The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(136-140)
Added 2024-01-21 00:00:02 +0000 UTCChapter 136: Can I Kiss Him?
Not only was Bai Junwen embarrassed to the point of feeling ashamed, but even Bai Junjun's eyes turned green! She was furious!
Lu Su was invited by Jiang Chenchen and was here to celebrate only Bai Junwen's birthday! Now, she, who was supposed to be the most dazzling presence of the night, looked like a clown, making everyone below laugh at her.
She was so angry that she almost overturned the several layers of the cake, wanting to ruin the birthday party completely!
But Lu Su put the crown back on her, making her feel balanced again. Because this crown was tailor-made for her and couldn't fit Bai Junwen's head.
This was her victory.
She was the only daughter of the Bai family who was truly cherished.
Lu Su had never encountered such a situation before and could only do this. Otherwise, both of them would be embarrassed, and everyone at the scene would witness the awkwardness.
But after experiencing all this, Bai Junwen couldn't take it anymore.
She wanted to rush off the stage. Even doing that required great courage, and she saw Jiang Chenchen's gaze from below.
Jiang Chenchen was coming towards her.
She held a rose in her hand and ascended the stage.
As long as she came over, those fierce and wild gazes couldn't overwhelm her.
That person, shining like light and strength, stood in front of her.
"This is the flower crown I'm giving you."
Jiang Chenchen raised the rose in her hand, trimmed off a section of the stem, then slightly tiptoed and inserted it diagonally into Bai Junwen's hair.
A bright flower adorned her black hair, not too eye-catching, yet it added a touch of charm.
Bai Junwen felt like crying. She didn't care about crying in front of so many people. She had never met such a good person.
Even though her expression seemed emotionless, whatever she did seemed the gentlest and noblest in her eyes. She was genuinely the best person in the world.
Lu Su leaned against the table, barely stabilizing his body. Watching this scene, his eyes flickered with an emotion that shouldn't have been there, but it surged up.
He steadied his emotions and brought the atmosphere back.
He sang a birthday song for them, and everyone celebrated together.
Bai Junjun felt that Bai Junwen looked shabby now. Even a cheap rose could be considered a treasure.
The photos and videos taken by the photographers would undoubtedly focus on her. Only her.
After that, Bai family parents and elders took the stage to speak, expressing their hopes and blessings for the future of the two children. From here on, there was no more bias.
Then came a dance.
Qu Peizhi took the opportunity for Bai Junwen and the He family to meet and greet, introducing them to each other.
Let the two children dance.
The adults all understood.
The He family elders felt that although Bai Junwen was reserved, she behaved appropriately, and her manners during the previous situation were decent. She wasn't an arrogant person, which made them feel reassured.
Because their son was more... introverted.
He Can wore thick-framed glasses and a black knit hat. He almost never spoke, appearing very restrained. Bai Junwen also didn't speak much, so the two of them just casually dealt with the situation.
Dance?
The introverted guy unexpectedly danced well, while the girl in front of him didn't know how to dance at all. It didn't matter; the song would be over soon.
...
Over there, Lu Su went to the restroom and was about to leave.
His body really couldn't take it anymore.
After taking many pills, he barely stabilized his body from collapsing.
But when he came out of the restroom, he was stopped by someone, Bai Junjun. The doll-like and cute girl was now looking at him with a flushed face and shyness.
Lu Su maintained his usual expression and politely asked, "Is there something?"
Bai Junjun took a step forward, her eyes almost greedy. "Thank you for coming to my birthday. I'm so happy. I didn't expect you to stand so close to me. You... you look really good."
Facing such a good-looking person, where could she still look at the deadbeat guy from the He family!
Lu Su felt that the girl lacked a sense of propriety, but at her young age, having such fans was normal. He took a step back to maintain a distance, still politely congratulating her, "Wish you a happy birthday. Go back and celebrate with your family and friends. I have to leave."
He was about to leave, but the girl grabbed him.
"As long as you drink this glass of wine, I won't stop you." Bai Junjun looked sincerely earnest, "Consider it fulfilling my birthday wish, okay?"
