Chapter 68: The Cannon Fodder in a Dogblood Novel (68)
When Fu Sizhao saw Lin Chengxing standing opposite Shen Tangqing, the corners of his lips hooked into an undisguised sneer.
It turned out to be her…
Then there was nothing to worry about.
Seeing Fu Sizhao suddenly stop in place, Jiang Qingyan couldn’t help but frown.
“Why stop walking?”
Fu Sizhao’s peach blossom eyes curved, his careless tone mixed with the interest of watching a play. “What’s the rush? Watch the show.”
“Watch the show?” Jiang Qingyan’s brows furrowed tighter.
“I know that woman.” Fu Sizhao rubbed his diamond cufflink, the playfulness in his expression deepening a few degrees.
Jiang Qingyan glanced at him, his tone colder. “So?”
“Lin Chengxing,” Fu Sizhao spoke slowly and methodically, “I’m old acquaintances with her cousin. I’ve eaten with her twice before.”
“Say everything at once.”
Jiang Qingyan was really annoyed by Fu Sizhao’s fussy personality—always putting on an air of deep calculation but never calculating anything clearly.
Fu Sizhao clicked his tongue and stopped keeping him in suspense.
“I remember she has a girlfriend she’s been dating for quite a while. Although I don’t know why she came to a blind date with Brother Shen, this person poses no threat to us.”
Jiang Qingyan was surprised for an instant.
After reacting, his whole face sank, and the air pressure around him dropped sharply.
When he looked up at Lin Chengxing again, there was no warmth left in his gaze.
This woman actually wants to scam him into a marriage?
She’s scamming his person!
“I can’t let them continue chatting.” Jiang Qingyan’s Adam’s apple rolled for a moment, his voice colder than before.
Fu Sizhao raised an eyebrow, putting away that bit of playfulness, looking rarely serious.
“What? Want to go up and expose her directly? But today is at your Jiang family’s banquet. Leaving aside whether you have evidence, are you sure you want to make everyone unhappy?”
Pausing, he added,
“But then again, this Lin Chengxing is bold enough. Treating blind dates as child’s play is one thing, but daring to plot against the Jiang family? Isn’t she afraid it’ll end badly if she’s found out?”
Lin Chengxing was actually forced by her family with no other choice.
They wanted equal social status, someone she could easily manipulate, and he had to marry into her family.
Under these conditions, it was hard to find a suitable match in their circle.
Finally, under someone’s introduction, she set her sights on Shen Tangqing.
Mainly because she saw that the Jiang family couldn’t tolerate Shen Tangqing. Even if her secrets were exposed, in the face of sufficient benefits, she thought they would choose to turn a blind eye.
How could she know Jiang Qingyan’s feelings for Shen Tangqing?
If she knew even a bit, she wouldn’t have dared to plot against him.
How could Jiang Qingyan not think of what Fu Sizhao said?
“I’ll just go over and see what they’re talking about…”
Fu Sizhao couldn’t help but sneer.
He haven’t even started dating yet, and his IQ has already dropped.
However—
Looking at Shen Tangqing smiling gently at Lin Chengxing,
His expression darkened.
It really made one very unhappy!
Just as Jiang Qingyan left,
Lu Yanli’s cold voice came from behind.
“What are you standing here for?”
Fu Sizhao turned around and saw Lu Yanli walking over.
The black suit made his figure even more upright, but his face was as cold as ever.
His eyebrows raised slightly; he couldn’t help teasing.
“Brother Lu, you were in the restroom for quite a while!”
Lu Yanli’s expression stiffened for a moment.
He was silent for two seconds before speaking. “I smoked for a while; I got delayed.”
Fu Sizhao gave an “Oh,” not thinking much of it.
But when his peripheral vision caught the corner of Lu Yanli’s clothes stained with a water mark, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Why is the corner of your clothes wet?”
Lu Yanli’s fingertips curled almost imperceptibly.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, his tone remained flat. “Maybe I didn’t pay attention when washing my hands and got splashed.”
