Chapter 42 Fried Rice Stall
【Xiaolin~ Nobody wants to play with me, I'm so sad, waaaaaah! Can you invite me to your house? (ps: I made a promise with Chengcheng! I'm going to your house tomorrow, no excuses allowed)】
Sending complete.
Su Yunruo tossed her phone aside, propped her cheek on her hand, and asked Jiang Chunrou, "What did you just say? Continue."
Jiang Chunrou: "I said the person whose real name is verified on the xxx backend is Lin Yuanzhou, who shares the same surname as the general manager of the agency that distributes 'KILL', and is also Lin Xingsen's father."
Su Yunruo had arranged for Jiang Chunrou to investigate this matter beforehand. Checking the backend with Orange Video would take some time, and coincidentally, Orange Video replied the day after the two returned from City A.
"Aww—"
"As for the mysterious person who provided Xiao Ou with the information, she said it was a woman, but she didn't know her name and had only contacted her online."
"That Xiao Ou hasn't improved at all. He's been fooled twice already and still trusts others so easily."
Jiang Chunrou paused in her typing, sensing the other meaning in his words, "What do you think?"
“If I were a person with a strong sense of morality, and if I caused trouble for someone, as long as I had even a little bit of guilt, I would pay extra attention to everything about that person.” Su Yunruo raised her hand and slammed it on the table, tapping it. “I probably wouldn’t get any information by asking directly, but I already have a general idea of who it is.”
After saying that, he lowered his voice and muttered, "His behavior has the air of a successor to socialism."
Jiang Chunrou was nearby and happened to hear it.
"?"
"That's it. Forget about xxx. Go and contact other girls and see if any of them are willing to testify against Zhou Kantian. We can discuss the terms."
Jiang Chunrou nodded, picked up her laptop, and went out to find everyone to hold a meeting.
Su Yunruo looked at her phone, waiting for Lin Xingsen to reply.
Perhaps due to the continuous recollection over a long period of time, her brain cells, which had been lost for many years, reorganized, and she was able to recall some fragmented memories of the past.
Although she met Miao Xiaoyun with the intention of making empty promises, there was one thing she didn't lie about.
She was indeed sent abroad to study shortly after birth for some special reasons, which in China would be called "skipping grades." She had a gap period of not too short or too long before entering university.
Su's father, thinking that she had nothing better to do anyway, let her return to China.
Suzhou Zhongyuan International School, a private school named after her great-grandfather, is actually backed by her family. It covers kindergarten to junior high school, and in addition to the regular domestic curriculum, it also has an international section.
Su Yunruo was admitted to the school to "fill the vacancies left by transfer students".
The international department has a complex curriculum, special classrooms, and a separate building.
The students who are seriously preparing for the college entrance examination are in another building.
During the break after the exam results came out, I suddenly heard a few people in my class saying they were going to go play with people from other classes.
Su Yunruo followed as well.
When she arrives in a new place, she is usually not in a hurry to make friends and prefers to be a bystander first.
Several international students skipped and ran into a classroom, heading towards a plain-looking boy with glasses in the middle of the room.
Those ugly mouths said they wanted to be friends with the guy with glasses, and they went up to him, putting their arms around his shoulders and flipping through his notebook.
"Hey, you study so hard, how come you didn't get first place in the grade?"
"My brother Chen is awesome, he even takes notes so seriously."
"Brother, I have a few questions I can't answer today, can you help me?"
A human wall formed in the classroom, and everyone watched the bullying in silence.
Su Yunruo, having witnessed countless battles between adults, found the children's behavior childish. If a few words and a few shoves could demonstrate one's "power," then the world would surely be forever at peace.
However, she suddenly thought of Lin Yuanzhou—Su Yunruo had already seen his name on the ranking list at the cafeteria entrance.
Every year, Su Zhongyuan has impoverished students who enter the school with high scholarships. Su Yunruo doesn't even need to check; just by standing below the academic rankings, she can hear others saying, "This time, the impoverished student is number one again."
Will he also be bullied by these people?
Of course not—
Just then, Lin Yuanzhou returned from outside the classroom.
That was the first time Su Yunruo saw him. He had a simple buzz cut, thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, and dark skin. He looked like he was from a military unit, exuding a strong and righteous aura.
