120: Chapter 118: Slapping the Face Hard 120: Chapter 118: Slapping the Face Hard Lin Feifei clearly didn’t sleep well again that night.
She already went to bed late, and because of Tangyu’s fuss, she still seemed a bit drowsy as she went downstairs the next day.
Guo Momo was looking at magazines, while Zhao Yaya was watching a cartoon.
Seeing Lin Feifei come down, Zhao Yaya immediately greeted her, blinked, and sized her up, revealing a strange smile on her face.
Lin Feifei hadn’t fully woken up yet and still felt a bit of soreness in her eyes.
She slumped onto the sofa and looked at Zhao Yaya limply, “Why are you staring at me like that?
There’s nothing on my face.”
“Hehe, there’s nothing on your face, but who knows what might be growing inside your belly?” Zhao Yaya said with a laugh.
Lin Feifei’s mind was still somewhat unclear and she didn’t pay attention to the deeper meaning in Zhao Yaya’s words.
Guo Momo almost didn’t catch her chin on the table, turning back to glare at Zhao Yaya.
This darn girl really dared to say anything indecent.
“Just watch your TV and don’t bother me.
I was tormented by Tangyu until late last night and didn’t sleep well.
I need to lie down a bit more,” Lin Feifei waved at Zhao Yaya and said.
Zhao Yaya opened her mouth, gave a weird smile and said, “Aiya, Sister Feifei, you’ve really become impure.
No wonder I heard you crying out last night; turns out it was for some impure activities.”
Guo Momo also looked over at Lin Feifei with a hint of uncertain suspicion in her eyes.
She had indeed heard a cry of ‘ah’ last night.
A girl’s first time would be very painful, and even if it wasn’t the first time, a girl would make such noises during those moments.
With such thoughts, Guo Momo began to wonder if Lin Feifei and Tangyu had really done “that.” But then again, considering a young man and woman living together, and at the age of youthful exuberance, it would be really hard for nothing to have happened.
Even if she trusted Lin Feifei, there was still Tangyu to consider.
Walking over to Lin Feifei, Guo Momo asked, “Feifei, did you really do ‘that’ with Tangyu?”
“What’s all this ‘that’ and ‘this’ talk?
Don’t you all know,” Lin Feifei, still groggy, thought Guo Momo was talking about her sleeping with Tangyu.
“Ah, so it’s true.” Zhao Yaya’s eyes widened as she looked at Guo Momo.
Getting Lin Feifei’s own admission, Guo Momo couldn’t help but believe that she and Tangyu had indeed turned their fresh relationship into something cooked.
Shaking her head, Guo Momo said, “This is between you and Tangyu; originally, I wouldn’t have anything to say, as it’s your own choice.
However, Feifei, I do want to remind you to be safe.
After all, you’re still young and in school.”
“Mhm,” Lin Feifei nodded, she had agreed to sleep with Tangyu precisely because she was concerned about her safety.
“Where’s good brother?
Isn’t he up yet?” Zhao Yaya asked.
Lin Feifei shook her head, “How would I know?
He usually gets up very early.
He’s probably out exercising.” With the persistent chattering of the two, Lin Feifei gradually came to her senses and opened her eyes.
Seeing their strange looks, she felt momentarily stunned, quickly recalling their conversation.
Her face immediately flushed red.
“Sister Momo, what did you just say to me?” Lin Feifei asked.
Guo Momo looked at Lin Feifei somewhat puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“Aiya, I wasn’t quite conscious just now and didn’t understand your words.
Tangyu and I really didn’t do anything, it’s not what you think.
We just shared the bed; nothing else happened,” Lin Feifei explained hastily.
Guo Momo was momentarily confused by this change of story—didn’t she just admit it a moment ago?
“Hehe, Sister Feifei, there’s no need to explain anymore.
You admitted it just now.
We won’t laugh at you.
Last night, both Sister Momo and I heard you very clearly,” Zhao Yaya said.
Lin Feifei glared at Zhao Yaya with annoyance, “You’re the impure one.
I told you nothing happened.
Yesterday, that…
anyway, it’s not like what you’re thinking.
I’m not that kind of easy girl who would just give away her most precious thing to anyone.”
“Alright, as long as nothing happened, that’s good.
But Feifei, when it comes to matters between men and women, sometimes the more you try to avoid them, the more easily you can fall into them.
The rest is up to you,” Guo Momo said.
Dry kindling meeting a fierce fire—nothing can stop things like that.
“Mhm, I got it,” Lin Feifei nodded.
Right then, a sound came from outside—the sound of a car parking.
The three turned to look and saw Zhou Tao arriving.
He drove a rather modest Land Rover, dressed quite formally and refined as if he was attending an upscale event.
Seeing Guo Momo and the two girls walk out, she also greeted them with a smile, which seemed somewhat elegant.
If one were to judge by appearances, this Zhou Tao might not seem detestable and could even be considered a decent young man.
However, Guo Momo and her friends knew that this guy was actually extremely sinister, so they naturally disliked him.
“Looks like Tangyu hit the nail on the head,” Guo Momo muttered in her heart with a cold snort.
Zhou Tao, who had come in high spirits, was taken aback to see that the expressions on the faces of Guo Momo and the two girls showed displeasure and did not welcome his arrival at all.
