Chapter 155 — So Scheming, I Must Say Wu Chengtian Is a Very Scheming Man
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
He wanted to pull a dirty trick on Wei Zhao without letting Sun Jingyan see through it, the very type of man who is rotten in secret.
"You don't mind if I sit here?" Wu Chengtian said as much, but his hands had already dragged over a chair and he had seated himself at the table with Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan.
It was a table for two, but adding one more chair made little difference.
With Wu Chengtian joining them, the atmosphere at the table turned distinctly strange.
Sun Jingyan and Wei Zhao were strangers to begin with, so at that moment neither dared to talk too much, afraid that too many words would give them away and let Wu Chengtian see through them.
Wu Chengtian, meanwhile, was still sulking over his failed attempt to embarrass Wei Zhao, thinking bitterly to himself, if Sun Jingyan were not here, I would crush you.
"Hehe, where do you make your fortune, brother?" Seeing that no one at the table was speaking, Wu Chengtian found a topic on his own, meaning to sound out Wei Zhao's background first! He was utterly depressed that day, having flown all the way to Songshan City thinking he would be paired off with Sun Jingyan, only to have his first suggestion brushed aside when she used having a boyfriend as an excuse.
He had assumed she was only fobbing him off, and naturally he did not believe her, so he kept pressing her until Sun Jingyan grew thoroughly impatient and claimed her boyfriend was waiting for her at the bar as they had arranged, never expecting Wu Chengtian to follow her here so shamelessly.
Thinking fast in a tight spot, Sun Jingyan had grabbed Wei Zhao to play the part.
Wu Chengtian had only just returned to the country and knew nothing of Sun Jingyan's life in Songshan, so when he suddenly saw that she really had a boyfriend, he did not dare decide whether it was true or false and could only probe carefully.
"No need to make a fortune." Wei Zhao's impression of Wu Chengtian had sunk to rock bottom. He had not really wanted to get mixed up in his business with Sun Jingyan, but this fellow had tried to put him in his place without asking right from wrong, so Wei Zhao did not stand on courtesy either.
No need to make a fortune? Wu Chengtian froze, not quite understanding what Wei Zhao meant by that. Could he mean his family was so rich he never needed to earn money?
Yet his clothes looked nothing special, all cheap street-stall goods. Could this kid be playing the fool to catch the wise?
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Chengtian, and Jingyan and I are childhood sweethearts." Wu Chengtian nodded at Wei Zhao and held out his hand once more.
"Let's skip the handshake, you nearly crushed me just now." Wei Zhao showed no intention of offering his hand this time. "All right, you have finished introducing yourself, so can you leave now? Do you know that sitting here you are already blocking my view of the show?"
Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Sun Jingyan frowned and shot Wu Chengtian an annoyed look. The Wu family where Wu Chengtian belonged was famed for skill of the hand, and his pair of iron hands had reached perfection, said to be handed down from the Shaolin Iron Sand Palm.
Sun Jingyan knew the Wu family's background, so she naturally knew how strong Wu Chengtian's grip was, and at Wei Zhao's remark she understood at once that Wu Chengtian had played a trick during the handshake!
Damn it! What scheming! Wu Chengtian's face turned ugly and embarrassed in an instant as he cursed Wei Zhao inwardly for being far too scheming! He had said nothing when he was pinched before, acting as if he could take it! If he had screamed and shouted when he was pinched, then even if Sun Jingyan knew he had used a trick, she would still have marked Wei Zhao down as a man so weak, how could he protect his woman? A man who cries out over a little pain, how could she trust him with her life?