Moreover, she was exceptionally tall. Girls typically grow taller around the age of junior high school, and Su Yunruo had grown to 175 cm, which was considered quite tall for this southern school. Lin Yuanzhou's appearance made her feel as if she had returned to a foreign country, surrounded by muscular men who were almost 2 meters tall.
These short guys, who were probably no taller than 1.8 meters, tried to flirt with him, but he blocked them with one arm.
"I'm not used to strangers touching me."
"Hey, don't be so aloof, let's be friends."
"If you disturb my studies again, I will report you to the principal's office."
"Laozi..."
He said seriously, "I don't want to fight."
"..."
Su Yunruo later learned from her classmates that at the beginning of the semester, these few classmates had led a group to ambush Lin Yuanzhou. They probably thought he was an easy target because he looked fierce but was a poor student.
As a result, Lin Yuanzhou demonstrated his excellent skills in fighting thugs in the urban village, while the others had a numerical advantage, and neither side gained an advantage.
The original plan was to punish both sides equally before addressing the instigator, but the teacher favored the international students, and in the end only Lin Yuanzhou received a demerit.
Lin Yuanzhou was not satisfied and targeted the troublemakers, attacking them every time he saw them. He wrote self-criticisms and asked his parents to come every day, but even during breaks he would come to the international section to fight, as if he had transferred the tenacity he used for studying to revenge.
This matter escalated and reached the principal's ears. The principal didn't know what to do, since Lin Yuanzhou's grades remained unchanged despite the fight, and the teacher's actions were also unethical. So, the principal reported it to Su Yunruo's father.
His father gave both of them disciplinary action, and only then was Lin Yuanzhou's revenge barely considered over.
Su Yunruo spent several days at home pondering the logic before finally understanding why her father wanted her to come back.
Isn't the problem of school violence something that can only be addressed from within?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend; having friends makes things easier when you're traveling.
So when the troublemaker saw that she was beautiful and had long legs, he became so emboldened that he spread rumors that she was dating him, causing everyone to call her sister-in-law. When someone asked Su Yunruo to confirm whether she was really dating the troublemaker, Su Yunruo replied: "No, my boyfriend is Lin Yuanzhou."
Not only did they spread the rumor, but they also went too far. Abandoning the roadside spying route, they went to sit openly next to his mother's fried rice stall and watched her.
"I was wondering why I always smelled something on you at school. Turns out it's because you're here making fried rice every day after school."
Lin Yuanzhou didn't even know her name at the time, but he wasn't annoyed when he heard her say that. "According to my investigation, wearing nice clothes can increase sales of fried rice."
She then threw out a trap, saying, "If you moved your stall from the roadside to your old junior high school, changed the sign on your vehicle to 'Top Scholar Fried Rice,' and added your high school entrance exam score, I think your sales could double."
The following evening, Su Yunruo failed to catch anyone at the original stall location.
On the morning of the third day, as soon as Su Yunruo got out of the car, she saw Lin Yuanzhou standing at the school gate. Upon seeing her, he pulled out two large bills from his pocket.
“I did make a lot of money yesterday when I set up a stall outside the junior high school. This is my reward.”
Su Yunruo certainly wouldn't accept money; it was only a small amount!
"Can you pay me monthly? Otherwise you'll have to wait for me at the school gate every day."
"I won't go next time. Your payment is only for yesterday."
Su Yunruo finally got what she wanted: "What, are you ashamed to show your face in front of your former teachers and juniors?"
“No,” he shook his head and explained, “because teachers usually choose to cook at home, and most parents don’t allow their children to eat out casually. I think my market should continue to target workers.”
“Workers eat a lot but are underpaid. Why not consider selling to office workers, making simple meals, packaging them nicely, and arranging the dishes attractively? The price could double.”
"Office workers don't eat at roadside stalls."
"Then why don't you buy a shop and open a store? You don't want to run a roadside stall for the rest of your life, do you? Your mother will be so tired when you're not around."
"I have no money."
"Didn't you get a scholarship when you enrolled? What's the use of keeping the money in the bank? You might as well use it to start a business."
It's quite absurd that two people would seriously discuss how to run a fried rice stall at the school gate.
But Su Yunruo found it very interesting; she loved discussing how to make money with people.
...
【You come】
Lin Xingsen typed those two simple words in the chat box for a very long time.
Su Yunruo placed her fingers on the side of the phone and rotated it around like stirring something.
She wondered, how could Lin Yuanzhou still have the nerve to see her?
The person who rejected her actually dared to jump in front of her and even pretend to be a Minion?
