Chapter 31 Have you ever seen me with makeup on...?

When Shang Chen was very young.

Shang Mingzhi would then brazenly bring back his illegitimate children, the eldest of whom was a year older than him.

Whenever Shang Chen thinks of Shang Mingzhi's glorious history, he can't help but laugh. It's as if he thinks he's an emperor, having so many sons just to divide up his family fortune.

Nowadays, illegitimate children are causing trouble at home for a little money.

Shang Mingzhi was accidentally injured and was bedridden. One by one, his illegitimate children found excuses to leave. At this moment, he thought of his only legitimate son.

Shang Chen has no feelings for this father.

I only came back to check on his condition. If he's really not doing well, I'll have to pack up and prepare to take over the company.

The car stopped at the main entrance of the city's central hospital.

Someone was waiting for him downstairs. After calling out "Young Master," they caught the car keys he tossed to them.

The VIP ward on the top floor was nearly deserted.

It was quiet, and the atmosphere was strangely eerie. After turning the corner, we arrived at the last ward, where two serious-looking bodyguards in black stood at the door.

As soon as Shang Chen went inside, the two men immediately closed the door.

Then, Shang Chen heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside. He frowned and suppressed the unease in his heart.

"Xiao Chen, you're here." Shang Mingzhi leaned against the bed, his face rosy, making it hard to tell that he had just suffered a serious injury. "Come, let me introduce you to someone. This is Dad's business partner. She's not much older than you. You can call her Sister Qing."

Shang Chen didn't even blink. Seeing him full of energy, he said sarcastically, "Next time, come and let me know when you're about to die so you can sign."

"You son of a bitch!" Shang Mingzhi threw something at him. "I'm your father, how dare you curse your father to death!"

The feigned peace lasts no more than ten seconds.

Shang Chen put his hands in his pockets, turned his head, and skillfully dodged the attack, then walked towards the door with his eyes lowered.

Just then, my phone received a message, and without even thinking, I knew it was from Wen Ling.

The door handle is stuck, it's locked from the outside, and it can't be opened from the inside.

Without hesitation, he kicked the door lock with his foot, making a deafening noise. Everyone in the corridor turned to look at the innermost ward.

When they met the gazes of the two menacing men in black at the door, they resentfully pretended not to hear.

The lock on the VIP ward door was quite sturdy.

With one kick, there was no movement. Shang Chen took his hand out of his pocket, stretched his ankle, and kicked again with force. The door lock showed signs of loosening.

He pretended not to hear Shang Mingzhi cursing behind him.

As the third foot was raised, the third person, who had been ignored in the ward, finally spoke, his tone somewhat amused: "Quite unique."

Shang Mingzhi smiled apologetically: "My unfilial son is ignorant, please forgive him, Mr. Ge."

After saying that, she yelled at Shang Chen, "You unfilial son, why don't you come over and greet your sister Qing? She's very capable, you should follow her—"

With a loud bang, the door crashed to the ground.

The bodyguard in black turned around, showing little surprise, but the two of them took a step forward at the same time, blocking his way.

Shang Chen impatiently puffed out his cheeks: "I don't want to fight today, get out of here."

The bodyguard in black didn't make a move.

Seeing the woman behind him raise her hand and wave, giving a clear instruction, they then made way.

Shang Chen left expressionlessly. After entering the elevator, he took out his phone and saw the kitten peeking out emoji sent by Wen Ling. His hardened heart softened a little.

He smiled and said, "Want to have dinner together tonight?"

Wen Ling jumped up from the table with a 'whoosh': [You're back at school so soon?]

Shang Chen: [Yeah, after all, there's a little kitten waiting for me; I can't let her go hungry.]

Wen Ling smiled foolishly and sent another shy kitten emoji.

Suddenly remembering something, she pursed her lips, her face slightly flushed: "Shang Chen, have you ever seen me with makeup on?"

Shang Chen held his phone in both hands and replied to the message: 【No, I wonder if I'll have the honor of seeing this?】

Wen Ling: [Then I'll do my makeup for you today.]

Shang Chen doesn't like saving emojis, so he searched for a long time in the search bar before finding an emoji of a kitten receiving hearts and sent it to her.

I can't wait to see her.

…

In the VIP ward.

Ge Qingqing lit a cigarette and flicked the burnt-out ash with her scarlet fingertips: "President Shang, your son has quite a temper."

Shang Mingzhi still smiled ingratiatingly: "Yes, his family hasn't really taken care of him. Mr. Ge, what do you say, can we still continue discussing the cooperation?"

Ge Qingqing didn't give him much time to suffer, and nodded: "Of course, taming such a temperamental little boy is even more interesting, isn't it?"

…

Shang Chen wasn't sure if he had misheard. He heard Shang Mingzhi call the other party "President Ge," but he didn't recognize him. So he called Ms. Qin directly and asked her bluntly if there was a woman with the surname Ge in the industry.

"Ge Qingqing?"

"I don't know her name," Shang Chen asked, pinching his brow. "How much do you know about her?"

Ms. Qin's tone was full of disgust: "Stay away from her. This woman is sick, both physically and mentally. Don't get involved with her."

Shang Chen remained silent.

Ms. Qin paused for a moment: "Did Shang Mingzhi set a trap for you?"

He grunted in response, and Ms. Qin, unusually, uttered a swear word.

Ge Qingqing is a woman who doesn't discriminate between the sexes, and that's no secret in the industry. She especially loves playing with college boys who are still in school and haven't been corrupted by society yet, because these kinds of people are obedient, easy to satisfy, and easy to train.

She had had designs on Shang Chen for a long time and had even considered making some moves, but he was, after all, the son of the richest man. If things really got out of hand, no matter how powerful she was, she would probably be skinned alive.

Gradually, I only dared to think about it in my dreams.

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn when Shang Mingzhi actually offered his son to her. No matter how tolerant Ge Qingqing was, she couldn't possibly let this opportunity slip away.

It's just a bit more exciting and harder to deal with.

Over the years, she has developed her own set of strategies for dealing with all sorts of people, and she never fights a battle unprepared.
