Xia Mengxi was surprised to hear Yang Feng's words. She had been used to men, regardless of their status, fawn over her. This was why she was taken aback by Yang Feng's cold temperament.

She knew she was beautiful and had always pretended like she didn't, which enhanced the pure aura that always surrounded her. She had learned early on that this was something she can use.

Even a powerful man like Zheng Tianyi was hooked by her charm, despite the fact that his previous fiancee was someone of outstanding background.

She thought that the incident at the banquet with him insulting her dress was a simple misunderstanding. Now that she saw him again in all of his magnificent glory and blinding charisma that rivaled her Zheng Tianyi, she could safely confirm he truly didn't like her.

A part of her already knew why. He seemed to heavily dote upon Zhao Lifei and that woman probably manipulated him to make her seem like a bad woman. Xia Mengxi nearly scoffed.

Xia Mengxi thought back to how pathetic Zhao Lifei was. When she first realized Zheng Tianyi was showing interest in her, she was surprised that it did not take a lot of effort on her part.

He was engaged to the touted 'Queen of Socialites'. She knew how hard that woman worked for Zheng Corporation and how formidable her background is simply from listening to the other secretaries.

She remembered seeing the fallen Queen beg on her knees in public with tears streaming down her face, hoping that Zheng Tianyi wouldn't leave her. And what did he do? He had grabbed her and left without looking back as Zhao Lifei screamed and cried for him.

The moment Zhao Lifei has found out about Xia Mengxi's liaison with her fiance, she had no qualms threatening her with her past.

It was no surprise that she would now try to coerce Yang Feng onto her side. That was probably the only thing Zhao Lifei knew how to do — cry alligator tears, commit horrendous acts of violence against other women, and then try to make herself look like the victim.

"Yang Feng, what is wrong with you today? I thought we were friends." Zheng Tianyi frowned, his brows coming together to form creases on his forehead. Not only did his friend blatantly ignore his fiancee, but he had also insulted her by calling her a mistress.

"A friend? CEO Zheng, it seemed you have misread our relationship. We are nothing but acquaintances who happened to have collaborated on one project." Yang Feng heartlessly said and emphasized that they only had one project together, knowing that it was his woman who had worked on that proposal. He did not bother to give Zheng Tianyi face about the fact that they had known each other since their college days.

Zheng Tianyi nearly flinched at the harsh slap to his face. Even after Yang Feng clearly drew a line to their relationship, Zheng Tianyi still didn't blame him. Instead, he blamed that damned Zhao Lifei.

'That crazy vixen did it again! Not only is she trying to sabotage my Mengxi, but now she dared to talk smack about me behind my back. She must've told something to Yang Feng and that's why he's refusing to acknowledge our friendship.' Zheng Tianyi grounded his teeth in anger. Once again, she was playing with fire, forgetting the fact that she had been burned many times before. He made a mental note to have a thorough "discussion" with her.

"Yang Feng, my fiancee is not a mistress-"

"Any woman who would act on her feelings for an engaged man is a mistress. And she did just that, did she not?" Yang Feng said with a very indifferent tone. He eyed Xia Mengxi with disgust as if he couldn't believe she was even in the same room as him, breathing the same air.