A gentleman would not leave this grudge unavenged.
Hey, she said she was going, but she just wouldn't go, saying she didn't have time, and then the gossip accounts exposed her for visiting other film sets and hanging out with other friends.
Just as she was plotting how to deliver a fatal blow to this old acquaintance, the receptionist knocked on the door and came in, saying that a Miss Ning wanted to see her.
*
Ning Yu was led into the office by a polite receptionist.
The place isn't big, and it doesn't have any fancy office furniture; it's just ordinary, like a teacher's office.
Su Yunruo sat on the sofa, filled a paper cup halfway with boiled water, and looked at her with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Su."
"Please sit down."
To be honest, Su Yunruo really has an intimidating presence. She has a delicate, innocent face that leaves an impression of being like a delicate flower in everyone's mind, but in reality, she is quite large.
Ning Yu couldn't help but wonder if he could win her over using the methods that man had taught him.
"Miss Ning, what brings you here?"
Never mind.
She collapsed from the sofa to the floor, kneeling and moving to Su Yunruo's feet, tears welling in her eyes. "Miss Su, please help me! I really don't want those videos to be released. I don't want to be watched like Miao Xiaoyun."
"Can I ask you one more question? Why did you suddenly change your mind and come to see me?"
"..."
Ning Yu was stumped by the question. She thought Su Yunruo would be happy that she had changed her mind and would be able to get straight to the point and discuss terms immediately.
"I...I..."
Before I could figure it out, someone knocked on the door. Three knocks, click, and I opened the door and came in.
Ning Yu followed Su Yunruo's gaze and saw the female secretary who had been following Su Yunruo earlier approaching with a notebook in her arms.
Female secretary: "This... Miss Su..."
"It's definitely not what you think! Chunrou, my darling, let me explain."
"But she..."
"Zhou Kantian contacted me again!" Ning Yu thought of an excuse during this little episode. As tears streamed down her face, she thought about the repeated setbacks she had faced since entering the entertainment industry, and her emotions inexplicably became more sincere. "When I was on set, I... they all wanted me to sleep with them. If I didn't want to, they would stop my scenes. I had no choice. I didn't want to act in those cheap, vulgar web dramas. They would only make me wear very little clothing and do erotic scenes, and at dinners, they would intentionally or unintentionally force me to drink... I didn't want that. So... so I thought that since I was going to sleep with them anyway, I would just pick a good-looking and rich one from among the ugly ones. I didn't have a video call with Zhou Kantian at first. He secretly filmed me with a webcam, and after filming me, he threatened me to continue filming those things..."
"What you're saying only makes me feel like you're having a fair trade."
"Waaah...those people...those people all just want to see me as a copy of you, making me constantly imitate you when filming. They all imagine me as you, but I'm not myself at all. Everyone just wants to use me as a substitute..."
Ning Yu's voice stopped abruptly.
She was led astray by Su Yunruo and tried her best to prove her innocence, but she didn't expect to say the wrong thing. She quickly corrected herself, "I was bewitched and thought that it would only be done once."
"Don't blame me for so many reasons. Even if you were coerced, it was those people who coerced you, it has nothing to do with me."
"I……"
"Actually, you just want to squeeze into the top tier by any means necessary. If you want to do it, then do it. Whatever your appearance can get you is up to you. If you have the mind to be a winner, you also need to have the courage to be a loser."
Ning Yu stumbled backward.
She began to suspect that the man was lying to her. Su Yunruo not only didn't respond to being soft-hearted, but she also didn't fight back. Ning Yu's usual tearful tactics on men had no effect at all.
"Ms. Ning, just answer me directly: are you willing to risk having the video exposed to stand up and testify against Zhou Kantian? If you are willing to come out, I guarantee you can be the second female lead in my next drama."
Ning Yu gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, "I don't want the video to be exposed."
"Too many people have seen that video. With the internet so developed now, no one can guarantee that a video will never be discovered."
"Then do your best."
Su Yunruo asked in confusion, "Is there a difference?"
Ning Yu swallowed hard. "They probably saved the video to USB drives or hard drives. I just need you to help me destroy it."
"I can't do it."
Ning Yu panicked, "At least...at least...at least they don't dare to release the video for now."
"We dare not release the video..."
Su Yunruo repeated the sentence, thought for a moment, and said, "I can agree to that."
