Novel Full Chapter 371 - Rebellion
Chapter 371: Rebellion
Was he tired of living? Why did he have to provoke the lion?
Seeing this, Lan Xiao was even more pleased with himself and thought that he had spoken the truth.
Gong Sheng had already covered Lan Xiao’s mouth with his hand yet the guy continued to blabber on excitedly.
“I say, you… are really useless. A man like you is actually afraid of a little girl. Moreover, she’s from Yan City. Our Imperial Capital will definitely crush Yan City. A first-rate school in Yan City is only as good as a third-rate school from Imperial Capital…”
Lan Xiao was not as tall as Gong Sheng, but he was good with words.
He made the few youths on Gong Sheng’s side look at each other. They were also embarrassed after getting stared at by Lan Xiao.
Previously, Gong Sheng had only apologized to Miss Sheng and warned them not to provoke her as well, but they did not know the exact reason.
Could it be that Lan Xiao was right?
After a short while, they made a decision and went to persuade Gong Sheng in low voices.
“Gong Sheng, if you don’t make yourself clear, it’ll be very embarrassing.”
“I’m afraid we won’t be able to lift our heads in front of Lan Xiao in the future.”
“You have to play fair during the competition later.”
Lan Xiao almost choked with laughter. This was the first time he saw Gong Sheng’s own brothers turn against him. Previously whenever the two of them fought, weren’t Gong Sheng’s friends all very protective of him?
Seeing that Lan Xiao was still smiling, Gong Sheng simply let go of his hand. He frowned and looked at Lan Xiao. “You grew up with me, so I’ll give you this final piece of advice for old time’s sake. You can’t afford to offend her. Don’t provoke her.”
When Lan Xiao heard this, his anger rose even higher. He glared, “I’m not a coward like you.”
He patted his chest. “I, Lan Xiao, am indomitable. Since I was young, when have I ever been afraid? I don’t care who she is or who her backing is. Anyway, I’m not afraid of heaven or earth.”
Gong Sheng’s lips curved into a smile.
He had tried to persuade him, and he had fulfilled his duty. It was Lan Xiao who refused to listen.
Gong Sheng’s friends immediately felt that Gong Sheng was extremely cowardly.
This was unlike the guy they knew.
Just then, Sheng Yang and the rest entered.
This was the first time Fang Duo and Ou Ye had entered the finals of the business war. It was also the first time they had come to such a solemn place like Imperial Capital’s synagogue as contestants. Actually, they were a little nervous.
However, what happened last night had made them unable to care about this sense of novelty and excitement.
The more she was afraid of something, the more it would happen. The scene that she witnessed last night could not be wiped away from Fang Duo’s mind. She even had nightmares the whole night last night.
It was the same for Ou Ye. After the incident happened, he didn’t know whether he should cover the upper or lower part of his body. As he was struggling, he suddenly received a slap on his face.
Fine, it did not matter where he covered in the end.
Sheng Yang was very satisfied with the dark circles under their eyes. That was what the internet said. If both of them had dark circles under their eyes, it meant that the strategy was successful.
She was someone who did not care about the process and only cared about the outcome.
Although she did not know what the exact result was, she did not care.
The teams from Yan City and the others were fine. They all treated each other normally.
However, the team from Imperial Capital was different. They viewed the team from Yan City as eternally in second place. Furthermore, because they were far ahead every year, they naturally treated the team from Yan City with sarcasm and smugness.
However, this year, this young lady from the Sheng family had taken the limelight…
Chapter 372: Don’t Pull Him Down
However, this year, this young lady from the Sheng family was in the limelight. Before she even arrived in the capital, all kinds of rumors had already spread. As her ability was really too outstanding, everyone thought highly of her. Furthermore, she even had a shocking identity. She was actually a famous jewelry designer.
All the major media outlets were also predicting that Yan City might make a comeback this time. It was very likely that she would help Yan City’s team suppress Imperial Capital’s team. She would be the first female champion in the business war in the history of Yan City High School.
Therefore, as soon as she entered, many people treated her as a thorn in their flesh.
The moment Lan Xiao saw her, he immediately shot a provocative glance at Gong Sheng before shrugging him off and walking toward Sheng Yang.
Gong Sheng stood still and watched with a smile.
As long as he was not pulled down, it did not matter how Lan Xiao courted death.
His friend at the side said blankly, “Gong Sheng, don’t you like her? Quickly go and greet her. Don’t let Lan Xiao do it first.”
Gong Sheng was so frightened that his palms were sweating. He smacked his friend’s forehead fiercely. “Don’t talk nonsense! If you say such things again, I might turn against you.”
With that, he looked around with lingering fear, afraid that others had overheard the comment just now.
His friend’s head hurt and his heart was in a mess. He could not understand.
Gong Sheng had been in love before, so he shouldn’t be this shy, right?
But then again, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family was really beautiful. Her aura was pure and beautiful. Even from so far away, one could tell that her skin was unbelievably good. It was so fair that it shone.
Lan Xiao was already in front of Sheng Yang. Fang Duo thought that he wanted to say something to Yangyang, so she took the initiative to step aside. Who knew that he would smile evilly and suddenly change direction, walking straight to Wen Zhiya instead. “Miss Wen, long time no see. I still remember the business war last year. You left a deep impression on me. You’re really a heroine.”
Wen Zhiya was confused at first. “Me?”
After receiving Lan Xiao’s affirmative nod, she was surprised, happy, and a little shy. “I didn’t perform very well last year.”
“Oh my God.” Lan Xiao deliberately exaggerated. “You didn’t perform well last year, yet you got such results. I’m looking forward to your performance this year even more. I believe you’ll definitely become the No. 1 of Yan City.”
He was going to such great lengths to praise her. Who wouldn’t like hearing compliments?
Wen Zhiya was about to speak, but Wen Zhiyi beat her to it and looked at Lan Xiao with a warm smile. “Young Master Lan, you’re too kind. My sister still has many shortcomings and needs to learn from everyone.”
It was clear Lan Xiao was treating his sister as cannon fodder. They should not be so foolish to greet him so happily.
Wen Zhiya was a little dissatisfied. Of course, she could see through Lan Xiao’s intentions.
However, her perspective was different from Wen Zhiyi’s.
What was so bad about being cannon fodder? Not only would it anger Sheng Yang but it would also get everyone’s attention. It was killing two birds with one stone.
“Gong Sheng, what are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Gong Sheng smiled. He was filming a video.
Since Lan Xiao liked to dance on the edge of a knife, he would send him off.
After Lan Xiao turned away from Wen Zhiyi and Wen Zhiya, he came to Sheng Yang. After what happened just now, Fang Duo and Ou Ye felt that he was going to cause trouble, so they forgot about their awkward situation. With one on the left and one on the right, they were like the knights beside Sheng Yang.
He had dragged Yangyang down during the business war. At this time, they had to be useful!
Lan Xiao ignored the two of them. They weren’t worthy of him to step on. He looked straight at Sheng Yang. “Oh… you’re the second miss of the Sheng family, right?”
