Chapter 1317: I Have Never Seen Someone So Shameless

Being scolded by Zhou Chengchen like that, the person couldn’t maintain his composure. He looked towards Xiao Rou, seeming to steady his mind: "Miss Zhou, I’m sure you’re aware of the situation between Rourou and me. We’re just ordinary people, not like you. You know what the housing prices in B City are like now. I just want to give Rourou a future."

Zhou Chengchen was at a loss for words, feeling that any insult thrown at this person would be an insult to those words.

How could he, after doing such disgusting things, still put on such a righteous facade and claim he was doing it to give his beloved a future?

Zhou Chengchen clenched her fists tightly, feeling she should just charge forward and give this person a beating.

But just as this thought flashed by, Xiao Rou suddenly rushed over and slapped him.

"I don’t want your future, a future like this I don’t care for."

Xiao Rou’s voice trembled terribly, making it obvious that she was crying again.

"Rourou..."

"You asked me to bring Cheng Chen over. I thought you realized your mistake and wanted to apologize. Never did I expect you to say this. I misjudged you, really misjudged you. Don’t use me as an excuse. You make me feel sick."

"Rourou, everything I did was for you, for us."

"Shut up! I don’t know you, I don’t know you."

Xiao Rou, who was always gentle, had never shown such anger before, even Zhou Chengchen witnessed this for the first time. By the time she spoke the last few words, Xiao Rou’s voice was choked to the point of being inaudible.

Yet she turned her head defiantly: "Cheng Chen, I’m sorry, I’m sorry."

She spoke, but Zhou Chengchen couldn’t make out a single word, as it was too choked, but she could guess.

In that moment, the burning fury within Zhou Chengchen dissipated considerably.

Luckily, luckily her friend was a clear-headed person.

Zhou Chengchen pulled Xiao Rou behind her protectively, coldly sneering: "You’re so smart, why didn’t you think of a better way? Didn’t you think the Zhou Family is omnipotent? Why didn’t you just ask me to give you a house then?"

"I..."

"Heh, didn’t you know what the Zhou Family is about? Then you should know, we Zhou Family lack everything but houses. Why didn’t you think of this directly? You wouldn’t have to rack your brains like this."

"I... I... I don’t want charity, I want to work hard..."

"Pfft, you want to work hard? Your idea of hard work is to take others’ hard-earned efforts and exchange them for illicit gains. Don’t insult the word ’hard work’."

At this point, the person’s expression finally changed. He looked at Zhou Chengchen, then at Xiao Rou, suddenly let out two laughs: "You all blame me? What’s wrong with wanting the girl I like to have a home? What’s wrong with wanting her to have a good life? This matter won’t really cause any substantial loss to Cheng Yi. If they’re upset, they can come over and beat me up to vent. Moreover, do you think I want this? How would a rich girl like you understand my struggles? How could someone like Xi Siyan, who always has good fortune, understand?"

Zhou Chengchen truly no longer wanted to speak with such a person; it was a waste of breath.

"Yes, you’re right, I don’t understand, and I don’t want to. This matter isn’t over. Since you think the Zhou Family is omnipotent, I’ll show you how omnipotent we can be."