After saying that, he turned around and instructed Jiang Chunrou, "Chunrou, my dear, it's not kind of Miss Ning to make this trip, please buy her a first-class ticket back to City A."
Jiang Chunrou nodded, got up and went to call the front desk to ask Ning Yu to leave.
Ning Yu turned around several times, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Jiang Chunrou's "please". She was finally relieved to hear "keep in touch".
Close the door.
Su Yunruo and Jiang Chunrou remained silent in the office for a long time.
Just as noon was approaching, the young woman from the secretary's office knocked on the door to ask what she wanted to eat for lunch. Jiang Chunrou casually ordered a few dishes, and the office fell into endless silence once again.
Seeing Su Yunruo deep in thought and looking heartbroken, Jiang Chunrou put herself in her shoes and considered the implications. Ning Yu's words had a subtle implication, as if she had suffered a great deal of harm on Su Yunruo's behalf. Su Yunruo was a person with a strong sense of crisis. Since the video and the AI face swap, she had been constantly reminded that countless pairs of eyes with evil intentions were silently watching her in the darkness. She was probably somewhat terrified.
The water in Su Yunruo's hand was colder than her hand. Jiang Chunrou reached out to grab her cup, "Let me pour you a fresh one."
"There was coercion, and there are witnesses..."
"Don't be too sad, I will help you avoid this kind of thing."
"Great! We can file a rape lawsuit now, and the chances of success are extremely high."
"..."
Su Yunruo placed the quilt on the table herself, so excited she almost jumped up.
Jiang Chunrou sighed, realizing that she had misjudged him again.
“Chunrou, my dear, you need to find a lawyer now… Oh, no need, I have an investment law firm. I’ll give you their number later, you can just give them a call.”
She grabbed her handbag. "That's all for now! I'm going back."
Su Yunruo's life has been much less entertaining lately. Opening Weibo mostly brings bad news about herself, and opening WeChat is also bothering her with the Zhou Kantian and Miao Xiaoyun incident.
At least every mess has been resolved. She might not be able to fulfill Ning Yu's requests, but Grandpa Miao could, since he had the exact same demands as Ning Yu.
By the time Ning Yu files the lawsuit, there will be a long time before the trial begins. If she drags it out until Zhou Kantian's reputation collapses and a certain part of the plot is over, she will have enough points to modify Zhou Kantian's ending.
Ning Yu is free, Old Master Miao is satisfied, Cheng the Skinflint has taken over, everything is going smoothly!
Zi—
Lin Xingsen: [What time tomorrow?]
Su Yunruo raised her hand to rest on the car window, and unconsciously chuckled.
What time?
Let's do it around 7 a.m.
Winter has arrived, and the weather is cold.
7 o'clock.
Lin Xingsen: [So early?]
Su Yunruo: [Is it inconvenient for family members to come?]
The other end typed for several minutes unilaterally, finally replying: "No, it's not inconvenient."
The next morning at 6:50, Su Yunruo sent Lin Xingsen a message as planned: "Something came up, I'll come to your house tomorrow."
The message was sent out intentionally, and the person had even booked a car to visit Ke Jinyang's film set, but things happened suddenly.
Su Yunruo received a call from Grandpa Miao in the morning, saying that there were some things that needed to be discussed in person.
She thought it was about going abroad, so she went straight to the Miao family's old house without any preparation.
However, the first thing I heard from Grandpa Miao was, "Xiaoyun has decided to sue Zhou Kantian."
Cheng Bapi was also there, having arrived earlier than her. He must have already learned about everything, so he nodded and sighed.
Seeing her friend's expression and Miao Xiaoyun's huddled position in the chair, Su Yunruo guessed that it was probably Grandpa Miao's insistence.
Grandpa Miao said, "This time it was Han Shicheng's mother who called me. She brought up the matter of cooperation between the two families. Her words implied that since Xiaoyun had already exposed her relationship with Zhou Kantian, we should go with the flow and get married. The bride price and wedding can be discussed later."
"What do you think?" Su Yunruo asked Miao Xiaoyun.
Grandpa Miao slammed his hand on the table. "What else could she be thinking! I will absolutely not allow Zhou Kantian to step into my house."
Miao Xiaoyun shuddered in fright and shook her head frantically, "I...I won't get married."
"That means they've filed a lawsuit."
Her mind raced. Grandpa Miao's unexpected action coincided with some aspects of her plan; it was as if heaven was helping her.
"..."
