Chapter 515 - Meeting Old Friends IV
She had enough! today is her unlucky day, she accidentally met her love rival then she got scolded by the man she loves at the end she got humiliated by a stranger she never met before, of course, Zhuang Li Yu snapped and her inner thought leaked.
"Li Yu!" Zhuang Bao Jie rebuked, he also feel offended by the strange man's behavior but he had the reputation to keep and he doesn't know whose that woman's identity, but judging her close relationship with Yang Xi Ying and Li Mo Zhen he assumed that woman background is not simple.
Zhuang Li Yu bit her lips, she knew she make mistakes and people laughing at her, Zhuang Li Yu realizes she has to salvage her reputation or her father would punish her for embarrassing her, she looks at her brother with grief "Brother, I know I'm wrong but everyone is deliberately humiliated me, they gang up to bully me…" her eyes swam with tears, she looks frail and pitiful make people feel sorry for her.
Lory rolls her eyes, these noble ladies perhaps skip the manner lesson but they surely did attend the acting lesson, every single of them is a proficient actress. Lory unhurried climb down the stairs while Zhuang Li Yu cries her heart out.
Zhuang Bao Jie has a tacit understanding with his sister, he knew her sister try to gain people sympathy by play to be victims, he praised his sister inwardly and so he follows his sister lead "Master Li, you know my sister has feeling for you, she still young you should not trample her feeling and make her look miserable, is it wrong to love someone earnestly" he patted his sister back all f the sudden he twists the table and make Zhuang Li Yu as the innocent victims.
Li Mo Zhen's expression hardened, he doesn't expect Zhuang Bao Jie dares to pour dirty water on him. Yang Xi Ying's expression also doesn't look better, she had underestimated the ability of the Zhuang family to be shameless, but before Yang Xi Ying said anything Lory cuts in.
"Then your sister should not lie about her non-existent relationship to someone else wife, she even brave enough to accuse my dear Xi Ying as a vixen who snatch her lover, she also dares to ask Xi Ying to leave her the husband" Lory shakes her head then continue "Being young is not wrong, and being in love it's not a fault either but being shameless and stupid…..well young master Zhuang, I don't know how your family taught your sister but in my family that was called 'STUPID'-" Lory raised her brows makes Zhuang Bao Jie unable to refute.
Zhuang Li Yu action is despicable, she lied to the wife to ruin the husband and wife relationship, and she not ashamed for try stealing someone husband, no matter what the third party is deemed to be hated that's why concubines had no position in the family and treated slightly better than a bed warmer. Is it fair for women? of course not but this how society is.
Many women who saw Zhuang Li Yu behavior creased their brows, and scoffed in disdain, no one hated a homewrecker as a woman does.
Zhuang Bao Jie's jaw clenched, if a stare could kill Lory should die a hundred times right now, on the other hand, Lory doesn't feel intimidated. Compare to her Father, Fredhard, Girsha, and Zhao Li Xin this level of intimidation is not enough to make her brows twitch.
"Miss I don't know who are you but you should not interfere with someone else business" he might sound gentle but his words are blatantly threatening her.
Lory walks towards Li Mo Zhen and Yang Xi Ying then she brazenly gives Yang Xi Ying a hug "I'm sorry I can't attend your wedding, this is my fault, can you forgive me" Lory genuinely regretted for missed her girlfriend wedding, unlike in her world there is a fat chance that this the only wedding Yang Xi Ying would hold in her life and she missed it!
Yang Xi Ying feel touched she does feel slightly disappointed because Lory unable came to her wedding but she knew that because Lory at Sacred Mountain Peak place, and she had heard all the news about it since Jiu Yun sect and Hei Shen sect have private communication to changed information to each other so Yang Xi Ying is the first to know about what happened at Hei Shen Sect and she had been worried to death for Lory safety.
"Silly, I don't mind, you already send a lot of gifts to Jiu Yun sect to compensated for your absence, and because of that, the Jiu Yun treasury room door unable to close..." Yang Xi Ying was perplexed because she is not joking, Li Mo Zhen eventually make another treasury room to contain the Hei Shen's gift not to mention another hefty gift that came from Ming Yue Yin then another treasure room is built, make jiu Yun the richest sect in the Liang Zu kingdom.
Lory released her arms from Yang Xi Ying, she knew Zhao Li Xin send wedding gift on her behalf but she doesn't know how many gifts he had sent for Yang Xi Ying, Lory make a casual shrug, it doesn't matter as long her friend like it "Well, as long you and master Li like the gift"
"We love it!" Yang Xi Ying Wrapped her hands on Li Mo Zhen's arms then nod profusely.
