Chapter 501 - Its Like She Was Burning

Chapter 501 - It's Like She Was Burning

Xiao Li clenched her fists tightly when she heard Zhao Ming's straightforward words. Now she doesn't even bother to sugarcoat her words.

"Sister... What do you mean? How can you say something like this?" Xiao Li was baffled hearing Zhao Ming's outrageous words.

" Zhao Ming, what did you say? How can you compare yourself to Xiao Li?" Wen Xu interrupted Xiao Li and started scolding Zhao Ming.

" I didn't make special arrangements for her. It's just, I had the right to do so, so I did. After all..unlike you she deserves better." Wen Xu sneered as she looked at Zhao Ming in mocking.

" And Ji Cheng… How can you allow this woman to call you like this in public? Did you forget your morals?" Wen Xu was infuriated as Ji Cheng didn't say anything to Zhao Ming.

He not only allowed her to have her food first, but he was making many changes and special arrangements for her.

.

Ji Cheng glanced at Wen Xu coldly and said, " Mother, if you don't like anything here, you're free to go. You were not supposed to be here anyway. " he said casually while shifting his attention to Wen Ru.

" Wen Ru didn't you said that there will be only three of us for dinner. Why are they here as well?" He was now fed up from his mother's melodrama.

Wen Ru looked up in hesitance and glanced at Wen Xu and Xiao Li.

" Ermm….I did plan this for three of us. But Aunt Wen Xu and Consort Xiao suddenly came and sat down here, I just couldn't say anything." He forced these words out under Wen Xu's glare from the side.

He met them in front of the dining room and without letting him say anything they invited themselves for dinner.

Before that he never knew that his aunt can be this annoying.

He felt pity for Ji Cheng for having this kind of troublesome mother. He was glad that his mother is not like this.

" Wen Ru, how can you say that? Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to talk to me and have dinner with me? I heard you're going tomorrow so I came to have dinner with you. " Wen Xu turned to Wen Ru and started blaming him.

" But here you're saying that I was the one who forcefully tagged along with you? Hah. It seems like you have been bewitched by someone that you even learned to lie as well." Wen Xu scoffed as she glared at Zhao Ming.

"-_-"

Wen Ru was speechless seeing his aunt putting everything on Zhao Ming in the end.

" Shut up, I said" Ji Cheng was infuriated when he heard Wen Xu's words. In anger, he slammed the table, resulting in some soup to spill on Xiao Li.

" Ah"

The soup was hot but not that much. However, it made Xiao Li's eyes welled up in pain while Wen Xu panicked seeing her like this.

"-_-"

Zhao Ming's lips twitched seeing them acting so annoyingly. It was not that hot, but she is acting like she has been burnt by boiling soup.

" Xiao Li, are you okay? Are you hurt? Should I call a doctor?" Wen Xu was panicked seeing all the soup on Xiao Li.

" Ji Cheng, did you see what you did? How can you become so unreasonable? You're pushing us to the end just for this unimportant bitch?"

" You said that she was innocent and there was nothing between her and that bodyguard. But what about her father?"

" You know that her father tried to kill me, but in the end you only blame me for taking action at that time. You were not here yet someone tried to kill me. Just because he was your wife's father, should I have just let him kill me?" Wen Xu shouted while pointing at Zhao Ming.

" This girl is not suitable to be your wife, the empress of the Ji Dynasty. How can you be bewitched by this bitch? She will kill everyone one day."

Zhao Ming frowned when she heard Wen Xu's words. She has heard about the incident where Zhao Ming's father was accused of poisoning the medicine of Empress Dowager but she doesn't know much about it.

However, seeing Wen Xu's personality and knowing Zhao Ming, she was sure that Zhao Ming's father must be innocent.

When she first came into this world, she didn't want to get involved with Zhao Ming's problems. However, she feels extreme sadness whenever she hears something bad about the original owner of this body.

It feels like they are talking about her and blaming her. She knows that she is just in her body for a while, but why does she get affected by others' words?

For some strange reason, she can't help but get involved in her problems.

' Things would be much better if I had her memories.' she pursed her lips and sighed heavily.

Without Zhao Ming's memories, she feels like a lost puppy in this big world.

Ji Cheng pursed his lips seeing his mother bringing up the past incident. Even though it's in the past, it's very painful to Zhao Ming.

After all, her father suffered a painful death and she didn't even get to mourn over her father's death.

That time was so hard on her. It was because of this incident, that she lost the last thread of hope in her life.

When he glanced at her, he saw her in deep thought. Her lips were pursed and she was not cheerful like before.

His fist tightened and he glared at Wen Xu threateningly, " I said get out. Get out. Mother if you don't shut up now, I will extend your budget cut to five-month rather than three months."

Xiao Li's eyes widened in shock hearing his words. Wen Xu was about to say something but she tugged on her sleeves to shut up.

Wen Xu gritted her teeth and glared at Zhao Ming who seemed to be in a daze.

" Hmph." She huffed in anger and stayed seated in her place.

Wen Ru:"-_-"

Wen Ru was surprised seeing how stubborn Wen Xu could be. Ji Cheng has already asked her to get out but she stayed seated in her place.

Ji Cheng took a deep breath and turned to Zhao Ming, " Zhao Ming, you don't need to think much about anything else. Just eat. Don't bother with them." He urged her to eat.

But surprisingly, she didn't budge.

Unlike before, she didn't smile or respond to his words. She stared in a daze at her hand as if she was thinking hard about something.

" Zhao Ming"

She didn't reply to him and kept staring at her hand for no particular reason.

' What's happening to me? What is this strange feeling?' Zhao Ming pursed her lips as she started feeling extremely hot.

It's like she was burning.
