《Crossdressing Woman Runs Away After Flirting With Someone》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Cheng Xinkai, call an ambulance! Hurry up and call an ambulance!¡± Today was Josie¡¯s twenty-seventh birthday. It was such a beautiful day, but she was kneeling on the ground in despair, letting the white hem of her dress be stained with blood. On her birthday, her parents died tragically in front of her eyes. Josie couldn¡¯t accept it. She lay next to her parents¡¯ bodies and cried until she couldn¡¯t breathe. She couldn¡¯t believe it. She couldn¡¯t believe that her parents were gone just like that. She looked at the man standing in front of her and crawled over to beg him. ¡°Xinkai, quickly get the doctor over. My parents¡­ Ah!¡± Before Josie could finish speaking, the man kicked her hard in the chest. It was so painful that she spat out a mouthful of blood and her internal organs ached.I ¡°I trusted you, Kai¡­¡± Josie looked up in disbelief. She couldn¡¯t believe that this man who had said gently that he loved her and wanted to marry her and protect her for the rest of his life had hit her. Cheng Xinkai¡¯s expression was gloomy as he looked down at Josie. ¡°They ate poison. They can¡¯t be saved.¡± Josie had never seen Cheng Xinkai like this before. He was sinister and terrifying. He acted completely different from before. ¡°Xinkai, you¡­¡± ¡°Josie, you also ate that poison. It was in the tea I personally made for you. It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t drink much, so the poison took effect slower. How do you feel now? Are your internal organs hurting, as if you¡¯re being burned? Don¡¯t worry. Soon, you¡¯ll bleed from your seven orifices and die just like your parents. Even gods won¡¯t be able to save you,¡± Cheng Xinkai muttered with a demonic expression. Josie¡¯s mind exploded. This was the man she¡¯d loved for seven years? This devil of a man? All the servants in the house were on leave today because Cheng Xinkai had said he wanted to give her a big gift on her birthday. She thought he was going to propose, but in the end he wanted the lives of her entire family. Josie suddenly smiled. ¡°Cheng Xinkai, what have I done to you? What have my parents done to you to make you so crazy as to poison us¡­¡± Her internal organs were hurting as if knives were stabbing her, but Josie still wanted to know why. If not, even if she died, she would become a ghost! Cheng Xinkai said, ¡°Josie, if you die, everything in the Qiao family will be mine. Did you really think I¡¯ll marry you? Are you worthy of me? The woman I, Cheng Xinkai, will marry in the future will only be a real daughter of a prestigious family, not an extremely stupid woman like you. A woman like you deserves to be deceived and used. Your death is not worth pitying.¡± Cheng Xinkai was from Jing City University, and Josie was from an ordinary foreign language university. Although the reputation of her university was not as good as Jing City University, it was not considered a third-rate university. Josie chuckled. It turned out that Cheng Xinkai had never taken a fancy to her from the beginning and was just using her. ¡°Now that the Cheng family has successfully entered the ranks of the wealthy families in Jing City, I have to thank you for your help. You took so much money and spent so much effort to help me raise the Cheng Corporation, and your Qiao family will completely disappear from this world. Josie, are you happy? This is my birthday gift to you.¡± The sarcasm in the corners of Cheng Xinkai¡¯s mouth became stronger and stronger. He raised his hand and ordered, ¡°Light the fire and burn it.¡± ¡°No! Cheng Xinkai, I won¡¯t let you off! I won¡¯t let you off even if I become a ghost!¡± Josie screamed at the top of her lungs. She was too stupid to realize the true personality of this demon! She had personally brought this demon Cheng Xinkai home who killed her parents! She was furious and hateful, but she could only spit out blood and endure the pain of her organs being torn apart. She watched as the fire spread bit by bit and finally swallowed the entire Qiao family. Cheng Xinkai! I curse you to die a horrible death! ¡­ ¡°Sheng Jiu, stop pretending to be dead. Hurry up and obey me. Stay with me, and I¡¯ll get my parents to go to the Sheng family tomorrow to discuss the marriage.¡± The burning pain on her cheek pulled Josie out of her daze. She struggled to open her eyes, but she was stunned by the scene in front of her. A beautiful woman was riding on her, slapping her and taking off her clothes! Josie couldn¡¯t care less. She pushed the woman away. ¡°Marriage my ass. I¡¯m a woman too!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Josie felt as if her head had been torn apart. There were many memories that didn¡¯t belong to her. She had already died in the fire. The original owner of this body was called Sheng Jiu. She was the youngest daughter of the Sheng family, one of the top wealthy families in Jing City. Because she was weak and sickly, the Sheng family listened to a priest and sent Sheng Jiu to a Buddhist temple to raise her. They even treated a good daughter as a boy. Eighteen years had passed, and Sheng Jiu was becoming more and more timid. Not only had she become useless, but her brain wasn¡¯t working well. When the Sheng family found out, they quickly brought Sheng Jiu home. The entire family doted on her like a treasure. Knowing that she was not used to long hair and dresses, they simply raised her as a son. Therefore, not many people knew that the youngest young master of the Sheng family was actually a young lady. Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations As for the woman on the ground who had fainted after being pushed by Josie, her name was Chu Ling¡¯er. In order to marry into a rich family, she had worked with her brother, Chu Haotian, to trick Sheng Jiu into coming to a hotel. She wanted to make things right. Who knew that the usually timid Sheng Jiu would suddenly resist? Chu Ling¡¯er flew into a rage out of humiliation and directly attacked Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu was not in good health to begin with. Coupled with the fact that Chu Ling¡¯er did not hold back, his life ended just like that. This also gave Josie a chance to reincarnate in Sheng Jiu¡¯s body. After receiving these unfamiliar memories, Josie was stunned for a long time. It seemed that the heavens had taken pity on her and allowed her to be reborn into Sheng Jiu¡¯s body. She would definitely seize this opportunity. Cheng Xinkai, just wait for your death! From today onwards, she was no longer the stupid Miss Qiao of the Qiao family, but the top wealthy family, Sheng Jiu! ¡°Ling¡¯er, did you succeed?¡± Chu Haotian¡¯s low voice came from outside. Sheng Jiu¡¯s heart was beating wildly. The drug in her body had begun to take effect. She had to escape immediately. After calming down for a moment, she picked up the ashtray on the table and slowly opened the door. ¡°Ling¡¯er? Sheng Jiu, you¡­ Ah!¡± Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t give Chu Haotian a chance to react. She threw an ashtray at Chu Haotian¡¯s head, and before he could react, she ran away! ¡°Sheng Jiu, don¡¯t let me catch you, or else¡­¡± Chu Haotian covered his head and cursed. Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t even look back. She just ran out with all her might and quickly left this godforsaken place. Then¡­ she bumped into a warm embrace. Instinctively, Shen Xiuwen wanted to push the person who suddenly bumped into her away. He looked impatient, but when he saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s red face, his hand stopped. Sheng Jiu took this opportunity to hug Shen Xiuwen¡¯s waist tightly. At this moment, the effects of the medicine kicked in. Her consciousness was scattered, and she could not endure the heat. She subconsciously rubbed against him. ¡°Hot¡­ so hot¡­ save me¡­¡± ¡°Fourth Master, we¡¯ve contacted Black Panther¡¯s people. You¡­¡± At this moment, the door to the room beside him opened. The tall and handsome He Sijun walked out. When he saw Shen Xiuwen lying under someone, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. Fourth Master was a clean freak. If someone dared to hug him like this, they probably didn¡¯t want to live anymore! ¡°Fourth Master, let me help you. I¡¯ll help you throw him out!¡± He Sijun was about to make a move when he saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s face which was abnormally red. It was obvious that she had been drugged. ¡°Aiyo, Fourth Master, isn¡¯t this that little fool from the Sheng family? In the past, he would hide himself when he saw you. Now, he even threw himself into your arms, but what is the use. Do you want to find a woman?¡± Shen Xiuwen: ¡°He Sijun, do you want to die? Ask Qi Rui to come over and find out what happened.¡± He Sijun said, ¡°Then Black Panther¡­¡± Shen Xiuwen replied, ¡°Leave him hanging for now.¡± Shen Xiuwen carried Sheng Jiu into the room, threw her into the bathtub, and turned on the tap. The cold water poured on Sheng Jiu, and she could not help but tremble. ¡°It¡¯s cold¡­¡± Sheng Jiu shivered and slowly opened his eyes to look at the man standing by the bathtub. The man was expressionless and his eyes were ruthless. The back of Sheng Jiu¡¯s head turned cold and she was completely awake. The Sheng family was one of the richest families in Jing City, while the Shen family was undoubtedly the richest family in Jing City. Their status was unparalleled. Now, the entire business empire of the Shen family was in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s hands. Shen Xiuwen was known as Fourth Master Shen. He had a ruthless personality and was decisive in killing. Anyone who dared to provoke him would not have a good ending. The outside world said that it was better to provoke the devil than Fourth Master Shen. The Sheng family and the Shen family were long-time friends. The children of the two families had known each other since they were young. However, Sheng Jiu was an exception. She had stayed in the Buddhist temple for eighteen years. After she was brought back to the Sheng family, she derailed from society. In addition, she was stupid and very shy. In addition, the person she was most afraid of was Shen Xiuwen, who had a terrifying aura. Every time she saw him, she had to hide because his murderous aura was too strong. ¡°That¡¯s right. Any woman can drug you. How useless. Soak well and come out when you¡¯re awake.¡± Shen Xiuwen looked down at Sheng Jiu with a cold expression. He looked down at the stains on his clothes and his expression turned even colder. ¡°So filty.¡± With that, he turned around and left the bathroom. After soaking in the cold water for more than half an hour, Sheng Jiu finally suppressed the heat in her body. She got up from the bathtub and went to lock the bathroom door. Then, she took off her wet clothes and revealed the innermost bra wrap. After untying it, she realized that the original owner¡¯s chest was not big. She was originally 36C, but now¡­ was there an A? If she continued to strangle her chest, she probably would not even have an A. No wonder outsiders could not tell if she was male or female with just a simple wrap. Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations There was everything in the bathroom. Sheng Jiu dried her wet clothes and put them back on. Looking at the beautiful young man in the mirror, she smiled. She had to admit that the Host¡¯s face was really beautiful, so beautiful that it could blur her gender. Since Josie was already dead, she would use this face to take revenge in the future. ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you done? Come out quickly!¡± Shen Xiuwen shouted from outside. ¡°It¡¯s done, it¡¯s done.¡± Sheng Jiu only dared to answer after making sure that she was dressed properly and that there were no flaws. Shen Xiuwen: ¡°If you¡¯re done, get the hell out here!¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s body trembled reflexively as she rushed over to open the door. The moment she opened the door, he saw Shen Xiuwen¡¯s naked upper body. His honey-colored chest muscles, well-proportioned eight-pack abs, and his sexy V-line. Further down was a white bath towel. Tsk, tsk. This man¡¯s figure was really amazing. He was tall, had long legs, and had beautiful muscles. It was hard to look away. ¡°Have you seen enough?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve seen enough. Your figure is better than mine,¡± Sheng Jiu answered truthfully. Shen Xiuwen was speechless. He looked at Sheng Jiu as if he was a fool. Oh wait, Sheng Jiu was a fool! ¡°Fourth Master, clothes.¡± He Sijun walked in and handed a bag to Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Fourth Master, is that the little fool from the Sheng family alright? Did you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in men, especially those who don¡¯t even have two pounds of flesh on them.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze fell on Sheng Jiu. This man was as light as a feather when carried. Did the Sheng family not feed him? He Sijun looked at Sheng Jiu, who was standing there in a daze. Sheng Jiu was still wearing the same clothes. ¡°Little Fool, you¡¯re quite smart. You know how to wear the clothes after they¡¯re dry. Brother Sijun bought you a handsome new set of clothes. Do you want it?¡± He handed another paper bag to Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Thank you, but it¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Little Fool, what are you looking at?¡± He Sijun followed Sheng Jiu¡¯s gaze and happened to see Shen Xiuwen¡¯s figure. He chuckled. ¡°Our Fourth Master has a good figure, right? A person like you who doesn¡¯t have any flesh can¡¯t be envious. Fourth Master is very obsessed with cleanliness. You hugged and rubbed against him just now and even dirtied his clothes. Fortunately, Fourth Master didn¡¯t do anything to you. You should be glad.¡± Sheng Jiu immediately understood. What Shen Xiuwen referred to as filthy was her, but her clothes. Everyone knew that Shen Xiuwen was a clean freak. It was normal for him to throw away the clothes she had touched, but it was a pity since he had wore such an expensive custom-made suit. ¡°Oh my, you¡¯re blushing. We¡¯re all men. Why are you so shy?¡± He Sijun couldn¡¯t help teasing Sheng Jiu when he saw her face turn red. The little fool was fun to tease. ¡°No, I¡¯m not shy. I¡¯m just a little hot. Perhaps the effects of the medicine are still lingering.¡± Sheng Jiu fanned herself with her hand. At this moment, Dr. Qi Rui arrived with a large medicine box in his hand. ¡°Sheng Jiu, let Qi Rui take a look at you.¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu coldly. ¡°Young Master Sheng, take off your clothes. I¡¯ll see if there are any other wounds.¡± Qi Rui asked Sheng Jiu to take off her clothes. After a moment of silence, Sheng Jiu clenched the buttons of her shirt. ¡°No need. I¡¯m not injured. The lust in my body went away.¡± ¡°No, little fool. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re short, but why are you so feminine? You grew up in a Buddhist temple for nothing. You don¡¯t have any masculinity at all.¡± He Sijun wanted to complain when he saw Sheng Jiu. Bah, she was just a woman. Why did she need masculinity? It was abnormal to have masculinity! ¡°Whatever. Just give him an injection.¡± Shen Xiuwen did not like Sheng Jiu¡¯s delicate appearance. How could a grown man be more delicate than a woman? Sheng Jiu had been soaked in cold water for a long time, and the effects of the drug had eased a lot. Qi Rui gave her a needle and took some medicine, and she was fine. After a while, Shen Xiuwen came out of the room after changing his clothes. He was dressed in a black shirt and black pants, which made him look even more handsome and cold. Just as Sheng Jiu sized up Shen Xiuwen, Shen Xiuwen looked up and glanced at her. Sheng Jiu lowered her head reflexively. Shen Xiuwen was not surprised by her reaction. ¡®Heh, he is still that timid little fool. Why didn¡¯t the Sheng family send someone to keep an eye on him? If they let him run around alone, he might be eaten one day.¡¯ ¡°Thank you for saving me, CEO Shen.¡± Sheng Jiu looked up and thanked Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you calling me Fourth Brother Shen anymore?¡± Shen Xiuwen teased Sheng Jiu when he saw that Sheng Jiu¡¯s face was red and her fair skin was inexplicably cute. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen.¡± Sheng Jiu changed his address obediently. Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations It was rare for Sheng Jiu to be so obedient, so Shen Xiuwen wanted to tease her again, but He Sijun stopped him. ¡°Fourth Master, we¡¯ve caught him.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°That kid from the Chu family, Chu Haotian, drugged the Little Fool and kidnapped him to the hotel. He wanted his sister, Chu Ling¡¯er, to marry into the Sheng family. After the Little Fool ran out, Chu Haotian also ran away with his sister, Chu Ling¡¯er. Fortunately, we caught them and threw them in the parking lot.¡± He Sijun explained the whole story. ¡°Is Chu Ling¡¯er blind? She actually likes this fool.¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu who was short and thin. Shen Jiu did not look like a man at all. Sheng Jiu was speechless. In the past, Sheng Jiu was indeed a little stupid, but he was not labeled as a fool. ¡°Fourth Master, what should we do?¡± He Sijun asked. ¡°Sheng Jiu, what do you want to do?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked Sheng Jiu, curious about what the Little Fool would do. ¡°Doctor Qi Rui, the drug that the Chu siblings drugged me with, what is the most someone could ingest without dying?¡± Sheng Jiu looked at Qi Rui. Qi Rui: ¡°Five times the amount you took.¡± ¡°Five times then. I remember that there¡¯s a clubhouse next to the hotel. Since it¡¯s going to be dark soon, let Chu Haotian take the drug and go dance. As for Chu Ling¡¯er, isn¡¯t there a haunted house in the suburbs? I heard that it¡¯s quite scary there. Let Chu Ling¡¯er go over. Let¡¯s see if she can escape.¡± The Chu siblings were the murderers who killed the original owner of the body. They had to be punished. Compared to death, living a life worse than death was more painful. This was what she experienced in the last few minutes of her previous life. Her parents were murdered by a man she loved deeply, and she was burned by a fire. She would never forget that kind of pain. In her mind, all those who did evil deserved retribution. ¡°Little Fool, how did you come up with such a ruthless idea with your stupid brain?¡± He Sijun was a little surprised. Didn¡¯t they say that Sheng Jiu¡¯s brain couldn¡¯t even compare to the brain of a child? She actually came up with such a ruthless and torturous idea. Who tutored her? Was it Sir? ¡°Let¡¯s do as Sheng Jiu says. Leave a few people near the haunted house to pretend to be ghosts. When Chu Ling¡¯er runs out, scare her back. When she can¡¯t run anymore, inform the Chu family to pick her up,¡± Shen Xiuwen said coldly. In terms of ruthlessness, Fourth Master Shen was still the most ruthless! ¡°Fourth Master, I¡¯ll do it now.¡± He Sijun left. ¡°Sheng Jiu, have you recovered?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s deep gaze fell on Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. He was curious about how Sheng Jiu could come up with such a ruthless idea. When Sheng Jiu spoke, his eyes were cold and decisive, unlike a mentally challenged Little Fool. Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu with interest for a while. A calm and logical Little Fool? This was not something a Little Fool with an IQ lower than a three-year-old child could do. Sheng Jiu was different from what everyone said. He was a little interesting. ¡°Mom said that when you meet someone who bullies you, you have to punish them, an eye for an eye. I have the Sheng family behind me, so I don¡¯t have to be afraid of anyone,¡± said Sheng Jiu expressionlessly. She was still the Little Fool now, so she could not be too smart. Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes were like searchlights, and no lie could hide from him. She should stay away from him in the future. Fortunately, she was a man now, so it could save her a lot of trouble. ¡°What a fool.¡± Shen Xiuwen sneered. She was already an adult, yet she still cared so much about her mother¡¯s words. She was really a good child who listened to her mother. Now that the matter was almost settled, Sheng Jiu¡¯s expression was much more normal. Shen Xiuwen was about to send Sheng Jiu back. He did not want to care about this Little Fool any longer, but he was the one who had saved her. Naturally, he had to send him back to the Sheng family safely. Otherwise, if he was kidnapped by another woman halfway, he would have saved her for nothing. Shen Xiuwen asked, ¡°Qi Rui, can Sheng Jiu leave now?¡± ¡°Young Master Sheng is fine. The drug in his body has basically dissapated.¡± Qi Rui took out a few pills from the medicine box and reminded Sheng Jiu to take them before she went to bed. After which, he would be completely fine tomorrow. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Shen Xiuwen stood up and decided to send Sheng Jiu back to the Sheng family¡¯s manor. As soon as Sheng Jiu got out of the car, Madam Sheng rushed over like a lunatic. The Sheng family had been anxious because they had not been able to contact Sheng Jiu the entire afternoon, causing the entire manor to be in chaos. Now that she saw that Sheng Jiu had returned unscathed, Madam Sheng was excited and glad. ¡°Little Jiu, my baby, you¡¯re finally back. Where did you go this afternoon? You scared Mom and Dad to death. Your brother sent people all over the city to look for you. He even sent people to the Buddhist temple¡­¡± Madam Sheng hugged Sheng Jiu and asked. Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine. Let go of me. I¡¯m going to be strangled to death.¡± Sheng Jiu patted Madam Sheng¡¯s arm. She was almost out of breath from the hug. Only then did Madam Sheng let go of Sheng Jiu. When she saw Shen Xiuwen push the door open and get out of the car, she said gratefully, ¡°Xiuwen, thank you for sending Little Jiu back. Did this child cause you trouble?¡± Sheng Jiu had been very afraid of strangers since she came back from the Buddhist temple. In order to let her familiarize herself with society as soon as possible, the Sheng family encouraged her to go out more often. It didn¡¯t matter even if she caused trouble. The Sheng family would help her clean up. Every time she went out, she would have bodyguards secretly follow her, but she lost her today, so Madam Sheng was terrified. Shen Xiuwen replied, ¡°Auntie Lan, Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t cause any trouble. He just got drunk at the bar. I happened to run into him, so I brought him to my place to sober up before sending him back. I¡¯m sorry for making you worry.¡± Madam Sheng waved her hand. ¡°No, no. Thank you, Xiuwen. Fortunately, you were the one Xiao Jiu met. Who knows what would have happened if he had met someone else?¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu. Something big was about to happen. If it had been any later, Madam Sheng would have had a daughter-in-law and perhaps a granddaughter or grandson. Madam Sheng said, ¡°Xiuwen, it¡¯s getting late. Stay here for dinner before leaving.¡± Sheng Jiu was shocked. ¡°Mom, Fourth Brother Shen¡­¡± Before Sheng Jiu could finish, Shen Xiuwen nodded and said, ¡°Okay, Auntie Lan.¡± Sheng Jiu: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Little Jiu, take your Fourth Brother Shen around. Previously, everyone was busy because of you and we didn¡¯t have time to prepare dinner. I¡¯ll inform your father, brothers, and sister to come back now. The Sheng family will be tortured by you, you Little Fool.¡± Madam Sheng¡¯s tone was reproachful, but it was more heartache. Moreover, when she sent the young Sheng Jiu to the Buddhist temple, she was not allowed to visit her for eighteen years. She was afraid that it would affect her good fortune. The Sheng family had not seen Sheng Jiu for eighteen years so they lacked eighteen years of interaction with her. Now that they had finally brought Sheng Jiu back, they naturally doted on her a thousand times. In the eyes of others, Sheng Jiu was a Little Fool, but in their eyes, Sheng Jiu was the treasure of their family. They would kill anyone who dared to bully her! ¡°Mom, Fourth Brother Shen is very familiar with our house. He can walk around by himself¡­¡± Sheng Jiu wanted to refuse, but the next second, Madam Sheng said, ¡°Then bring him to your room. Xiuwen has never been to your room.¡± Sheng Jiu was speechless. Dear mother, although she was a boy to the outside world, she was actually a girl. Why should she bring a man to her room? ¡°Fourth Brother Shen, let me show you the backyard.¡± Sheng Jiu took Shen Xiuwen to the backyard. As soon as they stepped in, a strong German Shepherd ran toward them excitedly. When Shen Xiuwen saw a black dog pounce on them, he subconsciously wanted to block Sheng Jiu behind him. ¡°Sheng Jiu!¡± Unexpectedly, not only did Sheng Jiu not dodge, but she also took a step forward and opened his arms to catch the dog that pounced on her. The man and dog rolled on the ground. Sheng Jiu stroked the German Shepherd¡¯s head and could not stop smiling. In her previous life, she had also raised a German Shepherd. After seven or eight years, it died of old age. She even cried for a long time. ¡°Who let the dog out? Do you want to die?!¡± The third daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Fengjiao, who had just entered the backyard, was scared out of her wits when she saw Sheng Jiu being pounced on by the dog. She rushed to Sheng Jiu and pulled her up. ¡°Little Jiu, are you alright?¡± ¡°Third Sister, I¡¯m fine.¡± Sheng Jiu patted the dust off her body. ¡°Who let the dog out! How many times have I told you not to let the dog out when Little Jiu is at home!