Black Lotus

Seeing the expression on Gu Yansheng’s face, Wen Niannan felt his chest burning in pain.

He stood up straight in embarrassment and looked up at the people around him. Everyone’s face was full of mockery and contempt.

Wen Niannan took a few steps back, pushed away from the crowd, and ran out frantically.

In other people’s eyes, he was fleeing after his tricks were exposed, which proved to everyone that he was in fact the vicious person they thought he was.

It was unexpected of them that Mr. Gu was so affectionate for the new love that he didn’t even consider how would turn out for his current partner. Seeing that the cause of this cause ran away, the people soon wanted to move away.

“Wait,” Gu Yansheng’s cold voice sounded, and everyone froze in place.

“I hope that you can all forget everything that happened today and pretend that it never happened. I don’t want to hear anyone discuss what happened today.”

The people present had all been in the circle for many years. None would ignore this obvious threat.

Gu Yansheng looked at Wen Niannan’s departure with an irregular expression.

“Yansheng.”

“What’s wrong? Does it still hurt?” He looked down at and saw that the person’s hand in his arms was still red.

“I’m okay, but everyone’s still here. It’s not the best for you to hold me like that.”

“I’ll get you some medicine. Wait for me on the sofa.”

As soon as Gu Yansheng left, Shen Luoan immediately walked to the balcony. After a while, the balcony door was opened, and a man dressed as a waiter came in.

“Did you get it?”

The man took out a camera and handed it to Shen Luoan, “Yes, I recorded the whole thing.”

“Nice. I’ll wire the promised payment to your card tomorrow.”

Shen Luoan leaned his arm on the balcony railing and check the content inside the camera. An evil smile appeared on his face as he said in a deep voice, “Wen Niannan, I’ll see what you have let to compete against me now.”

After that, he put the camera away and left the balcony; however, he did not realize that someone else was standing on the lawn directly under the balcony.

After drinking too much, Tang Lunxuan wanted to get some fresh air, but unexpectedly, he overheard Shen Luoan’s suspicious deal.

He saw the chaos just then from outside. Since it was not something that he could control, he could only feel pity for Wen Niannan.

“Sir, eavesdropping is not the work of a gentleman.”

The sudden cold voice in his ears shocked Tang Lunxuan. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a face right beside his and bumped directly into it.

“Ouch… it hurts,” Tang Lunxuan clutched his forehead, but when he tried to look at who it was that scared him, he found a crack in his glasses. His face instantly turned red from anger.

“What a coincidence, I met you again,” Zhou Yuanfeng didn’t expect to meet this guy who apparently also enjoys staying away from the crowd as he does.

“You broke my glasses, and I’ll make you pay for it,” Although his expression was serious, his words still seemed a little funny.

“I’m sorry. I can buy a few more of those for you.”

Tang Lunxuan didn’t want to deal with such an unreasonable person, so he walked up to that person and suddenly stepped on Zhou Yuanfeng’s foot.

After stepping on it, Tang Lunxuan realized that he was the one being a little unreasonable now. Fortunately, someone called for his name from the inside, so he took the chance and rushed away in a hurry.

Seeing this person running away, Zhou Yuanfeng curled up the corners of his mouth unconsciously and drank the red wine in his glass.
