The Beauty of 1980's

Ch.45 The Wife Protecting-Maniac

The atmosphere suddenly came to a standstill.

　　Liu Ying couldn't take the initiative to admit the "good things" she had done, but she couldn't think of a good way to say it. She just avoided Zheng Qi's gaze and pulled the corners of her lips to pretend that she didn't understand: "What?"

　　Zheng Qi kept her eyes on Liu Ying. As a good friend of many years, it was impossible for her not to see that Liu Ying felt guilty at that moment. She took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, and spoke as calmly as possible.

　　"Yingzi, tell me what you said about me behind my back." Although Zheng Qi was angry at Zheng An's rude words just now, he was still her brother whom she had loved for so many years, so some things could be discussed openly.

　　But it was different for other people. She could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Although Zheng An was a little unreasonable at ordinary times, he seldom lied on matters of principle. Moreover, he was so angry that he showed a bad face to Liu Ying in front of so many people. It was estimated that what Liu Ying said behind his back must be very unpleasant.

　　If it was true, then her friendship with Liu Ying was over. Why would she keep this hypocritical villain around?

　　Liu Ying's eyes showed a trace of panic, but she quickly suppressed it. She frowned and looked at Zheng Qi with confusion, "What did I say? I don't know what happened. Did Zheng An misunderstand me?"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zheng An snort coldly, full of sarcasm, "Do you want me to give you a hint?"

　　"I really don't know anything. How could I say anything bad about Zheng Qi? We are from the same compound and have known each other since childhood. We have never even had any conflicts. Zheng Qi, don't you believe me?" Liu Ying said at the end, her tone even tinged with tears, as if she was disappointed by being suspected by her "good sister".

　　Her expression didn't seem fake, and Zheng Qi's brows were getting deeper and deeper into frown.

　　"Bullshit, what did you brag about to those people in the private room on the second floor of Nanshan Mansion three months ago? Have you really forgotten it all? Haha." Zheng An stood up and slammed the table.

　　Such a big commotion naturally attracted people on the other side of the round table.

　　Yang Yan looked over and saw a familiar group of people. She suddenly felt a headache. Ye Puzhou's side had just calmed down, but Zheng Qi's side had become tense again. Could this welcome party still go on smoothly?

　　"What's wrong?" Yang Yan put down the wine glass in her hand. Before she even had time to sit down, she had to stand up and help smooth things over.

　　After Yang Yan figured out the whole story, his eyes fell on Liu Ying, whose face was pale.

　　But this time her expression was not so good. Compared with Liu Ying, her relationship with Zheng Qi was better and closer. Zheng An must have heard some rumors somewhere to say that, otherwise it would be impossible for him to frame his sister's friend without any evidence.

　　Talking bad about others behind their backs and being a two-faced person is not a good way to go. Everyone present are decent people, so naturally they will not like or tolerate such things.

　　Yang Yan placed one hand on the back of the chair behind Liu Ying, and patted her shoulder with the other hand, and asked in a joking tone: "Yingzi, don't you welcome me back? Are you trying to make trouble for me?"

　　Hearing her say this, Liu Ying's face became even stiffer, and his shoulders shook unconsciously.

　　At a loss of what to do, she subconsciously glanced at Ye Puzhou not far away, and saw that he didn't even look at her, as if he didn't care about her at all. Instead, Meng Xiang beside him looked at her.