¡± After confirming that Sheng Jiu was fine, Sheng Fengjiao shouted at the servant with a cold face! Sheng Jiu, who came out of the Buddhist temple, was completely out of place in this society. There were many things she was afraid of, and dogs were one of them. The first time she saw this German Shepherd, she was so frightened that he suffocated and fainted! Therefore, there was an additional unspoken rule in the Sheng family. As long as Sheng Jiu was at home, the German Shepherd would be locked in the kennel and was not allowed to be released. ¡°Speak!¡± Sheng Fengjiao was usually beautiful and carefree, but when she was angry, she was still very terrifying. The servants trembled and did not dare to speak. ¡°Third Sister, it¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t be angry. I think this dog is quite cute. It didn¡¯t bite me. It just came over and licked my hand.¡± Sheng Jiu gently pulled Sheng Fengjiao¡¯s hand, not wanting her to be angry because of a dog. ¡°Little Jiu, are you not afraid of dogs anymore?¡± Sheng Fengjiao looked at Sheng Jiu in confusion. Was this the same Sheng Jiu who had fainted from fear when she first saw a German Shepherd? How could she say that dogs were cute? It was unbelievable. Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I¡¯m still a little scared¡­ but I¡¯m not as scared as before. After all, he¡¯s a member of our family. I have to get familiar with him as soon as possible.¡± Only then did Sheng Jiu realize that the original owner was afraid of dogs, so she quickly found someone to make up for it. ¡°Sheng Jiu, if you¡¯re afraid of a dog, what else is there in the world that you¡¯re not afraid of?¡± Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu thoughtfully. She said that ahe was afraid of dogs, but he had clearly seen Sheng Jiu holding the dog with excitement and love just now. He could not tell that she was afraid at all. He said that she was a Little Fool, but she knew how to punish bad people ruthlessly. Which side of her was the real her? ¡°Because there were no dogs in the temple. When I came back and saw such a big dog, I was so scared. I couldn¡¯t react in time and panicked.¡± After Sheng Jiu finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze staring at him. She didn¡¯t need to think to know who it was. Did she say anything she shouldn¡¯t have? Back then, Sheng Jiu was very afraid of Shen Xiuwen. The reason ahe avoided him the moment she saw him was that this man was fierce and not kind at all. Therefore, in Sheng Jiu¡¯s heart, Shen Xiuwen and Big Dog were placed together because they were both fierce! ¡°Sheng Jiu, am I scary?¡± Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu coldly. Sheng Jiu subconsciously hid behind Third Sister Sheng Fengjiao. Sheng Fengjiao pulled her back considerately. ¡°Fourth Master Shen, my Little Jiu is timid. Don¡¯t scare him.¡± Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s dark eyes and was about to say something when Madam Sheng came out of the house. ¡°It¡¯s time to eat. Come back and eat! Who let the dog out? Did Little Jiu get scared?¡± Madam Sheng¡¯s expression darkened when she saw the German Shepherd and she grabbed Sheng Jiu¡¯s hand. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m trying to get along with the dogs. I realized that I¡¯m not so afraid of them anymore.¡± Sheng Jiu tried her best to fit the original character. She had not adapted to her new identity yet, so she had to remember the original character¡¯s preferences. Otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicion. However, she did not expect that she would be exposed so quickly! When they were eating, Sheng Jiu subconsciously picked up some meat to eat. There were sweet and sour pork chops, cumin beef, braised pork ribs, and spicy stir-fried shrimp. It was quite delicious. Everyone at the dining table was stunned and looked at Sheng Jiu as if they were looking at a monster. ¡°Little Jiu, why are you eating meat?¡± ¡°Little Jiu, are you still drunk?¡± ¡°Little Jiu, what happened to you?¡± ¡°Little Jiu, are you feeling unwell? Let the doctor come and take a look?¡± Only then did Sheng Jiu realize that the original host had been eating vegetarian food in the Buddhist temple for 18 years. She had been back for almost a year, but she had not adapted to eating meat! Although the Sheng family had indirectly coaxed her to eat meat, the original host still refused firmly. Now that she had transmigrated, she ate meat happily, mainly because she was too hungry and the meat was too delicious. However, everyone in the Sheng family was frightened and looked at her as if they had seen a ghost. ¡°Mom, Dad, I¡­ I was too hungry when I was outside today, so I took a bite of meat. I realized that meat is actually not that bad. Besides, I¡¯ve been out of the Buddhist temple for a year. I should try my best to adapt to my current life. I can¡¯t let you keep accommodating me. It¡¯s unfair to you.¡± Sheng Jiu tried his best to make up for her mistake. ¡°Little Jiu, you¡¯re right. Your body lacks nutrition. If you don¡¯t eat meat, you won¡¯t be able to replenish your nutrition. Look at you. You¡¯re the shortest in our family. You have to eat more to make up for it. You should at least be as tall as your sister.¡± Madam Sheng strongly supported Sheng Jiu eating meat. The Sheng family were all very tall. Father Sheng was 1.88 meters tall, and Madam Sheng was a model when she was young. She was 1.78 meters tall, so their children were also very tall. The young masters of the Sheng family were all 1.85 meters tall, and the young ladies were also 1.75 meters tall. Only Sheng Jiu was barely 1.70 meters tall and had just passed the Sheng family¡¯s standards. Of course, Sheng Jiu was still considered tall among girls, but now that she was disguised as a man, her height was not tall enough for men. It was just like how she looked especially cute when she stood beside Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯m full. I¡¯ll go upstairs first.¡± Sheng Jiu hurriedly took two bites and went upstairs. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She should hide first. Moreover, Shen Xiuwen kept staring at her with an unreadable gaze, which made her panic. Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes were too transparent, giving off an undisguised feeling. Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Sheng Jiu returned to her room, she took a shower and sized up the room. The room was decorated in black and white, simple and refreshing. It seemed that the Sheng family doted on and respected Sheng Jiu. She had been in the Buddhist temple for eighteen years and had been a boy for eighteen years. Naturally, she would not like pink and tender things. Coincidentally, she did not like them as well. Sheng Jiu took out her phone and searched for the Qiao family and Qiao Xi¡¯s name. Soon, the relevant news came out. The Qiao family was in the auto parts industry. Perhaps they were not that famous in Beijing, but they were quite famous in the auto distribution industry. Her father had started from scratch and was kind. He was a big brother in the auto distribution industry. If not for her, the unfilial daughter, the Qiao family would not have been destroyed by Cheng Xinkai. Something had happened to the Qiao family. The villa was on fire, and the family of three had died. This was a huge matter in today¡¯s society. All kinds of headlines came into view. [There was a fire in the Qiao family¡¯s villa last night. The Qiao family of three died in the fire! The cause of the fire is still under investigation¡­] [The Qiao family¡¯s auto distribution company has gone bankrupt and has been seized by the bank. The Qiao family can¡¯t accept this reality and set themselves on fire.] When Sheng Jiu saw this news, his heart turned cold. What self-immolation! It was clearly Cheng Xinkai who started the fire. He was the murderer! And the company went bankrupt? How could the company lose money and go bankrupt! Her father had always been law-abiding, paying taxes on time, and his accounts were very clean. Her mother was the company¡¯s financial manager. The company¡¯s accounts were handled by her mother and had never gone wrong! Cheng Xinkai must be behind this! This man wanted to use this method to take over their company. He was heartless! Cheng Xinkai, I won¡¯t let you have an easy time! ¡°Little Jiu, are you asleep? I heated up a glass of milk for you.¡± Madam Sheng knocked on the door. Sheng Jiu put down her phone and hummed. Madam Sheng pushed the door open and came in. She placed the milk on the bedside table. ¡°Little Jiu, drink the milk while it¡¯s hot.¡± Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Madam Sheng said, ¡°Sleep early. Don¡¯t be playful. Go shopping with me tomorrow. We¡¯re going to the Shen family for dinner tomorrow.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s scalp went numb. ¡°Why do we have to go to the Shen family?¡± At the mention of the Shen family, she thought of Shen Xiuwen¡¯s perfect figure and ruthless gaze. She didn¡¯t really want to go. She felt that Shen Xiuwen seemed to be able to see through her soul on the surface. Nothing could escape his eyes. It was very scary. ¡°Miaomiao won the city-level piano championship. The Shen family is going to hold a small celebration party, and everyone going there are their acquaintances. The Shen family also invited us. You¡¯ve been back from the Buddhist temple for almost a year, and you basically didn¡¯t attend any banquets. Coincidentally, there weren¡¯t many people at this banquet, so your Uncle Shen asked you to go and take a look,¡± Madam Sheng explained. Sheng Jiu had no choice but to agree. At seven o¡¯clock in the evening, the Sheng family¡¯s car drove into the Shen family¡¯s manor. At this time, the manor was already very lively. It was originally agreed that the whike Sheng family would come, but Eldest Brother had something on this morning and had to fly to the neighboring city to deal with a project. Third Sister, Sheng Fengjiao, could not leave because of the important meetings. In the end, only Sheng Jiu was captured to attend the banquet. Initially, Sheng Jiu did not want to come to the Shen family because she would see Shen Xiuwen. When she thought of Shen Xiuwen¡¯s cold and ruthless eyes, she really did not want to interact with him! ¡°Little Jiu, we¡¯re here. Get out of the car.¡± Madam Sheng held her husband in one hand and Sheng Jiu in the other. The family of three was so good-looking that they received countless eyes as soon as they got out of the car, especially Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu had been back in the Sheng family for so long and rarely showed her face in public. Everyone knew that the Sheng family had a silly young master who had been raised in a Buddhist temple for 18 years, but most people had never seen her before. This time, they finally saw her in person. Sheng Jiu was wearing a white suit with a black bow tie. Coupled with her handsome face, she looked like a little prince who had descended from the sky. This time, the Shen family had invited seven to eight aristocratic families. There were about 60 to 70 elders and juniors. Now, everyone¡¯s gaze was on Sheng Jiu, especially some socialites. Their eyes were about to pop out. ¡°Is this the silly young master of the Sheng family?¡± ¡°What a waste of your face. Indeed, beauty is exchanged for intelligence.¡± ¡°No wonder Chu Ling¡¯er likes him. His face is indeed not bad.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. Something seems to have happened to Chu Ling¡¯er. She went missing for the entire night yesterday. Today, the Chu family received the news and went to the haunted house to pick her up. I heard that she was scared out of her wits.¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Sheng Jiu also heard their discussion. These people¡¯s voices were not soft, and with her good hearing, she could naturally hear them clearly. So, Chu Ling¡¯er had gone crazy? It seemed that Shen Xiuwen had found someone to pretend to be a ghost. The person who had killed the original owner of the body was already considered lucky for her to have just gone crazy. Just as Sheng Jiu was thinking, a soft figure rushed over and hugged her. ¡°Sheng Jiu, I¡¯m so happy that you can come to my celebration party!¡± ¡°Miss Shen, let go of me first.¡± Sheng Jiu pushed her away subconsciously. He was afraid that Shen Miaomiao would bump into her chest. If that happened, she would be finished. ¡°What Miss Shen? Just call me Miaomiao, or Sister Miaomiao. I¡¯m a year older than you.¡± Shen Miaomiao let go of Sheng Jiu and puffed up her cheeks, pretending to be angry. ¡°Congratulations on winning the piano competition. This is a gift for you.¡± Sheng Jiu quickly handed the gift box in her hand to Shen Miaomiao. ¡°Thank you for your gift, Sheng Jiu. You¡¯re even more handsome than the last time I saw you! Your hair has grown longer, and you seem to have grown a little taller too. Compared to the gift you gave me, I want you to be my boyfriend more. Do you want to¡­¡± Shen Miaomiao hugged Sheng Jiu¡¯s arm and said with a smile. Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Shen Xiuwen walked over from the side and said coldly, ¡°Shen Miaomiao, it¡¯s your turn to start the show.¡± ¡°Fourth Brother, I just want to talk to Sheng Jiu.¡± Shen Miaomiao pouted, obviously unwilling to leave her side. ¡°Are you going to stand everyone up at your celebration party?¡± ¡°I know, I know. Sheng Jiu, I¡¯m going to the opening performance. Do you want to come with me? You don¡¯t have to do anything. Just stay by my side.¡± Shen Miaomiao smiled sweetly at Sheng Jiu and seriously invited her to perform with her. Sheng Jiu was handsome and beautiful. The scene of the two of them sitting together must be very beautiful! Sheng Jiu naturally noticed that Shen Miaomiao was looking forward to it. She was the main character today. Would she be sad if she rejected her directly? Just as she was hesitating, Shen Xiuwen¡¯s cold voice rang out. ¡°Sheng Jiu, don¡¯t you know how to reject something you don¡¯t want? Are you that stupid?¡± Shen Xiuwen really could not stand Sheng Jiu¡¯s hesitation. Her face was clearly filled with unwillingness, but she could not say no. She did not look like a man at all. If she did not want to do it, she should not do it. ¡°Fourth Brother, don¡¯t say that about Sheng Jiu. He¡¯s not stupid!¡± Of course, Shen Miaomiao was speaking up for Sheng Jiu. ¡°Miaomiao, I won¡¯t go with you.¡± Sheng Jiu chose to refuse. She really did not want to perform with Shen Miaomiao and be noticed by so many people. Fortunately, Shen Miaomiao did not insist. ¡°Alright, Sheng Jiu, wait for me obediently. I¡¯ll come to you after playing two songs.¡± Then, she looked at Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯m going to the opening performance. Help me keep an eye on Sheng Jiu. Don¡¯t let any other vixens take him away!¡± After Shen Miaomiao left, Shen Xiuwen looked around and found that many girls were secretly sizing up Sheng Jiu. Some even winked at her. Shen Xiuwen laughed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so popular.¡± Were fools so popular in girls¡¯ hearts these days? Did they think that fools were brainless and easy to fool into bed? But looking at Sheng Jiu¡¯s lack of masculinity, could such a man really do it in bed? ¡°Sheng Jiu, what kind of woman do you like?¡± Shen Xiuwen suddenly asked. ¡°I want juice.¡± Sheng Jiu chose not to answer such a meaningless question. She didn¡¯t like any woman. She only liked tall, long-legged, and handsome men! ¡°He Sijun, take Little Fool to drink juice and keep an eye on him.¡± Shen Xiuwen called He Sijun over to accompany Sheng Jiu before walking to the side to make a call. ¡°Little Fool, your face is too popular. What kind of aesthetic standards do girls have these days? Do they like girly little fools?¡± He Sijun teased as he led Sheng Jiu away. Sheng Jiu ignored him and walked towards the drinks area. He Sijun said, ¡°Hey, Little Fool, don¡¯t walk so fast.¡± Sheng Jiu looked at He Sijun in disdain. ¡°It¡¯s your own fault for walking too slowly.¡± ¡°Little fool, how dare you despise my 1.8-meter-long legs!¡± After He Sijun drank two glasses of fruit juice with Sheng Jiu, he wanted him to drink with her. However, Sheng Jiu rejected him without hesitation. At that moment, a beautiful woman came to drink with him. Taking this opportunity, He Sijun abandoned Sheng Jiu and went to drink with her. Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Sheng Jiu saw a few girls staring at her covetously as if they would pounce on her at any time. She quickly went to the bathroom and went out through the back door beside the bathroom. She was prepared to take a breather in the garden. She chose a hidden corner and squatted down. Then, she took out her phone to search for Cheng Xinkai and the Cheng family¡¯s current situation. After the Cheng Corporation was officially listed, they used the fastest method to acquire the Qiao family¡¯s company. Now, the Qiao family¡¯s automobile company was renamed the Cheng family¡¯s automobile company. It now belonged to the Cheng Corporation and became a subsidiary of the Cheng Corporation. This was simply daylight robbery! Cheng Xinkai, that b*tch! ¡°Xiuwen, I have a few words to say to you.¡± ¡°Please speak, Miss Bai.¡± When Sheng Jiu heard Shen Xiuwen talking to a woman not far away, she subconsciously pricked up her ears to hear if there was any gossip. A man and a woman hiding in this dark corner, avoiding everyone. What else could it be? She did not expect a sinister and terrifying man like Shen Xiuwen to be liked by a woman. ¡°Xiuwen, I like you.¡± Bai Zhi¡¯s voice was very loud, as if she had used all her courage just to say this confession to Shen Xiuwen. However, Shen Xiuwen, who was in front of her, did not care at all. He just played with the cigarette in his hand casually, obviously not taking the confession to heart at all. ¡°Xiuwen, I really like you very much. All these years, I¡¯ve liked no one but you.¡± ¡°Xiuwen, I rejected several invitations from overseas, and I came back specially for you.¡± ¡°Xiuwen, we¡¯ve known each other for more than ten years. Don¡¯t you have any feelings for me? Have you never liked me?¡± Bai Zhi said one sentence after another. In the end, Shen Xiuwen only said coldly, ¡°Miss Bai, you don¡¯t have to tell me this kind of thing. It has nothing to do with me.¡± His voice was very cold, without the slightest bit of emotion. This kind of voice would kill any woman who heard it. Sheng Jiu felt that Shen Xiuwen was not an ordinary heartless man. He was actually unmoved by a woman¡¯s confession. Such a man should be left alone for life! ¡°Xiuwen, how am I not good enough? I can change.¡± Bai Zhi¡¯s voice was sobbing as she lowered her status very humbly. ¡°As long as you say it, I will definitely change. Xiuwen, for you, I am willing¡­¡± ¡°Crack¡­¡± Sheng Jiu couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She wanted to get up and leave quietly, but she didn¡¯t expect to step on a tree branch and accidentally alert the two people not far away. What¡¯s worse was that Shen Xiuwen also saw her. ¡°Little Fool, come here.¡± Shen Xiuwen waved at Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu hesitated for a moment but still walked over. However, she did not expect to be pulled into Shen Xiuwen¡¯s arms the moment she got near him. He pulled her into his arms domineeringly and forcefully. No matter how Sheng Jiu struggled, it was useless. ¡°Miss Bai, didn¡¯t you want to know why I don¡¯t like you?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s tone was casual and filled with arrogance. ¡°Why?¡± Bai Zhi had a bad feeling. ¡°Because the gender doesn¡¯t match.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s lips curled up, and his eyes were cold. Then, he left with Sheng Jiu in his arms. Bai Zhi stood rooted to the ground in a daze. There was no reaction on her face! The gender didn¡¯t match! The gender didn¡¯t match! So Shen Xiuwen didn¡¯t like her because he liked men?! Could it be that the rumors were true? ¡°Xiuwen, you really¡­¡± Bai Zhi took a step forward. ¡°Miss Bai, I don¡¯t want a fourth person to know about what happened tonight. You know very well what to say and what not to say.¡± Shen Xiuwen narrowed his eyes, warning her. Bai Zhi paused and ran away in anger! In fact, Bai Zhi was not the only one who was shocked. Even Sheng Jiu, the toolman, was shocked! There were rumors outside that Shen Xiuwen did not have a woman by his side because his sexual orientation was abnormal. So the rumors were true? Moreover, Shen Xiuwen personally admitted that his sexual orientation was abnormal! ¡°Are you scared?¡± Shen Xiuwen lowered his head. Only then did Sheng Jiu slowly come to her senses. She looked at Shen Xiuwen in disbelief. Shen Xiuwen was very impressive and awesome to be able to openly reveal his sexual orientation! As expected of Shen Xiuwen, there was nothing he didn¡¯t dare to do! ¡°Little Fool, you¡¯re too easily frightened. You¡¯re stunned by just a casual sentence?¡± Shen Xiuwen chuckled when he saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s silly look. The entire Sheng family was very smart, but for some reason, they had a little fool like Sheng Jiu. No wonder any woman could bully her. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen, do you really like men?¡± Sheng Jiu asked. Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if I like men, I won¡¯t like a little fool like you,¡± Shen Xiuwen said casually. What did he mean by liking a man but not a little fool like her? Also, it was the same at the hotel last time. He said that she did not have any flesh on her body. Shen Xiuwen¡¯s mouth was too unpleasant! He attacked her personally every time! If not for her current status, Sheng Jiu really wanted to retort! Sheng Jiu comforted herself in his heart. She was not angry. This was the Shen family¡¯s territory. If she tolerated it for a while, everything would be fine. If she took a step back, the world would be open. She was a magnanimous person and would not stoop to Shen Xiuwen¡¯s level. She continued to hold back her anger until she returned to the hall. At that moment, Shen Miaomiao had just finished her performance. And when she saw Sheng Jiu, she ran over. ¡°Sheng Jiu, where have you been? I¡¯ve been looking for you for a long time.¡± ¡°I went to the backyard to take a breather,¡± Sheng Jiu answered. She had also heard two pieces of gossip. One was Bai Zhi confessing to Shen Xiuwen, and the other was that Shen Xiuwen liked men! Bai Zhi happened to be looking over at this moment. Her venomous eyes stared at Sheng Jiu as if she wanted to skin her alive. Sheng Jiu suddenly thought of something. Bai Zhi wouldn¡¯t misunderstand that Shen Xiuwen rejected her confession because he liked her, and then treat her as a love rival, right? If she wanted to hate someone, she should hate Shen Xiuwen! It was Shen Xiuwen who rejected Bai Zhi, not her! Sheng Jiu gritted her teeth in anger. Shen Xiuwen, this damned man. If he didn¡¯t want to be with Bai Zhi, he could have just rejected Bai Zhi¡¯s confession. One word was enough, but he had to drag her down with him! She was already in a bad situation. With another enemy, she was really unlucky! Shen Miaomiao asked faintly, ¡°Sheng Jiu, is Bai Zhi pretty?¡± ¡°Not as pretty as you!¡± Sheng Jiu felt two cold gazes on him. One was Shen Miaomiao¡¯s, and the other¡­ She subconsciously looked to the side and met Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze. She did not know what his gaze meant. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Shen Miaomiao immediately smiled. ¡°Did you meet Bai Zhi in the backyard just now? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with this woman. After she came back from the backyard, she said she wasn¡¯t feeling well and wanted to leave.¡± Shen Miaomiao didn¡¯t have a good impression of Bai Zhi. The Bai family and the Shen family were quite close. And Bai Zhi would constantly use the relationship between the two families to harass her fourth brother, Shen Xiuwen. ¡°No,¡± Sheng Jiu said expressionlessly. In fact, not only had she met her, but she had also interrupted her confession to Shen Xiuwen. Bai Zhi probably hated her to death. Around nine o¡¯clock in the evening, the other families left one after another. Only the Sheng family, who had the closest relationship with the Shen family, remained. The Sheng couple and the elders of the Shen family were talking in the study. Even if Sheng Jiu wanted to go back, she did not dare to rush them. Meanwhile, Sheng Jiu was sitting on the sofa with Shen Miaomiao by her side fawning over her. ¡°Jiu Sheng, these grapes are so sweet. Try them¡­ They were just flown in today.¡± ¡°And this cantaloupe is very sweet and crispy¡­¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, come here.¡± Shen Xiuwen was sitting near them. He watched as Shen Miaomiao squeezed Sheng Jiu from the middle of the sofa to the corner bit by bit, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful. Seeing Shen Jiu like this, he couldn¡¯t help but speak up. He didn¡¯t want to care at first. Initially, he wanted to see if Sheng Jiu would refuse or ask for help. Unfortunately, Sheng Jiu was a fool. She was the kind of fool who didn¡¯t know how to refuse. ¡°Sheng Jiu, come here,¡± Shen Xiuwen repeated. He patted the seat beside him and gestured for Sheng Jiu to sit down. Sheng Jiu was sitting on a three-person sofa, while Shen Xiuwen was sitting on an armchair. The armchair was very comfortable to sit alone, but it would be very cramped if there were two people. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen, I won¡¯t go over. Your seat isn¡¯t big. I¡¯m afraid I will squeeze you.¡± Sheng Jiu shook her head and refused. Shen Xiuwen sneered. She was quite fluent in rejecting him. Shen Miaomiao was about to sit on him, but she did not say a word of rejection. Did she like Shen Miaomiao? ¡°You think you can squeeze me with your skinny frame? Come here, don¡¯t make me repeat myself a third time,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. Under Shen Xiuwen¡¯s pressure and her current image, Sheng Jiu could only obediently walk up to him. ¡°Fourth Brother, why are you fighting with me for Sheng Jiu?