Chapter 48: Two Slaps

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Two Slaps

Lu Feng didn’t understand why, the more fierce Tian Xiang was, the more she scolded him, the more she opposed him, the more he liked her.

When he was secretly dating Zeng Qingwen before, it was the same situation. Zeng Qingwen also had a bad temper; when she was happy, she treated him with all her heart, but when she was angry, she would hit him all the same.

Yet he still managed to get Zeng Qingwen, touched her, kissed her, and was just short of getting married.

But Tian Xiang, no matter how he teased her or gave her chances to pursue him, she wouldn’t take them. She even flirted with other men right in front of him.

Lu Feng couldn’t stand such provocation.

Actually, it’s just a woman. If she’s not willing, so be it. There are plenty more ahead.

But Tian Xiang was truly attractive; whether it was her looks or her figure, she was exactly his type. He really liked her.

Tian Xiang: "Why won’t you leave me alone?"

Tian Xiang really wanted to know what was in his head.

She had hit him, scolded him, was he a masochist?

Lu Feng: "I can’t explain it, I just want to."

Tian Xiang sneered, "Just because you want something, you must have it?"

Lu Feng: "Isn’t that the basic pursuit of being human?"

Tian Xiang: "Do you think this is like wanting to eat meat and white noodles? Only thinking about yourself and not considering others?"

Lu Feng: "I only do what I want to do, other people’s thoughts are not my concern."

Haha, what a jerk, selfish to the extreme.

Tian Xiang: "For years, you could have whatever you wanted, life has been too smooth for you, and you’ve been spoiled. But Lu Feng, from the moment you met me, your good days were over. Don’t think no one can deal with you, we’ll see."

Tian Xiang pulled the door and left, didn’t even ask for leave, and rode a bike out of the factory.

Lu Feng stood by the window watching her go, his brow slowly furrowed.

Liao Guobin came in and asked him, "Lu Feng, are you okay?"

Lu Feng shook his head, physically fine but somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Tian Xiang’s words still affected him.

But, what could she do to him?

Even that last incident didn’t bring him down, what else could she have up her sleeve?

...

On the other side, Tian Xiang rode her bike back to Sanli Lane.

She wasn’t going home but went straight to the street health clinic.

Tian Chuying was at the service desk comforting a irate patient’s family member, and was really annoyed, turning her head to see Tian Xiang coming, staring at her sinisterly.

Tian Chuying’s heart skipped a beat.

Being sisters for so many years, even though they had fallen out, she knew Tian Xiang’s character very well.

Making such a face meant someone was in big trouble.

When no one was at the service desk, Tian Xiang crooked her finger, "Get some leave, come out."

Tian Chuying turned her head away and ignored her.

Tian Xiang clicked her tongue, "Want me to drag you out? So many people, it’s not a good look."

Tian Chuying gritted her teeth and went to ask for leave.

The two of them quickly went to a small alley on the side of the health clinic.

Tian Xiang crossed her arms, disdainfully examining Tian Chuying, "Weren’t you a trainee accountant? Why are you at the service desk now?"

Tian Chuying pursed her lips, "None of your business."

Tian Xiang chuckled, "Because of that bridal snatching incident, right? Lost face, someone took the opportunity to give you trouble and pushed you out."

Tian Chuying’s heart tightened, seeing Tian Xiang’s gloating look, she snapped, "So what, I’m fine with it."

Her words barely fell when Tian Xiang’s slap came.

With a crisp "slap," Tian Chuying’s face turned to the side.

"You, how dare you hit me!"

Tian Chuying went crazy and lunged at Tian Xiang to fight back.

Tian Xiang sidestepped, swung her hand for another slap.

Another two slaps, one on each side of the face.

Tian Chuying was dumbfounded by the beating.

"You, what gives you the right!!!"

Tian Chuying charged again, wanting to repay the slaps.

Since childhood, she had never been Tian Xiang’s match, let alone now that Tian Xiang had practiced some moves recently.

In just a few rounds, Tian Xiang pinned her against the wall.

"The first slap for not respecting yourself, treating lousy men as treasures."

"The second slap for disgracing the Old Tian Family, knowing Lu Feng got involved with a widow and shamelessly approaching him, treating your parents’ upbringing like trash."

"Tian Chuying, I’ve wanted to beat you for a long time."

Tian Chuying was so furious her whole face twisted, she opened her mouth to call for help, but Tian Xiang covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Go ahead, scream, let everyone know you’ve lived two lifetimes, reincarnated with memories. Tian Chuying, you have foresight, I’m no different, I can foresee you."

After Tian Xiang finished speaking, Tian Chuying was so frightened her body shook.

"You, how do you know?"

At this moment, she couldn’t even manage a denial.

How could she know this secret, she clearly never told anyone.

Tian Xiang released her and sneered, "Answer my questions, if I’m happy, maybe I’ll tell you."

Tian Chuying panicked, couldn’t even hear what Tian Xiang said, pointed at her in fear, "Are you also someone who came back?"

See, a little scare and she lost it, truly pathetic.

Tian Xiang: "No."

"Then how do you know about me?"

Tian Xiang: "I’m possessed by a celestial spirit, sent here specially to deal with souls like you who disrupt earthly order. Satisfied?"

Tian Xiang just made this up off the cuff.

Who knew Tian Chuying would actually believe it, full of terror, turned and ran outside.

She could travel back from the future, so what’s odd about a celestial spirit coming to take souls, it’s perfectly logical.

Tian Xiang couldn’t let her go, grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back, "Want another beating?"

Tian Chuying only responds to force, Tian Xiang had planned it before coming, mainly with physical suppression, a couple of slaps and she would submit.

However, just as she brought her back, she started crying and got on her knees to Tian Xiang.

"Great, Great Immortal, I... I didn’t come back on purpose, please let me go, don’t kill me..."

Tian Xiang: "???"

Half an hour later, in the health clinic lobby’s resting area, Tian Xiang was sitting on a wooden chair, writing and drawing on a notebook.

Tian Xiang: "So, you came back from four years later, when there were significant changes in society. Next year, the college entrance exams will be opened up, Lu Feng will get into university, go to the Capital, become a nationally renowned young poet, a role model for Red Fifth Street, frequently appearing in the news, full of youth and success."

Tian Chuying nodded, "Great Immortal, Lu Feng is a rare talent, a good person, please don’t harm him."

Tian Xiang sneered, "Alright, enough about him. In the coming years, do you know a person named Meng Cheng’an?"

Meng Cheng’an?

Tian Chuying shook her head, completely unfamiliar.

Tian Xiang: "What about Zeng Qingwen?"

Tian Chuying continued to shake her head.

Tian Xiang glanced at her, "Do you believe I’ll send you straight to the eighteenth level of hell right now?"

Tian Chuying almost knelt again, "Great Immortal, I didn’t lie, I really don’t know!!"

Tian Xiang was silent for a moment, "What about Vice Factory Director Zeng from the Mechanical Factory?"

Mechanical Factory?

Tian Chuying’s eyes lit up, "Yes, it happened this year, during those snowy days, something big happened at the Mechanical Factory, the Vice Factory Director you mentioned was caught by the authorities..."
