Chapter 297
“There’s no nasty woman here but you, of course you aren’t comparable to Wushuang,” said Jiang Chen.
Murong Yuan was trembling with anger. She gave Du Yue a frigid stare.
“What a smooth talker!” Du Yue clenched his fists and his knuckles cracked.
“I have an idea. This month’s test is coming up soon. Why don’t you have a competition with Wushuang?” said Jiang Chen.
“Oh?”
Murong Yuan was intrigued and asked “How?”
“Elder Du Yue thinks everything is decided by one’s background. We’ll verify his theory with the winner of the competition.
It seemed like he wouldn’t simply let it go. Ying Wushuang said helplessly, “She and I were in the same superfine class in the same grade. We used to be good friends, until we came here.
“Thanks to her fiancée, we joined the Sword Association smoothly, and she introduced him to me.
“Mo Jianfei, the president of the Sword Association. He is…”
Ying Wushuang frowned. She didn’t know how to describe him. Then she gazed at Jiang Chen and said, “As good as you.”
Jiang Chen was surprised. He smiled and said, “Thank you for the compliment.”
“Anyway.”
Ying Wushuang curled her lips and went on. She said, “Mo Jianfei started to contact me privately. I didn’t see it as a big deal at first, but his approaches became more and more frequent. When I realized there was something between us…
“He told me that it was only a political marriage between him and Murong Yuan. They weren’t in love, but he had fallen in love with me at first sight.”
“Yeah?”
Jiang Chen found this interesting. He asked, “What did you say to him?”
From a woman’s standpoint, Mo Jianfei was practically number one on the male version of the Beauty List.
He was interested to know how Ying Wushuang had replied.
“I admit that I had a crush on him and I struggled, but Murong Yuan was a good friend of mine. I couldn’t betray her, so I turned him down.
“I thought if I didn’t tell anyone about it, I could completely forget about it and no one would know.
“But one day, Murong Yuan went into my room with some people. They cut my clothes into pieces with scissors and expelled me from the Sword Association. What happened next, you already know.”
Seeing Ying Wushuang’s expression, Jiang Chen felt cruel for bringing it up.
“Cry it out.”
“I’ve already cried enough.” Ying Wushuang squeezed out a smile, her voice hoarse.
“I guess today you learned who told Murong Yuan about it,” said Jiang Chen.
“Yeah.” Ying Wushuang nodded.
“He was afraid you would tell Murong Yuan what had happened, so he told her you had seduced him. Although they aren’t in love, this marriage is important for him.”
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “Please take the compliment back.”
“Why?”
“It’s not a compliment to compare me to such a liar,” said Jiang Chen.
Ying Wushuang didn’t answer. It was difficult to see through her expression.
“Let’s start.”
Ying Wushuang didn’t want to waste any more time. The day’s events had reignited her confidence.
“By the way, you know what the test requirements are, don’t you?” Something suddenly occurred to her. She stared at Jiang Chen.
Since he had made the bet, he must have known, but normal people were the ones who made sure they knew what they were betting on.
She had a hunch that Jiang Chen wasn’t quite a normal person.
As expected, Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, “Tell me now. I’ll build the same equipment for you.”
Ying Wushuang was speechless.