¡± Shen Miaomiao pouted and looked at Shen Xiuwen unhappily. Sheng Jiu was clearly hers, so why was Fourth Brother fighting with her? ¡°Men and women shouldn¡¯t touch each other. Sheng Jiu is a little fool and doesn¡¯t understand. As the young lady of the Shen family, don¡¯t you have the most basic etiquette?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s poisonous tongue was not only directed at outsiders, but also at the people around him. The Shen family knew his temperament well and generally would not take the initiative to provoke him. Only Shen Miaomiao was not afraid of death. She relied on the family¡¯s favor to go against Shen Xiuwen from time to time. Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Fourth Brother, of course I under etiquette, but I like Sheng Jiu. The closer I get to him, the better. I¡¯m wooing him! You can¡¯t woo a man if you keep your distance!¡± Shen Miaomiao raised her chin proudly. Although in the eyes of others, Sheng Jiu was a little fool, in her eyes, she was the purest little prince. In the eyes of others, she was a thousand bad things, but in her eyes, she was very good. To her, she was irreplaceable! ¡°Sure, you like him, but does he like you? One-sided pursuits just cause trouble,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. ¡°Sheng Jiu, I like you. Do you like me?¡± Shen Miaomiao was not shy. She confessed to Sheng Jiu boldly. Sheng Jiu was shocked by Shen Miaomiao¡¯s passionate and bold confession. She was a woman! She only liked men. She would never agree to Shen Miaomiao¡¯s confession, okay?! ¡°Sit down, Sheng Jiu.¡± Shen Xiuwen looked at Shen Miaomiao coldly. His sister was really bold to say anything. Look at how frightened Sheng Jiu was. Her already pale face became even paler. Sheng Jiu stood in front of Shen Xiuwen. Just as she was hesitating about whether to sit down, her parents came downstairs. She heaved a sigh of relief and hurried over. ¡°Dad, Mom, are we going back?¡± Rumble! Before Madam Sheng could speak, thunder suddenly roared outside. Right on the heels of that roar, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. It was very terrifying. Before long, a storm fell. ¡°Brother Sheng, look, the weather isn¡¯t too good, and it¡¯s a little far from here to the city. It¡¯s dangerous to drive in the storm. You guys can stay here for the night,¡± President Shen, who came out of the study one step later, said. ¡°Little Jiu, what do you think?¡± Madam Sheng looked at Sheng Jiu and asked. Sheng Jiu had never stayed in anyone else¡¯s house since she came out of the Buddhist temple. This was the Shen family, and she was afraid that she would not be used to it. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s not safe to drive on such a stormy night,¡± Sheng Jiu said. She felt that the Shen family¡¯s manor was so big that there should be many guest rooms. As long as she lived alone, it didn¡¯t matter where she lived. ¡°That¡¯s it then. There aren¡¯t many rooms in the villa. Little Jiu, do you want to sleep with¡­¡± Before President Shen could finish speaking, Madam Sheng added, ¡°Little Jiu can sleep with us.¡± Although Sheng Jiu wasn¡¯t young anymore, Madam Sheng didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with her sleeping with them. If possible, she hoped to sleep with Little Jiu every day to make up for their separation of so many years. However, Little Jiu was used to being independent and hadn¡¯t slept with Madam Sheng since she came back. Thus, Madam Sheng was very happy to have the chance to sleep with him today. ¡°Little Jiu is already so old. It¡¯s not convenient for hun to stay with the two of you.¡± Madam Shen felt that the child was too old to stay with her parents. Their Shen family also had a son. She could just let Little Jiu sleep with her son for a night. ¡°Sheng Jiu, do you want to sleep in my room? My room is very big, and my bed is also very big. I don¡¯t mind.¡± Shen Miaomiao looked at Sheng Jiu excitedly. She could not wait to pull her into her room immediately. ¡°You don¡¯t mind, but the Little Fool does,¡± Shen Xiuwen said with a sullen face. No matter what, Shen Miaomiao was the young lady of the Shen family. How could she be so unreserved? She looked like she wanted to swallow Sheng Jiu whole. What was so good about Sheng Jiu? Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s little face again and again. ¡°Sheng Jiu, do you mind?¡± Shen Miaomiao asked immediately. She was under the impression that Sheng Jiu liked her. She never thought that Sheng Jiu would not like her. ¡°I¡¯m a boy. It¡¯s not good for your reputation to stay with you for a night.¡± Sheng Jiu deliberately avoided Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze and said in his heart, I¡¯m a man. I¡¯m a man now. A pure man. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? At most, we can get engaged. After all, we¡¯re both unmarried.¡± Shen Miaomiao wished she could marry Sheng Jiu and enter the bridal chamber right now. She liked Sheng Jiu¡¯s face too much. When she first saw her, she liked her very much! Sheng Jiu¡¯s face matched her aesthetic taste very well. Not only was she handsome, but she was also innocent, silly, and adorable! ¡°I¡­¡± Sheng Jiu opened her mouth. ¡°Sheng Jiu, come to my room,¡± Shen Xiuwen interrupted Sheng Jiu coldly, his tone domineering. ¡°Little Jiu, then you can stay in Fourth Brother Shen¡¯s room. His room is big, so you don¡¯t need to be afraid of being squeezed.¡± Madam Shen followed Shen Xiuwen¡¯s words. Of course, she was still very surprised by this. Shen Xiuwen was very obsessed with cleanliness, so it was unbelievable that he would take the initiative to let Sheng Jiu sleep in his room. Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Little Jiu, you should stay in the same room as us.¡± When Madam Sheng heard that Sheng Jiu was going to stay with Shen Xiuwen, she was so frightened that she almost said that Sheng Jiu was a girl. Men and women should not touch each other. How could her daughter sleep with a man?! However, when she thought of what Sheng Jiu had said about not revealing her identity, Madam Sheng endured it and did not reveal her identity as a girl. Yes, Little Jiu was a good child. She knew her character. Even if she slept for the night, it would be fine. It would definitely be fine. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I can do it.¡± Sheng Jiu gave Madam Sheng a firm look. She knew what Madam Sheng was worried about. Madam Sheng said, ¡°Then share a room with Fourth Brother Shen. Don¡¯t disturb him.¡± Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Okay.¡± Sheng Jiu followed behind Shen Xiuwen and entered his room. The room was decorated in a cold and harsh style that matched Shen Xiuwen¡¯s temperament. ¡°The bed in my room is very big, so you won¡¯t be squeezed,¡± Shen Xiuwen said faintly. Sheng Jiu glanced at the bed. Yes, it was very big. It was fine for two people to sleep in the middle, but she refused to sleep on the same bed as Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen, I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa,¡± said Sheng Jiu. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to sleep on my bed, then do you want to sleep on Miaomiao¡¯s bed?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked coldly. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°I don¡¯t¡­¡± Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Don¡¯t even think about Shen Miaomiao. If she¡¯s crazy, are you going crazy too? You¡¯re a fool, not a lunatic.¡± When Sheng Jiu heard this, she was really hurt. So, in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes, she was a complete fool? ¡°Sheng Jiu, do you like Miaomiao?¡± Shen Xiuwen usually did not care much about such things, but he was quite curious about Sheng Jiu¡¯s thoughts. Outsiders said that Sheng Jiu¡¯s IQ was like that of a kindergarten child. With such an IQ, how did he know to like girls? Sheng Jiu was silent as she stared at Shen Xiuwen with her bright black eyes. How was she going to answer this question? It was wrong whether she liked her or not. This was a fatal question! Hence, she chose to play dumb and not answer! ¡°Sheng Jiu, you¡¯re not qualified to be my brother-in-law.¡± Shen Xiuwen saw that Sheng Jiu was pretending to be stupid, and his teasing mood instantly disappeared. ¡°I don¡¯t¡­¡± Sheng Jiu wanted to explain. She didn¡¯t want to be Shen Xiuwen¡¯s brother-in-law! Besides, even if she wanted to be, her body wouldn¡¯t allow it! ¡°Go take a shower.¡± Shen Xiuwen threw a set of pajamas at Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu refused. ¡°No need, Fourth Brother Shen. I¡¯m not used to wearing other people¡¯s clothes.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like other people wearing my clothes either. These pajamas are new. Go in and take a shower.¡± Shen Xiuwen ordered Sheng Jiu to take a shower with a deep voice. Could it be that Sheng Jiu was also a clean freak? The pajamas were Shen Xiuwen¡¯s size. When Sheng Jiu put them on, she looked like a child wearing adult clothes. She was only 1.7 meters tall, while Shen Xiuwen was almost 1.9 meters tall. This pajamas was more than two sizes too big for her! Sheng Jiu was in a dilemma in the bathroom for a long time. In the end, she came out in the pajamas. Anyway, she had already wrapped her chest inside, so the loose pajamas could cover a lot. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you¡¯re too skinny. Does the Sheng family feed you?¡± Shen Xiuwen frowned as he stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s shriveled body. Did this kid not often eat? He thought of how light she had been when she hugged him at the hotel. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°They do.¡± ¡°Eat more meat in the future. Otherwise, any woman can pounce on you.¡± When Shen Xiuwen thought of how Chu Ling¡¯er pounced on Sheng Jiu and almost ate him, he felt that Sheng Jiu was really useless. He stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s fair face for a while. Perhaps it was because she had just taken a shower, but her face was pale and red. She was very beautiful. No wonder Shen Miaomiao, who was obsessed with looks, could not move when she saw Sheng Jiu. If he did not know that Sheng Jiu was a man, he would have suspected that Sheng Jiu was a woman. ¡°Hurry up and go to bed after you¡¯re done showering.¡± Shen Xiuwen looked at Sheng Jiu, who was standing there motionlessly, and felt a little disgusted. Sheng Jiu actually needed someone to tell her to take a shower and go to bed? ¡°Fourth Brother Shen, I¡¯m not used to sleeping on the same bed. I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa.¡± Sheng Jiu sat down on the sofa, looking like she was not prepared to go to bed at all. ¡°You sleep on the bed. I¡¯ll sleep in Second Brother¡¯s room.¡± Shen Xiuwen looked at Sheng Jiu with his deep eyes and then left. He was also not used to sleeping on the same bed with others. He only allowed Sheng Jiu to sleep with him because he did not want Shen Miaomiao to drag her into her room. A man and a woman alone in a room. Shen Miaomiao looked like she could not wait to swallow Sheng Jiu. The Shen family¡¯s reputation could not be ruined like this. Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations When the door closed, Sheng Jiu let out a sight of relief. Fortunately, Shen Xiuwen left. Otherwise, she would not have dared to sleep tonight. The sofa was too hard. Sheng Jiu hesitated for a moment before climbing onto the big bed. The next morning, Shen Xiuwen returned to his room to change his clothes. As soon as he entered, he saw Sheng Jiu hugging the blanket with one leg draped over it. Because her pajamas were too loose, they were rolled up to her knees, revealing a fair and slender calf. There was not a single hair on it. It was even cleaner and prettier than a woman¡¯s leg. This was ridiculous! Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes darkened. He pulled the blanket over Sheng Jiu and covered him tightly. Sheng Jiu woke up in a daze and saw a man with his back facing her. Moreover, he was half-naked while putting on his pants. ¡°Ah! Hooligan!¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s hand trembled when he heard Sheng Jiu¡¯s scream. Then, he calmly and slowly zipped up the zipper. He turned to look at Sheng Jiu expressionlessly. ¡°Sheng Jiu, what are you shouting for?¡± The morning sun shone through the window and shone on his naked body, revealing every muscle line. Sheng Jiu¡¯s face reddened in embarrassment at seeing such an exciting scene so early in the morning. She quickly pulled up the blanket to cover her flushed face. Although Shen Xiuwen was only half-naked, she had seen everything. ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you trying to suffocate yourself in my bed?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s words sounded normal, but when they entered Sheng Jiu¡¯s ears, there was a lot of ambiguity. What did he mean by suffocate in his bed? She had never thought about it, okay?! And why did she have to hide?! Shen Xiuwen had such a good figure, and he had taken the initiative to show it. If he was not shy, what was she shy about?! At the thought of this, Sheng Jiu swooshed out of the blanket and realized that Shen Xiuwen was already buttoning his shirt. This man was quite fast. ¡°You¡¯re really fast.¡± Sheng Jiu accidentally said what was on her mind, but she didn¡¯t realize it. ¡°My abdominal muscles, do they look good?¡± Shen Xiuwen did not expect the shy Sheng Jiu to say such a thing. At such a moment, he could not help but tease her. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Well, I¡¯m not going to show you how good it looks.¡± Shen Xiuwen smiled ambiguously. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Get up and pack up.¡± With that, he opened the door and left. Sheng Jiu was speechless. She quickly got out of bed and packed up. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. ¡°Good morning, Fourth Brother¡­ Sheng Jiu?! Why did you come out of Fourth Brother¡¯s room?¡± As soon as Sheng Jiu opened the door, she saw a gorgeous woman walking over. The woman¡¯s smiling face immediately turned cold when she saw Sheng Jiu coming out of Shen Xiuwen¡¯s room. ¡°Miss He, it¡¯s not good to show up at the door of a man¡¯s room so early in the morning.¡± Sheng Jiu sneered at the woman in front of him. The woman¡¯s name was He Yao, He Sijun¡¯s younger sister. She had always been crazy about Shen Xiuwen and had even used He Sijun¡¯s relationship to visit the Shen family or the Shen Group. He Yao disliked Sheng Jiu because she was too beautiful. She was even more beautiful than a woman. It was impossible to tell if she was a male or female. She had the kind of looks that killed both men and women. But fortunately for her, she was a fool. Every time He Yao faced Sheng Jiu, her attitude was very bad. She would always say some nasty things in front of him. In the past, Sheng Jiu was really stupid. She did not understand whether something was a good thing and bad thing, nor did she know how to refute insult thrown at her. However, the current Sheng Jiu was not stupid. ¡°Sheng Jiu, what do you mean? You haven¡¯t answered me. Why did you come out of Fourth Brother¡¯s room?¡± He Yao shouted at Sheng Jiu like a rooster whose territory had been stolen. This fool actually came out of Fourth Brother¡¯s room. Even she had never entered Fourth Brother¡¯s room before! ¡°I slept here last night.¡± Sheng Jiu blinked innocently and cutely at He Yao. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you¡­ you shameless man! How dare you seduce Fourth Brother!¡± He Yao¡¯s brain exploded! Shen Xiuwen had never been involved in any scandals and had never had any women around him. The outside world said that he liked men, but He Yao did not believe it. However, now that Sheng Jiu said that he had slept in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s room for the night, she was a little afraid. After all, Shen Xiuwen¡¯s mysophobia was very serious. Even servants were forbidden from entering his room. How could Sheng Jiu sleep in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s room? Sheng Jiu must have seduced Shen Xiuwen! The more He Yao thought about it, the angrier she got. She raised her hand to hit Sheng Jiu, but Sheng Jiu grabbed her hand hard. He Yao felt that her wrist was about to break. ¡°It hurts¡­ It hurts. Sheng Jiu, let go of me!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Sheng Jiu sneered and flung He Yao¡¯s hand away. He Yao stumbled backward and almost lost her balance. ¡°Other men don¡¯t hit women, but I have no scruples. I hit women!¡± Jiu Sheng glared at He Yao and warned her. ¡°How dare you hit me?¡± He Yao did not believe Sheng Jiu¡¯s words. She was just a little fool. As she spoke, she raised her hand to hit Sheng Jiu again. If she did not slap Sheng Jiu today, it would be difficult to vent the hatred in her heart! Slap! Sheng Jiu moved quickly. Just as He Yao raised her hand, Sheng Jiu¡¯s palm had already landed heavily on her face. Her movements were fierce and fast, and the crisp sound reverberated throughout the corridor, making He Yao¡¯s head buzz. ¡°Sheng Jiu, how dare you hit me!¡± He Yao covered her face and looked at Sheng Jiu with tears in her eyes. She had lived for 18 years and had always been the He family¡¯s treasure. She was the beloved daughter of the He family. When had she ever been treated like this? She had actually been hit by a fool like Sheng Jiu! ¡°You attacked me first. I¡¯m just returning an eye for an eye.¡± Sheng Jiu narrowed her eyes, which flickered with a fierce and sinister light. His gaze made He Yao¡¯s heart skip a beat. Since when did that idiot Sheng Jiu have such a terrifying gaze? She must be seeing things. He Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart. ¡°Sheng Jiu, how dare you hit me? I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± He Yao was an unreasonable young lady. After saying that, she raised her hand and was about to hit Sheng Jiu. This time, Sheng Jiu did not dodge or stop her. Instead, he quietly waited for He Yao¡¯s slap to land. However, He Yao¡¯s slap could not land. Shen Xiuwen, who had just gone upstairs, stopped her. Shen Xiuwen held a stick and used it to stop He Yao¡¯s slap. ¡°Who! Who dares to stop me¡­ Fourth Brother¡­¡± He Yao turned around and saw that the person who stopped her was Shen Xiuwen. She immediately cowered and looked at Shen Xiuwen with an aggrieved expression. ¡°He Yao, who gave you the courage to attack someon in Shen family compound?¡± Shen Xiuwen threw the stick aside. ¡°Fourth Brother, Sheng Jiu hit me first!¡± He Yao felt wronged. She tried to throw herself at Shen Xiuwen, but he avoided her in disgust. ¡°Fourth Brother, Sheng Jiu hit me so hard that it hurts. Look at my swollen face.¡± He Yao quickly put her red and swollen face in front of Shen Xiuwen. Shen Xiuwen didn¡¯t even bother to look at her. Instead, he looked past He Yao, aiming his eyes at the expressionless Sheng Jiu. ¡°Sheng Jiu is a fool. If you don¡¯t provoke him, will he hit you?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s tone was cold, but his words were protective of Sheng Jiu. He Yao did not expect Shen Xiuwen to side with Sheng Jiu, and the resentment in her heart intensified. Sheng Jiu was indeed a male vixen. Even Fourth Brother was protecting her! ¡°Fourth Brother, Sheng Jiu¡­¡± He Yao wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Sheng Jiu is just a fool. Why are you arguing with him? If your face hurts, go down and put some ice on it.¡± Then, he walked up to Sheng Jiu. ¡°Did you hit someone?¡± Sheng Jiu replied, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Show me your hand.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s lips curled up slightly. The Little Fool was really a little fool. She didn¡¯t even know how to lie. She just admitted it directly after hitting someone. Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t know what Shen Xiuwen wanted to do, but he still obediently opened her palm in front of him. Her palm was red. It seemed that she had used a lot of strength when she hit her. ¡°He Yao is a girl. Why did you hit her as a boy?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked casually. ¡°He Yao wanted to hit me first. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can look at the surveillance cameras.¡± Sheng Jiu pointed at the surveillance cameras above the corridor. ¡°I¡¯ll look at the surveillance cameras. If you lied, I¡¯ll punish you.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes darkened as he stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s face thoughtfully. He wanted to find something on her face. She even knew that there were surveillance cameras. This Little Fool might not be that stupid. After returning to the Sheng family compund, Sheng Jiu checked on Cheng Xinkai in her room. After Cheng Xinkai killed their family of three, he still dared to deal with the Qiao family¡¯s funeral as Qiao Xi¡¯s fianc¨¦. Then, he smoothly took over the assets under the Qiao family¡¯s name and said righteously that he would help the Qiao family pay off the related debts. Cheng Xinkai really planned to take over. Just as Sheng Jiu was about to check Cheng Xinkai¡¯s recent schedule, there was a knock on the door and a deafening roar outside. ¡°Sheng Jiu, open the door!¡± Sheng Jiu turned off the cell phone interface and opened the door to see her cousin standing outside. ¡°Cousin, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sheng Jiu, don¡¯t stay at home every day like an otaku. Haven¡¯t you had enough of being a monk in the temple for 18 years? I¡¯ll take you out to play today. If a man doesn¡¯t go out to have fun, how can a woman like you? Listen to me. I¡¯m doing this for your own good.¡± Jiang Pan really expected better from a certain someone. Sheng Jiu really wanted to thank Jiang Pan. She didn¡¯t need a woman to like her! However, she was quite interested in Jiang Pan¡¯s idea of going out to play. Jiang Pan loved to play and had a lot of connections, so he might be able to help her. Sheng Jiu asked, ¡°What are you going out for?¡± Jiang Pan: ¡°Have you heard of the Beijing Suburbs North Racing Club?¡± Of course, Sheng Jiu had heard of this racing club before. In her previous life, her family¡¯s automobile distribution company had been working with a racing club for a long time. The cooperation between the two parties had always been pleasant. Now that the automobile distribution company had become Cheng Xinkai¡¯s, with Cheng Xinkai¡¯s ability, he would definitely strengthen his cooperation with the club. So, if she went there, she might be able to find something. If she was lucky, he might even meet Cheng Xinkai. ¡°Let¡¯s go out and play. Hot girls and racing are men¡¯s paradise.¡± Jiang Pan brought Sheng Jiu directly to the racing club in the northern suburbs of Beijing. There was a small private racing competition here today. Jiang Pan was a racer himself. When he saw a few new cars, his hands started to itch. ¡°Sheng Jiu, do you know how to drive? I know you don¡¯t know how to drive yet, and you¡¯ve never touched a racing car before. But do you see the new racing car over there? I¡¯m going to try it out later. There are many beautiful girls around. See if there¡¯s anyone you¡¯re interested in. If you¡¯re interested, go up and talk to them. Don¡¯t really be a monk.¡± Jiang Pan kept introducing everything here to Sheng Jiu, especially the row of sexy and beautiful hot girls. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± Sheng Jiu was not interested in hot girls. She was more interested in racing. However, she could not reveal that she knew how to drive a racing car for the time being, so she just sat here and watched the competition quietly. ¡°It¡¯s so boring for you to be here alone. I¡¯ll get someone to come over and play with you.¡± Jiang Pan called a man over. The moment Sheng Jiu saw the man walking over, her pupils constricted, but she recovered her cold expression in an instant. ¡°Sheng Jiu, this is my friend, Cheng Taibo. He¡¯s also one of the people in charge of the club. Let him play with you, and you won¡¯t be bored,¡± said Jiang Pan. ¡°Hello, Brother Sheng Jiu. I¡¯m Cheng Taibo, Jiang Pan¡¯s brother. You can call me Brother Taibo.¡± Cheng Taibo introduced himself enthusiastically and even extended his hand to Sheng Jiu. However, Sheng Jiu did not shake his hand. Of course, she knew Cheng Taibo. He was Cheng Xinkai¡¯s cousin, a scumbag. He was a hooligan who played around in the human world. He was unrestrained in his playfulness and did not care about men and women. Now, Cheng Taibo was acting so attentive to her, and his eyes were shining as he stared at her. If Sheng Jiu was not wrong, Cheng Taibo must have taken a fancy to her beautiful face. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Hello.¡± Cheng Taibo smiled. ¡°Is Brother Sheng Jiu so shy?¡± Most of the wealthy families in Jing City knew about Sheng Jiu. Cheng Taibo also knew about her. She had been thrown into a Buddhist temple since she was young and raised like a monk. When she returned to the Sheng family, she was stupid. But he did not expect Sheng Jiu to be so beautiful. It had to be said that Sheng Jiu¡¯s face was completely in line with Cheng Taibo¡¯s aesthetic standards. He had always been open to both men and women. As long as they were good-looking and liked her, he could bring them to bed. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, do you have a girlfriend?¡± Cheng Taibo leaned closer to Sheng Jiu, but he still kept a certain distance, afraid that he would scare her away. With Sheng Jiu¡¯s appearance, it was obvious that she was a timid person. Sheng Jiu shook his head and looked at Cheng Taibo who was getting closer and closer to her. She frowned in disgust. She was now sure that Cheng Taibo really liked her appearance. That made things easier. She had a way to let Cheng Taibo take the bait successfully in her mind. As expected, this trip with Jiang Pan was not in vain. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, I¡¯m one of the shareholders of this club. Take a look and see if there are any racing cars you like. I can take you to play.