Speaking of Yao Xue, Wang Jian's originally relaxed and casual expression suddenly became somewhat solemn.
Unexpectedly, a faint trace of guilt appeared on his face.
Wu Kun didn't dare to tease Jiang Cheng, so he instead patted Wang Jian's shoulder and complained, "Brother Wang, looking at you like this, I suddenly feel like you're not a scumbag, but rather a prodigal son returning home."
Hearing this, Wang Jian was first stunned, then reacted and pushed Wu Kun forcefully.
He cursed irritably, "Get lost, get lost, get lost!"
However, despite saying that, his slightly furrowed expression betrayed his true thoughts.
The interaction between the two caused a burst of laughter from the Young Ladies of the Atmosphere Group and the others.
Although Lin Qingxue, who was leaning against Jiang Cheng, laughed along with everyone,
her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Lu Chuan nearby.
For some reason, at this moment, an indescribable feeling of envy welled up in her heart.
She envied such pure and beautiful love.
But then she had a second thought.
Hadn't boys like Lu Chuan appeared by her side before?
But if it were her now, would she really be able to look at these people?
The answer was definitely no.
Some things seem beautiful, but in real life, they are defeated in a matter of minutes.
Moreover, she wasn't one of those children from wealthy families who came into this world purely to enjoy life and could afford not to care about money at all.
To only pursue one's heart and the things one likes.
On the contrary, she had always placed extreme importance on money.
One could even say she cared about it to an extreme degree.
Actually, the main reason was that she was the only daughter in her family.
Although her family's economic situation was average,
since she was a child, her parents had poured all their love and care onto her.
Because of this, whenever there was even a tiny chance to improve her parents' quality of life, Lin Qingxue would grasp it tightly without hesitation.
No matter what she had to pay for it, she was willing.
Things in this world are just like that; it's hard to reach perfection.
Fortunately, the Jiang Cheng she met wasn't a scumbag Second-generation rich like Wang Jian, who even made girls pay for hotel rooms.
If she had really met someone like Wang Jian,
Lin Qingxue probably wouldn't be able to smile right now.
Just now, she had also learned a bit about these Young Ladies from the Atmosphere Group sitting here.
Doing it once would earn them several thousand yuan.
Compared to when she used to work part-time at a milk tea shop, this price was already astronomical.
But everything suffers by comparison.
In the few months she had been with Jiang Cheng, the money she had received was already far beyond what a few thousand yuan could compare to.
If she were like them, how many times a month would she have to take clients to earn a million??
The number of times she spent with Jiang Cheng in a month wasn't that many.
If calculated according to the number of shifts these Young Ladies worked,
she might only need to work one day a month to earn double their monthly salary.
Everything she obtained by Jiang Cheng's side was at a height that these Young Ladies could never reach with their own income.
Although she knew that the women around Jiang Cheng were definitely many more than those around Wang Jian,
at the very least, one thing was certain: Jiang Cheng's treatment of her was sincere and without any falsehood.
Setting aside her mother's illness,
just in their daily chats, he would transfer money at the drop of a hat.
Not only did he give her money, but he also bought luxury goods without even blinking an eye.
The key point was that the house she lived in now was also arranged by Jiang Cheng.
So, what more could she be dissatisfied with?
If Jiang Cheng were as devoted as Lu Chuan,
then a gold-digging woman like her with poor conditions would probably have no chance of catching Jiang Cheng's eye at all.
And to be honest, even putting aside the radiant glow of wealth surrounding Jiang Cheng,
in reality, if she could meet a handsome and tall man like Jiang Cheng, she would definitely be moved.
Lu Chuan did not join in the laughter like everyone else.
Instead, he stared at his phone with a solemn expression.
Because he realized that everything seemed to be exactly as Jiang Cheng had said.
If Zheng Ziyi had met a Second-generation rich with a superior family background and prominent status like Jiang Cheng,
perhaps she wouldn't have been so hesitant.
She would probably have decisively abandoned him and thrown herself into that luxurious and wealthy embrace, right?
At this thought, Lu Chuan's heart felt as if it were being struck hard by a heavy hammer, the pain unbearable.
Lu Chuan murmured, "But she keeps messaging me, saying they only took photos at the hotel entrance, they didn't... she wants me to believe her one last time..."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh deeply again.
He secretly felt lucky that he possessed that magical privacy value scanning system.
Only then was he able to distinguish these hypocritical lies so clearly.
He gently patted Lu Chuan's shoulder and advised earnestly, "Take a word of advice from your brother; only women would believe phrases like 'just rubbing it in'..."
Recalling the scene Jiang Cheng had just described, Lu Chuan's eyes instantly became red and moist.
His voice trembled slightly, and with a trace of uncontrollable sobbing, he said, "Actually, the moment I saw the photo, I understood. I just didn't want to accept it..."
"It's not that you're not good, it's just that Zheng Ziyi isn't suitable for you. She has her own goals; you two aren't a match."
"I just don't understand. How did the 568 days we spent together lose to his one week..."
Jiang Cheng patted Lu Chuan's shoulder: "People change. She has already switched tracks. Don't follow behind her anymore. Take a word of advice from me: go out and take a look around, and maybe you'll find that there are many more who are better than her."
Jiang Cheng's words were quite subtle and tactful.
Lu Chuan was no fool; he naturally understood Jiang Cheng's words.
He silently bit his lip, nodded heavily, then reached out to grab that bottle of ace of spades on the table and gulped down a large mouthful without hesitation.
After drinking, he took a deep breath as if to spit out all his gloom.
He pulled out his phone and quickly sent a wechat to Zheng Ziyi: "Get lost~"
Seeing that Lu Chuan had finally accepted reality and taken everyone's advice to heart, everyone present breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that Lu Chuan had listened to their words,
everyone felt relieved.
When everyone gradually relaxed, the atmosphere at the scene became easy and comfortable.
They no longer interrupted Lu Chuan and Zheng Ziyi's chat and started doing their own things.
He saw Wang Jian actually starting to whisper into the ear of one of the Young Ladies from the Atmosphere Group.
And Wu Kun was also happily playing rock-paper-scissors with the young lady he had chosen.
Looking at the scene of hot dancing down on the dance floor, Lin Qingxue said to Jiang Cheng in a coquettish voice, "Hubby, shall we go dance together? I haven't done it before."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng nodded.
He took Lin Qingxue's hand and walked toward the dance floor.
Jiang Cheng held Lin Qingxue's slender and soft hand tightly as they walked toward the center of the dance floor.
The moment they stepped onto the dance floor, several Bodyguards in plain clothes quickly moved toward them.
These well-trained Bodyguards moved swiftly and inconspicuously.
They skillfully blended into the crowd and closely surrounded Jiang Cheng and Lin Qingxue, forming a human safety line for the two of them.
After all, this was Magic City.
In this prosperous city, whether it was a holiday or not, all the major bars were packed.
Especially these popular bars, which were often crowded shoulder to shoulder.
Not to mention the zero-distance existence on the dance floor; if some idiot drank too much, lost their mind, and accidentally bumped into Lin Qingxue, things would get serious.
The music in the bar was deafening, and colorful lights flashed.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and hormones.
In the intense and hallucinogenic atmosphere, the people on the dance floor twisted their bodies to the rhythm of the music, as if immersed in a world full of passion.
At this moment, Lin Qingxue leaned tightly against Jiang Cheng,
fully displaying her charming allure.
