Chapter 129 - 129 Targeting
129 Targeting
“You’re welcome. We’re sisters after all. It’s only right.” Zhang Rui didn’t notice that Yin Tao’s face was getting gloomier and gloomier. After touching up her makeup, Zhang Rui held Yin Tao’s arm and walked out of the washroom.
Yin Tao couldn’t explain herself clearly with just a few words. Since the situation was already out of control, she might as well finish what she started and keep up with the act with Brother Lin Jia.
Old Master Lin’s birthday banquet had already begun, and the emcee had also started giving a speech.
Yin Tao lowered her head, completely uninterested.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Feng Jing sat beside Yin Tao and asked with concern when he saw that Yin Tao was in a bad mood.
“I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.” Yin Tao mainly felt tired in her heart. Not only did she have to act, but she also had to endure psychological pressure.
Yin Tao remained silent throughout the entire birthday banquet. Even when she noticed Grandpa Lin looking at her from time to time, Yin Tao lowered her head and pretended to be an ostrich. After all, she didn’t want to be the Lin family’s granddaughter-in-law, so there was no need to ingratiate herself to him.
When the banquet ended, Yin Tao fled the hall with Feng Jing.
“I’ll send you back to the dormitory. You don’t look well. You should rest early.” Feng Jing sent Yin Tao to the car and walked back to the driver’s seat. Just as he was about to start the car, he was stopped by Le Yuan who ran over.
“Feng Jing, are you going back to the police station? Can you send me back to Central Hospital on the way?”
Feng Jing couldn’t find any excuse to refuse, so he nodded and gestured for Le Yuan to get into the car.
Le Yuan glanced at Yin Tao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and opened the back door unhappily.
“Why didn’t Dr. Yin wait for Brother Lin Jia? He is still busy and can only go after the guests have left.”
Yin Tao was truly unwilling to pay attention to Le Yuan. She didn’t care whether Le Yuan fancied Feng Jing or Lin Jia.
“I want to go back to the police dormitory. Captain Feng will give me a ride along the way.” Yin Tao leaned her head against the glass. Seeing this, Feng Jing lowered her seat slightly and slowly started the car.
Yin Tao glanced at Le Yuan through the rear-view mirror and found that she was indeed glaring at her unhappily. Yin Tao couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her. She was truly a little tired, so she simply closed her eyes and no longer looked at Le Yuan.
Feng Jing drove steadily and Yin Tao gradually felt sleepy.
“Feng Jing, can you help me buy a few band-aids from the pharmacy? My feet are worn out by the high heels. I won’t be able to walk later.”
Le Yuan looked at the pharmacy not far away and asked Feng Jing to stop the car.
“Alright, wait in the car for a while.” Feng Jing didn’t turn down Le Yuan’s request. Feng Jing wouldn’t have rejected this request even if it had been made by a stranger, all the more he wouldn’t reject Le Yuan, whom he had known for many years.
When Yin Tao realized that Feng Jing had gotten out of the car, she initially didn’t intend to open her eyes. However, she heard Le Yuan coldly say, “You’re really capable of wrapping Brother Lin Jia and Feng Jing around your fingers.”
Hearing Le Yuan’s baffling words, Yin Tao turned to look at her in puzzlement.
“There’s no one in the car. You don’t have to act with me.” Le Yuan’s voice had completely changed. Her tone was cold and stern, and Yin Tao’s sleepiness was swept away.
“How did I offend you? Why are you accusing me like this?” Yin Tao could tell that Le Yuan didn’t like her, to be framed like this caused her to lose her temper .
“Frame? You sure know how to pretend to be innocent. I’m not a man, so you don’t have to use these tricks on me.” Le Yuan had completely fallen out with Yin Tao, and she had shedded all pretexts of elegance and style.
Yin Tao smiled helplessly. She really didn’t understand. Even if Le Yuan liked Feng Jing, there was no need for her to target her like this. She had known Feng Jing for so many years and had never been together with him, so what did it have to do with her?
Seeing that Yin Tao didn’t respond, Le Yuan seemed to have gained the upper hand and continued pushing. She said, “You’re with Brother Lin Jia on the surface, but you’re also entangled with Feng Jing behind his back. I’ve never seen a woman as shameless as you.”
Not only was she spouting nonsense, she was now cursing her. Yin Tao couldn’t stand Le Yuan’s unreasonable behavior and turned away. There was no need for her to waste her breath on such a person.
“It’s your good luck to be able to get close to Brother Lin Jia. It’s best to stay away from Feng Jing. The Feng family is not as good-tempered as you think, they are not to be trifled with. Don’t be greedy.” Le Yuan continued relentlessly.
“Big sister, you have a wild imagination. If you have time, why don’t you get an appointment with a neurologist? Who knows, you might be suffering from some rare condition.” Yin Tao retorted as she couldn’t take Le Yuan nonsense anymore.
