Several rich ladies were startled.
"Sheng Congzhi?" someone recognized her, "Do you have no class at all? Hiding behind and eavesdropping on our conversation..."
"Talking trash behind people's backs, and you say you have high class?" Sheng Congzhi taunted with her peach blossom eyes, leaving her opponent speechless with a single retort.
Another rich lady said, "What does our conversation have to do with you?"
"Of course, it does," Sheng Congzhi smiled, "I'll tell you: Fu Yan is perfectly fine in that department. He's got a back strong as a stud, merman's abs, and not only the eight-pack but also stamina—very enduring."
"How would you know?"
Sheng Congzhi coolly said, "Using your words from earlier: I'm available to everyone, so of course... I've tried him out."
That person was outraged, "You're shameless!"
Sheng Congzhi flicked her fluffy curls, her smile not quite reaching her eyes, "Here, take it. You're clearly lacking some."
"You..."
In the hallway leading to the terrace, Lu Jiangnian was already laughing uncontrollably, "Fu Er, how come I didn't know you've been 'used' by Sheng Congzhi?"
Fu Yan also laughed, "Those who've used it all say it's good."
Lu Jiangnian gritted his teeth, "Oh really? Didn't forget to leave you a five-star review, huh?"
"Jealous?" Fu Yan squinted, a cigarette dangling from his lips, "Then go find someone quickly, and you won't have to be jealous of daddy anymore."
"Damn dog!" Lu Jiangnian cursed, "Even my Husky isn't as much of a dog as you..."
Before he could finish, he saw Fu Yan's expression suddenly turn cold.
...
"Miss Sheng."
A blond man suddenly approached, offering a glass of red wine, "Hello, I'm Lin Wei, Ah Chen's cousin."
Sheng Congzhi didn't take it, "What do you want?"
"Don't be so cold," Lin Wei smiled, "I just want to have a drink with you, make friends. You wouldn't deny me this little favor, would you?"
"Too bad," Sheng Congzhi said bluntly, "Your face, it really doesn't suit my taste."
The rich ladies had varying reactions.
Lin Wei was a relative of the Lu family, and Sheng Congzhi was being incredibly blunt! How can she embarrass him like this and expect no repercussions?
As expected, Lin Wei's face turned ugly in an instant, "Aren't you someone who doesn't refuse anyone? Even the Fu family's illegitimate son is fine for you, why not me? Aside from the surname Fu, what does Fu Yan have that I don't? Come on, just be honest, how much did he pay you? I'll double it for one night with you..."
The wine glass in his hand was suddenly snatched away, and then violently splashed in his face.
Sheng Congzhi asked, "Are you sober now?"
When had Lin Wei ever been humiliated by a woman like this?
"You fucking bitch! I treated you with respect, didn't I? Aren't you stars all just selling yourselves, so why the act?"
As he reached out to grab her, nobody quite saw what happened next; there was only the sound of a "crack."
Then Lin Wei screamed, "Damn your mother!"
Sheng Congzhi had actually broken the wine glass and cut his hand!
Blood started spurting out, quickly dyeing his whole hand red, scaring everyone pale.
But something even more terrifying happened.
A familiar, tall figure suddenly appeared, quickly stepping forward.
Someone mustered the courage to call out, "Dr. Fu, Young Master Lin is injured..."
Fu Yan lowered his eyes to look at the bloody hand.
Without saying anything, Lin Wei suddenly felt a chill in his heart, especially meeting those cold eyes behind the glasses...
Then a piercing pain struck violently.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah—"
Lin Wei's injured hand was forcibly bent backward at an alarming angle by Fu Yan.
Even Lu Jiangnian couldn't keep his composure and rushed over, "Fu Er..."
But it was too late.
Fu Yan flicked the ash off the cigarette by his mouth, then suddenly kicked up at Lin Wei's abdomen.
With a loud "bang."
Lin Wei flew back a meter, hit the table behind him, and ended up on the ground amidst the chaos of tables and chairs.
The scene went dead silent.
Even Sheng Congzhi didn't expect this to happen.
Fu Yan moved to follow up, but Lu Jiangnian quickly stopped him, then started yelling at Lin Wei, "Lin Wei, do you know what occasion this is? You dare make a scene here? If you don't want to die, get the hell out now!"
