Chapter 198 - chivalry is dead, friendship is meaningless, capitalism reign

In the end, Jian Jun and Ji Cun Xi have to seat between Wang Kai and Guan Xian to prevent Guan Xian go crazy. "Why the heck he must eyeing for my sister." Guan Xian felt miserable.

"Heh, it's not like he is the only one..." Ji Cun Xi said, his side eyes to hint at Jian Jun. Jian Jun with an apathetic look stare straight to the screen. "I didn't meddle in your relationship."

It was meant for Wang Kai. Wang Kai raised his eyebrow before he turns his body towards three of them, especially Guan Xian. "I really like Xiao Ni." he wanted to say but found that he actually has nothing as a prove of his feeling.

"Watch out on you back." He said at the end, back to the game. Ji Cun Xi turns his back and fires his gun at the enemy at his back. "We are twenty-four already, why we still play this game." He mutters.

Apparently, no matter how mature they look like in the world's eyes, they are still a boy when four of them gather. All of their masks drop when they alone, holding a console stick and play a game.

Even the most mature Jian Jun.

"You are the one who suggesting this." Jian Jun said, rolling his eyes. He is the one who bought the player over, must have planned it from the start!

"Then what do you want? acting like a bunch of old men sipping wine while talking about business? so depressing?!"

"I hate my life." Guan Xian being grumpy, killing everyone in the group. Ji Cun Xi looks at him in disbelief. "You bitch! We almost win! You hate your life so why don't you kill yourself?"

Ji Cun Xi, being extra like his is usually run to vent his frustration. "You! You! You! ARGHH!!!"

"Boring." Jian Jun said, restarting the game over. Wang Kai drops his console, stands up to sit beside Guan Xian. Guan Xian look at him in the disgusted and angry face, clearly write 'I'm-angry-you-have-to-coax-me-!'

"Give you twenty percent of my shares in Locason." he said seriously. Guan Xian enlarged his eyes, as well as Cun Xi. "You have Locason shares? I thought It was a corporated company?" Guan Xian forgets about his fury at the mention of Locason.

"I own eighty percent of it." Wang Kai answers without any guilt. Jian Jun shakes his head. "chivalry is dead, friendship is meaningless, capitalism reign." Ji Cun Xi sat on the corner looking really depressed.

Guan Xian lowered his head, thinking the profit he would make if he got the twenty shares. Then he frantically shakes his head. "Hey! Do you think you can buy our friendship and my sister with money?"

Guan Xian look angry as he grip Wang Kai's collar, then punch him in the face. "Fair enough." Jian jun commented with a flat face. Wang Kai didn't retaliate Guan Xian's punch, he calmly accepted it.

Wang Kai felt a sting of bruised in his handsome face, "Swear, won't hurt your sister again." he makes three fingers up in the air. Guan Xian still not convinced, refuse to look at Wang Kai.

"5 percent of CGH under Xiao Ni's name?" Wang Kai makes his offer again.

"You have shares in CGH too?" Jian Jun can't hold his tongue. Just how rich this man can be? He basically owns one of the most famous and secure banks in the world by having a share in CGH.

Wang Kai throws a weird look at three of them, saying are we really a friend? "My mother is a Carrington?" He wipes the little blood in the corner of his lips.

Wang Mei Cia, his mother is from the famous Carrington family, Wang Kai thought at least Guan Xian knew about this. But looking from his dumbfounded expression, he just found it out now.

It clicks something on their mind. The Carrington has a long business dynasty, centered in New York. Written on the history books and most of books or papers about business mentioning them.

"I knew you are rich, but I don't know you are that rich!" Guan Xian grins ears to ears, throwing his hand around Wang Kai's shoulders. Maybe because he has vent half of his frustration, he finally turn a little bit normal.

Jian Jun look at Wang Kai who really has forgotten his dignity. The Wang Kai he knew, wouldn't let anyone become his superior, moreover give anyone a chance to punch him. He thought at least he has a normal friend in this community of four. Now looking at how Wang Kai has dropped anything just because of love... he suddenly felt love is pretty very dangerous...

Guan Xian laughs, Wang Kai followed after, like a stiff idiot. Ji Cun Xi and Jian Jun shudder. Just how much Wang Kai willing to lower his pride?

"You jerk! are you even not letting your family corporation go?" Guan Xian tightens his arm around Wang Kai's neck. Wang Kai releases himself with one move. "I planned to make it to pressuring my grandfather, in case he wanted to separate me from Xiao Ni, that's why I kept it a secret."

"Fool!" Jian Jun make his remarks, holding back his controller and played by himself. Ji Cun Xi walks to approach them, finally. "Alright, alright, this is getting depressing. What about poker? let's play poker." he suggested.

