Chapter 286: Chapter 287: Do You Like Peaches?
(Fourth Update)_1 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 so 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 ng could only nod.
Nan Feng had already peeled the peach.
She sliced it into pieces, removed the rag in Xin ng’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 ng.
Xin ng 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 ng 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 won can be so hard on other won, isn’t it?
We are all won, 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 shaful.
Did you achieve all this success through those ans?”
Xin ng imdiately shook her head, “No, it wasn’t like that.”
She explained in such a hurry that so pieces of peach sprayed out of her mouth and splashed onto Nan Feng’s face.
Seeing this, Xin ng 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 specifically?”
When the expected slap did not happen, Xin ng breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that perhaps Nan Feng was not as bad-tempered as she seed and so she explained: “I…I was just worried about your business becoming successful in just two months.
I was afraid you might overshadow .
After all, it took 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 , but you never did this to anyone else?”
Xin ng said, “I swear on my son’s life, I absolutely haven’t!”
Xin ng 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 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 costics 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 beco 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 , you’re just asking to be upset, aren’t you?”
“…” Xin ng thought this girl was pretty arrogant.