¡± Cheng Taibo took out a photo album and showed it to Sheng Jiu. Initially, Sheng Jiu was not interested in these racing cars, but after seeing the new car¡¯s information and the test track, she became interested. The test driver could choose between the mountain road and the riverside. The mountain road in the suburbs of the capital was a good place. There were fewer people there, and it was a good place to start. Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°The red one. Let¡¯s go to the mountain road.¡± Sheng Jiuzhi pointed at a red sports car and suggested that they go to the mountain road for a test drive. As long as they went up the mountain, if Cheng Taibo didn¡¯t do anything to her, she would do something to him first. Part of Cheng Xinkai¡¯s debt should also be paid by Cheng Taibo. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, you know a lot about racing. Shall I take you for a test drive?¡± Cheng Taibo asked eagerly. The mountain road was actually quite dangerous. Typically, people who came to the club to test the car wouldn¡¯t choose this lane unless they were professional racers, so there was no one on the entire mountain, which made it convenient for them to do some things. Sheng Jiu, this fool, had walked into a trap. To Cheng Taibo, this was like to have something fall into your lap. ¡°Sure.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone calmed down. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to try the car.¡± Cheng Taibo left with Sheng Jiu excitedly. The two of them left the lounge with their own thoughts and walked through the hall to the parking lot at the back. When Sheng Jiu followed Cheng Taibo into the hall, she was caught by a pair of sinister eyes. ¡°Fourth Master, isn¡¯t that Little Fool Sheng Jiu?¡± He Sijun was introducing a the car to Shen Xiuwen. However, halfway through, he realized that Shen Xiuwen had no reaction. He looked up and saw Shen Xiuwen staring out of the window as if he was looking at something. He Sijun followed his gaze and happened to see Sheng Jiu walking into the hall. ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Xiuwen naturally saw Sheng Jiu. After all, he wasn¡¯t blind. He just didn¡¯t know what Sheng Jiu, that little fool, was doing at a racing club. Was she also interested in racing? ¡°I heard from He Yao that Sheng Jiu slept in your room last night?¡± He Sijun asked. ¡°Do you have a problem with that?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked. ¡°No problem, but don¡¯t you hate it the most when people come into your room? Besides, he hit He Yao. She¡¯s a girl.¡± He Sijun was a little angry at the thought of this. Although Sheng Jiu was stupid, he still hit people, and it was a girl! ¡°He Yao attacked Sheng Jiu first. He acted in self-defense and the surveillance cameras recorded it,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. He Sijun was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°The person next to Sheng Jiu is Cheng Taibo. He¡¯s a bastard. He¡¯s a man who likes both men and women. I¡¯m afraid he has his eyes on Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. Sheng Jiu even stupidly left with him.¡± ¡°Have you picked out the car?¡± At this moment, Shen Xiuwen stood up. He Sijun: ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Then let¡¯s go test the car.¡± On the other side, Cheng Taibo took Sheng Jiu to the red car and sped toward the top of the mountain. As he drove, he didn¡¯t forget to tease Sheng Jiu. ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you afraid?¡± Cheng Taibo¡¯s voice was very loud, but Sheng Jiu, who was wearing a helmet, pretended not to hear him. He looked ahead coldly. They were getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, if you¡¯re afraid, you have to tell me. I¡¯ll slow down.¡± Cheng Taibo raised his voice a little, but Sheng Jiu still pretended not to hear him. She continued to ignore him and just looked straight ahead. Cheng Taibo gave up on talking to Sheng Jiu. It was better to hurry up and drive the car to the top of the mountain. When they reached the top and the car stopped, Cheng Taibo unbuckled his seatbelt and approached Sheng Jiu. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Sheng Jiu took off her helmet and looked at Cheng Taibo with a dark expression. Her eyes were as sharp as knives. At that moment, Cheng Taibo was frightened by Sheng Jiu¡¯s gaze. How could this fool have such a terrifying gaze? It must be an illusion! ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, I just want to help you take off your helmet and seat belt.¡± Cheng Taibo quickly came back to his senses and adjusted the emotions on his face. Then, he approached Sheng Jiu again. Sheng Jiu threw the helmet into Cheng Taibo¡¯s arms and opened the door to get out of the car in one go. This Cheng Taibo was not an ordinary beast. He wanted to hit her in such a cramped car. She would teach him a lesson later! ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, where are you going?¡± Cheng Taibo quickly got out of the car and caught up with Sheng Jiu. He saw Sheng Jiu walking into the forest at the side. When he saw where Sheng Jiu was going, the evil thoughts in Cheng Taibo¡¯s heart were completely released. This little fool was simply stupid. Sheng Jiu going into the forest was like a sheep entering the tiger¡¯s den. If he didn¡¯t eat, he would be letting Sheng Jiu down!! ¡°I just saw a hare. Brother Taibo, can you help me catch it?¡± Sheng Jiu looked back at Cheng Taibo innocently. Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sure, as long as it¡¯s Brother Sheng Jiu¡¯s request, I¡¯ll definitely fulfill it. But if I catch a wild rabbit, what reward will you give me?¡± Cheng Taibo took the opportunity to make a request. ¡°What reward do you want?¡± Sheng Jiu narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Cheng Taibo¡¯s face. ¡°I want Brother Sheng Jiu¡¯s hugs and kisses. Is that okay?¡± Cheng Taibo asked directly. He really treated Sheng Jiu as a stupid beauty who didn¡¯t even know what kisses and hugs were. ¡°Of course.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. She only hoped that Cheng Taibo was still alive to come out and get the reward. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, let¡¯s go in together.¡± Cheng Taibo reached out to pull Sheng Jiu, but Sheng Jiu avoided him. Cheng Taibo¡¯s motive was written all over his face. Sheng Jiu could tell at a glance that he was up to something disgusting. ¡°Then you go first.¡± Sheng Jiu cooperated with Cheng Taibo. Sheng Jiu walked into the depths of the forest with a scheming smile on her face. Sheng Jiu slowly followed behind Cheng Taibo. Then, when he was not paying attention, she picked up a sturdy wooden stick and hit Cheng Taibo¡¯s calf! Sheng Jiu used a lot of strength and was fast and ruthless. Cheng Taibo did not react at all and fell straight forward. Sheng Jiu rode on Cheng Taibo¡¯s back and pressed the stick on his hands, forcing Cheng Taibo to be unable to move. ¡°Sheng Jiu, what are you doing?¡± Cheng Taibo finally reacted and kept struggling. ¡°Cheng Taibo, did you want to violate me?¡± Sheng Jiu asked in a low voice. Cheng Taibo was dumbfounded. Wasn¡¯t Sheng Jiu a fool? How could a fool press him down so forcefully and immobilize him? Cheng Taibo couldn¡¯t accept this fact at all. He even wondered if Sheng Jiu was the kind of fool who would go crazy when provoked. Perhaps she was in a relapse now. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, did you misunderstand something? Let go of me first. You¡¯re hurting me.¡± Cheng Taibo tried to beg for mercy to calm Sheng Jiu down. Otherwise, he would be killed. ¡°Cheng Taibo, am I pretty?¡± Sheng Jiu asked him in a cold voice. She increased the strength of his grip. Cheng Taibo felt that both his hands were about to be crippled. This Sheng Jiu was really a lunatic! ¡°Beautiful, very beautiful. You¡¯re even more beautiful than a woman!¡± Cheng Taibo replied hurriedly. ¡°Do you like my appearance?¡± Sheng Jiu continued to ask. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. It hurts. Brother Sheng Jiu, can you let go of me first? Tell me what you want. I¡¯ll definitely give it to you.¡± Cheng Taibo was a frivolous member of an aristocratic family. His physical fitness was very trashy. Now that he was pressed down by Sheng Jiu, he could not move at all. It was already difficult for him to even move, let alone fight back. Therefore, he could only admit defeat and please Sheng Jiu, hoping that she would let him go. However, as long as Sheng Jiu dared to let go of him, he would kill her directly! ¡°Cheng Taibo, my face is good-looking, and there are many people who have designs on me, but none of them have a good ending.¡± What Sheng Jiu said was not a threat, but a fact. In the year since Sheng Jiu returned to the Sheng family from the Buddhist temple, many men and women had been attracted to her face, but they were all dealt with in the end. ¡°I know. It¡¯s my fault. It¡¯s my fault. Brother Sheng Jiu, please let me go. I promise I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Cheng Taibo was really afraid. He thought that Sheng Jiu was a little fool, but he didn¡¯t expect her to be a big lunatic. When he could stand up, he would definitely kill this lunatic who was scaring him! Then, he would leave him here to feed the wolves! ¡°Cheng Taibo, there are very few people in this forest. I heard that there are even wild wolves here. If I kill you here, your corpse will be eaten by the wild wolves and you will die quietly. No one will know.¡± Sheng Jiu seemed to know what Cheng Taibo was thinking and said out loud what he was thinking. When she said this, Cheng Taibo¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°Brother Sheng Jiu, no, Young Master Sheng! From now on, you¡¯re my ancestor. You¡¯re my ancestor. I¡¯m lecherous and I deserve to die. Please let me go this time, okay? If there¡¯s anything in the future, you can tell me. I¡¯ll definitely do as you say!¡± Cheng Taibo begged without any dignity. As long as Sheng Jiu let him go, he would agree to anything. Cheng Taibo had played with many men and women, but this was the first time he had encountered such a tough opponent, so he had to give in first. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re the one who said that. Cheng Taibo, if you can¡¯t do it, I can make you disappear from this world.¡± Sheng Jiu increased the strength in her hand and pulled the stick back heavily. Cheng Taibo¡¯s arm was dislocated! Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Ah!¡± Cheng Taibo screamed in pain, not caring about his image at all. ¡°Cheng Taibo, is Cheng Xinkai on good terms with you?¡± Sheng Jiu did not loosen her grip when he heard Cheng Taibo¡¯s scream. Cheng Taibo felt that his arm was about to break. Sheng Jiu was a lunatic, and he could not afford to offend her at all! ¡°Cheng Xinkai? Our relationship¡­ is average. He¡¯s just my cousin. If he provoked you, you can just take revenge on him. Don¡¯t hurt me.¡± Cheng Taibo¡¯s voice was loud and filled with panic. After all this fuss, the person who had a grudge against Cheng Xinkai was Sheng Jiu. However, the both of them were members of the Cheng family. No wonder Sheng Jiu was so ruthless to him. ¡°Cheng Taibo, you¡¯re not innocent. You know how many evil things you¡¯ve done,¡± said Sheng Jiu coldly. Cheng Taibo was not a kind person. The Cheng family was full of scum. Each of them was worse than the other, each more vicious than the last. Cheng Taibo often played with women¡¯s feelings, cheated them of their money, caused them to get pregnant and have a miscarriage, and even forced several poor women to die. He even drugged and raped several good-looking men. In short, the evil deeds Cheng Taibo had done were innumerable. This was only what Sheng Jiu had heard before. There were still many things that had not spread. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m a scumbag. I shouldn¡¯t have deceived and played with other people¡¯s feelings. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Cheng Taibo shouted as he admitted his mistake. His arm had already been dislocated. If he didn¡¯t go to the hospital, would he be crippled? Cheng Taibo was panicking. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be apologizing to me. You should be apologizing to those who have been hurt by you!¡± Sheng Jiu sneered. Those who had been played by Cheng Taibo were the ones who needed Cheng Taibo to apologize. ¡°I will. I promise you. I¡¯ll apologize to them after I go down the mountain and compensate them. Can you let me go to the hospital first? I¡¯m afraid my arm¡­¡± Cheng Taibo said carefully. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good that your arm is crippled? Scum like you don¡¯t deserve to have four limbs and clean facial features,¡± said Sheng Jiu coldly. Her tone was cold and heartless. ¡°Sheng Jiu, I know I was wrong. I¡¯ll do anything you want me to do. Just tell me what to do!¡± Cheng Taibo was able to do so well in brothels not only because he spent money generously, but also because he was smart and adapted to the situation. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Tell me everything about Cheng Xinkai.¡± Cheng Taibo: ¡°I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk!¡± ¡­ ¡°Fourth Master, this is the car that that bastard Cheng Taibo drove. He really has ill intentions by bringing Little Fool here,¡± He Sijun teased as he looked at the red car parked by the roadside. Shen Xiuwen glanced at the footprints beside him and walked into the forest, hoping that nothing would happen to that Little Fool Sheng Jiu. ¡°Fourth Master, Fourth Master, wait for me. How did you know that Little Fool and that bastard are this way?¡± He Sijun chased after him. Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Look at the footprints.¡± He Sijun looked down at the ground. There were messy footprints on the soft soil. They should belong to Sheng Jiu and Cheng Taibo. Fourth Master was indeed Fourth Master. He was smart! ¡°Fourth Master, you can completely ignore that Little Fool Sheng Jiu¡¯s matter.¡± He Sijun stepped on the mud and felt a little depressed. ¡°You can go back to the car first.¡± Shen Xiuwen continued to walk into the forest. He Sijun was right. He had no obligation to care about Sheng Jiu, this Little Fool. However, he could not let Sheng Jiu die when he knew that she would be bullied by scumbags. ¡°What are you talking about, Sir? Of course I¡¯m going to look for Little Fool with you¡­¡± He Sijun quickly caught up with Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Ah¡­ Ouch, it hurts, it hurts¡­¡± Cheng Taibo¡¯s cries came from the depths of the forest. ¡°Is it¡­ that exciting?¡± He Sijun wanted to whistle. Even though they were deep in the woods, they didn¡¯t have to be so wild, right? Sure enough, people who knew how to play were different. However, there was something wrong with the sound. Why was it only Cheng Taibo¡¯s voice? Where was Sheng Jiu? Was Sheng Jiu up there? ¡°Who sreams like that when they¡¯re excited?¡± Shen Xiuwen was speechless. ¡°Ah?¡± He Sijun was stunned. ¡°That Little Fool¡­¡± ¡°Stay here and don¡¯t move,¡± Shen Xiuwen said and strode inside. He was afraid that there would be some restricted images inside. The fewer people who saw it, the better. ¡°Eh? Wait, Fourth Master. I can¡¯t miss such an exciting scene.¡± Of course, He Sijun was unwilling to wait here and quickly followed. The scene in front of them was indeed quite exciting, but it was not the kind of restricted scene that Shen Xiuwen and He Sijun had imagined. Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Cheng Taibo was lying on the ground, covered in mud. Sheng Jiu sat on the ground beside him expressionlessly and stared at him coldly. Sheng Jiu was also covered in mud, as if he had crawled out of a pit. She was also holding a stick in her hand and would hit Cheng Taibo from time to time. Cheng Taibo¡¯s painful scream came from this. Was this Little Fool Sheng Jiu so cruel? ¡°Sheng Jiu!¡± Shen Xiuwen did not expect to see such a scene when he came over. Seeing Sheng Jiu sitting there pitifully, his heart inexplicably tightened. Fortunately, Little Fool was not that stupid. She knew how to teach bad people a lesson to protect herself. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen.¡± Sheng Jiu stood up and walked up to Shen Xiuwen. Her face was full of grievance and fear. Her big eyes blinked as if tears would flow out in the next second. ¡°Are you hurt?¡± Shen Xiuwen stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. Unfortunately, she was covered in mud, so he could not tell if she was hurt or not. ¡°Here, here, and here. It hurts.¡± Sheng Jiu pointed at a few places casually. Anyway, she was very dirty now, and he could not tell where she was injured. Fortunately, she was smart. When she heard the footsteps, she got off Cheng Taibo and covered herself in mud before the footsteps arrived, making her looked aggrieved and pitiful. Cheng Taibo was still lying on the ground, unable to move. He was shocked by Sheng Jiu¡¯s acting skills. Sheng Jiu was not an ordinary lunatic. She was a complete lunatic! Fortunately, he had already admitted defeat and begged for mercy. Otherwise, he would have really died in Sheng Jiu¡¯s hands. ¡°How did you get hurt?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze turned colder. ¡°He did it.¡± Sheng Jiu pushed the blame to Cheng Taibo without any guilt. If not for the fact that she was very powerful, her body would definitely be covered in injuries caused by Cheng Taibo. Therefore, her words were not a lie. Cheng Taibo was a scumbag! ¡°How did he hurt you?¡± Shen Xiuwen looked at Cheng Taibo coldly, as if he would crush Cheng Taibo¡¯s neck in the next second. ¡°He wants to kiss me and hug me. If I resist¡­¡± Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t need to say much before Shen Xiuwen understood. He interrupted Sheng Jiu directly. ¡°He Sijun, deal with it.¡± ¡°Fourth Master, I¡¯m innocent. I¡¯m innocent!¡± Cheng Taibo was scared out of his wits when he heard that Shen Xiuwen was going to deal with him. If Sheng Jiu were to go crazy and touch him, she would at most beat him up. However, if Shen Xiuwen wanted to deal with him, he would lose his life! ¡°Innocent?¡± Shen Xiuwen stepped on Cheng Taibo¡¯s back. At that moment, Cheng Taibo felt like his spine was about to break. Shen Xiuwen was famous for his brutality and cold-bloodedness. Whoever touched him would die! Shen Xiuwen asked, ¡°Did you bring Sheng Jiu here?¡± Cheng Taibo: ¡°Yes, yes¡­¡± Shen Xiuwen asked, ¡°Did you like Sheng Jiu¡¯s face?¡± Cheng Taibo: ¡°¡­ Yes, yes.¡± Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Did you want to touch Sheng Jiu?¡± Cheng Taibo said, ¡°I was wrong, Fourth Master. I won¡¯t do it again. I really won¡¯t.¡± ¡°Mm, you won¡¯t be able to do it either.¡± Shen Xiuwen kicked Cheng Taibo hard, causing him to scream in pain again. ¡°Tsk, what a beast. His name is so unpleasant. Cheng Taibo, of all people, why do you have to like the Little Fool?¡± He Sijun shook his head. ¡°Don¡¯t kill him.¡± When Sheng Jiu saw Shen Xiuwen¡¯s ruthless methods, she broke out in a cold sweat for Cheng Taibo. She was afraid that Shen Xiuwen would go overboard and kill Cheng Taibo, as she still wanted to keep Cheng Taibo for her own use. ¡°Little Fool, you don¡¯t have to worry about that. Fourth Brother Shen knows what he¡¯s doing.¡± He Sijun smiled and patted Sheng Jiu¡¯s head. Then, he looked at Cheng Taibo. ¡°It¡¯s too easy to kill him directly. We have ten thousand ways to make him wish he was dead.¡± Seeing He Sijun¡¯s perverted look, Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t care anymore. As long as he didn¡¯t kill him, he could do whatever he wanted. ¡°Sheng Jiu, let¡¯s go.¡± Shen Xiuwen handed Cheng Taibo to He Sijun and called out to Sheng Jiu. ¡°Fourth Brother, I can¡¯t walk anymore. Can you carry me?¡± Sheng Jiu asked Shen Xiuwen directly. She knew that Shen Xiuwen was obsessed with cleanliness and did not like to interact with others. Moreover, she was so dirty now. She wanted to disgust and provoke Shen Xiuwen so that he would stay away from her in the future. The person Sheng Jiu was most afraid of now was Shen Xiuwen. His dark and cold eyes seemed to be able to see through her soul. The closer she got, the more dangerous it was. Therefore, she had to find a way to keep Shen Xiuwen away from her. Chapter 20 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Your leg is broken?¡± Shen Xiuwen looked at the mud on Sheng Jiu¡¯s body in disdain. In order to find Sheng Jiu, he had stepped into the muddy forest which left mud all over the soles of his shoes. This had already crossed Shen Xiuwen¡¯s bottom line. Now, this Little Fool wanted him to carry her. How great of a dream that is! It was already good enough that he did not throw the Little Fool into the mountains. ¡°No.¡± Sheng Jiu shook her head. ¡°Then walk by yourself.¡± Shen Xiuwen turned around and strode out. Then, Sheng Jiu followed behind him slowly. After a few steps, she slowed down. ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you a tortoise?¡± Shen Xiuwen had long legs so he walked in large strides. Sensing that Sheng Jiu was not following him, he stopped and turned around. He saw Sheng Jiu slowly moving a dozen meters away from him. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen, my leg hurts. I can¡¯t walk anymore. Can you carry me?¡± Now, not only did Sheng Jiu pretend to be in pain, but she also deliberately spoke to Shen Xiuwen in a coquettish tone while looking at him with her bright black eyes. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen¡­ Forget it, you should leave first. I¡¯ll walk out slowly. Just pretend that I didn¡¯t say anything just now.¡± Seeing that Shen Xiuwen had no intention of moving, Sheng Jiu changed her strategy and took a step back. ¡°Fourth Brother, you go first. It¡¯s too dirty here.¡± Shen Xiuwen saw that Sheng Jiu really could not walk and looked pitiful. He could not help but feel sympathetic. After some thought, he walked up to Sheng Jiu and squatted down. ¡°Come up.¡± Sheng Jiu looked at Shen Xiuwen¡¯s broad back in disbelief. She had thought that he would abandon her and leave first, but in the end, this man walked up to her and squatted down after thinking for a few seconds! Now that she was the one in a difficult position, did she want Shen Xiuwen to carry her? ¡°Sheng Jiu, come up.¡± Shen Xiuwen sounded impatient. ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯m covered in mud. It¡¯s not good to dirty your clothes.¡± Sheng Jiu looked at Shen Xiuwen¡¯s white shirt and felt a little embarrassed. ¡°Don¡¯t make me repeat myself a third time. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have to spend the night in the forest.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s patience was exhausted, and he threatened her directly. Without any hesitation, Sheng Jiu climbed onto Shen Xiuwen¡¯s back and tried her best to straighten her back so that her chest would not be pressed against his back. Otherwise, she would easily expose herself. However, this posture was too tiring, but Sheng Jiu could not complain. It was all her fault. Shen Xiuwen carried Sheng Jiu to the car and put her down. Then, he began to unbutton his shirt. ¡°Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, why are you taking off your clothes?¡± When Sheng Jiu came to her senses, she saw Shen Xiuwen¡¯s honey-colored chest. His muscles were really good-looking! It was just that it was not good to take off his clothes in broad daylight¡­ ¡°It¡¯s dirty.¡± The moment Shen Xiuwen unbuttoned his shirt, Sheng Jiu realized the seriousness of the matter. ¡°Fourth Brother, you can change your dirty clothes when you go back.¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, take off your clothes too. Don¡¯t get into the car dirty.¡± Shen Xiuwen threw his shirt to the ground. ¡°Fourth Brother, your pants are clean. You don¡¯t need to take them off, do you? If the car gets dirty, I¡¯ll get someone to wash it for you. No, I¡¯ll buy you a new one.¡± Sheng Jiu was really afraid that Shen Xiuwen would take off all his clothes in one go. In fact, Shen Xiuwen did not plan to take off all his clothes. His pants were not stained with mud, only his shirt was dirty because he carried Jiu on his back. When Sheng Jiu saw Shen Xiuwen get into the car, she quickly followed him in and sat down. ¡°Fourth Brother, let¡¯s drive.¡± Shen Xiuwen was very good at driving, so he returned to the club in no time. When Jiang Pan saw Sheng Jiu getting out of the car, he wanted to rush over and hug her, but when he saw her covered in mud, he gave up. Did Sheng Jiu go to the mud pond to roll around? ¡°Sheng Jiu, where did you go? Why are you so dirty? Did you fall? Are you hurt?¡± Jiang Pan asked anxiously. Sheng Jiu was the Sheng family¡¯s treasure. If Sheng Jiu was injured because of him, the Sheng family would eat him up! ¡°I came back from the mountain,¡± Sheng Jiu answered. ¡°Why did you go to the mountain? And why did you come back with Fourth Master Shen? Didn¡¯t you go to the mountain road to test the car? Where¡¯s Cheng Taibo? Didn¡¯t I ask him to take good care of you? He¡¯s too irresponsible!¡± Looking at Shen Xiuwen¡¯s naked upper body, Jiang Pan felt that the situation was weird no matter how he looked at it. Why was Shen Xiuwen¡¯s upper body naked for no reason? Did he do anything to Sheng Jiu? His concerns were valid. After all, Sheng Jiu¡¯s face was really beautiful. It was impossible to tell if she was male or female. Both men and women would like her. ¡°Cheng Taibo is feeding the wolves at the top of the mountain.¡± Sheng Jiu entire body turned cold at the mention of Cheng Taibo. ing¡±Feed the wolves?¡± Jiang Pan widened his eyes. ¡°Jiang Pan, keep your eyes open when you make friends in the future. Don¡¯t bring any scumbags to Sheng Jiu,¡± Shen Xiuwen said coldly before walking into the club. Chapter 21 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sheng Jiu, what does Fourth Master Shen mean by that?¡± Jiang Pan looked at Sheng Jiu in confusion. ¡°Take me to the shower first.