Hearing the laughter of Sun Zhengwei and the others, Xiao Fan's expression remained calm. His pair of dark eyes were as deep as the abyss, and no change in emotion could be seen on his face. However, Shangguan Tong immediately stood up. Her beautiful face was filled with anger. She then pointed her white finger at Sun Zhengwei's nose and angrily said, "Sun Zhengwei, are you done yet?"
"What did I do?" Sun Zhengwei shrugged and said innocently.
"Sun Zhengwei, I know what you're thinking about me!" Shangguan Tong was so angry that she spoke without thinking. "But if I wasn't considering the influence of your Sun Family in Red Rock City for my father's sake, do you think I would allow you to get close to me?"
"However, there is a limit to my patience. If you continue to interfere in my affairs, I will ignore you even if I have to ignore my father's affairs!"
After that, Shangguan Tong glared at Sun Zhengwei fiercely. Then, she sat down again and didn't look at Sun Zhengwei again.
Sun Zhengwei's face turned pale and red upon hearing Shangguan Tong's words. He couldn't say anything else.
In fact, Sun Zhengwei knew that Shangguan Tong didn't have any good feelings towards him. The only reason he could get close to Shangguan Tong was because of Shangguan Tong's father. Now that Shangguan Chen, the City Lord of Red Rock City, needed to be on good terms with the Sun family, Shangguan Tong, who understood her father's difficulties, agreed to become friends with him.
Otherwise, with Shangguan Tong's seemingly gentle appearance, but her fiery temper, if he dared to take a step closer to her, he would have been chopped into three pieces by her knife.
But no matter what, he couldn't help but hallucinate after being in close contact with the woman of his dreams for a year. There were countless times when Sun Zhengwei really thought that Shang Guan Tong had accepted him. In the near future, he would really be able to pluck the most beautiful and delicate flower in Red Rock City and become the biggest winner in life that everyone envied!
But at this moment, he finally woke up from his dream!
Although he had been in close contact with Shangguan Tong for a year, Shangguan Tong had always been feigning civility with him. She didn't even put him in her heart. He was just a pitiful loser.
"Shangguan Tong, I swear that I will never be tempted by you again. I will get you. I will do whatever it takes to get you. Then, I will use all kinds of methods to ravage you. Just you wait!" Looking at Shangguan Tong in front of him. A hint of viciousness slowly surfaced in Sun Zhengwei's eyes. Then, he silently said in his heart, one word at a time.
"Come, come, come, Brother Sun. Don't be angry, let's sit at the side! "
The young men beside Sun Zhengwei immediately sensed that something was wrong with Sun Zhengwei, so they spoke one after another and pulled Sun Zhengwei to the side.
Sun Zhengwei didn't resist and let them pull him to a table by the window that was further away from Xiao Fan and Shangguan Tong. He then sat down with an indifferent expression.
Xiao Fan glanced at Sun Zhengwei and frowned. He frowned slightly, but did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head again and looked at Shangguan Tong.
At this moment, Shangguan Tong seemed to be regretting her outspokenness. She sat there silently without saying a word. When she felt Xiao Fan looking at her, she immediately lifted her head. Facing Xiao Fan's calm gaze, she suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think that I'm a very utilitarian and scheming bad girl?"
Xiao Fan sighed and shook his head. He was about to say something. Shangguan Tong continued bitterly. "I don't need to hide my identity from you. I'm the City Lord of Red Rock City. I'm Shangguan Chen's daughter! "
"My father used to be an ordinary citizen of Red Rock City. Due to the fact that the various factions in Red Rock City were unscrupulously oppressing and plundering the ordinary citizens, he worked hard to change the situation in Red Rock City. In the end, he successfully entered the Water Cloud Holy Land and became an inner disciple!"
"Three years ago, my father brought me to Red Rock City, which was surrounded by wolves, to take up the position of the mayor. At the same time, he started a drastic reform, changing the structure of Red Rock City step by step!"
"However, the price of change was huge. My father was assassinated more than a hundred times by the forces in Red Rock City and I was almost kidnapped a few times!"
Shangguan Tong turned her face to the outside. Her eyes were a little red. She continued bitterly, "It's not that I didn't think of retreating. But when my father took me to the slums and told me that it was the place where he was born and raised, I was determined!"
