Chapter 28 : Patron, Please Keep Me 8 (2/2)

“Is it any of your business where I go?” Since they had already evolved into full-blown enemies then she had no need to be pleasant to Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan’s face changed slightly. Seeing that Shi Sheng was alone however, she smiled and spoke mockingly, “Has Ms Jiang not found a companion to accompany you? Being so lonely is rather pitiful, Boss Lu, why don’t you find Ms Jiang a partner?”

Towards the end, Lin Shanshan was pretty much sticking onto Lu Dapeng. Pleased by her action, Lu Dapeng who had his hand on her waist fondled her a bit as he spoke with a smile, “What kind of companion is Ms Jiang looking for? Though I don’t have much ability, I at least have some friends.”

He felt that Jiang Wan looked pretty good, a pity he preferred the mature type; They were more fun in bed.

“Oh, does President Lu have any friends that are particularly handsome? President Lu you know that young people like me prefer good-looking partners since if they were too ugly, it would influence our appetite.” Shi Sheng ignored Lu Dapeng’s slowly hardening face as she revealed her teeth in a smile and spoke, “If President Lu knows someone like this, I would hope you’d introduce them to me.”

Lu Dapeng wasn’t dumb, he obviously managed to hear her underlying meaning; She was indirectly calling him old and ugly.

“Ms Jiang, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit[1].” Lu Dapeng suppressed the flames of his anger. “In Qing City, as long as I say the word, don’t even think about remaining in this circle.”

Lin Shanshan stood at the side and watched Shi Sheng with an arrogant and mocking gaze. She had thought that this woman wouldn’t dare to directly oppose Lu Dapeng and had been planning to fan the flames a bit more but who knew this woman was this dumb to offend Lu Dapeng. Who wasn’t aware that Lu Dapeng absolutely loathed when people called him ugly or old? She wanted to see how this woman would be able to remain in the circle any longer.

‘Should’ve considered more before opposing me.’

“Toast? When did President Lu propose a toast to me? If President Lu decides to toast me, I naturally won’t refuse.” Shi Sheng’s tone was extremely sincere. “But President Lu clearly didn’t make any toasts, aren’t you wronging me here? President Lu, you can’t just bully me because I’m young!”

“Well aren’t you an eloquent little lass.” Lu Dapeng was so pissed he started laughing before speaking viciously, “There’ll be a time when you’ll beg me. We’ll settle our score then.”

He didn’t believe he was unable to fix a little girl. All these newbies had some youthful arrogance in them, thinking that this circle was that easy to stay in.

“Who does Second Uncle Lu want to settle scores with?” A clear voice with hints of laughter in it sounded from behind Lu Dapeng. Lu Dapeng froze as the expression on his face changed drastically. ‘Why do I seem to have heard… THAT person’s voice? This isn’t possible, wasn’t he overseas? But who else other than him could cause the air to be suffused with killing intent just by calling ‘Second Uncle Lu’?’

Shi Sheng had been facing the door so of course she saw who had spoken as he’d walked in. The lamplight lit up his features. It was as if a layer of light added to him and he seemed like an immortal from a painting. Those inky-black eyes sucked in those who met them.

He wasn’t wearing a tuxedo but casual attire yet he didn’t seem out of place at all in this luxurious and high-class setting. Every step he took was as if it had landed on one’s heart, causing it to tremble. He was like a king who had the reverence of countless people.

He seemed to be a body of light, able to attract the attention of all without a single word.

Lu Dapeng’s last hope was extinguished when he saw who it was. He felt his throat growing dry. His scalp was tingling while his back had already been drenched in cold sweat. In the end, he couldn’t help but harden his scalp to speak, “When did Eldest Young Master return? You should’ve at least informed us.”

Lu Qingyun stood there with his brilliant smile and it seemed like thousands upon thousands of pear blossoms were blooming, “Do I need to report when I decide to return to Second Uncle Lu?”

[1] Common saying used as a threat. It’s like saying, “Look, you better agree while I’m still being nice, or else!”
