Chapter 2421 Settlement of Accounts

Yuan Kun didn't know that his past had been exposed by Zhao Shucheng. He was very happy to see the two candidates recommended to him by Lin Bai, especially Chen Xiufeng, who was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

He wanted Lin Bai to stay and help him complete the project, but Lin Bai refused.

Lin Bai's excuse was that the last time Qu Minjing's case was entrusted to Zheng Qiudong, Lin Bai was also involved, but Yuan Kun messed it up. If he helped Yuan Kun again, it would undoubtedly make others think that Yuan Kun was incompetent, so Yuan Kun needed to prove his ability.

Yuan Kun also wanted Lin Bai to tell him where Chen Xiufeng was now, but he didn't expect that Lin Bai didn't know anything at all, and even the information he had only covered his whereabouts from more than a year ago.

Yuan Kun suddenly felt a little overwhelmed and could only ask his assistant Mina to find a way to find out Chen Xiufeng's whereabouts.

However, what Yuan Kun did not expect was that things would soon take a turn. Jia Yimei and Mina were roommates before, and they had an appointment to have dinner together. Jia Yimei brought the information about Chen Xiufeng that Zheng Qiudong asked her to investigate without any precautions, and Mina saw it.

Zhao Shucheng originally wanted to go home with Luo Yiren to celebrate, but he received a call from a partner, asking them to have dinner together in the evening.

Luo Yiren naturally heard Zhao Shucheng's call and took the initiative to say, "It's okay for me, go quickly!"

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, asked Luo Yiren to call him after she got home, and then followed her to the agreed restaurant.

Zhao Shucheng entered the restaurant and was about to go to the private room when he was unexpectedly bumped into by a girl who looked uncomfortable.

Zhao Shucheng was just about to say something when he discovered that the person in front of him was an acquaintance, An Qinghuan.

"An Qinghuan?"

When An Qinghuan heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw that it was Zhao Shucheng. She immediately smiled drunkenly and said, "Mr. Zhao, it's you!"

Zhao Shucheng frowned and said, "Why are you so drunk? Are you here to discuss business?"

"No, it's a class reunion!"

"You can't drink like this at a class reunion, no matter how happy you are. Let me take you home!"

"No, no!" An Qinghuan said as she hurried to the bathroom, and staggered out after a long time.

"Are you OK?"

An Qinghuan waved her hands and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine. I can still drink! By the way, Mr. Zhao, can I trouble you for something?"

"what's up?"

"Can you pretend to be my boyfriend and go to the class reunion with me? These people look down on me, but I want to let them know how well I am doing and how handsome my boyfriend is."

Zhao Shucheng frowned and said, "Are you sure? You are drunk now and your mind is not clear. You will regret it when you wake up."

"No, I'm sober and I know what I'm doing."

When Zhao Shucheng saw An Qinghuan like this, he knew that if he didn't send her back, he didn't know what kind of trouble would come out, so he could only help her back to the box.

An Qinghuan's classmates were talking loudly, but when they saw Zhao Shucheng helping An Qinghuan back, they suddenly became quiet. Although some of them did not know Zhao Shucheng's identity, looking at Zhao Shucheng's face and the clothes on his body that were obviously worth a lot of money, they naturally knew that Zhao Shucheng's identity was not simple.

An Qinghuan's best friend Zhugan didn't expect that her best friend would come back with a handsome guy after going out for a while. She quickly stepped forward to support An Qinghuan and asked, "Qinghuan, who is this?"

An Qinghuan smiled and said, "This is my boyfriend, Zhao Shucheng, he's here to pick me up."

Zhao Shucheng nodded to the others and said, "Qinghuan drank too much, I will take her home first. Thank you for your hospitality. I have already paid the bill, you can continue eating and drinking."

Zhugan was a little worried. After all, she and An Qinghuan were good friends who could talk about anything. She naturally knew that her best friend didn't have a boyfriend at all. She could only say, "Qinghuan, I'll go back with you guys!"

Before An Qinghuan could say anything, Zhao Shucheng said, "Okay, you can help me take care of her in the car later."

After coming out of the box, Zhao Shucheng asked Zhugan to support An Qinghuan first, while he called Mr. Wang and told him that he had encountered some problems and that he could not have dinner with him today and that he was very sorry.

