Chapter 802 - 800: The Barrage Scam 22

[I can’t forgive Jiao Yu for what she did. Does she really think that by doing this, Dai Xuan will choose her in the future?]

[Even if he doesn’t choose her, the reward Dai Xuan gives her isn’t low. It can help her brother settle the current issues, and she could have a handsome reward and an opportunity to go abroad, completely escaping her original family. Not many can resist such temptation.]

Ah Chen took a sip of fruit wine and seemed to find the taste quite good, then drank the entire glass.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Jiao Yu looked drunk, and Ah Chen seemed drunk as well.

Finally, Dai Xuan finished his work and found them, suggesting to take them to a room upstairs to rest and later drive them home.

[It’s driving me crazy!]

[Ahhhhh, I heard in the original novel that Shen Muzhi would appear here. Why isn’t he coming?]

[Luckily, Shen Muzhi is a qualified male lead and always shows up during crucial moments; otherwise, the female lead would be done for.]

[Huh, at this time, shouldn’t Jiao Yu be getting up to leave the room, pretending to go to the bathroom?]

[Why does she seem asleep?]

[Is the plot changing again?]

[Shouldn’t Shen Muzhi be coming soon?]

Just then, Ah Chen sat up, looking somewhat drunk, rubbed her temples, then got up and left the room. Soon, she intercepted a server and asked him to get her a glass of plain water, which she drank while sitting in a corner.

Suddenly, there was a fierce door-banging sound coming from upstairs.

She poked her head out of the corner, seemingly curious about what was happening.

It seemed the alcohol had sobered her up quite a bit, as she followed the crowd upstairs and quickly squeezed into the front row, just in time to see Shen Muzhi grabbing someone and beating him.

In the original position, Jiao Yu was still lying there asleep, but her face was turned away from the door, so no one could tell who she was.

Only when Shen Muzhi had almost finished beating him did he approach Jiao Yu, intending to pick her up, finally realizing who she was, and was momentarily stunned.

"Where’s Xiao Chen?" He turned to the door, but his gaze locked onto the people from the Dai Family, particularly giving Dai Xuan a hostile look. The person who had burst into this room was Dai Xuan’s brother, a playboy rich kid, who was now curled up on the floor, holding his head and humming.

Dai Xuan was lamenting how Shen Muzhi had managed to show up, and upon being shouted at, he realized the person lying there was Jiao Yu, which also made him panic.

"Brother Muzhi, I’m here. I just went to find some water because I was thirsty. Did something happen here?"

Everyone turned their attention to Ah Chen.

Shen Muzhi quickly stood up and came to her, his expression softened, "It’s good you’re okay. I heard you accompanied a classmate to apply for a tutoring job today. I just happened to know the Qin Family and planned to come over and take you home," glancing at Dai Feng, who was holding his head on the ground, coldly, "I couldn’t find you, and upon inquiring, I learned you were drunk and resting upstairs. When I let someone bring me up here, I found Dai Feng in the room, ready to act inappropriately."

Given his status, once he decided to come here looking for someone, no one dared to stop him.

[Knowing the female lead wouldn’t be harmed, but each time Shen Muzhi appears like a guardian angel, it’s still very touching.]

[This is why he’s the male lead, more reliable than that guy Shen Muyang.]

[Shen Muyang is probably out playing with someone, isn’t he?]

"As long as it’s okay, that’s good." Ah Chen’s gaze swept over Dai Feng on the ground, then Dai Xuan, and finally Jiao Yu still sleeping.

[According to this situation, the female lead probably doesn’t know the truth yet.]

[Really don’t want to see Jiao Yu continuing to be friendly with the protagonist, she might harm the protagonist again someday.]

[Relax, Shen Muzhi is so smart, in the original he’s already aware something isn’t right, he will definitely investigate thoroughly.]

[Yes, trust Shen Muzhi, he’ll soon uncover the truth behind it all.]

"It’s good to be okay; it was a misunderstanding earlier. Dai Feng, this brat, needs to be taught a lesson." Father Dai walked over and gave Dai Feng a slap, "Little bastard, it’s one thing to mess around outside, but you dare to mess at home too? You need to be properly disciplined today."

Shen Muzhi wouldn’t fall for this; he laughed coldly, "President Dai, things can’t be that coincidental, right? The person originally supposed to be sleeping here should be Xiao Chen, correct?"

Shen Muzhi directly exposed it, making Father Dai’s face difficult, yet he stubbornly asked, "I don’t know what President Shen means? It was just a misunderstanding earlier; Dai Feng, this rascal, doesn’t learn well."

"Whether it’s a misunderstanding or something else, let the evidence speak for itself."

"Everyone please stay here as witnesses. If it really is a misunderstanding, then I, Shen Muzhi, will apologize to everyone here."

Shen Muzhi stated this conspiracy so plainly, making Father Dai want to end it but unable to find a way out; if he tries to stop it, wouldn’t that show he’s guilty?

He believed everything was handled very well, that nothing could be quickly uncovered, and thus remained calm.

Who knew Shen Muzhi would suddenly say, "Actually, the reason I came here today is because I heard some news."

Father Dai’s face turned unpleasant once again, did Shen Muzhi have some evidence?

Ah Chen approached Jiao Yu and had someone bring sobering soup to feed her.

[Did Jiao Yu really conspire against me with them?]

[Will Brother Muzhi uncover all the truth?]

[I realized this earlier; the bullet comments mentioned Brother Muzhi would come, so I came today, left the room pretending to find water at a critical moment, just in case. When I heard the commotion and went upstairs, seeing Brother Muzhi fighting Dai Feng, I couldn’t believe Jiao Yu anymore.]

[Why did all this happen?]

[Why does Jiao Yu want to harm me? Aren’t we good friends?]

Shen Muzhi walked to Ah Chen’s side and, before Jiao Yu could wake up, suddenly said, "Xiao Chen, sometimes you shouldn’t trust the people around you too much."

The voice was cold, but concern could be heard.

Ah Chen looked up at Shen Muzhi, "Even Brother Muzhi as well?"

Shen Muzhi paused, then nodded affirmatively, "That’s right, even me; don’t easily believe anyone completely."

[For Brother Muzhi to say this, it seems he’s truly thinking about my well-being.]

"Actually, before coming here, I heard some news about Jiao Yu. Someone sent me a recording, it’s between Jiao Yu and Dai Xuan." Shen Muzhi spoke loudly, Dai Xuan standing in the corner turned pale upon hearing this.

Ah Chen was just about to ask what the recording was when Jiao Yu slowly woke up.

Noticing the room full of people, with Ah Chen sitting beside her, and a frighteningly cold Shen Muzhi, she suddenly realized something and instinctively looked at her own dress.

It was perfectly intact, and she sighed in relief.

What’s going on?

It seemed the plan didn’t work out.

Seeing the situation in front of her, things seemed amiss; she bit her lip lightly.

"Qiao Chen, what’s going on?" she asked, while secretly glancing at Dai Xuan, only to see that the color in Dai Xuan’s face hadn’t recovered yet, making her heart sink.
