Chapter 327 - Mockery
"Now, let's start!" Jiang Yue said before lifting the bow. Fu Jin then nooked the arrow and held it for Jiang Yue.
The couple was in a very loving position. Jiang Yue was inside Fu Jin's arms holding the bow as Fu Jin wrapped his hands around her, holding the string for her.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded.
Just what was this situation?
Why did it look like this was some romance movie where the leads are flirting with each other? .
"Ehem... Ehem," Wang Minghua broke the silence. "Go, Little Yue! You can do this," he said when he noticed that everyone was staring at him. Wang Minghua was just trying to stop himself from laughing. He did not mean to disturb everyone ah.
Jiang Yue smirked at her cousin. "Alright! I am ready now! Miss Zhang, let me first apologize as I might hit you later asy sight is not the best." she smiled and appeared sincere. "Alright! I hope you will honor the contract! Here we go!"
Zhang Biqi's face paled when she heard Jiang Yue's words. Her heart started to sink as she watched Fu Jin who was standing so close to Jiang Yue that from afar, it looked like he was hugging her. Meanwhile, Fu Jin was smirking at Zhang Biqi and his face was full of mockery.
Now, Zhang Biqi understood that the smile that Fu Jin gave earlier was never for her. In fact, it was for all the things that Jiang Yue had done.
This was the reason why he did not stop this challenge earlier. He and Jiang Yue must have known in advance that she just wanted to scare and embarrass Jiang Yue. They must have known! That was why they were so confident.
This couple seemed to understand each other so much to the point of knowing each other's thoughts without even talking. Just what type of relationship did Jiang Yue and Fu Jin have that they would silently agree with each other's actions?
She closed her eyes as a single tear fall to her cheeks ollowed by another. She was crying.
"WAIT!" she yelled. "I give up! You win! I will pay... I.. Don't shoot!"
"What? Biqi? What are you talking about? Are you backing down? Are you going to pay the penalty?" Chen Shi was the first to react. After all, she was her mother. She ran towards Zhang Biqi and immediately hugged her when she noticed that she was crying.
"Biqi, what happened? You can't quit. Fifty million is too much for us. You know that we cannot afford to pay out that much money!" she said in a low voice while patting her daughter's back. "Go on, just let her shoot. I'm sure she will take responsibility if she injure you."
"Mother... she does not even know how to hold a bow properly. Are you trying to get me killed? If she misses, she will hit my head. I will not only get injured but there is a big possibility that I might die!" she said. "That woman is crazy... Plain crazy... Let's just go back, we can't trick her."
"Biqi.. hey... look at me. You can't do this... you…"
"Why can't I? I am the one who signed that damn contract!" she hissed.
"How will you pay her?"
"I'll find a way!"
Seeing her daughter's persistence, Chen Shi felt helpless and shook her head. "Alright... we give up. We will just pay the fine," she said. This was just their first encounter and yet, Jiang Yue had already milked some money out of them.
Because of this, Chen Shi instantly regretted agreeing to the Queen's request. They were supposed to be here to check if Jiang Yue was as outstanding as the rumors had said. At first, they thought that she was not really that smart. She even planned on telling the Queen that the media was just exaggerating, that Jiang Yue was actually stupid, naive and impulsive.
Who would have thought that she wouldcost them almost all of their assets in less than twenty-four hours since meeting her?
"Aiya... this is sad." Jiang Yue immediately gave Fu Jin the bow and look at the crying Zhang Biqi. "Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
Seeing that she would not get a response from Zhang Biqi, Jiang Yue calmly walked towards her uncle and Wang Minghua. "Uncle, all the fun has made me hungry. Why don't we have lunch with everyone?" she glanced at the Zhangs and the Tangs before her gaze caught the eyes of Tang Jiali who was staring at her, without minding the fact that Jiang Yue was also staring at him.
Jiang Yue only raised an eyebrow at him before turning away. Her mind was alert and in chaos. She had a bad feeling about this man the moment she first saw him. She needed to know who he is.
