Chapter 465: Ex-girlfriend (12)
"Who has the patience to plot against you? I don't even know you. It was you who came to my house to cause trouble for no reason. Can't I find the culprit and solve the problem?" Zuo Shichu said impatiently. These high-ranking young ladies tend to take themselves too seriously and think that everyone knows her, wants to harm her, and wants to snatch her ideal husband away.
Zhen Meizhu was extremely anxious. She had approached Zuo Shichu without telling Zhongli Ximo, hoping to deal with this love rival in private. However, she had not expected that this love rival was so cunning and directly exposed her intentions to Zhongli Ximo, catching her off guard.
"When Brother Zhongli comes, do you know what to say? Just say that I was joking with you, understand?" Zhen Meizhu warned Zuo Shichu.
Zuo Shichu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think Zhong Ximo is a fool?"
"You!" Zhen Meizhu was so angry that her face turned red. People like them who came from wealthy families always threatened or intimidated others in private and would never do it openly. She thought Zuo Shichu was also such a person, and even if she came to threaten him, he would just endure it silently. But she didn't expect that she would simply overturn the table and call the central figure directly.
Zhen Meizhu always maintained a false appearance of elegance and gentleness in front of the Zhongli family, just to make an impression on them, especially Zhongli Ximo and his mother. She pretended to be gentle and generous for so long, wasn't it just to please them and become Zhongli Ximo's wife? But now, Zuo Shichu's reckless behavior made all her previous efforts go to waste. It would be strange if Zhen Meizhu didn't hate her.
"When Brother Zhongli comes over, you'd better know what you should say. If you say something you shouldn't, you'd better be careful about your own work and your family..." Zhen Meizhu threatened with narrowed eyes.
Zuo Shichu's pretty face suddenly turned cold. She could tolerate Zhen Meizhu threatening her, but she could not tolerate her scheming against her parents in this life. Father and mother Zuo were very sincere to her, but Zhen Meizhu used them to threaten her, so she could not let it go.
"If anything happens to my parents, I will make you regret being born into this world." Zuo Shichu looked at her coldly with frosty eyes.
Zhen Meizhu was frightened by her sudden fierce aura, but she quickly reacted and her face became extremely ugly. Just as she was about to say something, Zhongli Ximo arrived.
"Shi Chu! Are you okay?" He rushed to Zuo Shi Chu, grabbed her arm and looked her up and down.
"It's okay, she just came to threaten me and hasn't had the chance to do anything yet." Zuo Shichu shook off his hand and said lightly.
Zhongli Ximo had obviously come in a hurry and was still breathing heavily. His tie had been torn off, and his neatly combed hair was now loose. His hair on his forehead was falling down, making him look less majestic and more easy-going, and even more handsome.
"Brother Zhongli!" Zhen Meizhu was very unhappy when she saw that he only cared about Zuo Shichu as soon as he arrived, but ignored her. She shouted quickly to interrupt their conversation.
"Why are you here?" Zhongli Ximo asked unhappily with a frown when he saw her.
Zhen Meizhu was choked by his question and avoided the question in a panic, saying, "Brother Zhongli, I, I just missed you a little, and my aunt was worried that you would not be used to it here, so she asked me to come and see you."
She was very smart and knew to bring up Zhongli Ximo's mother.
Unfortunately, Zhongli Ximo was not someone who would be easily distracted by her. He asked again: "I ask you, why are you here? And why did you find Shichu?"
Zhen Meizhu couldn't pretend she didn't hear it this time. She felt extremely embarrassed. Didn't Brother Zhongli know how she felt about him? Of course she was here for him!
So she said very aggrievedly: "I, I am afraid that you will be cheated. Nowadays, those women at the bottom of society are very scheming and have many ways to seduce men. I, no, it is because my aunt is afraid that you will suffer a loss, so I asked me to come and take a look..."
Zuo Shichu saw that she had changed into a different person in front of Zhongli Ximo, and couldn't help but sneer. He just said to Zhongli Ximo: "This is the trouble you caused. Please solve it yourself and don't let these troubles involve me, okay?"
As she spoke, her tone became colder and she was obviously very angry that Zhongli Ximo had caused her trouble.
When Zhongli Ximo saw her like this, he felt that something bad had happened. Since Zhen Meizhu had come to her, his true identity must be revealed. Wouldn't Zuo Shichu be even more dissatisfied with him now?
But he had to deal with the trouble with Zhen Meizhu first, and then he could explain it to Zuo Shichu properly, so he said to Zuo Shichu with an apologetic look: "Sorry, it's my fault. I'll explain it to her first and then explain it to you when I come back, okay?"
Zuo Shichu smiled at him coldly, then slammed the door of his house mercilessly.
"Look, this woman has such low manners that she actually dares to treat you like this! Brother Zhongli, she is too arrogant and doesn't take you seriously at all." Zhen Meizhu seized the opportunity to slander Zuo Shichu.
Zhongli Ximo yelled at her impatiently, "Shut up!" If she hadn't come to him rashly, would Zuo Shichu be so angry? He was still worrying about how to coax her, and he didn't have the patience to listen to Zhen Meizhu's clumsy provocation.
"Come down with me, I want to explain it to you clearly!" Zhongli Ximo's face was extremely ugly, and he said to her coldly.
Zhen Meizhu was so frightened by his scary expression that she dared not say anything and followed him downstairs obediently.
Zhongli Ximo didn't even want to spend a little more time with her. After going downstairs, he frowned and said, "I remember that you and I have no other relationship except knowing each other since childhood. Why did you lie to Shi Chu and say that we would definitely get engaged in the future?!"
Zhen Meizhu felt embarrassed and ashamed when being questioned by the man she loved. She was totally embarrassed. Unfortunately, Zhongli Ximo did not give her a chance to escape. He stared at her closely, as if he would not give up until she gave an answer.
"But, but we are the most suitable match. No matter in family background or appearance, we are the most well-matched. Moreover, my aunt likes me very much. She said that I am her favorite candidate for daughter-in-law..." Zhen Meizhu was determined to make up her mind. At this point, it was useless for her to quibble. She could only speak out her true thoughts.
"There is absolutely no way I can be with you! I don't care about whether we are a good match. My mother likes you, but I don't like you. What she thinks has nothing to do with me. If you develop other thoughts because of this and involve the people around me, I can't tolerate it." Zhongli Ximo said coldly, and the meaning of his words was very clear.
