Chapter 17 You've Crossed the Line
She and Liang Yanzhi were secretly in love, and Chi Yanlin was one of the few close friends who knew about it.
Chi Yanlin tried to smooth things over, "I knew Xingyu when I was in college. We were in the same department. Besides, our Xingyu was both the campus belle and the department belle. It was hard not to want to get to know her."
Lu Xingyu smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Because not a single word he said was true.
It was obvious that Liang Yanzhi let Chi Yanlin play the vicious villain in order to pursue her so that he could be a hero and save the beauty. Later, when the two were together, Chi Yanlin made a beautiful appearance as a "matchmaker", which shattered Lu Xingyu's three views.
Liang Yanzhi apologized for three months and blocked Chi Yanlin for half a year before Lu Xingyu paid any attention to him.
Fu Mingsheng glanced at Lu Xingyu out of the corner of his eye. She looked so pretty with the corners of her lips curved. Maybe she was thinking of something happy, which made her look so different from usual.
Chi Yanlin and Shen Xingye noticed that there was something wrong with Fu Mingsheng's expression. After he saw Lu Xingyu smile, he became emotionally unstable.
At this time.
In order to win back the game, Fu Mingsheng took the initiative to hold Lu Xingyu's hand and said with a smile, "Xingyu and I's engagement party is next Monday. Mr. Shen and Mr. Chi, remember to come with your cousin. We welcome you, right, Xingyu?"
Lu Xingyu watched Fu Mingsheng hold her hand tightly, and struggled to pull his hand back. Her jaw was tense and she felt nauseous.
She stood up and apologized repeatedly, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
A line of sight in the darkness followed Lu Xingyu all the time, not missing a single frame of movement. Fu Mingsheng's possessiveness was obvious to everyone as soon as he entered the door.
After she left, Fu Mingsheng followed her all the way to the bathroom door, only to see her bending over and washing her hands repeatedly with hand soap. The nausea in her heart made her lie on the sink and retch.
He frowned, "Xingyu."
Lu Xingyu wiped her hands and suddenly saw Fu Mingsheng in the mirror. She didn't know how to explain this.
He said first, "I'm sorry for making you feel bad."
Lu Xingyu pursed her lips and said nothing, "It's my problem, go in."
The door of the private room was opened again, and Chi Yanlin suggested, "It's not even 12 o'clock yet, let's play cards together."
Fu Mingsheng said, "We are missing one of three."
Shen Xingye held the cards in his hand and grinned, "It just so happens that our Young Master Liang is here too."
Lu Xingyu's pupils were shocked. Where was Liang Yanzhi? Why didn't she see him? Was she blind?
Looking around, there seemed to be no one there.
"Cousin is here too?"
At this time, Liang Yanzhi in the corner finally stood up. From darkness to light, he was surrounded by smoke. I don’t know if he had just been soaking in the ashtray.
He didn't even look at the two of them, he just sat down on a seat with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, picked up the cards on the table and dealt them, his cold white fingers quickly distributing them to each person, and the cards could feel his anger.
Chi Yanlin felt that something was wrong with the situation and tried to ease the atmosphere. "Mr. Fu, then you can bring Xingyu along to play. You two have to be careful, because no one has ever beaten Brother Liang at the poker table."
Fu Mingsheng knew that his cousin was always all-round, but today Lu Xingyu was present, so he couldn't lose. Even if he lost, he couldn't lose too badly.
He said gently, "Xingyu, sit down."
"good."
Liang Yanzhi beat him hard, leaving him no chance of survival.
At first, everyone played with a challenging mentality, but in the end they were just playing for fun. You have to know that their gambling money is very large, and they can lose a villa within the Second Ring Road in one night.
Chi Yanlin was completely tense, paying close attention. "Brother Liang, please give me a chance to survive. Tonight is Xingye's birthday, and even the birthday boy is losing. This isn't right."
In the next round, the birthday boy Shen Xingye finally won a game.
He stretched himself, and Liang Yanzhi began to pee.
Unexpectedly, several people started to lose again. Seeing that everyone’s gambling money was almost gone, Chi Yanlin suddenly thought of a solution, "Xingyu, come and help me fight."
After saying that, Chi Yanlin stood up and quickly made way for Lu Xingyu.
He didn't believe that Liang Yanzhi didn't even give face to his predecessor.
"Pour a glass of strawberry milkshake for your God of Wealth." The depressing atmosphere was eased a little by Liang Yanzhi's words.
Chi Yanlin immediately called the waiter and personally handed the strawberry milkshake to Lu Xingyu. He said pitifully, "Xingyu, my mom will scold me if I lose a large flat tonight. You have to at least help me win a boutique apartment."
Lu Xingyu curved her lips and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Reshuffle and deal the cards.
She quickly sorted out the cards, and Liang Yanzhi sat in the seat above her.
All four of them played very steadily. When there were only three cards left, Lu Xingyu reported her hand, and at the same time, Liang Yanzhi also had three cards left.
He lowered his head to glance at his own cards, then glanced at Lu Xingyu. He had counted all the cards that had been dealt on the table.
Liang Yanzhi, "A 10."
Lu Xingyu frowned slightly, "A J."
Finally, she ended the round with a pair of threes. Liang Yanzhi threw the last two cards face down into the deck and said, "I lost."
Chi Yanlin felt that Lu Xingyu was his God of Wealth. Once he started to win, he would win every step of the way.
Just before 12 o'clock, Chi Yanlin won enough gambling money to buy a villa in the second ring road of northern Beijing. He smiled so hard that he could no longer just show eight teeth.
Just as he was feeling excited, he received a text message from Liang Yanzhi: [Find a reason to give all your winnings to Xingxing. I'll take you and Xingye to do the amusement park's activities together.]
Chi Yanlin pondered over this text message and finally almost cried.
Who says people in their circle don't have love? Isn't Liang Yanzhi the same? Even the prince can't avoid bending over for love.
After the game, Chi Yanlin kept complimenting Lu Xingyu on her prowess and came up with a perfect excuse, "Xingyu, tonight's bet is nine for you and one for me. After all, I'm just doing the hard work."
Shen Xingye, "Ahem...Uncle, please don't talk nonsense."
Lu Xingyu knew that Liang Yanzhi was letting her win. He always suppressed her cards and he was the one who lost in the end. It seemed like he could calculate exactly what cards he had in every round.
"Xingyu, accept it and help me win next time." Chi Yanlin continued.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Next time I'll be one and you'll be nine."
"It's a deal!"
At 12 o'clock sharp, Shen Xingye blew out the candles and made a wish: next time she hopes Lu Xingyu will be her God of Wealth.
Before the party ended, Fu Mingsheng went to the bathroom. Chi Yanlin gave Shen Xingye a look, and the two of them stood guard at the door like boys distributing money.
Liang Yanzhi walked to her side, his heart clenched as if there were millions of ants scratching his heart, "Lu Xingyu, how are you going to compensate me?"
Lu Xingyu lowered her eyes and shook her head.
Not daring to look up and meet his gaze, she stared unfocused ahead, "I will work twice as hard to repay you in the future. I can't give you anything else."
For the first time, Liang Yanzhi felt what it felt like to have his heart broken. His long eyelashes fell on his eyelids, casting a shadow of sadness.
He suddenly raised his hands and hugged Lu Xingyu's neck, leaned over and pressed his lips against hers, constantly seeking penetration. She was kissed until she couldn't breathe, and in desperation she bit the corner of his lips, which was stained with blood.
"You're overstepping the boundaries."
Liang Yanzhi raised his hand to wipe away the blood, his eyes finally slid over her before rushing out...
