Chapter 53 Chapter 53
After getting off the taxi, the two came to a private high-end tea room.
This teahouse is far from the downtown. A clear stream flows in front of the courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by water, small bridges, bamboo forests, and patches of green plants dotted with flowers and plants, scattered in every corner.
Because of its quiet environment and strong privacy, it has become a private gathering place frequented by celebrities and wealthy businessmen.
The proprietress was a well-known cheongsam beauty. She held up an oil-paper umbrella and led the two of them through a long cobblestone alley to a private room. "This is it."
"Thank you, sister." He Xianyu said politely.
The proprietress hesitated for a moment and whispered, "The owner inside is in a bad mood today, you must be careful."
He Xianyu nodded.
The proprietress knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Li, your guest has arrived."
After saying that, the proprietress pushed open the door of the box.
The box is decorated in an antique style. The celadon teacups and the rectangular wooden tea table complement each other, and the green ivy on the windowsill echoes the orchids at the door, presenting an elegant and simple atmosphere.
Li Cheng sat in front of the coffee table, staring at He Xianyu, the uninvited guest. His arms, seemingly casually crossed, revealed strong hostility.
"Mr. Li, I'll make tea for you now." The proprietress's slender white fingers danced among the tea sets. After she stopped, the fragrance of tea filled the entire tea room.
As soon as she left, Li Cheng stopped pretending and said to He Xianyu impatiently, "Drink the tea in front of you and get out of here."
He Xianyu didn't want to drink tea nor leave, "Don't you have something to say to Jiang Bai? Say it quickly."
Li Cheng looked at Jiang Bai and raised his lips gloomily, "Jiang Bai, are you sure you want to let your friend know?"
Jiang Bai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but under the coffee table, where Li Cheng couldn't see, He Xianyu pinched his palm heavily.
He Xianyu said unhappily, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."
Li Cheng frowned, his narrow eyes showing unspoken sarcasm and contempt, as if he was mocking He Xianyu's overestimation of his own abilities, and also mocking Jiang Bai's naivety. "Jiang Bai, do you think I will let you go if you bring a little friend with you? Do you think I will be afraid of a person who has no skills and only relies on his stepfather and brother?"
He Xianyu was angry.
How does this scumbag speak?
When did he "only" rely on his stepfather and brother?
He has some real skills, okay?
Li Cheng looked down on He Xianyu and ignored him. He continued to say to Jiang Bai: "There are only two choices for you now. Either follow me or stay silent in the entertainment industry. You know I have the ability to do this."
There are some people in the entertainment industry who are more terrifying than "coal bosses". They are the Red Nth Generation, who have a prominent position and great power. In the early years, their families formed a powerful and terrifying force through the combination of politics and business. Whether in politics, business or entertainment, they have a certain say.
Jiang Bai pursed his lips tightly, and the lines of his jaw were tense. He finally became popular again, and his career was about to open a new chapter, but he didn't expect to meet Li Cheng, a madman.
Jiang Bai shook his head firmly, "I will never follow you."
Li Cheng snorted, a sneer on his face: "Sorry, I will spread the word that you have offended me. Do you think there is any other investor in this circle who dares to hire you?"
The blood on Jiang Bai's face faded away. His skin was originally fair, but now it had turned into an ugly gray.
Li Cheng continued to break down his psychological defenses: "Do you know why this friend of yours was hidden for three years? Because he refused to be Zheng Yi's mistress. Zheng Yi spread the word and didn't allow any investor to use him."
Jiang Bai turned his head and looked at He Xianyu in shock.
So is the truth so cruel?
Jiang Bai knew that Zheng Yi was a man-lover, but wasn't Zheng Yi He Xianyu's godfather? Did he even want to take advantage of his godson?
"However, fortunately his mother worked hard and found him a good stepfather." Li Cheng smiled, "Jiang Bai, do you also want to be hidden away for three years like your friend? However, I am a very patient person, I will accompany you slowly for three or four years."
The words that came out of that beautiful mouth were like a poisoned whip that lashed fiercely into Jiang Bai's heart.
Jiang Bai's eyes were filled with despair, so heavy that it seemed like it would crush him in the next moment.
"Jiang Bai, meeting me is your fate, you can't escape." A glimpse of the wedding venue made Li Cheng feel the long-lost heartbeat. The heart that was broken by Su Nianbai finally revived.
At that moment, Li Cheng swore that he would use all means to get this boy who was somewhat similar to Su Nianbai.
Jiang Bai's long eyelashes trembled violently, and huge ripples appeared in those eyes that were good at hiding emotions.
Li Cheng was confident of winning, so he elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I've done some research, and your parents run a fried skewers shop. Believe it or not, I can use food safety issues to make your parents lose their jobs tomorrow?"
Jiang Bai's family was very ordinary. Both of his parents only had a junior high school education, and they survived in Beijing by relying on this fried skewers shop. Jiang's father and mother were reluctant to buy a new piece of clothing, but they were willing to spend money to send their son to learn singing and dancing. They would rather suffer themselves than suffer for their children's education.
He Xianyu met Jiang's mother twice. The beautiful woman looked haggard due to years of hard work. Although she didn't have the bright and beautiful clothes like other mothers, her back was still straight and her eyes were still confident.
How sad she would be if she lost this skewers shop.
This is what happened in the novel. Li Cheng used all kinds of disgusting and vulgar means to force Jiang Bai to submit.
An uncontrollable rage brewed in He Xianyu's chest and immediately burst out. "Li Cheng, don't go too far!"
Li Chengliang laughed, with a condescending attitude: "How did I go too far? I was showing him a shortcut in life. Besides, not just anyone can be Su Nianbai's substitute. He should be thankful that he looks a bit like Su Nianbai."
