In Buddhism, wealth, sex, food, fame, and sleep are known as the five desires that trouble people, like thorns pricking the skin, hence "Lust's Thorn."
The moment Yun Tan returned...
Chapter 8 Shocking Waves "Lu Wangshan, are you crying?"
Even though Yun Tan finally admitted that he was her ex-boyfriend, Lu Wangshan still didn't feel happy.
Without a word, he took the leash and left with Leo.
Leo was reluctant to leave Yuntan and looked back every few steps, but in the end he obediently went downstairs with Lu Wangshan.
He took Leo home and texted his friend: "Where are you?"
Jin Ci quickly sent a location and asked, "Aren't you on a business trip?"
Jin Ci and Lu Wangshan are good friends who grew up together. A few years ago, they opened a private club called "Yin" in the Second Ring Road. It has a lot of good wines and a good environment, like a private garden.
When Lu Wangshan entertained his partners in Beijing, he would often go to his place, and he and his friends would often hang out there for leisure and entertainment.
When Lu Wangshan reached "Hidden", Jin Ci just came out.
I asked the question that hadn't been answered on my phone: "Did you get back early from your business trip?"
"Um."
Lu Wangshan didn't want to say more and gave the key to the concierge to park the car.
Jin Ci said, "It's quite lively today. Xu Zhi is here, as is your Princess Xiang Wu."
Xiang Wu is Lu Wangshan's cousin and the daughter of Lu's mother, Ms. Xiang Yin's brother.
Their generation consisted of only boys, with the exception of a girl named Xiang Wu. Of course, she was spoiled since childhood and had the temper of an lawless young lady.
Lu Wangshan got a headache when he heard this, and felt that everything went wrong for him today.
The presence of fog is bound to make people dizzy.
"Forget it, I'm leaving now."
Lu Wangshan turned around and was about to leave when Jin Ci stopped him and said with a smile, "I really need you to save the situation today. There's a quarrel going on inside. Otherwise, I'm really afraid Wuwu will burn everything down."
"What is she making a fuss about?"
Jin Ci shrugged: "I don't know. As soon as they came in and saw Xu Zhi, they started arguing."
Lu Wangshan raised his eyebrows.
As the heir of the Zhong family, Zhong Xuzhi has already taken charge of the family's most core industries at a young age. He has a calm, introverted, gentle and noble personality.
It's not surprising that Xiang Wu quarreled, but it's not easy to make Zhong Xuzhi angry.
As expected, Jin Ci added: "Of course, it must be one-sided on the part of our princess."
Lu Wangshan was finally pushed in by Jin Ci.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Xiang Wu wearing a classic Chanel tweed suspender skirt that wrapped around her round and perky buttocks, a pair of knee-high calfskin cigarette boots, and delicate smoky makeup. She looked like an overly attractive and gorgeous flower.
Lu Wangshan and Xiang Wu are indeed cousins. Both have very vivid and three-dimensional facial features, and they both have a bit of the ruffian spirit that makes them look like they can dominate the mountain just by standing there.
But Xiang Wu looked too delicate, with extremely fine and fair skin, which looked like jewelry made of real gold and silver. She was spoiled and willful, which made her look even more naive.
However, Zhong Xuzhi, who was being pressed down by Xiang Wu at this moment, was the complete opposite.
A well-cut dark grey English suit with overly old-fashioned notch lapels, a matching vest, a white shirt and a brown tie underneath, with a tie clip and cufflinks, and even the sleeves were fastened with four buttons.
The scene before my eyes was so shocking.
Xiang Wu knelt on the sofa and started to pinch Zhong Xuzhi's neck.
I'm afraid there is no other person in the entire city of Beijing who dares to be so rude to Zhong Xuzhi.
She was still cursing, her voice full of vigor but unable to conceal her innocent charm: "Do you believe I will strangle you to death and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks?"
