Free Web NovelChapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Scumbag Physique
About half an hour later, Zheng Lu Hua arrived.
As soon as she entered the room, everyone’s eyes fell behind her.
Unfortunately, she closed the door as soon as she came in, meaning no one came with her.
Originally, Zheng Lu Hua didn’t agree to bring Wu Yang over with Lan Xi, and Wu Yang had also politely declined.
Although he said it was because he had a bruised face and it was inconvenient to meet her friends, she knew he was being considerate, understanding he shouldn’t be at today’s event.
Lan Xi came over, wrapped her arm around Zheng Lu Hua’s, and mischievously asked, "Where’s your Young Master Wu?"
"What do you mean my Young Master Wu." Zheng Lu Hua glared at her; she and Wu Yang were not in that kind of relationship.
"Oh, he’ll be yours sooner or later, why be shy? From my perspective, he’s great, gentle and considerate to you, handsome, and comes from a good family. He’s practically custom-made for you, unlike some people, who act high and mighty every day, making you suffer. In his eyes, you’re probably not even as good as a maid." Lan Xi glanced at Jian Shaohan as she spoke.
Jian Shaohan’s face darkened, and his eyes seemed ready to shoot flames as he angrily glared at Lan Xi, his fists clenched and cracking.
Usually, Lan Xi isn’t afraid of him, let alone with Lu Hao and the others around, she’d be even more fearless.
"Alright, alright, today we’re here to celebrate Sister-in-law’s birthday, not for you to have conflicts." Dong Le tried to mediate, fearing Jian Shaohan might lose control and hit someone.
If that happened, Brother Jiang might get angry and possibly deal with all of them.
Lan Xi dared to tease Jian Shaohan, but didn’t dare to disrespect Jiang Jingheng. Seeing she had done enough, she pulled Zheng Lu Hua over to Mu Yan’s side.
Jian Shaohan’s gaze followed Zheng Lu Hua’s figure, as if trying to bore a hole into her.
"Old Jian, honestly, do you regret it?" Ning Ze suddenly asked softly.
Seeing him now annoyed Jian Shaohan, and he replied irritably, "Get away from me."
Ning Ze snorted lightly, "You think I want to be so close to you? I’m afraid your philandering nature might rub off on me. I’m going to find my wife."
With that, he stood up and went over to Qin Xi.
Jian Shaohan, "..."
Damn it, who the hell is a philanderer!
He watched Zheng Lu Hua speak with Mu Yan, smiling brightly, completely ignoring the injuries on his face, yet accompanying another man to the hospital, which made him feel quite bitter inside.
Most of the people had arrived, and Dong Le asked someone to arrange the dinner party.
At the dining table, the conversation naturally turned to Mu Yan.
Although there had recently been rumors of Mu Yan’s indecent photos circulating, causing everyone to worry, seeing Jiang Jingheng’s calm appearance assured them the rumors were untrue.
Otherwise, with Jiang Jingheng’s temperament, everyone would probably not get off easily.
After dinner, a server brought in a cake, and everyone sang a birthday song for Mu Yan.
Both men and women present turned into jesters, playing joyfully, and just as Mu Yan finished making her wish, they smeared cream all over her face, instantly turning her into a little kitten.
This time, Jiang Jingheng didn’t stop them, watching her with a smile.
Seeing he wouldn’t help, Mu Yan, in a huff, smeared cream on his face too.
Jiang Jingheng sat there, allowing her to do as she pleased, with undisguised affection in his eyes.
Everyone exchanged glances; this display of affection was so sudden.
To indulge or not?
After some fun and games, some people sang while others played cards.
With Qin Xi around, Mu Yan had a strong desire to sing, and the two of them sang several songs together, enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, Lan Xi stuck closely to Lu Hao, not moving even when Ning Ze mocked her.
In the middle of the card game, Lu Hao’s phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID, he apologized and stepped outside to take the call.
Sitting next to him, Lan Xi saw the caller ID and suddenly felt her heart tighten.
