She Jiaxin added fuel to the fire, saying, "If I didn't say anything, your friend would have been ruined by him, okay?"
Chi Cheng was frightened by what she said. As long as he didn't go too far, he also wanted to teach that scumbag who had his eyes on Lin Shan a lesson.
After discussing it for a while, the two sent She Jiaxin to buy the props.
Not long after Chi Cheng returned, the Poison King came back with Lin Shan in his arms. Lin Shan was flushed and slightly out of breath from jumping around. David, on the other hand, remained calm. If Chi Cheng hadn't seen the video, he would have found it hard to believe that David could be such a scumbag.
Chi Cheng took the opportunity to whisper to Lin Shan, "Did you guys make home run?"
Lin Shan smiled and said, "Hey, it's not that fast."
Chi Cheng teased her, "You're not pretending to be reserved."
Lin Shan then stuck out her tongue, "I've been on my period lately."
Chi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking about it, he sent Lin Shan a private WeChat message, asking her if she knew about David's past romantic relationships.
Lin Shan complained that he was being secretive, even sending WeChat messages while sitting next to her. She said she knew David must have had several exes, but she was genuinely happy with him, as he would send her a short video every morning to say good morning.
Chi Cheng curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
After a while, he started trying to get information out of the Poison King. Chi Cheng licked his lips and gestured to Lin Shan.
Ask him how it tasted?
Lin Shan introduced Chi Cheng to the Poison King as a high school classmate, and the Poison King looked at him with some suspicion.
Chi Cheng laughed and said that Lin Shan was too embarrassed to say it, but actually the two of them had been together in high school, but Lin Shan broke up with him after he got sick once.
After that, they each went their own way.
The Poison King looked at Chi Cheng with a somewhat subtle expression, not expecting that Chi Cheng, with such a handsome appearance, would be just like him.
He asked Chi Cheng in a low voice, "What illness?"
Chi Cheng shrugged. "Sharp."
Chi Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I didn't give it to Lin Shan. After all these years, I would never harm her."
The drug king originally thought he had found a decent woman, but now that he saw Lin Shan might also be a slut, his interest waned considerably, and his eyes began to wander around.
Chi Cheng greeted them, "My girl will be here soon."
Lin Shan asked him curiously, "Didn't you say she went back to school?"
Chi Cheng didn't tell her in detail where she was going back, and gave her a vague answer, "She finished her business early and came over to play."
Soon, She Jiaxin arrived, and Chi Chengxu put his arm around her shoulder and introduced her to them.
“Shirley.”
She Jiaxin had obviously taken off her coat and changed into a pink shawl, but the neckline of her slip dress was extremely low.
At first, the Poison King didn't recognize her, until She Jiaxin looked at him and deliberately changed his expression, his eyes darting away.
The Poison King then remembered that they had fought before.
If She Jiaxin's attitude towards him was proactive and ambiguous, coupled with Chi Cheng's previous words, the Poison King might have already become suspicious.
However, She Jiaxin didn't even look at him, pretending not to know him at all, which made the drug king think that She Jiaxin had just accidentally messed up.
He found it amusing but didn't expose her. He tried to touch She Jiaxin with his leg from below, but She Jiaxin dodged and glared at him.
Soon, She Jiaxin couldn't hold back any longer and sent a WeChat message to the drug kingpin.
Shirley: Poison King, please pretend you don't know me, okay? Please don't tell me this is the fiancé my dad found for me.
Poison King: Well, that depends on your performance.
Shirley: How should I behave?
Poison King: Find an opportunity to come out.
After a while, She Jiaxin whispered to Chi Cheng that she was going to the restroom.
Soon after, the drug king also said he was going to smoke.
The two left one after the other, leaving Lin Shan completely unaware. Seeing her bored, Chi Cheng asked, "Want me to jump around with you?"
Lin Shan looked at him with disdain, "Can't you even manage without jumping around for so long?"
Chi Cheng smiled and said, "It's better than David, isn't it?"
She Jiaxin frantically told the drug kingpin what had happened. She almost cried as she spoke, explaining that she had contracted gonorrhea a few months ago, and when her father found out, he almost broke her legs. He told her to behave herself and wouldn't let her go abroad, so he arranged an engagement with Chi Cheng, hoping for a family alliance through marriage.
Seeing that she genuinely didn't know, the Poison King teased her, "How could you be so careless? Which street is so unlucky that you didn't even tell him to wear it?"
She Jiaxin sounded even more aggrieved, wiping her tears on his body.
