After she walked a certain distance, Shi Yu reminded her, "Password, your birthday."
The music on the dance floor was deafening, but Shen Cheng unexpectedly heard that deep voice full of charisma.
She couldn't even remember her own birthday, yet that guy could find out?
Watching Shen Cheng's silhouette fade away, the bartender furrowed his brows in puzzlement...
He speculated that the woman was someone Mr. Shi had set his eyes on—
Spent a fortune just to make her smile, but unfortunately, she's a cold beauty.
While making these secret guesses, he also felt relieved that he hadn't done anything outrageous earlier, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.
He recalled a year ago, someone recklessly swore in his presence, and the next day, that person became a cripple.
Half a year ago, a media outlet wrote that he was gay, and the next day, the newspaper company went bankrupt.
Three months ago, someone scraped his car while driving, and the next day, the person who claimed to be a car company CEO announced bankruptcy.
A month ago, a reporter secretly took photos of him sleeping, and the next day, the handler of those photos was tied up and thrown into the Hunting Ground to run naked with wolves—!
No one knew what happened to those people afterwards.
*————
Staring fixedly at the gold card on the table, Shen Zhongming moved it slightly from time to time without blinking an eye.
"Girl, was this given to you by someone?" he tentatively asked.
"No."
Apparently, that person never mentioned giving her the gold card.
"Did you cheat someone for it?" Shen Zhongming asked again.
"No."
"Then... it couldn't have been stolen!" Shen Zhongming was startled, "Girl, even swindlers have professional ethics, you can't just steal things randomly!"
"Can't you say something nice?"
"Why don't you just tell Dad where you got this gold card from? Why leave me guessing here blindly!" Shen Zhongming was extremely conflicted.
"Who asked you to guess?" Shen Cheng furrowed her brows, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"It does..." Shen Zhongming pointed to an undefined object at the door, "The door is broken like that, we need to take money out of this card to buy a new door, otherwise where would I find you if someone steals you away in the middle of the night?"
"Get lost."
"Not saying, huh... then I'll go back to my room to sleep..."
"Hey—" Watching his back, Shen Cheng rolled her eyes, "Come back."
As if knowing she would call for him, Shen Zhongming turned around with a bright smile, "Silly girl, doesn't your dad know your ways..."
Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "When's my birthday."
"XXXX Year, September 8th."
Without a second thought, Shen Zhongming answered the question.
With this, Shen Cheng was somewhat satisfied, "You do have a bit of conscience."
Saying this, she tossed the gold card on the table towards him.
Shen Zhongming caught it and heard Shen Cheng calmly say, "Go buy a door."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhongming immediately beamed, "Got it! By the decree of Old Buddha!"
And so—
He went out as quickly as possible, but in less than half an hour, he came back again.
Covered in sweat, he neither bought the door nor brought a repairman.
Shen Cheng squinted and asked, "ATM machine broken?"
Shen Zhongming wiped his sweat and shook his head.
Shen Cheng asked again, "Wrong password?"
Shen Zhongming wiped his sweat again and shook his head.
With patience, Shen Cheng asked once more, "Is there a problem with the card?"
Shen Zhongming kept shaking his head...
Shen Cheng snapped, "Speak clearly!"
