Chapter 158 Can I Get Rid of Them?
Su Cheng distanced herself from him without leaving any trace, raised her eyes and looked at him with a calm expression, "If I remember correctly, your name is Ji..."
"Ji Heng." The man smiled ostentatiously, his narrow eyes sweeping across her face. "I'm lucky that Miss Zhao still remembers me."
Su Cheng curled his lips, took the dirty kitten into his arms, and looked him up and down. "After all, you are the first man I have ever met who is so ignorant of etiquette, so naturally I am more impressed."
Ji Heng's expression changed slightly, but he didn't show any annoyance at all. Instead, the curve of his lips deepened. "How can I leave an impression on Miss Zhao without using some tricks?"
After he finished speaking, he leaned closer to her, smiling faintly, "Did you take my words to heart that day, young lady?"
"My lady, would you like to pick this wild flower of mine or not?"
Su Cheng didn't like his approach, so she dodged sideways, her eyes darkening a little. "Are you like this to every woman?"
"Of course not." Ji Heng denied it flatly, a smile glittering in his eyes. "Although I work in a brothel, I only sell my art and not my body, so I can keep my innocence for my future wife."
"Ah Cheng."
A man's clear voice sounded from the door. Su Cheng looked back and saw Xie Jinyu's handsome and gentle smiling face.
"Is this your friend?" Xie Jinyu stretched her long legs and slowly walked down the stone steps, the corners of her lips slightly raised, but there was no smile in her phoenix eyes.
Another handsome man.
There was a flash of surprise in Ji Heng's eyes. He looked at Xie Jinyu calmly, and glanced at Su Cheng with a serious expression.
The man I saw last time was already a rare talent, and the man in front of me was even more rare in the world.
This woman is so capable...
Su Cheng shook his head and answered truthfully, "We're not really friends, just casual acquaintances."
"A chance encounter? Miss, that's a bit too cold." Ji Heng frowned slightly, a playful smile on his lips, "We've been entangled in the brothel for a long time, why are you turning your back on me now?"
"I've been thinking about you all the time, every day."
A light laugh came from behind him, and Su Cheng's body froze instantly.
"Brothel?" Xie Jinyu seemed to have heard something absurd. A cold light flashed across his calm and handsome face. He smiled handsomely and spoke slowly, "Have you ever been to that kind of place?"
“I didn’t…”
Su Cheng was about to open his mouth to explain, but Ji Heng interrupted him, "Come to think of it, this young man seems different from the one I met that day."
Xie Jinyu lowered her eyes and smiled, then slowly walked up to him. Ji Heng then realized that the person in front of him was actually half a head taller than him.
"Are you trying to sow discord between me and Ah Cheng?" Xie Jinyu asked directly with a smile in her eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Heng's face, then he curled his lips into a smile and said nonchalantly, "What do you mean, sir? I was just stating a few facts."
Xie Jinyu smiled without saying a word and stared at him quietly.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Su Cheng held the kitten in one hand and held his arm with the other. She shook her head slowly and said softly, "I didn't."
Xie Jinyu still had the same expression, gentle and kind, as if she had no temper at all.
Su Cheng looked at his eyebrows and swallowed involuntarily.
The third brother is quiet, he must be up to something.
I'm not afraid of Xie Jinyu getting furious, I'm just afraid that Xie Jinyu will smile in front of people but sharpen the knife behind their backs.
Based on her understanding of Mr. Xie Sanye, if Ji Heng provokes her again, he will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
"Xie Jinyu, let's ignore him." Su Cheng tugged at his sleeve, her tone unusually gentle, with a hint of coquettishness, "Let's go home. Yueya'er's leg is injured. You take a look at it."
Xie Jinyu looked at her deeply, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and whispered, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After saying that, the two of them turned sideways and prepared to leave, completely ignoring Ji Heng behind them.
But Ji Heng would never miss this opportunity to alienate the two of them, so he smiled and said, "Miss Zhao."
Su Cheng paused and turned to look at him.
Ji Heng shrugged at her, smiling, "If you need anything, you can come to Hualou to find me. I can do much more than others."
Su Cheng keenly noticed that the air around him had become colder, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the man standing next to him.
Xie Jinyu slowly turned around, looked at him with a smile, and said in a deep voice, "What can you do? Tell me one by one."
Ji Heng blinked at him desperately, not at all afraid of the weak man in front of him, and said loudly, "Of course I know some things that you don't, such as...serving women."
Xie Jinyu pursed her lips and sneered, her eyes dark as she fixed her gaze on him. A flash of murderous intent flashed through her eyes. "You are very courageous."
"Xie Jinyu!" Su Cheng glared at Ji Heng secretly, and her soft hands slipped into his palms, saying soothingly, "Go back first, I'll explain to you later."
Xie Jinyu's eyes passed over Ji Heng with a searching look, then she turned around and returned to Zhao's house without saying a word.
Su Cheng glanced at Ji Heng and saw that the latter was waving at her shamelessly as if nothing had happened. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and turned away.
In a moment, another figure appeared at the door of the Zhao family.
"Heng, I found Zhang Yuemei."
Ji Heng's eyes lit up, and he turned around in an instant, leaving only one sentence, "You hide near this family. If there is anything wrong, send a message to me immediately."
"yes."

Lixiangyuan
Crescent Moon lay quietly in the man's palm, purring comfortably from time to time.
Xie Jinyu lowered her eyebrows, dipped the medicine on her fingertips, and carefully applied it on the cat's legs. She moved very gently, for fear of hurting it.
The courtyard was silent, yet there was a sense of calm before the storm.
Su Cheng cautiously glanced at the man beside him, seeing his tense jaw and sullen face, he laughed dryly twice. After he finished applying the medicine to Yueyaer, he whispered, "Xie Jinyu, I really met that Ji Heng by chance. It's not like what he said at all."
"We met by chance, but I still remember his name." Xie Jinyu lowered her head and wiped her fingertips with a handkerchief, her expression gloomy. "Ah Cheng has a good memory."
"I..." Su Cheng opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain, "It's such an obvious attempt to sow discord, can't you see it?"
"I can see that." Xie Jinyu raised her eyes, her dark pupils swirling with emotions that others couldn't understand. "But I just can't control my temper. Ah Cheng... I can also serve others."
His tone sounded aggrieved and pitiful, as if he was willing to be abused by his sweetheart and didn't want Su Cheng to look at anyone else.
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and the scene of the original owner climbing onto the bed and being discovered by Xie Jinyu, and being thrown out with the quilt, emerged in his mind.
At that time, Xie Jinyu was high and mighty, and treated the original owner as air. How could she look like someone so soft and easily pushed down?
"Ah Cheng, can you please stop provoking others?" The coldness in Xie Jinyu's eyes melted away, leaving only a clear spring. He placed her palm against his chest and looked at her eagerly, "I feel really bad."
Su Cheng felt his heartbeat beneath the fabric, turned his face away slightly, and blushed, "It's not like I want to provoke..."
"What about my second brother and Ah Ming?" Xie Jinyu leaned close to her, with endless attachment in his eyes, like a coyote with its claws hidden, coaxing the ignorant and naive sheep in front of him.
"Acheng, can you dump them and just be with me?"
