Chapter 110 - Sensitive Master Nine
Feng Yuan was not someone who spoke so harshly in the past. His upbringing did not allow him to say such unpleasant words to a girl, even if that girl was very annoying.
However, he had an inexplicable urge to cut ties with Xu Xiaoxiao and not let anyone misunderstand.
Feng Yuan himself did not know why he had such an impulse.
Xu Xiaoxiao's expression froze, especially when Feng Yuan said that about her in front of so many people. She was embarrassed and angry as she glared at Huo Siyu. "What are you looking at!"
She couldn't offend Yan Jinyun. Yan Jinyu… She didn't attend the Yan Family's banquet yesterday, but she had heard about the Yan Family's situation from her family. She knew that Yan Jinyu had a backer, but she didn't dare to offend her. However, she was really angry, so she could only vent her anger on the only girl at the scene who she didn't know.
There were only so many people in North City. She knew almost everyone with status and status, but she had never seen this girl in front of her.
In other words, this girl was someone she could provoke in North City.
Seeing her shouting at Huo Siyu, Xu Gui felt his vision go dark.
He knew it would be like this.
He regretted countless times. Why didn't he pull her away just now? What was he waiting for?
To be honest, he was quite unlucky to have such a cousin.
Was there something wrong with her brain?
Yet, she was his cousin. He couldn't just watch and not care about her. Otherwise, if anything happened to her while he was present, he would be reprimanded when he returned home. Just like this time, he was still reprimanded even though she was clearly the one who accidentally fell down the stone stairs and got herself into the hospital.
Even though his words simply went in and out.
He had decided that he had to get into another city for the college entrance examination this year and stay away from Xu Xiaoxiao, that fool!
"Um, Miss Huo, I'm sorry. My cousin's brain was damaged by a fall some time ago. She's always incoherent. You…"
"Xu Gui, who did you say broke her brains?! You're the one who broke your brains. I'm very normal!"
Xu Gui sighed. Forget it. If she wanted to die, let her die.
He walked over. "Yuan, sit in a little. Give me a seat. I'm dizzy." The sofa was very long. It was not cramped for four people to sit on it. Yan Jinyun took the initiative to sit in a little, so Feng Yuan gave Xu Gui a seat.
Huo Siyu held the knife that was used to cut the steak and knocked it on the plate in front of her. She looked up at her with a faint smile. "So, was this normal young lady shouting at me just now?"
Her smile and the way she knocked on the plates with the cutlery frightened Xu Xiaoxiao.
She was so calm. Could it be that this girl was someone she could not provoke?
No, that was impossible!
She had never seen her in North City!
Obviously, Xu Xiaoxiao was a little uncertain. She was just consoling herself.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, especially Feng Yuan and Yan Jinyun, whom she was familiar with, and even looked at her with sympathy, Xu Xiaoxiao only thought that she couldn't lose face. Hence, she plucked up her courage and said, "So… so what!"
Huo Siyu smiled. "Nothing much. I just think that you're quite bold." She had followed Beauty Yu out to exercise today, but Beauty Yu had done it alone just now. She was feeling it was a wasted trip when someone came knocking on her door. It suited her perfectly.
"I'm just sitting here preparing to eat. What did I do to provoke you? Why are you so rude to me? Or do I look weak and easy to bully?"
She had a bun on her head, a white t-shirt, and a short pair. She was dressed like a young girl. She was beautiful, but not aggressive at all. She indeed looked very easy to bully.
Yan Jinyun, who was sitting opposite her, thought.
Of course, that was only what she thought. She did not really think that Huo Siyu was easy to bully.
She understood that one could not judge a book by its cover, but someone with Xu Xiaoxiao's brain might not.
In the past, she knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was extremely stupid. That was why she always said that Feng Yuan had bad taste and chose such a person as his girlfriend.
It was only now that she realized that she had underestimated Xu Xiaoxiao's stupidity in the past.
"I-I didn't do anything to you. I only said one sentence. Do you have to be so calculative?!"
Huo Siyu sneered, "I say, is there something wrong with you? You shouted at me for no reason, and now you're blaming me for being calculative?" She looked at Feng Yuan, "Young Master Feng, is this… your girlfriend? Your taste… is really not flattering."
Feng Yuan's lips twitched. He actually felt that his taste was very questionable too, even though he did not agree to date her because he liked Xu Xiaoxiao. It was Xu Gui, his good friend, who asked him.
"She's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up a long time ago."
"I didn't have good taste in the past, so I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Miss Huo. I'll definitely keep my eyes open in the future and find someone who's outstanding in all aspects." This was equivalent to slapping Xu Xiaoxiao in public.
Xu Xiaoxiao's expression was very ugly.
