Chapter 262: Plotting Against...
Luo Zheng looked at Xi Qianqian’s pretentious smile before glancing at the glass of red wine again.
Sisters?
How ridiculous! If I remember correctly, Xi Qianqian hates me to the core. How could she make peace with me so easily!?!
“Qianqian, you’re always so kindhearted!” Gu Sisi added nicely.
Xi Qianqian answered magnanimously, “Sisi, we’re all in the same circle. Must you make things so unhappy for us all?”
She then continued to glance at Luo Zheng before tipping her glass of red wine forward, almost touching Luo Zheng’s lips. “Zheng, what do you say? Shall we make up on my brother’s account?”
The thought of her brother mentioning not long ago that the female partner he invited was Luo Zheng, made Xi Qianqian so infuriated that her chest hurt.
It was because of Luo Zheng that her legs were destroyed forever. She had to limp around and could no longer dance.
Unexpectedly, the brother who used to love and dote on her greatly in the past, not only did not hate Luo Zheng, he even continued to keep in touch with her!
I really don’t know what Luo Zheng did to win Brother’s heart and make him so muddled up... Tonight, I must take revenge and show Brother how cheap she is!
Luo Zheng glanced at the red wine and smiled before grabbing it from Xi Qianqian.
When the waiter walked past her, she grabbed a stack of napkins from his tray.
“Miss Xi, you’re right! Come, let’s toast... ”
Luo Zheng raised her glass slowly while replying.
Just as Xi Qianqian and Gu Sisi were focusing on Luo Zheng, the latter took a small sip of wine.
She then grinned at them and raised her chin, gesturing for them to take a sip too.
After making sure that Luo Zheng had really finished the wine, a look of excitement formed in their eyes and they drained their glasses of wine in high spirits.
Luo Zheng leaned towards the side and placed the napkin on her mouth, after which she spat the wine out.
She then dumped the napkins aside.
Her movements were fluid, natural and swift, so much that they didn’t notice at all.
She then turned around to look at them.
Xi Qianqian pulled Gu Sisi away joyously, looking forward to watching a good show. “Zheng, we shall go get some rest. Help yourself... ”
“Wait a minute... ” Luo Zheng suddenly called out.
The two of them were confused.
Luo Zheng ignored Xi Qianqian and instead looked at Gu Sisi, “Miss Gu, could you spare me some of your time? I have something important... to discuss with you!”
Seeing Luo Zheng as her rival in love, Gu Sisi was shocked and confused.
Luo Zheng glanced at Xi Qianqian and said calmly, “Miss Xi, you do need to get some rest. After all... there’s something wrong with your leg and you can’t stand for long!”
“Luo Zheng, what did you say!?”! Xi Qianqian’s face grew sullen and her tone became high-pitched.
Luo Zheng smirked and stared at her leg. “I’m just stating facts.”
Xi Qianqian was about to flare up.
During the critical juncture, she was reminded of the wine that she had meticulously prepared for Luo Zheng and hence, dug her fingernails deep into her flesh to get a grip on her emotions.
She then forced a smile and said, “Yeah, Zheng is right. You guys go ahead!” She then turned around and limped away while resentment grew within her.
Luo Zheng, just you wait and see. You’ll be in tears in no time!
As soon as Xi Qianqian departed, Gu Sisi looked at Luo Zheng in bewilderment and was about to question her.
To her surprise, Luo Zheng said, “Miss Gu, would you like to marry... your Senior Mubai?”
She could not help but be shocked as she asked carefully. “What... do you mean?”
Luo Zheng grabbed the bottom of the glass and swirled her wine. “What did you guys spike my drink with?”
Gu Sisi quivered and took a step back in shock. “You... ”
“Did you... put an aphrodisiac or something of sorts?”
Luo Zheng asked indifferently, and then looked at Gu Sisi’s expression again, only to be certain of her guess.
“Hah, so you really added aphrodisiacs. How corny! I’m not trying to criticize you but can’t you add something different? How boring... ”
“Luo Zheng, how did you know?!! No, you knew it all along, so why did you drink it!?!”
Gu Sisi felt incredibly flustered and felt like she could not understand Luo Zheng at all.
“Well, I can’t help it since your acting chops are so terrible! I drank it because... I wanted to play along with you guys, of course!”