Zhong Xuzhi's neat collar was completely messed up by her. He raised his hand and grabbed the woman's soft wrist with one hand, which was enough to stop her movement without using any force. The other hand was blocking her skirt to prevent her from falling or exposing herself if she moved too much.
He spoke calmly, "Xiang Wu, I don't recommend you be so open about your murder methods before you kill someone."
He choked at the fog.
baffling!
Is this stinky man telling a bad joke?!
Behind him, Lu Wangshan felt a headache just by looking at this scene, and he really admired Zhong Xuzhi for not getting angry at all.
He frowned: "Wuwu."
Xiang Wu turned his head, surprised: "Brother? Why are you here? Brother Jin Ci said you were out of town."
Lu Wangshan was already upset enough, and he wanted to go out for a drink, but he didn't expect to run into this annoying Buddha.
"Get off him first," Lu Wangshan said. "Didn't your teachers at school teach you what politeness is?"
He climbed down into the mist, even more furious. He pointed his index finger, which was gleaming with diamonds, at Zhong Xuzhi: "Brother! You should ask him about this! His teacher didn't teach him manners!"
Jin Ci beside him also laughed.
No matter how powerful these young men of the same age are in the outside world, they have to flatter Xiang Wu when they meet him.
"Excuse me Princess Wuwu, how did your brother Xuzhi offend you?" Jin Ci asked.
"He is not my brother!" Xiang Wu corrected.
Jin Ci quickly changed his tone: "Okay, okay, then, how did Zhong Xuzhi offend you?"
Xiang Wu snorted, moved to Lu Wangshan's side, and began to complain loudly: "I have a boyfriend at school, he's so handsome and treats me so well! But Zhong Xuzhi insisted on telling the old man that I'm in a relationship! The old man likes to meddle in my relationships in the first place, and now Zhong Xuzhi has made me almost break up with him!"
Xiang Wu is probably the only person in Beijing who dares to call Xiang Li, the chairman of the Xiang Group, "old man".
Jin Ci asked, "Are you dating someone? Who is it?"
Xiang Wu: "Even if I tell you, you still won't recognize me."
In their circle, everyone knows each other, regardless of whether their personal relationship is good or bad.
Xiang Wu's words only meant that this prince consort was not from this circle.
"Princess, with your wealth, how can any man be worthy of you? Uncle Xiang was right." Jin Ci said.
Xiang Wu looked intimidating, but she was actually quite clear-headed. People in her class valued matching in marriage. Otherwise, as the only daughter of the Xiang family, she would easily meet a Phoenix man who had the ill intention of eating up the whole family.
But she's just in love now! She's just attracted to her beauty! It's not like she's at a disadvantage! What's the problem?
"Is it the old man's business now? It's Zhong Xuzhi who is provoking me now!"
The delicate young lady hugged Lu Wangshan's arm and said, "Brother! You have to avenge me!"
"How do I take revenge? Will I help you kill someone and dispose of the body?" Lu Wangshan pulled his hand back. "Okay, be quiet for a while. Your brother is getting a headache from all the noise you make."
The eldest lady snorted and angrily slammed her back into the soft sofa, staring at Zhong Xuzhi fiercely.
Jin Ci asked someone to bring some wine, then sat down next to Zhong Xuzhi and whispered, "You too, why are you going against this ancestor?"
Zhong Xuzhi met Xiang Wu's burning gaze. He didn't drink alcohol, but tea. He took a sip and smiled with a subtle malice: "It just so happens that I have some free time today."
Jinci has the best tea and the best wine in the world.
Lu Wangshan took out a bottle of Macallan whiskey, picked up a polished ice ball, poured himself a glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow, you drink so fast."
Jin Ci finally turned his attention to him now, "What are you worried about?"
Lu Wangshan said nothing and took out a cigarette box.
Xiang Wu immediately sat up: "Can you please stop smoking? It smells terrible!"