"On what grounds? The most troublesome thing about your relationship with Zhou Kantian is that he deceived your feelings, but deceiving feelings does not constitute a legal crime."
Miao Xiaoyun moved her lips.
Su Yunruo sighed, "Grandpa, my suggestion is to let Miao Xiaoyun go abroad."
Grandpa Miao slammed his fist on the table again, “We Miao people don’t cower in fear.”
"But when the turtle sticks out its head, it has no head."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Su Yunruo revealed her plan, "I have a way to convict Zhou Kantian without Miao Xiaoyun's involvement, and to put him in a very difficult position."
Grandpa Miao, who had been hesitant because of Su Yunruo's scheme, felt like he had been given a new lease on life. "What method?"
“There is a girl who was repeatedly forced to have sex after being secretly filmed by Zhou Kantian. She can be sued for rape.”
Grandpa Miao asked anxiously, "How can I contact her?"
"After my efforts to communicate with her, she agreed to help me file a lawsuit."
Grandpa Miao slammed his hand on the table. “Fine! I’ll find her a legal team.”
Su Yunruo shook her head. "The legal team isn't the main point. She has a small request."
"Any price is fine."
"Money is one aspect."
"Is there something else? Don't push your luck!"
Su Yunruo said softly, "Actually, her request is not excessive, and it is consistent with your request, sir."
Grandpa Miao asked in confusion, "My request?"
"She wants all the videos in Zhou Kantian's possession to be destroyed, including those that Zhou Kantian sent to his friends and those that his friends have."
"..."
Su Yunruo smiled. "Don't you want to destroy all of Miao Xiaoyun's videos?"
Of course, Grandpa Miao wanted to, but he wasn't a child. He knew that with cloud storage technology so advanced now, the video simply couldn't be destroyed.
“Let’s try a different approach. Since we can’t control them from storing the videos, let’s make sure they never dare to release them.” Su Yunruo’s gaze fell on Grandpa Miao’s hand. “Grandpa, have you been dealing with civilized people for too long and forgotten how to reason with thugs?”
Grandpa Miao was stunned and looked down at his hand, which had lost half a finger.
Suddenly, he let out a soft, dreamy laugh.
His murky eyes gleamed with the fierce spirit he had forged in his youth, through countless punches and kicks.
...
Zhou Kantian first noticed that the group chat had been disbanded, and while he was wondering what was going on, he discovered that all the videos he had saved were gone.
They're gone!
I can't even find it in the recycle bin.
That was his secret weapon for winning over all women!
Zhou Kantian thought that others might be able to reach him, so he quickly called them, but every call went unanswered.
Something's not right.
Something's not right.
He quickly mobilized his network of connections to find information about these "rich kids," and finally learned from a nightclub manager with whom he had a slightly better relationship that they had drunk too much the night before and gotten into a fight that led to a chaotic brawl, resulting in several serious injuries.
Nightclubs are frequented by celebrities; they wouldn't dare install cameras there, and even if they did, they'd likely be faulty. Therefore, figuring out who exactly committed the act is extremely difficult.
Zhou Kantian inquired about the injured and learned that they were all rich kids from the group. One of them was trampled during the chaos and was seriously injured; he was still in the ICU. The others were also seriously injured, with one even facing the risk of amputation.
This accident came suddenly, but it was also reasonable. Fights often break out when people get drunk at nightclubs.
Zhou Kantian found it strange, though. They were the ones who had beaten others into the hospital before, so why were they the ones who got into trouble this time? They were VIPs at the nightclub, and everyone who went there knew they were not to be trifled with.
Zhou Kantian wanted to visit him in the hospital to build a better relationship and gather information, but he still couldn't get through to him on the phone. The nightclub manager was also asked to pass on a message to him: "Don't contact me again."
The incident happened suddenly, almost overnight. Some went to the hospital, some went abroad, and everyone deleted Zhou Kantian from their WeChat contacts.
Zhou Kantian increasingly felt that something was wrong, and his keen senses detected a hint of crisis.
So he went out late at night to wait outside his "friend's" house and relentlessly pressed him for an explanation.
To his surprise, the other party flew into a rage, saying, "Of all people to mess with, you had to mess with Old Master Miao. You didn't even send me Miao Xiaoyun's video separately, and now I'm being forced to take the blame along with you."
Zhou Kantian felt a chill in his heart. "No, it can't be that bad. He's just a slightly wealthy supermarket owner."