¡± Sheng Jiu did not want to explain anything. She was too dirty and needed to take a shower first. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to take a shower!¡± Jiang Pan was also a big-hearted person. He brought Sheng Jiu directly to the room upstairs and got someone to send over a set of sportswear, as there were no other clothes for Sheng Jiu to change into at the club. Sheng Jiu hurriedly took a shower and came out. She saw Jiang Pan pacing back and forth anxiously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Sheng Jiu asked as she dried her hair. ¡°I haven¡¯t been able to contact Cheng Taibo.¡± Jiang Pan glanced at Sheng Jiu. The loose sportswear made her look even thinner. She looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She had been back for more than a year, but why was she still so thin? ¡°There¡¯s no need to contact him. Cheng Taibo is still at the top of the mountain. I was brought up the mountain by him. However, it had just rained heavily two days ago, so it¡¯s not easy to drive up there. So, everybody here knows not to test their cars up in the mountains today, but, Cousin, why do you think Cheng Taibo brought me up the mountain?¡± Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t say it too clearly, but her hidden undertones within words was very clear. Jiang Pan wasn¡¯t a fool. He knew what Sheng Jiu meant. ¡°That bastard Cheng Taibo! How dare he target you? I¡¯ll settle the score with him now! I¡¯ll castrate him!¡± Jiang Pan was furious. He didn¡¯t expect Cheng Taibo to target Sheng Jiu with such dirty thoughts. He wanted to kill that bastard Cheng Taibo now! ¡°You don¡¯t have to go. Fourth Brother¡¯s men will deal with him.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was calm. It was enough that He Sijun was up there to torture Cheng Taibo. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you¡­ are you not stupid anymore?¡± Jiang Pan realized that Sheng Jiu seemed to be different. In the past, Sheng Jiu was always silly and expressionless. She was not interested in anything. When she returned to the Sheng family, she would just get up early in the morning and meditate. Other than meditating, Sheng Jiu did not seem to do anything else. But now, Sheng Jiu¡¯s eyes were cool and sharp, and her face was cold. She exuded a sharpness that could not be ignored. This was something that Sheng Jiu did not have in the past. ¡°Cousin, have I ever said that I¡¯m a fool?¡± Sheng Jiu asked lightly. ¡°No.¡± Jiang Pan had to admit that after Sheng Jiu came back from the Buddhist temple, she only liked to stay at home and rarely came into contact with the outside world. However, she had never said that she was a fool. A fool was the outside world¡¯s evaluation of her. ¡°Outsiders think that I don¡¯t like to talk and argue with others. They say that I¡¯m a fool, but I know very well whether I¡¯m a fool or not,¡± said Sheng Jiu. ¡°So, Sheng Jiu, are you really not a fool?¡± Jiang Pan still could not believe it. He stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s face and saw that her palm-sized face was exquisite and beautiful. Her eyes were black and bright. No matter how he looked at it, this face was very beautiful. Previously, someone had said that Sheng Jiu¡¯s beautiful face was bought with her intelligence. Now, Jiang Pan felt that perhaps her face and intelligence were proportional. In the future, if anyone said that Sheng Jiu was a fool, he would cut that person open on the spot! ¡°Has Fourth Brother Shen left?¡± Sheng Jiu asked. ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s gone yet. Sheng Jiu, I remember that you used to be very afraid of Fourth Master Shen. When you saw him, you acted like a mouse seeing a cat. How did your relationship suddenly improve?¡± Jiang Pan was very surprised. Everything that had happened today had surprised him. Now, his small head was full of big question marks. ¡°I¡¯m still very afraid of him, so I have to leave before he leaves.¡± With that, Sheng Jiu opened the door and walked out, hoping that she would never bump into Shen Xiuwen again. ¡°By the way, Cousin, get someone to see if Fourth Brother Shen¡¯s car can be cleaned. If it can¡¯t be cleaned, help me order a brand new identical one. I¡¯ll pay.¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, since when did you like racing?¡± Jiang Pan was curious. ¡°No, it¡¯s for Fourth Brother Shen.¡± Sheng Jiu loved racing, but she couldn¡¯t buy it now. She had to wait until the time was right. ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you stupid? Why did you give him a racing car worth tens of millions?¡± Jiang Pan widened his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m the one who dirtied Fourth Brother Shen¡¯s car. Of course, I have to compensate.¡± As Sheng Jiu spoke, she pressed the elevator button. At this moment, the elevator door beside her opened. He Sijun saw Sheng Jiu and greeted him with a smile. ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you done showering? Fourth Master is upstairs. Come, let¡¯s go over together.¡± He Sijun invited Sheng Jiu warmly. ¡°No need. Cousin and I are going home.¡± Sheng Jiu refused without hesitation. She was leaving now to avoid Shen Xiuwen. How could she go up with He Sijun? If she did, wouldn¡¯t she be walking into a trap? Chapter 22 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know how Cheng Taibo is doing?¡± After saying that, He Sijun reached out and pulled Sheng Jiu into the elevator. When Jiang Pan came back to his senses, the elevator door had already closed. He was the one who had brought Sheng Jiu here, so he had to bring her back. Otherwise, the Sheng family would kill him. However¡­ Jiang Pan shivered at the thought of Shen Xiuwen¡¯s unpredictable personality. He did not want to have any contact with him, so he decided to wait for Sheng Jiu in the hall downstairs. He Sijun dragged Sheng Jiu into the elevator and out of the elevator. He dragged her all the way to Shen Xiuwen¡¯s room. His actions were done in one go, not giving Sheng Jiu any time to react. When Sheng Jiu came back to her senses, she was already in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s room. Shen Xiuwen came to open the door with a towel wrapped around him. His abs and calves were all exposed in front of Sheng Jiu, which was a feast for the eyes. Sheng Jiu clicked her tongue. This man always showed off his figure in front of her. ¡°Wow, Fourth Master, you¡¯re being so showy today?¡± He Sijun whistled. ¡°I¡¯m going to change.¡± Shen Xiuwen ignored He Sijun. When he came out again, he was already dressed like an elite in a white shirt and a pair of black pants. His aura was very strong. His gaze fell on Sheng Jiu, as if to confirm whether she was injured. Sheng Jiu felt Shen Xiuwen¡¯s scrutinizing gaze and subconsciously lowered her head. Previously, she had pretended to be injured and cried out in pain on the mountain. Now that he was staring at her, it was as if someone had torn off her mask. ¡°Fourth Master, your abdominal muscles are really handsome.¡± He Sijun did not notice the strange atmosphere between Sheng Jiu and Shen Xiuwen. He opened a bottle of beverage and looked at his cell phone. When he saw the news about Shen Xiuwen, he even teased him. Just now, Shen Xiuwen had walked into the club topless, causing waves of howls. A group of people had taken photos and boldly uploaded them online. Although the Shen Corporation¡¯s public relations department had immediately informed Shen Xiuwen and cleaned up the news online, those few seconds of popularity were enough to make Shen Xiuwen¡¯s photos fly all over the Internet. Fortunately, Sheng Jiu¡¯s face was covered in mud at that time, so her face could not be seen. Therefore, the audience¡¯s attention was focused on Shen Xiuwen. No one paid attention to Sheng Jiu. Fortunately, the Shen Corporation¡¯s public relations department was very professional and did not involve Sheng Jiu. Otherwise, if Sheng Jiu was also trending, the Sheng family would have objections. ¡°They want to raise fish in Fourth Master¡¯s collarbone¡­ and surf on Fourth Master¡¯s abs¡­ Tsk tsk, these young people really dare to think about our Fourth Master¡¯s body.¡± He Sijun read out the comments online and even expressed his thoughts. ¡°He Sijun, do you want to taste Fourth Master¡¯s fist?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked lightly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to, I don¡¯t want to. I can¡¯t withstand Fourth Master¡¯s fist. However, Fourth Master, why did you take off your shirt and come back naked?¡± He Sijun was very puzzled. Why did Shen Xiuwen, who had always been obsessed with cleanliness and cared about his image, appear in public with his bare upper body? ¡°My shirt was dirty.¡± When Shen Xiuwen said this, he looked at Sheng Jiu indifferently. He Sijun: ¡°Wasn¡¯t it not dirty when we left?¡± ¡°Fourth Brother carried me out of the forest, and I dirtied his shirt with the mud on my body.¡± Under pressure, Sheng Jiu quickly explained the truth. ¡°In that case, Sheng Jiu, our Fourth Master sacrificed so much because of you. How are you going to compensate him?¡± He Sijun teased Sheng Jiu. ¡°I¡¯ll compensate Fourth Brother with a shirt and a racing car.¡± Sheng Jiu had already made up her mind. She would compensate for dirtying Shen Xiuwen¡¯s shirt and car. ¡°You dirtied these things, so of course you have to compensate. But what about the compensation for Fourth Master¡¯s mental damage? Our Fourth Master¡¯s reputation is the most important.¡± He Sijun did not expect this Little Fool, Sheng Jiu, to be so clear-headed that she even knew how to compensate for dirtying things. ¡°Fourth Brother, what kind of compensation do you want, or how much do you want?¡± Sheng Jiu asked Shen Xiuwen. Shen Xiuwen did not want Sheng Jiu to compensate him. It was just a piece of clothing and a car. He did not know how many limited edition luxury cars he had under his name. But if Sheng Jiu said that she wanted to compensate him, then he wouldn¡¯t mind accepting the compensation. After all, he also had to think about the mental trauma he had to endure. ¡°Mental damage is priceless. Sheng Jiu, are you sure you want to compensate me?¡± Shen Xiuwen said lightly. He wanted to see what this Little Fool Sheng Jiu could compensate him with. ¡°As long as Fourth Brother wants it, I can compensate you with whatever I can do.¡± Sheng Jiu still wanted to take the initiative. She could not let Shen Xiuwen decide everything, nor could she let him call the shots like Cheng Xinkai in her previous life. If this happened again, she would again end up in a miserable state. It was enough that the same thing happened once. She could not repeat the same mistake. Chapter 23 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sheng Jiu, I have a lot of requests. Are you really willing?¡± Shen Xiuwen was not joking. Perhaps he was thinking too much. He felt that Sheng Jiu was not a Little Fool who would be manipulated by others. ¡°Yes.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. ¡°Then treat me to a meal first. I¡¯ll talk about the rest when I think of it.¡± Shen Xiuwen saw the serious look on Sheng Jiu¡¯s face and felt that it was worth it to show off his abdominal muscles. ¡°Fourth Brother, you can choose the cafeteria.¡± It was just a meal, and Sheng Jiu could still afford it. What she was worried about now was what Shen Xiuwen¡¯s remaining requests would be. This man was scheming and unpredictable. No one knew what he was thinking, but Sheng Jiu was not too afraid. She would deal with whatever came his way. She believed that she could satisfy Shen Xiuwen¡¯s request. If Shen Xiuwen¡¯s request was too much, she would pretend to be stupid and avoid marrying him. ¡°He Sijun, where¡¯s Cheng Taibo?¡± Sheng Jiu did not forget that scumbag. Although she really wanted He Sijun to kill Cheng Taibo, Cheng Taibo was still useful to Sheng Jiu. He could not die for the time being. ¡°He was just beaten up and thrown to the hospital. Following your words, he didn¡¯t die. But, Sheng Jiu, have you become stupid from studying in the Buddhist temple? Your mind is really filled with Buddha¡¯s mercy. Cheng Taibo has already treated you like that, and you still want to let him off?¡± He Sijun was too curious about Sheng Jiu. She was clearly so ruthless to Chu Ling¡¯er and Chu Haotian, so why did she become soft when it came to Cheng Taibo? There were too many mysteries about Sheng Jiu. No wonder even Fourth Master looked at her in a new light. Perhaps the Little Fool was a fool? Perhaps she could turn on her IQ at any time and play tricks like a cheat? ¡°The Buddhist Temple teaches a lot of things, not just Buddha¡¯s mercy.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. The Buddhist Temple did not teach Sheng Jiu much. Other than knocking on wooden fish and chanting scriptures, there was nothing else. However, she had changed her soul now and knew a lot of things. She would let them experience it in the future. ¡°I do want to experience it. I hope I have the chance,¡± He Sijun said half-jokingly. ¡°If you want to see it, then go to the Buddhist temple and stay there for 18 years.¡± Shen Xiuwen gave He Sijun a cold look. ¡°Fourth Master, I don¡¯t want to become a monk. I haven¡¯t had enough fun in this world. Besides, I can¡¯t bear to part with you¡­¡± He Sijun deliberately pinched his throat. It was better to strangle him to death than to let him become a monk! ¡°Sheng Jiu, let¡¯s go.¡± Shen Xiuwen waved at Sheng Jiu. ¡°Huh?¡± Sheng Jiu was puzzled. Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Buy me dinner.¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you alright?¡± Jiang Pan had been waiting anxiously in the hall. When he saw Sheng Jiu coming out, he quickly went up to him. Then, he glanced at Shen Xiuwen and He Sijun warily, afraid that they would do something to Sheng Jiu. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was indifferent. ¡°Where¡¯s Cheng Taibo?¡± Jiang Pan asked in a low voice. That bastard Cheng Taibo actually dared to have designs on Sheng Jiu and even kidnapped her to the mountain. He had to teach him a lesson and let him know what it meant to be a person. He had to know who he could touch and what he could not. ¡°You¡¯ll see him in two days.¡± Sheng Jiu knew that He Sijun meant what he said. Cheng Taibo was probably badly beaten up and then thrown to the hospital. Cheng Taibo would probably have to recuperate for many days. ¡°You didn¡¯t kill him, did you?¡± Jiang Pan asked in a low voice. He glanced at Shen Xiuwen. He knew this man¡¯s methods. He could torture people to death and make them wish they were dead. In short, anyone who fell into his hands would not have a good ending. He was cold-blooded and cruel. Sheng Jiu was an innocent little fool. He did not know if she would go astray if she stayed with Shen Xiuwen for too long. ¡°There¡¯s no point in killing him now,¡± Sheng Jiu said lightly. Jiang Pan paused for a moment. It was over. Sheng Jiu had indeed gone astray. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Sheng Jiu, let me send you home.¡± Jiang Pan held Sheng Jiu¡¯s hand and walked out. ¡°Young Master Jiang, you said Sheng Jiu is leaving?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked lightly. ¡°Fourth Master Shen, Sheng Jiu is my cousin. I brought him out. Of course, I have to send him back. Otherwise, I will be scolded.¡± Jiang Pan did not dare to provoke Shen Xiuwen, but protecting Sheng Jiu was more important at this time. ¡°Young Master Jiang, Sheng Jiu said that he would treat our Fourth Master to a meal. If you¡¯re worried, you can come with us.¡± He Sijun looked at Jiang Pan with a smile. His fake smile was really scary. ¡°Sheng Jiu, is what they said true?¡± Jiang Pan did not believe He Sijun¡¯s words and turned to ask Sheng Jiu. Chapter 24 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Yes, I promised to treat Fourth Brother Shen to a meal.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go together. Sheng Jiu, you take my car.¡± Jiang Pan made the first move and pulled Sheng Jiu into his car. This time, Shen Xiuwen did not stop him. He watched Jiang Pan as he pull Sheng Jiu away. The Red House was a century-old private restaurant in Beijing. The environment was elegant and the taste of the food was top-notch. Combined, the price was naturally not cheap. ¡°Sheng Jiu, this restaurant¡¯s vegetarian dishes are the best in the capital. I¡¯ll order you some white jade tofu later¡­¡± Before Jiang Pan could finish speaking, Shen Xiuwen interrupted him lightly. ¡°Sheng Jiu can eat meat.¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, is Fourth Master telling the truth?¡± Jiang Pan did not quite believe his words. After all, Sheng Jiu had been back from the Buddhist temple for a year and still maintained the habit of eating vegetarian food. How could she eat meat without touching any meat? He must be spouting nonsense. Sheng Jiu nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, I thought you didn¡¯t eat meat?¡± Jiang Pan¡¯s understanding of Sheng Jiu was once again overturned. He thought that he knew Sheng Jiu very well, but the current Sheng Jiu seemed to be a different person. ¡°From now on.¡± Sheng Jiu was very calm when he saw Jiang Pan¡¯s shocked expression. This was only the beginning. In the future, Jiang Pan and the others would be even more shocked. Shen Xiuwen called out to He Sijun, who nodded. ¡°I understand, Fourth Master.¡± With that, he pulled Jiang Pan away. ¡°Young Master Jiang, come with me.¡± Jiang Pan struggled. ¡°I want to stay with Sheng Jiu.¡± ¡°Our Fourth Master doesn¡¯t like to eat with strangers.¡± He Sijun wrapped his long arm around Jiang Pan and forcefully brought him to another private room. Sheng Jiu looked at the table full of meat and suspected that Shen Xiuwen was deliberately targeting her. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you can eat now. Don¡¯t waste food.¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu and said lightly, but his tone was laced with threats. ¡°Fourth Brother, I think I still prefer to eat vegetables.¡± Sheng Jiu picked up her chopsticks and picked out some side dishes to eat. Shen Xiuwen picked up a spoon and scooped a pile of meat for Sheng Jiu, obviously forcing her to eat. ¡°Fourth Brother¡­¡± Sheng Jiu frowned. ¡°Sheng Jiu, no one can reject me.¡± Shen Xiuwen interrupted Sheng Jiu directly. His voice carried a hint of threat. No one could reject him, which meant that after he had scooped something for Sheng Jiu, even if Sheng Jiu did not want to eat it, she had to. Halfway through the meal, Sheng Jiu used the excuse of going to the washroom outside to get some fresh air. When she passed by a small private room, he saw the person inside, Cheng Xinkai! There were also two young women, one of whom Sheng Jiu had met before, Bai Zhi, who had confessed to Shen Xiuwen that night. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. She didn¡¯t expect Cheng Xinkai to eat with Bai Zhi. However, before she died in her previous life, Cheng Xinkai said that his future wife must be a socialite. Could it be that he was on a blind date with Bai Zhi? ¡°Customer, please move aside. The soup is very hot. Be careful not to scald yourself.¡± The attendant brought over a bowl of soup and said softly. When the people in the private room heard the sound, they subconsciously looked up. When Bai Zhi saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s face, she stood up and walked out. Sheng Jiu saw Bai Zhi¡¯s gaze and turned to leave. ¡°Young Master Sheng Jiu!¡± Bai Zhi called out to her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Sheng Jiu could only stop and look at Bai Zhi as if he didn¡¯t know her. ¡°Sheng Jiu, don¡¯t you recognize me?¡± Bai Zhi saw that Sheng Jiu was looking at her as if she was a stranger, and she was rather displeased. Sheng Jiu was a fool. How could she be liked by Shen Xiuwen? Was it because she had a pretty face? Bai Zhi used to like Sheng Jiu¡¯s face very much. After all, her face was really good-looking, the kind that both men and women loved. However, ever since Shen Xiuwen said that he liked Sheng Jiu, Bai Zhi started to hate her and even wanted to ruin her face. ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡± Sheng Jiu ignored her on purpose. A woman like Bai Zhi was used to being the center of attention, so the hardest thing to accept was being ignored. ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t remember. Let¡¯s get to know each other again. My name is Bai Zhi.¡± Bai Zhi¡¯s arrogance was written all over her face. ¡°Oh, I remember now. You¡¯re the woman who confessed to Fourth Brother Shen previously. Fourth Brother Shen even rejected you, so you¡¯re on a blind date with someone else now?¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s expression was indifferent, but her words were very hurtful. ¡°I am not going on a blind date. It is my sister. I only like Shen Xiuwen.¡± Bai Zhi¡¯s expression darkened. Bai Zhi¡¯s younger sister was the second daughter of the Bai family, Bai Xue. She was someone whose schemes were inferior to Bai Zhi¡¯s. If Cheng Xinkai wanted to marry into the Bai family, it would be easier for him to target Bai Xue. Chapter 25 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations She had only been dead for a few days and Cheng Xinkai couldn¡¯t wait to go on a blind date? Sheng Jiu looked at Cheng Xinkai expressionlessly and turned to Bai Zhi. ¡°It¡¯s useless no matter how much you like Fourth Brother. He doesn¡¯t like you, and he said he doesn¡¯t like women.¡± In the private room, Cheng Xinkai was pouring juice for Bai Xue attentively. Then, he put on gloves and peeled prawns for her. He was considerate and gentle. Cheng Xinkai had done these things to Qiao Xi before, and Qiao Xi had fallen into his gentle trap. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you said that Shen Xiuwen doesn¡¯t like women. Do you think he¡¯ll like you just because he doesn¡¯t like women?¡± Bai Zhi hated this point. Sheng Jiu was a man, but she wasn¡¯t. Shen Xiuwen just had to like men! ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Fourth Brother¡¯s taste isn¡¯t that bad.¡± Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t hesitate to belittle herself so that Bai Zhi wouldn¡¯t target her. Women¡¯s methods of revenge were terrifying. When Shen Xiuwen had pulled her out to block the arrow, Sheng Jiu had always been unwilling. If only he could get rid of Bai Zhi¡¯s wariness of her. ¡°Of course, Shen Xiuwen¡¯s taste isn¡¯t that bad. Other than your beautiful face, what else do you have?¡± Bai Zhi said, but she was still madly jealous of Sheng Jiu¡¯s face because it was much prettier than hers! If Shen Xiuwen really liked Sheng Jiu, he also liked Sheng Jiu¡¯s face! Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t want to talk to Bai Zhi. She watched as Cheng Xinkai cut the steak for Bai Xue in the private room. His solicitous manner was really nauseating. Bai Zhi saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s unhappy expression and thought that her words had hit a sore spot. She suddenly felt much happier. ¡°Sheng Jiu, no one is perfect. Although your brain isn¡¯t good¡­¡± Without waiting for Bai Zhi to finish, Sheng Jiu turned around and took the elevator. She left quickly and heartlessly. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you idiot! How could Shen Xiuwen like you!¡± Bai Zhi was infuriated by Sheng Jiu¡¯s rude behavior. The next time she saw her, she would teach her a lesson! Bai Zhi didn¡¯t forget her sister inside. She composed herself and smiled again. Then, she sent a message and asked someone to check if Shen Xiuwen had come here to eat with Sheng Jiu. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Cheng. I met a friend and need to go over and say hello.¡± Bai Zhi walked in with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Cheng Xinkai originally wanted to ask what kind of friend it was. He didn¡¯t know if he was wrong, but he felt that there was a resentful gaze staring at him just now. He didn¡¯t know if it was Bai Zhi¡¯s friend, but when he thought about him meeting Bai Xue for the first time today, he didn¡¯t want to ruin his image in Bai Xue¡¯s heart. This Bai Xue was like Qiao Xi a very gullible fool. Thus, Cheng Xinkai relied on his face and a few little tricks to coax Bai Xue. Sheng Jiu took an iron rod to the underground garage and quickly found Cheng Xinkai¡¯s car. She had accompanied him to pick this car on Cheng Xinkai¡¯s birthday last year. At that time, he had said that the passenger seat of this car belonged to Qiao Xi alone. Now that she thought about it, the passenger seat of this car had probably been used by countless women. Sheng Jiu raised the iron rod and smashed it down. Her actions were fierce and ruthless. After smashing it, he called Jiang Pan. ¡°I smashed a car in the underground garage.¡± With that, she hung up. A moment later, Jiang Pan rushed over in a hurry. When he saw Sheng Jiu standing there, he saw that the car beside her had been smashed beyond recognition. Jiang Pan was so frightened that his legs went weak. ¡°Oh my god, ancestor, what¡¯s wrong with you now? Why are you suddenly smashing the car?¡± ¡°It was blocking my way,¡± Sheng Jiu said casually. ¡°His car was parked in the parking lot. How did it get in your way?¡± Jiang Pan was now certain that Sheng Jiu was not stupid. She was crazy! Very crazy! Sheng Jiu did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she said matter-of-factly, ¡°If I say it¡¯s blocking me, it¡¯s blocking me.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright. Now that the car has been destroyed, I¡¯ll contact the owner and we¡¯ll talk about compensation.¡± Jiang Pan had a headache. For the first time, he felt that it was a mistake to bring Sheng Jiu out. Previously, she had almost been taken advantage of at the racing club. Now, she had smashed someone¡¯s car in the underground garage. What kind of physique did Sheng Jiu have? Was she possessed by an unlucky person?! Jiang Pan did not want to bring Sheng Jiu out to play anymore. He was afraid that his heart would not be able to take it. ¡°No compensation,¡± Sheng Jiu said. ¡°The surveillance cameras¡­¡± Jiang Pan said. Chapter 26 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°No need. Wait for him to come to the Sheng family to find me.