"Yes Miss Luo, I feel very grateful, and deeply honor for the Lord's generosity" Li Mo Zhen earnestly said. He feel owed too much to Lory and Zhao Li Xin and feel trouble because he is unable to repay his debt even a little but knows he had the chance to help Zhao Li Xin in his search for a divined sword Crimson Lightning, It was the information from Li Mo Zhen that make Bei Li Yan know about the auction at Gui Hong continent.
Li Mo Zhen was thrilled to help Zhao Li Xin and Lory, and so he came to join the search then Yang Xi Ying knew his plan and insist to come along, Lory is her first genuine friend and also her benefactor she missed Lory and worry about her so how come she stay at home and do nothing.
The three of them had been close after what happened to Li Mo Zhen, they completely forgot about the Zhuang Sibling existence.
Irritation surged inside him, Zhuang Bao Jie grit his teeth then said: "Miss, do you know is rude to ignore someone who talking to you" he quipped.
Lory pretense to be startled as she covers her mouth with her sleeve elegantly "Oh my, I'm sorry, I forgot you were there" she giggles softly, Lory quiet for a second then tilted her head "Sorry, what did you ask?" she looks at Zhuang Bao Jie with innocent eyes.
Li Mo Zhen looks down to hides his smiles, Yang Xi Ying also does the same they did not dare to exchange their gaze because they fear they can't hold their laughter.
Rage nearly consumed him, Zhuang BaioJie take inhaled deeply as he tries to control his anger but his sister didn't have the same perseverance, her temper immediately sparked "You are impudent woman, how dare you disrespect my brother, do you know who we are, you better not provoked someone you shouldn't!"
"Master Li, if I were you I will not let my wife to involved with this rude woman, I'm afraid this kind of woman would only lead your wife astray" Zhuang Bao Jie scoffed at Lory.
Lory doesn't feel offended, she does lead Yang Xi Ying astray, well is not entirely her fault though, is also Ming Yue Ying's fault. On the other hand's Li Mo Zhen expression hardened, Zhuang Bao Ji and Zhuang Li Yu dare to mocked his benefactor, this is outrageous "Master Zhuang, how I handle my wife is not something you need to concern, you better take care your own family, someone needs to be taught not to lied" Li Mo Zhen glowered at the Zhuang Li Yu.
Zhuang Li Yu feel her heartbreak into pieces, Li Mo Zhen that she remembers is a gentle and kindhearted man, even when she make stupid excused to exchanged pleasantries Li Mo Zhen never treats her harshly the worst he did is pretend he will say he has some other business then politely excused himself.
But Li Mo Zhen right now is very cold and fierce, he doesn't leave her any face and hurt her without any regards, this is not the Li Mo Zhen that she knows, she darted her eyes on yang Xi Ying she thought this must be because Yang Xi Ying influence that make Li Mo Zhen changed so much. Not only Zhuang Li Yu but her brother Zhuang Bao Jie also surprised when Li Mo Zhen drastic change.
As a man he had more opportunity to met Li Mo Zhen, Zhuang Bao Jie knew Li Mo Zhen is a mild temper and didn't like created trouble unless necessary, that's why even though he knew Li Mo Zhen had married he never stops his sister to pursue Li Mo Zhen because he thought with Li Mo Zhen gentle character soon or later he would succumb to his sister persuasion.
After all, as a man, it would not be a loss for Li Mo Zhen to marry with Zhuang family but now Zhuang Bao Jie is not so sure anymore. He stares at Yang Xi Ying, he wonders if she the one who changes Li Mo Zhen? if that so, that means this woman is not simple.
What the Zhuang sibling didn't know the change in Li Mo Zhen attitude is not because of Yang Xi Ying but is because of the warning from his ancestors, Li Mo Zhen had seen the tragedy that befalls on his ancestor and realizes he had the same flaw as his ancestor, he is to mild and generous and if he doesn't want the tragedy repeated he has to change if he wants to protect Yang Xi Ying and his Sect he must become strong, decisive and merciless, just like Zhao Li Xin.
"It seems, you change a lot after you married master Li" Zhuang Bao Jie smirked.
"Why you make it sound like is ab bad thing" Li Mo Zen gives cynical smile.
"That because I don't think being rude is a good thing" Zhuan Bao Jie fake his smiles.
"Really, but I like to call it honesty" Li Mo Zhen make smiles that didn't reach his eyes.
While Lory could see the spark clash between them, the atmosphere becomes tense. Everyone could feel this could blow to something big, Zhuang family clan is powerful but so is the Jiu Yun sect, when the two giants collide the one who would suffer is them, they worry their peaceful life would be interrupted if the Zhuang family and Jiu Yun sect start to fight.
