A Bunch of Ungrateful Wretches, Don't Call Me Brother Anymore

To help his three adoptive siblings, Zhou Chen sacrificed his future, only for them to succeed. However, instead of gratitude, he was met with ingratitude, leading to a lifetime of hardship.

...

Chapter 842 Liu Ruyan!

Inside a fairly upscale restaurant near Yenching University,

Zhou Chen, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei sat by the window, chatting.

He would glance out the window every now and then, searching for Wang Rui.

"Brother Chen, Ruizi is here."

"It was her. She was the one who asked for Ruizi's contact information that day."

Zhang Hao suddenly pointed to the parking lot outside, where Wang Rui was very gentlemanly opening the car door, and a tall woman in a strapless dress stepped out of the car.

Um?

Zhou Chen looked over upon hearing the sound and had to admit that the woman had a truly impressive figure. Putting aside her looks, her figure alone surpassed that of 90% of women.

Not long after,

With a smug smile, Wang Rui led the woman to the dining table and took the initiative to introduce them.

"Ruyan, this is my mentor, and also the brother you've always wanted to meet, Zhou Chen."

"Mr. Zhou, I've long admired your name."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

When the other person extended their hand, Zhou Chen did not take it, but simply nodded and smiled.

Previously, because of the distance, he couldn't see Liu Ruyan clearly. Now, face to face, Zhou Chen felt that Liu Ruyan in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he clearly didn't have this person in his memory. Why did she give him a sense of familiarity?

Secondly, Zhou Chen could tell that this person had undergone plastic surgery. When he smiled, the muscles in his face appeared slightly stiff, indicating that he had clearly had work done.

This made him suspect that the woman's figure was probably the result of plastic surgery, a result of advanced technology.

Could she be a man?

Suddenly, an inexplicable thought popped into Zhou Chen's mind.

Subconsciously, Zhou Chen looked at the area around his Adam's apple.

"Brother Chen, what do you think? Isn't our Ruyan beautiful?"

When Wang Rui saw Zhou Chen staring at Liu Ruyan, he assumed that Zhou Chen was captivated by Liu Ruyan's beauty. This made him feel proud, but he was also a little worried. Could it be that Zhou Chen had also fallen for Liu Ruyan? If so, what should he do as a brother?

"fine."

Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and stopped looking at Liu Ruyan.

Seeing this, Wang Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that Zhou Chen didn't seem to have fallen in love at first sight; he had been overthinking things.

However, Wang Rui had no idea what Zhou Chen was really thinking at that moment.

Zhou Chen is confirmed.

The person in front of me, who is more feminine than a woman, is a man. Some things can be faked, or even removed, but an Adam's apple cannot be faked.

This Liu Ruyan has a prominent Adam's apple, a hallmark of masculinity, which speaks volumes.

He was right not to shake hands.

It's tough on Wang Rui!

Thinking of Wang Rui, that unlucky kid, Zhou Chen didn't know what to say. His love life was so bumpy; he seemed to encounter all sorts of things. He was practically born with a divine body.

"Brother Chen, you have to sign an autograph for Ruyan later. I promised her a long time ago."

"good."

Seeing Wang Rui's enthusiasm for Liu Ruyan, helping her pull out a chair, tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, pouring water, and so on, Zhou Chen's eyes were filled with sympathy. He wondered if Wang Rui had done something heinous in his past life to be experiencing so many bizarre things.

Otherwise, how could Wang Rui have run into them all?

The probability of someone having a romantic relationship like Wang Rui's is even lower than winning the lottery.

"Brother Chen, is there something on my face?"

Wang Rui felt that Zhou Chen was looking at him with a strange look in his eyes, a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on. It was as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, or as if he was disappointed in him, or pitied him, etc. In short, it was very complicated, and he couldn't figure it out.

He'll definitely have to ask about it after the dinner.

Five people at one table, the meal was quite enjoyable.

Of course, Wang Rui kept showering her with attention, showing that he genuinely liked Liu Ruyan. The more he did this, the less Zhou Chen could bear to tell Wang Rui the truth.

If Wang Rui knew that the other person was a boy, the blow would probably be ten times greater than before.

Zhao Kun, who appeared as Liu Ruyan, was both happy and a little depressed at this moment.

To her delight, Zhou Chen didn't recognize her at all. In fact, when he first saw her, he was quite amazed and stared at her for several seconds.

What does this mean? It means that he has successfully caught Zhou Chen's attention, and perhaps Zhou Chen has even fallen in love with him at first sight.

But as the dinner party began,

Zhao Kun discovered that things weren't going as he expected. Zhou Chen's gaze wouldn't linger on him for even a second longer. This made Zhao Kun doubt himself. Was he not pretty enough after the plastic surgery? Otherwise, why wouldn't Zhou Chen look at him more?

"Playing hard to get, that must be it. I'm a man, I understand men best. Zhou Chen, I've seen through your tricks. With just a little bit of my skill, I'll definitely be able to win you over."

Zhao Kun quickly found a suitable reason to comfort himself.

If she can successfully lure Zhou Chen to a hotel and secretly take some photos, he can use this leverage to make Zhou Chen obey him, and even transfer Zhou Chen's entire company to his hands.

"Find an opportunity to meet with him alone."

Zhao Kun made up her mind that once Zhou Chen went to the restroom, she would find an excuse to follow him. She didn't believe that Zhou Chen could remain unmoved if she threw herself into his arms now that he had both a great physique and good looks. Once there was physical contact, things would be much easier.

As for Wang Rui, this tool, he will definitely hate Zhou Chen because of this, which is a win-win situation for him.

Zhao Kun had high hopes for the future, but after waiting and waiting, Li Wei and Zhang Hao went to the toilet one after another, and Wang Rui even went twice, but Zhou Chen was the only one who didn't go.

In this way, she won't have a chance to throw herself into his arms.

Unable to complete the plan of breaking up with Zhou Chen and gaining leverage over Zhou Chen.

"No, I have to take the initiative."

Since there was no opportunity, Zhao Kun had to create one himself. So when he asked to go to the toilet, he deliberately walked past Zhou Chen.

Just as he was about to pass by Zhou Chen, Zhao Kun immediately pretended to twist his ankle and leaned towards Zhou Chen.

However,

Before she could fall onto Zhou Chen, a "Careful!" came from behind. Then, Zhao Kun felt himself being pulled up, and the next second, he was pulled into an embrace. Looking up, he saw Wang Rui smiling and looking down at him.

"Are you alright?"

Wang Rui was overjoyed. He never expected to stumble upon a scene from a movie. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pulled the person over in the blink of an eye, staging a heroic rescue.

After this incident, Liu Ruyan's feelings for him must have increased significantly.

And this is also his most beautiful memory with Liu Ruyan.

What a memorable moment!

While Wang Rui was overjoyed, Zhou Chen, who was almost pounced on by Zhao Kun, thought to himself how close he had come to disaster. Fortunately, Wang Rui had stopped him from doing so.

That last movement must have been intentional. How could it be such a coincidence that I twisted my ankle just as I walked over to him?

This androgynous guy actually had designs on him.

Zhou Chen doesn't like women with magic wands!

A reader named Baozi suggested that Little Kun be randomly given away to a fan. You're really amazing!