Drinking more alcohol after taking those pills was not good for his body.
But faced with such a sincere request, he couldn't easily refuse. He took the wine glass and drank it down.
With just one glass, he felt the world spinning. Bai Junjun quickly supported him, "Brother, are you okay?"
Her tone was anxious, but her eyes were excited. She hadn't expected everything they said to be true.
A single glass could actually make someone collapse.
She called her sisters hiding in the shadows to come over, and together they dragged him into a room.
"Why is he so good-looking?"
"Even better than on TV. His eyelashes are so long! Oh! And his nose is so straight!"
Several girls couldn't help taking photos.
"Can I kiss him?"
This statement made the girls taking photos stop in their tracks. They all glared and said in unison, "You? Dream on!"
Although they scolded her like that, each of them had a slight urge.
Someone knocked on the door from outside.
"Who is it?!"
"Maybe we've been out for too long. After all, Junjun, you are the star of today. Your mom might be looking for you!"
"Let's leave him here for now. We'll come back later."
Bai Junjun thought for a moment and made this decision. So, they covered Lu Su with a blanket and opened the door to leave.
Outside the door, there was no one. But they didn't think much of it, locked the door, and went back to the birthday banquet.
Lu Su's head was foggy, as if exploding. He felt uncomfortable all over, squinting one eye as if everything before him was like flames. The room was lit, and he wanted to get up, but he had no strength in his body.
He saw Jiang Chenchen coming over, calling his name and helping him up.
He reached out and took off the shawl on her shoulder, revealing fair and delicate skin. His fingertips touched it, soft as top-grade condensed fat.
But his hand was quickly pushed away.
Jiang Chenchen looked expressionless as she said, "You're running a fever. I'll take you to the hospital."
She pulled her shawl together again, preparing to carry him.
But the hand around her neck was a bit restless. The breath fell on her ear like flames, scorching hot.
"Jiang Chenchen..."
Incessant calling of her name filled his ears.
Jiang Chenchen caught his hand. "Don't move recklessly, or I won't be able to control myself from breaking your hand."
She was serious. Under the conditioned reflex of her body, such a neck-hugging action was full of danger, and she would subconsciously take action to remove the danger when feeling threatened.
And the last trace of reason remaining in Lu Su's head said to her, "Bind my hands and feet, call my agent."
If she carried him out like this, the reporters would make a fuss, causing another wave of public opinion.
But how to bind hands and feet? Jiang Chenchen looked at the long scarf from Sheng Mingsi and wondered if he would be angry if she used it for this purpose.
Chapter 137: Taking Intimate Photos
She quickly gave up on this idea; she didn't want to ruin what Sheng Mingsi gave her.
If possible, she could use something else, like the towels in the hotel bathroom.
But...
"Why do I need to tie your hands and feet?"
She didn't quite understand the meaning behind this statement.
Lu Su was let down on the bed by her, and as she leaned in to ask, her breath became chaotic. He reached out, grabbing her wrist, "Because... I can't resist the urge to get close to you like this."
Then, after getting close, Jiang Chenchen wouldn't be able to resist breaking his wrist.
Explaining this, she understood.
So, she went to get a towel from the bathroom to tie his hands.
"The phone is in my right pocket."
Face recognition unlocked the phone, and Jiang Chenchen called the assistant as he instructed. The assistant had been waiting outside the hotel door, but there was no answer.
Assistant Xiaochen was originally waiting outside the hotel but was summoned by a few people to a dark alley.
"What's going on? You come to such a luxurious hotel and can't afford to pay?"
"No..."
The person in front of him patted his face, "Stop talking nonsense. Either we break one of your hands here today, or you give back the money."
"Brother, please... I really don't have any money!"
"I heard you're the assistant of the big star Lu Su. This star makes several billion, and you're not making some extra money with him? Saying you have no money, is that a joke we don't understand?"
After saying that, a kick came!
Xiaochen screamed, squatting down, and was quickly muffled.
"If we don't give you a lesson, you won't understand the seriousness of the matter!"