Lu Wangshan rarely smokes, and only smokes when he is upset or sleepy. His cigarettes are also custom-made, mixed with subtle woody aroma, and the aftertaste is rich in spicy and astringent taste, which is relatively not so pungent.
He was too lazy to praise his own princess and ordered her to leave: "When are you leaving?"
Xiang Wucai didn't leave. She thought there was melon to eat today, so she walked to the other side and sat down.
He moved closer to Zhong Xuzhi and moved his butt.
"Brother, are you annoyed by the blind date that your aunt and uncle arranged for you to go on?" Xiang Wu asked.
Jin Ci said, "I remember Aunt Xiang was very open-minded. Wangshan refused a few times and then stopped talking about it. I'm really envious! With a mother like this, what else is there to worry about?"
Xiang Wu judged others by his own experience: "So, are you heartbroken? Or did you have a fight? You must be secretly in a relationship too!"
This state is obviously caused by lovesickness.
Jin Ci laughed and said, "Are you kidding me, Wuwu? Do you want to take a good look at your brother's conditions? How could he possibly be heartbroken?"
"Brother Jin Ci, what you said is wrong. Why should every girl like my brother just because he's rich, handsome, has personality, and has good taste? Maybe the girl doesn't like this type of guy at all! Nowadays, many girls like men who are calm and down-to-earth and speak softly. My brother may be handsome, but he doesn't look like someone who can live a down-to-earth life."
Xiang Wu kept talking and didn't notice that Lu Wangshan's face looked not very good.
She continued to add evidence, "Besides, it's not like my brother hasn't been dumped before!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Xuzhi and Jin Ci turned their heads to look at her.
Jin Ci: "Who?! Who is so bold! How come I never knew about this!"
Xiang Wu paused and realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.
Looking at Lu Wangshan, her brother tilted his head towards her, silently signaling her to continue speaking in a deterrent way.
"...I, I just heard about it from my second brother by chance. Maybe the news is wrong." Xiang Wu chuckled.
"Second brother" refers to Lu Shiyue, Lu Wangshan's younger brother who is four years younger than him.
No one knew about what happened between him and Yuntan back then.
Yun Tan said she didn't want others to know, so Lu Wangshan really didn't tell anyone.
But one time, he was caught by Lu Shiyue who suddenly returned home.
Lu Wangshan was really annoyed: "You've been so free lately, when are you going to move my clothes away?"
Xiang Wu moved some time ago and had no place to put some of his clothes, so he sent them to Lu Wangshan's place nearby. Unexpectedly, they took up an entire cloakroom.
Xiang Wu blinked: "Are you really in love? Are you affecting your girlfriend's clothes storage?"
Lu Wangshan frowned and said warningly, "Towards the fog."
Xiang Wu made a zippering gesture at his mouth to indicate that he was shutting up.
…
Seeing that Lu Wangshan was so tight-lipped, Xiang Wu knew that he would not be able to find out any gossip, so he soon left without interest.
Jin Ci was still shocked by what Xiang Wu had just said: "So, you've really been dumped before?"
Lu Wangshan poured himself another glass of wine and said "hmm" lightly.
I don’t deny it.
Jin Ci's eyes widened: "Who is it?"
"You don't know him."
Another sentence you don’t know.
Why do these two siblings like to date people outside the circle?
"I don't know if it's polite or not, but I'm really curious. Why did that girl dump you?"
Lu Wangshan actually chuckled softly, then spat out three words: "Impolite."
“…”
Jin Ci was still very considerate and did not continue to ask about the brotherhood. In short, there was plenty of wine.
They didn't actually continue talking about relationships afterwards. It was too hypocritical for three grown men to get together and talk about relationships.
Lu Wangshan has a good alcohol tolerance and is a good drinker. He is always calm and chats with them with a clear mind.
It was after he suddenly fell silent for a few minutes that Jin Ci turned his head and found that he was drunk.
They grew up together, but it was rare to see Lu Wangshan drunk.
