Chapter 984: I Hope You Won’t Beg Me in Tears
Just as she took a step, Dan Lingling approached her and said, "Fourth Miss, do you not realize how your shamelessness could harm your senior brother? Have you ever considered whether he truly has genuine feelings for you?"
Di Xiaxia turned her head toward Dan Lingling and couldn’t help but find it amusing, "What does my relationship with him have to do with you?"
Dan Lingling was so furious that she couldn’t hold back her words, tinged with venom, "Don’t be so smug. Senior brother is just playing with you. You lure him in with those shameless clothes, and he takes responsibility for you only out of obligation. Do you really think he will grow old with you? I advise you not to be so naive to fantasize about this in broad daylight!"
Seeing Dan Lingling’s jealousy, Di Xiaxia was really at a loss for words.
Before she could retort, she heard Dan Lingling speak in a light tone, "Oh right, senior brother has a piece of clothing left at my place. Can you ask him when he has the time to retrieve it?"
As she said this, she looked at Di Xiaxia with a face full of schadenfreude and provocation. Her expression seemed to scream that her relationship with Di Mingzhe was also out of the ordinary, not simple at all.
Di Xiaxia really didn’t know where she got such confidence from.
Eventually, Di Xiaxia couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
A hint of embarrassment and anger appeared on Dan Lingling’s face, "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m laughing at your naivete," Di Xiaxia replied, her smile fading away as she spoke bluntly, "I want to inform Miss Dan of a few things. First, my elder brother and I have a marriage certificate; there is no playing around, and no one can treat marriage like a game. Second, I’ve never seduced him. In fact, he has liked me since we were children, for twenty years now. Third, regarding that piece of clothing, I presume Miss Dan pulled it out from some trash heap?
My elder brother has already told me that you confessed your feelings for him and even forcibly hugged him, so all this you’re saying to me now is utterly pointless. Don’t bother trying to sow discord."
Dan Lingling’s face instantly turned pale, and pride hung by a thread.
Di Mingzhe had actually told her the truth.
In an instant, she felt as though she had been slapped hard, the invisible kind.
She suddenly became enraged to the extreme, wishing she could slap the smile right off Di Xiaxia’s face.
Di Xiaxia watched with interest as her countenance turned vivid, raised her charming red lips, and said, "Miss Dan, I advise you to stop engaging in futile actions. Love is about mutual consent; haven’t you heard that fruit forced from the vine is never sweet?
My husband and I wish to have no further arguments with you. If you still cherish some old affection, then you should stop this."
Having said that, Di Xiaxia left, not wanting to waste any more time with Dan Lingling.
Dan Lingling watched Di Xiaxia’s pert departing figure, her face turning even paler.
Husband and wife? How shameless can one get in saying that?
Di Xiaxia, do you think you’re something special?
You’re just the Di Family’s adopted daughter, a lowly thing. What makes you think you can compete with me, what do you have to fight with?
You’re so arrogant now, fine, I want to see just how capable you are.
Do you think being a champion is enough?
You’re truly too naive.
Once you become the champion, the first person my dad will deal with is you.
I only hope you won’t come crying to me for mercy then.
With these thoughts, Dan Lingling turned and left, determined to have someone investigate and find out the whole story about all of this.
The dinner party soon began, and just like Gu Qibao and the others, there wasn’t much interaction. Everyone was polite and friendly during the meal.
