Inside the clubhouseâs private roomâ¦
Because Fu Chen and Duan Linbai had appeared out of nowhere, the people cheering just now were as quiet as chickens and as cold as winter. Not to mention talking, even their breathing had become cautious.
âSecond Jiang, say something. Why did you lure her here with such fanfare?â Duan Linbai leaned against the door.
At this moment, a group of people from the Beijing circle was gathered in the private room. Instead of calling it a confession, it was more like a disguised declaration of sovereignty.
Jiang Ershao wanted to tell everyone: I like this girl. I want to woo her. Donât snatch her.
In the end, Fu Chen interfered in this matter. How could he not be angry?
âWhy are you still standing there? Come here.â Fu Chenâs gaze kept falling on Song Fengwan.
Song Fengwan was immediately obedient and stood behind Fu Chen.
Jiang Ershao was holding a bouquet in his hand. Actually, there was also a diamond necklace lying in his pocket. But facing Fu Chen, he didnât dare to say anything even though he was angry. He was furious and depressed.
In fact, at this point, Fu Chen just had to take her away. But he didnât do so. Instead, he continued to stand on the spot and look at Jiang Ershao with a burning gaze.
âI donât like to repeat my words three times. You havenât answered the question I asked you just now.â
Duan Linbai was speechless.?Isnât it enough for you to ruin his grand confession ceremony? Do you have to rub salt on his wound?
Youâre too bad.
Jiang Ershao tightened his grip on the bouquet in his arms. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words with difficulty. âI didnât mean that?â
âThen, do you have any objections if I take her away?â
âNo.â How could he dare to have any objections?
âThen, you just said that you have something to talk to her about. If itâs something urgent, why donât you say it now? Otherwise, people will say that Iâm domineering and bullying a child.â Fu Chen had thrown the prayer bead bracelet into the car. At this moment, his hands were itching, and he kept rubbing the cufflinks on his sleeves. His actions inexplicably made him look like he was about to hit him at any time.
Jiang Ershao finally saw what it meant to have a glib tongue.
Youâre clearly bullying me, yet you still want to leave a good reputation for yourself. Youâre obviously being domineering!
Besides, Iâm f*cking going to confess. Now that sheâs standing behind you, am I supposed to be affectionate to you?
Standing at the side, Duan Linbai inexplicably sympathized with him.?Fu Chen is really too bad. When heâs bullying someone, he still has to stand on the moral high ground. Youâve occupied all the good reputation. What else can others do?
âSince youâre not saying anything, thenâ¦â Fu Chenâs tongue turned. âIâll take her away.â
âOkay.â This was the first time Jiang Ershao had faced Fu Chen directly. There were many rumors about him in the circle. Anyway, in conclusion, it was [Cherish your life and stay away from Third Master Fu]. Everyoneâs taboos about him were deeply rooted.
He was a man who even bullied his own nephew, let alone irrelevant people.
Jiang Ershao could only watch the three of them leave. When the door of the private room closed, the hot sweat on his back from being full of excitement and nervousness had already all turned into cold sweat. His clothes stuck to him, and his entire body seemed to be wrapped in a swamp of despair.
He felt powerless and desperate.
âErshao, I just remembered that I still have something to do. Iâll get going first. Iâve brought you a gift.â
âMy dad suddenly called me home for dinner.â

The people in the private room were not fools. It was already very embarrassing for the matter to come to this. No one was in the mood to continue celebrating, so they all found excuses to leave. In the end, only Jiang Ershao and the five students from the Central Academy of Fine Arts were left.
They were here to get sponsors, but they didnât expect such a thing to happen. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say and unwilling to leave at this moment.
âErm, Mr. Jiangâ¦â The president of the liaison department braced himself and walked up.
At this moment, Jiang Ershao was sitting on the sofa and drinking from a wine bottle. He gulped down half the bottle of wine, and the corners of his mouth and clothes were covered in alcohol stains.
âIâll give you the sponsorship. Iâll get someone to send the money over tomorrow.â Jiang Ershao felt depressed in his heart, but he couldnât do anything about Fu Chen. However, he couldnât withdraw the sponsorship just because his confession failed. If he did this, he would be utterly embarrassed in front of Song Fengwan.
âThank you.â The students hurriedly thanked him.
âYou can leave.â He only wanted to be alone now.
When he was alone in the private room, he gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He could only try to numb himself with alcohol.

After some time, someone pushed the door open. Jiang Ershao looked up and saw that it was Sun Rui. âWhat the f*ck are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?â
