Chapter 516 - Falling Short

Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko

Yang Ming smiled contemptuously. It seemed that the meager affection that had just been established for Zhou Jiajia had disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Jiajia saw Yang Ming’s eyes and expression and felt a chill in her heart. Her mouth was twitching slightly… Zhou Jiajia also understood some of the conflicts between Yang Ming and Wang Zhitao. Although it was not in detail, she also knew that Yang Ming didn’t like Wang Zhitao.

Now, what would Yang Ming think when he sees me sitting with Wang Zhitao? In particular, Wang Zhitao is still my own pursuer. Would Yang Ming think that I have already joined the enemy?

“What’s the matter, Jiajia?” Wang Zhitao was delighted. Zhou Jiajia, the pretty face I have always dreamt of, will soon belong to me! How could Wang Zhitao not be happy?

Therefore, Wang Zhitao also paid attention to Zhou Jiajia’s pretty face the whole time while dining. When Wang Zhitao saw Zhou Jiajia’s expression suddenly freeze, he couldn’t help but feel a bit strange.

At this time, Zhou Jiajia didn’t have the heart to deal with Wang Zhitao anymore. She would want to draw a clear boundary with Wang Zhitao immediately. How would she speak to him again?

Seeing that Zhou Jiajia didn’t speak, Wang Zhitao couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He raised his head to look toward Zhou Jiajia’s gaze. At first glance, a wave of inexplicable anger suddenly rose inside him!

Yang Ming! It’s actually Yang Ming! The person whom Zhou Jiajia is looking at is actually Yang Ming! However, both his father and Zhou Jiajia’s mother were present, he couldn’t lose his temper on the spot and had to bear it.

How can I be so unlucky? How can I meet Yang Ming, this bearer of ill luck? It’s really unlucky! However, Wang Zhitao also knew that it was impossible even if he wanted to do something to Yang Ming. His small-scale methods were nothing in Yang Ming’s eyes.

“What happened to you two? What are you both looking at?” Wang Xifan looked up and saw his son and Zhou Jiajia both looking behind him, so he asked curiously.

“Yang Ming… he also came here to eat…” Wang Zhitao said quietly. But anyone could feel his resentment from his tone of voice…

” Oh ?” Wang Xifan said, “Let’s not care about him. We have our meal.”

“How can we not care? Isn’t he also a classmate?” Mother Zhou opened her mouth and said casually, “Zhitao, you take Jiajia to greet your classmate. When both of you are having your wedding celebration, you would have to let your classmates know, right?”

How could Wang Zhitao not understand Mother Zhou’s meaning?! This was obviously giving face to me! I can announce to Yang Ming that Zhou Jiajia belongs to me!

Ha , Wang Zhitao originally still didn’t dare to face Yang Ming upfront. But now, since Zhou Jiajia’s mother had expressed her support for me, what am I afraid of? This is an opportunity to gloat in front of Yang Ming. Why not?

So, he stood up and said to Zhou Jiajia, “Jiajia, let’s go. Let’s say hello to him!”

Zhou Jiajia was still worried about not having the opportunity to explain to Yang Ming. Now that there was such an opportunity, how could she let it go? So, she also stood up and followed Wang Zhitao to Yang Ming’s table.

Wang Zhitao was so proud of this. He felt like he was a man and had finally won his battle with Yang Ming! So, he walked to Yang Ming like a warrior returning from a triumphant victory.

” Ha ! Isn’t this Yang Ming? What a coincidence!” Wang Zhitao said with a smile, but the tone had a trace of him venting out his hatefulness.

Yang Ming didn’t mind him. He looked up at Wang Zhitao and said, “What a coincidence. You came to eat, too?”

“Yeah, I am having dinner with my girlfriend. My dad and my mother-in-law are here, too…” Wang Zhitao said proudly.

Yang Ming was frowning. Since when has Zhou Jiajia become the girlfriend of this kid? Moreover, he even brought the mother-in-law? Yang Ming raised his eyes to look at the other side. Indeed, he saw that the woman on the table was the one who came to see him the other day.

However, Yang Ming was somewhat puzzled. Zhou Jiajia seemed to be against Wang Zhitao earlier. How come they suddenly became a couple? This is weird! Could it be that these two people are conspiring to set me up?

Yang Ming had some doubts.

“Why do you want to tell me these things?” Since Yang Ming couldn’t figure it out, Yang Ming started to feel a little annoyed, too.

