Chapter 944: Chapter 944 - The Story of Ling and Heng (207)

Feng Mingzhu’s expression instantly stiffened.

This was because Feng Ling’s tone was not agitated whatsoever, nor did she appear to be flustered. She was composed and indifferent, as though she didn’t particularly take offense to anything. The stark contrast between them caused Feng Mingzhu’s behaviour to appear especially out of line.

“Feng Ling, I heard that you weren’t especially popular in the base. During training and examinations, you’re always full of tricks, causing everyone to dislike you. Don’t think that your small cleverness is useful with Nanheng. One day, when he sees through you, it’ll be useless even if you kneel down by his feet. The XI Base also won’t dare to keep you...”

When she saw that Feng Ling was finally watching her properly, Feng Mingzhu felt that she had managed to win this round. A smile appeared on her face. “Although XI Base has its own rules, as long as it’s something I wish to know, there’s nothing I can’t find out. In the past, I really never took a brat like you into consideration. But I never thought you would actually dare to stay in Nanheng’s place. I heard the people from your base say that you’ve always enjoyed clinging onto the men in your base. Look at that feminine appearance of yours. You can’t be a gay right; do you prefer men?”

“Cousin...” Why were her words becoming more and more out of line? Even Qin Shuke, who stood by the side, felt awkward.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Feng Mingzhu she was familiar with, although she could at times be a little dominating, actually wasn’t bad. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, these sort of clashes would only occur between love rivals. But this handsome boy was a boy, ah. Was there a need to target her so much? Furthermore, she was acting as though she wouldn’t give up until she successfully chased him away...

“Shuke, do you know why I brought you here today? I wanted you to take a good look at the handsome boy you’ve always liked. I think you’ve become infatuated with the wrong person. There’s an eighty percent chance he likes men. He is completely uninterested in women. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he show any reaction to a youthful and beautiful girl like you?” Feng Mingzhu smiled mockingly as she continued. “It seems like all sorts of people now have the courage to enter the XI Base. In the future, I should really properly inform the elderly at the Li family about this. We can’t let a gay, who isn’t a boy or a girl, ruin the XI Base’s outstanding reputation...”

“That’s not true. I’ve never really pursued him. I only asked for his phone number twice, but was rejected. Cousin, don’t misunderstand this. I didn’t take it to heart.” Qin Shuke furrowed her brows.

Feng Mingzhu faltered. She abruptly swerved around to glare at her: “Whose side are you standing on? You’re favouring this boy over your own cousin?”

“...” Qin Shuke’s expression was filled with innocence and embarrassment:.”No, I’m obviously on your side, but I don’t have any unhappiness with this handsome boy. I can’t say those words. I do like him, but I haven’t requested for him to do anything with me. Besides, he has always been very accommodating to me...”

Feng Mingzhu’s expression worsened.

Her face said it all; she had brought Qin Shuke along to help her, but who would have thought that Qin Shuke’s loyalty would be leaning out of the fence.

Feng Ling casually brought her phone out to check the time. She deliberated over it and felt that, since she didn’t have much to do, she wasn’t concerned about wasting time. She placed her phone back in her pocket and lifted her head, silently and calmly watching this woman who had come to stir up trouble. Her eyes were filled with scorn.

In fact, she found it strange herself. Why did Feng Mingzhu enjoy picking at her so much? Although they both had the surname Feng, they were clearly unrelated. Could it be that they were fated to offend each other?

Feng Ling’s attitude was mild, making it difficult for others to see through her. Feng Mingzhu continued speaking coldly: “The elders in the Li family already know about what you’ve done. Even if Nanheng wishes to protect you, I’m afraid those elders won’t agree to it. You just wait for the base to chase you out. Even if they won’t blame you for killing the commander, with the way you’re ruining the base’s reputation, there’s no way those elders will allow you to stay.”

Feng Ling appeared indifferent on the surface, as though she was completely unfazed. However, as she placed her phone in her pocket, her hand curled up into a fist. She gradually increased the pressure she was applying until her fingers turned pale.

What she worried most about was whether she could continue staying in XI Base.

If Feng Mingzhu took advantage of this incident to complain to the Li family... perhaps things would truly be affected.

“And so, Miss Feng, did you come on behalf of those Li family’s elders?” Feng Ling asked mildly.

Feng Mingzhu couldn’t see through her thoughts, but she guessed that the little brat was surely very bothered by this. She smiled in disdain. “This matter will eventually be revealed to the entire Li family. Aren’t you fully aware of how many people are unhappy with you in the base? This matter will eventually spread to them. I simply had a short conversation with the elders about this. They aren’t especially interested in your matters, but you’ve ruined the base’s reputation and now you’ve arrogantly moved in Nanheng’s place. They are clearly very angry about this. I wasn’t sent here to speak on their behalf; there’s no need for me to do so either. You’ll soon receive an official request to withdraw. The XI Base won’t have a place for you.”

Feng Ling could not be bothered to deal with Feng Mingzhu. She turned to Qin Shuke, whose expression was filled with confusion: “Miss Qin, if there’s nothing else, the both of you can leave now. I have my own principles when it comes to my own matters; I have no need for anyone’s judgement of it. I also understand my own worth best. Although we’ve never interacted much before, I can tell that your character is innocent and warmhearted; you don’t have much negative intentions. In the future, I suggest you stay away from this relative of yours whose mind is filled with schemes.”

Qin Shuke nodded with only half an understanding, wanting to say more. Feng Mingzhu couldn’t accept how Feng Ling appeared indifferent even after everything she had said. However, after considering that Feng Ling wouldn’t be able to smile after she was finally chased out of the base, she decided not to be petty with her.

Feng Mingzhu lifted her chin to say. “Now that the XI Base is embroiled in this matter, all of the influential people in the Li family, the Feng family, and the United Nations will definitely show up. Not a single one of them will be absent. After all, you’ve touched a higher-up in the military. I think you better turn yourself in. Don’t make them go through so much to protect you. After all, you’re already about to be kicked out. You should do some good deeds before leaving and save them the worry. What do you think?”

Feng Ling had said everything she needed to say. She was expressionless as she turned to head for the nearby convenience store.

Qin Shuke also rushed to give way to her.

Seeing this, Feng Mingzhu instantly became impatient. She continued with a cold smile: “Feng Ling, could it be, you wish for Li Nanheng to suffer serious pressure from the Li family for you? Do you know how devoted the elders in the Li family are to their work? He has always preferred to be unrestrained yet he is suffering from countless restrictions for you. He even agreed to the ridiculous conditions those elders are laying down! You’re really a wicked pest!”