Zhugan naturally heard Zhao Shucheng's call, and immediately said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, otherwise I can just send Qinghuan back, and you can go to the appointment."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. After all, An Qinghuan and I are acquainted, so it's okay to send her back. Besides, maybe your classmates are leaning against the window to watch at this moment, and you don't want An Qinghuan to be gossiped about by others, right?"

"OK then!"

But just as Zhao Shucheng and the others were about to leave, An Qinghuan suddenly broke free from Zhugan's arm, staggered forward, and bumped into a young man.

The other party was on the phone and was caught off guard by the collision. His phone fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"You have no eyes, what are you doing so rashly?"

An Qinghuan didn't even see who was in front of him. He just took out his phone and slapped it on the other person's hand, saying, "I'll compensate you!"

However, Zhao Shucheng had already recognized that the man opposite him was Zhai Zhiwei, one of An Qinghuan's suitors in the original plot.

Zhai Zhiwei naturally couldn't just let it go because An Qinghuan compensated him for the phone. Besides, the other party didn't show any sincerity in apologizing. He said angrily, "This is a birthday gift from my mother. How can your crappy phone compare to it?"

This made An Qinghuan very angry. The two of them immediately blamed each other and later even started swearing at each other in English.

Zhugan seemed a little embarrassed at the side. She looked at Zhao Shucheng and felt that her best friend had lost all face today.

An Qinghuan was not done cursing yet. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he stepped on Zhai Zhiwei's cell phone which had just fallen to the ground and smashed it into pieces.

Zhai Zhiwei was now very angry and was about to call the police, but was stopped by Zhao Shucheng.

"I'm sorry, my friend drank too much and her mind is not clear. She is not like this usually. Let us give you the phone as compensation, and she will also give you compensation after she sobers up. Just leave your contact information."

Zhao Shucheng took An Qinghuan's phone from Zhai Zhiwei's hand and stuffed him a stack of money as compensation for this matter. When Zhai Zhiwei wanted to say something, he was pulled away by his classmates.

Zhugan looked at Zhao Shucheng apologetically and said, "I'm sorry for making you spend money today. But don't worry, when Qinghuan wakes up from the alcohol, I will definitely ask her to return the money to you."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I thought you would help her pay me back first."

Zhugan shook his head and said, "I have always been a man who makes clear accounts between brothers. Whenever money is involved, responsibilities must be clear. I don't want my friendship with Qinghuan to be damaged because of some money."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "There aren't many friends like you who are as sensible and clear-headed as you are now."

When they arrived at the parking lot, An Qinghuan was led to the back seat by Zhugan.

Zhao Shucheng was just about to start the car when he noticed that not far away, a woman was struggling with a man, and they seemed somewhat reluctant.

Zhao Shucheng was a little puzzled. What day was it that made him encounter such a thing? But since it appeared in front of him, it was impossible for him to just ignore it and watch the woman being bullied.

"You guys sit in the car for a while, I'll go check out what's going on. If it's convenient, please help me record a video so I don't get blackmailed."

Zhugan nodded, took out his cell phone and looked at the man and woman entangled with each other.

After Zhao Shucheng got out of the car, he came up to them and said, "Excuse me, what is your relationship? Girl, did this person bully you?"

Lin Yue and Tang Zhigang noticed Zhao Shucheng's arrival and quickly separated. Lin Yue just noticed that Zhao Shucheng got out of the car and it was obvious that he was not someone who was short of money.

"We are classmates, and we just had a small dispute."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Tang Xiaogang and said, "This doesn't seem like a small dispute. They say that a class reunion is a class reunion, and breaking up a couple is a couple. You don't think so too, do you?"

"What do you know? We were lovers before, it's none of your business."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I really can't control it, but the lady just said that you are just classmates, and I think she should have a new boyfriend or husband. It's wrong for you to keep pestering her. Men should be more generous. If you don't have feelings for each other, you shouldn't pester each other. Of course, if you still have feelings, then I advise you to wait until this lady breaks up or divorces before getting together. Otherwise, this behavior is immoral, or do you just like the feeling of stealing?"

