Chapter 252: Rejecting Simps

Seeing Zheng Qian now, Zhang Jian's teeth grit with hatred.

Why did he always run into this jinx, Zheng Qian, every time he asked Lu Shanshan out?!

At the same time, Zhang Jian felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Holy shit!

Zheng Qian was walking straight toward him.

Could he be looking to cause trouble for him?

At this moment, Zhang Jian suddenly remembered his father's repeated warnings and admonitions—never, absolutely never offend Zheng Qian!

Otherwise, the entire Kangming Shipping would be finished!

What should he do? What should he do?

Zhang Jian was anxious and burning with worry.

Only now did he remember.

When he had boldly asked Lu Shanshan out earlier, he had completely forgotten about this matter.

He thought he wouldn't run into Zheng Qian, but he ended up getting caught red-handed.

As for how things would end, it all depended on Zheng Qian's attitude toward Lu Shanshan.

If Zheng Qian thought Lu Shanshan was a bad woman, he naturally wouldn't do anything to him.

But...

Zhang Jian understood men!

He had the same mindset: even if he didn't want a woman, he wouldn't want anyone else to have her either!

Eating from one's bowl while eyeing the pot.

Many super-influential figures seemed righteous on the surface, but in reality, they all had this mindset.

Because Zhang Jian himself was exactly that kind of person.

"Y-Young Master Zheng..."

Zhang Jian hurriedly bowed his back and went up to greet Zheng Qian.

If he waited for Zheng Qian to speak to him first, he would be in too passive of a position.

His father had said that with Zheng Qian's power, a single phone call could ruin Kangming Shipping beyond redemption.

If his dad found out what he did today, he would definitely break his legs and drag him to Zheng Qian to beg for forgiveness.

Rather than letting things escalate to that point, it was better to bow his head and apologize to Zheng Qian early.

"Young Master Zheng, have a smoke."

Zhang Jian pulled out a pack of Chunghwa cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket, wanting to light one for Zheng Qian.

But Zheng Qian waved his hand, declining his cigarette.

"She can't stand the smell of smoke, so I won't smoke." Zheng Qian waved his hand, refusing Zhang Jian's offer.

Zhang Jian stole a glance at Song Yaxian.

Seeing their interactions...

Zheng Qian had already won Song Yaxian over!

Envy shone uncontrollably in Zhang Jian's eyes.

If Zhang Jian could sleep with a woman like her just once in this lifetime, he would be willing to give up ten years of his life!

Song Yaxian felt a stir in her heart.

Why was this man suddenly so gentle?

[Favorability +5]

Zheng Qian: ???

He really wanted to slap himself.

Just one sentence increased Song Yaxian's Favorability by 5 points.

Damn it, how much less money could he spend now!

What a massive loss!

If he had known, he would have taken Zhang Jian's cigarette. Maybe then Song Yaxian's Favorability would have dropped a bit.

"Young Master Zheng, please don't misunderstand about me and Lu Shanshan. Let me explain." Zhang Jian forced a strained smile onto his face.

"What does whatever is going on between you and Lu Shanshan have to do with me? I have no interest in pursuing anything with her," Zheng Qian replied coldly.

Slap, slap.

Zhang Jian slapped himself twice.

Only then did he realize he had said the wrong thing.

How could he bring up Lu Shanshan right in front of Song Yaxian!

"I'm sorry, Young Master Zheng. I spoke out of turn. I deserve this." Zhang Jian slapped his own face repeatedly.

Slapping himself now was nothing. If he didn't do it now, his dad would probably break his legs when he got home!

"I didn't come to hold you accountable. I just wanted to give you a friendly warning."

"Please go ahead, Young Master Zheng."

"Do you know how many women there are in the world?"

"?"

"Over three billion."

"Why do you have to go after someone like Lu Shanshan? Do you really think you can handle her?"

Zheng Qian's words completely woke Zhang Jian up!

Is this what a big shot is like?

Seeing things so clearly?

He hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

With his status, what kind of woman couldn't he find?

As long as he was willing to spend money, beautiful girls, school beauties, and even minor celebrities would throw themselves at him!

Thinking carefully about how Lu Shanshan treated him, she was clearly keeping him on the hook like a simp!

And he himself was no different from a simp.

Fuck!

Once Zhang Jian realized this, he cursed inwardly.

Damn it, how did he, a rich second-generation heir, unconsciously end up becoming a simp?

The feeling Lu Shanshan gave Zhang Jian was always that he was just a tiny bit away, and that he would get her very soon.

Isn't this exactly the dynamic between a goddess and a simp?

Keeping her distance, flirting back and forth, but never establishing a relationship.

It was just like the tricks used by players and green tea bitches who kept a pond of fish.

Except her status and position were slightly higher.

"Young Master Zheng, I understand! I can't be a simp!"

"Thank you for the guidance today, Young Master Zheng!"

Although Zheng Qian could be a bit of a rogue, he wasn't a bad person at heart. He didn't want to watch Zhang Jian get strung along like a simp by Lu Shanshan.

Every time he saw Zhang Jian, it was like seeing his former self.

That was why Zheng Qian couldn't help but come over to guide Zhang Jian, preventing him from being blinded.

Zhang Jian felt that Zheng Qian's words actually had two layers of meaning.

First, he genuinely didn't want him to be a simp.

Second, he was interested in Lu Shanshan but felt embarrassed to say so in front of Song Yaxian, which was why he used this method.

No matter which meaning it was, Zhang Jian felt that it was time to stay away from Lu Shanshan.

After finishing their conversation...

Zhang Jian got back into his car and immediately blacklisted Lu Shanshan without hesitation!

"Young Master Zheng, I'll head out first then. Have a safe trip back!"

Zheng Qian and Song Yaxian held hands and walked out of the parking lot.

"Isn't that Lu Shanshan your classmate?" Song Yaxian asked curiously.

"Yeah, she's my classmate."

It was precisely because they had been classmates for four years that he knew Lu Shanshan so well.

In fact, when Song Yaxian first met Lu Shanshan, she could tell she wasn't a good woman. However, out of respect for Zheng Qian, she had been too embarrassed to say it out loud at the time.

She hadn't expected Zheng Qian to think the same way.

After they reached the entrance of the venue, someone suddenly called his name from behind.

"Zheng Qian!"

A woman's voice.

Song Yaxian felt a pang of jealousy in her heart.

Which of Zheng Qian's female confidantes was it this time?

The two turned around to look.

It was none other than...

Jiang Yanran, who had been waiting for him at the venue entrance for a long time.

"You're really hard to wait for now. Even harder than Chairman Wang of Dawan Group."

Jiang Yanran knew that Zheng Qian didn't have a car in Jiangnan and had taken a taxi to the concert, so she found a spot where it was easier to hail a cab to wait for him.

She hadn't expected him to be so hard to wait for.

She didn't know that Zheng Qian had taken a detour to the parking lot to find Zhang Jian.

"Is there something you need?" Zheng Qian asked.

Jiang Yanran looked at the two of them still holding hands, and her brow furrowed.

She didn't even know why, but a strange hint of jealousy toward Song Yaxian suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Nothing much. Don't bother hailing a cab. I'll have my driver take you two back," Jiang Yanran said, pointing to the executive extended Maybach parked nearby.

Luxurious, prestigious, and high-class.

At a glance, it was clearly a vehicle owned only by big bosses.

Just sitting at the venue entrance for twenty minutes had attracted the gazes of countless men.

Some even secretly took photos to post on their Moments: [A chance encounter with the Great Beauty Jiang and her luxury ride].

"No need, I'll just take a cab. I can't accept such treatment."
