Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Chapter 23 is made to look like someone caught cheating.

Actually, ever since they were in school, Lu Xingci had assumed that Xu Zhiwei would end up with Jiang Wenzhao.

Unexpectedly, her words were met with opposition from both of them.

The two refused in unison.

"How is that possible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhiwei and Jiang Wenzhao looked at each other.

Xu Zhiwei pointed at him angrily.

"It's perfectly normal for me not to like you, but what does this disdainful attitude mean!"

"I don't care, you won't be leaving tonight without bleeding profusely."

Jiang Wenzhao rolled her eyes at her.

"At your age, why are you still like you were in school, always finding lame excuses to blackmail me?"

Xu Zhiwei shook her head smugly.

"Just blackmail me, just blackmail me, who told you to look down on me?"

While the three were chatting and laughing and joking around in the booth on the first floor, Shen Yu was drinking and playing cards with his friends in a private room on the third floor.

"All suits, self-drawn."

As Shen Yu spoke, he pushed the mahjong tiles over, took a puff of his cigarette, put it out, and stood up.

"You guys are so bad, there's no fun playing with you guys."

He's been here for ten minutes, won two rounds, and both were high-scoring hands.

He started to find it boring.

Upon hearing this, Duan Lingfeng smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Yu, what do you think? Isn't this place nice?"

The bar that Duan Lingfeng recently bought is located in the evening breeze.

The original owner had to sell the profitable bar to cover the losses from other businesses that were suffering heavy losses.

Duan Lingfeng got lucky.

Shen Yu leaned back lazily in his chair, his gaze sweeping around the room.

"It's alright, but it's so boring. Why come here to play cards when you can play anywhere else?"

Just then, the music started playing, and Duan Lingfeng spoke mysteriously.

"I specially invited a lot of foreigners today, let's go join the fun?"

Shen Yu scoffed, showing little interest.

"What, you've never seen a foreigner before?"

Seeing how Lu Xingci and Song Qinghui acted this afternoon, I felt like they were about to successfully break into the other side of the relationship.

I was originally planning to have a late-night snack together and give it my all.

After being rejected by Lu Xingci, he lost interest in everything, and even winning money didn't make him happy.

Shen Yu was pushed by his friend to the terrace outside the private room on the third floor.

The terrace faces the lobby on the first floor, and you can see the foreign models dancing wildly on the stage at a glance.

There were both men and women present, and their looks and figures were indeed quite good, which created a lively atmosphere at the scene.

But Shen Yu spotted Lu Xingci in the booth at a glance.

An unusual excitement appeared on his previously uninterested face.

He curled his lips into a cold laugh.

"ha."

You went out to play by yourself, and then told him you were asleep?

Shen Yu edited the message, preparing to tease her.

buzzing.

The phone on the table vibrated twice.

Lu Xingci turned his gaze away from the stage, grabbed his phone, and swiped the screen.

Upon seeing Shen Yu's name, he put the message back on the table without even opening it.

As soon as the first round of energetic dancing on stage ended, Xu Zhiwei excitedly screamed as she returned to her booth.

She picked up her wine glass and nudged Lu Xingci with her shoulder.

"So, what happened when you got home yesterday?"

Lu Xingci picked up his wine glass, clinked it with hers, and briefly recounted what had happened at home yesterday.

"What the hell? Are your parents even human? What era are we living in? Selling your daughter for a son's dowry!"

Xu Zhiwei slammed her hand on the table in anger, stood up with her hands on her hips, and looked like she wanted to rush over and beat the person up right now.

After ranting for a full three minutes, she suddenly remembered something and sat back down on the sofa.

"But why did Shen Yu go to your house? Did you tell him you went back?"

Lu Xingci shook his head.

She couldn't figure out how Shen Yu knew.

She clearly only told Xu Zhiwei about this.

Xu Zhiwei also frowned as she recalled.

After finishing overtime work yesterday, she planned to meet up with Lu Xingci to celebrate her breakup and getting rid of her mama's boy.

But Lu Xingci went home unexpectedly, so she had no choice but to go back to the company to work overtime.

