Cheng Feifei scanned Cheng Li.
Originally, she thought that coming from humble beginnings, they would at least be able to empathize with each other.
But Cheng Li, as he stood before her, made her completely abandon that idea.
Some people, despite not having much themselves, would still point fingers at the lives of others.
And Cheng Li’s recent words, Cheng Feifei found them utterly laughable.
"Feifei, what… what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Cheng Feifei sneered, "Cheng Li, look at yourself. Have some self-awareness, okay? Yu Xiang is so beautiful, what kind of man can't she find? Even if her current man isn't capable, it’s not your place, Cheng Li, to meddle!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"You can barely manage your own life, and you’re thinking of dragging Yu Xiang down with you?"
"How could you possibly think Yu Xiang would agree to be with you?"
"Go take a piss and look at yourself! I’m embarrassed for you!"
"I’m telling you, if you dare to do anything out of line to Yu Xiang later, I’ll make sure you end up in jail!"
Cheng Feifei said, slamming the table hard.
The impact made her palm sting, but at that moment, she couldn’t care less about the pain.
Her good sister was being belittled like this by a bitch and a scumbag. Although she wasn't a powerful figure, she would never allow them to run amok.
"You..."
Cheng Li had initially thought Cheng Feifei was interested in him, but this sudden reversal stunned him, leaving him speechless and unable to retort.
Shame and anger surged within him.
Seeing the increasingly hostile gazes from those around, Cheng Li didn't know how to respond, but his body reacted.
He had to teach this woman a lesson!
"What? You want to hit me? Not afraid of jail?" Cheng Feifei stood her ground.
"Cheng Feifei, do you think I'm scared of threats? I don't believe this one slap can send me to jail!" Cheng Li was unfazed.
"Cheng Li, give this cheap woman a taste of her own medicine, she's too arrogant!" Cheng Yu, standing beside him, also started to stir trouble.
Cheng Li, already not the sharpest tool in the shed, lost all his reservations after Cheng Yu's instigation.
As the slap was about to fall, people around started to mediate, but Cheng Li was tall and strong, and still furious, no one dared to genuinely step in to stop him.
Some people glanced at Cheng Feifei.
Thinking that Cheng Feifei was still a teacher, they figured she’d have to go to class with a swollen face the next day.
"Cheng Feifei, you dare to mock me, you brought this upon yourself." Cheng Li raised his hand.
Looking at Cheng Li, who loomed over her like a mountain, Cheng Feifei felt a twinge of fear.
Although her spirit remained unbroken, instinct urged her to yield.
At this critical moment, a voice came from the doorway.
"Excuse me, is this the gathering for Yuehai Elementary School?"
Lin Xiao Tian's voice was clear and cheerful, quickly attracting everyone's attention.
"Handsome!" The flashy woman, Cheng Yu, immediately noticed Lin Xiao Tian.
Following her exclamation, everyone else turned towards the entrance.
Lin Xiao Tian, though dressed plainly, couldn't conceal his charisma. In an instant, he became the center of attention.
"Handsome, this is the gathering for Yuehai Village. Are you from Yuehai Village too?" Cheng Yu asked, looking at him in surprise.
In her memory, there shouldn't be such a handsome guy in Yuehai Village.
But Lin Xiao Tian just shook his head and then called towards the entrance.
"That's right! This is the Yuehai Village gathering. Yu Xiang, you can come in!"
Yu Xiang?
Could it be Qin Yu Xiang?
While Cheng Yu was still pondering, a beautiful figure walked in through the doorway.
Qin Yu Xiang, in a cream-colored long dress, appeared before everyone.
"Qin Yu Xiang?"
Cheng Yu recognized her immediately.
Even after so many years, even though she didn't want to see Qin Yu Xiang, she recognized her at a glance.
Cheng Yu's gaze quickly swept over every part of Qin Yu Xiang's attire. The next moment, she was completely disappointed.
She hadn't expected that after all these years, upon meeting again, no matter how well she applied her makeup, she couldn't compare to the other woman in any way.
And Qin Yu Xiang wasn't even wearing makeup today!
"Yu Xiang!" Cheng Feifei cried out in surprise.
"Feifei!" Qin Yu Xiang also recognized her immediately.
Cheng Feifei ran to Qin Yu Xiang's side and took her hand.
"You're finally here."
Upon reaching Qin Yu Xiang's side, naturally, she looked towards Lin Xiao Tian.
"This is… your man, right?"
Hearing Cheng Feifei refer to Lin Xiao Tian like that, Qin Yu Xiang's face instantly flushed red.
But Lin Xiao Tian was mischievous and didn't explain, simply gazing at Qin Yu Xiang as if waiting for her answer.
Qin Yu Xiang was both annoyed and exasperated, but she still nodded.
Looking at Qin Yu Xiang's reaction and then at Lin Xiao Tian, who exuded confidence and radiance, Cheng Feifei's mind quickly reached a conclusion.
She had been swayed by the others' earlier discussions about Lin Xiao Tian and had actually thought he was truly pathetic.
But seeing Lin Xiao Tian now, she immediately dismissed that idea.
A down-and-out person wouldn't possess such confident eyes as Lin Xiao Tian's, and moreover, Lin Xiao Tian consistently gave off a feeling of pleasant warmth.
Even if Lin Xiao Tian wasn't wealthy, their life together with Qin Yu Xiang must surely be happy.
"What's your name?" Cheng Feifei asked Lin Xiao Tian.
"My name is Lin Xiao Tian," Lin Xiao Tian replied politely. "May I ask who you are?"
"Xiao Tian, this is Feifei, my good sister."
"Cheng Feifei, is it? Yu Xiang has mentioned you often. Thank you for taking care of Yu Xiang."
Looking at the polite Lin Xiao Tian, Cheng Feifei's favorable impression of him grew.
As the two were catching up, a discordant voice cut through the air.
"You're Yu Xiang's man, right!" Cheng Li strode over aggressively.
Cheng Feifei's expression froze.
She had been so focused on Qin Yu Xiang that she had completely forgotten about this guy.
Cheng Li had just vowed to teach Qin Yu Xiang's man a lesson and then take Qin Yu Xiang away.
Was he going to do that now?
With Cheng Li's burly physique, Lin Xiao Tian, with his slender build, was clearly no match.
Thinking this, Cheng Feifei quickly stepped forward to intervene.
But she was still a step too late.
Cheng Li, who had been seething with anger, was now looking for an outlet.
With Lin Xiao Tian's arrival, he could no longer restrain himself.
Jail time?
He didn't care about that.
Today, he was going to beat up Lin Xiao Tian.
Today, he was going to show everyone that he was the real man!
As for Lin Xiao Tian, he would obediently serve as his foil.
With this thought, his fist swung out.
Lin Xiao Tian blinked.
Why was this lummox trying to hit him the moment he arrived?
Had he done anything wrong?
Or did they have some prior grievance?
Lin Xiao Tian couldn't understand.
But since the fist was coming, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't just let it hit him.
Lin Xiao Tian lightly raised his left hand and caught Cheng Li's punch directly.
*Crack!*
A collision sound echoed.
Some people even closed their eyes, already picturing the miserable scene of Lin Xiao Tian being beaten to the ground, as Cheng Li's brute strength was evident to all.
But the next moment.
A gasp erupted within the private room.
Everyone looked closely and discovered that Lin Xiao Tian was perfectly fine, while Cheng Li, on the other hand, had a terribly pained expression…