¡± Sheng Jiu was creating an opportunity for Cheng Xinkai to get to know the Sheng family. She believed that Cheng Xinkai would not miss this opportunity. This man could not wait to seize every opportunity to climb up! The Sheng family was a wealthy family that he had tried his best to cozy up to! Now, Sheng Jiu had given this opportunity to him! ¡°Sheng Jiu, what are you doing?¡± Jiang Pan really could not understand Sheng Jiu. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Send me home,¡± Sheng Jiu said. ¡°What about Fourth Master Shen? Don¡¯t you care anymore?¡± Jiang Pan was still a little afraid of Shen Xiuwen. In the past, Sheng Jiu was also afraid of Shen Xiuwen, but for some reason, she suddenly became arrogant and wasn¡¯t afraid of him anymore. ¡°I¡¯ll contact Fourth Brother Shen later.¡± Sheng Jiu got into Jiang Pan¡¯s car. Two minutes after they left, Shen Xiuwen called. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen.¡± Sheng Jiu picked up the phone without any guilt. ¡°Where are you?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s deep voice was heard. Even through the cell phone, Jiang Pan still felt a little scared when he heard his voice. ¡°I accidentally broke a car just now. I¡¯m going home to get help,¡± Sheng Jiu said half-truthfully. She did not want the Sheng family to solve the matter when she could do it herself. ¡°Sheng Jiu, can¡¯t I help you?¡± Shen Xiuwen was obviously displeased. It was just smashing a car. He, Shen Xiuwen, could not even settle such a small matter? ¡°You can help, but I don¡¯t want to trouble Fourth Brother Shen,¡± said Sheng Jiu. ¡°Since you haven¡¯t eaten with me, remember to make up for it next time.¡± Shen Xiuwen did not say anything else. This Little Fool, Sheng Jiu, did things without logic. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll treat Fourth Brother Shen to a meal next time.¡± Sheng Jiu hung up the phone with a heavy heart. ¡°Sheng Jiu, can you tell me if you know the owner of that car? Did he offend you?¡± Jiang Pan did not believe that Sheng Jiu would suddenly go crazy and smash someone else¡¯s car. Besides, there was every kind of luxurious and expensive cars in the garage. Why did it have to be that car? There must be a reason. ¡°That person scolded me for not being a man last time.¡± Jiang Pan immediately shut his mouth when he heard Sheng Jiu¡¯s excuse. He had said many times that Sheng Jiu was a sissy and not a man at all. After Shen Xiuwen hung up the phone, he asked He Sijun to bring up the surveillance video of the underground garage. In the video, Sheng Jiu was holding an iron rod. From the moment she walked out of the elevator, her eyes were filled with killing intent. She looked for the car very purposefully and stopped in front of the black Bentley. After taking a look at the license plate, she picked up the iron rod and started smashing it. Without any hesitation, she hit the car very hard. This was not accidentally smashing someone¡¯s car. It was clearly a revenge attack! How much hatred did Sheng Jiu have for the owner of the car? Did she have to smash it so hard? ¡°Sir, that car belongs to Cheng Xinkai, the President of the Cheng Corporation who just went on the market.¡± He Sijun told him the information he had found. Half an hour after Sheng Jiu returned home, Cheng Xinkai arrived. Sheng Jiu and Jiang Pan stood on the balcony on the third floor and could clearly see Cheng Xinkai driving in a white Audi. ¡°Cheng Xinkai really came.¡± Jiang Pan drank the drink in his hand and looked at Cheng Xinkai who got out of the car. ¡°Of course he¡¯s here. I¡¯ve created such a good opportunity for him to get close to the Sheng family. He¡¯s not an idiot. Of course, he¡¯ll seize this opportunity. If he misses this opportunity, there won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Sheng Jiu said calmly. Cheng Xinkai was a smart man. He would seize every opportunity. Even if there was no chance, he would create it. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you¡­¡± Jiang Pan seemed to want to say something. ¡°Let¡¯s go down and meet him.¡± Sheng Jiu turned around and walked downstairs. ¡°Little Jiu, the President of Cheng¡¯s Group is looking for you. How do you know each other?¡± Madam Sheng was about to go upstairs to call Sheng Jiu when she saw her coming down the stairs. Madam Sheng was very happy that Sheng Jiu could make more friends and integrate into society as soon as possible, but Madam Sheng didn¡¯t know much about Cheng Xinkai. Even if her baby wanted to make friends, he had to be a famous person. Not every Tom, Dick, and Harry was worthy of being friends with her daughter. ¡°We just met today. There¡¯s some misunderstanding between me and President Cheng,¡± said Sheng Jiu. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re not a friend. I don¡¯t think President Cheng is someone to befriend,¡± Madam Sheng reminded Sheng Jiu in a low voice. After all, Sheng Jiu had just come from the Buddhist temple and was very innocent. She didn¡¯t know how sinister the people in this world were. Chapter 27 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I understand, Mom,¡± Sheng Jiu agreed obediently. Cheng Xinkai was indeed not someone to befriend. He was a very evil man. ¡°But it¡¯s good for you to know more people. You need to know good people and bad people to distinguish between good and bad.¡± Madam Sheng didn¡¯t mind that Sheng Jiu knew more people. Only by meeting more people could she better distinguish between good and bad people. Anyway, no matter if Sheng Jiu met a good person or a bad person, the Sheng family could protect her. This Cheng Xinkai was obviously not a good person. As long as he did anything bad to Sheng Jiu, Madam Sheng would make him disappear from the capital. ¡°Mom is right.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. Without interacting with scum, how could she know how bad a person could be? ¡°President Cheng.¡± Sheng Jiu walked over and greeted Cheng Xinkai expressionlessly, but her gaze seemed to pierce through Cheng Xinkai. ¡°Young Master Sheng, did you ask me to come here?¡± Cheng Xinkai looked at Sheng Jiu. He did not know if he was thinking too much, but he felt that the young master of the Sheng family was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze. After knowing that his car had been smashed by Sheng Jiu, Cheng Xinkai had asked someone to investigate Sheng Jiu. There was no grudge between them, and they did not even have any interaction. He did not know why Sheng Jiu wanted to smash his car. Later, when he found out that Sheng Jiu was an abnormal fool, Cheng Xinkai felt that Sheng Jiu had acted up and smashed his car. However, this gave Cheng Xinkai an opportunity to get close to the Sheng family. After all, the Sheng family was a top-notch wealthy family in Beijing. Many people wanted to curry favor with them but could not find the opportunity. This time, he only had to sacrifice a car to get this opportunity. Cheng Xinkai felt that it was worth it. ¡°I¡¯m the one who broke your car. I¡¯ll compensate you according to the price.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s eyes were calm, and her tone was cold. ¡°Since Young Master Sheng didn¡¯t smash it on purpose, there¡¯s no need to compensate me. Just treat this car as my gift to become friends with Young Master. I wonder if I have the honor?¡± Cheng Xinkai had specially come to look for Sheng Jiu. Of course, he didn¡¯t want Sheng Jiu to compensate him for the car. He just wanted to use this opportunity to make friends with Sheng Jiu. It didn¡¯t matter if Sheng Jiu was a fool. Cheng Xinkai only cared about her status. In his mind, there was more than just marriage. He also wanted to make friends. Cheng Xinkai had even thought that since the few young ladies of the Sheng family were unmarried, he could get to know the other young ladies of the Sheng family through Sheng Jiu. Then, he would use his charm to conquer them and marry the daughter of the Sheng family. Wouldn¡¯t that make him a first-rate wealthy family? As for the young ladies of the Bai family, how could they compare to the Sheng family? ¡°I was the one who broke the car. Of course, I have to compensate. If President Cheng doesn¡¯t want the car to be compensated, you can make other requests.¡± When Sheng Jiu saw Cheng Xinkai¡¯s scheming face, she knew what he was up to. She must have been blind to fall for such a scheming man who used women to silence people for his own benefit. ¡°Young Master Sheng, if you¡¯re willing, why don¡¯t you treat me to a meal? We¡¯ll be friends from now on.¡± Cheng Xinkai took the opportunity to make a request. Since Sheng Jiu was a fool, she must be easy to coax and deceive. ¡°Alright, then President Cheng and I will be friends from now on.¡± Sheng Jiu smiled faintly and agreed to Cheng Xinkai¡¯s request. Sheng Jiu was not surprised by Cheng Xinkai¡¯s request at all. Based on her understanding of Cheng Xinkai, he would try to gain the most at the lowest cost. A car in exchange for a chance to befriend Sheng Jiu and build a relationship with the Sheng family was very cost-effective. Cheng Xinkai¡¯s purpose in coming to the Sheng family was not really to ask for compensation, but to ask Sheng Jiu to owe him a favor. He would start as an ordinary friend first, then get some benefits from Sheng Jiu. It would be best if he had a chance to get in touch with the young ladies of the Sheng family and capture their hearts so that he could become their son-in-law. ¡°Young Master Sheng, it¡¯s my honor to be friends with you. If you need me in the future, just let me know.¡± Cheng Xinkai was not too surprised that Sheng Jiu agreed to be friends with him so easily. Sheng Jiu had been in the Buddhist temple for 18 years and had been a monk for 18 years. She was not very smart and did not have many friends around her. Naturally, she agreed to his request easily. ¡°It¡¯s your first time here, isn¡¯t it, President Cheng? I¡¯ll show you around.¡± It was surprising that Sheng Jiu would take the initiative to invite Cheng Xinkai to visit the Sheng family. Even Madam Sheng was very surprised. When Shen Xiuwen came previously, he asked Sheng Jiu to show him around, but Sheng Jiu was very unwilling. Could it be that Sheng Jiu liked Cheng Xinkai, her new friend? Chapter 28 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°It will be my honor. Then, I¡¯ll have to trouble Young Master Sheng to lead the way.¡± Cheng Xinkai was overjoyed. He increasingly felt that Sheng Jiu was a fool who was easy to deceive. The backyard of the Sheng family was huge. Sheng Jiu took Cheng Xinkai to the kennel in the backyard. ¡°Woof¡­¡± As soon as Cheng Xinkai heard the bark, he stopped in his tracks. His expression was a little ugly. Sheng Jiu asked him, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, President Cheng?¡± ¡°Young Master Sheng, is there a dog in your backyard?¡± Although Cheng Xinkai pretended to be calm, his voice was trembling. Of course, Sheng Jiu knew that Cheng Xinkai was afraid of dogs, but he had always tried to maintain his image publicly, so no one knew about this. But, Sheng Jiu had once been very close to him, so she naturally knew this, which was why she deliberately brought Cheng Xinkai to the backyard. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. What¡¯s so scary about dogs?¡± Cheng Xinkai pretended to be calm. Anyway, the dogs were locked up. No matter how ferocious a big dog was, there was nothing to be afraid of if they were locked up. ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s great.¡± Cheng Xinkai didn¡¯t see the mockery in the depths of Sheng Jiu¡¯s eyes. He followed behind Sheng Jiu and continued walking. Just then, two black shadows flew over like arrows and quickly pounced on Cheng Xinkai. By the time Cheng Xinkai reacted, the two dogs were already biting the bottom of his pants. ¡°Ahhh! Don¡¯t bite me! Go away!¡± Cheng Xinkai went crazy when he saw the two big dogs biting his pants. He lost control of himself and his image. The more he struggled, the tighter the two dogs bit him. Sheng Jiu was watching the show excitedly. ¡°Young Master Sheng, make them stop. I¡­¡± Cheng Xinkai shouted. ¡°Who released the dog?¡± Sheng Jiu asked pretentiously with a cold face. No one responded. Only Jiang Pan, who was standing far away, made an OK gesture to Sheng Jiu. The dogs were released by Jiang Pan to bite Cheng Xinkai. ¡°President Cheng, didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re not afraid of dogs? My dogs are only this enthusiastic because they like you. If you hate them, I¡¯ll ask them to leave now,¡± said Sheng Jiu. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t hate¡­¡± Cheng Xinkai really couldn¡¯t bring himself to say that he was afraid of dogs, as it would greatly affect his image. When Sheng Jiu saw Cheng Xinkai¡¯s appearance, she did not have any sympathy. After the two dogs tore Cheng Xinkai¡¯s pants and scratched his hands and feet, she gestured to Jiang Pan to pull the dogs away. ¡°President Cheng, I¡¯m really sorry to have frightened you.¡± Although Jiang Pan apologized, the expression on his face did not show he was apologetic. Jiang Pan did not know that Cheng Xinkai was so afraid of dogs. When the dogs pounced on him, he collapsed to the ground. Jiang Pan raised his eyebrows at Sheng Jiu. He did not expect his silly cousin to be so good at messing with people. But how did she know that Cheng Xinkai was afraid of dogs? ¡°I, I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Cheng Xinkai quickly got up from the ground in a sorry state. He had lived for more than 20 years, but he had never been in such a sorry state. He had always been the one to teach others a lesson. How could it be anyone else¡¯s turn to teach him a lesson? He inexplicably felt that Sheng Jiu and Jiang Pan did this on purpose, but they shouldn¡¯t know that he was afraid of dogs. No one knew about this. ¡°President Cheng, you¡¯ve been scratched by a dog. You have to get a rabies vaccine. It won¡¯t be good if you get rabies. I¡¯ll send you for an injection first. The Sheng family will pay for it,¡± Sheng Jiu emphasized. ¡°Young Master Sheng, you don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯ll go myself. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Cheng Xinkai quickly ran away. ¡°How cowardly. I¡¯ve taken photos and videos.¡± Jiang Pan handed a phone to Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Thanks.¡± ¡°We¡¯re cousins. Why are you being so polite? But how do you know that Cheng Xinkai is afraid of dogs?¡± Jiang Pan was puzzled. Sometimes, Sheng Jiu seemed to know nothing, but at the same time, she seemed to know everything. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.¡± Jiang Pan nodded, thinking that Sheng Jiu had investigation Xinkai previously. He agreed and said, ¡°Yes, our Little Jiu is getting smarter and smarter.¡± ¡°Little Jiu, are you alright?¡± Madam Sheng had just heard the barking and was afraid that something would happen to Sheng Jiu. She hurried over to take a look and happened to see Cheng Xinkai get into the car in tattered clothes without even greeting her. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s President Cheng.¡± Sheng Jiu was delighted at the thought of Cheng Xinkai being bitten by dogs. This was just the beginning. She hoped that Cheng Xinkai could withstand the ¡°surprise¡± she would give him again and again in the near future. Madam Sheng was surprised. ¡°Mr. Cheng was bitten by the dogs?¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Our dog never bites a good person. Mom, you¡¯re right. President Cheng might not be a good person,¡± Sheng Jiu said calmly to Madam Sheng. Madam Sheng said, ¡°Alright, then you should stay away from him from now on.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. ¡°I know, Mom.¡± The next afternoon, Sheng Jiu made a special trip to Cheng¡¯s Group to visit Cheng Xinkai in person to show her sincerity as a friend. Sheng Jiu stood in front of the Cheng Corporation building and looked at the place where she had spent five years of her youth. The hatred in her heart deepened, and she wished he could blow this place up. Sooner or later, Sheng Jiu would take it back herself. She would not leave anything that belonged to her to that scumbag Cheng Xinkai! ¡°Handsome, who are you looking for in the Cheng Corporation? Is there anything I can help you with?¡± A shy voice sounded in Sheng Jiu¡¯s ear. She turned around and saw a young woman greeting her with a smile. She was an old acquaintance. ¡°I¡¯m looking for your president, Cheng Xinkai,¡± Sheng Jiu replied. ¡°You¡¯re looking for my brother? Are you my brother¡¯s friend? Why haven¡¯t I seen you before? My name is Cheng Nuan, and I happen to be looking for my brother as well. Come, I¡¯ll take you in,¡± Cheng Nuan introduced herself excitedly. Cheng Nuan basically knew all of Cheng Xinkai¡¯s friends, especially good-looking young talents, but she had never seen such a handsome man before. She was probably her brother¡¯s new friend. Cheng Nuan was obsessed with looks and liked all good-looking men. Young Master Sheng Jiu¡¯s face just happened to fit her taste. Her brother had made such a handsome friend, so why didn¡¯t he introduce her to her? If she hadn¡¯t come to the company today, she would have missed out on such a good-looking man! Since she was her brother¡¯s friend, wouldn¡¯t she be able to take advantage of thid favorable position? ¡°Thank you.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all. I¡¯m happy to serve you. By the way, what¡¯s your name?¡± Cheng Nuan¡¯s eyes never left Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. The word ¡°like¡± was written all over her face. ¡°Sheng Jiu.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was cold. This Cheng Nuan used to look down on her in all sorts of ways, always bullying her openly and secretly. She did not expect to change into a body that attracted Cheng Nuan. ¡°Sheng Jiu, that¡¯s a nice name.¡± Cheng Nuan didn¡¯t think that Sheng Jiu¡¯s attitude was cold. She just thought that handsome men should be kept at arm¡¯s length. That was the only way to attract people. The more difficult a man was, the more one would want to conquer him. Sheng Jiu followed Cheng Nuan to Cheng Xinkai¡¯s office. However, when they reached the door of the president¡¯s office, Sheng Jiu was a little dazed when she saw the locked assistant office; it was her old office. ¡°Young Master Sheng Jiu, what are you looking at?¡± Cheng Nuan followed her gaze and saw the office that Qiao Xi used in the past. After Qiao Xi died, this office was temporarily locked. Every time Cheng Nuan came over, she felt unlucky. She hated that stupid woman, Qiao Xi. It was better if she died. ¡°Bad luck!¡± Cheng Nuan cursed under her breath. ¡°What did you say?¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s voice turned cold. ¡°Sheng Jiu, the locked office was used by my brother¡¯s former assistant, a woman with bad luck all over her body. However, a fire broke out at her home some time ago and everyone was burned to death. Perhaps God couldn¡¯t stand it and killed her.¡± Cheng Nuan pouted. ¡°Cheng Nuan, shut up!¡± Cheng Xinkai opened the door and came out. He scolded Cheng Nuan with a cold expression. ¡°I said not to mention her again.¡± Cheng Xinkai¡¯s gaze was rather terrifying. When Qiao Xi died in front of him, Cheng Xinkai would never forget that painful and resentful gaze, so he didn¡¯t want anyone to mention Qiao Xi¡¯s name again. ¡°Got it, Brother. I was just casually telling Sheng Jiu,¡± Cheng Nuan said coquettishly. ¡°Young Master Sheng, I¡¯ve embarrassed myself. Why are you here?¡± Cheng Xinkai asked Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu regained her expressionless face. Her gaze shifted from Qiao Xi¡¯s office to Cheng Xinkai¡¯s face. The calmness in her eyes immediately turned sharp, cutting Cheng Xinkai¡¯s face bit by bit. ¡°Wasn¡¯t President Cheng injured at our house yesterday? I¡¯m here to see if President Cheng is feeling better,¡± Sheng Jiu said casually. ¡°Young Master Sheng is so considerate. There is no need to trouble Young Master Sheng to come over personally. Come, come in and have a seat.¡± Cheng Xinkai immediately welcomed her with a smile. Since Sheng Jiu had come to see her friend personally, it meant that she valued him very much. Chapter 30 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡®Sure enough, my plan is right,¡¯ Cheng Xinkai thought. It was just a car, but he had gotten a friend, Sheng Jiu, and a big backer like the Sheng family. As long as he could build a good relationship with Sheng Jiu, this Little Fool, it would pave the way for his future. Many people had tried all kinds of methods to climb up the Sheng family¡¯s social ladder, but he had done it with a car. It was too worth it. ¡°If President Cheng is fine, I can rest assured,¡± Sheng Jiu said lightly. He had no intention of going inside Cheng Kai¡¯s office. ¡°Young Master Sheng, I¡¯ve troubled you to make this trip. It¡¯s almost noon. Why don¡¯t I treat you to a meal>¡± Cheng Xinkai saw that Sheng Jiu did not want to enter his office, so he did not force her. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°I should be the one treating President Cheng to a meal. We agreed on this yesterday.¡± ¡°Me too, Sheng Jiu. Take me with you.¡± Cheng Nuan quickly tried to make her presence known. She really liked Sheng Jiu¡¯s appearance. She had to think of a way to get him! It did not matter if Sheng Jiu was stupid. After becoming the young mistress of the Sheng family, she would have everything she wanted in the future. ¡°President Cheng, are you planning to keep this assistant¡¯s office locked?¡± Sheng Jiu wanted to know how Cheng Xinkai would deal with her office. This was also her purpose for coming today. There were many files in her office which she could still use. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to clean up the things inside after a while. It¡¯s a waste to leave the office empty.¡± Cheng Xinkai hadn¡¯t thought of how to deal with it. Although he didn¡¯t like Qiao Xi, she had really helped him a lot, so he didn¡¯t clean up her office immediately. ¡°She¡¯s already dead. Of course, we have to clean up this unlucky place as soon as possible and find a master to perform the ritual¡­¡± Cheng Nuan said. ¡°Cheng Nuan, don¡¯t say such things in front of the young master,¡± Cheng Xinkai scolded her coldly. Cheng Nuan¡¯s mouth was too unpleasant. ¡°I know. I¡¯m sorry, Sheng Jiu. I¡¯m a straightforward person. I¡¯ll express my feelings directly, just like how I like you. I want to be with you,¡± Cheng Nuan confessed to Sheng Jiu. ¡°Cheng Nuan, shut up! Don¡¯t talk nonsense in front of Young Master Sheng! Young Master Sheng, don¡¯t listen to Cheng Nuan¡¯s nonsense.¡± Cheng Xinkai didn¡¯t want Cheng Nuan to scare Sheng Jiu away. This was a relationship he had worked hard to build. ¡°President Cheng, I think you¡¯re a loyal boss. From what Cheng Nuan said, Miss Qiao Xi has helped you a lot and can be considered a contributor to the Cheng Corporation. It¡¯s not too much to keep her office.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was very light, and his eyes were cold. Sheng Jiu wanted Cheng Xinkai to keep Qiao Xi¡¯s office so that she would have the chance to look for her things inside. After all, the Qiao family¡¯s villa had been burned down by Cheng Xinkai, and everything inside was gone. ¡°Young Master Sheng is right. I think so too. Qiao Xi has been my assistant for many years and has helped me many times. Not only has she contributed, but she has also worked hard. The Cheng Corporation has today¡¯s achievements because of her. This office will always be kept for her.¡± Cheng Xinkai agreed to Sheng Jiu¡¯s agreement verbally, but he thought to himself that this Little Fool was really magnanimous. Who did she think she was? She even tried to interfere in his company¡¯s matters. Once Sheng Jiu left, he would get someone to tear down Qiao Xi¡¯s office. ¡°President Cheng is indeed a loyal person. He¡¯s a worthy friend. I hope that this office will still be here when I come over next time.¡± How could Sheng Jiu not know what Cheng Xinkai was thinking? He would say one thing in front of her and another behind her back. Once she left, he would get someone to tear down the office. Therefore, Sheng Jiu had to emphasize that she wanted to put a high hat on President Cheng so that he would not dare to touch that office. ¡°Young Master Sheng, don¡¯t worry. As long as the Cheng Corporation is around, Qiao Xi¡¯s office will always be there.¡± Cheng Xinkai didn¡¯t expect Sheng Jiu to be such a busybody. If he didn¡¯t know that Qiao Xi had never interacted with Sheng Jiu before, he would have suspected that there was something going on between Sheng Jiu and Qiao Xi. Otherwise, why would she ask to keep Qiao Xi¡¯s office? However, he didn¡¯t mind keeping it. After all, this office didn¡¯t matter. ¡°President Cheng, I¡¯ll see you at Thousand Relations cafeteria later,¡± After Sheng Jiu said that, she was prepared to leave. ¡°Young Master Sheng, do you like to go to this cafeteria?¡± Cheng Xinkai¡¯s expression was a little ugly. It was obvious that he did not want to go to this cafeteria to eat. ¡°I like the food in this cafeteria. President Cheng, don¡¯t you like it?¡± Sheng Jiu narrowed his eyes. Of course, Cheng Xinkai didn¡¯t want to go to Thousand Relations cafeteria because this was the cafeteria where he had pursued Qiao Xi back then and asked her out for a meal for the first time. To Cheng Xinkai, this cafeteria was his nightmare. Chapter 31 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°No, see you later, Young Master Sheng.¡± Cheng Xinkai shook his head. ¡°Sheng Jiu, can I take your car? I want to go with you.¡± Cheng Nuan quickly made a request. She would not let go of any chance to get close to Sheng Jiu. ¡°It¡¯s inconvenient.¡± Sheng Jiu refused bluntly. ¡°Young Master Sheng, we will meet at the cafeteria later.