Chapter 20: I Was Fooled (2/2)

He Zheng watched He Qin with an expression of utmost disgust. Of all three children of Qiao Peiyu, he hated He Qin the most.

He Zheng immediately took the wine glass and heavily hurled it down to the ground. The silvery smash caught attention of a lot of guests.

Heedless of the disapproving gaze of people around him, He Zheng stopped a waiter in front of He Qin, took a towel to wipe his shoulder which He Qin had just touched, crumpled it into a ball and threw it back onto the tray. Then he slid a provocative, sideways glance at He Qin.

Without casting another look at He Qin, He Zheng turned around and left.

Some people around the scene began to discuss He Zheng's behavior in a low voice. Hearing the whispering of guests and watching He Zheng's figure, He Qin smiled and shook his head, the look in his eyes so deep that it gave little away.

After a few steps forward, He Zheng felt that something was not right, sleepiness flooding him in waves. He shook his head and suddenly felt that his soul had walked out of his body, and with that he saw ”himself” heading straight in the direction of He Changchun.

Probably because He Zheng was acting a little strangely, He Changchun called in an unhappy tone of voice, ”He Zheng, what are you doing? Come here and greet Uncle Lin.”

Beside him stood a middle-aged man whom He Zheng had met a few times before. He vaguely remembered that the man was some big wig in SMB.

Watching ”himself” halt, He Zheng widened his eyes in astonishment. Then he saw that ”He Zheng” walked up to He Changchun and, with a sweet smile, knelt down before a well-dressed man and said, ”I like you. Will you marry me?”

The real He Zheng was suffering from dizziness and could barely think straight. All guests around ”He Zheng” heard him and instantly fell silent. Faces of He Changchun and the man beside him exhibited extreme embarrassment and anger.

Someone snickered, ”Is Childe He openly confessing his love to a man?”

That person's soft voice was heard by everybody present. Furious, He Changchun slapped He Zheng hard on the face.

”You shameless bastard!”

He Zheng watched that slap send ”himself” flying.

Guests in the hall instantly fell into discussion with each other. Most of them were laughing at He Zheng.

He Changchun's fingers were trembling with rage. ”Get him out of here! Find a way to sober him up!”

A couple of men immediately showed up and took He Zheng away. He could tell a mile off that somebody had had this planned out.

He Zheng floating in mid-air was consumed with fury. As he watched himself being dragged away powerless to resist, it instantly dawned on him that he was under someone's spell!

Such was He Zheng's rage that his mind was a total mess. Abruptly, he noticed that He Jin gave a grim smile in his direction.

It was him!