"My whole house has been raided!"
"What?"
"It's all your fault, you didn't even check a woman's background before you started dating her, and now we're all doomed."
Old Master Miao was ruthless and dealt with a few small fry very quickly. Zhou Kantian didn't dare to sleep when he got home late at night. His heart pounded when he saw the news the next day that several companies had gone bankrupt and were under investigation.
It turns out that the "king of heaven" characters that appear in idol dramas are real.
He suddenly realized that his understanding of "being rich" was too superficial. He thought that even if the entertainment industry couldn't completely ban him, he could still get a role in a movie by climbing the social ladder and getting connections with the Han family. At one time, he even secretly mocked Grandpa Miao, thinking he was "nothing special."
In reality, Grandpa Miao didn't use much force at all!
Grandpa Miao has been getting rid of so many rich kids without leaving a trace—critically ill, having limbs amputated, going abroad… those were all his sugar daddies! People he used to fawn over.
He should be next.
Zhou Kantian couldn't imagine how Old Master Miao would treat him.
what to do……
Even smashing everything in sight to the ground couldn't dispel the fear in Zhou Kantian's heart.
What is he going to do?!
He didn't want to be disabled, much less become a vegetable.
He's only just become famous, only just entered the top tier, and hasn't even had a chance to enjoy the spotlight yet.
Zhou Kantian sat in the ruins of his house, deep in thought.
The residents downstairs who heard the noise called the property management to come and check the situation, and kept ringing the doorbell.
A face appeared in Zhou Kantian's mind amidst the immense stimulation.
At this point, only Han Shicheng, who also possessed a powerful family background, could save him.
Zhou Kantian hurriedly called Han Shicheng, but couldn't get through, so he could only call Han Shicheng's personal secretary.
The secretary said that Grandpa Miao had spoken to Han Shicheng's father on the phone, and Han Shicheng is currently in confinement.
That means Han Shicheng was also affected by this incident.
Zhou Kantian was at his wit's end; his only hope was Han Shicheng.
Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, he called Pei Xue and learned that Han Shicheng and Pei Xue were at a private apartment. He immediately drove there.
Zhou Kantian thought that Han Shicheng must be furious after being humiliated, and it was normal for him to vent his anger on him. He should just bear with it and beg him. Living is more important than anything else.
With a burst of speed, he sped towards the private apartment.
Go upstairs and knock on the door.
As soon as Zhou Kantian saw the door open, he said, "Young Master Han, I'm sorry, I didn't know Old Master Miao would be so angry, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, a slap landed squarely on his head. "You fucking dare to come looking for me again."
Zhou Kantian was taken aback.
The slaps continued to fall, and Han Shicheng shouted, "Useless trash! You can't even handle a 19-year-old ugly bastard! You think you're so good at sleeping with women? If you could seduce her, would her old man be able to stop you?"
Han Shicheng used great force and didn't hold back. Zhou Kantian was hit so hard that he saw stars. He tried his best to endure it, but he also felt a little frustrated.
If you hadn't suddenly uploaded the video online, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
"I'm giving you three days. If you can't get a marriage certificate with Miao Xiaoyun, I'll have someone take care of you."
"Young Master Han, Young Master Han, please listen to me, this matter is very..."
Han Shicheng walked inside, and Zhou Kantian followed, trying to explain. Suddenly, he turned around, pointed at the ground, and roared, "Kneel down for me!"
Zhou Kantian's pupils constricted, and he stood there stunned, not daring to move.
He expected to suffer some hardship, but he didn't expect to be humiliated.
The sound of high heels clicking on the floor echoed from inside the room, resonating with Zhou Kantian's heavy, pounding heartbeat.
It turned out that Pei Xue was wearing a pair of high-heeled slippers when she came down from upstairs.
She wore a spaghetti strap nightgown, her hair was disheveled, and her fair skin bore the marks of passion.
Pei Xue looked Zhou Kantian up and down, a contemptuous smile on her lips. "Young Master Han, Zhou Kantian is a big star after all. It would be so embarrassing for you to make him kneel down."
face.
Zhou Kantian frowned slightly, unable to tell whether Pei Xue's words were meant to provoke Han Shicheng or simply a sign of her lapse in judgment.
I haven't known Han Shicheng for long, but I hear him talking about face all the time. Only a fool wouldn't know that he values face the most.