¡± Cheng Xinkai quickly pulled Cheng Nuan back. No matter how much this girl liked Sheng Jiu, she couldn¡¯t take the initiative to approach him like this. Doing so would disgust her. Sheng Jiu entered the elevator and left without hesitation. ¡°Brother, why are you holding me back? I like Sheng Jiu. It¡¯s such a good opportunity to get along¡­¡± Cheng Nuan complained. ¡°Nuannuan, you¡¯ve just met Sheng Jiu. As a girl, you have to be more reserved. If you take the initiative like this, you¡¯ll only scare Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu is timid. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to climb up the Sheng family¡¯s social ladder. Don¡¯t mess it up for me,¡± Cheng Xinkai warned Cheng Nuan coldly. Cheng Nuan was usually playful, but when it came to Sheng Jiu, Cheng Xinkai would never allow her to mess around. ¡°Brother, Sheng Jiu, he¡­¡± Cheng Nuan did not know much about Sheng Jiu¡¯s background. She simply liked her appearance. ¡°He¡¯s the young master of the Sheng family, one of the top wealthy families in Beijing.¡± Cheng Xinkai introduced the situation of the Sheng family. Some people really knew how to reincarnate. They were born into the top wealthy families. Even if they were a fool, everyone wanted to please them. ¡°Brother, if that¡¯s the case, you have to help me woo Sheng Jiu. If I take down the young master of the Sheng family and become the young lady of the Sheng family in the future, our Cheng family will soar into the sky.¡± Although Cheng Nuan was making a fuss, she was still somewhat scheming and shrewd. The Cheng family seemed to have evil in their blood, and no one was kind. ¡°Nuannuan, are you serious? This Young Master Sheng might not be able to get the inheritance.¡± Cheng Xinkai also hoped that Cheng Nuan could marry into the Sheng family and stabilize the Cheng family¡¯s status. However, Sheng Jiu was not smart and could not get the inheritance of the Sheng family. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if he can get the inheritance. Anyway, Sheng Jiu is favored. What good things can¡¯t he get?¡± Cheng Nuan was very open-minded. ¡°You have a point.¡± Cheng Xinkai nodded. In the Thousand Relations cafeteria, Sheng Jiu sat by the window and quietly looked at the scenery outside. ¡°Young Master Sheng, I¡¯m sorry. We were a little late. I handled a document at the last minute.¡± Cheng Xinkai quickly came over to apologize. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ve already ordered. Mr. Cheng and Miss Cheng don¡¯t mind, right?¡± Sheng Jiu asked. Cheng Xinkai: ¡°Of course not.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind. I¡¯m not a picky eater, and I¡¯m easy to feed. Sheng Jiu, I like what you like to eat.¡± Cheng Nuan tried to please her. Sheng Jiu responded indifferently. Cheng Nuan was a very picky woman. In the past, she had caused Qiao Xi a lot of trouble by nitpicking everything. It seemed like she would even quarrel with a straw. Now, she was pretending to be obedient and sensible in front of Sheng Jiu. ¡°The dishes are here.¡± Sheng Jiu raised his head and gestured. When Cheng Xinkai turned around and saw the trays of seafood brought by the attendant, his expression was very ugly. He didn¡¯t eat seafood because his stomach couldn¡¯t digest it. Every time he ate it, he would have a stomachache. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, President Cheng? Don¡¯t you like the dishes I ordered?¡± Seeing Cheng Xinkai¡¯s troubled and angry expression, Sheng Jiu felt a little happy. Cheng Xinkai: ¡°No, it¡¯s pretty good.¡± Cheng Nuan: ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Cheng Nuan, let¡¯s eat. Don¡¯t talk.¡± Cheng Xinkai interrupted Cheng Nuan and started eating. The table was full of seafood, and Cheng Xinkai tried to eat as slowly as possible. However, halfway through, Cheng Xinkai received a call. ¡°Young Master Sheng, there¡¯s an urgent matter in the company that I need to deal with. I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time,¡± Cheng Xinkai said to Sheng Jiu apologetically. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Work is more important. See you next time.¡± Cheng Xinkai: ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get going then.¡± When Sheng Jiu saw Cheng Xinkai leave in a hurry, he felt very happy. This call was a life-saving call for Cheng Xinkai, but Sheng Jiu did not mind him leaving halfway. ¡°Sheng Jiu, my brother has something to do, so he has to go, but I¡¯ll continue eating with you.¡± Cheng Nuan was more than happy to see Cheng Xinkai leave. This way, she could have dinner alone with Sheng Jiu. It was easier to improve their relationship by eating with just each other. ¡°Miss Cheng, eat slowly. I¡¯m full.¡± Sheng Jiu put down her chopsticks expressionlessly. She was not in the mood to deal with Cheng Nuan. There was a little soup on Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. Seeing this, Cheng Nuan immediately took a tissue and tried to wipe it for her. However, Sheng Jiu reacted quickly and avoided Cheng Nuannuan¡¯s hand. Chapter 32 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Cheng Nuan explained, ¡°Sheng Jiu, there¡¯s soup on your face. Let me help you wipe it.¡± ¡°Miss Cheng, I can do it myself.¡± Sheng Jiu took a tissue and wiped her face. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the two people not far away. ¡°Fourth Master, isn¡¯t that the Little Fool Sheng Jiu?¡± He Sijun pointed at Sheng Jiu. Shen Xiuwen¡¯s cold gaze landed on Sheng Jiu. He had seen Sheng Jiu when she entered the cafeteria just now. However, the table they were sitting at was blocked by green plants, so Sheng Jiu couldn¡¯t see them. ¡°Fourth Master, Little Fool Sheng Jiu is quite popular with women. Is he looking for a girlfriend? I really can¡¯t help but envy him. Why do women keep throwing themselves at him?¡± He Sijun admitted that he was a little envious of Sheng Jiu. ¡°If you¡¯re envious, take that woman away.¡± Shen Xiuwen could not bear to see Sheng Jiu being deceived by that woman. That woman was obviously tricking Sheng Jiu. Only Sheng Jiu herself could not tell. ¡°That woman is obviously not my type.¡± He Sijun shook his head. The girls he picked up were all sexy girls with slender waists and long legs. Shen Xiuwen replied, ¡°She is also not Sheng Jiu¡¯s type.¡± ¡°Sheng Jiu, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. I just want to help you wipe your mouth.¡± Cheng Nuan saw that her intimate gesture was rejected by Sheng Jiu, so she took the opportunity to wheedle at him. How many men could resist a woman¡¯s coquettishness? Cheng Nuan was an expert at being coquettish, but she had met not an ordinary ¡®man¡¯ today, so Sheng Jiu would not fall for her tricks. ¡°No need, I can wipe it myself,¡± Sheng Jiu said coldly without any gentleness. ¡°Sheng Jiu, don¡¯t be so cold¡­ I really like you.¡± Cheng Nuan leaned towards Sheng Jiu. Was Sheng Jiu really a fool? She had made it so obvious. Shouldn¡¯t he hug her and coax her? Then take the opportunity to touch her? She was very willing to be touched by Sheng Jiu. ¡°There are many people who like Sheng Jiu. Who do you think you are?¡± At this moment, a gloomy voice sounded from behind Sheng Jiu. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen.¡± Sheng Jiu turned around and met Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes. She felt her scalp go numb. How could she be so fated to meet Shen Xiuwen here? ¡°Sheng Jiu, you don¡¯t have time to treat me to a meal, but you have time to accompany a woman here?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s cold eyes looked at Sheng Jiu quietly. ¡°Fourth Brother, I didn¡¯t.¡± After saying that, Sheng Jiu realized why he had to explain to Shen Xiuwen that it was her freedom and power to accompany anyone to dinner. When Cheng Nuan first laid eyes on Shen Xiuwen, her first thought was that he was very handsome. He was stunningly handsome, with a body and face that were even more perfect than a model¡¯s. Her second thought was that he was so scary. This man¡¯s gaze was so fierce that it could eat people alive. Cheng Nuan: ¡°Sheng Jiu, this is¡­¡± ¡°His fourth brother.¡± Shen Xiuwen introduced himself directly. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take Sheng Jiu away.¡± The way Shen Xiuwen looked at Cheng Nuan was really unfriendly, as if he could kill her with his gaze in the next second. Shen Xiuwen was unfriendly to all the women who got close to Sheng Jiu. Didn¡¯t Chu Ling¡¯er make Sheng Jiu suffer enough? Now there was another one. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. You and Sheng Jiu can leave first.¡± Cheng Nuan didn¡¯t dare to say no. She felt that if she did, this man would kill her. ¡°Sheng Jiu, come here,¡± Shen Xiuwen said indifferently. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Miss Cheng, you can eat by yourself.¡± Cheng Nuan quickly nodded. ¡°Okay, Sheng Jiu, let¡¯s contact each other on WeChat.¡± Sheng Jiu ignored her and followed Shen Xiuwen to their table. ¡°Sheng Jiu, is she your new woman? That woman doesn¡¯t look simple. Don¡¯t be deceived again.¡± As soon as they sat down, He Sijun asked curiously. ¡°No.¡± Sheng Jiu frowned. He Sijun was really nosy. ¡°Then what kind of woman do you like? I can introduce someone to you. The women I introduce are all passable, so it won¡¯t be like what Chu Ling¡¯er did last time. Otherwise, if you¡¯re swallowed by a woman one day, you won¡¯t even know when you¡¯ll be a happy father,¡± He Sijun said. ¡°He Sijun, don¡¯t push some random women to Sheng Jiu. None of the women around you are suitable for him.¡± Shen Xiuwen immediately dismissed He Sijun¡¯s idea. He Sijun said, ¡°Fourth Master, can I introduce bad women to Sheng Jiu? The women I introduced to him must be beautiful and kind.¡± Chapter 33 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you in a hurry to find a girlfriend?¡± Shen Xiuwen looked at Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to. I¡¯m not in a hurry at all.¡± She was a woman. She only liked men! ¡°Then let¡¯s eat.¡± Shen Xiuwen asked the attendant to bring a new set of cutlery for Sheng Jiu. When Sheng Jiu ate with Cheng Xinkai and his sister, she only pretended to eat a few mouthfuls, so she was still hungry. Now that she was eating with Shen Xiuwen and He Sijun, although she was a little reluctant, she still ate a lot. ¡°You¡¯re so thin and weak. You should eat more.¡± Shen Xiuwen found Sheng Jiu adorable afte seeing how she ate like a little hamster. ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯ve already eaten a lot. I¡¯m full.¡± Sheng Jiu put down her chopsticks and was about to pour some water for herself. At the side, Shen Xiuwen noticed what she was going to do. Then, their hands touched the kettle at the same time. Sheng Jiu subconsciously wanted to avoid it. She waved her hand and touched the soup bowl beside her. The soup bowl fell and the soup inside spilled on Shen Xiuwen. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Fourth Brother. Are you scalded?¡± Sheng Jiu was terrified. She did not expect to spill the soup on Shen Xiuwen. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The soup is already cold. It¡¯s just that my clothes are dirty.¡± Shen Xiuwen was a clean freak and cared a lot about his clothes being dirty. Sheng Jiu knew that Shen Xiuwen had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Now that his white shirt was stained with soup, he must be feeling terrible. When he thought about how he had taken off his clothes after getting mud on him at the racing club last time, Sheng Jiu was afraid that Shen Xiuwen would do it again. ¡°Fourth Brother, don¡¯t take off your clothes yet. This is a public place. There are too many people.¡± Sheng Jiu took the initiative to stop Shen Xiuwen from taking off his clothes. ¡°Sheng Jiu, do I look like a pervert in your eyes?¡± Shen Xiuwen frowned in displeasure at Sheng Jiu¡¯s words. ¡°No, no. How could Fourth Brother be a pervert?¡± Sheng Jiu quickly shook her head in denial. Although Shen Xiuwen had already taken off his clothes two or three times in front of her, Sheng Jiu was determined not to say that he was a pervert. ¡°Fourth Brother, there¡¯s a mall downstairs. I¡¯ll take you to buy clothes. Coincidentally, I can also compensate you for the shirt from last time and the clothes from the hotel.¡± Sheng Jiu quickly found an excuse to get up. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Shen Xiuwen also got up and strode toward the elevator. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you¡¯re really amazing. You can make Fourth Master so angry. Do you know where the person who made Fourth Master angry last time was?¡± He Sijun watched the entire process. Sheng Jiu was considered impressive. She had jumped on the edge of Shen Xiuwen¡¯s anger a few times. But not only was she fine, but she had also extinguished Fourth Master¡¯s anger. This was the first time he had seen this happened. ¡°In hell?¡± Sheng Jiu asked. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re going to hell. The next time you make Fourth Master angry, you might go to hell too.¡± He Sijun didn¡¯t know what to say when he saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s silly look. Perhaps this was what it meant to be a fool. ¡°I¡¯ve already been there and come back,¡± Sheng Jiu said and strode forward. She had already died once, so what was there to be afraid of? ¡°What a fool. How bold.¡± He Sijun felt that Sheng Jiu was talking nonsense. After the three of them entered the elevator, two middle school students who were fooling around also walked in. The boy accidentally bumped into Sheng Jiu, and Sheng Jiu¡¯s arm hit the elevator wall. It hurt so much that she subconsciously took a step back and bumped into Shen Xiuwen¡¯s chest. Fourth Master Shen, who was obsessed with cleanliness, did not like to have intimate contact with others. The moment Sheng Jiu bumped into Shen Xiuwen, Shen Xiuwen instinctively wanted to push her away. However, when he heard Sheng Jiu hissed in pain, he wrapped his long arms around Sheng Jiu and shielded her behind his back. ¡°You bumped into someone. Don¡¯t you know how to apologize?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s voice was cold and harsh, and the temperature in the elevator dropped several degrees. The two middle school students who were fooling around were shocked. The little girl glanced at Shen Xiuwen. At first glance, she thought he was handsome, but the next second, she hid behind the boy in fear. This man¡¯s gaze was too scary. It was as if he wanted to eat her up. ¡°Uncle, just say what you want to say. Why are you shouting so loudly? You¡¯re scaring my girlfriend.¡± The boy was also frightened by Shen Xiuwen¡¯s sharp gaze, but in order to show his bravery in front of his girlfriend, he mustered his courage and spoke to Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Little handsome guy, you were the one who bumped into our people first. My brother¡¯s hand is hurt because of you. If you don¡¯t apologize properly, are you being reasonable here?¡± He Sijun stared at the boy with a smile. He was clearly smiling, but his words sound like threats. Chapter 34 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The boy was so scared that his legs went weak. He just wanted to get out of the elevator as soon as possible. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you get out of the elevator. You¡¯re a student from Yizhong, right? You¡¯re already dating at this age. If I report you to the school, what will the school do to you?¡± He Sijun glanced at the boy¡¯s uniform and knew which school they were from. He Sijun noticed the boy¡¯s intention and knew what he was planning. He wanted to escape as soon as the elevator opened. When the boy heard He Sijun¡¯s words, he immediately cowered. ¡°Uncle, we are wrong.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s your uncle? Am I that old?¡± He Sijun was furious. He was not even 30 years old, but he was already called an uncle! ¡°Apologize to him.¡± Shen Xiuwen pushed Sheng Jiu out from behind him. Sheng Jiu did not expect Shen Xiuwen to protect her and even seek justice for her. The boy quickly apologized to Sheng Jiu. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, little brother. I shouldn¡¯t have bumped into you.¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome.¡± The girl was instantly captivated when she saw Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. Wasn¡¯t this the most popular puppy look nowadays? Her face was simply carved out of jade. Every part of her face was just right and perfect. If this person debuted as an idol, no idol could be her match! She had a top-notch appearance! ¡°No matter how handsome he is, he¡¯s not yours. Your boyfriend is beside you.¡± He Sijun was already used to seeing infatuated expressions when Sheng Jiu was beside him. Sheng Jiu¡¯s face was just too attractive. No wonder Chu Ling¡¯er was willing to use force in order to sleep with her. ¡°He¡¯s not my boyfriend. I haven¡¯t agreed to be his girlfriend yet.¡± The girl pouted. Her eyes never left Sheng Jiu¡¯s face. Her exquisite facial features and cold white skin. If only she could date this ¡®little brother¡¯, she was willing to just talk to her for the whole day. ¡°He Sijun, call the principal of No.1 High School and remind him to clean up the school¡¯s atmosphere.¡± As soon as the elevator opened, Shen Xiuwen grabbed Sheng Jiu¡¯s arm and walked out, not giving the girl another chance to look at her. ¡°Fourth Brother, slow down.¡± Sheng Jiu almost fell. ¡°Slow down? You still want to leave a contact number with a female student?¡± Shen Xiuwen said with a dark expression. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°No, you¡¯re walking too fast. I can¡¯t keep up.¡± ¡°It seems like lunch is wasted.¡± Shen Xiuwen let go of Sheng Jiu¡¯s arm and walked to the brand store next door. Sheng Jiu glared at Shen Xiuwen¡¯s long legs and stomped her feet in anger. So what if his legs were long? When He Sijun came over after teaching the two middle school students a lesson, he saw Sheng Jiu standing there with a belly full of resentment. If the resentment had color, the area within a five-kilometer radius would have been dyed. ¡°Sheng Jiu, why are you standing here? Has Fourth Master abandoned you? Is that why you¡¯re so angry?¡± He Sijun came over and patted Sheng Jiu¡¯s shoulder. He didn¡¯t dare to use too much strength, afraid that he would accidentally shatter Sheng Jiu. She was a big ¡®man¡¯, but he looked so weak. It was hard to believe that she was just a vegetarian and didn¡¯t eat meat. ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything to them, did you?¡± Sheng Jiu restrained her anger and asked about the two students. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just taught them a lesson and then let them go. Fourth Master isn¡¯t really that bad to report him. What a beautiful and blissful thing it is to fall in love at such a young age. We won¡¯t even have the chance to have such an experience anymore.¡± He Sijun sighed at his long-lost puppy love. ¡°He Sijun, how old were you when you learned about this?¡± Sheng Jiu suddenly asked curiously. ¡°Then, what is your definition of puppy love? Hugging, kissing, holding hands, or¡­¡± He Sijun raised his eyebrows and looked at Sheng Jiu. He reckoned that Sheng Jiu, who had been a monk for eighteen years, could not understand what he had not said. ¡°Kissing,¡± Sheng Jiu answered after some thought. ¡°Then it should be in kindergarten. I was the most handsome boy in our class. Many girls liked me and thought of all kinds of ways to kiss me every day.¡± He Sijun rubbed his chin and looked narcissistic. Sheng Jiu rolled her eyes at He Sijun and walked forward without saying anything. ¡°Hey, Sheng Jiu, what do you mean by that? Are you envious? I¡¯ve had a girlfriend since kindergarten, while you¡¯ve been in the Buddhist temple for 18 years. Are all the wild birds around you male?¡± Seeing that Sheng Jiu had left, He Sijun quickly chased after her and tried to grab her shoulder, but Sheng Jiu naturally lowered his body and escaped from He Sijun¡¯s grasp. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sheng Jiu? Do you also not like physical contact like Fourth Master?¡± He Sijun was a little unhappy that Sheng Jiu avoided his arm. Chapter 35 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations He Sijun had already accepted the Little Fool. There were many people in the city who wanted to please him and put their arms around his shoulders, but He Sijun was very principled. If they were not his brothers, they could not even touch a finger of his. Shen Xiuwen did not like to put his arms around his shoulders because he was very obsessed with cleanliness. Why would the little fool, Sheng Jiu, not allow him to touch her as well? ¡°I¡¯m used to it in the Buddhist temple.¡± Sheng Jiu casually made up an excuse. In any case, if there was anything that needed to be explained in the future, she would push the blame to the Buddhist temple. That was quite good. ¡°Being a monk is really hard.¡± He Sijun couldn¡¯t help but sigh. It was fine if it banned alcohol, meat, and women, but it made a person so desireless that they couldn¡¯t even be touched. How did Sheng Jiu stay in the Buddhist temple for eighteen years? When Sheng Jiu entered the brand store, he saw Shen Xiuwen sitting on the black sofa with his long legs crossed. His dark gaze was fixed on her, giving her an inexplicable feeling of being stared at by a wild beast. It made her feel uncomfortable. The moment Sheng Jiu saw Shen Xiuwen, she knew that this man¡¯s eyes were as sharp as knives. All her thoughts could not be hidden from him. ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯m here.¡± Sheng Jiu swallowed hard and avoided Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze. She pretended to be relaxed and walked over. ¡°I thought you were brave enough to stand me up again.¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu indifferently. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Fourth Brother, what if I really stand you up?¡± Shen Xiuwen said, ¡°Then I will catch you and break your legs. Then, you have to compensate me with a few more sets of clothes.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s calves trembled. She completely believed Shen Xiuwen¡¯s words. This man was a man of his word. If she really dared to stand him up, Shen Xiuwen would really dare to capture her and break her legs. ¡°President Shen, this is the latest design for this season. Please take a look.¡± Shen Xiuwen took a few products and placed them in front of him. Shen Xiuwen was used to custom-made clothes from several brands and would occasionally look at the new designs. Every time before the new designs went on the market, the person in charge of the brand would personally bring the illustrations to Shen Xiuwen for him to take a look. After choosing the style and color, he would get someone to send them to Shen Xiuwen¡¯s villa. So usually, Shen Xiuwen would not personally come to the shop to choose. Thus, the manager did not expect Shen Xiuwen to come personally today, which greatly shocked him. ¡°Sheng Jiu, you choose.¡± Shen Xiuwen let Sheng Jiu choose. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡­¡± Shen Xiuwen asked, ¡°Why? You don¡¯t understand?¡± Sheng Jiu replied, ¡°I understand.¡± She tried her best to suppress her anger. She wanted to roll her eyes at Shen Xiuwen. Who wouldn¡¯t understand? Although she had stayed in the Buddhist temple for 18 years, the original owner had learned everything she needed to learn. ¡°Then sit down and help me choose,¡± Shen Xiuwen ordered. ¡°There are ready-made clothes on display in the shop. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to just pick one to try on?¡± Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t like to look at the picture book to choose clothes. Since he was already in the shop, he could just try on whichever one he liked. If it was suitable, he would buy it. ¡°Sheng Jiu, I called you a Little Fool, but you¡¯re really a Little Fool. Our Fourth Master never tries on clothes outside. Who knows if someone else has tried it on?¡± He Sijun knew Shen Xiuwen¡¯s habits, but Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t. Sheng Jiu was stunned for a moment. She had almost forgotten that Shen Xiuwen was very obsessed with cleanliness. How could he wear clothes that had been tried on by others? ¡°But if we don¡¯t give it a try, how will we know if it¡¯s the right size?¡± Sheng Jiu found a way out for himself. ¡°Little Fool, you don¡¯t have to worry about that. This brand¡¯s designers all know our Fourth Master¡¯s size. As long as Fourth Master chooses a style, they will change it to a size that suits Fourth Master. Besides, our Fourth Master has the figure of a standard model. It¡¯s very difficult for him to look bad in clothes.¡± He Sijun did not forget to praise Shen Xiuwen¡¯s perfect figure. If Fourth Master were to become a model with his figure, he would probably become the world¡¯s top male model. ¡°Yes.¡± Sheng Jiu agreed with He Sijun¡¯s words. Putting everything else aside, Shen Xiuwen had a really good figure. ¡°Sheng Jiu, haven¡¯t you always been envious of Fourth Master¡¯s figure? You can practice with Fourth Master in the future. However, with this white chicken¡¯s figure of yours, you won¡¯t be able to achieve anything no matter how much you practice. You¡¯ve lost eighteen years of nutrition. Even if you try your best, you won¡¯t be able to make up for it. Fortunately, you have a beautiful face. Although you¡¯re thin and weak, you don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to find a wife in the future.¡± He Sijun¡¯s evaluation of Sheng Jiu was both positive and negative. As a man, Sheng Jiu¡¯s height of 1.7 meters was her Achilles¡¯ heel. With her height, she was a dwarf in front of them. Chapter 36 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was indifferent. She was a woman, so why would she marry a wife? Moreover, with her height, she was considered tall among women. ¡°Little fool, you¡¯re heartless. I¡¯m concerned about you, but you don¡¯t appreciate it. If you can¡¯t get a wife in the future, I¡¯ll help you find one.