The leader released his hand, roughly lifting his chin, "Today, there must be an explanation here. Smart people should know what to do, or else, don't blame us for being impolite."
Xiaochen was scared, and this dark place warned him with ferocious eyes. He was at a loss.
But he did owe money, and if he didn't pay, they would really resort to violence!
What to do!?
"I really have no money. Brother Wang, what do you want to do to let me go today? Give me a day, and I will definitely repay the money tomorrow!"
"It seems you still don't understand, huh?"
Brother Wang sneered, stood up, and signaled to the others.
Then, five or six rounds of punches and kicks came down. Xiaochen kept begging, "Brother Wang, please, give me a way out. I really have no other way!"
At this moment, his phone rang.
Brother Wang signaled the others to stop.
Squatting down, he took the phone from Xiaochen's pocket.
Seeing that it was Lu Su's call, Brother Wang raised his eyebrows, looking at Xiaochen holding the phone.
"Look, isn't this your money tree? A big star's exclusive scoop is worth a lot. Use your brain. Do you really need to be short of an arm or hand?"
...
When Jiang Chenchen made the second call, Xiaochen finally answered. Although he sounded a bit strange, she didn't think much about it and asked him to come over.
Xiaochen hurriedly came over, enduring the pain. Those people were ruthless; they beat him where it couldn't be seen on the body. There was no external injury on his face, but his body was extremely painful, and he had no choice but to take risks!
Otherwise, those people could do anything!
In the room, seeing Lu Su in this situation, her mind was already working.
"He might have a fever; you need to take him to the hospital quickly."
Xiaochen saw Lu Su tied up and rushed over, looking surprised, "Teacher Lu, why tie up your hands when you have a fever? Are you okay?"
Lu Su felt hot and uncomfortable all over. Shaking his head at the words, he said, "Just drank the wine that Bai Jia's sister handed over like this. Don't ask, come and untie me."
Xiaochen quickly went over to help him, preparing to untie his hands. Thinking of those black-handed people outside the door, he knew he couldn't miss this opportunity.
So, he paused and said anxiously, "You can't endure being burned like this; we need to cool your forehead first, or you might not make it on the way."
He quickly looked at Jiang Chenchen, "Miss Jiang, I beg you."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Chenchen went to the bathroom, soaked a towel, and came back to apply it to Lu Su's forehead.
Xiaochen stepped back and took out his phone, taking several photos and recording a video.
From his shooting angle, it looked as if the two were very close on the bed doing something intimate. Jiang Chenchen turned around to see him holding the phone as he applied the towel to Lu Su's forehead.
Xiaochen reacted quickly and hastily said, "I'll quickly contact the hospital."
At the same time, he sent one of the taken photos to Zhang Ge.
"I wonder how much this is worth?"
Soon, Zhang Ge replied, "Compared to your gambling debt, it's far from enough. Only the drops are valuable."
Xiaochen looked at his phone and secretly cursed. Damn, how do I complete this?!
"I can't do it!"
"You can think about yourself, and then you'll be able to do it."
He was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone, but at the moment, he could only go down one path. He put the phone down, seeing Jiang Chenchen still cooling Lu Su's forehead, so he calmly picked up a flower vase in the hotel room, approached her from behind, and aimed to strike her head!
He didn't strike!
The flower vase was held by Jiang Chenchen, and her expressionless look made Xiaochen panic. How could her reaction be so fast!
Wanting to take the vase back from her, but she had a strong grip!
"What are you..."
Is she not a normal woman?!?!
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Chenchen looked at him, "If you don't explain, I'll smash this vase on your head."
Her tone was very calm, as if she was about to smash something other than a vase.
Xiaochen looked at her in panic. Subconsciously stepping back, he couldn't help but think of the time on the island when he saw the male actor Jiao Weiyun come out of her room covered in blood!
She really can do it!!
"I... I'm just..."
Xiaochen wanted to bluff his way through, but he couldn't find a suitable lie. At this moment, his phone in his pocket made a sound, receiving a text message.
