Chapter 334: Follow authority in emergencies
But he didn't like Cheng Yun'er. Although she was pretty, she was just a shell. If you compared her with Li Xiaoxiao, they were simply worlds apart.
"Really? Then I'll wait for Miss Zhou to come out." In front of so many people, Cheng Yun'er felt a little embarrassed and had to find a way out.
When Li Xiaoxiao and Zhou Lingfei changed their clothes and came out, Si Chengxu, Cheng Yuner and a group of people were already in the hall of the houseboat.
Seeing the two of them coming over, Cheng Yuner stood up gracefully, with a look of concern on her face: "Miss Zhou, are you okay, little girl?"
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Cheng. It's okay." Li Xiaoxiao replied casually with a lukewarm attitude, obviously not wanting to talk to her.
"That's good. Miss Zhou, how come you are in such a good mood to come boating on the lake today?" Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao ignored her, Cheng Yun'er's face became even uglier and she turned to look at Zhou Lingfei.
In contrast, Zhou Lingfei looked a little listless. She had been spoiled since childhood, and after being frozen for a while, she felt a little uncomfortable. She looked up and glanced at her with a depressed expression.
She heard it clearly in the water at that time. If it wasn't for her, it would be Gu Feiyan who jumped into the water to save her. How could he have a good face towards her? Couldn't he see that she was uncomfortable, and still talked to her?
"What's it got to do with you? I can come whenever I want." Zhou Lingfei is in a bad mood right now. She is just looking for trouble, so just grant her wish.
"Ms. Zhou, what you said is not right. Miss Cheng cares about you and even came here to see how you are doing. Why are you turning the tables on her?" Qiao Yueru now has Cheng Yun'er to support her. She feels superior and is rude even to Zhou Lingfei.
Among so many young ladies from official families, Cheng Yun'er only treats her differently. Now that someone is saying something wrong about Miss Cheng, of course she has to stand up and speak for Miss Cheng.
"Yes, Miss Cheng is a beautiful and kind person. She just ordered her servants to go into the water to save you." Wang Xiaoyue also echoed, and her words were all in favor of Cheng Yuner.
"Logically speaking, Miss Zhou should thank Miss Cheng." Zhang Qiaoxin stood beside Cheng Yuner and also stood up for her.
After listening to what the three of them said, Cheng Yun'er felt much more relieved. She just came to see Si Chengxu, but they actually thought he was here to see her. How shameless of them.
"Ling Fei is a woman, but Miss Cheng sent two servants to rescue her. I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Li Xiaoxiao calmly fought back.
"What's wrong with that? We have to take emergency measures. If the little girl can't swim today, are we going to just watch Miss Zhou drown in the water?" Qiao Yueru rolled her eyes at her.
"There will naturally be people on the Zhou mansion's pleasure boat to rescue them. How come they can't be rescued without you guys? Or do you just wish that no one can be rescued?" Li Xiaoxiao looked at Qiao Yueru with a gloomy face.
"What you said, little girl, is really disheartening. Our Miss Cheng came here to save you with good intentions, but now we are wrong." Wang Xiaoyue said with a hint of ridicule.
Cheng Yun'er stood quietly aside, with her head down, listening to their conversation silently, neither stopping them nor saying anything, as if it was none of her business.
"Does Miss Cheng think so too?" Li Xiaoxiao turned the topic to Cheng Yuner.
"Of course that's not the case. I was too anxious at the time and didn't think too much about it. I'm really sorry for bothering you. We'll take our leave now." Cheng Yun'er had a hurt expression and her voice was hoarse.
"Ms. Cheng should ask her to apologize to you. Some people are arrogant and look down on others." Qiao Yueru crossed her arms, looking smug, and snorted coldly at Li Xiaoxiao.
"Yueru, we are all friends, why should we care about so many things?" Cheng Yun'er's voice was gentle and pleasant, but her words were secretly blaming others to show her magnanimity.
"Miss Cheng, what do you mean? This is my houseboat. I don't remember inviting you up to have a chat. How do you want me to thank you? Should I kneel on the ground and kowtow to you?" Zhou Lingfei sneered.
Normally she is in a good mood and doesn't want to argue with her. Today, not only did I ruin her plan and make her freeze for nothing, but I also have to thank her. Look at her character. With the title of the most beautiful woman in Beijing, she wants to show off in front of her? I'm really giving you face.
"I didn't mean that." Cheng Yun'er's face turned slightly red. She tried her best to explain herself and looked at Si Chengxu for help, but he didn't even look at her, even for a moment.
"Okay, I don't care what you mean. Now get out of here. I don't want to see you." Zhou Lingfei said as she sneezed loudly. Because Cheng Yun'er was quite close to Zhou Lingfei, after the sneeze, there were barely noticeable spots of water on Cheng Yun'er's face and body.
Cheng Yun'er was petrified, her face flushed with shame, she let out a long breath and wanted to lose her temper but Si Chengxu was here, so she couldn't. She endured it again and again, and finally could only pretend nothing had happened and turned around and left.
Qiao Yueru wanted to say something else, but Cheng Yuner had already left, and if she stayed here she would only be bringing shame upon herself.
"Li Xiaoxiao, you have offended Miss Cheng today. You will suffer the consequences in the future." Qiao Yueru said harshly and wanted to chase Cheng Yuner and the others.
At this time, they had all walked far away, and Qiao Yueru was walking at the end.
"Qiao Yueru, you are just someone's running dog. Your master has left, but you still dare to bark here. You are really brave. I, Li Xiaoxiao, will eat anything but will not suffer any loss. Since you are here, why don't you stay a little longer?"
Li Xiaoxiao's figure was as fast as lightning. Before she could even see how she moved, she was standing in front of Qiao Yueru, blocking her way.
"What are you going to do? I'm calling for help." Qiao Yueru saw Li Xiaoxiao's look. In addition, Cheng Yun'er and the others had left the room, leaving her alone. She suddenly felt scared. She took two steps back unconsciously and swallowed.
"Don't do anything. Why are you covering your face with a veil? Are you disfigured? Let me see. I'm a doctor." Before Li Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he had already taken action and pulled off Qiao Yueru's veil when she was not prepared.
There were bruises all over his face, and there was a fingernail mark deep into the flesh at the right corner of his mouth. Wang Qiuhe's fighting power was off the charts. It had been so many days, but it was still so obvious. How badly must he have been beaten at that time.
"Ah." The veil was suddenly taken off, and Qiao Yueru screamed in fright, and covered her face with her hands as quickly as possible.
"Li Xiaoxiao, you bitch, you will not die well." Qiao Yueru was furious and cursed loudly.
"Tsk, it's just you. Okay, I'll give you the veil. Now go. I'm in a good mood and will spare you this time." Li Xiaoxiao indifferently reached out and returned the veil to her.
Qiao Yueru took it doubtfully. When did Li Xiaoxiao become so good-tempered? She quickly put the veil back on. At this time, Li Xiaoxiao also moved aside to let her go out.
