47: Chapter 47 Conflict

Fan Shengmei leaned into the mirror and observed carefully, feeling that the fine lines had faded significantly.

"Forget it, whatever. This Scum is both handsome and rich. I'm not losing out either."

Before long, Fan Shengmei sauntered out of the bathroom with a seductive gait. She didn't bother picking up the clothes scattered all over the floor and instead had the hotel send her a black Chanel suit.

Having just received money, she felt confident.

"Whew~"

After paying, Fan Shengmei felt a wave of exhilaration. The feeling was just slightly less intense than last night, but it was certainly comparable.

Money really is something that makes people unable to stop.

Fan Shengmei didn't know that Qu Xiaoxiao had seen her and Chen Cheng ever since they left the bar.

Chen Cheng knew Qu Xiaoxiao was there, so he naturally kept an eye on her.

However, Chen Cheng didn't care what she thought of him, so he didn't bother with any tricks like walking separately from Fan Shengmei.

Fan Shengmei bought some medicine at a pharmacy and was just about to go buy water when she suddenly thought of something and froze in her tracks.

"If I give birth to a son for him, wouldn't I be able to leverage the child for status?"

Fan Shengmei was stunned by her own idea. I really am clever.

She turned around and threw the emergency medicine she had just bought into the trash can.

...

On one side, Fan Shengmei was very satisfied with Scum, and on the other side, Chen Cheng felt the same about Great Beauty Fan.

A plus-size girl, simply perfect.

Chen Cheng only truly experienced the wonders of the red and blue buffs given by the master system last night.

Only someone of Fan Shengmei's age, with her voracious appetite, solid defenses, and long-standing thirst could handle it; an average person simply couldn't.

Scum didn't expect that Fan Shengmei was actually thinking about having a son for him.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't blame her.

As long as she's happy.

After all, for so many years, Scum had never caused an unwanted pregnancy.

This time, when passing by the breakfast shop, Chen Cheng learned his lesson. He called Ye Zhenzhen to confirm how many portions to buy before entering the shop.

Upon returning, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the people from 2202 staring nervously in the direction of 2203.

Yu Chuhui immediately saw Chen Cheng and shot him a resentful glare.

Chen Cheng also saw her look, but then he saw her mother.

Otherwise, he would have definitely pulled her aside to vent her resentment.

Glancing back at Yu Chuhui, Scum suddenly thought.

Damn, I gave Fan Shengmei fifty thousand right off the bat; should I compensate Yu Chuhui too?

Before he could think it through, Chen Cheng saw Lucy confronting Ye Zhenzhen and her cousin, Ye Fang.

"Don't come any closer!" Ye Zhenzhen shouted at Lucy while holding her homemade spray.

Apparently, Ye Zhenzhen's incompetent cousin had gone to stalk Lucy, ended up bumping into her, and now they had run into each other again, leading to him being recognized.

Ye Fang felt that Ye Zhenzhen's room didn't have any greenery, so he bought seven or eight pots from his goddess who runs a flower shop and brought them to Ye Zhenzhen.

Of course, sending greenery to his sister was mainly to bring business to his goddess.

Just as he was moving the flowers, he ran into Lucy, who was returning from her morning run.

"Why are you investigating me?" Lucy asked Ye Zhenzhen, her emotions running high.

Ye Zhenzhen was very embarrassed. "They were just worried that I might be in danger, that's why they looked into you."

"I'm telling you, don't touch my sister. If you have the guts, come at me!" Ye Fang, who had been forced to the ground by Lucy, shouted at her, trying to maintain a brave front.

You can't blame him for being cowardly; Lucy is a real female tyrannosaurus, and the average person really can't handle her.

"Oh, stop it."

Ye Zhenzhen was almost annoyed to death by this older cousin.

Chen Cheng took a fried dough stick and put it in his mouth, walked to the entrance of 2202, and handed another one to Yu Chuhui.

"Want some?"

"No!" Yu Chuhui curled her lips in annoyance.

This bad senior really loves watching the drama unfold; they're about to fight, and he's still in the mood to eat.

