Chapter 150 – Childhood Sweethearts (????)
Unfortunately, He Jiasi’s parents had high hopes for her. Ever since the first time they entered the Tang Family’s gates, she already knew what she had to do. The thing she aimed for ever since the beginning was the position of Tang Zihua’s future wife.
The old grandpa also liked her anyway. She believed that if it weren’t for her young age, maybe he would have long reserved her for themselves.
Besides, she really did admire Tang Zihua. He was both handsome and had a gentle character. Back when they were still in Ning City’s school, many students were all envious that she had such an outstanding childhood sweetheart. Even though she knew deep down that Tang Zihua was only treating her politely without intimacy, she still couldn’t restrain the pride within her bones. Every day, she would think about being able to be justified when standing beside him.
That was also why she could throw everything behind and come to Hua Ning County. But she had never thought that Tang Zihua would berate her for Jing Yunzhao’s sake.
Wasn’t she just a wild lass from the countryside? Plus she was only a girl they’d known for a few days, was it comparable to their more than 10 years of feelings?
He Jiasi was feeling extremely unsatisfied and angry, but she also knew the meaning hidden within Tang Zihua’s words. She would never dare joke about the He Family. The rigid expression on her face froze before she managed to restrain her anger within the next second and started acting coquettishly, “Zihua-ge, don’t be angry. I said something wrong for a moment. I- I’m not your girlfriend…”
Her words made it sound like Jing Yunzhao was a mistress who had intimidated her.
Qiao Hongye had never thought that He Jiasi wouldn’t even have a single hint of resistance before she folded so quickly. For a moment, it felt like a mosquito had blocked her mouth. She felt extremely frustrated in her heart.
However, Qiao Hongye’s reaction was also speedy. She could tell that He Jiasi’s attitude towards Tang Zihua was no longer admiration, but restrained fear.
She had originally thought that He Jiasi was actually a rich and privileged young miss; Someone who people should not provoke, should not offend. Looking at things as they were now, however, compared to Tang Zihua, the difference was like the Sun and the Moon.
Her heartbeat suddenly sped up by a few paces.
Qiao Hongye carefully stole a glance of Tang Zihua, before biting her lips and lowering her head to restrain the joy and excitement in her eyes.
She hated the way she was currently living her life to the core.
The Tang Family. If she could attract Tang Zihua into liking her, in a few years time, she could very likely change her life. Moreover, they were still young. The feelings during our youth were the most simple and pure. She believed in her abilities. As long as Tang Zihua looked at her, she could guarantee that he would be captivated by her at that moment!
How wonderful was this chance bestowed onto her by the heavens? Who said that you could only be childhood sweethearts if you grew up together? If they started developing their feelings from now, there would definitely be no one who could compare in the future.
As for He Jiasi…
She was indeed outstanding, but it came from her identity and background, while Tang Zihua wasn’t lacking in that area by one bit.
“Jiasi, back then, Grandpa He was on his deathbed and begged my grandpa to take care of the He Family, and my grandpa has also helped your family settle a bunch of troubles for old time’s sake. This, however, doesn’t mean that my Tang Family has more money than sense. The reason why you followed me all the way here to Hua Ning County, I am aware of it, but I have also told you a long time ago. While I’m willing to take care of you, I draw the line at being your brother. If you want something else, then sorry, I can’t do it,” Tang Zihua’s voice was strict as he spoke.
When he was done, he glanced at Jing Yunzhao, before he started to speak again, “Jing Yunzhao’s and my relationship isn’t like what you think. Don’t go giving her any more trouble. Otherwise, even if you’re unwilling, it’s back to Ning City you go!”
He Jiasi’s body trembled. Her fluttering eyelashes were stained with drops of tiny crystals, her face expressing how wronged she felt.
“I understand… Zihua-ge, don’t be angry at me anymore. I won’t behave like this next time…” He Jiasi’s soft voice could only try to get on his better side