This kind of movement made him feel like he was electrocuted. He lowered his head to glance at it, and then lifted his gaze. Sure enough, Jiang Chenchen noticed something unusual. She took a step forward, "Bring the phone over."
With a calm tone and a rebellious look in her eyes.
Xiaochen, seeing her eyes, was startled. Pressing the phone, he quickly explained, "It's not what you think!"
"Xiaochen, what are you doing?" Lu Su sensed that something was wrong and tried to get up from the bed, but his bound hands and weak body prevented him from doing so.
Jiang Chenchen completely took the vase from his hand, walked toward Xiaochen while holding the vase, and said, "Bring the phone out."
Xiaochen stepped back. It's not that he was scared. This girl in front of him was not an ordinary girl. She looked terrifying, and he had injuries on him. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to fight back.
If he couldn't fight back, he would turn around and run.
However, when he reached the door, he reached out to open it. Before he could turn the doorknob, she swiftly came over and kicked the door, stomping on the door panel.
The gust of wind from that foot swept past his face like a knife, and the vase was right above his head. Under multiple shocks, he was almost scared enough to lose control of his bladder.
Meanwhile, there was a sound of the door opening.
Chapter 138: What are the Dangers of This Medicine?
"Why won't the door open?"
"Did Lu Su wake up and lock it?"
"But didn't he pass out from a single drink? Could it be that your stuff is just a fake?!"
"Come on, if he woke up, he must have left. But the door won't open, there's someone inside!"
"Hush... Didn't you hear any noise just now?!"
The voices outside suddenly stopped, and they pressed against the door, listening for a while, but couldn't hear anything.
One of the girls, looking scared, said, "Could something have happened to Lu Su inside!?"
At these words, everyone's expression changed, and they urgently said to Bai Junjun, who had the room key, "Open the door quickly!"
"It won't open!" Bai Junjun was also a bit panicked.
She placed the room key on the sensor, twisted the door handle, and finally managed to open the door.
However, inside the room, there was only a disheveled man slumped on the floor, and a vase had rolled aside. Lu Su's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Who are you!?"
Some girl recognized him, "This is Lu Su's assistant!?"
"Where's Lu Su!?" Bai Junjun asked anxiously.
Xiaochen looked towards the window, "Jumped down..."
The curtains fluttered, and the window, which should have only opened a small gap, was forcibly pushed open. Jiang Chenchen, carrying Lu Su, jumped down. With a thud, they disappeared into the night, and it was unknown if they fell to their deaths!
This was the second floor; they shouldn't die.
He was scared stiff, and his phone was taken away. He didn't know what that girl would do with it!
If she hadn't reacted so quickly, those girls rushing in would have seen Lu Su breaking free from the restraints on his hands, tearing off his clothes due to the effects of the drug—a scene most unbefitting for a top celebrity.
Unfortunately, his phone was snatched away, and such a scene was not captured. Regardless of which side, he had no way out.
Bai Junjun and the others no longer paid attention to the assistant sitting paralyzed on the ground. Instead, they all rushed to the window, but there was no sign of anyone.
...
Jiang Chenchen, carrying Lu Su, jumped down, and he was still restless with a fever. It was quite troublesome, but he was a good person, helping out even when he was unwell. She could distinguish between good and bad people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they descended, a silver car stopped in front of them.
The car window rolled down halfway, and she saw Sheng Mingsi's face, somewhat surprised.
"Get in the car."
He ordered with a stern face, really too reckless. Jumping down like this, wasn't he afraid of getting hurt?!
The automatic door opened, and Jiang Chenchen stuffed Lu Su into the car. She also intended to get in, but Sheng Mingsi coldly reminded her, "Sit up front."
So, she closed the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
The person in the back was quite restless, with disheveled clothes, looking quite unpleasant.
"What happened to him?" Sheng Mingsi drove fast, heading to a private hospital of a friend nearby.
Jiang Chenchen then explained what she knew.
After contemplating for a moment, Sheng Mingsi said, "There's medicine in the compartment in front of you. Feed him a pill."
Jiang Chenchen opened the compartment and indeed found a bottle of pills. "What is this?"
