The young and successful Cheng Zhu came across a question online: If you were given a chance to go back in time and start over, would you take it?
As someone known in his circle for being the...
Chapter 203 The Beautiful Stepmother Became Suspicious
(ps: The previous chapter was reviewed, please don’t miss it.)
Under the street light, Cheng Zhu had one hand in his coat pocket and the other holding a cigarette.
He looked at the security guards of the community across the street from afar and felt that this was worthy of being one of the most upscale villa communities in Hangzhou. The security guards were all over 1.8 meters tall, looked handsome, and stood very straight.
He had seen a way to get rich on the Internet before.
It is said that as long as you are confident enough about your appearance and figure, you can work as a security guard in a high-end residential area.
You never know when you will be noticed by a rich woman and live a good life by eating her gigolo.
Cheng Zhu didn't yearn for this kind of life at all.
"The flower language of steel wool is forbearance and wealth." He took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile.
What he didn't know was that the young security guard standing opposite was actually looking at him across the street.
He had worked in this community for a while and knew that the person driving the Land Rover was a super beauty with a cool temperament, a strong aura, and a tall figure.
He also wondered why this man got out of her car and then stood on the side of the road to hail a taxi.
After smoking a cigarette, Cheng Zhu got in the car and headed home.
About five minutes later, he picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Shen Qingning: “In the car.”
It's true, he was in the car.
But it felt to the other party as if he had been standing in the autumn wind in the early morning for a long time and had just got on the bus.
At this moment, Shen Qingning had just washed her face in the bathroom.
She looked at herself in the mirror without makeup and found that her skin was in very good condition.
In addition, because of the alcohol, her fair skin was rosy, as if she had applied a layer of natural blush.
Of course, her attention at this moment was mainly focused on her lips.
Shen Qingning stared at her lips in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Just recalling this, she felt her heart beating faster.
Who could have imagined that their first kiss would be like this?
And after he kissed her, he just...just...
At this moment, she received a WeChat message from Cheng Zhu.
She thought it must be Cheng Zhu at this time, so she immediately picked up her phone to check.
"Did he just get a taxi?" Shen Qingning thought.
The image of the person standing at the street light and watching his car leave emerged in my mind.
Her heart felt warm and she felt that she would remember this scene for a long time.
In Shen Qingning's heart, Cheng Zhu is a very bad, but not bad man.
Bad in one aspect, good in another.
"Okay." Shen Qingning replied: "I'll take a shower first."
"OK."
She took a deep breath and stopped herself from thinking about it.
After taking off my clothes, I started taking a hot shower.
As the hot water washed over her body, she felt that she could not help but think of the scene in the car.
Physical intimacy can sometimes be fatal.
Especially for someone like her who is trying it for the first time.
She had read so many romance novels that she couldn't describe what that feeling was like.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's because of the two people kissing that one is a complete inexperienced person while the other is not only skilled but also really good at kissing!
After taking a shower, Shen Qingning changed into pajamas and applied some skin care products on her face.
After doing all this, she walked into the room, picked up her water cup, and couldn't help but take two big sips, as if her mouth was very dry.
Then she lay down on the bed, lying on her side with her long legs curled up and her cell phone in both hands.
"Twenty minutes have passed, he should be home by now, right?" she thought.
She had been to the Yunlai Restaurant owned by Cheng Zhu's family once. Cheng Zhu also said that his home was in the community next to the restaurant, so she roughly knew the distance.
But she did not receive any other WeChat messages from Cheng Zhu, and he did not say that he had arrived home.
The tiredness after drinking had already set in, so she just kept waiting with her eyes half open and her cell phone in hand.
She didn't know how much time had passed, she was just too sleepy.
But she still wanted to say something.
In the end, it just turned into one sentence: "Good night."
The other party replied almost immediately: "Good night."
We didn’t talk about anything before, but suddenly he sent me a message saying good night.
Before sending these two words, she thought about what happened tonight.
I thought about him saying he wanted to bribe me to take me to Jay Chou's concert. I thought about him taking me to dance on the dance machine and making a bet with me. I thought about him massaging my ankles in the car, and the last scenes full of aggression.
Cheng Zhu was actually very clear about this. With her cold and arrogant personality, this was probably the first time she sent someone a good night message under such circumstances.
There was no prelude to the conversation between the two.
She just couldn't help but say this before going to bed.
So this good night will give people a slightly different feeling.
Of course, the night belongs to everyone, but for some girls, this greeting does not belong to everyone.
Night is night for the whole world, and peace is peace only for you.
Well, good night.
