Cloud Shore Hotel

Lu Xuan was drinking with his friends when the door of the private room was pushed open with a bang, and Jiang Chelin and He Chen walked in together.

Three days later, Jiang Chelin finally found out about him. It seemed that his previous method was quite effective.

Lu Xuan was secretly proud of himself.

He has been very proud these days. Jiang Chelin was made humiliated by him and was scolded by so many unpleasant words, but Jiang Chelin was completely helpless.

When Lu Xuan thought of this, he felt so happy.

When he saw Jiang Chelin coming to his house, he didn't feel scared at all.

He Chen came over, looked at the wine bottle on the table, and sneered, "Brothers, you seem to be drinking happily."

The others were unaware of the situation, and when they saw Jiang Chelin come in, they subconsciously kept silent.

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. He, would you like to have a drink together?"

He Chen waved his hand and knocked over the wine glass that Lu Xuan handed over: "Lu Xuan, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become much braver. You used to avoid us when you saw us, but now you dare to plot against Che Lin behind his back. You are really capable."

Lu Xuan looked puzzled: "What does Mr. He mean by this?"

He Chen scolded, "Stop playing dumb. Che Lin has already found out about your foreign classmate. You must have ordered him to do this."

Lu Xuan continued to deny: "Mr. He, please stop slandering me. I do have classmates from abroad, but you can't say that I instructed him to find someone to slander Jiang just because he and I are classmates, right?"

Jiang Chelin walked over and said coldly, "Did I tell you that your classmate hired someone to slander me?"

Lu Xuan's face froze, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Recently, President Jiang has been in trouble on the Internet. Who doesn't know about this?"

Jiang Chelin looked at him and said impatiently, "Lu Xuan, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Just tell me whether Du Yuanzhe instructed you to do this."

Lu Xuan stood up and said unhappily, "General Jiang, I know you are powerful. No one in our circle dares to disrespect you, but you can't flatter me. I said it had nothing to do with me, but you dragged it to Yuanzhe. What's the matter? Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to throw dirty water on me?"

Pah--

He Chen threw a bottle of wine to the ground, scaring the others so much that they trembled.

"Lu Xuan, I advise you to speak nicely!"

Lu Xuan sneered: "Why? Are you going to beat someone up just because you can't get the upper hand? Come on, beat me up as much as you can. We'll meet at the police station after you're done."

People in their circle usually settle their grudges privately. It would be embarrassing for anyone if they took the matter to the police station.

But Lu Xuan was a reckless man who didn't care about losing face. He knew he couldn't beat Jiang Chelin and the other two, but they couldn't expect to escape unscathed either.

He Chen's face turned livid.

Jiang Chelin stared at Lu Xuan coldly for a while, then turned and left, with He Chen following behind him.

Lu Xuan sat down again and said proudly, "Jiang Chelin is no more than this."

Ten minutes later, Lu Xuan's phone rang.

Father Lu roared, "Get back here right now, you little bastard."

"Okay, Dad."

Lu Xuan put away his phone, smoothed out his wrinkled clothes, and left the box humming a song.

Others looked at him as if he was crazy, wondering if he was stupid and was so happy to be beaten when he got home.

Lu Family

Father Lu was sitting in the living room holding a stick, waiting for Lu Xuan to come back. He was planning to treat Lu Xuan to a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat. Mother Lu advised him: "There may be some misunderstanding here. Don't do anything yet. Ask clearly first."

Father Lu snorted coldly: "That brat only knows how to cause trouble for me. I don't even dare to mess with Jiang Chelin, but he is so good that he confronts Jiang Chelin head-on. He can make things difficult for the company by just making things difficult for us in business."

"It's fine if he doesn't make progress, and I don't count on him. At least my family can support him, but he was too tactless this time. If I don't give Jiang Chelin an explanation, will Jiang Chelin spare our Lu family?"

The more Father Lu thought about it, the angrier he became. His eldest son was not cut out for business. It would have been fine if he was just a useless person under normal circumstances, but now he had caused such a big disaster. He was trying to piss him off to death!