If you drink whiskey with such a high alcohol content as water, you will get drunk no matter how good your alcohol tolerance is.
But Jin Ci really couldn't imagine who could have harmed Lu Wangshan into this state.
He asked someone to find a safe and reliable designated driver.
When he was helping Lu Wangshan out, Jin Ci heard him whisper to himself, "Can't you just love me?"
Jin Ci's eyes widened in shock at the amount of information hidden in these words.
This, this, this...
Did Lu Wangshan meet the Sea Queen?!
Jin Ci helped him into the car, and finally told the designated driver not to listen to anything he shouldn't listen to and not to talk too much, and asked him to take Lu Wangshan home.
-
Yun Tan received a call from Lu Wangshan after he had sent his colleagues away and cleaned the house.
Although she was the one who wronged Lu Wangshan in the beginning, she was still angry when Lu Wangshan acted like that in front of so many of her colleagues today.
Doesn’t he already have a girlfriend?
Why is he still insisting on being her ex-boyfriend in front of others?
Yuntan had a hunch that if this continued, their relationship would cross the line.
She didn't answer the first call.
But the second call came right after.
Yun Tan looked at the numbers jumping on the phone screen and picked up the phone after more than ten seconds.
Before he could speak, Lu Wangshan asked, "Is Ding Mian your boyfriend?"
His voice was extremely hoarse, filled with reckless anger and grievance.
Yun Tan frowned: "You've drunk too much."
Lu Wangshan insisted on the answer and repeated, "Is Ding Mian your boyfriend?"
"Is it interesting?"
Yuntan sat at the head of the bed, looking at the bright crescent moon outside the window. Her colleagues and Leo had all left, and it seemed too quiet here.
"Lu Wangshan, you already have a girlfriend, so why are you calling me so late?"
Her voice was so cold that it turned into countless sharp swords, tearing apart Lu Wangshan's burning rationality.
"I don't have a girlfriend. I've never had one!" He was enraged and became even more stubborn. "Is Ding Mian your boyfriend or not?"
Yuntan didn't say anything.
Lu Wangshan's eyes turned red almost instantly: "I have never taken Leo to see other women, how could you let him see other men?!"
The drunk Lu Wangshan became the most wronged and pitiful person in the world.
Not only is he obsessed with being Yuntan's ex-boyfriend, he is also childishly obsessed with being Leo's only father.
"Leo can only have me as his father! He can't have another father!"
He blurted out in a rage, "Yun Tan, who do you think you are! Do you think I'm like Leo, who has to fawn over you as long as you come back? But what do you take me for? Was it because of Ding Mian that you left, and was it because of him that you came back?!"
Only at this moment did Yun Tan understand what made Lu Wangshan angry.
Her heart suddenly ached and she softened.
"No." Her voice became softer. "He's not my boyfriend, and Leo doesn't like him."
Yuntan lowered his eyes.
The two finally unfolded the devastated picture of the past.
"I'm sorry, Lu Wangshan. It was my fault back then. You have every right to hate me. You can scold me."
Lu Wangshan calmed down, leaving only the rising and falling breathing.
He suddenly felt very bored.
It was as if all these years, his passionate love could not warm Yuntan.
He would rather Yun Tan had a good quarrel with him, in the most undignified way, so that he could burn out all the hatred.
It's better than all these years, when he hated but couldn't hate completely, couldn't let go but couldn't let go, and couldn't love willingly.
Those words he said to Leo in the past were actually spoken to himself.
Leo, stop thinking about her.
Lu Wangshan, don't think about her anymore.
But Leo couldn't do it, and neither could Lu Wangshan.
Yuntan heard the sound of wind, the sound of a lighter, and some more secretive and obscure sounds from his end.
She swallowed hard, her throat becoming more and more blocked, and the words lingered on her lips for a long time.
She couldn't say anything until Lu Wangshan hung up the phone silently.
However, that shouldn't be possible.