As expected, Han Shicheng blushed and shouted, "If I tell him to kneel, he has to kneel!"
Zhou Kantian: "Young Master Han..."
"Smack!"
Han Shicheng then reached out and struck Zhou Kantian on the head.
"You fucking want me to save you, huh?" Han Shicheng spread his legs. "Sure, crawl over my crotch on your knees and I'll help you."
What? !
Zhou Kantian's bones were frozen solid; he was certain that they would shatter with the slightest touch.
Kneeling was already unacceptable to him, but now Han Shicheng actually wanted him to crawl on his knees across the embankment.
In the entertainment industry, capital reigns supreme, but no one has ever gone this far as to allow someone to do such a thing.
How dare Han Shicheng!
So what if he was born into a good family? What makes him so special?
Zhou Kantian felt that Han Shicheng had an old-fashioned mannerism that didn't suit his age. His behavior was outdated and barbaric, like the style of street thugs from a time when people's minds were not open.
Zhou Kantian was unwilling and dared not kneel, fearing that more difficulties awaited him.
The atmosphere remained tense.
Pei Xue's lips twitched slightly. "Young Master Han, a man's knees are worth gold. Don't treat Zhou Kantian like that."
"grass."
Han Shicheng shoved Pei Xue aside, went behind Zhou Kantian, and kicked him in the knee.
Zhou Kantian's feet exerted force, and his knees unexpectedly slammed directly onto the marble floor.
He groaned softly in pain.
"You're fucking arrogant, aren't you?"
Han Shicheng's face turned red and his neck thickened with anger. He grabbed whatever was at hand and smashed it over Han Shicheng's head, yelling, "I've lost face so many times because of your marriage. You should kneel down and kowtow before me!"
Pei Xue panicked when she saw Zhou Kantian half-fallen to the ground and the Best Actress award trophy in Han Shicheng's hand stained red. She rushed forward and pulled him, "Young Master Han, Young Master Han, calm down. It's not good to kill someone."
Han Shicheng was still furious and tried to hit him again, but Pei Xue was afraid of being on the legal news the next day, so she grabbed his hand tightly and barely managed to control him.
Han Shicheng threw the trophy, which hit Zhou Kantian on the back. "To tell you the truth, the reason I made you marry Miao Xiaoyun is to take all of Miao Laotou's family property to make up for the cost of your movie. If I lose my right to be the heir, I won't even need Miao Laotou to lift a finger; I'll personally find someone to kill you."
Zhou Kantian's body convulsed, and it took him several tens of seconds to regain the strength to prop up half of his body. He shook his head, and blood dripped from his hair onto the floor.
One drop, two drops...
He clenched his fists and paused for a while before saying, "Young Master Han, Young Master Han... if you want money, I have a way."
Pei Xue was frightened by the weak voice, fearing that Han Shicheng would cause an accident, so she gripped Han Shicheng's hand even tighter.
Zhou Kantian was finally able to move his body. He thought he was going to get up, but his head slammed straight into Han Shicheng's leg. His wound was in excruciating pain, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
Han Shicheng looked terrified and took two steps back.
Zhou Kantian trembled as he supported himself and stubbornly stuck his head between Han Shicheng's legs.
His shoulders were blocked by his legs, but he seemed unaware and pushed his way through.
Han Shicheng continued to back away, "Forget it, we're all brothers, get up first."
Zhou Kantian then stopped his reckless actions, one hand trembling as he braced himself on the ground, the other hand touching the sofa next to him. After slipping several times, he finally managed to firmly grasp the sofa leather and forcefully pulled himself up.
Blood gushed from the top of his head and flowed down his cheeks through his hair.
Zhou Kantian was actually laughing.
He smiled as brightly as he did when he performed on stage.
"The movie will definitely make money in the future; it can break even with two billion. If you want money now, you don't need the Miao family; I can give you a lot right away. And..."
As he spoke, the muscles on his face twitched, changing the direction of blood flow, and a stream flowed from between his eyebrows down the bridge of his nose into Zhou Kantian's mouth.
He raised his hand to brush it away, his lips trembling as he continued, "Besides... you don't want to go to the company, right? I have a way..."
Han Shicheng's anger dissipated in fear at Zhou Kantian's appearance. When he heard him talk about money, his weakness of not wanting to go to the company was hit. He turned around and sat on the sofa, forcibly putting on airs, "Tell me about it."