At this time, the sound of a car was heard outside the door. Lu's father knew that Lu Xuan had returned, and looked towards the door with a stern face.

Lu Xuan walked in and said with a smile, "Good evening, Mom and Dad. Have you eaten yet?"

Father Lu stood up and waved his hand vigorously: "Kneel down!"

Lu Xuan knelt down on the carpet very quickly, and his movements were so skillful that it was amazing.

"Dad, I know it must be Jiang Chelin who came to you to complain, but there is another story behind this. Please listen to my explanation first."

Mother Lu immediately said, "I told you there must be a reason. Xuan'er, tell me now."

Father Lu put down his stick and decided not to take any action for the time being.

Lu Xuan said, "Dad, although I have no ability, I dare not cause trouble for you, let alone Jiang Chelin. Yuanzhe asked me to do this, and I just helped him. He and Jiang Chelin are not on good terms, so he wants to embarrass Jiang Chelin."

"I called Yuanzhe on the way here. The Du family will definitely not let us take the blame for nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Lu received a call from Du Yuanwen.

A few minutes later, Father Lu hung up the phone and said with a strange look on his face, "Mr. Xiao Du asked me to meet him tomorrow. He said he had something to discuss."

Lu Xuan said happily: "I knew Yuanzhe was loyal. Dad, can I get up now?"

Father Lu's expression softened: "Get up."

Mother Lu couldn't help but sigh: "I've heard that Mr. Du dotes on his brother. Now it seems to be true."

Just because Du Yuanzhe and Jiang Chelin had a personal grudge, Du Yuanwen went against Jiang Chelin without any scruples. This was too unprincipled.

Father Lu shook his head: "We can't interfere in their affairs. As long as they are protected by the Du family, it won't hurt us."

Father Lu looked at Lu Xuan again and asked in confusion, "When did you become so close to Second Young Master Du?"

Lu Xuan said proudly: "We have a common hobby."

Father Lu was too lazy to ask about his hobbies and said, "Since you have a good relationship with Second Young Master Du, then maintain it well."

......

Flower Lake Apartment

Du Yuanzhe hung up Du Yuanwen's phone and asked, "Will Jiang Chelin be so angry that he can't sleep tonight?"

Just as he was about to deal with the Lu family, the Du family spread the news that they wanted to cooperate with the Lu family, which was basically telling Jiang Chelin that it was Du Yuanzhe who did it.

Xia Ning said: "Jiang Chelin is not someone who is willing to suffer a loss. He will definitely find a way to save face."

Du Yuanzhe looked at Xia Ningmi with a smile: "So I need you to protect me."

Xia Ningmi: "It seems that you have considered everything."

"I'm not that powerful. I just have been on guard against Jiang Chelin from the beginning."

Xia Ningmi said: "As long as you are prepared."

At this moment, Lu Xuan called.

"Hahahaha Yuanzhe, I'm famous. This young master became famous in one battle."

Du Yuanzhe turned on the speaker and said with a smile: "Should I throw a celebration party for you?"

Lu Xuan said: "No, no, I'm a low-key person, just invite a few dozen people for a small gathering."

Du Yuanzhe laughed: "You are really low-key."

Lu Xuan: "Yuanzhe, after this incident, I found that Jiang Chelin is not impossible to provoke, as long as our background is deep enough. For example, your Du family is not afraid of him. In Yancheng, besides the Du family, the only one who can compete with Jiang Chelin is the Xia family."

Du Yuanzhe glanced at Xia Ningmi subconsciously.

Lu Xuan continued, "Yuanzhe, I'm worried that Jiang Chelin will join forces with Xia Ningmi."

"impossible!"

Du Yuanzhe affirmed.

Lu Xuan retorted, "It's very likely! There's something you may not know. Xia Ningmi and Jiang Chelin have a verbal engagement. It was made with Mr. Jiang when Mr. Xia was still alive."

Du Yuanzhe felt uncomfortable after hearing this and frowned, "You said it was a verbal agreement. It's impossible for Xia Ningmi to like Jiang Chelin. Jiang Chelin already has a girlfriend. Obviously, neither of them took it seriously."