"Calmative, a psychiatric drug."
"Brother Ah Si, are you taking it too?"
Facing Jiang Chenchen's question, Sheng Mingsi's eyes flickered imperceptibly. "Occasionally. Don't talk about this. Quickly feed him one."
Jiang Chenchen fed Lu Su a pill and a bit of water. He lay down, seemingly stopping the act of tearing off his clothes, weakly closing his eyes.
"Brother Ah Si, why would a glass of wine make someone like this?" She turned her body and looked at Sheng Mingsi, who was driving.
Tonight's Lu Su was too unbelievable.
She felt that he had undergone a tremendous change.
If she didn't know he was a good person, she would have broken his reckless hands.
Sheng Mingsi said solemnly, "His drink was spiked with drugs. In the future, be cautious and don't casually drink from others. Do you understand?"
Jiang Chenchen nodded, looking as if she understood. It turned out to be Bai Junjun and the others; it seemed that people of any age could do bad things.
A fleeting thought passed through her mind, and she continued to ask, "So, what are the dangers of this medicine?"
"Didn't you see it for yourself? If he weren't sick, a single pill could knock down an ox. In situations like this, as a girl, don't approach, just call the police. His assistant, manager, or even you can do it, no need for you!"
Jiang Chenchen: "Knock down an ox?"
Sheng Mingsi: "..." She really knows how to pick the key points.
"Listen to the second half."
"Oh."
Speaking of the assistant, Jiang Chenchen took Xiaochen's phone from her pocket, which had a password lock and couldn't be opened temporarily.
Sheng Mingsi glanced at it, "Whose is it? The one in the back?"
"It's his assistant's. He seems to be secretly filming something."
Sheng Mingsi's brows furrowed when he heard that, "Tell me the details!"
Jiang Chenchen briefly recounted what happened in the room. Sheng Mingsi's expression became even darker. He didn't say anything and just increased the car's speed, quickly arriving at a private hospital.
There were people waiting at the entrance. Sheng Mingsi rolled down the window and greeted the person outside.
"The person in the car drank drugged wine. I'll leave it to you, Yansheng."
Qin Yansheng, standing outside the car, looked gentle and refined, "No problem."
He and a nurse lifted the person in the car onto a stretcher and then pushed him into the hospital.
This was a private hospital with a courtyard, residence, and medical facilities, including an operating room.
It belonged to Sheng Mingsi's classmate and a good friend.
Jiang Chenchen wanted to get off the car to follow, but Sheng Mingsi reached out and held her arm, asking her to stay seated. He parked the car, took the phone from her hands, and said, "Let me see."
"Brother Ah Si, but Lu Su..."
Sheng Mingsi wasn't the jealous type when it came to such matters. After all, there was nothing to argue about with someone who was sick.
"Don't worry. The person inside is my friend; he'll be fine. But the matter you mentioned about secretly filming sounds like premeditation, and it could be a big problem or a small one."
Jiang Chenchen was puzzled, "Premeditation for what? But I can't open the phone... huh?"
Sheng Mingsi had already opened the phone, checking the photos. However, the opened page landed on the message chat first. As he looked at the chat history, his expression quickly turned cold and stern.
The photos opened.
It showed Jiang Chenchen leaning close to the bed where Lu Su was lying. The posture was intimate and ambiguous, the angle perfectly chosen.
His grip on the phone tightened, his dark eyes cold. Despite seeing such a scene, he didn't coldly interrogate her, nor did he hand the photos over for her to see.
Jiang Chenchen was unaware of what he was looking at. Instead, she was curious about his sudden appearance earlier. "Brother Ah Si, how did you happen to show up so conveniently?"
Chapter 139: Damn Brother
Sheng Mingsi suppressed his raised eyebrows, a hint of anger in his throat. He casually said, "Just happened to pass by."
Jiang Chenchen: "Oh! That's quite a coincidence!"
Coincidence, my foot! If it weren't for making several calls without an answer, would he be so worried to come here?! Any of his subordinates could handle it; why did he have to come himself, and why so coincidentally?!
