Chapter 179: Overlapping Past (3)

Under Shao Jingfei's provocation, Shao Qian soon lost his temper and stood up angrily. "How dare a wild child like you talk so high and mighty while living under our family's mercy?! Even a dog would think twice before biting the owner who bit their owner's hand!"

"Who asks for your family's help? I always said I never need your so-called wealth and reputation. I already moved out of that household and wouldn't have anything to do with your family anymore, except for work-related cases."

"See? In the end, you are still leeching on our family!"

"Are your eyes only there for decorations? Have you seen me begging to be employed at the company? Even your uncle begged me for it; when does it become your turn to criticize his decision? You aren't even contributing anything and only live every day wasting money, yet you brag about your family name as if everyone owes you anything. Once a loser will always be a loser!" Shao Jingfei said with a degrading expression. 

Shao Qian's face reddened with shame and fury, being called out like that in front of Li Chunhua. He couldn't stand Shao Jingfei's humiliation anymore and moved forward to clench on his collar, causing Li Chunhua to gasp.

However, Shao Jingfei wasn't a pushover either. As soon as he detected an incoming attack from his cousin, he quickly reacted and caught that chubby hand in his and gave it a firm squeeze.

"Ugh!" Shao Qian yelped and tried to land a punch on Shao Jingfei's face in his fluster. 

SMACK!

Li Chunhua couldn't help but gasp again, seeing the spectacle before her. It wasn't even a surprise attack or anything, but Shao Jingfei received his cousin's punch directly and even had leisure time to laugh at him. He appeared like a crazy person right now.

"Hahahaha, not only you are a loser, even the way you throw a punch is like a sissy!" Shao Jingfei's eyes narrowed down dangerously as his gaze darkened. "You have punched me, so you shouldn't have any complaints if I do the same back at you, right?"

Shao Qian didn't have any time to retort because a powerful fist had landed on his jaw and sent him tumbling to the ground. 

Li Chunhua could only stare in awe as the two boys were fighting with each other, forgetting about her existence. The way Shao Jingfei did that uppercut was simply satisfying because after that attack, Shao Qian passed out and didn't show any sign of moving. He just laid down there on the floor motionless.

"Tsk, you don't even have any fighting skill, but you dare to go against this young master. Behold, my thousand blade's attack!" Shao Jingfei made a funny pose as he talked to his unconscious person on the floor. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but he paid it no heed.

Li Chunhua initially thought that he was pretty cool because he could out-power Shao Qian despite his short stature, but those silly poses he just did just awoke her from her daydream.

'You really can't judge a book by its cover. First, the quiet and loner Dai Zhiqiang was now the fun-loving and silly Shao Jingfei. Is every boy secretly learning martial arts or something?' Li Chunhua thought inwardly. 

Looking at Shao Qian's state on the floor, she prayed inwardly that Shao Jingfei would be gentleman enough not to hit girls or she would be dead. After all, this mess happened because she was trying to dig for more information about him.

"Even when he passed out, he still took up too much space. I can't have my customers seeing this." Shao Jingfei said grudgefully while nudging Shao Qian's back with his feet with a disgusted look on his face, as though he was looking at a piece of trash.

Li Chunhua felt awkward now being in the same space as him. She wanted nothing more than to go home and play with her phone game again. Coming here was a mistake. 

"I should go now. I will leave the money here, okay? Goodbye." Li Chunhua said while putting the money on top of the table, fully intending to leave, but Shao Jingfei's call was enough to stop her in her tracks.

"Why did you leave? You haven't even played with the kitties yet because of this guy's interruption."

"No, I think I'm fine now."

Shao Jingfei smiled brightly. "Ah, perhaps you were charmed by my heroic deeds earlier? Are you falling for me now?"

"No, I just want to go home." Li Chunhua clutched the strap of her bag and subtly slid to the side, trying to walk around the two boys.

Shao Jingfei stepped on her way to block her. He was pretty short, only slightly taller than Li Chunhua, so he shouldn't pose much threat to her. However, she felt pressured when he scanned her face with an inquisitive gaze.

"You are leaving without even drinking your coffee? And I even put so much effort into making it. I recently learned how to make latte art, you know?" Shao Jingfei said with a disappointing note.

"Sorry, maybe next time." 

"Hmm? You acted fishier than fish in the water tank right now. Are you hiding something?"

"No, I'm not. You are overthinking it."

Shao Jingfei stared at her fidgety figure and couldn't help but snort in amusement. "Pfft, you should have seen your face! It's hilarious!"

Li Chunhua was stunned because he just laughed for no reason. "What's so funny?"

"Nah, I just think you are an interesting girl, that's all. You acted bossy and mean, yet you didn't even dare to look me in the eye after knowing my secret. What? Do you think I will knock you out like I did to the catfish?"

Li Chunhua jolted at the mention of 'knock you out'. She had to admit that she was a bit intimidated by Shao Jingfei. 

Unlike Dai Zhiqiang, who clearly couldn't lay a finger on her, Shao Jingfei was more unpredictable. He might be Li Caiyi's fan, but who knows what he would do to her if she provoked him too much? 

He was mean enough to use cats to attack her. Li Chunhua wouldn't be surprised if he could do much worse than that. 

"Looking at you, I can already guess what happened. So, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"....You can rest assured. I won't tell anyone about your secret."

"Wro~ong answer! Try again," Shao Jingfei said with a smile, but that smile didn't reach his eyes.

Li Chunhua tried to come up with another response, but except for promising she wouldn't tell a single soul about it, she did not know what he expected her to say.

Noticing her bewilderment, Shao Jingfei sighed in exasperation. "Do you even need me to spell this for you? This is why you shouldn't stick your nose to a place you shouldn't. Now that you know everything, you want to pretend nothing happened and be on your way?"

"W-what do you want, then? I promised I won't tell anyone about it, didn't I?" Li Chunhua said vigilantly.

"You are a cunning girl, so leaving my secret in your hand made me anxious."

"I won't tell anyone. I'm not that stupid to cross against a big family like Shao. My life is precious.."

Shao Jingfei's face darkened upon hearing that, and a mirthless laugh came out of his mouth. "Did you say that because you think of me as an embarrassment for the Shao family? Do you find me disgusting now?"
