Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1278 - I Lost Too Unfairly


Chapter 1278: I Lost Too Unfairly

After having witnessed Si Yiyan’s impeccable abilities, everyone began to behave themselves and stopped trying to think of ways to prank him. Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan chatted with Si Yiyan merrily.

Xu Tongxuan and Zhou Tianyu were incredibly astonished after hearing about Si Yiyan’s experiences and remarked in awe, “It’s no wonder that you’re Old Mr. Mo’s student.”

Xu Tongxuan and Zhou Tianyu did not know Si Yiyan well.

The very first time they met him was at Lan Feng Institute, where they were taken aback by his stunning good looks and aura. Later on, Wen Xinya arranged for them to meet him at the club, where a fire broke out and Si Yiyan braved his life to rescue Wen Xinya. Since then, they approved of him and Wen Xinya.

However, those were all just external factors.

It was only now that they truly admired him.

Even the guys could not help but be impressed by Si Yiyan, who was one of Old Mr. Mo’s best students. They knew that he was absolutely compatible with Wen Xinya who had just emerged as the winner of the Heiress’ Gala.

Even Xu Zhenyu could not help but suppress the feelings and desires that he harbored towards Wen Xinya.

The meeting came to an end at ten!

Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan were the first ones to leave. Gu Junling had to send Zhou Tianyu home while Ling Qingxuan had to send Xu Tongxuan home. Hence, Han Mofeng and Xu Zhenyu were the only ones left.

When Gu Junling left, he shot Han Mofeng a glance which the latter obviously understood, especially since they had been the best of friends for so many years.

He undoubtedly wanted Han Mofeng to accompany Xu Zhenyu and talk some sense into him.

As soon as they left, Xu Zhenyu began drowning his sorrows in liquor. “I was just asking for trouble and bringing misery to myself.”

He was the one who wanted to see Si Yiyan, regardless of Gu Junling’s advice. He had a glimmer of hope within him and no one could stop him from insisting on having a duel with the man who snatched away the love of his life.

In the end! He lost terribly.

Wen Xinya would obviously have good taste in men.

He had already dealt with Si Yiyan several times in three years.

The first time was when Wen Xinya got kidnapped by Fu Tianyang, and Si Yiyan beat him to her rescue.

The second time was when Wen Xinya got abducted by the thugs. He had clearly put in the effort and slogged away to rescue Wen Xinya. Yet, the person who succeeded in saving her in the end was still Si Yiyan.

Han Mofeng sat beside Xu Zhenyu and said with remorse, “Xu-er, I’m part to blame for this too. When you first left Capital city to go to Northwest Military Camp, you told me to keep an eye on Xinya. However, I failed to do so and allowed Ninth Si to take advantage. As your buddy, I’ve really let you down.”

Actually, he did keep an eye on Wen Xinya, but he was rather lax about it. After all, Wen Xinya was only eighteen years old back then and no one would think that a grown man would harbor designs on her. To his astonishment, the perverted Si Yiyan actually managed to win her heart despite Old Mr. Mo’s presence.

Xu Zhenyu remained silent. Although he did resent Han Mofeng a little, he knew clearly that Han Mofeng was not at fault. He knew that he shouldn’t have gotten another man to keep an eye on the woman he loved.

Noticing his petulant expression, Han Mofeng said, “Xu-er, I actually already found out about Xinya’s relationship with Ninth Si, like the rest. However… I didn’t know how I should tell you about it. That’s why I haven’t told you about it. I didn’t do you justice this time, so you may take it out on me by beating me into a pulp!”

Had he informed Xu Zhenyu earlier, the latter would have had prepared himself mentally before returning to Capital city. Hence, he wouldn’t have gotten such a huge blow. Or perhaps… he wouldn’t even have returned in the first place. Although the living conditions in the Northwest region were tougher and full of danger, he would at least get to avoid facing his hopeless relationship.

“You do deserve a beating!” Xu Zhenyu exclaimed before pouncing onto Han Mofeng and pinning him down onto the couch to beat him up.

He decided to beat Han Mofeng up, not because he failed to keep an eye on Wen Xinya, but rather, Xu Zhenyu was upset about the fact that they had all hid Wen Xinya’s relationship from him. As a result, he was just like an ignorant fool who headed back to Capital city just for the sake of being with her.

Han Mofeng did not make a single sound.

Xu Zhenyu was exhausted after beating Han Mofeng up. He let go of him and sat on the couch while panting heavily. “Forget it. You’re not wrong. Even if I hit you, I’m just venting my anger on you. I’m the one at fault.”

No one else was to blame for an unrequited relationship in the first place.

Han Mofeng’s face was red and swollen, and he even began bleeding from his mouth. Staring at Xu Zhenyu, he said sympathetically, “Xu-er…”

Xu Zhenyu said dejectedly, “I’ve always wondered if things would be different had I listened to my grandfather and stayed in Capital city instead of going to the Northwest Military region.”

Han Mofeng was at a sudden loss for words.

Xu Zhenyu continued, “Loony… I really lost unfairly. I didn’t even get the chance to fight. Wen Xinya and Ninth Si are in love with each other. If I were to intervene, I would just be shaming myself. Had I stayed in Capital city back then, I would at least have a chance to fight and the outcome might just be different.”

Han Mofeng patted him on his shoulder. Actually, he also thought that Xu Zhenyu shouldn’t have left Capital city in the first place. However, none of his advice worked because some people told Xu Zhenyu that he would have a better future and a greater chance of growing rapidly in the Northwest Region.

Xu Zhenyu asked in a hoarse voice, “Loony, tell me… what’s so good about Ninth Si? Why did Wen Xinya choose him?”

He actually knew just from the fact that Si Yiyan had managed to rescue Wen Xinya from danger time and time again, that he was inferior to Si Yiyan. However, he still felt indignant.

After staring at Xu Zhenyu for a while, Han Mofeng said, “Xu-er, I don’t wish to lie to you either since we’re brothers. Actually, Ninth Si is a nice person and he treats Xinya well too. We can all tell that we’re not on the same level as him. We’ve never been able to impress him, but he only has eyes for Xinya. Look…” Han Mofeng then pointed at Si Yiyan’s seat.

Xu Zhenyu stared at the orange peels and shells of macadamias, pistachios, and walnuts.

Xu Zhenyu was at a loss for words.
