Chapter 16 : Rich Family’s Young Miss 16 (2/2)

After all, she carried grenades around with her, how would he not be surprised? Shi Sheng walked over to face Chu Tang, “To be able to surprise Mr Chu is my honour.”

Chu Tang stared at Shi Sheng with interest for a few seconds before leaning forward and turning the notebook in front of him to face Shi Sheng. On the notebook was footage from the villa after it had exploded. Ling Hao seemed to have been knocked unconscious from the explosion and was currently being taken away for treatment. Nangong Jing and Su Yiyi were standing to the side. Su Yiyi’s eyes were thoroughly reddened while Nangong Jing patiently consoled her. Shi Sheng only cast a glance before losing her interest and shutting the notebook.

Chu Tang’s gaze darkened a bit. His voice was clear yet brought a few traces of almost undetectable danger, “You’re just going to let them off?”

“Would you let off those who wanted to kill you?” Shi Sheng answered him with a question. As if he had gotten the answer he had wanted, the danger in Chu Tang’s eyes faded to be replaced by smiles.

Shi Sheng muttered inwardly, ‘This pervert wanted to kill me just now! Don’t say I’m paranoid, my intuition can’t be wrong!’

“Why are you here?” Shi Sheng pulled herself back to the present. She had thought that he had only come here by coincidence but when his assistant had gone to fetch him as well as the camera footage, she didn’t think that way any longer.

“Why don’t you guess?”

‘Guess your head!’

“Did Mr Chu fall for me and seeing me leave with Nangong Jing was jealous so you followed?” ‘Since you made me guess I will disgust you to death!’

As expected, Chu Tang’s smile disappeared a bit. “Ms Xu, have you ever heard of an idiom?”

“What idiom?” Shi Sheng got on guard.

“Disasters originate from the mouth[1].” Chu Tang’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as a smile climbed onto his face. However, that smiled was filled with danger as an oppressive aura emanated from his body, pressuring people to the point of being unable to breathe.

Shi Sheng retreated as her eyes shifted. Her expression immediately went into ‘flattering bootlicker mode’ as she spoke, “Did you hear something just now? I forgot to eat my medicine just now so please don’t find any fault with this mental patient.”

“What illness have you contracted?”

Shi Sheng spoke in a ‘bashful’ voice, “I’ve contracted an illness called ‘In-love With Mr Chu Syndrome’. Mr Chu is my medicine.”

Chu Tang, “…”

If it wasn’t for Chu Tang’s gaze not being quite right, Shi Sheng would have succeeded in her attempt at flirting.

And the assistant and bodyguards hiding behind the corner were all startled. ‘Ms Xu actually dares to take verbal liberties[2] with Young Master Chu. Ms Xu we are joining up to give you a praise- no, no, 365 praises[3]!’

[1] Basically it’s when a disagreement with severe consequences arises as a result of someone’s words. You don’t spew disasters, unfortunately.

[2] The original phrase was ‘调戏’ or ‘tiao2xi4’ which is usually used when a guy sexually harasses a woman with words.

[3] I think this is a reference to slang in China which I am not aware of. Just take it that they are really in admiration of her.
