Chapter 277 - 277: Good Temper
Many people’s gazes fell on Hai Tang, whose eyes were calm and indifferent, and they began to discuss in hushed voices.
” Oh my god, the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée has such a good temper. Won’t she be jealous when she sees Song Lin acting coquettishly towards the Dharma Cultivator?”
” I thought I’d be able to see two women fighting over a man. I didn’t expect it to be the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée tolerating him one-sidedly.”
‘ Hurry up and argue with Song Lin. Her hand is already on the Dharma Cultivator’s arm.”
After coquettishly saying a few words to the Dharma Cultivator, Song Lin even felt that the Dharma Cultivator actually liked her.
From this, she thought of Hai Tang, who had always been silent beside her, trying hard to reduce her presence.
Song Lin looked at Hai Tang and lifted her chin with a sense of superiority.” Why did you come to my birthday party with your face covered?” she asked. Did he think this was a masked ball? You really don’t know the rules!”
If Hai Tang was really the law cultivator’s fiancée, facing Song Lin’s deliberate difficulties, she would definitely feel embarrassed and ashamed at this moment.
However, Hai Tang had never thought of competing with Song Lin, so she replied in a good temper,” Recently, my face has been covered in a lot of pimples. I look very ugly. I’m worried that I’ll scare people if I show it, so I covered it. Please forgive me, Miss Song.”
Hai Tang’s voice was gentle and clear, and she spoke slowly and softly. In contrast, she immediately earned the favor and sympathy of the surrounding onlookers.
Song Lin did not expect Hai Tang to reply so humbly and amiably. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
This was completely different from what she had imagined. Logically speaking, under her provocation and deliberate targeting, the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée should have quarreled with her.
It was as if she had prepared a bellyful of ways to vent her anger, but her punch landed on soft cotton.
The surrounding people started discussing again. This time, even Song Lin could hear some of the discussions.
‘ So that’s why the Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée covered her face. Song Lin is deliberately trying to embarrass her.”
‘ She didn’t do anything wrong. She even apologized to Song Lin. I feel like the
Dharma Cultivator’s fiancée is a very nice and gentle person.”
“In comparison, Song Lin is so uneducated and arrogant.”
‘ She’s someone who has nothing to do with Dharma Cultivators, yet she actually provoked the righteous fiancée of a Dharma Cultivator. This is ridiculous.”
Song Lin’s expression stiffened. She glared at Hai Tang with a straight face.” It’s good that you know you’re ugly. People like you don’t deserve to stand beside Brother Dharma Cultivator. You…”
Without waiting for Song Lin to finish, Hai Tang quickly took a few steps back.
At the same time, she replied obediently.” I think so too. I’ll leave now. Miss Song, don’t be angry.”
Hai Tang sincerely hoped that Song Lin would not be angry, so she did not refute Song Lin at all.
Song Lin choked for a moment before continuing.” Look at how shy you are. I wonder which small family you come from. Don’t tell me you’re deliberately clinging onto Brother Dharma Cultivator because he’s rich, talented, and promising…”
Hearing this, Hai Tang couldn’t help but think of the little remaining balance in her Dharma Cultivator card. She subconsciously found it funny. She curled her lips and went along with Song Lin’s words.” Yes, this is the first time I’ve attended such a luxurious banquet. I really envy you for having such a good family environment.”
Hai Tang’s words were indeed the truth, but combined with Hai Tang’s
half-smile, Song Lin mistakenly thought that Hai Tang was deliberately being
sarcastic and mocking her.
Song Lin, who had been happy because the Dharma Cultivator’s attitude towards her had improved, became angry again because of Hai Tang.
She suddenly felt that Hai Tang’s words of concession and humility were deliberately said to make her seem unreasonable and unreasonable.
In Song Lin’s eyes, Hai Tang had already become a very scheming woman who was good at retreating in order to advance.
Feeling the strange gazes and whispers from the people around her, Song Lin felt like she was being played like a monkey by Hai Tang.
Her back stiffened and her heart raced. She gritted her teeth and was about to act up when the music in the banquet hall started. It was already time for the dance segment.
” Miss Song,” Hai Tang said considerately,” you’re the female lead tonight. Hurry up and go.”
These words might sound like encouragement and concern to others, but to Song Lin’s ears, it was extremely harsh.
‘ Hai Tang!” She glared hatefully at Hai Tang, then said to Fa Xiu unwillingly,” Brother Fa Xiu, I’ll come and find you later!” “Alright,” Dharma Xiu smiled kindly at her..
