"No," Li Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Zhou Zhishan was seductive and attractive in and of herself, and as an art student with an excellent figure, her charm was undeniable. Her classmate, while different in temperant, was no less beautiful.
"Feng." Zhou Zhishan noticed sothing off about Li Feng, and without hesitation, she threw away the video cara in her hand and wrapped her arms around Li Feng’s neck.
"Love ."
"You guys..." Liu Xuan turned her head away. How could they act as if she didn’t exist?
Zhou Zhishan parted Li Feng’s lips and glanced at Liu Xuan, then whispered sothing into Li Feng’s ear that made him pause.
"Why hesitate? You’ve already taken her ’first blood.’ Besides, Feng, can you bear her being with other n?"
Li Feng, prompted by Zhou Zhishan’s words, replied, "You’re not jealous?"
"What’s the use of being jealous? But you can’t just abandon the old for the new." Zhou Zhishan admired Li Feng trendously.
"You go take a shower first. I’ll talk to her."
Once Zhou Zhishan had also looked down upon Li Feng, who, in the words of her close friend Zhang Xin, was just a son-in-law living off his wife, a househusband.
But the more she interacted with him, the less she understood him. The young elites of Huacheng were chummy with him; he could afford to stay in a five-star hotel like Outer Heaven and easily give away luxury items worth millions. Even prominent figures referred to him respectfully as "Young Master Feng."
Those figures were none other than CEOs and chairn of listed companies.
So of these things she saw with her own eyes, others she learned from a fat man nad Wang Qian.
Only then did she realize that her best friend’s cousin had married a ’diamond bachelor’ and made a fool out of him, even forcing him to leave without a penny to his na.
Such stuff was too dramatic even for TV shows.
So Zhou Zhishan was clear about her place. She might not rise to the top, but as long as she remained loyal to this man, she could do whatever she wanted for the rest of her life without having to worry about money, the future, or career prospects.
Since the mistake had already been made, she naturally wouldn’t choose to make a scene. She didn’t have the capital to do so. The smartest move was to just go along with the error and drag Liu Xuan down with her.
Put nicely, it was "sisters sharing good fortune." Put less nicely, it was finding a fall guy so she wouldn’t be alone.
Liu Xuan didn’t expect things to turn out this way. "Zhou Zhishan, how can you be like this?"
Zhou Zhishan exhaled and faced the angry Liu Xuan.
"Xuanxuan, have you thought about the future?"
"Hm?"
"Xuanxuan, do you know why we were tricked?"
Liu Xuan bit her lip. "What are you trying to say?"
"Xuanxuan, I know about your family. You want to be famous, a star; you don’t want to just marry and be a housewife. So you seized the opportunity and spared no effort. Fifty thousand, that’s what you scraped together, even maxing out your credit card and using Huabei."
"Xuanxuan, I’m the sa."
"But do you really think by aimlessly chasing every so-called opportunity like headless flies, we’ll succeed?"
"Heh, no. I’m telling you, we won’t."
"We’ll end up being toys for directors and rich n. You surely haven’t failed to notice the luxury cars outside our school."
"Heh, opportunities."
"If we don’t have a powerful backer, apart from being cheated for our money and bodies, do you really think we can make a na for ourselves?"
Liu Xuan couldn’t find words to counter her.
"Xuanxuan, if last night’s events hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t advise you like this. But now you’re already his woman. If you can’t get over this, you’re just making it hard on yourself."
"He has influence. As long as he’s willing, we won’t need to please anyone, accompany anyone for als, and no one will dare to make any untoward moves on us. Isn’t that good?"
"Do you really want to wreck yourself to the point you’re no longer human, only to find that even if you beco famous and a star, you’re no longer yourself?"
"That’s all I’ve got to say. If you co to terms with it, co to the bathroom. If you can’t accept it, just put on your clothes and go. Feng won’t force you."
After speaking her piece, Zhou Zhishan went straight into the bathroom without another word. Liu Xuan watched her back and opened her mouth as if to speak.
Monts later, Liu Xuan made her choice and pushed open the bathroom door.
By mid-morning, Li Feng finally led Liu Xuan and Zhou Zhishan out of the room. They went to the adjacent room. Seeing the scamrs inside, Zhou Zhishan charged at them and kicked at the belly of the bearded man.
"Scamr, I’ll show you for scamming! Xuanxuan, co kick him a couple of tis to blow off so steam."
Liu Xuan shook her head; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but her legs were so wobbly she could barely walk, let alone kick anyone.
"That’s enough," Li Feng pulled Zhou Zhishan back and looked at the bearded man, now curled up in a ball.
"Let’s settle this. You scamd a hundred thousand from them, right? I won’t ask for much, just a million, and I won’t call the cops."
The bearded man looked up at Li Feng. "Are you serious?"
"Decide for yourself."
Li Feng didn’t haggle; the man stared at him for a mont before saying, "Okay, a million. I agree."
"I want it in cash."
"Room 1801, the keycard is in the backpack in the next room."
"Both of you go get the money and call ."
"Okay."
Zhou Zhishan and Liu Xuan nodded, left the room, and Li Feng watched the door close before squatting down to face the bearded man.
"I’ve already given you the money, what more do you want?"
"Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word. I said I wouldn’t call the cops, and I won’t. But..."
Li Feng’s lips curled up as he spoke, and between his fingers flashed a silver gleam–a needle.
He inserted the needle into a point on the bearded man’s face, twisted it, and pulled it out.
"You, you, what, what are you doing...?"
The bearded man suddenly started to stamr; he couldn’t even finish a sentence. Li Feng looked at him, now filled with fright.
"Scamrs need their speech to deceive. Seeing how quickly you accepted defeat, I won’t leave you mute."
"A stamrer; you’ll struggle to speak, but at least you can still talk. I’m being rciful, aren’t I?"
The bearded man rolled his eyes in frustration, as if thinking that it’d be quicker if he were just mute.
Li Feng treated everyone present in the sa way, ensuring they all beca stamrers, then he picked up a switchblade from the floor.
"You... you... what... what..."
"You’re asking what I’m going to do next?"
