Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Do You Like Peaches? (Fourth Update)_1

Now she understood. Nan Feng was a tit-for-tat kind of girl. Whatever one did to her, she’d pay back in full.

Nan Feng took out a short knife to peel some fruit, speaking as she peeled, "Actually, I really like peaches. The peaches of this season are big and round, sweet from the mouth to the heart. So, do you like peaches?"

Watching the gleaming knife, Xin Meng could only nod.

Nan Feng had already peeled the peach. She sliced it into pieces, removed the rag in Xin Meng’s mouth, and fed her a piece of peach. "Since it’s tasty, let’s eat together. We can eat and chat. But don’t scream, okay? The knife I’m holding is very sharp. See this wound on my leg? It was caused by this knife."

Nan Feng even lifted her skirt to show her leg wound to Xin Meng.

Xin Meng bit into the peach. Because she was so nervous, she had no idea what the peach tasted like.

Nan Feng insisted on asking, "Is it tasty?" Xin Meng didn’t dare to shake her head and could only keep nodding.

Nan Feng stuffed a piece of peach into her own mouth, saying while eating: "Ah, it’s strange how women can be so hard on other women, isn’t it? We are all women, but why make life difficult for each other? I understand your hardships. You’re a woman who lost her husband in her youth and struggled to make Yanyue Square so successful. I admire you for that. But those things you did behind my back are utterly shameful. Did you achieve all this success through those means?"

Xin Meng immediately shook her head, "No, it wasn’t like that."

She explained in such a hurry that some pieces of peach sprayed out of her mouth and splashed onto Nan Feng’s face. Seeing this, Xin Meng was instantly terrified again, thinking that Nan Feng might slap her for it.

However, Nan Feng didn’t lose her temper. She casually wiped her face and said, "Since it’s not like that, then why did you target me specifically?"

When the expected slap did not happen, Xin Meng breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that perhaps Nan Feng was not as bad-tempered as she seemed and so she explained: "I...I was just worried about your business becoming successful in just two months. I was afraid you might overshadow me. After all, it took me four or five years of hard work to establish myself in Ping County. But you’ve done so well so quickly... I was...jealous of you."

"So you’re saying, you only used these tricks on me, but you never did this to anyone else?"

Xin Meng said, "I swear on my son’s life, I absolutely haven’t!"

Xin Meng only had one precious son. Now that she was swearing on his life, she probably hadn’t lied.

She added: "I also had a selfish motive. I’m a woman who lost her husband, a woman with a son. Either I could marry a man beneath me or live off my past wealth until I have nothing left. But the silver left by my deceased husband was less than ten taels, and I didn’t want to remarry. I didn’t want to live in poverty, so I opened a cosmetics shop. The first two years, not only did I not make any profit, I was also harassed and had to pay protection money to thugs. My uncle’s family constantly bullied us. We made it through everything. You have no idea how much hardship I’ve been through. But you, you’re so young and yet you’ve become so successful so quickly. How could I not be jealous?"

But Nan Feng continued in a tone of disdain: "Why do you insist on comparing yourself to me, you’re just asking to be upset, aren’t you?"

"..." Xin Meng thought this girl was pretty arrogant.
