It seems that Song Xi sensed soone watching her, and she suddenly turned her head towards Song Qiao, only for her expression to darken upon seeing her. "Song Qiao, why is it you?"
The boy who was originally about to pick out a cake for Song Xi halted in his tracks upon hearing her voice, looking straight at Song Qiao before walking back to Song Xi’s side.
Song Qiao’s expression remained unchanged, her eyebrows raised slightly, and a faint smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth. But that smile seed more mocking than genuine. "Why can’t it be ? It’s not like you own this cake shop."
Running into Song Xi at the cake shop, really, enough is enough.
"Song Qiao, you..." Song Xi’s face turned from pale to flushed with rage, realizing how foolish her previous question was. At a loss for words to retort, she could only glare at Song Qiao with evident hatred in her eyes.
Seeing Song Xi looking at her like that, Song Qiao felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness. She hadn’t actually done anything to Song Xi, aside from that ti Song Xi angered her and she locked her in the restroom for half a day. It didn’t seem like she had done anything excessive at other tis, so Song Qiao really didn’t understand why Song Xi hated her so much.
This actually gave Song Qiao the feeling that the animosity had sohow turned the other way.
After all, it was Song Xi and her mother who destroyed their family ho and stole away her father’s love. If anyone should be feeling hatred, it should be Song Qiao hating Song Xi.
Seeing that Song Qiao wasn’t speaking, Song Xi directly opened her mouth and said, "I heard Gu Linyuan is planning to get engaged. What about it? Song Qiao, your ex-boyfriend is about to get engaged to soone else, don’t you think that makes you pathetic right now?"
"The pathetic one is you, not ," Song Qiao replied calmly, a hint of amusent flashing in her eyes. She continued to speak to Song Xi, "Gu Linyuan and I have been over for a long ti. Whether he gets engaged or not is none of my business. Talking to about it is pointless. But about you, didn’t you like him too at the beginning? I actually thought you were the one he was getting engaged to, turns out I was wrong."
Song Qiao was indeed surprised about Gu Linyuan getting engaged.
However, looking at Song Xi in front of her, she probably understood the aning behind Song Xi’s words to her; likely Song Xi thought she was still in love with Gu Linyuan, hence coming over to say these words to provoke her.
But as far as Song Qiao was concerned, Gu Linyuan no longer stirred any emotions in her heart.
She was now... a married woman.
In every aspect, Lu Jingchen was leagues above Gu Linyuan.
"Miss Song, your cake is all packed up." Just then, the girl who was packing for Song Qiao ca out, holding a very pretty box in her hands, and smiled slightly at Song Qiao as she spoke.
Song Qiao returned the smile with a hum, then glanced indifferently at Song Xi, who was standing there with a face reddened with anger, not saying anything more and directly walking towards the cashier.
Song Xi, with a bellyful of words ready to embarrass Song Qiao, found herself unable to utter them, suppressed by the fury that reddened her face.
"Xiao Xi..." The boy who ca with her looked at Song Xi with a touch of concern, "What’s wrong? Are you okay?"
Song Xi adjusted the expression on her face, forcing a strained smile, "It’s nothing, sorry, I just..."
"You were pretty aweso just now," the boy said with a slight smile, adoringly gazing at her. "It’s the first ti I’ve seen you dare to strike back at soone like that."