"Where's your phone?"
While asking, he opened the phone gallery, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Jiang Chenchen was originally leaning over to see what was on Xiao Chen's phone. Hearing his question, she stopped and began looking for her own phone. The formal dress didn't have pockets for her phone, so she put it in a small purse, but she couldn't remember where she left it.
After careful recollection, it seemed like she left it in that room.
And her phone was set to vibrate, so she didn't notice the calls.
"Oh no, Brother Ah Si, I forgot to bring my phone." Reminded by him, she thought of going back to the hotel to get her phone. After all, that phone cost thousands, and she didn't have the money to buy another one if she lost it.
In the few minutes she spent searching for her phone, Sheng Mingsi had already sent Wang Ge's number and information from Xiao Chen's phone to Wu Bi to investigate. He acted swiftly.
However, just as Jiang Chenchen was about to get off the car, Sheng Mingsi pulled her arm, asking her to sit down. He parked the car and took her phone from her, saying, "Sit down, don't worry about the phone. I'll have someone bring it to you."
At the same time, he removed his seatbelt and took off his suit jacket, handing it to her. "Wear this."
Jiang Chenchen looked over. "Aren't you cold?"
"Give me the scarf."
"Oh."
So, they changed their clothes and scarves. Unexpectedly, there was now a distinct fragrance on each other.
Sheng Mingsi's hidden anger intensified when he smelled her scent after the exchange.
"..."
At the same time, he took out a cigarette from the car, opened the window, leaned out, lit it, and took a puff. With his arm propped on the window, he exhaled a smoke ring. In the burning smoke, he glanced sideways at her. "Do you like that person?"
He asked this question with an extremely serious and cold tone.
"Who?" Jiang Chenchen felt that the Sheng Mingsi leaning against the window with smoke enveloping him seemed particularly indifferent. Why was that?
"Do you know what 'liking' means?"
Jiang Chenchen: "Liking you, is that considered liking?"
Sheng Mingsi saw that the more direct and straightforward she was, the more blocked he felt deep inside.
Jiang Chenchen said, "Is liking you a kind of liking?"
Sheng Mingsi saw that the more direct and straightforward she was, the more blocked he felt deep inside.
"It's different. Your dependence on me is a kind of affection, while the other kind..."
He originally wanted to make it clear, but seeing her blank gaze, he quickly stopped talking.
He sighed inwardly. Did this guy really understand anything?
He felt ridiculous about himself a moment ago for no reason.
"What other kind?" Jiang Chenchen asked when he didn't continue.
Sheng Mingsi opened Xiao Chen's phone, opened the photos, and handed it to her. "Take a look. Why did you get so close at that time?"
Jiang Chenchen took the phone and looked puzzled. "Isn't this when I was applying a cold compress to Lu Su's forehead? Why take a sneak shot of this?"
Sheng Mingsi raised an eyebrow. "Cold compress?"
Jiang Chenchen nodded. "Assistant Xiao said that it's better for him to apply a cold compress. Is it wrong? Will it have a bad impact on the patient?"
"Patient? You only treated him as a patient at that time?"
"Yeah." Jiang Chenchen nodded. Not getting an answer to her question, she continued, "Brother Ah Si, you haven't answered me yet. Is applying a cold compress like that bad for him? I thought he had a fever, so I wanted to help him cool down."
Sheng Mingsi twitched his lips, finding his previous self ridiculous.
This guy really didn't understand anything. Did she have other strange interests in her brain?
Suppressing his thoughts, he said, "It's not wrong to cool down. In the future, don't do things you don't understand easily. Leave it to the doctors. That's the right way."
Jiang Chenchen listened to him. "Then let's go down and see how he's doing?"
She deleted the photos on Xiao Chen's phone and hesitated about what to do with the phone.
Sheng Mingsi reached out. "Give it to me. In the future, you should be careful about people behind your back. Also, besides real patients, don't get so close to men."
Jiang Chenchen handed him the phone and approached him at the same time, close enough to feel his breath on her face. "Is this distance okay?"
