Empty Promises: The CEO Cunning Bride

Feng Huan didn't look up at her, instead, he rolled his arm to get rid of her hands.

"Hmm~, Zhao Fan, did your attempt to catch Lu Weisheng not work out?" Xiong Jingfei asked, adding fuel to the crazy fire that Zhao Fan was desperately trying to put out.

"It's none of your business!" Zhao Fan hissed, then she stopped for a second to think and her complex turned bright red. She pointed a trembling finger filled with anger at Xiong Jingfei. "You… It was you!"

Xiong Jingfei innocently shrugged her shoulders, "What are you accusing me of this time?"

"Liar! You know!" Zhao Fan shouted, causing everyone's attention to be on them. She would never forget the humiliation that was given to her by the Lu's brothers! "Huan, you have to believe what I'm going to tell you! She and Lu Weisheng were on this together. They were trying to break us apart for what we did to her in the past."

"A love triangle?"

"Is he cheating on her with that woman?"

"Hurry, let's take a video!"

The peaceful café became swarmed with people's whispers and accusations.

"What is there to break when it was broken from the start? If I really wanted to destroy your relationship, I don't even need to do much." Xiong Jingfei remained calm since she was used to seeing Zhao Fan's tantrum. It wasn't anything new to see. "Shouldn't there be something else you should be more worried about?"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Fan wasn't sure what it was that Xiong Jingfei knew for her to be this confident. She fumed, "Also, that something that I should be worried about is all because of you! My father's company-!"

"Your father's company?" Feng Huan's interest was finally caught by Zhao Fan's unfinished sentence. Did Xiong Jingfei proceed with her next plan without letting him in?

"One thing at a time." Xiong Jingfei slightly tilted her head to the side with a smug smile. "Your father's company going bankrupt is not my fault. It was his own fault for trying to cheat Lu Xuefeng's money. Did you think he would allow his precious brother be with the daughter of a backstabber?"

"It's all a lie!" Zhao Fan denied. "My father will never do such a thing!"

"Is that the same statement you made when you went before Lu Xuefeng about your father?" Xiong Jingfei shook her head. Lu Xuefeng is someone who doesn't like to talk to those with no evidence to back up their claim, and Lu Weisheng wasn't going to go up against his brother for Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan's father remained the same as he was in the past. Ready to use anyone or anything for his own selfish gain, and that's how he met his ending in the past. Unfortunately for him it will be the same again.

Like father, like daughter. 

Zhao Fan, who wanted everything but will end up with nothing. The punishment worthy for her is to lose everything. 

Every. Single. Things. 

Including Feng Huan, who she is clinging onto so dearly as her last straw. But that's if Feng Huan doesn't soften his heart for her. Xiong Jingfei looked away from Zhao Fan to Feng Huan. Let's see what choice you will make this time. Should I push it a little more? 

"Oh, onto the next thing, should we go back… Hmm… How about from the very beginning on how you got Feng Huan?" Xiong Jingfei smiled, tapping her fingers on the table. "How far did you want me to go back? Text message? Hotel room? Or…" .

Zhao Fan's eyes flared up in comparison to her humiliation from the Lu's brothers. This was something she would rather die with than let it be revealed! She immediately lunges for Xiong Jingfei's throat, "I'll kill you if you don't stop spouting nonsense! Why don't I make sure this time you stay as a mute forever!?"

In an instant, it became utter chaos inside the café as Xiong Jingfei's chair tilted over with Zhao Fan flying on top of her. It was too sudden for anyone to have a reaction in time to stop Zhao Fan, who finally snapped. She tightly grabbed hold of Xiong Jingfei's neck along with her ruby-colored nails digging into her skin.

"Zhao… Fan…!" Xiong Jingfei tried to ungrasp Zhao Fan's claw around her neck. "Crazy-!"

"Die!" Zhao Fan screamed. "Why don't you just disappear from my life!?"

"Stop!" Feng Huan forcefully pulled Zhao Fan off Xiong Jingfei. "Stop all of this already!"

Xiong Jingfei gasped for air while coughing violently. She could sense Zhao Fan's intent to have her dead, but luckily, Feng Huan managed to react in time.

Feng Huan didn't bother to check on Zhao Fan after she lost her balance and slammed into one of the tables. She was beyond livid at this point that he chose Xiong Jingfei over her! She had known him since they were kids! They were friends, family, and lovers at one point!

"Hah! I am crazy!" Zhao Fan screamed, hitting the table with her palms and on her nails were faint traces of blood. She was going to lose everything, but in the end, she realized the one person she didn't want to lose was Feng Huan. "Why do you love her and not me? If she disappeared, you would come back and love me! It's all because of her-!"

"That's not true." Feng Huan sounded exhausted. Everything Zhao Fan was doing and saying was like a repeat of that night when she secretly came to see him at that restaurant. "Fan, we were a mistake from the very beginning."

Zhao Fan shut her mouth and stopped her temper tantrum after hearing the cry in his voice. He was tired of her? No matter what she did or said in the past he will always take it in and forgive her. She could feel that there was a crack in that unconditional forgiveness that he had always given her.

"Are you alright?" Feng Huan helped Xiong Jingfei stand up until he noticed her bloody fingertips. "You're bleeding!"

Now it made sense to Xiong Jingfei why she felt a sting on her neck.

"Let's get you to a hospital."

No! Xiong Jingfei touched her throat. No… She tried to tell him again, but nothing came out.. She panicked and held onto her throat to try again, but again, a simple word like no wouldn't come out.