¡± He Sijun stared at Sheng Jiu¡¯s fair and tender face and couldn¡¯t help but want to pinch it. However, he pulled away by Sheng Jiu with one hand. Not only did He Sijun not pinch Sheng Jiu¡¯s face, but he also received a cold glare from Shen Xiuwen. Shen Xiuwen said, ¡°Sheng Jiu is still young, so he¡¯s not in a hurry to get married. You should hurry up. I¡¯ll get Uncle He to arrange a blind date for you.¡± He Sijun wailed, ¡°Fourth Master, no!¡± He Sijun was releasing wild shrieks and howls outside while Sheng Jiu was dragged into the VIP area by Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Fourth Brother, is He Sijun alright?¡± Hearing He Sijun¡¯s crazy howling, Sheng Jiu was a little worried that he would really go crazy. ¡°Ignore him. Aren¡¯t you going to pick out clothes for me? Go ahead.¡± Shen Xiuwen was not in the mood to care about He Sijun. ¡°I¡¯ll pick. I¡¯ll pick three sets of clothes for Fourth Brother. These are what I want to compensate you with.¡± Sheng Jiu quickly went to the display rack to pick out clothes. ¡°I don¡¯t mind if you want to give me a few more sets.¡± Shen Xiuwen sat on the single-seater sofa, his clear gaze landing on Sheng Jiu¡¯s straight and thin back. Sheng Jiu was wearing a white shirt today, and her waistline was slightly constricted, so her entire waistline could be seen clearly. She was even thinner than a woman. He reckoned that only Sheng Jiu had a figure like this. ¡°Fourth Brother, I suspect that you¡¯re extorting me.¡± Sheng Jiu glanced at the clothes. Every piece was well-made and well-designed. It was obvious that they were made by a master. Such clothes were naturally expensive. Shen Xiuwen¡¯s clothes, even a tie, cost more than five digits, not to mention a complete set of clothes. They were all from high-end brands or luxury collections. Any one of them cost seven digits. He even asked her to give him a few more sets. If she gave him a few more sets, she would go bankrupt! Although Sheng Jiu did not lack money to spend, she did not want to give them to Shen Xiuwen just like that. After all, she was not his. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. I¡¯m extorting money from you. Isn¡¯t it reasonable to pay 10 pieces of clothing for every piece of clothing you messed up? I¡¯ve never done business at a loss,¡± Shen Xiuwen said matter-of-factly. Sheng Jiu did not say anything else. If she negotiated with a profiteer, she would lose more and more. She might as well choose his clothes obediently. ¡°Sheng Jiu, why are you so close to Cheng Xinkai?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked faintly. Shen Xiuwen had asked someone to check Cheng Xinkai¡¯s information. Sheng Jiu and Cheng Xinkai had never interacted before. Sheng Jiu had smashed Cheng Xinkai¡¯s car, and that was the first time Sheng Jiu had touched Cheng Xinkai¡¯s things. No one knew what grudge she had with Cheng Xinkai, but one thing was for sure. Cheng Xinkai was a scumbag. The Cheng Corporation had done many wicked things, and one of the biggest things was that his capable assistant, Qiao Xi, had a fire at home, and the family of three had died in a sea of fire. It was true that Cheng Xinkai had handled the aftermath, but he had also taken over everything in the Qiao family. Such a man was not even human in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes. Therefore, Shen Xiuwen was naturally very worried about Sheng Jiu getting close to a scumbag like Cheng Xinkai. If Cheng Xinkai was the one who approached Sheng Jiu first, then he must have other motives for Sheng Jiu. However, the person who approached Sheng Jiu first was Sheng Jiu, which puzzled Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Fourth Brother, I accidentally smashed Cheng Xinkai¡¯s car. I only came into contact with him because of the compensation.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was calm and expressionless. No one could tell what she was thinking. ¡°Sheng Jiu, do you listen to Fourth Brother?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes darkened as he looked at Sheng Jiu coldly and sternly. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Speak.¡± Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Cheng Xinkai is not a good person. If you need a friend, I can introduce someone to you. Stay away from him.¡± He was not a person who liked to control other people¡¯s lives, but Sheng Jiu, this Little Fool, could not differentiate between good and bad. She could not see through people¡¯s hearts and was easily abducted. Sheng Jiu¡¯s face was not only attractive to women, but also to men. What if Cheng Xinkai also had designs on Sheng Jiu¡¯s appearance? Cheng Xinkai was not a good person. Sheng Jiu knew this better than anyone else. It was because he was not a good person that she wanted to get close to him and slowly take revenge. ¡°Fourth Brother, I don¡¯t lack friends,¡± said Sheng Jiu. ¡°It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t lack friends. Don¡¯t make friends randomly. You can¡¯t tell good from bad.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s words hurt Sheng Jiu too much. Chapter 37 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes, she was a complete fool. She could not even differentiate between good and bad. However, Sheng Jiu could not refute him. Indeed, she could not differentiate between good and bad. That was why she died at Cheng Xinkai¡¯s hands in her previous life. ¡°In the next few days, please alter it into Fourth Brother¡¯s size so that he could try it on. I want a brand new one.¡± Sheng Jiu focused her attention on the clothes and hinted to the manager that it was too difficult to take care of a serious clean freak. ¡°There¡¯s no need to try it on. Just send it over according to the size.¡± Shen Xiuwen had no intention of trying on clothes at all. Manager: ¡°Okay, President Shen.¡± This was Shen Xiuwen¡¯s habit. Once he had chosen his clothes, they would send the clothes directly to his residence. ¡°Fourth Brother, aren¡¯t you going to take a look at how the clothes would look on you?¡± Sheng Jiu felt that this boss was really straightforward in choosing clothes. He didn¡¯t even need to try them on, so what was there for her to choose? ¡°You want to see it?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked. Sheng Jiu was in a dilemma whether she wanted to see it or not. She definitely could not say that she did not want to see the clothes she had chosen. That would make Shen Xiuwen unhappy. ¡°A little.¡± She chose an answer that would not offend anyone. ¡°Give me the clothes my size. I¡¯ll try it,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. Manager: ¡°Alright, President Shen, please wait a moment.¡± ¡°Take two more sets of his size and let him try them on.¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu. He wondered what Sheng Jiu would look like in a formal suit. ¡°Fourth Brother, I don¡¯t need it. I don¡¯t lack clothes.¡± Sheng Jiu immediately shook her head and refused. The clothes in this shop were basically business-style. How could she look good in them? Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Little fool, do you know how lucky you are? Our Fourth Master rarely gives people anything. You can¡¯t refuse when he gives something to you, understand?¡± He Sijun happened to hear this when he came in. He naturally walked to Sheng Jiu¡¯s side and patted her shoulder. Of course, Sheng Jiu understood the meaning behind He Sijun¡¯s words. Rejecting Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gift meant that she was ungrateful. Sheng Jiu pursed her lips. ¡°But the clothes here don¡¯t suit me.¡± ¡°Little Fool, we won¡¯t know if it¡¯s suitable until we try it. Don¡¯t be shy. It doesn¡¯t matter if you try a few more sets.¡± He Sijun treated Sheng Jiu¡¯s rejection as shyness. ¡°Pick two suitable sets for him,¡± Shen Xiuwen instructed the manager. The manager nodded. ¡°Alright, President Shen. You¡¯re so good to your brother.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Shen Xiuwen agreed immediately. Sheng Jiu was the younger brother of an aristocratic family, so she was naturally considered a younger brother of his. ¡°President Shen, why don¡¯t we choose the same series as yours? I think this young master looks quite good in these clothes. We have small sizes.¡± The manager asked for Shen Xiuwen¡¯s opinion. Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Yes.¡± Sheng Jiu struggled. ¡°I think¡­¡± ¡°Little Fool, don¡¯t be embarrassed. It¡¯s your honor to wear the same clothes with our Fourth Master.¡± He Sijun looked at Sheng Jiu with a smile. Sheng Jiu didn¡¯t say anything else. It wasn¡¯t that she was embarrassed, but she just felt that it wasn¡¯t appropriate to wear the same clothes with Shen Xiuwen. However, it didn¡¯t matter if she tried it. After all, she might not buy it even if she tried it. ¡°Fourth Master, why don¡¯t I try it too? We can pretend to be brothers,¡± He Sijun said half-jokingly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t suit you.¡± Shen Xiuwen rejected him outright, his tone full of disdain. ¡°Fourth Master, I can also change your style.¡± He Sijun was used to walking the path of a prodigal son. The clothes he wore were very flirtatious. This kind of business style clothes was really not suitable for him. Shen Xiuwen replied, ¡°No need.¡± Sheng Jiu dawdled in the fitting room for a while before coming out. When she came out, Shen Xiuwen had already changed his clothes. His dark blue shirt made him look even more cold and noble. His tall and slender figure and superior lines made people unable to take their eyes off him. The clothes were almost custom-made for Shen Xiuwen. Sheng Jiu looked down at the clothes she was wearing. In the end, it was a man¡¯s clothes. She could not support the frame of the clothes so it was a little loose. Shen Xiuwen looked like a business elite when he wore it, while Sheng Jiu looked loose and casual when she wore it. ¡°Young Master, you look so handsome in this outfit. Let me help you tidy up the collar at the back.¡± The manager was about to make a move when a hand passed him and landed on the back collar of Sheng Jiu. ¡°This set is fine. Go get one for him to try.¡± Shen Xiuwen chased the manager away. When the manager saw Sheng Jiu come out, his eyes lit up. ¡°Fourth Brother, I don¡¯t have to try it on anymore. The clothes here don¡¯t suit me.¡± Sheng Jiu quickly refused. She didn¡¯t want to try it on anymore. ¡°It¡¯s suitable.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s tone was commanding, and his bottomless black eyes fell on Sheng Jiu¡¯s face through the fitting mirror. Chapter 38 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Sheng Jiu looked up and met Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze in the mirror. Then, she shifted her gaze to the side. ¡°Don¡¯t move. The collar isn¡¯t neat yet.¡± Shen Xiuwen personally adjusted it for Sheng Jiu. Kacha. He Sijun, this boring guy, started to secretly take photos of Shen Xiuwen¡¯s rare warm scene. ¡°This is a historic moment!¡± ¡°Delete it!¡± Shen Xiuwen shot He Sijun a sharp look, full of warning. ¡°This photo is so beautiful. Are you sure you want to delete it, Fourth Master?¡± He Sijun walked up to Shen Xiuwen with his phone and showed it to him. The two people in the photo album were indeed very good-looking. Shen Xiuwen was cold and handsome, and Sheng Jiu was delicate and handsome. It was a perfect photo. Shen Xiuwen: ¡°Yes.¡± He Sijun replied, ¡°Okay, Fourth Master.¡± Coincidentally, a few girls entered the shop. When they saw Shen Xiuwen and Sheng Jiu, their eyes widened and they smiled ambiguously. ¡°Aiyo, it¡¯s a couple outfit. It¡¯s so beautiful¡­ Although they¡¯re both men, they look so compatible!¡± They tried their best to control their voices, but Sheng Jiu could still hear them clearly. Initially, Sheng Jiu had thought that if they wore the same clothes, it would look like they were brothers at most. However, for some reason, the clothes looked like a couple¡¯s outfit on her and Shen Xiuwen. One was cold and arrogant, while the other was weak and handsome. They were clearly of the same color, but they had two different effects on them. It was not an exaggeration to say that it looked like a couple¡¯s outfit. Sheng Jiu returned to the changing room and changed back into her own clothes. ¡°You¡¯re not going to try anymore?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked Sheng Jiu. ¡°Fourth Brother, I don¡¯t think I should wear such formal clothes. They don¡¯t match my temperament.¡± Sheng Jiu rejected him directly. This business style of clothes was indeed not suitable for her. Only the suits custom-made by Madam Sheng were suitable for her. ¡°Send someone to deliver the clothes I¡¯ve just chosen.¡± Shen Xiuwen did not say anything else and instructed the manager to make the arrangements. Manager: ¡°Got it, President Shen.¡± ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯ll pay for it.¡± Sheng Jiu did not forget that she was here to compensate Shen Xiuwen for his clothes. So of course, she would pay for the clothes. Shen Xiuwen did not stop her and asked Sheng Jiu to pay for it. These were the clothes that Sheng Jiu had bought for him. Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably comfortable. ¡°Fourth Master, are you sure you don¡¯t want to take another look at this photo?¡± He Sijun leaned over. ¡°No, but send it to me first, then delete it,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. He Sijun: ¡°¡­¡± When Sheng Jiu came back after paying, He Sijun was already gone, leaving Shen Xiuwen sitting alone on the sofa. ¡°Fourth Brother, it¡¯s all done. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Sheng Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. Her time with Shen Xiuwen should be over now. ¡°Go pick out a few more sets of sportswear.¡± Shen Xiuwen stood up and walked out. ¡°Fourth Brother, you want some sportswear?¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s impression of Shen Xiuwen was that he didn¡¯t like shopping. Now that they were going from one shop to another, how long were they going to shop? ¡°You too.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s tone was unquestionable, carrying with it some domineering orders. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°I really don¡¯t need it.¡± Shen Xiuwen said, ¡°Accompany me to Deer Ridge Mountain for a couple of days.¡± ¡°Why are we going there?¡± Sheng Jiu was stunned. Deer Ridge Mountain was a newly developed resort last year. It occupied the entire valley of Deer Ridge Mountain. The scenery was excellent. There was a horse farm, golf course, a resort hotel, and so on. It was a very high-end club. It was said that it was very difficult for ordinary people to enter. Cheng Xinkai had wanted to join this club before, but he was not qualified. Last year, the Cheng Corporation had not been listed, and his net worth was not enough. Moreover, joining the club required an annual fee of millions. Cheng Xinkai was a little reluctant to part with the money. ¡°I want you to be a tester and give me some suggestions.¡± Shen Xiuwen had already walked into the clothing store next door. ¡°So, you own that club?¡± Sheng Jiu chased after him. ¡°What do you think?¡± This time, Shen Xiuwen was not picky at all. He ordered two sets of sportswear and asked them to adjust the clothes to his size and Sheng Jiu¡¯s size. ¡°Fourth Brother, I haven¡¯t told my family yet.¡± Sheng Jiu saw that Shen Xiuwen was really going straight to Deer Ridge Mountain, but the Sheng family might not agree. After Sheng Jiu came out of the Buddhist temple, she basically did not spend the night outside. The Sheng family was worried about letting her spend the night outside. ¡°Your mother and I spoke on the phone when you were paying,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. Chapter 39 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Sheng Jiu¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°My mother agreed?¡± Shen Xiuwen replied, ¡°Auntie Lan asked me to bring you around for a few more days.¡± Sheng Jiu looked at Shen Xiuwen doubtfully, not believing his words. Would her mother give in so easily? ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can call and ask for yourself.¡± Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu as if he could guess what she was thinking. Sheng Jiu went outside to call her mother. ¡°Mom¡­¡± ¡°Little Jiu, you want to ask Xiuwen about taking you out to play, right? I agreed.¡± Before Sheng Jiu could speak, Madam Sheng said it. ¡°Mom, do you really trust me to go out with Fourth Brother Shen?¡± Sheng Jiu really wanted to know why her mother was so assured of Shen Xiuwen! She actually dared to let her go out with Shen Xiuwen for a few days and stay out all night! Even if she was a boy to the outside world, she was actually a real girl. ¡°I trust Xiuwen¡¯s character. I¡¯m relieved to have him take you out to broaden your horizons. You have to know that Xiuwen usually doesn¡¯t bring people around easily. Have fun with him.¡± Madam Sheng was quite confident in Shen Xiuwen¡¯s character. Although Shen Xiuwen had a strange temper and a cold personality, there was nothing wrong with his character. Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Okay, Mom. I understand.¡± Madam Sheng said, ¡°Little Jiu, if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t like, just tell Xiuwen. He won¡¯t force you to do anything you don¡¯t like.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Sheng Jiu nodded. Shen Xiuwen had already forced her to do something she didn¡¯t like! She didn¡¯t want to go to Deer Ridge Mountain, but he had already decided for her. Madam Sheng said, ¡°Little Jiu, have fun.¡± Sheng Jiu said, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Aiyo, isn¡¯t this Little Fool Sheng Jiu?¡± As soon as Sheng Jiu finished the call, a hooligan¡¯s voice was heard. She looked up and saw a few men walking towards her. The leader was an old acquaintance. Chu Haotian walked at the front. The way he looked at Sheng Jiu was as if he was injected with venom. He wished he could skin Sheng Jiu alive and pull out his tendons. Of course, Sheng Jiu knew why Chu Haotian hated him so much. A man who was drugged with such a heavy dose and then thrown into a nightclub would lose his body and rationality. Who knew what would happen? However, when Sheng Jiu saw that Chu Haotian could still come out and move around, she reckoned that it did not affect him much. Moreover, this person¡¯s heart was not ordinary. ¡°Sheng Jiu, I¡¯ve finally caught you. This time, I won¡¯t let you see the sun tomorrow.¡± Chu Haotian pretended to rush over and tear Sheng Jiu apart. ¡°Chu Haotian, did you have a good time that night?¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was light, and there was a hint of a smile in her eyes. ¡°A good time? What is this Little Fool talking about? Brother Haotian, are we still brothers now? You actually hooked up with Sheng Jiu behind our back? That¡¯s too much.¡± The brothers beside Chu Haotian were instantly unhappy. We treat you as a brother, but you¡¯re fooling around behind our backs. ¡°How can you believe the words of a fool like Sheng Jiu!¡± Chu Haotian said fiercely. He didn¡¯t want to talk about that night at all. That night was a nightmare for him! Chu Haotian didn¡¯t want to talk about it for the rest of his life! ¡°If you want to know what Chu Haotian did that night, I can show you the video. I have the entire process recorded,¡± Sheng Jiu said lightly. She could help Chu Haotian recall the things he didn¡¯t want to remember, since all the video recordings of that night were in her hands. She did this because she wanted to have something to threaten Chu Haotian when he wanted to take revenge on her. She just didn¡¯t expect that day to come so quickly. ¡°Sheng Jiu, how dare you!¡± Chu Haotian roared. ¡°Chu Haotian, if you dare to do it, you have to bear the consequences.¡± The corners of Sheng Jiu¡¯s mouth curled up coldly. She was no longer the timid Sheng Jiu in the past. Now, she could be said to be fearless. After dying once, what was there to be afraid of? ¡°Sheng Jiu, you still have the cheek to say that. It¡¯s all because of you that Chu Ling¡¯er is still in a coma in the hospital. I also¡­¡± Chu Haotian¡¯s words was stuck at the end of his sentence because he had been slept with that night. When he woke up, he didn¡¯t even know who had slept with him. His life was almost ruined. In the end, it was all because of this fool, Sheng Jiu! If it weren¡¯t for Sheng Jiu, the two of them wouldn¡¯t have been tortured by Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Brother Haotian, you said that Chu Ling¡¯er¡¯s sister was knocked out by Sheng Jiu?¡± A man heard that Chu Ling¡¯er¡¯s coma was caused by Sheng Jiu and immediately cast a fierce gaze at Sheng Jiu. He liked Chu Ling¡¯er and usually treated her like a little princess. In the end, she was bullied by Sheng Jiu, this fool. Now that she was lying unconscious in the hospital, he had to take revenge for Chu Ling¡¯er! Chapter 40 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°Yes, it was Sheng Jiu who scared Chu Ling¡¯er to such a state,¡± Chu Haotian said angrily. ¡°Brothers, surround him. If we don¡¯t beat him up until he calls us father today, we won¡¯t let him go!¡± The man shouted. The three or four of them instantly surrounded Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu had just made a phone call. In order to have some peace and quiet, she walked to a small corner of the shopping mall. In this place, it was quite convenient for Chu Haotian and the others to block people. ¡°Call you ¡®father¡¯? Then let¡¯s see who will call who ¡®father¡¯ in the end! Chu Haotian, if you don¡¯t beat me to death, your action documentary will be broadcasted in this shopping mall!¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s speed was very fast, but Chu Haotian and the others had more people, so it was still a little difficult to fight one against four. ¡°Sheng Jiu, as long as you kneel down and beg for mercy, then go to the hospital and apologize to Chu Ling¡¯er, I¡¯ll let you go.¡± Chu Haotian was certain that they had won this time, so he was not afraid of Sheng Jiu¡¯s threat. He shouted for Sheng Jiu to kneel down and admit her mistake. However, there was no such thing as admitting defeat in Sheng Jiu¡¯s dictionary. Moreover, it was still uncertain who would admit defeat. ¡°You two, arrest that fool for me. See if I don¡¯t kill him today. I¡¯ll beat him until he kneels and begs for mercy!¡± Chu Haotian pointed at the two men. Upon receiving the order, the two men immediately pounced on Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu sent them flying with a kick. When they got up and pounced on Sheng Jiu for the second time, a sharp figure rushed over and kicked one of the men away before stepping heavily on his back. ¡°Fourth Brother Shen!¡± Sheng Jiu called out in surprise when he saw Shen Xiuwen. ¡°Fourth¡­ Fourth Master Shen?¡± When Chu Haotian saw Shen Xiuwen, his voice trembled in fear. Why was Shen Xiuwen here? ¡°Sheng Jiu, are you alright?¡± Shen Xiuwen walked to Sheng Jiu¡¯s side and sized her up from head to toe. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not injured. Sheng Jiu also said, ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯m fine.¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s gaze fell on Chu Haotian. ¡°Chu Haotian, it seems like the lesson I taught you last time wasn¡¯t enough. Who gave you the guts to touch him?¡± His sharp gaze landed on Chu Haotian. At this moment, Chu Haotian was so frightened that his legs went weak. He begged Shen Xiuwen bitterly, ¡°Fourth Master Shen, Fourth Master, I was wrong. My sister is still unconscious because of Sheng Jiu. I just couldn¡¯t take it anymore¡­¡± ¡°Chu Haotian, your sister didn¡¯t faint because of Sheng Jiu. She deserves it!¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s eyes were dark, and his tone was frighteningly sinister. ¡°Chu Haotian, Chu Haotian, Fourth Master gave you a way out last time, but you didn¡¯t live well and insisted on coming to your death.¡± He Sijun also came over. When he saw the scene in front of him, he only felt that Chu Haotian was tired of living. The punishment that Sheng Jiu gave him last time was a little insulting, but at least it spared Chu Haotian¡¯s life. In the end, Chu Haotian didn¡¯t cherish it and actually dared to provoke Sheng Jiu. ¡°He Sijun, deal with him and let him learn his lesson,¡± Shen Xiuwen said. ¡°Fourth Master, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m very good at dealing with this. I only know one way to kill people, but I know more than a hundred ways to make people wish they were dead,¡± He Sijun said with a perverted smile. When Sheng Jiu saw He Sijun like this, she could imagine how badly Chu Haotian would be tortured by him. ¡°Fourth Master, Fourth Master Shen, I beg you, please let me go. I promise I won¡¯t dare to touch Sheng Jiu again.¡± Chu Haotian knelt in front of Shen Xiuwen and begged him. Shen Xiuwen kicked him away without holding back his strength, and Chu Haotian bent over on the ground in pain. ¡°Which hand touched Sheng Jiu? Cut it off.¡± With that, Shen Xiuwen pulled Sheng Jiu toward the parking lot. After getting into the car, Shen Xiuwen handed a bottle of water to Sheng Jiu. Sheng Jiu took it and said, ¡°Thank you, Fourth Brother.¡± ¡°How useless. Where did they hurt you?¡± Shen Xiuwen asked Sheng Jiu again. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Fourth Brother, you came over before they could hit me.¡± What Sheng Jiu said was the truth. Chu Haotian and the others couldn¡¯t hurt her, but if Shen Xiuwen had come a few minutes later, she might have been injured. ¡°Does that mean that I¡¯m still your savior?¡± Shen Xiuwen¡¯s expression improved a little. If something happened to Sheng Jiu by his side, he would not be able to explain it to the Sheng family. Not only would the Sheng family not forgive him, but he would also not be able to forgive himself. ¡°That¡¯s right. Fourth Brother Shen is my savior. If you need me in the future, just tell me.¡± Sheng Jiu¡¯s tone was filled with loyalty and cuteness. ¡°Fasten your seatbelt. Let¡¯s go.¡± Shen Xiuwen started the car.
