Chapter 20 Chen Zan, I can only help people three times
Chen Zhan changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom. Zhang Qing and the doctor had left the living room without knowing when. The curtains in the living room were all drawn back, revealing the brightly lit night scene outside.
Zhou Jingyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to Chen Zan, holding a cigarette in his left hand. He flicked off a piece of scarlet ash, and gray embers fell down. Gray-white smoke climbed up and coiled around his slender fingers.
Chen Zan suddenly recalled how those hands had caressed her body inch by inch in the dark. The pleasure created by the silver watch on her wrist made her tremble uncontrollably, and her cheeks suddenly became hot.
Zhou Jingyu noticed the voice behind him. He had suppressed all his emotions at this moment and returned to his usual calm and noble appearance.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly, waiting for her to speak.
Chen Zhan tightened the bag in his hand and said gently, "Mr. Zhou, I still want to say thank you tonight. Thank you for helping me again."
Although she was sent to his bed because someone wanted to use her to please him, she also blamed herself for not judging people well and falling into someone else's trap. The most important thing was that Zhou Jingyu did not touch her.
Although she did not attach great importance to the membrane and did not care who she gave her first kiss to, she still felt fortunate that this person was Zhou Jingyu. If it was anyone else, he would not be so gentlemanly as to let her go so easily.
Chen Zan felt that Mr. Zhou was a really contradictory person. She was not stupid. Because she had been beautiful since she was a child, she could still tell how men looked at her.
So the way Zhou Jingyu looked at her before, and the tone revealed between the lines, were telling her that he wanted to get her.
But when she was really sent to his bed, he was able to wake up at the right moment, but was unwilling to let her go. This made Chen Zan begin to understand what he really wanted.
Zhou Jingyu's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and his tone was slightly sarcastic: "Ms. Chen's thank you is still perfunctory as always."
Chen Zhan felt a little ashamed and lowered his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he walked towards the door, his hand just touching the door handle.
"Chen Zan." Zhou Jingyu suddenly called her.
She turned to look at him.
Zhou Jingyu looked at her with half-closed eyelids. The mole on his eyelids was very charming. His eyes were dark as he said, "I am not a kind person. I am not that kind to you. I will not help you unconditionally every time."
Chen Zhan curled his fingers together and whispered, "I know."
The man exhaled lightly a smoke ring, and the gray-white smoke was misty, blurring his handsome and sharp face, making it difficult to see clearly.
"I never help anyone more than three times. How I repay you after three times is not up to you, Chen Zan."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zan's pupils suddenly contracted, and an inexplicable sense of danger began to sweep over her.
Zhou Jingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said aggressively, "So you'd better not give me a third chance to help you."
——
Chen Zan almost ran away. She couldn't stand Zhou Jingyu's gaze at all. It seemed that if it was the last time, she would really not be able to escape.
When the elevator went downstairs, Zhang Qing was already waiting at the hotel entrance.
Seeing Chen Zan coming out, "Miss Chen, Mr. Zhou asked me to take you back to school."
It's one in the morning and the school has long had curfew.
Chen Zhan: "No need, Secretary Zhang, I've already troubled you enough. I've already called an online taxi."
They had agreed not to bother Zhou Jingyu again, and naturally they would not ride in his car again, otherwise the words she had said upstairs before would seem childish and ridiculous.
Zhang Qing immediately showed an embarrassment when she heard this. Chen Zhan directly opened the taxi app. The online taxi driver had already arrived. She knew his difficulties and said, "Mr. Zhou won't blame you."
Seeing this, Zhang Qing didn't want to force it anymore and just said, "Miss Chen, it's better to be more cautious when you meet people outside in the future. Regarding what happened tonight, Mr. Zhou said that as long as you give in, he can help you deal with it."
Chen Zan was stunned for a moment and politely refused: "No need, Secretary Zhang, I can handle it myself." When Chen Zan got home, it was already two o'clock.
Fortunately, my mother was performing outside during this period, otherwise I would be very worried seeing her coming home late at night with a pale face.
She took out a fever-reducing pill from the medical box and took it, then found Luo Qiuyue's contact information, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
She had heard the conversation between Zhou Jingyu and Secretary Zhang before, and knew that everything tonight was a setup by the Wei family, and Luo Qiuyue was just a bait to lure her out.
She originally thought that because she had been staying at school cautiously before, Wei Yunxi had not come to trouble her, so she had avoided the matter. She didn't expect that he would be even more excessive now.
She tried to call Luo Qiuyue, thinking that the call would not go through at this time, but the other party seemed to be deliberately waiting for her to question her, and the call was answered almost immediately after she dialed.
"Chen Zhan." Luo Qiuyue's phone came from the other end, "I knew you would call me."
Chen Zhan's voice was cold, "Luo Qiuyue, why do you treat me like this?"
"What did I do to you? Are you saying I drugged you and sent you to Mr. Zhou's bed?" Luo Qiuyue laughed obnoxiously. "But Chen Zan, shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"You work as an interpreter for Mr. Zhou. You know what a big shot he is. A little student like you can climb into her bed. To be honest, I envy you."
Every word she said made Chen Zhan sick. His nails were almost white as he gripped the phone. "If you're envious, why don't you just go get in bed?"
Luo Qiuyue: "Because I don't have your face, Chen Zan. If I had your face, I would climb up and get more."
Chen Zhan found it utterly unreasonable and took a deep breath. "So, how much did the Wei family give you for selling me?"
Luo Qiuyue: "Chen Zhan, I really want to thank you for the position of editor-in-chief of Qianhe Publishing House. You should also thank me. It's a win-win cooperation."
"Luo Qiuyue." Chen Zhan felt as if a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat. "Aren't you afraid that I will call the police?"
Luo Qiuyue paused, then burst into laughter. Her laughter was sharp and piercing, and she said with great pride: "Chen Zan, Rongchuan's surname is Wei. You can call the police and try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhan slammed his phone to the ground, and the screen instantly shattered into a spider web.
She was sent to Zhou Jingyu's bed like a plaything and a gift. These powerful people were almost above the law. She even called the police, but they were determined that there would be no result.
Just like the last time, after she called the police in the Tang Palace Club, the police didn't even come in.
She finally understood what Zhang Qing's hesitant look meant before getting on the bus. She couldn't beat those people.
In front of them, killing her was as easy as killing an ant.
But she still naively wanted to fight for justice for herself. Remembering that there was a recording of the call just now on her phone, she picked it up again.
That night, Chen Zan developed a high fever again. At dawn, she mustered up her last bit of strength and went to the hospital to register for an IV drip.
The doctor glanced at the thermometer and said, "Little girl, your fever is 39.5 degrees Celsius. You're almost going crazy. Where are your family members? Didn't they come with you?"
Chen Zhan shook his head. "Doctor, please give me some medicine to reduce my fever. I have something else to do."
Seeing how pale she looked, the doctor quickly advised, "Medicine alone won't do the trick. Give her an IV drip to get the fever down."
