Chapter 467: Chapter 0467: Relentless 1_1

Zhao Mingfang moved incredibly quickly, catching everyone off guard.

Moreover, evidently no one expected her to lash out physically.

Her slap landed on Zhang Yi’s face, changing his expression into an extremely unpleasant one. Zhou Yulan suddenly looked pale, her smile vanishing. She looked worriedly at Zhang Yi’s face; the hurt apparent in her eyes. Zhao Mingfang’s blow had been quite heavy. Her clear fingerprints were visible, not to mention, she had long nails that had left three, no—four scratch marks, from which a few threads of blood were lightly appearing.

Angry, Zhao Mingfang tried to slap him again, but Zhang Yi grabbed her arm and forcefully pushed her away. Yet, he naturally stepped in front of Zhou Yulan, "Mingfang, what do you think you’re doing?"

"What am I doing? You’re asking me what I’m doing?" Zhao Mingfang touched her own nose, "Why don’t you ask yourself what you’re doing!"

Zhang Yi firmly responded: "Of course I know exactly what I’m doing. I’m shopping with my girlfriend in front of friends and family. Mingfang, you are not in a position to question me. A month or two ago, although we did meet once under the introduction of the elders, I felt it wasn’t suitable afterwards. My monthly salary is only twenty-seven yuan. I can’t afford to spend a few hundred yuan to buy you a Plum watch. I’ve already expressed my opinion to Secretary Huang who made the match, and he said he’d tell your parents."

The Plum watch is imported from Switzerland and, even though it doesn’t require a ticket, it is extremely expensive. It is second to only Rolex and Omega, and on par with brands like Dita Von Teese and IWC, costing at least two or three hundred yuan.

If it was a local Shanghai watch, or perhaps a Gemstone Flower or Spring Orchid brand, he could grit his teeth, save for a while, tighten his belt, and buy one. Coincidentally, he had one ticket for a watch and one ticket for a sewing machine, which he had acquired with great difficulty for his wedding, only to find out that Zhao Mingfang’s tastes were too extravagant—she wanted the Plum watch!

Initially, in the state-owned restaurant, the two sisters who were dining there hadn’t provoked her at all. Yet, she spat out insults, claiming they came from a pile of shit. Zhang Yi was upset by this, considering both he and his parents worked in the city, but his grandparents and uncles were all farmers.

Going by her insult, would it mean that he too, having spent his childhood with his grandparents, had crawled out of shit?

Taking into consideration the presence of parents from both sides and the matchmaker, Zhang Yi did not plainly state the real reason. He simply said the two of them were unsuitable for each other, having differing views on various aspects. But Zhao Mingfang didn’t agree!

She had taken a liking to Zhang Yi; she felt they were very suitable for each other.

Zhang Yi was Secretary Zhang’s son; she was the daughter of a district political commissioner—an appropriate match in terms of status.

In terms of appearances, Zhang Yi was a handsome man with thick brows and wide eyes, while she was recognized as a beautiful woman among the families of the municipal party committee. And, in her opinion, she was much more attractive than Zhou Yulan. Zhao Mingfang looked disdainfully at Zhou Yulan and blurted out: "Zhou Yulan, you shameless vixen, you know very well that Zhang Yi is my boyfriend. Yet, you meet and go out with him. I will certainly report you for having inappropriate relationships with men!"

Zhou Yulan’s face changed instantly and she said tremblingly: "Zhang Yi..."

To them, their lifestyle and character was of utmost importance. If she was reported for such a reason, she couldn’t bear to live anymore!

Zhang Yi angrily said: "Mingfang, I request you to watch your mouth! I’ll repeat this again, more than a month ago I already expressed my intentions to Secretary Huang, who showed understanding. There is absolutely nothing between you and me, other than the fact we’ve met once. We didn’t find each other suitable which is why there hasn’t been any contact since!"
