They even made him bleed...
Liang Chen, being the youngest in the Liang family, had been spoiled and favored since childhood. As he grew up and established his vast business empire in Jiangshan City, he was adorned by everyone.
Hence, let alone bleeding, nobody had ever dared to lay a finger on him his entire life!
He indeed misjudged the situation just now. He thought she was compliant, but in fact, she was just fooling him and savagely counterattacked when he wasn't paying attention!
...
Liang Chen, with his bitten tongue, returned to his mother's birthday party. His tongue hurt so much that he couldn't drink or eat anything. Speaking was also a struggle, and he had to force himself not to grimace in pain. In the end, he grabbed a bottle of ice water and occasionally held a mouthful, trying to ease the pain.
As the banquet was about to break up, Liang Chen seemed to remember something. He looked up and said to Shen Liangnian, who was sitting next to him, "My phone's out of battery, can I borrow yours for a second?"
Without a second thought, Shen Liangnian handed over his phone. Liang Chen took it, calmly flipped through the contacts left in the phone to Haohao's contact and copied her phone number. He sent a message to his own phone with the copied number, deleted the message after it was successfully sent, and then handed the phone back to Shen Liangnian.
...
That night, instead of going back to his own villa in Jiangshan City, Liang Chen decided to stay in the old mansion.
Deep into the night, he alone sat on a lounge chair on the second-floor balcony, examining the bite wound on his tongue in the mirror.
Upon seeing the deep teeth marks, he couldn't help but angrily toss the mirror aside. It startled the servant who had just opened the door to deliver a late-night snack. The servant quietly closed the door, took the food, and quickly slipped away.
After taking a bath, Liang Chen lay down on his bed, idly flicking through channels on the wall-mounted TV. Halfway through his viewing, he got up, found a DVD after digging through his drawers, and put it in the player. Soon, scenes of his steamy night with Jing Haohao began to play on the screen...
The more he watched, the more uneasy Liang Chen became, so he turned off the TV. Looking down at his phone, he saw the text message he had sent himself from Shen Liangnian's phone. He looked at the string of digits for a moment, then dialed it...
...
Jing Haohao didn't bother saying goodbye to Shen Liangnian and hurriedly escaped from the Liang Family Old Mansion banquet.
She hailed a taxi and headed home. Once there, she rushed into the bathroom and started brushing her teeth furiously. After a good while, she could still sense the smell and taste of Liang Chen lingering around her.
Jing Haohao removed her makeup, took a quick shower, and lay down on her bed.
After years in the entertainment industry, Jing Haohao had learned to read people pretty well, even if she didn't have a sixth sense for it.
She knew she was beautiful, and beautiful women were vulnerable, so she had always made an effort to protect herself.
She could tell that Liang Chen was somewhat interested in her. But this man was different from the others who had been interested in her. If she didn't handle it right, she feared it might affect Liangnian, who was self-made.
Just as Jing Haohao was racking her brain for a foolproof solution, her phone suddenly rang...