Guan Xian is not in his mood. Although he has drunk a few mouthfuls of wine, he still thinks that he needs more. Alcohol suits very well with a broken heart.

Wang Kai is still concerned about Xiao Ni and Jian Jun is too mysterious, can't get through his mind. In the end, they sat there sipping a glass of wine and talk about business.

"Eh, I wonder, has Xiao Ni remember everything about Wang Ru and that accident?" Ji Cun Xi suddenly pops up the question while sipping his wine.

Wang Kai looks at Guan Xian too, asking for the answer. He always wanted to ask about this question but afraid it would trigger Xiao Ni thus he didn't dare. Guan Xian sipping his wine smirk.

"She does, thanks to you." He glares at Wang Kai. Wang Kai's face turns grim, back at his flat expression. "Then why she still help Wang Ru?"

The grip on Wang Kai's glass tightens, Guan Xian smiles. "If you can get a second chance, why can't he get one too?"

Hah! eat that vinegar! serve your right, making me angry all night long!

Ji Cun Xi groans, "Can we stop about all of this, Xiao Ni this, Xiao Ni that? Thank God I don't have any sister!"

Depressing indeed.

"Look at them, look at them." Wang Kai can hear mother Guan's voice talking to someone from outside the house. Wang Kai just steps out from his car in front of the Guan family big house.

"Why don't you send the picture to me! Aiya, I miss such a great event." another woman's voice can be heard from inside. A familiar voice that he has heard from the first time he was born.

"Hahaha, look at them, I'm sure we will be in law, it just a matter of time!" mother Guan said with a happy voice. Wang Kai smiles at her future mom-in-law positive thought and nods his head slightly.

"Sigh... I just hope that Wang Kai is not that stupid. How can you treat a girl like that? embarrassing her in front of everyone. Even my heart hurt for Xiao Ni! I almost didn't dare to look at you again."

Mother Guan laughs. "Actually, you can't blame Wang Kai for that. Although he said nothing, actually my father-in-law is the one who against the actress profession. You know it's a taboo at his time for someone working as an actress. People's views at that time are rather conservative."

"I know but Xiao Ni is such a great actress. Moreover, under Guan Xian and Wang Kai's eyes, there will no one dare to scheme against her." Wang Kai have a step at the entrance when he heard his mother said so.

"It's alright, Xiao Ni can always win against her grandpa and dad, you don't have to worry about it." Mother Guan return his happy face.

"Mom, aunty Guan." Wang Kai called them as he walks to the living room. His mother turns back her body to look at Wang Kai with a happy face. "Son! what are you doing here?"

Wang Kai had a faint smile in his handsome face. "I've something to talk to grandfather Guan."

Mother Guan look at Wang Kai with a surprised look. Not like grandfather Wang, grandfather Guan has completely hands-off every business at Guan Xian and Guan Lin Yi. So for Wang Kai searching for grandfather Wang, at most, he wants to talk about something personal.

about Xiao Ni?

"What to discuss about? don't tell me... you want permission to marry Xiao Ni?" Mother Guan almost jump out from her seat because she saw Wang Kai's blushing.

Mother Wang widens her eyes, "really?"

Wang Kai shook his head, "It's not about it, I'm still working to make her forgive me."

Line of disappointment written on Guan Qian Si and Wang Mei Cia's face. Mother Wang waves her hand, "go then, no need to sit here anymore."

"..." Wang Kai was dumbfounded.

"Then I'll take my leave first," he said standing up from the cream couch. Mother Guan look at him with bright eyes and nod her head in agreement.

Wang Kai makes his way towards father Guan's working office. The reason why he comes here today is to discuss Xiao Ni's job. After hearing that Xiao Ni still wanted to be in film industries, he decided to help her talk to grandfather Guan.

He thought that he could be the warrant so she could have grandfather Guan permission.

In the hallway on the second floor, his phone rang. Wang Kai reaches out of his phone on his black suit, accepting the call with poise pose.

"Boss! Bad things happen! Someone make a whole blog and threw dirty mud at Xiao Ni. Now everybody is attacking her Weibo..."

Wang Kai eyebrow furrows, she didn't even appear in the spotlight these few months. All of sudden somebody decided to mess with her?

"What about it?" Wang Kai asked for deeper information, turning his direction back to the entrance door.

Forget about the deal, there is no way grandfather Guan can believe him if something like this happens.

"They are saying Miss Guan is a spoiled rich young missy who likes to bullies another actress, acting like a diva in the set and no one dare to scold her because of her identities." Han Li choked, clearly didn't dare to say the last sentence.

Wang Kai let a low growl, "Say!" he command.

Han Li swallow his own saliva before finishing his sentence. "They say no wonder... everyman dumped her..."

Wang Kai's gaze turns dark as he storms off to his car. He even ignores his mother and his future mother-in-law.
