Chapter 118
In the past, she wouldn’t say a word to him; they’d go days barely exchanging a couple of sentences. But now, not only did she talk, but Chen Fan even suspected that, if given the chance, this woman would swallow him whole—she was scary, like a crazed lioness.
“So what exactly happened tonight?”
Cao Zijin took Chen Fan’s hand and led him to the couch, saying, “Listen, don’t be angry. Today, I played a little trick on Ye Aotian.”
“A trick?”
“Yes. I mean, come on, he knows I’m engaged to you, but he still tried to talk to me. What kind of person does that? I can’t stand people like him.”
“So … you’re saying you’re late because of that?”
“Dummy, don’t you realize? You had Tao Xiaoyao guard me, right? So of course, I was being watched. Why would I do anything that foolish?”
“And then?”
“We just had some drinks. Ye Aotian wants to be a celebrity. It’s natural; he doesn’t know anyone in the entertainment world. Plus, your company is the one I represent, and I don’t think anyone else is as popular as me. So he has no choice but to become a star himself to boost his company’s stock.”
“Good reasoning. Go on.”
Cao Zijin continued, “So I got him drunk, then had him knocked out and sent to a hotel.”
“Why’d you knock him out?”
“Do you know Fei Fei?”
“I don’t. Who’s that?”
“Let’s put it this way: he’s a homosexual man, and he’s also Ye Aotian’s agent.”
Although Chen Fan knew Fei Fei was gay, it was only hinted at subtly in the novel, never stated outright. The author probably intended to illustrate the chaotic nature of the entertainment industry with this. But that’s just a side note.
“What does this have to do with Fei Fei?”
“I slipped Fei Fei some drugs.”
Chen Fan suddenly perked up, staring at Cao Zijin. “You … drugged him? Are you out of your mind?”
“It’s simple, really. I got him drunk, slipped him some drugs, and left him next to Ye Aotian. I’m telling you, Fei Fei actually has feelings for Ye Aotian.”
Chen Fan took a deep breath, walked over to the window, let out a scream, and punched the glass, shattering it.
Returning to the room, he muttered, “I’m so tired.”
“Honey, are you just overjoyed?”
“Nothing, go on. What happened next?”
“Well, I had to wait and see, right? After all, honey, you said you wanted to deal with Ye Aotian personally. I wouldn’t dare to overstep.”
“Anyway, nothing else happened. Ling Xiaoyun eventually sent Fei Fei away to another place. Don’t worry, Fei Fei might remember something, but Ye Aotian definitely won’t.”
Only then did Chen Fan breathe a sigh of relief. “You’re sure?”
“Of course, I’m sure. If I wasn’t, do you think I’d tell you? Tao Xiaoyao knocked him out, and I gave him an extra dose just to be safe. I didn’t want him to wake up because of his martial skills.”
Chen Fan felt slightly reassured. Honestly, he knew that if Ye Aotian ever found out, he’d probably kill himself.
“And what about Ling Xiaoyun?”
“Don’t worry. Ling Xiaoyun won’t say anything. He wouldn’t dare. After all, he’s known about Xiao Lan and Zheng Shaoyang’s little affair, hasn’t he? And he’s kept quiet about that.”
The only reason Ling Xiaoyun didn’t carry Ye Aotian out was because the scene was just too disgusting to handle. He had no choice but to leave. But when he got back, he stumbled upon Xiao Lan and Zheng Shaoyang’s little affair.
Now he was starting to feel a bit sorry for Ye Aotian. Honestly, if Ye Aotian ever learned about this, he’d be utterly devastated. Better to let things take their course. Ling Xiaoyun figured he wouldn’t be able to eat for the next few days.
Back at the villa, Chen Fan, feeling conflicted as Cao Zijin massaged his legs, said, “You did well on this, but in the future, try not to meddle too much.”
“Here, honey, drink some water. I bought it for you.”
Chen Fan took a sip and said, “Alright, go get some rest. Remember, don’t meddle in things you shouldn’t be involved in.”
“I promise to listen.” With that, Cao Zijin hurried off.
Chen Fan returned to his room, propped his legs up, and sighed.
Just then, the door opened, and Zhu Yeqing entered with a midnight snack.
“Young master, I saw you venting downstairs.”
Chen Fan replied, “Yes, I’m angry. They don’t listen to me, always going against me. I need to show them what I’m capable of. Ye Aotian, I’ll personally see to his destruction.”
But that’s beside the point. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Chen Fan got up, looked at the snack on the table, and, without hesitation, flipped it onto the floor. Then he scooped Zhu Yeqing up.
“Tonight, I’m filled with anger.”
Zhu Yeqing looked on in disbelief. Could it be …?
Sometimes, the things you wait for feel a bit frightening when they finally happen.
…
In her room, Cao Zijin was busy filing her nails, checking the time.
She glanced out the window, laughing to herself. She was really nailing this villain role. After all, wives like her are hard to come by.
Maybe because she’d seen enough love and hatred in the entertainment world, she rarely believed in love.
Take her father, for example; he had many women. But in the end, this household could only ever have one woman.
Her mother had never truly found happiness.
Yawning, she sent a message to Zhu Yeqing.
“Asleep?”
“You’re so bored?”
“Not really. Just sending a message. Did you enjoy your little gift?”
Zhu Yeqing chuckled. “What’s it to you? Sorry, but I’m Chen Fan’s first woman.”
“I know. I was the one who drugged you, didn’t you know?”
Zhu Yeqing suddenly felt a tinge of disappointment and typed, “Why? I don’t get it.”
“You’re the only one who’s stuck with Chen Fan, the only one who believes in him. I don’t trust the Chen family. Chen Changsheng tried to kill Chen Fan, so I doubt the Chen family wouldn’t want him dead.”
