Chapter 155 — So Scheming, I Must Say Wu Chengtian Is a Very Scheming Man
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
But Wei Zhao had done nothing of the sort, enduring it quite naturally at the time, only to bring it up suddenly now, which was plainly revenge against him! Yet Wu Chengtian could do nothing about it, since he himself had started the second handshake. Wei Zhao had already taken a loss once and swallowed it in silence, and he was no fool to take another loss, so refusing outright with a little cold sarcasm was only normal!
In this way, although Wei Zhao exposed his conduct, he did it by borrowing the chance of the second handshake, without any air of deliberate tale-bearing at all.
"Mr Wei, you are joking, my grip may be a little heavy... I am used to it, and for a moment I failed to hold back when shaking hands with an ordinary man..." What Wu Chengtian meant was clear enough, namely that Wei Zhao was only an ordinary man who was not worthy of Sun Jingyan at all.
"Oh, so that is how it is!" Wei Zhao nodded. "It seems I misunderstood Mr Wu, and to show my apology, I have decided to shake hands with you once more!"
As he spoke, Wei Zhao took the initiative to hold out his hand.
"Hmm?" Wu Chengtian was slightly taken aback, never expecting Wei Zhao to agree to a handshake again. What game was he playing? But whatever the game, since Wei Zhao had gone so far, he could not lose face either, so he stretched out his hand and clasped it with Wei Zhao's.
"Ow..." An incomparable crushing pain shot through Wu Chengtian's hand! Looking at Wei Zhao's smiling face, Wu Chengtian knew he had been paid back by this kid!
Caught with no guard up at all, Wu Chengtian had his hand pinched by Wei Zhao and let out an instinctive cry!
For how many years his hands had never hurt like this... which was why Wu Chengtian cried out! Of course, he himself did not think so much of it, blaming the pain entirely on Wei Zhao catching him off guard with a surprise counterattack, so that with no defense prepared he had fallen into the trap and his hand hurt so badly...
Yet he never stopped to think, however hard an ordinary man squeezed, could he pinch him into such a state?
But anger had already gone to Wu Chengtian's head! He never imagined that he, the rightful heir of the Wu family's Iron Hand, would have his hand pinched by some unknown nobody! It was a downright disgrace!
Wu Chengtian was about to strike back when Wei Zhao had already let go of his hand and was looking at him with a puzzled face. "What is it? Did I hurt you? I did not use any strength at all?"
Sun Jingyan gave Wu Chengtian a rather contemptuous look. What was this supposed to be? Wei Zhao said you pinched his hand sore, and you screamed in return. Did you expect me to believe Wei Zhao pinched your hand sore too?
But who would believe it? You are the Wu family's Iron Hand, could an ordinary man pinch your hand sore? Sun Jingyan did not believe it for a moment. She felt more and more that this Wu Chengtian was utterly false. When they had little contact before, she had thought him a polite and courteous man and treated him like an elder brother, but ever since he began to pursue her, the more she looked at him the more displeasing he became.
Damn it! Wu Chengtian truly wanted to slap him across the face and beat Wei Zhao up. Was this kid not vicious beyond measure?
"Wu Chengtian, do you not feel your behavior now is no different from a clown's?" Sun Jingyan said, her delicate brows knitted as she looked at him. "If Uncle Wu knew what you have done, he would surely be very disappointed."
Scolded by Sun Jingyan until his face flushed red then white, Wu Chengtian shot Wei Zhao a hateful glare. Fine, kid, you have guts, I will remember this grudge today. A wise man does not fight a losing battle, and Sun Jingyan was clearly resentful toward him now and leaning to Wei Zhao's side, so Wu Chengtian simply stopped meddling and rose to his feet. "Sorry to have disturbed you today, another day I will play host to you both. I have business, so I will leave first..."
