Chapter 221 Sister Xuejiao’s acting skills are off the charts



Hua Xuening was nervous. "Sister Shiyin, why are you here? Didn't we agree to give me a day?"

Luo Shiyin gently brushed Hua Xuening's hair, and Hua Xuening immediately lowered her head like a well-behaved little sister.

Luo Shiyin asked softly, "Is Mr. Lu treating you well?"

"Yes, he's very good to me."

Luo Shiyin's heart stirred.

This girl, so firm and resolute, it seems Lu Chengwen does have some tricks up his sleeve.

Women are most perceptive of such matters.

Men can be clueless sometimes, like Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen was shrewd at times, but at other times he could be unbelievably dense, especially when it came to women.

He was rather slow in this regard.

But between women, a subtle gesture, a simple sentence, an unintentional expression... they could read each other's minds.

This Hua Xuening was clearly completely smitten with Lu Chengwen, already deeply fallen. If she wasn't pulled back now, there would be no chance later.

This strengthened Luo Shiyin's resolve.

She had to win over Lu Chengwen! Even if it meant using her most powerful techniques!

Lu Chengwen said into the phone, "I have to go, I have a guest."

Xu Xuejiao also encountered a situation on her end. Long Aotian came to chat with her.

Xu Xuejiao immediately put on a straight face and asked, "Is it a woman?"

Lu Chengwen was taken aback. "Yes."

"Lu Chengwen, how many women are you going to mess with before you're satisfied? Am I not enough for you?"

Lu Chengwen sensed something was wrong. "No, it's Luo Shiyin, nothing is going on between us."

"Don't give me that! I'm not a three-year-old child! Lu Chengwen, I'm so disappointed in you! No wonder Mengyun broke up with you, you really are a dog who can't change his eating habits!"

Lu Chengwen watched Luo Shiyin talking to Hua Xuening, his mind racing.

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

His words had a double meaning. On the surface, he was expressing anger, but the underlying meaning was: Are you pretending to be angry on purpose?

Xu Xuejiao understood and immediately replied, "Yes! That's right! You can still understand what I'm saying, which means you still have a brain!"

Lu Chengwen understood and started to play along. "I'm warning you, Xu Xuejiao, you've been messing with me a lot lately! Don't think the world revolves around you, I, Lu Chengwen, can live just fine without you!"

Xu Xuejiao "got into character" as well.

"Lu Chengwen! From today onwards, you go find your Leng Qingqiu, Mengyun and I will never pay attention to you again! It's not like I, Xu Xuejiao, can't get married, that I have to have you. I can live a good life without you!"

Lu Chengwen roared, "Then why the hell are you calling me? Don't you dare bother me again!"

"Get lost!"

"Fine, I will!"

Luo Shiyin narrowed her eyes and asked Hua Xuening, "Why is he so angry?"

Hua Xuening, unaware of the situation, simply said foolishly, "He's been losing his temper a lot lately. He's lost a lot of money, and now people are after him for it every day. He's under a lot of pressure."

Luo Shiyin nodded.

Of course, she knew what Lu Chengwen was currently doing, and she knew how terrifying the burn rate of the Chengwen District construction project was.

For someone like Lu Chengwen, it was perfectly normal for him to lose his temper with this kind of money-burning approach.

"Shouldn't he be trying to coax Xu Xuejiao into helping him out financially?"

Hua Xuening was taken aback. "You're right! You're right!"

Lu Chengwen hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa, lit a cigar, put on his sunglasses, and cursed under his breath, "Damn it, always causing trouble for me."

Luo Shiyin strolled over. "What's got you so riled up, Mr. Lu?"

"Oh, Miss Shiyin." Lu Chengwen said casually, "Please, have a seat. It's nothing, just a minor business matter. You're here on business, I presume?"

"The Young Master said you promised to give him that plot of land, and he asked me to come and finalize it."

"Oh, that plot of land..."

On the other side.

Xu Xuejiao saw Long Aotian quietly approaching her room from the reflection of her phone screen.

She told herself, stay calm, time to show what I'm made of!

Xu Xuejiao slapped him again. "Jerk!"

Long Aotian covered his face with one hand and stopped her with the other. "Okay! You don't have to let it all out."

"See, you say one thing and do another, you're not sincere at all. Go away, just go!"

Long Aotian thought to himself, this girl... she's a wildcat!

Addicted to hitting people!

Who wants to play with you, go play by yourself.

I got slapped three times for nothing. What a joke.

He turned to leave, and as he reached the door, Xu Xuejiao's cries reached him.

"Sob... sob... I'm so pathetic, sob... Men are heartless... sob..."

Long Aotian took a deep breath in frustration and turned around.

"Xuejiao, what exactly happened between you and Lu Chengwen?"

Xu Xuejiao said, "He... He's not human! He toyed with me!"

"What!? How dare he! How did he toy with you?"

Xu Xuejiao blushed. "He... he got a bunch of weird stuff, said... they were toys, wanted me to play along..."

Long Aotian gritted his teeth. "That scum!"

Xu Xuejiao cried, "I'm a virgin! How could I do that? Those things, I couldn't even bear to look!"

"Of course, of course."

"I was so embarrassed when I saw those things, how could I possibly play along with him?"

"Exactly!"

"And it was my first time, he wanted me to do that, wouldn't I... wouldn't I become a slut? How could he bully me like that?"

"Beast!"

"I refused, and he said I was a killjoy, that I had no sense of romance, and he even said..." Xu Xuejiao started crying again, "He said I was useless! Sob..."

Long Aotian gritted his teeth. "I'm going to kill him!"

"No, Brother Aotian! I..."

Xu Xuejiao lowered her head. "Although he treated me badly, he was my first boyfriend, my first love. I don't want things to end so ugly and unbearable."

Long Aotian was moved. She was so pure and innocent!

Xu Xuejiao gave a bitter smile. "I used to be so proactive with him. It seems I made a mistake. Maybe someone like me doesn't deserve that kind of... love that girls dream of."

"No! Xuejiao! Don't say that about yourself! It's Lu Chengwen who's in the wrong!"

Long Aotian said passionately, "I promise, from now on, I will treat you like my own sister, and I will never let that scum, Lu Chengwen, hurt you again!"

"You... why are you being so nice to me? I... I even tricked you before."

"That's nothing! A man should be forgiving and magnanimous! A man who can't forgive a woman's mistakes isn't a real man!"

Xu Xuejiao's eyes widened as she looked at Long Aotian. Their eyes met, a spark igniting between them.

Long Aotian slowly moved closer to Xu Xuejiao. Xu Xuejiao suddenly turned away. "You... you're being silly."

There's a chance!

Long Aotian was secretly delighted!

He took Xu Xuejiao's hand. "Xuejiao, don't you know how I feel about you?"

Xu Xuejiao blushed. "I don't! You men are all bad."

"But I'm a gentleman, you know that."

"Really?"

"I swear to heaven!"

"Then... can you help me with something?"

"Anything! As long as I can do it!"

Xu Xuejiao looked at Long Aotian. "I want to be the CEO.
