Cheng Lingsu's face turned slightly pale. She couldn't recognize the Ouyang Qian and Li Dan who stood before her right now. Even if there was a difference between them, there was no need to injure the other side using such a method as they could just part ways. After all, they were friends for 3 years during the most precious youth period, "Don't kid around. I really have something important to do. It's quite crucial to me."
She still hoped that they were just joking with her.
"Kid around?" The smile on Ouyang Qian's face gradually withered away, replaced by an ice-cold frown, "Cheng Lingsu, do you think you're still some mighty lady? You think you can boss us sisters around like you did in high school? Do you think we'll do whatever you ask us to do?"
"Qianqian, Little Dan, how can say such words? I never bullied you in high school and treasured our friendship very much. I've always treated you as my good sisters."
Ouyang Qian laughed out loudly, "Naturally, all the good things were hogged by you while we could only act as supporting characters. Of course, you were happy all the time. If I had two sisters who acted as my lackeys and worked for me whenever I want them to, I too would've been happy and treated treasured that friendship."
Pain flashed through Cheng Lingsu's eyes, "You actually thought like that."
"Why did you…"
She was planning to ask why she had remained her friend if she didn't like it, but she couldn't ask it as she had already realized the reason. It was because she was the Second Young Lady of the Cheng family and was considered by them as one kind of resource which they could invest in.
The pain in her eyes turned into agony.
People whose eyes well full of greed were actually this disgusting. It was no wonder that the elders always warned that one must make friends carefully. She finally understood that the elders were trying to pass down wisdom they had acquired through experience. She recalled how she had acted towards Jiang Xiu and felt even more regret and finally comprehended how much he loathed her.
"I'm requesting you. Please give the invitation card to me."
Ouyang Qian laughed proudly, "Since you're requesting, it must look that way. Kneel down and beg me, maybe I'll give you the invitation card then."
"Will you really give it to me if I kneel down and ask you?"
"Kneel!"
Cheng Lingsu lowered proud head and slowly bent her knees, kneeling down. Kneeling down in front of so many people was quite humiliating. Ouyang Qian and Li Dan were already high from the rush of witnessing the incredible scene before them. Finally, Cheng Lingsu knelt on the lush green lawn.
"Hahahaha…"
"Cheng Lingsu, to think a day when you would kneel in front of me would arrive!"
Cheng Lingsu didn't have the slightest amount of shame or hate. On the contrary, she felt like she had gained a lot from it. She hadn't knelt for Ouyang Qian or for Li Dan but rather to express her transformation, to repent for injuring Jiang Xiu before.
As Jiang Xiu was very powerful, she didn't think she could do anything for him, but at this moment, she believed she could.
"Are you satisfied now? Can you give me the invitation card now?"
"Hahaha. Didn't I just tell you? I'll think about it if you drink the beer."
"You…" Cheng Lingsu looked at her with fury.
"What? Don't play the game if you don't want to."
"A'Ben, you damned fellow. Looks like you're gonna benefit this time…" Li Dan heckled, "Susu, our Jiang City's Second High's No. 1 campus queen is going to blow your pipe and pleasure you to death."
That boy sat down on the chair with a grin on his mouth and placed the beer bottle between his crotch.
"DRINK IT…"
"DRINK IT…"
The others began to jeer as well.
Cheng Lingsu said, "Ouyang Qian, don't act too excessively."
Ouyang Qian acted as if she was scared and jumped back, "Whoa! You really scared me. Are you going to call your Flower Protection Envoy, Ye Wenchen to handle me? Don't waste your breath. His father got sacked, and he's in quite a miserable situation now."
"Drink it quickly!"
"Drink it!"
A group of boys in the side heckled again.
"If you want the invitation card, you have to entertain us." Ouyang Qian took out the invitation card, "If you don't drink it, I'll tear the invitation card. You won't get it ever then…"
Cheng Lingsu's face turned ugly. She realized that Ouyang Qian won't give her the invitation card unless she suffered enough humiliation.