” Ha , I am just telling you. You already have Chen Mengyan. Stop having any intention toward Zhou Jiajia. She is now my girlfriend!” Wang Zhitao had already gotten Zhou Jiajia, so there was no need to pretend in front of Yang Ming. Even though he was not a match to Yang Ming, but he wanted to at least annoy Yang Ming.

Therefore, he deliberately said something like “You already have Chen Mengyan, stop having any intention toward Zhou Jiajia” to provoke the relationship between Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming and to create some trouble for Yang Ming.

Sure enough, Chen Mengyan’s face changed after listening to Wang Zhitao’s words. If he said that Yang Ming had an intention on Zhou Jiajia, it could really be possible! Last time, Yang Ming had a wet kiss with Zhou Jiajia! If Yang Ming kissed with feeling, he might really intend to take advantage of Zhou Jiajia…

However, Chen Mengyan immediately dispelled this idea. If it was another person, Chen Mengyan might have believed it. But now the person who said this was Wang Zhitao!

Can she believe Wang Zhitao’s words? If yes, then something is really wrong! Chen Mengyan was no longer going to believe whatever Wang Zhitao said. This guy was full of bullsh*t. He definitely aimed to provoke her relationship with Yang Ming!

Thinking of this, Chen Mengyan was relieved. She watched Wang Zhitao’s play there coldly.

” Oh , sure. Are you done?” said Yang Ming as he saw that Wang Zhitao had become rude to him. He also knew that this guy was ready to tear off the mask!Not surprising too. Wang Zhitao and I maintained a good relationship because of Chen Mengyan last time, and then later, it was because of Zhou Jiajia. Now that Zhou Jiajia had become his girlfriend, he and I won’t have any conflict of interest anymore. So, there is no need to pretend to have a good relationship with me.

As he thought about this, Yang Ming didn’t intend to continue acting with him. He maintained a good relationship with Wang Zhitao because he was afraid that this guy would retaliate again, which would be a disadvantage to him. But now, it was different. Yang Ming was no longer afraid of him. Never mind him. Didn’t Yang Ming even want to threaten his dad?

Therefore, Yang Ming waved his hand impatiently. “If you are done, you can go. I am losing my appetite with your presence.”

“You f*cking…” Wang Zhitao just wanted to open his mouth but he hesitated. If I scold Yang Ming, I won’t get any benefit. Instead, I will leave a bad impression on Zhou Jiajia’s mother. If I try to fight, I won’t be Yang Ming’s opponent. So, Wang Zhitao had to swallow his pride. He turned around and pulled Zhou Jiajia away.

After pulling Zhou Jiajia twice, he realized that Zhou Jiajia stood there stupidly watching Yang Ming. So, he said with an irritated tone, “Jiajia. What are you looking at? Let’s go back.”

” Ah …” Zhou Jiajia was shocked and suddenly regained her conscious. She said to Wang Zhitao, “You go back first. I have something to say to Yang Ming…”

“What do you want to say?” Wang Zhitao listened to Zhou Jiajia’s words and felt that he had lost his face. “What’s there to say between you and Yang Ming? Let’s go back now. Auntie is waiting there…”

“Don’t pull me. There’s no relationship between the two of us…” Zhou Jiajia unpleasantly shrugged off Wang Zhitao’s hand which was pulling her.

Wang Zhitao’s face immediately turned dark. Isn’t this public shaming? As he thought about saying something, he heard Zhou Jiajia say, “Yang Ming, I have nothing to do with him… Really! I don’t like him…”

“Whether you like him or not, what does it have to do with me?” Yang Ming frowned.

“Yang Ming… Don’t misunderstand… It was not my intention that my mother went to find you…” Zhou Jiajia quickly explained, “It was my mother who went to find you by herself. Today, it was also my mother who tricked me to meet up with him…”

“Are you done? You can leave after you’re done.” Yang Ming felt anxious looking at Chen Mengyan whose expression had slightly changed. What’s the problem with this Zhou Jiajia? Isn’t she intentionally harming me?

“Yang Ming… I… can’t you feel my feelings toward you…” When Zhou Jiajia saw Yang Ming treated her coldly, she couldn’t hold back her heartbroken tears. “Yang Ming, I love you! Don’t you understand? You kissed me a few times… I didn’t refuse it… and there was also that night in the hotel…”

Zhou Jiajia was now heartbroken and she felt that her heart had fallen into an icehouse. The relationship with Yang Ming had just been eased, and yet it was destroyed by my mother and Wang Zhitao!

I have been working hard for so long, and I have lost everything in a split moment. Everything has returned to zero and my relationship with Yang Ming has become a stranger again! How could this not make this girl who was infatuated with love sad?
