Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 268: One Must Jump to Action When the Time Is Right (2)

She bought this dress before the downfall of the Luo’s and this was the first time she put it on! That thought sent a chill though her. The chill spread from her clothes into her bones. He was handsome as usual and his black suit’s cut was perfect. For some inexplicable reasons, half of his face was hidden in the shadow! Never mind the a hoarse, low, and cold like iron voice that seemingly came straight from hell. Huo Sishen’s thin lips parted slightly and he gave her a cruel smile. BAM! Luo Pingting fell back into her seat. He cursed people. It was true! Huo Sishen watched as fear began to condense on her face. He had a sarcastic look on him and he did not try to cover up his feeling of distaste and contempt. He pursed his lips. Luo Pingting, shivering, grabbed her purse as she trembled and pretty much dashed for the door. Huo Sishen picked up the napkin and wiped his slender and beautiful long fingers. He stressed the second half of his sentence. “No…” That’s what Gu Wushuang had told her but she refused to believe! She had thought that Huo Sishen was interested in her. She had lost her fortune as the daughter of the Luo’s; the Luo’s reputation had been dragged through mud, and she had lost her opportunity to marry into another prominent family. She thought the purpose was to harmonize things through music when, in fact, it was meant to be this type of an insult?! Luo Pingting felt that she had fallen into an ice hole! “What happened?” Luo Pingting’s face was twisted. She wasn’t the one who fell on flat ground, alright?! It was someone else who did! “Get up already. You are a lady. What do you think you are doing? Perhaps your misfortune was brought on by the fact that your father had evaded tax and earned unconscientious money. It’s karma, as they say in Buddhism. So it’s inevitable that your family is experiencing bad luck right now.” With a bad feeling in her heart, she jogged over quickly. “Look at yourself, Miss Luo, just falling onto the ground oh so casually. You’ve affected the others who are walking around and the other patrons of this restaurant. How embarrassing is that? Gu Shishi was about to break into cold sweat. The boss’s temper had been odd as of late. No way would she let that happen! She didn’t care what kind of misfortunate event had happened to whom, but none of them had anything to do with him!