But if she did such a thing, her image would hit rock bottom. It would become a stain on her life. She wouldn't have cared if it was her alone, but she wasn't alone now. She had another astonishing identity, she was Mr. Jiang's wife.
Doing such a thing would humiliate Mr. Jiang make him the laughingstock.
Therefore, though she knelt, she would never receive such humiliation.
A severe look gradually appeared in Cheng Lingsu's pretty eyes, "Ouyang Qian as well as the other students, do you absolutely want to do this? Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't act too excessively and give the invitation card to me. I'll owe you one that way and return riches and honor to you."
Ouyang Qian shook her head, assuming a helpless appearance, "Are you still dreaming? To tell you the truth, I want your ruin your, Cheng Lingsu's reputation all the way down today."
"What can you do about that?"
Cheng Lingsu looked at Ouyang Qian who stood there proudly, "Ouyang Qian, you believe I'll accept such humiliation since my Cheng family has gone bankrupt? Let me tell you that you can't afford to offend me now more than before."
"Hahahaha…"
Ouyang Qian laughed heartily, "Little Dan, did you hear that? It's too funny. She says I can't afford to offend her? What can a poor wretch like you even do to me?"
Cheng Lingsu said, "Ouyang Qian, don't forget that we are girls, not men. Girls are quite simple. If only their man is good, they can get anything they want."
"I forgot to tell you one thing. I got married."
Ouyang Qian and Li Dan looked at each other. Cheng Lingsu's beauty was something that even they girls envied, let alone men. They couldn't say her words were a lie but all the wealthy and elite families attached importance to social status. Cheng Lingsu didn't have anything at all so he could at most act as a Cinderella, become a man's concubine or mistress, forever unable to obtain a proper position in this life.
"Oh? I'll have to congratulate you then. I wonder which man's plaything you've become? It isn't some old man older than your father, right?"
Only those old men who possessed influence and power took a poor, pretty girl as a wife.
Cheng Lingsu took a step forward, her gaze falling on Ouyang Qian's face, "Ouyang Qian, listen clearly. My husband is Jiang Luoxia…"
Boom!
These words led to a million waves.
Everyone became restless, whispering to each other. Their gazes towards Cheng Lingsu changed, and even Ouyang Qian and Li Dan's expressions turned ugly.
They all knew who Jiang Luoxia was. Though Gu Dezhi couldn't be called the leader of the administrative side of Jiangnan's border region, Mr. Jiang was definitely at the top of the underworld side.
Who didn't know of this ruthless character?
"I-Impossible! How can you marry Mr. Jiang?"
"That's just impossible!"
Ouyang Qian said, "Cheng Lingsu, don't think you can scare us with such words. Mr. Jiang is our former classmate and though we had interacted with him before, don't forget we had opposed him back then. How could he have married you."
"This is the marriage certificate!"
Ouyang Qian took a look at it.
There was a photograph on the marriage certificate. Cheng Lingsu wore a slight smile on her face while Jiang Xiu had a reluctant appearance on his as if he was unwilling, but it was indeed Mr. Jiang, even his name was written on it clearly - Jiang Xiu.
Others might not know that Jiang Xiu was Jiang Luoxia but Ouyang Qian and Li Dan knew it. They were classmates in high school and had witnessed him throw the Wang family's family head, Wang Xuehai, off the helicopter when he had subdued the Wang family and also saw him kill the Wang family's Demigod with their own eyes.
"Aaah?"
Ouyang Qian and Li Dan felt their head hurt.
"How is this possible?!"
"Such injustice!"
They looked at Cheng Lingsu, feeling as if the heavens were playing a big joke on them. Since her family was ruined, she shouldn't have obtained a chance for reversing her fortune again, but the world had given her such a powerful man.
"I want the invitation card for my husband!"
"Now, will you give me the invitation card or not?"
Ouyang Qian's face turned pale. She was a loss because didn't have an invitation card. What she had with her was just a greeting card, that's all.
