Chapter 1048 — My Girlfriend Worships Someone Else, But Wei Zhao Still Resolutely Beat Yu Bide to Death and Injured Pi Bo!

So Xie Yufeng knew perfectly well: if he really killed Wei Zhao today and Wei Zhao had no terrifying power behind him, fine; but if he did, then the moment Xie Yufeng had done the deed, the Yu family would truly be in a spot of danger!

And if the Yu family in hiding refused to show their face, the ones left to suffer would be his own secular-world branch!

At that thought, Xie Yufeng gritted his teeth. "Fine. Wang Congming — pay him five million."

Wu Chengtian had only been talking off the top of his head. Wasn't that how these things worked? Name a sky-high price and haggle it down on the spot — he'd throw out an outrageous figure and sit back to wait for Xie Yufeng's counteroffer. Wu Chengtian's real bottom line was five hundred thousand; the car had cost him only that much and hadn't even been registered yet, so he stood to lose nothing whatsoever.

But who could have guessed that the fool Xie Yufeng would simply agree? Wu Chengtian was overjoyed on the spot, amazed that he could be so formidable once he struck his heroic pose — the man had cowed at once!

Xie Yufeng transferred five million into Wu Chengtian's account and, thoroughly gloomy, headed back to school with Wang Congming and Li Panghu.

He couldn't quite wrap his head around it. Back when he'd been a student in Yanjing, how magnificent had he been! He hadn't even needed to brandish the Yu family's name — he could lord it over the school outright. And to deal with those students he hadn't needed so much as a flicker of true qi; he alone was the talk of the campus.

He'd gotten whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted it. To woo any girl, all it took was a crook of his finger; when that failed, he simply buried her in banknotes. He had been utterly unstoppable.

But ever since coming to Songshan City, everything seemed to have changed beyond recognition.

His dashing looks no longer did the trick. The girls here all seemed to have something wrong with their taste — they went for hard-bitten men like Wei Zhao instead of a delicate, doll-faced pretty boy like him. What kind of taste was that? And the girls here didn't seem to care about money either, as if every one of his advantages had evaporated overnight.

"Wei Zhao, just you wait. Once I've dug up your background, I'll have your life! And your girls — I'll take every last one of them for myself!" Xie Yufeng fumed as he stalked along.

"That's right — Wei Zhao's gone too far. Sooner or later, we'll finish him off!" Wang Congming chimed in agreement.

Meanwhile, the windshield of Wu Chengtian's Audi had been smashed to pieces and the car was undrivable, so he had no choice but to cadge a seat in Sun Jingyan's car.

"Jingyan, can I ride with you?" Wu Chengtian asked, a touch sheepishly. "This car of mine isn't going anywhere."

Sun Jingyan naturally had no wish to let Wu Chengtian into her own car, but letting him ride with Wei Zhao was even more out of the question — Wei Zhao and Wu Chengtian were far less acquainted, and besides, it wasn't even certain that Wei Zhao owned a car. Sun Jingyan still didn't know that the Beetle was Wei Zhao's.

"Wei Zhao, you take the passenger seat." Sun Jingyan hesitated a moment, then said to him.

Since Wu Chengtian's car couldn't be driven, she had no choice but to take him along in hers — but Sun Jingyan absolutely did not want him sitting beside her!

Until then Wei Zhao's attention had been fixed on Xie Yufeng and Wu Chengtian; hearing Sun Jingyan speak, he finally turned his gaze on her and was struck by an overwhelming sense of how stunning she was.

The person before him was certainly Sun Jingyan, only far more youthful and lively than the Sun Jingyan he'd last seen. Her earlier style had been decidedly dowdy — she had deliberately disguised herself to look mature — but now he saw it: this was the real Sun Jingyan.

At that moment Sun Jingyan looked about the same age as Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao, and even if she was older, it couldn't have been by more than a year or two.

Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Sun Jingyan, then at Wei Zhao, and couldn't help frowning. What exactly was the relationship between this little hottie and Wei Zhao? Why was she putting Wei Zhao in the passenger seat? She wasn't here to wreck the good thing between her and Wei Zhao, was she?

Feng Xiaoxiao had no stomach left for battling rivals in love. When she couldn't even count how many days she had left to live, what was the point of squandering them on fighting rivals? How could she still enjoy any romance? She had only just built a friendship with Tang Yun and Shen Yushu and no longer had to worry about them sparring with her openly — and now here came yet another Sun Jingyan?

"Hubby Wei Zhao, what's your relationship with this little hottie?" Feng Xiaoxiao whispered in Wei Zhao's ear.

"'Little hottie'?" Wei Zhao blinked, half laughing and half groaning at the nickname Feng Xiaoxiao had dreamed up for Sun Jingyan. "No relationship at all. She's a fake girlfriend — to bluff Wu Chengtian."

"Oh..." The moment Feng Xiaoxiao heard it was only a fake romance, she relaxed at once. In her book, real or fake alike, so long as it couldn't threaten her position as the little wife, it didn't matter a bit!

And since Wei Zhao was only Sun Jingyan's pretend lover, Feng Xiaoxiao naturally had nothing to fear from Sun Jingyan fighting her openly or in secret!

At that thought, Feng Xiaoxiao agreed without a moment's hesitation. "Then hurry up and take the passenger seat!"

"And you'll sit in the back with Wu Chengtian?" Wei Zhao was taken aback, never expecting Feng Xiaoxiao to be so generous.

"That's right, that's right! The fool just got five million — five million! I've got to figure out how to shake some of it loose, and we'll be loaded!" Feng Xiaoxiao said with a sly little grin.

"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. Five million was nothing to Wei Zhao, but since Feng Xiaoxiao was in such high spirits, he naturally wasn't about to stop her from fleecing the man.

"Brother Iron Hand, it's been ages since we had a good chat! Let's sit in the back, and you can tell me all about your recent heroic deeds!" Feng Xiaoxiao waved at Wu Chengtian with a beaming smile, her eyes squeezed into slits, her whole face glowing with adoration.

Wu Chengtian had been brooding over the fact that Sun Jingyan had given Wei Zhao the passenger seat, but the instant he heard Feng Xiaoxiao's words he broke into a beam. With Feng Xiaoxiao in the back seat, playing along while he showed off — now that was worth having! Far more practical than parking himself in the front.

At that, Wu Chengtian nodded hastily. "Sure thing — your big brother will tell you all about what's been going on lately!"

Sun Jingyan watched Feng Xiaoxiao and frowned. Was this girl Wei Zhao's girlfriend or Wu Chengtian's admirer? Why was she so effusively warm to Wu Chengtian right in front of Wei Zhao? What on earth was going on?

"Is this your girlfriend?" Sun Jingyan glanced at Wei Zhao and asked softly.

"Mm..." Wei Zhao didn't deny it. Having already accepted Feng Xiaoxiao, he naturally took her for his girlfriend.

"Oh? Only, she seems to be rather fond of Wu Chengtian?" Sun Jingyan reminded him.

"Fond? Heh — you'll see in a moment." Wei Zhao knew Sun Jingyan meant well and took no offense; he merely answered her that much.

"Oh..." Sun Jingyan looked at Feng Xiaoxiao's innocent, guileless face, thoughtful.
