Chapter 4: Face the Consequences Yourself

Yan Jingcheng's pupils were as dark as ink as he smirked, "You should pay a little tip."

Gu Mingzhu had never seen such shamelessness and mocked, "Tip? With your level, I advise the Fourth Young Master to either get more practice if he's got money or gain more experience if he's broke. Otherwise, he'll end up being a decorative pillow, useless despite his youth!"

After her sarcastic remarks, Gu Mingzhu finally felt refreshed and relieved!

With a satisfied heart, she left without looking back, stepping out confidently in her high heels.

Watching her leave, Yan Jingcheng's gaze turned cold, and he sneered.

Inadequate?

This woman really needs some discipline!

After Gu Mingzhu left, Yan Jingcheng spoke in a deep voice, "Chen Qing, come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed as a secretary pushed open the door and stood respectfully before Yan Jingcheng. "Fourth Young Master."

Yan Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him, his tone indifferent, "You better give me an explanation."

Chen Qing's throat tightened, and cold sweat broke out on his back involuntarily.

He said nervously, "Someone swapped your access card and tampered with it. This room... does belong to Gu Mingzhu."

Yan Jingcheng chuckled coldly, "Face the consequences yourself."

"Yes." Chen Qing nodded quickly.

With a dark expression, Yan Jingcheng stood up and walked to the French window, lost in thought.

Last night, his childhood friend Huo Shaoting returned from abroad, and they had gathered together. After the party, he felt irritable and restless, with a strange fire burning inside him.

He thought it was just the effect of mixing drinks and didn't take it seriously.

Now that he thought about it, he had clearly been manipulated.

But the person was cautious. The substance added only had a stimulating effect, not enough to make him lose his senses.

Thinking of this, Yan Jingcheng's lips parted slightly, his voice low, "Investigate. I want to see who has the guts to plot against me!"

"Yes."

After Chen Qing responded, he left the room.

Thinking of Gu Mingzhu, Yan Jingcheng took a cigarette from his mouth and looked out the window, his deep gaze obscure.

He considered himself capable of handling such matters. Sleeping with a woman was nothing to fuss about.

But this woman turned out to be Yan Mingyuan's ex-girlfriend.

Thinking of Yan Mingyuan's lost and confused demeanor yesterday, Yan Jingcheng felt somewhat annoyed.

He turned and walked towards the sofa, catching a glimpse of a dark red bloodstain on the luxurious bed through the half-open bedroom door.

Yan Jingcheng furrowed his brows, his gaze darkening.

Who would have thought that this woman, notorious for her promiscuity in Xijiang, turned out to be a virgin?

After leaving the hotel, Gu Mingzhu took a taxi back home.

She stared blankly out of the window, feeling no real resentment towards Yan Jingcheng in her heart.

In recent years, the high-end mahogany furniture market had been booming. Mrs. Gu was eager to get a piece of the pie, so she planned to marry Gu Mingzhu into the largest timber supplier in Xijiang City—the Wang family.

The Wang family was good in every aspect, but the young master of the Wang family was a complete pervert.

Gu Mingzhu had seen through Mrs. Gu's intentions early on, so she managed to make Yan Mingyuan fall in love with her. She had just been thinking that as long as she could find someone more valuable, Mrs. Gu would reconsider. She wouldn't force her into the fire pit.