Lu Xuan: "Who knows if things will change in the future? In Yancheng circles, Jiang Chelin and Xia Ningmi seem to be separated from us. I thought about their qualifications and they are a perfect match in every aspect. If these two are together, there will be no place for anyone else in Yancheng."

The more Du Yuanzhe listened, the darker his face became: "These are all groundless things."

Lu Xuan sighed: "Yuanzhe, Xia Ningmi is the president of Qianying Entertainment. I wanted you to get the upper hand and win her over to our side, but I asked a few brothers and they all said that Xia Ningmi is so cold that she seems like a different person. She probably doesn't like you."

Du Yuanzhe sneered: "Since you think she looks down on me, what are you still talking about? Hang up now."

beep--

Du Yuanzhe hung up immediately and said through gritted teeth: "I shouldn't have saved Lu Xuan just now. It would be better to let Jiang Chelin teach him a lesson."

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "Thanks to him, I now know your evaluation of me."

Du Yuanzhe's eyes widened: "This does not include me."

Xia Ning looked at him: "When we first met, you thought so too."

【Is there any? 】

Du Yuanzhe had no recollection and said, "That's all in the past. Good kids don't bring up the past. And I haven't said anything about you yet."

"What's wrong with me?"

Du Yuanzhe said unhappily, "How come everyone knows that you and Jiang Chelin have a verbal engagement? It's clearly not a matter of fact, but I'm being made into a third party."

Xia Ning frowned: "What does other people's nonsense have to do with me?"

Du Yuanzhe asked back, "What does it have to do with me if others say you are cold and unpersonal?"

The two looked at each other, and sparks seemed to burst in their eyes.

Xia Ningmi stood up, and Du Yuanzhe was so scared that he quickly stood up and took two steps back, hiding behind the sofa: "Talk nicely, don't use force."

Xia Ning looked at him: "I remember you still owe me a request."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment before he remembered that in the previous "Role Playing" variety show, two people guessed the story line of the county magistrate together, and the loser had to agree to a request.

Du Yuanzhe's face suddenly turned bitter: "Domestic violence is not good."

Xia Ningmi sat down again without saying anything and no longer looking at him.

Du Yuanzhe pursed his lips and said, "Those are irrelevant people. Why do you care about what they say?"

Xia Ning ignored him and turned on the TV, randomly changing channels. No one knew what she wanted to watch. She stayed on each channel for three seconds before switching to the next one.

[What a difficult lady to please]

Du Yuanzhe turned and left the living room.

Xia Ningmi tightly gripped the remote control, her eyes becoming somewhat empty.

"Can I make amends for your crime in another way?"

Xia Ningmi came back to her senses instantly and found that Du Yuanzhe had come back at some point and was standing in front of her with a stack of long notes and a small bowl of water in his hand.

Xia Ning looked at him suspiciously.

Du Yuanzhe moved the tea table back, then sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of Xia Ningmi. He waved the long paper in his hand and said, "You can stick these strips on my face one by one, stick them as many times as you like, until you feel comfortable."

As he spoke, Du Yuanzhe picked up a piece of paper, dipped it in water, and then stuck it on his forehead: "Just like this."

Xia Ning stared at him blankly.

Seeing that she didn't move, Du Yuanzhe was a little disappointed: "It doesn't work?"

[Do I still have to practice judo with her? It will hurt, but she won't go too far. I can bear it and it will pass.]

Du Yuanzhe gritted his teeth and said, "I'll practice with you..."

Xia Ningmi reached forward and put her arms around Du Yuanzhe's neck, interrupting him.

Du Yuanzhe was stunned, his nostrils filled with the scent of Xia Ningmi's hair.

Xia Ningmi buried her head in his shoulder: "Don't you think I'm being unreasonable?"

Du Yuanzhe came back to his senses: "Anyone would get angry if they were told they weren't human. Lu Xuan is my friend, so it's normal for you to vent your anger on me."

"This has nothing to do with you, you don't have to pay attention to me."

Du Yuanzhe blinked and said softly, "But I want to coax you."

【I don't want you to be unhappy】

I want to coax you!

