Chapter 7616
“Okay, no problem. It’s just a bag worth 600,000, I’ll buy it!” Huang Buju was rich and naturally not stingy, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to hook up with Jiang Lanting.
Jiang Lanting was only willing to follow him because of money.
Zhang Ziren was not poor, but he was far from being a tycoon and could not satisfy Jiang Lanting's vanity.
Of course, Huang Buju was willing to spend money for a reason. He stared at Jiang Lanting with a lewd look, as if admiring a work of art: "Now that you've bought the bag, you'd better keep your brother Huang company. If you make me feel good, there will be even more benefits!"
"You're so naughty, Mr. Huang, but I like it!"
As they spoke, the two of them started getting all lovey-dovey in the private room.
Xiao Chen immediately looked away; he simply couldn't stand it anymore. What kind of garbage was this?
"Yu Yan, let's leave after we finish eating. There are unclean things here!" Sometimes, having too much power is also a kind of torment.
Others in the private room can't hear or see what's happening inside, but he can.
It's an eyesore.
“Unclean things… I’m full…” Yun Yuyan was startled by Xiao Chen’s words and hurriedly stopped eating, about to leave.
"There's no need to rush. With me here, we're not afraid of anything dirty." Xiao Chen took a big bite of meat, gritting his teeth.
He really didn't want to meddle, but he just couldn't stand it even a little bit.
As the God of War and Zhang Ziren's friend, he had no choice but to get involved in this matter.
After finishing their hotpot meal, Xiao Chen took Yun Yuyan home, then stayed in his room and dialed Zhang Ziren's number.
This poor guy poured his heart out to someone and still got cheated on. Consider it an act of charity.
The call was answered quickly, and Zhang Ziren's voice was filled with surprise, probably because it was Xiao Chen calling: "Mr. Xiao, what brings you to call me? Is there some antique you want? Just tell me, and I'll definitely get it for you."
Hearing Zhang Ziren's excited voice, Xiao Chen almost didn't want to say it, but finally decided to ask, "Are you busy right now?"
Zhang Ziren said, "Not too busy. By the way, Mr. Xiao, I just acquired a fine piece of porcelain. It's a blue and white porcelain from the Kangxi period. Although it's neither Yuan nor Ming blue and white porcelain, it's in excellent condition, with pure glaze and very clear patterns. If you want it, I'll keep it for you."
Xiao Chen sighed. What a good person! Even at a time like this, he was still thinking of him. He felt that he hadn't helped the wrong person.
"Zhang Ziren, there's something I need to tell you that might make you angry, but I hope you won't be. Calm down. There's no hurdle in this world that can't be overcome!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziren was visibly taken aback, and even his tone became tense: "Mr. Xiao, what happened? Is it related to me?"
After considering for a long time, Xiao Chen finally spoke up: "Your wife, Jiang Lanting, is now having an affair with a man named Huang Buji. I think it's not the first time. You'd better be careful, or you'll be sold out without even knowing it."
Although she wanted to be more tactful, Xiao Chen ultimately felt it was better to be clear about things.
The other end of the phone suddenly went silent, as if no one was there anymore. Xiao Chen didn't hang up, because he knew that anyone who heard such a thing would feel terrible; it was a huge blow.
After a long while, Zhang Ziren's voice rang out again, sounding awkward, filled with anger, doubt, and unease: "No, Mr. Xiao, you must be mistaken. Lanting didn't go to dinner today at all; she went out with her best friend."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen knew that Zhang Ziren couldn't believe it, after all, he had always been completely open with Jiang Lanting.
He sighed deeply before saying, "I know you're upset, but I've said what I needed to say. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm only doing this for the sake of our friendship, because I don't want you to be scammed and lose even your ancestral treasure. Take care of yourself."
Silence fell again on the other end of the phone.
At this moment, Zhang Ziren's mind was in turmoil. He no longer knew what to do and had no courage to believe what Xiao Chen had said.
“I still can’t believe that Lanting would have a misunderstanding with another man. It must be a misunderstanding. Mr. Xiao, you must have seen wrong. That woman just looks like Lanting.”
Zhang Ziren began to numb himself, trying to tell himself that none of this was real.
Xiao Chen's voice was even colder: "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I think you know better than anyone else. Stop lying to yourself. That woman is no good."
"I didn't want to get involved in this today, but I just couldn't stand it anymore... By the way, your woman might bring home a limited edition bag today, the one that Huang Buji bought."
"Your woman sold herself for this bag! If you really don't believe me, go to that hot pot restaurant right now, and I can tell you, they're still there."
"No...I don't believe it!"
Zhang Ziren roared, covering his ears; he was on the verge of a breakdown.
“We’ve been married for five years! Five years! We started dating in college! I’ve always believed in her, loved her, and given her all my salary and money. How could she… how could she? I can’t accept it!”
"It's tough, isn't it?" Xiao Chen said helplessly, "I understand how you feel right now, but don't keep numbing yourself. Even if you don't believe me, you should still be careful from now on. Hide your family's heirloom treasures and make sure they don't fall into that woman's hands, or you'll really regret it!"
"That's all I have to say. That's all I can do to help you. Now... take care of yourself!"
Zhang Ziren's breathing became rapid, and he seemed to collapse under the weight of it, his face turning frighteningly pale.
After a long while, he seemed to gradually calm down: "Why are you telling me this? We're not really friends, are we? I'm just a classmate of Zhou Keying, and I've only met you once?"
Xiao Chen leaned against the bed, took a drag of his cigarette, and slowly said, "We're not exactly friends, but we're both men, and as a man, I really can't stand this kind of thing."
"If you trust me, quickly hide all the valuables in the antique shop. I reckon Jiang Lanting will break off all ties with you soon. Not only that, she's also planning to team up with that Huang Bujiu to set a trap for you."
"At that time, you will be caught in the act of adultery, and you will be left with nothing because of the affair. Everything you have will belong to Jiang Lanting, and you will be foolishly guilty for the rest of your life."
"That's all I heard. Okay, I'm hanging up. I've said everything I needed to say!"
"No...impossible...how could she be so insidious! To do that to me?" Even as he hung up the phone, Xiao Chen could still hear Zhang Ziren muttering to himself, as if he couldn't accept what had happened. (End of Chapter)
