Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Contest Chapter 805: Chapter 805: Contest Luo Ziling didnât expect to encounter Chen Jiahai here, and couldnât help but be quite surprised.
However, he still turned his head to greet him, âIâm delighted to see Mr. Chen here. Huh, why is Mr. Chenâs face injured?â
There were a few unusual spots on Chen Jiahaiâs facial skin, which might not be noticeable without careful observation.
But Luo Ziling knew what had happened, so he started making a fuss about it out loud.
The smile on Chen Jiahaiâs face, which had been there originally, disappeared instantly upon hearing Luo Zilingâs words, replaced by an expression of annoyance.
Having fainted inexplicably at the entertainment club and hitting his head on the toilet, Chen Jiahai initially thought he had just passed out, but later on, he was convinced that wasnât the case. He suspected that someone had sneaked in, knocked him out, and then placed his head on the toilet.
And the only one who would dare to retaliate against him was Luo Ziling.
Chen Jiahai didnât suspect anybody else of attacking him, his only suspect was Luo Ziling.
Unfortunately for him, he found no evidence.
The surveillance footage showed no unidentified persons entering the area, and there were no signs of anything amiss at the scene.
But Chen Jiahai stubbornly believed it to be Luo Zilingâs act of retaliation. He was well aware of Luo Zilingâs capabilities, and sneaking in unnoticed to retaliate wouldnât have been difficult, as some of his own bodyguards possessed similar skills. When he saw Luo Ziling, and was immediately asked in front of three beautiful women if his face was injured, Chen Jiahai became further convinced of his suspicion.
Therefore, he rudely retorted, âItâs just because I carelessly kicked a mad dog and took a fall, thatâs all.â
âSo it was just a fall,â Luo Ziling nodded solemnly in response, âThatâs good to hear. If you got bitten by a rabid dog, you could catch rabies, and that would be terrible. Iâve heard when rabies break out, people become just like mad dogs, biting anyone they see, which is extremely frightening. I was thinking, if Mr. Chen were to ever become like that, it would be too horrifying.â
Luo Zilingâs words not only made Chen Jiahai angry enough to want to explode on the spot, but the three beauties beside them also changed their expressions.
They were all very clear about the status of someone like Chen Jiahai.
Compared to a top-tier young master like Chen Jiahai, their own statuses undoubtedly fell short.
Although Li Man and Ning Meng came from decent families, they belonged to second-tier families and were indeed far behind a top-tier wealthy family like the Chen family. To Li Man and Ning Meng, a young master like Chen Jiahai was someone they would aspire to associate with but didnât have the chance to. If they could spend the night with Chen Jiahai, theyâd be willing to do anything for the opportunity.
If they could marry Chen Jiahai, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.
Although Luo Yuqing was indifferent to Chen Jiahai, she still kept a sufficient degree of respect when they met, given the difference in their statuses.
None of them could have imagined that Luo Ziling had a grudge against Chen Jiahai, and it seemed like a deep one at that.
Seeing that Luo Ziling wasnât giving him any face, Chen Jiahaiâs expression darkened as he harshly replied, âNothing but a cast-off, and yet you actually take yourself so seriously.â
âMr. Chen usually doesnât take himself seriously, huh? No wonder he drinks anything when heâs thirsty without even fearing disgust,â Luo Ziling obviously wasnât going to let Chen Jiahai bully him in front of Luo Yuqing, and immediately retorted with mockery, adding a cold sneer as he issued a reminder to Chen Jiahai, âMr. Chen, I kindly warn you, donât play games with me, otherwise, you will pay the price.â
Chen Jiahai and the three women by his side instantly changed their expressions.
Li Man either got very angry because of what Luo Ziling just said or her brain short-circuited. Right after hearing Luo Zilingâs arrogant comment, she quickly shared Chen Jiahaiâs enemy: âMr. Chen, who is this guy? Heâs so arrogant. As soon as he came in, he bullied me, and now he doesnât even regard you, itâs too much. Yuqing, what kind of man have you found for a boyfriend? He doesnât have a bit of manners.â
Luo Yuqingâs expression also changed, coldly looking at Li Man.
Chen Jiahai naturally stood beside Li Man, looking at Luo Ziling with a cold sneer, âHeâs nothing but a shameless man who uses his looks to deceive womenâs affection.â
âThatâs sour grapes,â Luo Ziling looked squarely at Chen Jiahai, âYouâre jealous of my good looks, thatâs why youâd say something like that. I am good-looking and erudite, so naturally, women favor me. Your jealousy is futile because youâre neither as handsome as I am nor as talented, so the truly beautiful women donât fancy you, only those who think theyâre pretty but are actually hideous to death would throw themselves at you.â
These words from Luo Ziling caused the faces of Li Man and Ning Meng, who stood beside Chen Jiahai, to stiffen. They quickly took a step back and then angrily glared at Luo Ziling.
âI wasnât referring to you, but if the shoe fits, I canât help that,â Luo Ziling said innocently as he looked at Li Man and Ning Meng, before smiling at Luo Yuqing, âYuqing, letâs not talk to boring people. Iâm hungry, letâs go grab something to eat, shall we?â
After the face-off with Chen Jiahai began, Luo Yuqing hadnât said a word, just stood quietly by Luo Zilingâs side. Hearing Luo Ziling say this, she immediately nodded, âAlright, letâs go get something to fill our stomachs first. Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse us for now; weâll come back and have a drink with you later.â
Having said that, without caring for the reactions from Chen Jiahai, Li Man, and Ning Meng, she took Luo Ziling and left.
âMr. Chen, maybe later we can have a few more drinks. Last time you performed so poorly when drinking with me. If itâs the same today, youâll only make yourself look worse,â Luo Ziling commented, which caused Chen Jiahai, already at his witsâ end with anger, to feel another pang in his heart, the embarrassing outcome from Ouyang Huihuiâs birthday resurfacing in his mind.
Knowing that he couldnât outtalk Luo Ziling, and that his alcohol tolerance and fighting skills werenât even close, he snorted coldly and left.
Chen Jiahai was no match for Luo Ziling, and with Li Man and Ning Meng aware of Luo Zilingâs complicated background and that he wasnât a man to be trifled with easily, they dared not act arrogantly and decided to follow Chen Jiahai out.
âMiss Li, actually, I forgot to remind you of one thing: your illness is due to yin deficiency, sleeping with too many men, causing excessive leakage of yin energy. You must be restrained, otherwise, itâs easy to shorten your life,â Luo Ziling called out.
Li Manâs feet in her high heels softened and, no longer able to hold back, she turned and charged at Luo Ziling, ready for a fight.
But somehow, as she charged furiously towards Luo Ziling, her legs gave way and she fell to her knees.
âMiss Li, donât be like this. If you want me to treat you, thatâs not a problem, but donât show such great courtesy; I canât bear it,â Luo Ziling said, quickly reaching out to help her. As he touched her waist, he also took the opportunity to press a few acupuncture points.
Touched on a few special points by Luo Ziling, Li Manâs body couldnât hold up any longer and completely fell into Luo Zilingâs arms, her mouth emitting very seductive moans.
Ning Meng, who was beside her, was stunned by this unexpected situation, and Luo Yuqing, who stood beside Luo Ziling, had a similar expression.
However, Luo Yuqing felt an immense sense of pride inside; today had been a very gratifying day indeed.