Without waiting for Tang Xiaogang to say anything, Zhao Shucheng said to Lin Yue, "Ma'am, you should also pay attention to the proper manners between men and women. Although we are not in a feudal society now and there is no strict separation between men and women, if you are a wife or girlfriend, you will eventually separate if you don't pay attention to the proper manners. Besides, a man who likes to steal feelings is not worthy of your lifelong trust."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for them to say anything. After all, he had recognized the man and woman in front of him, Ding Renjian's wife Lin Yue and his good friend Tang Xiaogang.

Zhao Shucheng was too lazy to care about the emotional entanglement between the three of them. After all, it was difficult for an honest judge to judge family affairs, let alone such a complicated love triangle.

According to the plot, Tang Xiaogang and Lin Yue were lovers, but Lin Yue later chose to fall in love and marry Ding Renjian. Later, because Tang Xiaogang was richer than Ding Renjian and bought her nice clothes and bags, she chose to break up with Ding Renjian and rekindle her relationship with Tang Xiaogang.

Zhao Shucheng thought Lin Yue was actually a simple gold digger, but she chose Ding Renjian because she saw that he could make a name for himself and his family was from Beijing. But she didn't expect that Ding Renjian was a hopeless case. He was fired by his boss because he led his colleagues to ask for a pay raise.

On the contrary, Tang Xiaogang, who she thought had no future at first, achieved good results after graduation. Now he is a big boss with money and free time. Naturally, she was attracted to him again.

But at this moment, Lin Yue was staring at Zhao Shucheng's car. She had just noticed that Zhao Shucheng's car was very expensive, and there were two girls sitting in the back. No matter what their relationship was, at least it was worthy of recognition that Zhao Shucheng was rich.

In comparison, although Tang Xiaogang is rich, the car he drives can barely be considered a luxury car. Compared with Ding Renjian, it is good, but compared with Zhao Shucheng, it is probably a little worse.

She has no plans to divorce Ding Renjian yet. Even if she does, she wants to find a better one, not someone who is neither good nor bad.

After Zhao Shucheng sent An Qinghuan and Zhugan home, he drove directly back to his own home.

When Luo Yiren saw Zhao Shucheng coming back, she greeted him warmly and even prepared slippers for him to change into.

But just as she was taking off Zhao Shucheng's coat, she suddenly sniffed, then pretended nothing had happened and continued to take care of Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng said, "Yiren, have you eaten? My date with Mr. Wang was delayed because of something, so I haven't eaten yet."

Luo Yiren said, "I have eaten. What do you want to eat? I will make it for you now."

Zhao Shucheng said, "Don't bother. I'll just cook some noodles. By the way, did you smell the alcohol and perfume on my clothes just now, so you have some ideas in your mind?"

"No, I don't smell anything."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the somewhat nervous Luo Yiren, and directly embraced her and sat down, saying, "Okay, don't let your imagination run wild by yourself. If you have anything to say, you can ask me directly. I don't want to hide it from you, and I don't want us to be suspicious of each other in the future."

"You didn't smell it wrong, it was indeed the scent of a girl's perfume, but I have to say that this was just a coincidence. When I went to the restaurant, I ran into An Qinghuan, who I had met before. She went to a class reunion, drank too much, and bumped into me. Later, she asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend and show my face in front of my classmates, so I could only send her home first."

After hearing this, Luo Yiren suddenly smiled and said, "I don't disbelieve you. Besides, if you really have something going on with another woman, this time is not enough."

"Well, since you know everything, why don't you say anything and let me worry."

"I'm just afraid that after I ask you, you'll think I don't trust you."

Zhao Shucheng kissed her fiercely and said, "Don't do this in the future. If there are any problems, we must communicate in time and not be suspicious of each other."

"Okay, I promise, if you let me get up first, I'll make you some noodles."

"I suddenly feel that noodles are not urgent, I would rather eat you first."

Luo Yiren struggled and said, "That won't work either. I have to turn off the fire. Otherwise, what if it burns through?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Forget it, I'll cook with you, and I'll settle the score with you after we finish eating!"

Luo Yiren suddenly tensed up after hearing this. She remembered very clearly that once Zhao Shucheng said he was going to settle a score with her and made her unable to walk normally for two days. Could it be that this time...
