectly well, have to give half of it to Chunli? Just because Chunli's surname is Fu?
Don't even think about it!
A ruthless glint flashed in Yao Na's heart. She looked up at Geng Lang, but her face remained gentle. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'll do whatever you say."
That evening, Yao Na invited Chi Xia and her group to dinner at her and Geng Lang's place, and Fu Yuan was also invited.
At the dinner table, Chunli took the initiative to introduce Qin Zhao to Fu Yuan: "Dad, this is my boyfriend. Don't let his seemingly weak appearance fool you. He is an eighth-level dual-elemental ability user. Even the senior brother is no match for him."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuan looked at Qin Zhao with a scrutinizing gaze, then at Geng Lang, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and said calmly, "You have found a new home, that's good."
This comparative gaze made Yao Na very uncomfortable. However, when she looked up and met Chun Li's provocative gaze, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Chunli didn't say anything, but Yao Na saw it all clearly.
She deliberately said Qin Zhao was better than Geng Lang, wasn't that just to show off to herself? Wasn't she just trying to tell her that no matter how hard she worked and used every means to snatch Geng Lang away, in the end she was still no better than her?
Yao Na gripped her chopsticks tightly, scooped up a mouthful of rice, but it tasted like nothing at all.
Chi Xia took in Yao Na's expression, then smiled and looked down.
The fire of jealousy has burned out considerably; all that's left is to create opportunities.
At the banquet, Qin Zhao behaved very well. This guy must have come from a very wealthy family before the apocalypse. You wouldn't usually tell, but today he deliberately put on the airs of a noble young master, and every move he made was elegant and exuded nobility.
The table manners and eating posture were completely different from when she was fighting for food with Wang Dalong and the others.
At this moment, Qin Zhao not only had excellent table manners, but also wore a proper smile. At the table, he took the initiative to talk to Fu Yuan and chat with Geng Lang, as if he could not see the estrangement between Chun Li and them at all.
Moreover, he started the conversation very well, choosing topics related to martial arts, which made him appear neither ignorant nor arrogant, and he was the epitome of a gentleman.
After the meal, not only did Geng Lang's attitude towards Qin Zhao improve considerably, but even Fu Yuan said, "The young man is not bad. Let's have a friendly spar sometime without using our special abilities."
