Broken Shoes

Kang Yongnian seemed to be dazzling with pride and over-confidence. His eyes couldn't conceal the overflowing disdain and condescension like he was some immortal being looking down on puny mortals.

The old man looked cocky as hell.

If his situation permitted him he would even like to guffaw maliciously but the pain in his chest held him back.

Glancing at him Jiang Ying Yue also felt that he needed a good beating to ensure his sound health.

Those two kicks were far from enough to set him straight.

This old coot was still disobedient.

Kang Yongnian was waiting for Jiang Ying Yue to bow down in fear and beg him for mercy.

While the crowd watching the show gave the girl a sympathetic glance.

The girl wouldn't have a good ending.

They all thought.

" Hehe...." A crisp, melodious bell-like laughter broke out suddenly.

Her smile looked sweet but the look in her eyes was chilling and mocking as she said, " It's great then, remember, Lord Kang, you forced me to do this."

Kang Yongnian looked puzzled not understanding her meaning until he heard the remaining half of the sentence his expression changed.

" Guards, escort Lord Kang inside the mansion! He's our esteemed guest from now on."

The alarm bell went off. Kang Yongnian was stiff and pale.

Esteemed guest?.... She was capturing him as a hostage.

But it was too late.

Because of his injury, Kang Yongnian was stiff and slow, every time he moved he moved a bit it causing him excruciating pain.

He knew that he was internally injured. The kicks earlier were quite heavy.

" What are you doing?! Let go!" Kang Yongnian was rattled, he had no idea what the girl was planning to do.

Once he entered her door he would be at her mercy, Kang Yongnian refused to accept this.

Despite the excruciating pain he resisted, praying with all his heart for the Heavens to have mercy on him and send someone to his rescue.

" Let go! Let go of my father!" Jiang Ying Yue's guards were just about to haul the old man a figure shot out and pushed them, shielding the old man.

It was a young man.

Although, he looked much skinny and dispirited Jiang Ying Yue recognized the man at first glance. He was Kang Bo, the adopted son of Kang Yongnian and the person who stepped on her mother's toes and got his dantian punctured by her which resulted in all this nonsense.

Just like his father, Jiang Ying Yue didn't have any good feelings towards him. She could even say that he was sort of her enemy.

She still remembered the drama he had staged to avenge Cheng Li Juan a month ago.

Jiang Ying Yue had no guilt in throwing all the blame on the young man completely forgetting about the fact it was she who had put on a miserable act to set him up in the end.

Just who asked him to provoke her?

Kang Bo had only himself to blame.

However, he was just an insignificant one. Jiang Ying Yue didn't pay him much attention she moved her gaze and saw the crowd parting.

" It's the crown prince and the crown princess!"

" The crown prince is here!"

" Greetings, Your Highnesses!"

Kang Yongnian heaved a long sigh of relief, he was finally saved!

' Oh, these two are still together!'

Jiang Ying Yue raised her brows.

' Also looked more sticky.'

' They are indeed 'twu lwuv'. '

Jiang Ying Yue wanted to clap and praise their great love.

Forgiving and loving each other despite knowing that their dear ones were slutty enough to be ready to cheat on them any second.

That's right, behind Kang Bo followed the esteemed Crown prince, Xiao Tengfei, and his fiancee, Bai Ya.

Although the official ceremony was yet to be held everyone had already Bai Ya as the crown princess, it was set in stone.

The Crown Prince was kind and handsome while Bai Ya was talented and beautiful, they were a match made in heaven.

Everyone naturally accepted and blessed the lovely couple.

Some also envied the couple for their fortune to encounter such competent other halves.

They were just like an immortal couple, having only eyes for each other.

If Jiang Ying Yue had heard she would have clapped and said that they really had a good judgment.

The couple was indeed a match made in heaven: A scumbag and a lecher, What a perfect combination!

The Emperor was sure generous to send them as cannon fodder.

Did he think that these two pretentious b*tches could win against her?

Under the envious and admiring gazes of the crowd, the couple walked over.

" Oh...Greetings, Your Highness, what brings you here?" Jiang Ying Yue asked with a languid smirk, her posture lopsided and lazy as if she had no bones in her body.

With a smile, her mirthful eyes then landed on both heads imagining them to be dazzling green.

But after a thought, she also somewhat understood their predicament and even kindly showed them her sympathy.

This so-called immortal couple might be lacking in that department.

Seeing that although Jiang Ying Yue greeted him she didn't bow nor did she show him any respect, Xiao Tengfei was fuming. However, in front of the crowd, he could only simmer down his rage as he still had to maintain his kind and gentlemanly image.

Otherwise, Hmph!...

However, what was that look in her eyes?....

Those pair of mirthful eyes gave Xiao Tengfei a weird feeling.

He couldn't tell what it was but that look really irked him.

Despite being disgusted by that ugly soot-covered face Xiao Tengfei still gave her a few more probing glances only to be caught in the act by Bai Ya.

Seeing the jealousy and deep hatred brewing within her eyes he was left speechless.

What was she thinking?

Would he fall for that ugly boor?

His taste wasn't that low.

Not to mention, how much effort he had exhausted in order to get rid of her. There was no way he was taking her back.

Bai Ya was already seething seeing the flirtatious smile that b*tch, Jiang Ying Yue threw him earlier. Now that she even managed to snag a few glances from her fiance Bai Ya couldn't wait to tear that b*tch apart.

" Jiang Ying Yue, you ugly freak, how dare you seduce my fiance?!" Bai Ya exploded the next second.

Seeing her bubbling with rage Xiao Tengfei knew Bai Ya was up for stirring huge trouble, however, given the circumstances he couldn't allow her to do so. He had to achieve his goal.

Moreover, he couldn't let himself be a public joke.

What would the public think if they saw his fiancee behaving like a shrew?

He knew Bai Ya's temper very well that was why he had to stop her before things got out of control.

On the other hand, he was also disgusted and cursed Jiang Ying Yue for being a sl*t.

Had not been for that enigmatic look she threw him earlier he wouldn't have bothered to give her a second glance.

Now it was just great!

That ugly hag had caused him trouble.

" Miss Bai, if you have a problem with your eyesight you better call for a physician." Jiang Ying Yue looked speechless at her accusation, " Don't go around talking nonsense and ruining people's reputations. It might not matter much to your fiance but I still want to get married in the future."

Was that lecher out of her mind?!

Did she think that she was blind as her to take a fancy to that sissy Xiao Tengfei?

Her standard wasn't that low.

The look of disgust in her eyes was too apparent that it ticked Xiao Tengfei off, who was looking for a chance to placate Bai Ya to stop.

However, seeing the look he held himself back, wanting to see what she was playing at.

" What do you mean?!" Bai Ya's voice turned sharper as her temper completely blew up, " Do you think that I can't understand your petty thoughts?! You just want to cling on to Brother Fei now that you have no one to rely on! You b*tch, just give up on your evil plans I will never let you succeed, Brother Fei can only be mine! " Bai Ya had always been domineering and frighteningly possessive.

Especially now that both of them have consummated their relationship.

Xiao Tengfei was her man and he could only be hers!

" What petty thoughts could I have for someone else' broken shoes? I am not that desperate yet." Jiang Ying Yue's tone didn't hide her disdain, her acerbic words left the crowd speechless, she was not to be outdone, " And yes he is yours, he can keep him."

Broken shoes?....

Did she...did she just call the Crown Prince a broken shoe?....

Oh, my, God! This show was sure interesting!

Abhram and Azure threw a glance at the man who was munching on nuts while gleefully snickering as he sat beside them watching the show with relish.

This Wei Mo really knew how to enjoy.
