Chapter 233: Gave Su Chengyan a Slap!
“Li Beijue gave you money, didn’t he?” Su Chengyan’s face was ashen, as if he had been cuckolded!
In fact, Su Chengyan also felt as though he had been cuckolded.
Ever since he returned to the country and encountered Chi Enen and Li Beijue together at the airport, he’d been unable to shake off this feeling. Later, when Chi Enen announced at the Chi family that she was married, he determined to investigate deeply.
The more he investigated, the stronger the feeling became.
Chi Enen’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe her ears! She thought that even if they were not together, they were at least friends who understood each other. Yet Su Chengyan dared to ask her such a question!
Su Chengyan, in immense pain, pressed down on her shoulder, his cheek muscles twitching, his words coming out slowly and deliberately, “How much did he give you?”
“Does he pay you monthly, or did he pay a lump sum to buy you off?”
He pressed her relentlessly, as if to force a number out of Chi Enen.
Chi Enen was almost amused by his absurdity, she retorted, “What business is it of yours!”
She actually admitted to being kept. A trace of disappointment flashed in Su Chengyan’s eyes, and his anger flared even more. He suppressed his rage as if he’d made a decision, and suddenly spoke up, “What he gave you, I can give too! Enen, come back to me!”
Chi Enen, as if seeing him for the first time, found strength from somewhere and pushed away the man pressing down on her shoulders. She raised her hand and swung— a slap flew across—
Su Chengyan’s head jerked to the side from the slap.
Chi Enen gripped the strap of her bag, her eyes turned ice-cold, but her back remained straight, “Su Chengyan, you can’t afford what he gives me! And even if you could, 1 wouldn’t want it! Don’t come looking for me again!”
Having said that, she turned and walked away.
The burning pain on Su Chengyan’s left cheek was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
The thing he offered that she didn’t want?
Why not… just because of Li Beijue?
He slumped against the edge of a wall, slowly slid down, and clenched his fist tightly…
It all came down to Li Beijue in the end…
Chi Enen entered her home, still furious.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got— until she reached the peak of her anger and felt somewhat powerless.
She knew that Su Chengyan was just the beginning. There would be countless ‘Su Chengyans’ questioning her real relationship with Li Beijue. Some might even be nastier!
Chi Enen dropped her bag on the sofa and took a deep breath.
No matter what, since she had made a commitment, she would face it bravely! Let them say what they will, as long as her conscience was clear, that’s all that mattered!
Her mobile phone in the bag began to vibrate.
Chi Enen took out her phone only to see the words “Paranoid” flickering on the screen non-stop.
It was a text message.
Why was Li Beijue sending her a text message? Hadn’t they just parted ways?
Chi Enen curiously opened the text message.
—I’ve decided; I’ll still come for dinner at your place tonight!
Chi Enen’s corner of the mouth twitched, and her fingers typed quickly on the screen, ready to send a text back. But after a moment’s thought, she decided to call him instead.
Talking on the phone would clarify things better.
She redialled Li Beijue’s phone number.
After more than ten rings, the call was finally answered.
Knowing he was busy, she didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point, “Li Beijue, didn’t we agree not to come over to my place for dinner tonight?”
Is she that afraid of Bae Chi seeing him? Li Beijue on the other end of the phone sounded slightly annoyed as he stated firmly, “I’ve moved to a new place; can’t 1 visit the neighbors next door? Besides, I’m The Neighbor Old Wang now, not his dad! It’s just a dinner, not a family reunion!”
The jealousy was palpable, even through the microphone, she could smell it.
“That settles it, I’ll head back as soon as I finish my work, gotta hang up now!”
And with that, he didn’t even give her the chance to refuse before he hung up the phone.
Forceful and domineering to the extreme!