He knew what his cousin was like, but flirting with women was one thing, daring to speak ill of Fu Er?
"Don't you know the term 'bastard' is taboo?"
Lin Wei's face was beaded with cold sweat.
But more than the physical pain, the fear in his heart was greater.
In the upper circles of Yun City, who didn't know that Fu Yan, though he appeared indifferent to fame and fortune, was actually a ruthless character? It was said he had mixed with the underworld before returning to the Fu Family; he was a seasoned fighter and had even beaten a Fu cousin so badly a few years ago that he ruptured his bladder and had to go abroad for treatment...
He didn't dare hesitate, enduring the intense pain as he got up and staggered outside.
Just then, the Lu Family arrived in succession.
"What happened?" Mr. Lu exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my!" Mrs. Lin turned pale with shock, "Ah Wei, what happened to your hand? There's so much blood..."
"Uncle." Lu Jiangnian interjected, "Lin Wei's injury is not light, we should hurry and take him to the hospital."
"But..."
"Uncle." Lu Jiangnian stressed, "Today is my grandfather's birthday celebration."
Mr. Lin was shrewder than his wife and cast a glance at the man lurking in the shadows behind him...
In less than a second, he made a decision: "Let's go to the hospital first."
And so the family of three hurriedly left.
Within the crowd, Fu Yuting watched all this, her face turning pale, as a chilly fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
...
Lu Jiangnian efficiently dispersed the onlookers and called over staff to tidy up the scene.
"Zhizhi girl." Mr. Lu asked with concern, "Are you all right?"
Sheng Congzhi was still holding the broken wine glass, "I'm fine..."
"Hand."
Fu Yan suddenly spoke.
Sheng Congzhi was taken aback.
"Let me see..." Mr. Lu's demeanor changed instantly, "You say you're fine, but look at your hand, it's bleeding! Jiang Nian, quickly find the first aid kit."
Sheng Congzhi looked down and noticed a small cut at the base of her thumb...
It must have been accidentally caused by the wine glass.
"What are you meddling in, a young lady like you? When the big men are fighting, you should keep your distance. Did you really think you could break it up? Is that your business to handle?" Mr. Lu rambled on, "Now look at the state of your injury; what if it affects you in the future... Ah Yan, have a look at it quickly!"
Sheng Congzhi's eyelid twitched, "No need..."
The man stubbed out his cigarette, walked over in a few steps, and took hold of her wrist.
His palm was cool, and his demeanor returned to its usual indifference. The way he examined the wound was so professional it was hard to see any hint of anything amiss.
"How is it? Is it serious?" Mr. Lu was genuinely concerned.
"It's not serious, just a small cut in the skin." Fu Yan pinched her delicate fingertips, his lips curving slightly, "If the first aid kit doesn't arrive soon, it'll probably have healed already."
Sheng Congzhi: "..."
When Lu Huaichen arrived on the scene, the terrace had been restored to its original state, the party continued as if nothing had happened.
"Zhizhi, are you okay?"
"Do you have the nerve to ask?" Mr. Lu puffed up his beard and glared, "Where did you wander off to? Is this how you take care of people?"
"Grandpa, I was dealing with something just now..."
The first aid kit was delivered quickly.
Lu Huaichen reached out to take it.
"I'll do it." Fu Yan spoke again.
"Yes, yes, yes, give it to Ah Yan." Mr. Lu agreed, "He is a doctor after all, I feel relieved having him take care of Zhizhi. You, step aside."
The sidelined Lu Huaichen: "..."
Alright then.
Sheng Congzhi remained silent throughout, watching as Fu Yan took the first aid kit, opened it with his long, clean, beautiful hands, took out a cotton swab, and effortlessly tore open the packaging.
"Hisss—"
The unexpected sharp pain made the fantasies in her head instantly vanish.
Fu Yan then wiped the wound with the cotton swab several times, "Now do you realize it hurts?"
Sheng Congzhi: ...I'm starting to suspect you're doing this out of spite!
None of the onlookers thought much of it, and Mr. Lu took the opportunity to lecture, "Zhizhi girl, you can't be so impulsive next time, do you hear me?"
Sheng Congzhi, resigned: "I hear you."