The drug kingpin had a lot of experience and originally had no interest in someone like She Jiaxin, but now she's someone else's fiancée, and coincidentally, she's the fiancée of Lin Shan's friend.
Thinking about it this way is much more exciting.
Especially since She Jiaxin hasn't appeared in public for a long time, she seems to have reformed.
He no longer doubted Chi Cheng. Since he was engaged to She Jiaxin's family, he must be a rich young master. It's not surprising that he was so wild and had a history of illness.
More importantly, Chi Cheng himself admitted that Lin Shan had been with him. This complicated relationship made him feel even more taboo, as if it involved an exchange.
The Poison King's attempt to comfort her was excessive, and She Jiaxin scolded him for being annoying while wiping away her tears.
She pretended to push him away, saying, "Don't let my boyfriend see this."
She Jiaxin finished her performance and sent Chi Cheng a WeChat message: "She's taken the bait."
Chi Cheng glanced at his phone in the dance floor and curled his lips into a smile.
The author has something to say: This is a real case I saw yesterday, adapted slightly.
I won't write the source.
I've rethought it, and those who have seen it before, forget about it!
I'm not changing this version no matter what.
As compensation, I'll send you 30 small red envelopes!
Don't worry, there will be an update tonight.
Chapter 32
Just as Chi Cheng was about to put his phone away, She Jiaxin's WeChat message came in.
The next message was Shi Ling's WeChat.
Although Shi Ling didn't contact him all day, they usually had a fixed WeChat time before bed. Since he hadn't contacted her at all today, Shi Ling said that she was going to sleep.
Chi Cheng casually replied with a "goodnight," and Lin Shan, who had been jumping around for a while, was called back to her seat by Chi Cheng.
She Jiaxin and the "Drug King" still acted as if they didn't know each other at all, sitting opposite each other and playing on their phones.
In fact, Charmaine Sheh had already sent WeChat messages to the drug kingpin, saying some things to warm him up.
As soon as the four of them sat down, She Jiaxin answered the phone.
She told Chi Cheng in a coquettish tone that her father had sent a driver to pick her up today, and that she had to leave first.
He apologized to everyone again.
The Poison King looked up at her, and She Jiaxin gave him a flirtatious wink when the others weren't looking.
She Jiaxin picked up her wine glass and drank it as punishment before getting up to leave.
Chi Cheng pressed her hand down, his smile carrying a strong hint of meaning, "Wait a minute."
Chi Cheng went all out with his act, pulling She Jiaxin over in front of Lin Shan and the Poison King.
He reached out and cupped her face behind her hair, then pressed his lips to her forehead.
Actually, his hand was blocking their view, and her hair was covering half of her face, so his lips didn't touch her at all.
However, she did put on a very gentle expression on her face.
She Jiaxin covered her face and shook his hand like a little girl, "I'm leaving."
Chi Cheng hummed in agreement. "Tell me when you get home."
She Jiaxin walked away with an electric aura. Chi Cheng observed the Poison King's expression and, looking at She Jiaxin's back, became even more restless.
Chi Cheng's phone vibrated in his pocket; Shi Ling had sent him another WeChat message.
Shi Ling: Have you arrived in Hong Kong yet?
Normally, when they say goodnight, Chi Cheng would call Shi Ling while playing games and chatting. He rarely gave a perfunctory goodnight like he did today.
Moreover, according to this schedule, he is already in Hong Kong waiting to take the IELTS test tomorrow, and hasn't had a chance to tell Shi Ling that he plans not to take the test tomorrow.
Chi Cheng was a little unsure how to respond to her.
He thought for a moment and didn't reply immediately, but Shi Ling called him soon after.
Chi Cheng simply waved his phone at them. They couldn't see the screen clearly, but they could see that a call was coming in.
Chi Cheng told Lin Shan and the drug kingpin, "My mom, I'm about to go home."
He hung up the phone.
The Poison King feigned an attempt to persuade him to stay, asking, "What time is it?"
Chi Cheng said, "Next time."
He put his arm around his shoulder and whispered, "Take me along sometime."
Chi Cheng gave him a knowing look.
The Poison King understood immediately.
After that, Chi Cheng didn't care what excuse the Poison King used to break up with Lin Shan. He had been in the business for so many years, and if he couldn't get rid of this, he would have wasted his life.
He wasn't worried about Lin Shan. The drug king was clearly not interested in her tonight. He had just managed to coax a decent woman a few days ago, but tonight, he gave himself away as soon as he smelled the scent of She Jiaxin.
Chi Cheng found a place near the hotel where they had agreed to meet and waited for She Jiaxin's message.
