Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Xing Shu, You’re Too Awesome!
The Jin family was very influential in the capital. The scandal this time involved the most famous member of the Jin family—Jin Mo. When Chen Ru received the photographs, she was having high tea with a group of rich wives.
She was humiliated by their questions and left abruptly in embarrassment.
This was the first time she was so anxious to draw a clear line with Xing Shu!
Cheng Xingyang came back to his senses after being chastised by Chen Ru. He quickly corrected himself. “Mom, I was so mad at Xing Shu that I lost my head.
I really can’t take this lying down, so I wanted to exact revenge on her by getting married. ”
Chen Ru snorted coldly, her eyes sharp. “I’ve already come up with a plan for revenge. Don’t worry about this matter. As for the engagement, I’ll convince your father. As long as your father doesn’t object, your engagement with Xing Shu will be annulled immediately.” If Cheng Gang had not stopped her last time, this engagement would have been annulled long ago.
Cheng Xingyang heaved a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he was resentful. He felt as if he was about to lose something important. He let himself think about Xing Linlin and everything that had happened between them. Then, he nodded. “Okay.”
Meanwhile… After Xing Shu returned to her apartment, Nie Xi sent her a message. “OMG, Xing Shu! This is Jin MO? Do you know how difficult it is to date him? Many people in the Beijing upper-class circle are binge-watching the television dramas he wrote. But he’s too obsessed with his work. One year, he even went into seclusion in the mountains and forests in the pursuit of inspiration. He rarely attends gatherings, but you can actually invite him for a meal alone!”
Jin MO was the kind of person who would sacrifice anything for the sake of his work. Rumor had it that in order to write the script for a crime drama, he had even gone undercover in a South African crime organization.
Nie Xi exclaimed, “Xing Shu, you’re too awesome! First, it was Cheng Lang.
Then, it was Jin Mo. Which one of them isn’t better than that scumbag, Cheng Xingyang? Hurry up and annul the engagement to Cheng Xingyang. His d*ck has been ruined by Xing Linlin. He’s not worthy of you at all.”
When Xing Shu saw this, her face turned red. She was surprised by Nie Xi’s boldness. She took a look at the photograph sent by Nie Xi. The angle of the photograph was very tricky. Those who did not know better would really think that there was something going on between her and Jin Mo. She thought of what Cheng Xingyang had said about Jin MO and Jiang Yao, and quickly asked Nie Xi. However, Nie Xi did not know about the two of them either. Moreover, Jiang Yao had been like this since she came of age. There were countless men around her, but Nie Xi had never heard of Jiang Yao professing her love for anyone. However, one thing was certain Jiang Yao was a real player and very profligate. The scions in the Beijing upper-class circle all gave her a wide berth. There was a rumor that once upon a time, an elder of a family wanted a marriage alliance with the Jiang family. But, when the prospective bridegroom learned of the marriage proposal and that his prospective bride was Jiang Yao, the young man threatened to take his own life. The engagement was called off in the end.
Xing Shu could not figure out what was going on, so she shifted her attention to work. When she turned on her cell phone, she received a message from
Cheng Lang. There was only one word: “Document.”
For some reason, Xing Shu felt that Cheng Lang was not in a good mood.
Xing Shu spent the entire night preparing the document for MOOL. When she saw that Jin Yue was among the key personnel of MOOL, her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the online rumors were true—Cheng Lang was going to push the boat out for Jin Yue. This was probably the first time in Cheng Lang’a career that he made decisions based on feelings. She felt a little depressed, but she still completed the document. The next day, she sent the document over the first thing in the morning. But, Cheng Lang still did not reply after she had woken up from a sleep. She did not want to wait idly for his reply, so she did some cleaning around the apartment and saw her empty fridge.
Xing Shu put on her coat and was about to leave when she saw the news about Radiant Welfare Home. Her heart skipped a beat. She dropped everything and hurriedly drove to Radiant Welfare Home.
Radiant Welfare Home was not located in the city center it was a two-hour trip by car. It was already 9 p.m. when Xing Shu arrived. The scenery en route was very familiar. At the end of the long road was Radiant Welfare Home. The courtyard was still lit. A few slightly older children were sitting on the steps and sobbing. When they saw Xing Shu, their faces were instantly guarded. They stretched out their arms widely and blocked the door. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Xing Shu had only visited the welfare home during the first year when she started working. At that time, the children were especially enthusiastic.
However, now that they met again, there was only wariness in their eyes. Xing Shu came in a hurry and did not bring anything. She explained in a soothing tone, “I’m here to look for the director. What happened here?”
One of the boys sized Xing Shu up from head to toe. Seeing that she didn’t have any ill intentions, his eyes instantly turned red. “The director is injured. A few drunk men came here and suddenly started shoving us around. Fortunately, the director protected us.. Otherwise…”
