Once Upon A One Night Stand

After Jiang Mengyao returned to J City, Tang Guofeng and Liu Lifang paid her an unexpected visit a few days later. She was rebuffed by Li Han, so she intended to be with Tang Zechen instead. Although he was quite a loser now, he still had a company that was better than nothing.

But to her surprise, what happened in Q City actually reach Tang Guofeng so soon.

When Tang Guofeng questioned her, she did not admit it, but then she learned that it was Shu Tian who exposed it. Well, then she did not even have a chance to defend herself.

Tang Zechen took back all the properties he had gifted her and refused to be with her ever again, and the Tang family also shut the door upon her face.

Jiang Mengyao was burning in hatred, and she bore a grudge to Shu Tian so intense that she yearned to tear her apart alive. At this moment, she received a call from a mysterious woman.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Chujing rubbed the pearl bracelet in her hand and her eyes flickered. "You don't have to care about who I am. You just need to know that I can help you."

"Oh, you're so confident." Jiang Mengyao didn't believe it at all. "You don't even dare to say your name. Why should I believe you?"

Jiang Chujing curled her lips coldly. "Because I know that you're in a desperate situation and because I know everything about Li Han and Shu Tian... You've been plotted by Shu Tian and lost the support of the Tang family."

Jiang Mengyao was about to hang up, but when she heard this, she stopped abruptly. "Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. As long as you do as I say, you won't suffer a loss."

"What do you want to do?"

"When the time comes, I will tell you. During this period of time, just stop stirring up troubles. Otherwise, no one can help you."

Jiang Mengyao felt insecure. "Why are you helping me?"

Jiang Chujing seemed to hear something ridiculous. "It's fair that I help you get what you want and you give me what I want, right?"

Jiang Mengyao wanted to say something else, but Jiang Chujing had run out of patience to listen. She sensitively detected the sound of approaching footsteps outside the door and interrupted Jiang Mengyao in a hurry. "I'll contact you in the future, bye."

As soon as the phone was cut off, Li Wei walked up to her and glanced at her phone from the corner of his eye. He looked a little confused, but as a staff member, he naturally couldn't ask anything more. "Miss Jiang, you just finished the examination. You should rest for a while."

Jiang Chujing hurriedly adjusted her expression and pretended a relaxed smile. "I just called Li Han on the phone. He has left his wallet here. It's time for me to rest anyway."

Hearing her words and seeing her happy expression, Li Wei felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. Ever since the last time he brought her back from abroad, his attention had been unintentionally drawn to this fragile woman. This tender feeling came quickly, even a little inexplicably, but it was substantial.

He couldn't ignore it.

Jiang Chujing turned around and walked towards the bedroom. After a few steps, she turned around as if something had suddenly occurred to her. Looking at Li Wei's somewhat rough face, she tried to smother the disgust in her heart and pretended to be grateful. "By the way, thank you for helping me get Jiang Mengyao's phone number. I don't mean anything else. I just don't want her to continue pestering Han. Don't tell anyone, please?"

Li Wei had heard of what Jiang Mengyao had done to Li Han, and Jiang Chujing had always loved Li Han deeply. So it was understandable that she had warned Jiang Mengyao.

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."

Jiang Chujing's laden heart became lighter. "Thank you. You don't have to call me Miss Jiang in the future. Just call me Chujing in private."

Although she despised Li Wei from the bottom of her heart, for he looked rough and rude, she endured her revulsion for the sake of his usefulness.

Hearing what she said, Li Wei suddenly felt that everything was worth it, and the joy in his eyes was about to spill out. "Chujing?"

"Yes!" Only then did Jiang Chujing enter the room with satisfaction.

[...]

Shu Tian and Li Han had been maintaining harmony in disguise for nearly a week. During this period, they went to work on time every day and dined together. Occasionally, Li Han worked overtime, but he didn't stay out all night as he had done before. However, Shu Tian still felt that something had changed.

For example, when he was busy in the study, he never took the initiative to ask her in. Also, when he returned late, he always refused to give her an excuse.

For the first time, Li Han gave Shu Tian a sense of uncertainty. She didn't even know what he was thinking.

Constrain, depression, and vexation mingled in her heart. With all kinds of emotions intertwining, Shu Tian couldn't bear it eventually. Coincidentally, Li Han had something to do tonight, so she called Fu Qingtong out to drink.

When old friends met, there was no need to explain anything. After a few drinks, there was no secret between them. Shu Tian poured out everything that had happened recently, while Fu Qingtong echoed and scolded Li Han. The two of them held the bottle and giggled goofily.

"There is never a good man!"

"Yes!"

"Why can they do whatever they want? They don't even deserve to help carry my shoes!"

"Yes!"

They still did not enjoy themselves to their heart's content when they had already guzzled down all the liquor during their meal. There was a small bar nearby where Fu Qingtong had paid for its membership, so the two of them immediately concurred to move to the bar and continue with their alcoholic battle.

Fu Qingtong was in an ecstatic mood and ordered a champagne tower piled up high, striking the men around dumbfounded and leading to the manager of the bar openly expressing gratitude to her. Imported wines were different for they were extremely strong liquors. After a few rounds, Shu Tian felt her remaining reason drift away. She took her cell phone to the bathroom to wash her face but was blocked by a young man.

"Pretty, did you come alone?" The man was wearing a printed long-sleeved shirt, his hair neatly combed with gel, and his perfume was so strong that it made her giddy.

Shu Tian was already dizzy and was about to vomit when she smelled it. She pushed him away to go to the bathroom but was grabbed by this man on the wrist again after she managed to take one step. "Don' go. Let's have a drink together?"

Shu Tian struggled but did not break free. Beyond tipsy, she became impatient. "No time!"

"Oh, you have quite a temper. I like it." As the man spoke, his hand had already wrapped around her shoulder, as if he was going to hug her.

Shu Tian felt nauseous and was about to speak when the phone in her hand suddenly rang. She picked it up without looking at who it was. "Hello, who is it?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Han was driving home. When he heard her lisp, he immediately slammed the steering wheel and parked the car to the side of the road with a creak.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp pupils turning cold, and his voice icy-cold when he heard the noise coming from the other end. "Where are you?"

"Me?" Shu Tian glanced around. Before she could speak, the man behind her eagerly attempted to hug her. "Hey, pretty, why have you still not done with your call? Come into my private room and continue with your call. It's quiet over there..."

"I'm not coming, don't drag me..."

Li Han was just worried about her just now, if not failing to stifle his rage as he was at present. As he imagined what was about to happen, the viciousness and fury in his eyes were frightening. "Shu Tian, let me ask you again, where are you now?"
