Good Morning, Miss Undercover

43

I turned my head around. My neck stiff, my mouth still chewing on the cauliflower, wishing I was chewing the man like a cauliflower to deflect the hatred in my heart.

To be fair, I should not feel angry but did not know why a fire had ignited in my heart which made me flared up.

I really wanted to shout out loud but also could not curse. So I spent all my energy on the cauliflower, vigorously chewing on it.

The two middle-aged women had left and Jiang Li had strolled over. He glanced at me chewing on my food, picked up a crab and put it on his plate and asked. "Are you very angry?"

I froze for a moment, suddenly remembered that Jiang Li had seen Kang Zixian before. I had also spun a web of lies to explain my relationship with him and therefore could only give Jiang Li an answer. "En."

"I'm sorry." He said softly by my side. "I did not know that he was in this match-making banquet and I had to bring you......"

I turned my head sideways and glanced at Kang Zixian in the distance and he was holding a glass talking to the beauty. In fact, a pair of shining eagle eyes were staring at me and I smiled helplessly at Jiang Li. I sighed and said. "Who told my cousin sister to fall in love with a playboy.....adults often says an idiom......the path...what....enemy....what.

"The path of enemies are narrow*. " Jiang Li said with a laugh. "Your knowledge of the language is really good." (Refers to the meeting of enemies.)

I stuffed a tomato into my mouth, mocking myself, I said. "Yes, yes.....my math is also very good."

"I know." Jiang Li said in a calm tone.

We both laughed together but my mood did not improve.

"Xiao Li, come over." Not far away, Jiang Li's mother called out to him and Jiang Li walked over in quick steps. I put away my smile, turned around and met Kang Zixian's lingering gaze. My heart burst with disgust. I stared back at him, stuffed a cauliflower into my mouth and fiercely chewed on it.

From time to time, his eyes would drift over. I told myself I would see this through, no matter what. While carrying a plate I ate and drank. Brazenly without blinking, I looked at him having an intimate talk with the beauty. My heart did not want to make it easy for him.

The sweet and elegant curly-haired beauty was talking non-stop. From time to time, Kang Zixian would answer in monosyllables then I saw him hold up his phone to text a message. Then he looked up at me and soon, I heard my phone sounded with a 'ding'.

Even if this number had turned to ash, I would still be able to recognize it. The message said: Come up to the second floor

I raised my eyebrows, deleted it and continued to eat with my head bowed. I intended to go with Dong Zi to complete my task.

Dong Zi was eating happily, completely did not notice the dark tide surging on this side. Jiang Li with a sorry look on his face, came over to tell me that his father had stood too long and his injured leg was giving him trouble. His mother had told him to send his father home. My heart skipped. Jiang Li was hesitant to say something. His mother was holding up Jiang Yuan Loong whose face was pale, whispering and urging him over. Jiang Li could only say. "I'll be back soon."

And then he left.

Looking at his retreating back, I was doing some mental calculations to decide my next course of action, when Kang Zixian's grandmother, Wan Taijun walked out of the door. Around her were a few middle-aged men and women. She smiled brightly and politely. From time to time she had a few words with her guests.

When she saw Kang Zixian and his beautiful, slim companion on the lawn, the old lady's eyes lit up. She nodded to several guests and went up to them.

On seeing his grandmother, Kang Zixian's expression was still not good. With a poker face expression, he exchanged a word or two with his grandmother. After seeing that her grandson was not happy to talk, she turned to the curly-haired beauty and greeted her. The beauty was flattered and shyly smiled.

Kang Zixian had been looking at me with his lips pursed with a stiff expression. I guessed that he blamed me for disrupting his match-making.

The two of us were secretly battling with our eyes.

His grandmother was a very sharp person and saw that, from time to time, he would glance over to the banquet table. Her sharp old eyes also looked over suspiciously. I was caught by surprise and hurriedly turned around.

She gave me a quick glance. I hope the old lady had forgotten about me and this time will not remember who I am.

I stood around the banquet table leisurely, sneakily stealing glances to the right of the lawn and found Wan Taijun talking to Jiang Li's mother. Her mother's cousin sister hurriedly went up to greet her and from time to time, her eyes would drift over to Kang Zixian.

I looked to the left and Kang Zixian was standing at the banquet table, diagonally opposite to where I was standing, putting some salad onto his plate.

At this time, Dong Zi was hiding in a corner of the table devouring his food. He looked up and saw Kang Zixian. He forgot to swallow the meat in his mouth and with his mouth full, he looked helplessly at me. After that, his eyes began to dart all over the place as if looking for someone.

This guy became frightened and I guessed that he was looking for Deng Loong.

I was also on the alert and angrily glanced at Kang Zixian standing opposite me. Just as I wanted to leave with Dong Zi, unexpectedly, the villa doors opened and the big, burly Deng Loong appeared. His brutal eyes looked over this side and in two to three steps he came over.

Dong Zi was frightened silly, staring at the imposing Deng Loong. Under tremendous pressure, my hand holding the plate began to tremble and my scalp tingled. I quickly stepped forward to stop him. Deng Loong had already opened his mouth to confront me in a rude manner like a monster. "Police Officer Fang,.....you and Police Office Ai went to my place and created trouble, we will talk this over another day. As for now......" He cast a glance evilly at Dong Zi who was shaking like a leaf and he smiled. He gave a laugh. "I want to settle with your Police Office Ai and you'd better not interfere." Looking at me and saw that I was looking at him like an enemy, he suddenly realized. "Oh, Police Office Fang, you don't know? Your young Brother Ai here had lost 8 million dollars to me and now he wants to play hide and seek with me. I, Dengmou, recently is a bit tight, so have to look for your young brother to return my money. Is this wrong?"

Deng Long's righteous tone make people disgusted and I could not believe what he said. I turned my head and asked Dong Zi. "This.....is this true? Do you owe him money?"

Dong Zi who had kept quiet all this while, clammed up his mouth for a long time before he nodded with difficulty. He pleaded with a tearful voice. "Senior Sister, please save me. I was muddle-headed. I didn't notice........I lost more and more........Senior Sister, save me......I have no money to pay him........"

Seeing Dong Zi in such a situation, Deng Loong laughed like a well-fed cat like he would at any time open his big mouth and swallow the little mouse........whole.

Since ancient time, debt repayment was right and proper. Dong Zi was not able to repay the money and repayment in flesh was a matter of course. I felt helpless and could only look back at Kang Zixian. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be deaf with his head down, leisurely picking up a cauliflower and slowly putting it on his plate.

It seems that all of tonight's cauliflower was in my stomach and this man's stomach.

Deng Loong appeared at a certain point in time and I could not help but suspected that this man was the actual mastermind of this whole scenario.

Looking at the men's evil faces, I felt a burst of nausea.
