Chapter 1046: 257: Scumbag Exposes True Colors, Awakening (Sixth Update)

Facts were facts, and Ni Yang did not want to conceal anything.

Du Jiaojiao looked at Ni Yang in surprise, “No wonder! No wonder I always thought you two looked a bit alike!”

Although Wu Yanyun did slightly resemble Ni Yang, her features were not as stunning.

Beauty lies in the skin as well as in the bones.

Compared to Ni Yang, Wu Yanyun lacked a lot of natural charisma.

Wu Yanyun was the gentle lady locked in the boudoir.

While Ni Yang was indeed the world-conquering beauty in brilliant attire.

These two, fundamentally, couldn’t even be compared.

Ni Yang just smiled.

When Du Jiaojiao learned that Ni Yang had saved Old Master Du, she thoroughly investigated Ni Yang’s background.

She knew about Ni Yang’s life experiences.

She also knew Ni Yang had three sisters who were abandoned due to the preference for a male child.

“Does Yanyun know she is your sister?” Du Jiaojiao continued to ask.

Ni Yang nodded, “She knows.”

Du Jiaojiao then said, “Is she blaming your grandmother for abandoning her and that’s why she bears a grudge against you?”

“Maybe,” Ni Yang’s tone was indifferent, “she blames me and my mother for not protecting her.”

Du Jiaojiao frowned slightly, “It’s understandable that she blames your aunt, but if she also resents you, then that’s unreasonable. How old were you at that time? What could you have done?”

Ni Yang was also just a child at that time.

She probably had only just started to walk steadily, how could she have stopped Grandma Mu from throwing away the children?

Ni Yang just smiled silently.

Du Jiaojiao continued, “Have you explained it to her?”

“I have,” Ni Yang shrugged, “but she wouldn’t listen.”

Not only did she not listen, but she also saw Ni Yang as a completely wicked villain.

Fortunately, Ni Yang was rather open-minded and didn’t mind these issues. If it were someone else, Wu Yanyun’s heartless words could probably kill them with frustration.

Du Jiaojiao sighed, “Every family has its own troubles. Alright, let’s not talk too much about this, let’s go over there and take a look.”

Ni Yang nodded, took Shangguan Xi’s hand, and followed Du Jiaojiao’s steps.

After the three of them left, Wu Yanyun emerged from behind the cover.

She had a hunch.

They were just discussing her.

Ni Yang must have spoken ill of her to Du Jiaojiao.

Stirring up trouble, reversing right and wrong.

Perhaps by now, she’s already a villain who cannot discern good from evil in Du Jiaojiao’s eyes.

It was so unbearable!

Why should Ni Yang malign her behind her back!

Wu Yanyun bit her lip hard, her face full of resentment.

Yet now, aside from feeling aggrieved, she had no other option.

Ni Yang was too shrewd, winning hearts effortlessly. Even if she rushed to explain, Du Jiaojiao wouldn’t believe her.

In front of Ni Yang, she had no choice but to accept her fate.

But she didn’t want to.

Ni Yang didn’t have as much drama as Wu Yanyun. During the dress fitting, her pager beeped.

Seeing the message on the pager, Ni Yang’s mouth curved slightly, and she turned her head to call Shangguan Xi, “Sister Xiaoxi!”

Shangguan Xi was busy picking out clothes for Zuo Ling. Hearing Ni Yang calling her, she turned her head towards Ni Yang, “Yangyang, what’s the matter?”

Ni Yang continued, “Sister Xiaoxi, I suddenly feel like drinking Dabai Pear juice. Could you buy me a bottle? I’ve walked too much today, I really can’t walk anymore, and they sell it right over there.”

Shangguan Xi nodded, “Sure, Sister Jiaojiao, would you like one too? I’ll get you one.”

Du Jiaojiao smiled and said, “That would be kind of you, Xiaoxi.”

“You’re welcome.”

With that, Shangguan Xi picking up her bag, walked in that direction.

The moment Shangguan Xi left, Wu Chenjun arrived.

“Yangyang, what did you want to see me for?”

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Let me introduce you to my good friend Du Jiaojiao. Sister Jiaojiao, this is my sister’s admirer, Wu Chenjun.”

On hearing this, Wu Chenjun’s face flashed an awkward expression.

He had never shown any irregular behavior in front of Ni Yang, and he didn’t know how Ni Yang had figured it out!

Truly impressive!

No wonder Shangguan Xi liked her little sister so much.

Ni Yang turned her gaze to Wu Chenjun, “Brother Wu, do you like Sister Xiaoxi?”

“Yes.”

Ni Yang was somewhat impressed by Wu Chenjun’s courage to admit it publicly.

