Chapter 107: Closing the Net

Chapter 107 Closing the Net

He Feifei's face turned a little wanted to use this incident to nail me to the pillar of shame for "cheating for scholarships", but if someone really treated me to a meal, then none of this would make sense.

This is certainly not the result that He Feifei wanted to see.

I saw the corners of her mouth twitching a few times, and the smile on her face suddenly became forced.

The girl next to her was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "What kind of business can you discuss with others? And in a place like that?"

I was about to answer when He Feifei beside me suddenly said, "Cancan, if you did something wrong, just admit it. Why bother making up lies to deceive others?"

I looked her straight in the eye and said, "It seems that you don't want me to make money?"

He Feifei looked unhappy: "Cancan, what do you mean?"

I shrugged. "Normally, if I told him that someone wanted to discuss a big deal with me, and Mr. He was always so concerned about me, shouldn't he ask me whether the deal was successful and whether it could solve the current difficulties? Why did he keep telling me not to lie and think I was lying?"

He Feifei was choked by my question, but her little follower reacted faster.

"How can you, a newcomer to City X, do business with others? Don't tell me you've been exposed and are making up stories! Do you have any evidence?"

Finally, he came to me for evidence.

I certainly wouldn't be without evidence.

The moment I posted on WeChat Moments, I had already thought about what I would face today, so I was naturally not unprepared.

The two intimate selfies of Chu Yucheng and I can prove that I didn’t go to dinner alone.

It makes perfect sense that the youngest son of the Chu Group invited me to dinner at Lan Kwai Fong.

Although I don’t really like falling into the self-proving trap, now that I have the evidence, it should be fun to watch them get slapped in the face.

I wonder what He Feifei’s expression would be when I showed her those two intimate selfies?

I'm really looking forward to it.

I had already taken out my phone, unlocked it, and was waiting to find the photos.

"I invited her to dinner."

Chu Yucheng pushed through the crowd and strode towards me.

He was wearing pure white casual sportswear, and probably because he was tall, from a distance he looked like a white crane.

The white crane flew through the crowd and finally stopped in front of me.

To be precise, he stopped between me and He Feifei. He stood there with his back straight, blocking He Feifei from my sight.

Like a hen protecting her chicks.

Although I really don't want to use such an adjective to describe myself, this is the first feeling that comes to my mind.

I paused flipping through the photo album on my phone. To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Ever since Chu Yucheng got drunk and passed out in front of me last time, hasn't he been feeling embarrassed and avoiding me?

This is not the most surprising thing. He has always told me not to go against He Feifei. I thought he would stand idly by or even deny it. But now he actually intervenes to help me, which is what surprised me the most.

"I do have a business deal I want to discuss with Su Cancan, so I invited her to have dinner at Lan Kwai Fong. As for what business we want to discuss, it involves the next project to be developed by the Chu Group, so it needs to be kept confidential for now. Feifei, you won't disbelieve what I say, right?"

Chu Yucheng told everything in the simplest terms in one breath, and then he stood between me and He Feifei, not moving.

Perhaps, in everyone's eyes, Chu Yucheng's rescue of me was a timely help, but in my opinion, it was a bit presumptuous.

This way, my photos seem to be useless.

I'm still waiting to see the wonderful expression on He Feifei's face! He Feifei is now on the field. If she takes a step forward, she will appear aggressive, but if she takes a step back, she will be unwilling.

She spent so much money today and made such a big fuss, but in the end not only did she fail to ruin my image, but she also seemed to be mean to me.

I peeked from behind Chu Yucheng and saw her chest heaving up and down. It was obvious that she was about to explode with anger.

Seeing that I dared to show up, He Feifei couldn't help but pointed at me and said, "Brother Chu, you..."

I raised my eyebrows and took out my phone and shook it at her: "Don't you believe it? I took more than two photos when I went to dinner that day! Do you want me to show you?"

Please, please tell me you want to see it!

I am secretly looking forward to it.

Before He Feifei could say anything, my hand suddenly felt light and my phone was snatched away.

I looked in the direction where my phone was taken away, and saw Chu Yucheng holding my phone, staring at me with deep eyes, as if he was going to eat me up the next moment.

I don’t know why, but I feel a little guilty.

Does he know what the photos in my phone are?

Eh, how is that possible? He was clearly unconscious in sleep that day, how could he have known.

I wanted to take the phone back from Chu Yucheng, but he held it tightly in his hands. Unfortunately, he underestimated my strength and I didn't hold back.

I pulled the phone out hard, dragging Chu Yucheng a few steps with me.

The phone successfully landed in my hands, but——

I crushed the phone screen.

Me: …Did I use that much strength?

I was really impressed. Now I couldn't show He Feifei the photos.

"That's enough! I believe you, no need to look!" He Feifei suddenly said, "I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time, and I'm sorry for doubting classmate Su Cancan. Let's have dinner first! After dinner we still have group games!"

The crowd of onlookers dispersed and everyone focused on enjoying the food again. Soon, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Only me, Chu Yucheng and a cell phone with a broken screen were left.

My face looked bitter. It's really inconvenient not having a mobile phone these days.

"Sorry, I'll compensate you." Chu Yucheng stared at the phone in my hand and proposed a solution: "I'll ask Uncle Xu to buy a new phone and send it over later. You can give me your phone first. I'll send it directly to the factory for repair, which will be faster."

"Thank you very much." Of course I had no reason to refuse.

I wanted to leave and have dinner, but I didn't expect Chu Yucheng to follow me.

He didn't eat or talk, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?" I asked unhappily.

Chu Yucheng opened his mouth several times, but in the end no question came out.

"You have something to tell me?"

"Ah."

"But it's not convenient to talk about it here?"

"Ah."

I shrugged and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'm hungry now and need to eat."

"You eat your food, I won't bother you."

Me: “…Won’t you affect me by doing this?”