Sheng Mingsi's breath hitched. His long eyelashes trembled faintly, but he restrained himself and said through gritted teeth, "No... it's not!"
At the same time, he created some distance. His heartbeat in his chest was intense.
Jiang Chenchen felt a bit wronged, "But can't I get close to Brother Ah Si like this?"
"..."
Joy or worry?!
Damn brother.
...
Lu Su was in good condition and already sound asleep.
Sheng Mingsi exchanged some words with his classmates outside the door, while Qin Yansheng's gaze fell on Jiang Chenchen standing next to him.
Throughout his school days, he had never seen him in a good mood with any girl, almost keeping a distance of a thousand miles. So now, there was a girl standing next to him, wearing his coat no less, making him very curious.
"Who is she?"
Definitely not wanting to introduce any brother.
So Sheng Mingsi said, "She is a financially supported impoverished student of mine."
"...Really?"
Qin Yansheng smiled politely and gracefully. Who would believe it?
"Can I have her WeChat?"
He pushed his glasses while wearing a white coat, the lenses gleaming with a teasing light.
Sheng Mingsi stood coldly in place, lifting his chin slightly. "Ask her."
Jiang Chenchen heard this and said, "Sure."
Sheng Mingsi looked at her coldly: ?
**Chapter 140:**
Jiang Chenchen not only added Qin Yansheng's WeChat but also asked him how he had dealt with the patient's situation just now.
Qin Yansheng smiled gently, answered her questions, and looked at Sheng Mingsi, who had a gloomy face. He found it quite interesting, never expecting to see Sheng Mingsi, who could actually be jealous!
Obviously, this girl still seemed a bit clueless.
"Do you want to become a doctor in the future?" Qin Yansheng asked.
Jiang Chenchen shook her head, "I probably can't become a doctor."
"Why?" Qin Yansheng inquired.
"Because my grades aren't good," Jiang Chenchen replied.
Sheng Mingsi remained silent.
Qin Yansheng continued to ask, challenging the patience of the person beside him, "Then why do you want to study medicine?"
He was so gentle and polite, making people feel comfortable.
"Because..." Jiang Chenchen glanced at Sheng Mingsi beside her and said very seriously, "Mr. Sheng saving people looks like the brightest sun, making people can't help but want to do the same, to be a sun."
Sheng Mingsi was surprised to hear her directly state her reason for wanting to study medicine. It was both amazing and a bit embarrassing. Why did it sound so much like Ye Xi's chuunibyou spirit?
He cleared his throat, returning to his usual cold and distant expression.
"Alright, it's late. Take care of the celebrity inside. Be sure to protect his privacy. Thanks for today. I'll treat you to a meal when you have time."
"Dinner is good. Include her. By the way, what's your name?" Qin Yansheng asked politely and elegantly, even though he had her WeChat.
Jiang Chenchen was about to answer when Sheng Mingsi interrupted, "I can withdraw my funding."
Qin Yansheng's eyes behind his glasses twitched. That was harsh!
"Oh, of course. I heard about that girl from the Feng family..."
Qin Yansheng immediately smiled and interrupted Sheng Mingsi before he could say more. Once he heard about that girl from the Feng family, it was too much! Sigh, troublesome.
"I didn't say anything just now. I'll delete the WeChat immediately."
...
On the way back in the car, Jiang Chenchen, after making a call to Bai Junwen with Sheng Mingsi's phone, fell asleep leaning against the passenger seat.
Her tired and busy appearance throughout the day was visible to him. He turned off the lights in the car, leaving only the light from the dashboard.
However, Sheng Mingsi's phone inside the car rang.
It was his phone.
From Wu Bi.
He answered with earphones, his voice low, "Speak."
"Mr. Sheng, the person you asked me to investigate with the last name Wang is a thug in the casino. Lu Su's assistant owes a lot of money to those people. To force him to repay the debt, they made him take exclusive pictures of Lu Su to sell. These people are not targeting Miss Jiang, but..."
"But what?" Sheng Mingsi said coldly.