He Minhong frowned at Chen Cheng. "Brother Cheng, they're about to start fighting, how can you still eat?"

Chen Cheng didn't even pay attention to her and greeted Yu Chuhui's mother with a grin.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Chen Cheng, Xiao Yu and the others' neighbor. I live upstairs."

"You!" Seeing that Chen Cheng ignored her, He Minhong was suddenly choked with anger.

A day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace; Yu Chuhui's mother could at least be considered his mother-in-law, so he had to leave a good impression.

"Hello, hello." Mother Yu was a bit reserved.

"Auntie, have you had breakfast?" He said, making a move to offer Mother Yu breakfast.

"No need, no need," Mother Yu hurriedly declined; she had already made breakfast in the pot.

"Alright then," Chen Cheng said with a "disappointed" expression, his tone dropping a few octaves.

Mother Yu noticed Chen Cheng's expression.

Sigh, this child is truly honest.

Yu Chuhui, who was watching from the side, took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. She was really afraid she wouldn't be able to resist biting Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng wasn't in a hurry, but Zhu Zhe was. Seeing the situation, she was really afraid a fight would break out, so she hurriedly spoke up to stop them: "You two, calm down."

It was already chaotic enough; Ye Zhenzhen couldn't let Zhu Zhe and the others get involved too.

Seeing Chen Cheng, she felt much more at ease and said:

"Gigi, you guys stay out of this."

"You violated my privacy and even sent someone to stalk me at my company. What exactly do you want?" Lucy asked coldly, her voice icy.

Ye Zhenzhen felt like her head was about to explode. She looked distressed. "I can explain, but only if you calm down first."

Lucy also noticed Chen Cheng and immediately calmed down a bit. This person was Ye Zhenzhen's friend and certainly wouldn't be on her side. But to say she wasn't angry would be impossible. She stared at Ye Zhenzhen without changing her expression and said sharply, "What exactly did you find out?"

"You want me to say it out loud?" Ye Zhenzhen frowned. She already knew that Lucy was using a fake name at the company.

"Say it, then?" Lucy was still preparing to bluff Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen was suddenly full of question marks, not understanding what Lucy meant.

Say it so everyone knows, and she won't have to hide it anymore?

Ye Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "I found out..."

Chen Cheng exclaimed inwardly, why is this crazy girl not playing by the rules?

If you say it out loud, won't you two be sworn enemies forever?

Doesn't that affect my buddy's great dream?

He hurriedly walked over and interrupted: "Zhen Zhen, have you had breakfast?"

After speaking, he looked at Lucy. "Lucy, have you eaten?"

Lucy took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. You don't hit a smiling person; she forced a smile. "Not... yet."

"Then here you go," Chen Cheng stuffed several items—steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk—into Lucy's hands.

"You go back and take a shower first, and I'll have Zhen Zhen come find you in a bit." As he said this, Chen Cheng pointed to the beads of sweat on Lucy's forehead.

She had just finished running, and now, being highly tense, she was already covered in sweat.

Lucy pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and still agreed to Chen Cheng's words. "Okay."

Chen Cheng was Ye Zhenzhen's friend, and there was also that chubby cousin; if a real conflict occurred, she would be the one to suffer losses.

"Thank you," Lucy raised the breakfast in her hand, her smile less forced.

She actually didn't eat these things.

But Chen Cheng's approach was very heartwarming; it gave her a way out and guaranteed that Ye Zhenzhen would explain to her later.

"Whew~" Watching Lucy return to her room, the tense string in Ye Zhenzhen's heart finally relaxed.

Chen Cheng glanced at the onlookers at the entrance of 2202. "Those who want breakfast, come over to Zhen Zhen's."

When he called earlier, Ye Zhenzhen had asked Chen Cheng to buy enough for six people.

She knew that the people in 2202 usually bought breakfast on the road during workdays.

Having a chance to fleece Chen Cheng, how could Ye Zhenzhen let it pass?

Seeing food, He Minhong immediately forgot that Chen Cheng had ignored her earlier and shouted, "Yay, I'll come after I brush my teeth."

Saying this, she turned and went back to her room to wash up.