"I wasn't strong enough and couldn't help my father much. Therefore, all I could do was use my appearance as a woman to help my father ease the conflict between him and the forces in Red Rock City. From there, my father could achieve his dream of changing Red Rock City bit by bit!"
"Perhaps, this is unfair to Sun Zhengwei. Because no matter what, I've taken advantage of Sun Zhengwei's feelings. I've always been using him. Perhaps he's not a good person, but I'm really sorry for him!"
"I feel really bad. Why is there such a huge gap between reality and dreams? I don't want to use him and lie to him. However, I have to use him and lie to him. I …! "
Shangguan Tong choked with sobs and couldn't say anything. She just lowered her head and buried it in her arms. She lay on the table and cried softly.
Xiao Fan didn't know what to say as he watched Shangguan Tong cry softly.
That was because life was just like that. There were times when you felt that it was incomparably beautiful and there were times when you felt that it was incomparably terrible. You had no choice but to accept it and change yourself.
However, perhaps it was because of the gap between personal ideals and reality that countless people yearned for cultivation and wanted to be above others. Because only by becoming a cultivator could one not only enjoy everything, but also control one's own destiny!
After crying for a while, Shangguan Tong finally raised her head again. Then, she lowered her head and wiped her tears. She smiled at Xiao Fan again.
"Be strong. There's nothing in this world that can't be overcome!" Xiao Fan finally opened his mouth and said softly.
"En, I know!" The smile on Shangguan Tong's face once again became beautiful and brilliant as she nodded towards Xiao Fan.
"Also, don't forget what I said just now. If there's anything you can't solve, you can come to me!" Xiao Fan said as if he was joking, "Of course, you only have one chance. Because I'm very expensive!"
Shangguan Tong wasn't a pretentious woman. Although she didn't care much about Xiao Fan's words, she still smiled and nodded as she replied.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Shangguan Tong smiled at Xiao Fan again and said.
"Okay!" Xiao Fan nodded.
Shangguan Tong turned around and walked out. Before she left, she glanced at Sun Zhengwei, but a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She ignored Sun Zhengwei and walked out without hesitation.
Since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality today, there was no need to say anything else. In the future, everyone would mind their own business. The worst outcome would be them meeting on the battlefield.
Her father and she had lived in Red Rock City for three years and changed everything in Red Rock City bit by bit. How could they not have some trump cards and things to rely on?
On the other hand, the Sun family had always been indecisive. Most of the time, they were more inclined to be enemies. Now that she had shed all pretense of cordiality with Sun Zhengwei, it was just adding another enemy.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Who was afraid of who?
After Shangguan Tong left, Xiao Fan also got up and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, Sun Zhengwei walked over with a few young men and blocked Xiao Fan's path. He looked at him with a cold smile.
"Sickly man, you're very good!" Sun Zhengwei looked coldly at Xiao Fan and said viciously, "Because of you, Shangguan Tong and I are completely finished. Moreover, you let me see how I was played by Shangguan Tong like a fool. All of this is because of you. So, tell me, how do you want to die today?"
Xiao Fan sighed helplessly as he looked at Sun Zhengwei, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent. There were some things that he was too lazy to care about and had no intention of getting involved in. However, in the end, they just had to find him and drag him into a whirlpool of trouble. How depressing!
"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. Now, kneel down and kowtow to me three times to apologize. Then, this matter will be considered over!" Sun Zhengwei's expression became even more gloomy. He said viciously, "And I will go and find Shangguan Tong to settle the score!"
"Otherwise, I will beat you to death today and use your blood to wash away the humiliation in my heart!"
In response to Sun Zhengwei's words, Xiao Fan only stood there and frowned. His face was filled with impatience.
"Young Master Sun asked you to kneel, why aren't you kneeling down?" A good-looking girl behind Sun Zhengwei couldn't help but call out when she saw that Xiao Fan wasn't moving or talking.
His shout startled all the diners in the surroundings. Instantly, everyone turned to look at him.
"It's the second young master of the Sun family, Sun Zhengwei!"
"Damn, this group of lawless second generations is going crazy again. Let's go, we don't want to be implicated!"
"That sickly young man is going to be unlucky. In Red Rock City, not many people can afford to offend this group of second generations. He's going to be finished!"
"Offending Sun Zhengwei, even if he doesn't die, he will lose half of his life!"
In an instant, there was a flurry of discussion. Then, many diners began to pay their bills and left quickly. However, there were some who didn't leave and stood at a distance to watch! (End)