After speaking, he calmly changed the subject. “What are you standing here for? Where are Brother Shen and the others?”
Fu Sizhao suddenly hooked his lips, pointing at Shen Tangqing not far away. “Brother Shen is on a blind date with someone!”
After speaking, he looked at Lu Yanli with interest. “Brother Lu, maybe not long from now Brother Shen will get engaged. This is truly… a joyous occasion.”
Lu Yanli’s gaze followed the direction of Fu Sizhao’s finger.
Shen Tangqing was chatting happily with a woman, his brows full of smiles.
A trace of darkness flashed across his eyes.
His originally cold expression now seemed covered with a layer of ice, as if the surrounding air was about to freeze.
“Why isn’t Brother Lu speaking?” Fu Sizhao observed Lu Yanli’s reaction, his expression even more playful.
Lu Yanli suddenly lifted his eyelids to look at Fu Sizhao.
His tone was terrifyingly calm.
“Indeed a joyous occasion.”
Fu Sizhao: “…”
Poser!
One or two, they are all posers!
Looking at Lu Yanli’s cold brows, he suddenly laughed in a low voice.
“Brother Lu, the hardest part of a man shouldn’t be his mouth.”
Lu Yanli’s hand hanging by his side suddenly clenched tight, his knuckles turning cold white, yet only an extremely faint, cold snort overflowed from his throat.
His gaze remained locked on Shen Tangqing.
Shen Tangqing lowered his head slightly, listening to the woman speak, his expression very soft.
The chill in Lu Yanli’s eyes deepened a few degrees.
A moment later, he looked at Fu Sizhao, his voice still cold and hard.
“What do you want to say?”
“Nothing,” Fu Sizhao spread his hands, a deliberate smile piling on his face.
“I just feel Brother Shen is likable. I’m preparing to pursue him. I was worried Brother Lu was interested in him! Now it seems I worried too much.”
This sentence was like a needle, instantly piercing the calm Lu Yanli maintained.
Wen Ci before was enough.
Now Fu Sizhao also wanted to stick a foot in?
He stared deadly at Fu Sizhao.
For a long time.
He suddenly laughed.
But his smile didn’t reach his eyes.
“Ah Zhao, what benefit is there for you to provoke me?”
“None. I just really want to see Brother Lu lose control,” Fu Sizhao clicked his tongue. “It feels very interesting.”
“If I decide to make a move, it’s none of your business.” Lu Yanli’s voice was suppressed extremely low, yet it carried unquestionable dominance.
“Brother Lu, we are a society ruled by law; you still have to abide by the law.” Fu Sizhao reminded him carelessly, his words carrying a hint of a veiled warning.
“Moreover, Shen Tangqing is a member of the Jiang family. Jiang Qingyan… is very protective of him, isn’t he?”
After speaking, he blinked. “Brother Lu, guess why he protects Brother Shen so much?”
Lu Yanli sneered, didn’t reply, and walked straight to the sofa in the corner of the hall to sit down.
But his gaze seemed glued to Shen Tangqing, never moving away.
What he, Lu Yanli, did was never law-abiding business.
However—
He didn’t want to drag Shen Tangqing into his circle now.
At least he had to deal with the Bo family and be able to protect Shen Tangqing thoroughly, then take him—
Keep him by his side.
Using whatever method!
…
Fu Sizhao stood still, his gaze falling on Lu Yanli.
A moment later, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
The more people, the livelier it gets!
The muddier the water, the easier it is to fish in it.
However, Fu Sizhao quite agreed with Wen Ci’s approach.
How boring is law-abiding dating?
You have to eat the prize first; it’s not like he won’t take responsibility…
Thinking of this while looking at Shen Tangqing, Fu Sizhao’s desire became stronger.
Eating him… the taste must be very good.
…
Although Fu Sizhao didn’t want to admit it, essentially he and Wen Ci were the same kind of people.
As for Lu Yanli,
Even a cargo truck couldn’t hold as much as he could “pose.”