Xia Ningmi hugged Du Yuanzhe tightly, her lips curled up into a big arc, her eyes curved into a crescent, there was not a trace of coldness in her whole body, and dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, which was sweet enough to melt people's hearts.

Du Yuanzhe wanted to watch it very much, but missed it again.

The two hugged for a long time. Du Yuanzhe couldn't help it anymore and whispered, "Well, my feet are numb. Can you hug me after I get up?"

Xia Ningmi let go of Du Yuanzhe and sat up straight again.

Du Yuanzhe was able to move then, and stood up with the help of Cha Ji. The tingling sensation made him grimace in excitement, and he walked back and forth a few steps before he could feel his feet again.

Xia Ningmi picked up the long note he had placed aside and said, "I'm still angry."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Did I hug you for nothing just now?"

"Um?"

Xia Ning raised her eyes to look at him.

That look!

She is still that cold and charming queen.

Du Yuanzhe's heart trembled: "Play, of course you have to play, play until you calm down."

However, he did not sit cross-legged, but chose to sit next to Xia Ningmi.

Du Yuanzhe had never expected that the first time he sat on the same sofa with Xia Ningmi was to help her calm down.

Putting his face in front of her, Du Yuanzhe closed his eyes and said, "Come on."

The note he had just pasted had fallen off, so Xia Ningmi pasted the wet note back on his forehead, then on his left and right cheeks and chin.

If you look closely, they are quite symmetrical.

Du Yuanzhe quietly closed his eyes and saw Xia Ning was still trying to stick to it. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really addicted to this?"

Xia Ningmi put the note on her forehead again: "It's quite fun."

Du Yuanzhe was powerless to complain.

[I'm the one being played, so of course you think it's fun]

Finally, Xia Ningmi covered Du Yuanzhe's entire face before stopping.

If the people in the secretariat saw this, they would be horrified.

Mr. Xia, who has always been particular about efficiency, is actually willing to waste time playing such a boring and uninteresting little game.

It's strange that there is no such thing as the sun rising from the west.

Du Yuanzhe went into the bathroom, tore off the note, washed his face again, and then returned to the living room.

Xia Ningmi has already opened the financial news.

Du Yuanzhe looked at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the evening.

He turned his eyes and called Lu Xuan: "Lu Xuan, do you know how to play PUBG?"

Lu Xuan replied: "Of course."

"That's perfect. I have nothing to do. Let's play a few games in a row. I'm very good at it and I can definitely help you win."

Lu Xuan said happily: "Okay, I'll wait and win."

Xia Ningmi heard the conversation between the two and looked at Du Yuanzhe deeply.

Half an hour later

Lu Xuan said speechlessly: "Yuanzhe, can you please say less?"

One hour later

Lu Xuan's tone was very broken: "Yuanzhe, can we eat chicken in peace?"

Two hours later

Lu Xuan had given up on treatment and begged, "Brother, brother, can you please shut up?"

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "No, I can't control my mouth."

Lu Xuan suffered severe psychological trauma. He had been playing games for several years, but this was the first time he experienced such a thing: every round was a circle of destiny. If he entered the bombing zone, he would be bombed. He would never be able to compete with others for airdrops. If he occupied a point, he would be besieged by at least two teams at the same time.

Lu Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Yuanzhe, my mother called me suddenly, and I have something else to do, so I'm not going to play anymore."

Lu Xuan hung up before Du Yuanzhe could even finish speaking.

Du Yuanzhe felt relieved.

You will always have to pay for your misdeeds.

At this time, Xia Ning said calmly: "You are good at using the crow's mouth."

Du Yuanzhe subconsciously explained: "Lu Xuan is just unlucky. It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Ningmi said: "It is also possible that this is your true skill."

"No way, we weren't so unlucky when we were playing together."

"That's because I'm lucky, which offsets some of my bad luck."

Du Yuanzhe curled his lips, not wanting to admit it, but every time they searched for supplies, it was indeed Xia Ning who found the best things.

[Could it be that this crappy game also bullies the weak and fears the strong? ]

[Huh? Why should I say that?]