A huge humiliation flashed across Jiang Bai's eyes, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He took a deep breath, then slowly stood up and said in the calmest tone possible: "Mr. Li, how do I resemble your boyfriend?"
Li Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the mole under his right eye, "It's exactly the same here."
"Really?" Jiang Bai suddenly laughed.
Jiang Bai seldom smiles, but he looks very nice when he smiles. However, this time, He Xianyu's alarm bells went off.
Jiang Bai touched the teardrop mole, then took out a knife from his pocket and cut it.
All this happened in a flash, so fast that He Xianyu beside him couldn't react.
"Jiang Bai!" All the blood in He Xianyu's body rushed to his chest, causing his heart to swell and swell, as if it would burst in the next second. He desperately tried to grab the knife and stop Jiang Bai from self-harming.
The young man was as cold as the snow on the river, and the blood flowing on his pale face was shocking.
He Xianyu's eyes were stung and tears flowed uncontrollably.
He Xianyu cried.
He originally thought that he could just stand aside and watch the love, hate, and vengeance of the paper man. However, the paper man was a living person with flesh and blood, and living with him day and night had already left a mark on his life. He Xianyu could no longer stay out of it.
The door of the box was pushed open again.
Jing Chen and Gu Zeye rushed in. They followed them quietly all the way, thinking that they were secretly out on a date and wanted to catch them, but they didn't expect to see such a bloody scene.
Jing Chen and Gu Zeye were stunned.
Li Cheng was also stunned. He had never met a boy who was so cruel to him and rejected him in such a decisive way.
Jiang Bai looked at Li Cheng expressionlessly and asked, "Does it still look like that now?"
Li Cheng was speechless.
"Let me ask you, is it still the same now?" Jiang Bai spoke word by word, his voice not loud but extremely clear.
The fierceness in his eyes seemed to weigh tens of millions of pounds, forcing Li Cheng to lower his eyes, "... not like that."
He Xianyu couldn't stand it any longer and cried, "Li Cheng, you idiot! You found a substitute for Su Nianbai, moved yourself, and then disgusted everyone! Do you think Su Nianbai broke up with you for his career? Idiot, he was just hooking you, watching you go crazy for him, banging your head against the wall for him! Do you think he was concentrating on ballet dancing abroad? No, he was hooking up with other men out there, I don't know how many times he cheated on you, and you, idiot, are still in the dark."
He Xianyu's words were no less than thunder, exploding in Li Cheng's ears. He was like an angry beast, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was almost hoarse because of his ferocity: "You are talking nonsense! Xiaobai is not that kind of person! The life assistant I sent to take care of him--"
"You big idiot, do you think you can monitor Su Nianbai like this? Su Nianbai is also having an affair with him!" He Xianyu and Li Cheng looked at each other, seeing the angry fire in his eyes, and said coldly, "If you don't believe me, go investigate it yourself. Li Cheng, Su Nianbai laughed at you for being a fool behind your back, but you still treated him as a treasure. You really have become a joke!"
Li Cheng exuded a terrifying low pressure all over his body. He looked at Jiang Bai with complicated eyes, then left angrily.
He Xianyu was still in shock, and looking at Jiang Bai's wound which was still bleeding, he felt extremely anxious.
"What should I do? Your face—"
His lips trembled and he felt extremely helpless.
This is no ordinary face, this is the face of an idol!
For an idol who makes a living almost entirely on his looks, if he gets disfigured, his acting career will come to an end.
"A ruthless person who keeps his word" is a label for Jiang Bai. But He Xianyu never expected that Jiang Bai could be so cruel to him!
If he wasn't forced into a desperate situation, how could such a career-oriented idol be willing to do such harsh things to his own face?
Jing Chen and Gu Zeye were both scared to death and ran out in a hurry to ask the proprietress for the first aid kit.
He Xianyu's sad sobbing could be heard in the tea room.
Jiang Bai slowly raised his hand and wiped his tears, "Xianyu, I'm fine, don't cry."
"Are you okay? Jiang Bai, you're a lunatic just like Li Cheng! No, you're even crazier than him!" He Xianyu hurriedly took out his cell phone, searched for a name in the address book, and made a call.
The other party picked up the call quickly.
"Brother, what should I do? I have this, that, Jiang Bai, I--" He Xianyu was at a loss and spoke illogically.
After meeting He Xianyu again, Jiang Bai had seen He Xianyu standing on the podium with high spirits, had seen him patiently answering questions for his classmates, had seen him calmly playing in the escape room, had seen him singing a congratulatory song on the stage with a smile on his face, had seen him playing the piano with concentration, but he had never seen him so out of control.
Jiang Bai regretted that he shouldn't have brought He Xianyu here and shouldn't have let He Xianyu see his current appearance.
No matter how calm He Xianyu is, he is only eighteen years old and he will be afraid.
Xiao Qinghe roughly pieced together the cause of the incident, "Xianyu, turn on the location, I'll be there soon!"
Jing Chen brought the medicine box, took out the disinfectant, and was about to disinfect Jiang Bai's wound when he heard Gu Zeye say, "Let me do it. I have received professional first aid training."
Although Gu Zeye didn't like Jiang Bai, he felt bad seeing his roommate, whom he had been with for almost three months, getting injured.
only--
Gu Zeye was a little angry, "You guys are going to meet Li Cheng, why don't you call me? He doesn't dare to do anything wrong because of my dad's face."
Jing Chen agreed, "You can also call me. We have strength in numbers. Jiang Bai, don't worry too much, the problem will be solved. Don't forget, we still have Teacher Xiao."
At this moment, He Xianyu felt the team spirit that he had never felt in a boy group.