It seemed that the elders in his family had not misjudged him; Wu Chenjun was indeed someone to whom one could entrust their life.

Ni Yang nodded and smiled, “So, would you like an opportunity to make a move now when she’s vulnerable?”

“Ah?” Wu Chenjun was stunned, not immediately grasping Ni Yang’s meaning.

Ni Yang pointed in a direction, “Sister Xiaoxi went over there. You can go find her. Whether you can win Sister Xiaoxi’s heart during this opportunity is up to you!”

Now Wu Chenjun understood!

Ni Yang was trying to matchmake him with Shangguan Xi!

“Thank you!” Wu Chenjun seriously said his thanks and then strode in that direction.

If this worked out, he would definitely thank Ni Yang properly!

Du Jiaojiao came over and nudged Ni Yang’s arm, “Beauty, what kind of potion are you selling in your gourd?”

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Probably matchmaking potion.”

She genuinely hoped that Shangguan Xi would find true happiness that belonged to her this time.

As Shangguan Xi walked along, she suddenly saw a very familiar figure.

That was—

Zuo Ling?

Shangguan Xi was stunned.

Wasn’t Zuo Ling supposed to be busy with something? Why was he here?

And, the woman standing next to Zuo Ling looked somewhat familiar.

Was that Li Tong?

Working in the same department, Shangguan Xi had some impression of Li Tong.

Why was Zuo Ling with Li Tong?

Just as Shangguan Xi was about to approach Zuo Ling, at that moment, Zuo Ling suddenly took Li Tong’s hand.

Yes.

He took Li Tong’s hand.

Shangguan Xi froze, her footsteps halting.

What was happening?

Just then, she heard Zuo Ling continue, “Tongtong, I like you! I’ve liked you for a long time!”

What?

Shangguan Xi’s face turned pale, her blood running cold at that moment.

Was she hallucinating?

Li Tong curved her lips into a smile, her gaze passing Zuo Ling and looking towards Shangguan Xi across from them, “You like me? Isn’t Shangguan Xi your girlfriend? You have a girlfriend, how can you say such things to me? Aren’t you afraid Shangguan Xi will hear and get angry?”

Zuo Ling was stunned!

He hadn’t expected Li Tong to know about his and Shangguan Xi’s relationship.

But Zuo Ling quickly recovered, his expression filled with affection, “Shangguan Xi? What is Shangguan Xi? She doesn’t even compare to your little finger, Tongtong, the person I like is you! I want to be with you! Could you give me a chance?”

Li Tong raised her eyebrows, “You shouldn’t say that, you’ve been with Shangguan Xi for three years. If you don’t like her, how could you endure her for three years?”

“Tongtong, listen to me, I really don’t like Shangguan Xi at all, I don’t feel anything for her. The only reason I’ve endured her for three years is because she kept pestering me relentlessly! I was driven to a corner, that’s why I reluctantly agreed to her! Otherwise, how could a country bumpkin like Shangguan Xi ever match up to me?”

Pestering relentlessly?

So she was just a persistently annoying country bumpkin!

That’s just ludicrous!

Shangguan Xi never imagined that one day, she would hear such disheartening words about herself from Zuo Ling.

Tears blurred Shangguan Xi’s sight unknowingly.

Li Tong continued, “I don’t see Shangguan Xi as that kind of person. How can you prove what you’re saying is true?”

Zuo Ling immediately held up three fingers, “I can swear to the heavens!”

Li Tong laughed, “If swearing were effective, then there wouldn’t be so many heartbreakers in this world! How do I know you’re not lying to me? Besides, I heard you’ve already proposed to Shangguan Xi!”

This Li Tong was indeed the factory director’s niece!

She had quite the intelligence network!

She even knew about that!

At times like this, instead of denying everything, it might be better to just admit it openly; perhaps Li Tong might even admire him more for it.

Zuo Ling said, “Actually, the proposal wasn’t really my intention, I just wanted to placate her, otherwise I wouldn’t have come without even preparing a ring. Tongtong, you know what? I just took a ring made of wild grass! She still agreed! Can you believe it? Shangguan Xi must be a fool! Hahaha!”

Li Tong chuckled, “Then she really is a fool.”

Shangguan Xi treated Zuo Ling like a treasure, but in his eyes, she was even less than grass…

What else is that if not foolishness?

Hearing this, Shangguan Xi could no longer bear it, and turned around and walked away.

She was too heartbroken, not even watching where she was going, and bumped directly into a wall of people, her tears instantly staining the person’s clothes.

“What’s wrong, Shangguan Xiaosi? Who bullied you?”