"But the photos have already been sold to the gossip account. Now it can't be retrieved. They are multiple anonymous accounts, and the money has been transferred to the account of a person surnamed Wang. It's done using someone else's identity, an ordinary person. It's either untraceable, or it will take time. But I'm afraid that by tomorrow morning or after midnight, the exposure will be on the entire internet."
Wu Bi's voice got smaller and smaller, but it was still audible.
He could feel the oppressive atmosphere on the other end of the phone. Sharp, cold, and extremely suppressed.
But Sheng Mingsi did not speak, patiently waiting.
After a while, Sheng Mingsi spoke, his voice still low, "Release another bait. Make that gossip account show up. I will send more people over, all computer hacking experts. Try to be as quick as possible. Use technology to locate and find the location of the account owner. Cut off the pictures."
Even though Wu Bi was an expert in computer hacking, when it came to Jiang Chenchen's affairs, he wanted to ensure that everything went smoothly.
He devised another plan and had Gu Mingmei's PR department contact the bosses behind the online platforms. If there were any leaked photos of Lu Su, they were to be deleted immediately.
Gu Mingmei, currently at a beauty salon for a full-body treatment, received his call and immediately instructed her subordinates to take care of it. Initially intending to tease him with a comment, she refrained from saying much when she sensed that something was amiss.
When did her brother start doing so much for Lu Su?
Last time, he had someone take him to see a doctor, and now it seemed like he was afraid of causing a scandal again?
Scandal...? What did Lu Su do this time?
...
The car came to a stop, and Sheng Mingsi glanced at the still-sleeping figure. He reclined the car seat to let her sleep a bit longer before getting out of the car to carry her inside.
Within the forty minutes or so, the situation had already been resolved.
He brought her back home, and as he entered, Jiang Chenchen woke up, rubbing her eyes and looking at him. "Brother Ah Si, what time is it?"
"Half-past twelve."
"It's so late! I still have vocabulary words to memorize today."
"Memorize them tomorrow. It's late; go to sleep."
"Then put me down."
"Uh, okay."
Sheng Mingsi set her down, and Jiang Chenchen changed her shoes. Taking off his suit jacket, she cradled it in her arms. "Brother Ah Si, do I need to return this dress tomorrow?"
"Why?"
Jiang Chenchen extended her hand. "How much is this ring?"
Sheng Mingsi shifted his gaze away from her hand on the table and onto her face. "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, I just want to know the price. When I earn money in the future, I'll buy it myself."
"You want it, I'll give it to you."
"No, I've already received a lot of support from you. I have to repay this money, and I need to rely on myself to earn it." Jiang Chenchen said, "So, how much is it?"
Supporting himself against the table, Sheng Mingsi lowered his head to change his shoes. "I don't know the exact price, probably a few hundred thousand."
Jiang Chenchen calculated in her mind, quite a lot...
"Yeah, I got it."
She carried her jacket upstairs.
Watching her act a bit embarrassed just now, Sheng Mingsi followed behind her and reached out to pat her head. "You can borrow from me. I have plenty of money."
Looking back, Jiang Chenchen met his gaze. "No, the more I borrow, the harder it is to repay."
Sheng Mingsi chuckled, his eyes deep as he looked down at her. "You don't need to repay it. Just help me with a favor."
Facing his gaze, Jiang Chenchen said, "I can help, but I won't borrow money. Brother Ah Si, what favor do you want me to do?"
Leaving his hand, she turned around to face him, looking up at him.
Sheng Mingsi couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead. "I won't tell you for now. I'll keep this ring for you. When you earn money or if you want to borrow from me, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Chenchen took off the ring from her finger and handed it to him. "Here you go."
The living room had only wall lamps on, making the room dim with a faint glow.
The ring he received from her shone brightly in the dim light, and he reached out to take it.
For a moment, he stared at her, forgetting to shift his gaze away.
Jiang Chenchen waved her hand in front of his eyes. "Gege, what's wrong? Do you also want to try wearing it?"
Sheng Mingsi's eyes flickered. "No."
Grasping the ring in his hand, he did not expect her to extend her hand, and he unintentionally held her hand along with the ring.
