After the Fake Young Lady Stole Everything from Me, I Became the World’s Sweetheart-Chapter 21

Chapter Twenty-One: Gathering (2)

Liang Han was taken aback. He quickly recovered and said, “That’s different. That fool became arrogant just because he had a little fame and dared to target one of his company’s female artistes. He was just fooling around, but unfortunately, that lady had quite a stubborn personality and insisted on clinging to him. Really, what a scandal! I feel like giving him a kick or two!”

Liang Han was so angry that he gestured wildly as he spoke. He beat his chest and stamped his feet.

“I’d advise you to not be excited too soon,” Ye Kun said feebly. “How can you be sure that this new director you’re praising to the moon and back won’t become the next fool?”

“Of course, she won’t!” Liang Han chuckled. “She’s female, for one. And she hardly shows her face in public, so she probably looks unappealing. Think about it; she’s a talented but unattractive woman. That makes her the perfect partner! I don’t have to worry about messy and improper relationships for the rest of my life, nor do I have to fend off ardent admirers.”

Liang Han rubbed his hands together excitedly, but alas, his three pals weren’t interested in supporting him.

Xi Cheng’s phone vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at the message: “Miss Fang has already left the apartment. She didn’t take anything aside from her clothing and personal effects with her.”

“Did my mother visit her?” Xi Cheng sent the question with a dark expression.

“She brought Miss Lin along with her,” the other party replied.

At that answer, Xi Cheng slammed his phone on the coffee table and gave everyone a shock.

“What’s wrong with you?” Liang Han glared at Xi Cheng unhappily.

Xi Cheng ignored him. He poured himself a glass of wine and downed it without saying a word.

The others were stunned by his actions. Liang Han asked tentatively, “What’s wrong? Did you get rejected? No way! There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that Lin Yu is willing to let you go.”

Xi Cheng glared at Liang Han, and he immediately shut up. He realized that he’d once again touched a nerve, so he quickly looked around for help from his other friends.

‘

Xi Cheng has been like this since he was young. When he doesn’t want to talk, it is best to ignore him,’

Shi Nian thought.

He raised his glass and bumped it against Ye Kun’s, asking casually, “Didn’t you go abroad to discuss the merger and acquisition? Why do you look like you’ve been mining in Africa?”

Ye Kun sighed and rubbed his face. “Even

that

would have been preferable to what I went through!”

“So, what’s wrong?” Liang Han was intrigued. “You look like you’ve had your kidney dug out.”

Ye Kun glared at him. “How the hell did you survive in the entertainment industry with that mouth of yours?”

Liang Han proudly stretched his neck and stated, “Money, of course.”

‘

Shameless!

‘ Ye Kun and Shi Nian both turned their heads away from him.

“Shi Nian, I’ve decided to move to your residential area from tomorrow onwards. I’m not going home,” Ye Kun announced.

“Why? Are your parents forcing you to get married?” Shi Nian teased.

Ye Kun didn’t say anything.

Liang Han laughed loudly, “Haha, Young Master Ye, it serves you right! But hey, what’s up with that? Your big brother’s not married yet. Why would your relatives skip over your elder brother and place this heavy responsibility on your shoulders?”

Ye Kun slumped on the sofa and sighed, “I lost to my big bro, as usual. He had just gotten together with his girlfriend so he went and told my grandmother that he would get married after I found myself a girlfriend. He said some nonsense about not wanting to leave me too far behind in life, and the old lady actually believed it.”

“I got off the plane yesterday morning, and before I even recovered from jet lag, I was made to sit through a series of blind dates! From yesterday until now, I’ve met twelve blind dates.

Please

don’t mention women in front of me; even the sight of one right now makes me nauseous!”

Liang Han craned his head out to ask, “Don’t tell me you like men?”

“F*ck off! If I like men, your *ss will be the first one I come for!” Ye Kun cursed, causing Liang Han to retreat to the side.

Liang Han then took on a scared and timid expression; Ye Kun and Shi Nian looked away as they couldn’t stand it.

“Liang Han, I hope you won’t be able to sign that ugly and talented female director of yours!” Ye Kun said whilst pointing at Liang Han.

“Hey, hey, don’t be like that! Don’t joke about my career!” Liang Han cried plaintively.

“I’ve rented out my apartment downstairs. Don’t barge into the wrong apartment when you go back. Do try and remember your address.” Shi Nian reminded Ye Kun.

The residential area was under his name. He kept two apartments downstairs for himself, and Ye Kun had fancied and bought one of them.

“Rented out? Who did you rent it to?” Liang Han asked. He’d always had an extremely exuberant curiosity and was nosier than any paparazzi in the entertainment industry.

Shi Nian ignored him.

“Why are you willing to rent it out?” Ye Kun inquired; he was also curious.

His friend, Young Master Shi, had many quirks; he was possessive and a neat freak. Since the house was Shi Nian’s, he wouldn’t allow others to move in on his territory even if he didn’t live in it.

“Could it be that he rented it to a woman?” Liang Han suggested, as excited as if he had discovered a new continent.
