BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77 - Are You Mocking Me?
"At the end of this round of swimming competition," The man stared at the anxious faces of everyone. "CEO Li won Miss Yang by two seconds," The man who put everyone in suspense announced excitedly. "Damn it," Yang Zi exclaimed angrily as she hit the water fiercely. She angrily stepped out of the pool with the aid of Jiu, who pulled her out. Although she knew that it was a competition she couldn\'t control herself from getting angry. She really wanted to win the first position.
Cheers of happiness erupted when the winner was announced. Although Yang Zi did not beat Yifeng, those who were rooting for her continued to cheer her. Though she did not win CEO Li, she won the admiration of so many people. Everyone, including the guys who thought it was a mockery to them for Yang Zi to be competing with them, could not help but applaud her when they saw how good she was. They were so happy that they did not compete against her, knowing very well that they would have lost to her. Everyone could not help but wonder how many sports Yang Zi had taken part in when she was in school.
"Congratulations Miss Yang, you won my admiration yet again," Su Jin applauded immediately as she sat down to dry herself up.
"Are you mocking me right now Director Su? I would have felt better if you laughed at my poor skill rather than hearing your compliments when you know that I lost to your friend," Yang Zi said, still feeling furious. Immediately after Yang Zi and Li Yifeng\'s last round was over, the remaining two groups which did not take part with them competed against each other. Everyone was in front of the enormous swimming pool watching the match, so they did not hear Yang Zi speak rudely to their director.
"I mocked you? Of course not," Su Jin replied as he sat down beside her. Yang Zi turned and glared at him when she heard his words of denial.
"If your words weren\'t that of mockery, then what?" Yang Zi asked as she stopped drying her hair and focused her attention on him.
"My words were that of admiration because you performed outstandingly well. For Feng to have beat you by a few seconds means that you must have won four to five medals in swimming when you were in school. Even I, have not got so close to winning Feng before in swimming, so that means you really performed well. To have come that far, you deserve to be congratulated a million times," Su Jin said, smiling.
"Really? Is he that good in sports? I didn\'t know since I haven\'t seen him swim before," Yang Zi said, looking away.
"Yes, he is. There are a lot of things you don\'t know about him. He wasn\'t always mean like he is right now. I guess he behaves this way in order to cover up his pain. I am sure you will see him in a different dimension if you get to know him more than you do. You will know that his pains run deeper than you think," Su Jin said, his smile instantly disappearing from his handsome face.
"I know almost everything about him so what more is left that I don\'t know of? Does he have an hidden child or wife that I don\'t know of?" Yang Zi who knew that that wasn\'t what Su Jin meant asked with a fake smile on her face. She didn\'t want to think deep into his words since she would end up thinking about her tragic past.
"What! No!" Su Jin exclaimed immediately. He knew she understood what he meant but was only pretending not to so he won\'t talk further.
"Miss Yang, you really have a knack for twisting someone\'s words," Su Jin said jokingly. They continued talking until the game was over. For the swimming competition for men, Yifeng\'s team took first while Yang Zi\'s team took second. All credits went to Yang Zi for her excellent performance in representing the men for her team in the last round because her team would have either taken fourth or fifth position had Yang Zi not taken it upon herself to challenge Yifeng. For the ladies Yang Zi\'s team took first, Yifeng\'s team second, and Mrs Wang\'s team third. Wen Min sang the praises of Yang Zi when the announcement of results was over. She was so proud of her idol and friend.
Yang Zi did not forget to call Yixian again to comfort and also keep him company. She still did not forget to relay her regrets of not being there to support him as his girlfriend. Deep down, as Yang Zi was consoling him, she was saying these words inwardly, "Yixian, you have seen nothing and yet you are dejected and miserable. What would you have done if I had released all your illegal activities too? This is just the beginning. My second surprise gift will arrive tomorrow\'s night," Yang Zi said maniacally with a wicked smile on her face as she dropped her phone on the table. She also called Jingxian to comfort her. She sincerely liked the young lady but it was just so unfortunate that her family was her enemy.
She was so happy to know that her enemies were suffering just like she wanted. She called Shiyi and Shui Shui to share her excitement with them. The three friends wished they were not separated by a huge distance, then they would have thrown a party to celebrate their first victory.
"Sis, just a little more scheming and I will successfully bring that man you loved and his family to their ruins. You will finally rest in peace soon," Yang Zi spoke to space as she closed her eyes. She drifted to sleep with an evil grin on her face. She was sure yet again that she would be free from her frequent nightmares that night, but she wasn\'t spared from the terrible nightmares like she thought. She only slept for three hours before she woke up because of her nightmares. She used the time she was deprived of her sleep to work on the documents her personal assistant in charge of managing all her boutiques and malls sent her. She wasn\'t always able to successfully work on them except on weekends since she was always busy during office days. She lost track of time as she worked on her computer.
Yang Zi removed her eyeglasses and stretched her body after she was through sorting out all the documents. She was so surprised when she saw that the time was 5:00 am when she checked her wristwatch. That meant she spent three hours working on the documents. She went to her wardrobe and changed into her sports clothes before she headed out for her early morning jogging. She wasn\'t surprised to see that no one was in sight at that hour. Going on a company\'s holiday was once a year activity, so nobody wanted to waste the golden opportunity they have gotten to rest to their heart\'s satisfaction. Yifeng who was watching her yet again was so relieved when she didn\'t run excessively like she did the last time. He went back into his room when he saw her enter the building.
