Chapter 1054 — Utterly Depressed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Sun Jingyan, by contrast, ate little — daintily, a few bites and she was full. Wu Chengtian did not touch a single mouthful. He was too depressed to eat; how could food go down? The situation was far from what he had expected.
As for having Feng Xiaoxiao play along and put on airs, Wu Chengtian had given that up for the time being. Sun Jingyan's heart was not on him at all now; no amount of showing off would do any good.
What was he to do? Wu Chengtian's brows knit tight. In the present circumstances, the most important thing was Feng Xiaoxiao's attitude. If Feng Xiaoxiao strongly rejected Sun Jingyan, or urged Wei Zhao to draw a clear line between himself and Sun Jingyan, then he still had room to maneuver. Otherwise, he had no hope at all.
Another tactic was to telephone Sun Jingyan's family and tell the Suns that Sun Jingyan was being another man's mistress. But that method could not be used unless absolutely necessary — for if Sun Jingyan learned the truth, she would loathe him all the more, and tattling behind someone's back was a thing greatly to be avoided.
That meal brought joy to some and gloom to others. Feng Xiaoxiao ate happily; Wu Chengtian was thoroughly depressed; and Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan were there to watch the comedy.
Originally, before coming, Wu Chengtian had prepared several little scenes with which to show off, but he had not used a single one, and now he had no heart for them. Even with Feng Xiaoxiao's cooperation, there would be no point in putting on a show — Sun Jingyan's thoughts were not on him at this moment.
The meal ended in haste. Wu Chengtian gloomily flagged down a taxi and left, while Sun Jingyan drove Feng Xiaoxiao and Wei Zhao back to school.
The moment they got in the car, Sun Jingyan could not help covering her mouth and laughing. She gave Feng Xiaoxiao a thumbs-up: "Xiaoxiao, your talent for fleecing people is really something. In one morning, Wu Chengtian lost ten million!"
"Heh heh heh!" Feng Xiaoxiao laughed, not without pride. In the art of fleecing people she had considerable confidence — though a sucker like Wu Chengtian was rather rare.
"Xiaoxiao, come sit in the front, let's talk?" Sun Jingyan had grown ever more curious about Wei Zhao, but she knew his temperament was somewhat aloof, and that questioning him directly might yield nothing. Feng Xiaoxiao, however, seemed quite talkative, so Sun Jingyan decided to fish for information about Wei Zhao from her.