Zhou Kantian pressed his hands straight down on the sofa, blood dripping down and rubbing against his palms, creating a large patch of blood.
He was hanging on a clothes rack, his hands serving as poles, his body swaying with the non-existent wind.
It took all his strength to barely manage to speak, “Haven’t you and Pei Xue already practically made your relationship official?”
Pei Xue had a bad feeling.
"You can go public with your relationship with her, and then a lot of variety shows will come knocking and invite you to participate. As we all know, variety shows are a quick way to make money. Although you may not make 2 billion yuan at once, once you're on a variety show, you become a semi-public figure, and you can also get endorsements and business activities. You just need to show your face, and you can make money very quickly, which is easier than working in a company."
Pei Xue exclaimed in panic, "No—"
"Audiences love the romance between female celebrities and rich young men the most. Su Yunruo can earn 100 million yuan by recording 'Let's Travel Together,' I believe you can earn more than her."
Zhou Kantian turned around, and it was as if he were being drenched in blood; the red color was spread across his face like his skin.
He suddenly smiled at Pei Xue, blood flowing from the corner of his lips into his mouth, but this time he didn't wipe it away; his teeth were stained red.
It was ice-cold, with no temperature at all.
Those fierce eyes looked like a wolf's, ready to devour Pei Xue.
"Pei Xue, aren't you happy that you've gone public with your relationship with Han Shao?"
Han Shicheng squinted at Pei Xue.
Pei Xue felt a chill in her heart and quickly shook her head.
Zhou Kantian suddenly knelt down again, crawling to Han Shicheng's feet. "Young Master Han, I can not only help you make money, but also bring you fun. You must save me this time."
Zhou Kantian figured it out: even the dumbest person is still a higher-ranking person than him, and these people don't need "strategists," they only need dogs.
If being a dog can get him what he wants, then he'll be a dog.
There is nothing a person at the end of their road cannot give up.
...
The effect was obvious. Zhou Kantian, this dog, hit the nail on the head regarding Han Shicheng's "upper-class mentality" after his sudden wealth. He stood up and said, "You're my man. Try touching me, old man Miao."
He managed to save his life.
Han Shicheng immediately called Grandpa Miao, but the conversation did not seem to go smoothly. Han Shicheng's pride got the better of him, and he was so angry that he immediately drove to the Miao family's old house to argue with Grandpa Miao.
In the end, the villa that Han Shicheng used to support Pei Xue was left with only two people, each with their own ulterior motives.
Zhou Kantian's blood didn't stop, staining the floor, the sofa, and his clothes and pants.
Pei Xue finally couldn't bear to watch any longer. Fearing he would bleed to death, she handed him some tissues and told him to go to the hospital immediately.
Instead of taking the toilet paper, Zhou Kantian suddenly reached out and grabbed Pei Xue's arm.
Pei Xue was startled and tried to pull away with her other hand. Thinking that Zhou Kantian, who was having illicit relationships, was going to do something to her, she said urgently, "What are you doing? Zhou Kantian, how dare you!"
Zhou Kantian chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not so desperate as to attack you."
Pei Xue stared intently at him with her peach blossom eyes, her expression angry, like a harmless toy.
Zhou Kantian couldn't help but laugh even more maniacally, "Pei Xue, let me tell you, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, and stop stirring up trouble everywhere."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't..."
"Don't act like you're Han Shicheng's girlfriend and bully me. You'll end up like me today sooner or later."
After a pause, Zhou Kantian continued, "Oh, all you do is entertain him, you don't know how to make money with him. Your fate will be worse than mine."
"You...you're talking nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense? Ha, I know these rich kids better than you do. You and I are just dogs in their eyes. The only thing that makes me noble is that I don't need to sell myself."
"Zhou Kantian!"
"You should thank me, I made him go public with his relationship and extended your shelf life."
"Thank you? You're telling me to go public with him, which is just trying to appease my fans! Don't you know that fans hate it when their idols are in relationships?"
"Pollen? Ha, looking at me now, which of my fans can help me? Don't be so naive, millions of fans are not as important as Han Shicheng."
"..."
“I let you go public, so at least in the short term, Han Shicheng won’t break up with you, and you’ve even secured the position of his official girlfriend.” Zhou Kantian shook off Pei Xue’s hand. “Guess how many women he’s slept with while you were away?”
Pei Xue was stunned.
Zhou Kantian scoffed, pressed a tissue to his bleeding wound, and strode out.
