Chapter 1209 - 1209: True Colors Revealed

When Xiao Feng was "reminiscing about the past," Wang Tingwei didn't interrupt, just listened silently from the side, occasionally responding with fitting expressions or a few simple words.

After Xiao Feng finished speaking, nine-tenths of her doubts were dispelled.

The remaining one-tenth was simply a feeling that the "Pei Dengke" before her seemed a bit different, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly where.

After racking her brains to no avail, Wang Tingwei used some verbal probing, but still failed to detect any flaws, so she proactively started a topic, moving from the past to current affairs.

Xiao Feng inwardly thought, as expected, this girl staged all this just to get Pei Dengke alone to talk.

If it weren't for my "Ba Ba Replaces Dengke" move, Pei the young master would have been swayed by the Master of Tea Art by now.

"You always mention this Ba Ge, Ba Ge to me, who exactly is he?" Wang Tingwei asked nonchalantly.

"Speaking of Ba Ge, we've got him to thank for where we are now!" Xiao Feng changed to an excited expression and used the pre-prepared lines to respond.

It was essentially how Ba Ge helped with ideas, how loyal he was, and how lucky it was to know him.

Wang Tingwei was somewhat dissatisfied with this answer, but couldn't harp on about Ba Ge, so she switched the topic again, this time to the Tang Family, inquiring about what happened back at the Tang Family's place.

Of course, Xiao Feng told the truth... but lied.

He only repeated Tang Mingbo's initial statement about "already resigning" and then lamented, "Did you know Weiwei, at that moment I felt like the sky was falling.

The thought of never seeing you again made my heart burn with anger. My vision went black, and I couldn't get up from the ground. It was Tang Mingbo who had someone send me to the hospital."

"How come I heard that Qi Guanghe was also sent to the hospital?" Wang Tingwei followed up along the conversation.

Xiao Feng replied absentmindedly, "I think I mentioned to you on WeChat, he collapsed after drinking some concoction, oh right, Rat Tail Juice.

After drinking it, he fell right over, twitching all over, it was terrifying to see!"

"Hmm." Wang Tingwei slowly nodded, "Rat Tail Juice, it was me who gave him the formula."

"You gave it to him?" Xiao Feng showed surprise in his eyes, something he hadn't foreseen.

Moreover, the other's tone at this moment seemed a bit... unfriendly?

As he contemplated, suddenly came a "bang" as the door to the small dark room was pushed open from the outside.

Xiao Feng fully demonstrated the dedication of a qualified actor by immediately shifting his position, shielding Wang Tingwei and sternly questioning, "If you have any issues, come at me, don't harm Weiwei!"

The masked intruder glanced at Wang Tingwei, seeing her nod, then pulled Xiao Feng aside and said, "Sister Wei, we searched the surrounding routes.

No vehicles were found, that guy ran off to who knows where."

Xiao Feng inwardly laughed, caution is never wrong, this saying is truly a profound truth.

If I hadn't hidden the car, Pei the young master might have already been caught.

By then, the play would have to change.

From "Ba Ba Replaces Dengke," to real and fake Monkey King... ahem, "real and fake Pei Dengke."

Thinking it over, Xiao Feng decided to keep playing along, so he looked at Wang Tingwei with a look of disbelief, and said slowly, "Weiwei, you..."

Wang Tingwei exerted a bit of strength, breaking the rope, and smiled, "Yes, I arranged all of this."

"You arranged it?" Xiao Feng was rendered speechless, then suddenly realized, "You're testing me, aren't you? Have I passed the test?"

"Haha, test?" Wang Tingwei sneered, "Do you really think I contacted you because I'm interested in you?

Stop dreaming!

The WeChat messages I sent you before, only the first sentence is true.

You've been dying to like me, haven't you?

Then do you remember what my first sentence was?"

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then replied, "You... tricked me?"

"Yes!" Wang Tingwei nodded in acknowledgement, "I've always been deceiving you, cheating your money, your car, your house.

So, what now?

Do you feel very angry now?"

Xiao Feng felt indescribably complicated inside, he truly didn't know whether to feel fortunate or unfortunate for Pei Dengke.

The reason for being fortunate was that the other party hadn't heard these words with his own ears, nor seen Wang Tingwei's true face, thus avoiding a psychological nuclear meltdown!

As for being unfortunate, it's because for a long time afterward, Pei Dengke was likely still going to be kept in the dark, being played like a monkey.

"Weiwei, you, you must be lying to me, right?" Xiao Feng recited his lines without sincerity, "You must still be testing me, right?"

Wang Tingwei shook her head, her gaze revealed an expression that seemed too weary to bother with the wealthy young master who'd been deeply poisoned by her tea art anymore.

She crossed her arms in front of her and said softly, "Do you know why I gave the Rat Tail Juice formula to Tang Mingbo?"

"I don't know." Xiao Feng replied truthfully.

"That's because he's been poisoned by me, of course, I don't mean I myself, but actual... poison!" Wang Tingwei squinted and smiled:

"After being poisoned, he must drink Rat Tail Juice daily, and the effect of Rat Tail Juice is mainly to refresh and invigorate, so the total time he can sleep in a day, is barely three hours together."

"Hiss..."

Xiao Feng drew in a cold breath in his heart, this girl, truly has a wicked heart!

However, if these words reached Zheng Wei's ears, he'd probably have a mental breakdown on the spot.

He experienced being tortured by an antidote every hour, so who's more vicious in comparison?

"Do you know why I'm punishing him like this?" Wang Tingwei asked again.

"I don't know." Xiao Feng answered truthfully again.

However, in his heart, he guessed that it was likely related to... marriage?

Sure enough, he heard Wang Tingwei say, "That old guy, on the one hand insists on marrying me, on the other hand, unwilling to make our relationship public, like a thief who can't see the light of day.

And me, marrying someone over twenty years older at a young age, is a stain I can hardly erase!

The person who left me with such a stain should naturally be punished!"

Xiao Feng didn't have the heart to continue acting, his fists slowly clenched behind his back preparing to break free from the ropes.

Wang Tingwei chuckled lightly, "What? Are you not at all surprised that I'm already married?"

"I'm more surprised at how Tang Mingbo manages to sleep only three hours a day and yet keep his hair and hairline intact."

"Hmm?" Wang Tingwei's eyebrows furrowed, then relaxed, "It's simple, he's always wearing a wig.

And you... should also start considering booking some wigs."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng instead didn't rush to make a move, couldn't help but ask, "Did I ever offend you?"

"No, you were very good to me, but that's exactly why I hate you more!"

"What kind of logic is that?"

Wang Tingwei snorted coldly, "Because your kindness to me, in my eyes, feels more like charity!"