She was angry at Feng Yuan for insulting her in public and panicked when she heard him call her "Miss Huo".
Miss Huo?
The person who went to the Yan Family's banquet yesterday mentioned that there was also a guest with the surname Huo in the Yan Family. She was the daughter of the Huo Family in South City, Huo Siyu!
Huo Siyu was speaking up for Yan Jinyu in the Yan Family in the name of Master Nine!
Such a person… such a person…
Xu Xiaoxiao almost fainted.
Of course, she did not faint. She was woken up by a slap.
It was Huo Siyu who had stood up and walked towards her. Without a word, she slapped her face forcefully. Xu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned red and swollen.
Huo Siyu slapped Xu Xiaoxiao's hand away. "Tsk, it's been a long time since anyone dared to look for trouble with me. I haven't done anything for so long that my hands are rusty."
Guessing her identity, Xu Xiaoxiao did not even dare to glare back at her after being slapped.
She could only stand there with her face covered, but she had no intention of apologizing.
She lowered her head so that no one could see the anger in her eyes.
"Didn't your parents teach you not to offend anyone when you go out? Where did you get your sense of superiority from? Why are you shouting at someone you don't know? Do you believe that I can make you and your family disappear from North City completely with just one sentence? Little girl, haven't you heard of the saying 'there's always someone better'? You dare to shout at someone you meet for the first time without knowing their background. I'm really curious about how you survived until now."
"Miss Huo, please be magnanimous. Her family isn't as stupid as her. She's courting death. It's enough that Miss Huo is targeting her alone. Don't take her family into consideration. Her family also has a headache over such an idiot." Xu Gui smiled at Huo Siyu. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xu Gui and the person you slapped is my cousin."
Huo Siyu's gaze swept past him, past Feng Yuan, and finally landed on Yan Jinyu.
"Xu Gui is Cousin Feng Yuan's friend."
Huo Siyu understood what Yan Jinyu meant.
Xu Xiaoxiao dared to offend her. Huo Siyu was not a good-tempered person. Moreover, she was about to stretch her body when Xu Xiaoxiao bumped into her. She did not intend to just slap her.
But Beauty Yu spoke.
She could not give Feng Yuan face, but she had to give Beauty Yu face.
"Alright, then I won't pursue this matter further today. It's just that a slap is really difficult to appease my anger." She turned around and raised her other hand to slap Xu Xiaoxiao on the other side of her face. "Now, it's symmetrical."
After they were done, Yan Jinyun said, "She looked for me in school and asked me to work with her to plot against Sister." She said this for Huo Siyu.
After saying that, Yan Jinyun pursed her lips and looked at Yan Jinyu. "I ignored her."
Yan Jinyu smiled, "I know. Don't be nervous. I didn't say anything about you."
Before Yan Jinyun got someone to block her, she didn't even know who Xu Xiaoxiao was. After settling the people Yan Jinyun found, she met Feng Yuan and Xu Xiaoxiao when she went to the cold drink shop with Yan Jinyun.
Since then, Yan Jinyun had never thought of scheming against her again.
Of course, she knew that Xu Xiaoxiao went to find Yan Jinyun after that day. She also knew that Yan Jinyun would ignore her.
"Who are you plotting against?!" Huo Siyu was not the one who asked this. Although her eyes narrowed and she was already very angry, she did not have the time to speak.
Everyone looked over and saw a tall and handsome man with a dark expression walking over.
Who else could it be but Yin Jiujin?
He had obviously heard Yan Jinyun's words just now.
The manager who led the way broke out in cold sweat. He was the closest to Master Nine, and he could sense the deep anger emanating from Master Nine better than anyone else.
Hearing Yan Jinyun's words, Yan Jinyu, who was looking at Xu Xiaoxiao with a faint gaze, heard a familiar voice. The murderous intent in her eyes dissipated, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at the person. "Brother Nine, why are you here?"
After saying that, she stood up from her seat. Huo Siyu wasn't in her seat so she easily left her seat and walked to Yin Jiujin.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped up to kiss his chin. "Didn't I send you a message to return to Mount Jing first? I'll go back later."
Yin Jiujin bent down and held her by the waist with his right hand.
Hearing her words, his eyes flickered slightly. He kissed the corner of her lips and said, "I'm a little busy at the company. I just got off work and thought that you were here, so I came over to pick you up and bring you home."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly. "Why do you smell of blood?"
As he spoke, he leaned in and sniffed at her. Yin Jiujin was completely certain that it was the smell of blood.
"Are you injured?"
Yan Jinyu's hands around his neck stiffened slightly.
As expected of Yin Jiujin. Even his sense of smell was so sharp.
She was clearly very careful when she attacked. She didn't even get a drop of blood on her. How did he smell it?