That night, Cheng Zhu had several dreams of his youth and frivolity.
From this we can see that this person is really not a good person. He is not even faithful in his dreams.
Shen Qingning also had a very long dream.
In her dream, she and Cheng Zhu were together, living like a young couple.
Well, a dream of living together.
Cheng Zhu didn't sleep very late and got out of bed at ten o'clock.
Because there was a little girl who knocked on the door at ten o'clock.
Cheng Zhu promised Xiao Youzi that he would take her to "You Lai Wan" today.
Then, take her to Starlight City and tell her that I will open a milk tea shop for her!
After getting up and washing up briefly, Cheng Zhu changed into autumn clothes, ate half a box of biscuits for breakfast at home, and planned to take Xiao Youzi out.
"Oh, the bread fell on her car. She originally told me to bring the bread back for Xiao Youzi to eat." Cheng Zhu then remembered.
You know what, the bread tastes really good.
Of course, he tasted something much more delicious and precious in the car.
After getting into a taxi with Xiao Youzi, Cheng Zhu opened his phone and checked the WeChat group of the game studio.
No one has spoken yet.
This means that these bastards are all still sleeping soundly.
Otherwise, once someone wakes up, they will definitely talk about their own embarrassing moments last night, and there may also be some gossip between men and women, as well as verbal fights between boys.
After arriving at [You Lai Fun], little Youzi once again exclaimed: "Brother, there are so many people!"
Because it was the weekend, there were already quite a few customers in the store even though it was only 11 o'clock in the morning.
When the store manager Wang Wei saw Xiao Youzi, she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, the boss brought the little princess to the store?"
Little Youzi would stand on tiptoes in front of the cashier counter and ask for Cheng Zhu's BOSS card: "Sister, my card, my card."
Wang Wei smiled and took the card out of the drawer and gave it to her. She also said, "Thank you, sister."
Cheng Zhu took his sister to the store to catch dolls, and thought to himself: "A dead tsundere is a dead tsundere. He should not be sleeping now, but after sobering up, he will not take the initiative to chat with others."
Shen Qingning didn’t send him a message all morning.
Of course, this bastard didn’t post it either.
As he thought, Shen Qingning had already woken up.
She is now discussing with her stepmother Wang Yushan about opening a small door for the milk tea shop.
"Do you want to open another door?" Wang Yusan was slightly stunned.
She also didn't expect that this guy named Cheng Zhu, after renting a shop through the back door, would actually seek privileges!
"Our family just invested in the business, and the shopping mall is not entirely owned by our family." Wang Yuwei complained slightly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The young mother and daughter were sitting together on the sofa at this moment, looking at each other.
"Is it difficult to operate?" Shen Qingning asked.
"If you really want to do it, I have to ask." Wang Yuwei said: "Normally, it is definitely not allowed. It will also damage the facade of the mall, don't you think?"
Once this door is opened, it basically means that the shop will have an extra small door.
There will also be slight changes to the mall’s exterior.
The most important thing is that once this loophole is opened, it will become an exception.
Will other shops in similar areas do the same in the future?
Yes, Starbucks does have a little door like this.
But that's Starbucks!
It’s a world-renowned brand!
What’s more, they were a brand that had already agreed to move in when the shopping mall was not yet fully built.
So during the construction, a small door was opened according to the agreed conditions.
Now, after the shopping mall has been built for many years, if you want to open another one specifically, the nature of the business will suddenly be different.
This Cheng Zhu is really good at giving people difficult problems.
In addition, Wang Yusan felt something was strange.
"Ningning should be able to think of these things, right?" she thought to herself.
In her heart, Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang are different.
Ahem, I don't mean to look down on Shen Minglang, he is just a careless and, ahem... sloppy person.
"Ningning always thinks things through very carefully."
"She must have been able to imagine the resistance and some of the irrationalities involved."
"I even think she might be more comprehensive than I thought."
Wang Yushan has a clear self-awareness: I am just responsible for taking care of household affairs and being a beautiful stepmother.
In terms of abilities in all aspects, vision, and perhaps even pattern, they may be far behind Ningning.
Old Shen has said that in the future, the family's assets will probably no longer be able to rely on Shen Minglang, and may have to rely on this daughter.
Therefore, Wang Yushan concluded: "If it was a normal situation, Ningning would have rejected it directly and would not have come to tell me about it."
She thought about it and finally made a decision.
I saw the young stepmother turn slightly and look at Shen Qingning.
"Ningning, I have always treated you like a friend, so I am asking you a question from a friend's perspective. Don't feel pressured."
"Well, you don't like this Cheng Zhu, do you?"
…
