Tian Qisong's Proposition

"Don't think like that, Ziyi"

"Do not ever think this is only your fight. Yes-, it might be your fight. But we as your friend, we would love to join the fight and we would drag our parents along. You can't stop us even if you want." Han Meirong firmly said but she then softly chuckle at her own statement.

"Yes. Let them see how we use our parents to solve our problems. Show to them what parents' true duty. After listen to what you said, I also angry with what that Tian Qisong and your brother said. What is wrong with us relying on our parent? We are minors, of course we are going to rely on our parents to solve our problem. We are not that wise yet, what if something happen due to our rash decision."

"My aunt said even when we become adult later, we can always ask for help from our parents and the others in the family. As long as they afford to, they would be always there for us. Isn't that a family?"

"And I think it is never a wrong thing to sometimes rely on someone if you can't do it alone. I can't wait for when they fall down to the ground with their nonsense philosophy!"

Fang Peizhi's passionate remark silenced everyone. They have a short silence before they laughed hard.

"What was that? Both of you-So overbearing!" An Huiyin wiped her tears of laugh.

"What?! I just want to let him know what parents would do to protect their children. Aren't parents should be like that?? Unlike what he said about Aunt Chen, framing her for being overbearing and be the stimulant of the affair, where in fact there was another reason-" her nonchalantly talk stopped when Da Chunhao's elbow hit hers.

"Sorry, Ziyi." Fang Peizhi apologized when she realized she was too outspoken.

Chen Ziyi just smiled and did not refute anything. She was not going to deny any story that her friends heard from their parents or confirm the validity of the truth.

For her part, although she decided to not bother much on keeping secret about her family affair, she still felt embarrassed for that embarrassing side of her life and the fight that happened at the pathway at FuGui just now was a true show of her poor state without any filters.

With the fact that her friends were actually had knowledge about her issue, it made her more distress. And now her friends wanting to help her solving the issue truly made her feel bad.

With her still thinking of how unsettled she felt about her deepest side that she had always wanted to keep hidden in her past life had been exposed, Han Meirong misunderstood her, worried that Chen Ziyi would not agreed with their arrangement on how to solve the issue.

She then glanced sideway to Ren Linna pleading with her eyes to help them persuade Chen Ziyi.

Ren Linna caught that look and coughed, wetting her throat.

In Chenhe, Ren Linna was always their a must-option whenever they need a spokesperson to persuade someone of their behalf. Previously, they had few times when they felt tired of their school works and need more time to catch their breathe, so they asked her to speak to their teachers on their behalf and she always win the negotiation.

Ren Linna was about to speak but Chen Ziyi smiled with her teasing eyes before she agreed.

"I'll be totally feel bad for this for my whole life. But I agree with whatever you want to say."

When Ren Linna was sorting her words to persuade Chen Ziyi, at the same time, Chen Ziyi had recalled what the girl from her past life asked her at that time.

~"Are you really going to give in to everything that happen to you just like that? Give up and forget? I didn't you are so mellow! Here I am giving you a second chance, you just have to take it and make it work. Make a different choice that better than what you have done in this life"~

~"When someone offer you a hand, accept it. Just take the kind hand and remember how warm that hand. And of course, appreciate the warmth and repay them back. Tsk I don't need to teach you about repay back what you owed right"~

"I did not say anything yet." Ren Linna was upset that Chen Ziyi cut her off.

"No need. you always win anyway," Chen Ziyi said with a pouting look. The exchange between her and Ren Linna was a funny scene that they all laughed hard later on.

Chen Ziyi then turned to Fu Xingjie with an apologetic look. She had already guessed what was Fu Xingjie worried about when he looked at them. His worried face was obvious when he was frowning hard after he watched the fight video.

"Brother Xingjie, I am truly sorry for troubling you. After we managed to do our part, I will try to persuade my mother to not make it awkward between our parents. You don't need to fret so much. It's not like it was your fault that we had a fight, right?" Chen Ziyi said with a short bow to him.

"In truth, I'm the one who feel so guilty for causing such scene at your work place., and for letting us to meet each other like that." Flushed, Chen Ziyi was to embarrassed to look at Fu Xingjie, so she lowered her gaze to the floor.

"Yes. We too are sorry for troubling you, brother Xing. We do really hope that you could somehow later help us in our revenge against those Blue West's young masters." Lin Chao-xing also bowed to him, cutting him from rejecting her initiative to execute the plan. They need him to act as the spokesperson of the fight episode as he was the place's person-in-charge at that time.

The others also later realized what was Lin Chao-xing tried to do, so they also instinctively bowed and then looked at him with their pleading eyes. Not comfortable with so many pleading eyes, he sighed and agreed with them.

They then cheered for their successful first step. They even gave the revenge mission a name and it later made both Fu Xingjie and Chen Ziyi awkward.

Chen Ziyi who still had her twenty five year old woman's mind made her could not help but felt cringed. There was silence from Chen Ziyi but she later ignored the childishness she felt. Well, she was still a child.

Fu Xingjie on the other hand was comforted by his assistant. The whole idea to involve himself in a children revenge fight already made him distressed and questioned himself.

However, thinking that it might help him gained favor from Chen Rumin which later could save him from his father's wrath, he decided to follow the kids arrangement.

When they were on their way to walk out of the FuGui, a figure greeted Chen Ziyi sight at the corridor. Tian Qisong was standing, leaning his tall frame at the wall, one hand at his pocket, and another hand was holding his phone that his eyes paid attention fully to. Because Tian Qisong was looking at his phone, Chen Ziyi didn't know what he was doing there or who was he waiting for.

Chen Ziyi was going to ignore him and walked past him, but Tian Qisong had already looked up from his phone and turned his gaze to her. He did not seemed wanted to approach her but instead stay still at his position but very laidback, waiting for her to come to him.

He wore an unreadable smile on his face but an unease feeling already slowly appeared in her heart. Chen Ziyi raised her brow, not speaking any word, only by her expression implying 'what?'. As he could understand that eye interaction, he too not speaking any words but instead showed her his phone.

There was a picture of Chen Ziyi with Fu Xingjie standing close facing each other and no other people in the picture.

Chen Ziyi frowned hard looking at the picture. The picture's wicked angle can make other people misunderstand of the situation. She was just fifteen years old girl and Fu Xingjie was a man in twenties. The picture can ruin both her and Fu Xingjie.

"Are you threatening me?" Hearing that, Tian Qisong gave a smug smile.

"I will not get into your way. Although I am not sure yet how you are going to get back at us, and whether your friends capable to do that as what they said but leave me alone from that. If my grandfather or my father called me for this issue, you should know already what I will do, right?" Ignoring Chen Ziyi's question, he gave his proposition to her.

Chen Ziyi fell silent. Her heart felt twinge at his proposition. She began to consider the offer. She did not dare to ignore what Tian Qisong had against her.

She still have long way to go to live this life. She can't take risk by rejecting Tian Qisong's threat because it will undoubtedly affect her life. In addition, this is not about her only.
