Chapter 2191: Chapter 2191: Word Spirit Truth (12)

As Chuzheng walked out, she bumped into Liu Jinli, who, pointing at her in surprise and then back at the door behind her, couldn’t manage to utter a word for quite some time.

What was going on!

Liu Jinli swallowed her saliva: "What were you doing with my cousin?"

How did her new gossip buddy suddenly get involved with Chu Zhaoying, that jerk?

"Cousin?" Who’s your cousin?

-

Chu Zhaoying and Liu Jinli were cousins, and the two had a pretty good relationship; Chu Zhaoying liked hanging out with Liu Jinli.

I have to say, when they stood together, they looked like brothers.

Liu Jinli was shocked at why Chuzheng would be with her cousin, the jerk.

Chuzheng casually came up with an excuse to muddle through.

She didn’t mind if people found out she had done the unspeakable to the head of the Fei family, but that little thing wouldn’t be too happy about it...

So she’d keep quiet for now.

Avoiding more drama with her.

All stressed about the Good Person Card.

Chuzheng and Liu Jinli returned to the banquet. Liu Jinli, carefree, had already shifted her focus elsewhere.

Chuzheng quickly found the person Chu Zhaoying mentioned.

Following him when he went to the bathroom, Chuzheng tagged along...

Liu Jinli, curious about what Chuzheng was up to, followed as well.

Chuzheng didn’t really want to bring her, but she couldn’t shake her off.

Outside the bathroom, Chuzheng instructed Liu Jinli: "Watch out for me, don’t let anyone in."

"..."

Liu Jinli wanted to ask what Chuzheng planned to do, but Chuzheng didn’t give her the chance as she slipped into the bathroom.

A few minutes later.

Chuzheng exited the bathroom, flicking water off her hands, calmly walking to Liu Jinli’s side.

If Liu Jinli hadn’t seen with her own eyes that Chuzheng had entered the men’s restroom, she wouldn’t suspect anything, thinking Chuzheng had just gone to the bathroom.

"What did you do in there?"

Chuzheng’s face was serious: "Asked around."

"Hmm?" Asked who? Why go to the men’s restroom to ask?

Chuzheng swiftly changed the topic: "Where’s Fei Jinxue?"

"She was still upstairs when I checked..." Liu Jinli searched around the place: "Strange, where did she go?"

"Could she have left?"

Chuzheng spotted Fei Youping and Mo Xiangqiu; neither had left, so Fei Jinxue couldn’t have gone.

Chuzheng mused for a moment, thinking that her superpower shouldn’t be limited to face-to-face encounters.

Hence...

Fei Youping messed with her, so she thought she’d return the favor to her daughter.

-

As the banquet neared its end, some attendees began to leave.

Chuzheng stood in the corner, her mood not particularly great; her superpower’s effectiveness being questioned?

Was it toying with her?

Just as Chuzheng was losing faith, suddenly there was a commotion.

Fei Jinxue appeared from nowhere, not bothering to look around, and bumped into a waiter.

The items in the waiter’s hands splashed all over Fei Jinxue.

Fei Jinxue, startled, lost her balance and fell to the ground on the spot.

Her beautiful and exquisite dress got stained, making Fei Jinxue look rather pathetic.

The commotion was significant, drawing curious gazes all around.

"What happened?"

"That scared me."

"Hey, her dress..."

Fei Jinxue’s dress was thin, looking fine when it was clean.

But now, soaked, the fabric clung to her body and appeared somewhat transparent.

Fei Jinxue’s face turned ugly as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, shielding herself from prying eyes.

Yet someone had already taken a photo on their phone.

Fei Jinxue evidently had more than just Liu Jinli among her foes, as there were sarcastic voices emerging from the crowd.

"How could Miss Fei be so careless, getting her dress all wet."

"It’s the end of the event, and yet Miss Fei managed to put on a show for everyone, very brave indeed."

Fei Jinxue angrily glared in the direction of the voices, wanting to retort, but with so many people watching, she felt embarrassed, her cheeks burning hot.

"Jinxue!"

Fei Youping squeezed into the crowd, draping a shawl over Fei Jinxue.

With Fei Youping’s arrival, the sarcastic voices vanished.

Chuzheng gazed at the chaos on the other side, pondering while stroking her chin.

Perhaps her power was too weak right now; maybe this was the best she could do.

But how could it be upgraded?

I want to have words that can move mountains and seas!

Oh, just imagine!

[Hey girl, dreaming is faster.] King’s Account shattered Chuzheng’s fantasy.

Words that move mountains... Just what do you think your superpower is?

Chuzheng replied solemnly: Dreams are necessary.

[Every power has its limits. The more power you use, the more price you’ll pay. Girl, no reckless spending for us though.]

Chuzheng stared coldly: Who knows what you’re plotting.

[...]

Ignoring King’s Account, Chuzheng pondered how to level up.

Even if I can’t move mountains, I need something awesome, right?

What good is this, anyway?

Might as well rely on myself.

[...]

Chuzheng glanced over, finding no amusement in it.

Turns out causing trouble is more satisfying.

Chuzheng punched her fist lightly in her palm, her chin showcasing a pretty arc, her eyes seemingly glowing.

Find a chance to hold a meeting for them!

-

As Chuzheng left the venue, Liu Jinli got on her family car, and Chuzheng planned to hail a cab outside.

As she stepped outside, a flashy car rolled slowly over and stopped beside her.

The back window rolled down, and Fei Jiang sat inside with crossed legs, slightly raising his chin, "Get in."

Chuzheng didn’t hesitate, gathered her dress, and got in.

The car slowly left the venue, merging into traffic.

Soft music played in the car, the man leaned to one side, fingers tapping leisurely on his knees, occasionally, "Know who’s after you?"

"Yeah."

"Figured out what to do?"

"Kill ’em." Why leave them alive for the bastard to celebrate?!

"..."

Noticing Fei Jiang’s gaze, Chuzheng paused slightly, perhaps scared the Good Person Card?

Internally, Chuzheng slapped herself across the face.

Damn your fast mouth!

Chuzheng turned, delivering Fei Jiang a calm look.

I didn’t say anything, you didn’t hear anything!

"You’ve really made me..." Fei Jiang curled his fingers, brushing Chuzheng’s nose tip, gently rubbing twice, slowly said, "start to like you."

"You chose to be with me not because you like me?"

What the hell?!

You dare repeat that?

Fei Jiang seemed to ignore the menace emanating from Chuzheng, shrugged slightly, "Haven’t I helped you?"

"..."

Oh.

I owe you gratitude.

The little jerk really needs a smack to behave.

Fei Jiang continued provoking: "I fancy you quite a bit. I hope before I grow bored, you obediently stay by my side, Miss Mo could try a bit harder."

Chuzheng cast him a frosty glance.

Eager to kill him?

Chuzheng didn’t respond, simply turned to look out the car window.

[What are you thinking, girl?] King’s Account voiced weakly.

Girl seems so calm... It feels ominous.

Chuzheng contemplated: Considering where to lock him up.

[...] It knew it all along!!

Terrified, King’s Account issued a mission to Chuzheng to help her calm down quickly.