What’s going on?
It shouldn’t be like this.
“Miss Guo, I wonder who has upset you?” Zhou Tao asked as he approached them, holding three exquisite gift boxes.
Zhao Yaya was forthright and pointed at Zhou Tao, “It’s you, the sly and cunning villain who has made us unhappy.
Get lost quickly, we don’t welcome you here.”
Thud——
Zhou Tao’s face suddenly darkened, and he stood there stunned, looking at Zhao Yaya and then at Guo Momo, with thoughts racing through his mind like lightning.
What’s the matter?
Wasn’t yesterday’s plan flawless?
Weren’t they grateful to him yesterday?
How come today they are treating him with such cold indifference and calling him sly and cunning?
Zhou Tao composed himself and said, “Miss Guo, could there be some misunderstanding here?
I really don’t understand what Miss Zhao means.
To my knowledge, I haven’t offended you three ladies in any way.
If I have, please feel free to let me know, and if there’s anything I did wrong, I will surely apologize sincerely.
I truly had no other intention in coming here today, except to deliver an apology gift on behalf of Du Xiaowen.
This was agreed upon yesterday, and these three small gifts are Du Xiaowen’s deep apologies for yesterday’s incident.”
“Stop pretending here, you understand perfectly.
It’s you who have offended us, and we are very angry.
Humph, I don’t even want your stinky gifts, take them back,” said Zhao Yaya.
“Miss Zhao, I really don’t quite understand what you mean.
One should have a reason even to kill, shouldn’t they?
You straightaway say I did this and that, but you ought to give me a reason, right?” Zhou Tao looked at Zhao Xiaoya, feeling very annoyed inside.
The plan had been going so well, and then this girl had to come and mess things up.
Having been silent until then, Guo Momo finally spoke up.
“Zhou Tao, you really are quite the actor.
It’s my bad for misjudging you yesterday.
Are you really not clear about the bad things you did yesterday?
Do you really think we are so easy to fool?
There were many people around yesterday, and I gave you face, but don’t think we don’t know that you’re the one who planned everything.
Humph, I used to think you had a bit of decency, but it turns out you’re just another sly person, unprincipled in achieving your goals.
I don’t want to argue with you about this matter.
Just leave, and don’t come to bother me in the future, or else don’t blame me for making you lose face.”
“That’s right, just beat it, or I’ll smack your face really hard,” Zhao Yaya said, flicking her nose disdainfully.
Zhou Tao’s face went completely ashen, turning very ugly.
It seemed there were flaws in yesterday’s incident after all.
What made him exceptionally upset was that everything seemed fine yesterday, so how could they see through it overnight?
But of course, he wouldn’t admit it.
“I’m truly wronged, Miss Guo.
If you insist on accusing me, I have nothing to say.
I, Zhou Tao, have always been upright and honest.
I’ve never been spoken of like this before.
If you have any evidence, I would accept it, but if you don’t, please refrain from jumping to conclusions.
You might think it doesn’t matter much, but have you considered my feelings?
If this gets out, how could I, Zhou Tao, carry on in Donglin City?
Please think before you speak,” Zhou Tao said.
“Pfft, you call yourself upright and honest?
Don’t insult the word,” Zhao Yaya said with complete disdain, her words sharp and unrestrained.
Guo Momo said, “Zhou Tao, don’t try to sound so high and mighty.
We wouldn’t accuse you without being certain.
We don’t have concrete evidence, no, but I’ve said all there is to say.
Whether or not you did anything, you know best.
We won’t spread this around, as long as you don’t bother us in the future.
That’s all I have to say, so please take your leave.”
Zhou Tao clenched his teeth secretly and retorted, “Where there’s a will to condemn, there’s a way to do it.
You can dislike me, but you can’t wrong me.
I, Zhou Tao, can’t claim to be pure, but the Zhou family at least has some reputation.
The law is all about evidence.
If you, Miss Guo and the others, are going to convict me on mere suspicion, I truly have no response.
Since you three don’t welcome me, I’ll take my leave.”
Zhou Tao turned to leave with a cold face, but a business car drove up and stopped.
Two figures stepped down from the car, it was Tangyu and Xu Hu.
Seeing Tangyu, a fierce light flashed deep in Zhou Tao’s eyes.
If not for this guy’s interference yesterday, the results would have been excellent.
It was probably his incitement that led to Guo Momo’s overnight change in attitude.
Thus, Zhou Tao naturally directed all his anger toward Tangyu and categorized him as an enemy.
Tangyu glanced at Zhou Tao and knew from his extremely ugly expression that he must have just been well humiliated by Momo and the other girls.
People like him deserved it.
“What, feeling ashamed and want to leave?” Tangyu said as he looked at Zhou Tao.
“Humph, what do you mean by that?” Zhou Tao, already furious, flared up at Tangyu’s provocation, glaring at him.
From Tangyu’s words, he was even more convinced that Guo Momo’s change in attitude was caused by this man.
Tangyu said with a faint smile, “I mean nothing.
It just seems like I missed a good show.
But never mind, I made it back in time for another show, so I’d like to invite you to watch it with me.
Are you interested?”
Zhou Tao’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Tangyu.
He could detect a challenge in Tangyu’s words.
Was this a challenge towards him?
