Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Clothes Have Fallen
The entire barbecue restaurant was startled; people turned their heads one after another to look. They saw Luan Xiaoyao’s skin that had been scalded by the boiling water instantly shrivel and swell up, looking as if it had been cooked, which was a sight so horrifying that it made onlookers shudder.
Aside from the initial scream of agony, Luan Xiaoyao was in too much pain to make any noise, and her beautiful face was twisted in agony.
Ye Xian and Pang Kai were both shocked and bewildered, but the first to react was Li Jiahua from the next table, “Quick, quick, quick, call 120 [the emergency number]!”
The barbecue restaurant’s waitstaff and the production crew ran over to handle the emergency, and the scene turned into chaos; Jiang Wanze and Cheng Jingshu hurriedly ran over from the back.
“Brother, are you alright?”
Bo Tingshen picked up a paper towel from the table and wiped his hands clean, bit by bit, then turned around and left.
Before leaving, Ye Xian seemed to see him glance at her again, sending a shiver through her whole body.
If she hadn’t seen wrong just now, that glass of water had been deliberately let go by the CEO.
It was water that had just been boiled, a full 100 degrees; she had poured it for him herself. The cup had a hollow middle, and its outer wall wasn’t even hot. She could hold it steady without any trouble, so how could he possibly have let it slip…
The more Ye Xian thought about it, the colder she felt down her spine, especially when she saw Luan Xiaoyao’s small leg with its flesh grievously mangled by the scald.
The ambulance arrived quickly, and Luan Xiaoyao was carried aboard. The dinner party disbanded unhappily due to the departure of the lead and the sudden incident…
Ye Xian was the last one to leave the barbecue restaurant. As she was about to leave with her bag, she saw a neatly folded men’s suit still inside a sealed plastic bag.
…Why did the CEO forget his clothes!
Atop the Fulton Hotel, Ye Xian pulled out the collar of the men’s suit from the sealed bag and typed the brand into the internet.
Holy crap, it was a private custom piece by the famous Italian designer TELANDUO, starting at over a million upwards.
With such an expensive item, she definitely had to return it.
But really, she didn’t want to see him again.
This man… was too damned ruthless, ruthless to the point that just thinking about it now made her feet go cold.
Even if Luan Xiaoyao was detestable and had made a move that offended him, did he need to be so savagely brutal?
For a girl, ruined skin was almost as good as a death sentence, wasn’t it?
Moreover, Luan Xiaoyao had merely brushed against his trouser hem and had met such a miserable fate. As for her… she had hugged his legs, held his hands, called him “brother” and “old fox,” and had even rolled her eyes at him to his face.
Ye Xian didn’t dare to think further. If she did, she would be scared down to her very hairs.
Better not return the clothes; he was so rich that he probably hadn’t even noticed that a piece of clothing was missing.
“Bonjour, Monsieur, je suis guchen et je vous souhaite la bienvenue…”
Back at home, Huihui watched the video of Ye Xian acting from the camera over and over again until finally, after who knows how many viewings, she made a decision.
In the ‘Chengjing Couple’ fan group, fans diligently clocked in and completed tasks as usual. Suddenly, an important message popped up: Huihui[group owner]has left the group. The group will automatically disband.
Three years ago, Jiang Wanze and Cheng Jingshu collaborated onscreen for the first time. With their talented and good looks, they drew all the attention, and rumors of them being engaged off-screen quickly gathered a large number of real-person CP fans, with Huihui being one of the most active among them.
Over two years, she organized many large-scale fan meetings for the Chengjing Couple and even went to the front lines to support the careers of Jiang Wanze and Cheng Jingshu, quickly becoming the leader of the ‘Chengjing’ CP fans. New members of the group looked up to her exclusively.
Now that she had left the group, it was almost shocking to the whole community.
