Chapter 1159 Young Master Yang: He Chen, you're a dog!

Tomboy Xu Lin wanted to keep laughing it off, but when He Chen looked at him like that, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't say what he was going to say. He suddenly panicked.

It's that feeling of having He Chen suddenly see and reveal the most secret corner of your heart that you wouldn't normally dare to look at.

never mind!

Oranges are still the most important thing!

Wang Ying, I'm so sorry.

She really didn't want her secret to be revealed in public.

So she chose to keep her head down and eat silently.

She has a brain too, and this time she went from instinctively feeling something was wrong to figuring out why He Chen said that.

The tree demon in the movie A Chinese Ghost Story is androgynous... He Chen really knows too much.

Horror!
No wonder even someone as powerful as Xiao Qianxi and Wang Ying, the young lady of Xicheng, could eliminate one after another.

"Wang Ying, this is the person you told us to get along with." Yang Cheng finally snapped out of his daze, glanced at Wang Ying to indicate that he wanted to listen to her but couldn't, because He Chen was being too unreasonable, and then looked at He Chen.

"Did we eat your rice? What right do you have to mock Wang Ying like this?"

"That's obvious!" He Chen laughed. "Of course you're eating our rice. Not just me, anyone has the right to mock your wasteful food and class-based fastidiousness!"

"Yang Cheng, stop talking, let's go!" Wang Ying's expression changed again. Seeing that Yang Cheng was about to argue, she quickly reached out and pulled Yang Cheng out, not letting Yang Cheng respond to He Chen's words at all.

Too poisonous!
He Chen is really ruthless!
Every word seemed poisoned; they were all too dangerous.

Just like when she was criticized for her class-based fastidiousness, He Chen's retort to Yang Cheng clearly emphasized who the real creator of rice was and who the real rat was.

This is just too much!

Can't we just have a proper conversation?
He Chen came out with a stance first, and a frightening one at that—a class stance. What the hell is He Chen trying to do?

We can't stay any longer; we must leave immediately, not a moment can be wasted.

Otherwise, she seriously suspected that He Chen would repeat the scene from "Dream of the Red Chamber" where Jia Baoyu persuades Miaoyu, and deliver another suggestive scene.

Putting everything else aside, she could already picture He Chen reciting the poem about the giant rat from the Book of Songs.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain to her childhood sweetheart, even as she was in a hurry to leave: "Yang Cheng, why did you have to provoke He Chen!"
Yes!
I'm very happy that you stood up for me like this.

But I don't like the way you talk!

Why bring up something like "eating your rice"? It gives He Chen a handle to attack you!
It's really bad that we waste food, especially given our social standing; it's easy for people to make assumptions about us.

However, she certainly couldn't bring herself to say such a thing.

Moreover, she understood that "childhood sweetheart" was just a convenient phrase. After all, a childhood sweetheart could be good at indulging in pleasure and chasing girls all day, but it was still a bit difficult for him to understand He Chen's subtle and sarcastic remarks so easily.

He could only see the surface. It was perfectly normal for He Chen to mock her for wasting food and casually say something like "I'll eat your rice."

He Chen watched as Wang Ying pulled Yang Cheng away, and didn't think it was appropriate to pursue them relentlessly.

Don't pursue a desperate enemy.

It was because of the mythical beast.

Harmony is the most precious thing!

But after being pulled a few steps by his childhood sweetheart Wang Ying, Yang Cheng stopped and didn't move.

What an international joke!
Would Yang Cheng, the young master, be scared away by a nobody?
There must really be such an amazing person in Beijing.

But it's definitely not He Chen!
Childhood sweethearts are really something, boosting others' morale while diminishing their own. "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill." Yang Cheng shook off Wang Ying's hand and looked back at He Chen: "Are we the only ones wasting food?"
Don't you waste any of it?
I don't believe you eat every last drop of food every day!
"You'd better lick the plate clean for me!"

"Yang Cheng!" Wang Ying didn't expect Yang Cheng to still challenge He Chen, and that his first words were so humiliating, treating He Chen like a dog.

Yes!
She usually treats the tomboyish Xu Lin like a pet, but it's a friendly way of expressing it, unlike the confrontational way Yang Cheng and He Chen are.

Previously, Yang Cheng gave Xie Qiao a blue rose, and she accepted a red rose from Liu Xing. She was helping Liu Xing, who also had a crush on his childhood sweetheart, out of a predicament. When Yang Cheng asked her why she wanted it, she blurted out that she was giving it to her pet.

Back in the dormitory, she gave the rose to Xu Lin. When Xu Lin came over affectionately, she asked him if he had washed his hands and asked him to stand a meter away from her to talk.

Every move and word she makes shows that she treats Xu Lin like a pet from the bottom of her heart. As for whether he is a dog or a cat, that depends on what she likes.

So normally, she wouldn't think there's anything wrong with the "childhood sweetheart" thing, and might even quietly watch her childhood sweetheart speak so sharply and imposingly.

But now she only feels worried and uneasy.

He Chen is not like Xu Lin, nor like those other ordinary people who are treated like dogs and directly called dogs, unable to fight back, and can only accept wagging their tails at them.

He Chen is in real danger.

Needless to say, her family is a different story.

Even someone like Yang Cheng felt somewhat threatening, so she genuinely didn't want her childhood sweetheart to face off against He Chen.

In the original storyline, after her family collapsed, she dared to express her love for her childhood sweetheart, and he actually reciprocated in some way.

But she very rationally cut off their contact directly, and they simply parted ways.

Yang Cheng, her childhood sweetheart, made the same choice.

Without him!

With their backgrounds, everything about them is preordained, and they have absolutely no say in the choices they make at crucial junctures in their lives.

Because apart from their family background, they really have nothing, and they can't rely on themselves. In order to continue enjoying a luxurious life, they have no choice but to give up their freedom.

Wang Ying is unaware that her family will soon decline, thus losing the chance to love her childhood sweetheart.

But now she knows that if her childhood sweetheart insists on getting involved with the wicked He Chen, and something goes wrong, his family will suffer, and she and her childhood sweetheart will be unable to be together.

This is a very harsh truth!
They must be a good match in terms of social standing and economic status.

If one party falls out of favor, the other party, even if she strongly insists on marrying him and doesn't mind his family background, will not be able to do so.

Because her parents, her uncles, and all her relatives would strongly oppose it, even her childhood sweetheart's parents would object.

It's simple: once they agree, her angry family will definitely retaliate against them.

After all, if a powerful alliance can't be formed and it even becomes a burden, then don't blame us for taking drastic measures.

We're all insiders, and we all know how to behave gracefully.

Because if you are not dignified, others will actually force you to be dignified.

"How can this be the same? Are you trying to be extreme with me?" He Chen mocked, "No wonder they say how to deal with good words and good deeds is to have your subordinates carry them out 200%."

You certainly come from a family with a strong scholarly tradition!

"..." Wang Ying was stunned.

How can every single sentence be so terrifying!

It just so happens that these were all casual remarks made by childhood sweethearts, and He Chen immediately refuted and countered them with such terrifying, insightful words.