She ran into a colleague in the elevator, and when the colleague asked about it, she briefly mentioned it.

Shen Yu was also in the elevator at that time, but she didn't pay attention to it, since he didn't know her.

Was it around that time...?

Xu Zhiwei frowned, feeling that this matter was very strange.

Is Shen Yu so attentive to Xing Ci because of Song Qinghui?

That shouldn't be the case; even Song Qinghui himself wasn't that concerned.

Xu Zhiwei shook her head.

"Forget it, don't think about it. He helped you get rid of those bloodsucking worms by chance, which is a good thing. Consider it a good deed on his part."

Lu Xingci smiled and clinked glasses with her.

"We really have to thank him for this."

If it weren't for Shen Yu, I might never have been able to escape that house.

As the second round of hot dance began, Xu Zhiwei was quickly attracted by the models on the stage and screamed as she ran to the center of the dance floor.

The phone on the table vibrated several times in a row. Lu Xingci was hesitating whether to look at it when Jiang Wenzhao returned after finishing his call.

Where is Xu Zhiwei?

Lu Xingci raised his chin.

"There she is, she couldn't wait to rush onto the stage."

Jiang Wenzhao hesitated for a moment, preparing to ask her about her relationship with Song Qinghui.

What is your relationship with Song Qinghui, the boss of JL?

Just then, the music in the hall suddenly swelled up, and screams rose in waves.

Lu Xingci didn't hear clearly, so she tilted her head and moved closer to Jiang Wenzhao.

"What did you say?"

She asked, almost shouting.

Jiang Wenzhao downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, as if to bolster his courage.

He leaned closer, but before he could speak, Lu Xingci looked up and saw Shen Yu.

He was wearing a white shirt with the top few buttons undone, revealing his fair skin and the outline of his full chest muscles.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood leisurely behind Jiang Wenzhao.

Seeing her looking over, Shen Yu's eyebrows curved into a sinister smile.

Lu Xingci felt a chill run up his spine.

Noticing her gaze, Jiang Wenzhao also turned around.

"Who are you?"

Shen Yu didn't even glance at him, and walked straight towards Lu Xingci.

He stood in front of Lu Xingci, bent down, picked up the phone and handed it to Lu Xingci, kindly reminding him.

"You've got a message coming in, aren't you going to take a look?"

He was on the third floor, watching her ignore his messages and watching her whisper to another man so close to him.

He remembered that man.

In the afternoon at Qin's Private Kitchen, she not only chatted and laughed with the other person, but even touched him inappropriately.

They seem to have a very close relationship.

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Yu rushed up to Lu Xingci in a fit of anger.

Right now, the two are facing each other silently, one standing and one sitting, one tall and one short.

Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and handed the phone forward again.

Jiang Wenzhao asked suspiciously, the question being directed at Lu Xingci.

"Your friend?"

Lu Xingci's expression wasn't good. "It doesn't count."

After she finished speaking, she reached out her hand, but just as her fingertips were about to touch the phone, Shen Yu suddenly pulled back.

He turned around and sat down between Lu Xingci and Jiang Wenzhao.

He was tall, and the originally spacious seat suddenly felt cramped when he squeezed in.

Lu Xingci reluctantly moved to the side.

"Shen Yu, what are you doing?"

Shen Yu rested his elbows on the back of the sofa, behind Lu Xingci, as if he were hugging her from behind.

Upon hearing this, he tilted his head slightly and gave a lazy smile.

"I just happened to run into Miss Lu and thought I'd come over and say hello."

Why are you so nervous, Miss Lu? It's like I caught you cheating."

As he spoke, he leaned his upper body down, getting closer to Lu Xingci.

"What's wrong? Feeling guilty? Is this man really your lover?"

Jiang Wenzhao didn't recognize Shen Yu and thought it was like when Lu Xingci met a frivolous lecher, just like when they were in school.

He stood up and was about to pull the person back when an arm reached out from behind, grabbed Jiang Wenzhao's shoulder, and pulled him back.

"Our brother Yu said to just say hello, don't you understand?"
