Chapter 8: Slapping the White Lotus in the Face

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Yaen Chi had just asked when he suddenly thought of Nan Jiaojiao, a meaningful look appearing in his eyes.

"The plot in Western City was taken by Shen Shichu. Since he took over Shen's in the past few years, he has aggressively expanded in the real estate industry. It's said that he has a formidable architect."

As he spoke, he leaned in closer, "If you want to stir things up, I can help check the identity of that architect for you. I've heard that many companies want to poach him, but Shen Shichu keeps him very well hidden."

Bo Yanching merely glanced at him lightly, "Who said I want to mess things up?"

Yaen Chi fell silent, feeling as if Brother Yan was just bored out of his mind.

Because of that girl surnamed Nan?

"You are Shen Shichu's elder. He should give you an invitation. Shall I accompany you for some fun?"

Bo Yanching snorted lightly, flicked his extinguished cigarette butt onto Yaen Chi's leg, who naturally caught it and flicked it into the ashtray, smiling knowingly without revealing anything.

The car stopped in front of the Ye Family's villa.

Ye Shiqing unbuckled her seatbelt, turned around, and said, "Brother Chu, I have quite a few things, could you help me carry them inside?"

"Sure."

Shen Shichu didn't say a word and went to the rear compartment to fetch the items.

They were all Ye Shiqing's dance gear and costumes, mixed with a few E.Y. paper bags.

Nan Jiaojiao stood by the car, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Wasn't it said that he drove here alone? The important things ended up all in Shen Shichu's car; he really spared no expense when coddling a woman, yet he was never considerate of his official girlfriend.

Ye Shiqing didn't follow. She crossed her arms, her whole body exuding provocation, "Nan Jiaojiao, how long are you still going to pretend?"

"What are you implying?" Nan Jiaojiao asked coldly.

"Others hint, and you don't get it; you see it with your own eyes and still don't understand?"

Ye Shiqing opened her collar, revealing the love bite on her neck, "See? It's just Brother Chu and me for each other; he doesn't even want to touch you."

"Oh."

Nan Jiaojiao responded indifferently.

A slap landed on Ye Shiqing's face.

"You dare…"

"Bear it!"

Nan Jiaojiao stepped closer, her cold eyes fixed on the frantic face before her, "Go ahead, tell Shen Shichu. He treasures me a lot. You took a big risk that night, but did you consider that I might wake up? He would definitely not expose our affair in front of me."

"You…"

Ye Shiqing backed away, clutching her face, her eyes wide with astonishment.

So she knew all along!

"Aren't you afraid I'll expose you in front of Brother Chu?"

"Afraid?"

Nan Jiaojiao seemed to hear a joke, "Shen Shichu just bid for that plot in Western City, secretly planning to build a mall to replace Bo's. If he dares to challenge Bo Yanching, he must have confidence. Go ahead and expose me. Once my relationship with Shen Shichu blows up and I refuse to help him with architectural designs any longer, even the best plot will rot in his hands."

Ye Shiqing staggered back two steps, her body swaying, her eyes full of disbelief.

Nan Jiaojiao glanced at her lightly, speaking softly, "Ye Shiqing, with me here, you have no chance of standing rightfully beside Shen Shichu."

She laughed, "Be careful, using too much Aphrodisiac not only harms the body but also the brain. If one day I truly catch you in the act, let's see if Brother Chu kicks you out of bed or sends me away."

"..." Ye Shiqing was rendered speechless.

Only she knew, that bald old man was the one she had called, and she had deliberately lit incense in the living room too.

She couldn't stand always having to sneak around with Shen Shichu, thinking that regardless of who caught them, it would be in her favor.

But she never expected that after Shen Shichu finished, he would go take a shower.

And it was Nan Jiaojiao who woke up, yet she held back from exploding on the spot, truly cunning!

"What are you so pleased about?"

Ye Shiqing didn't dare to raise her voice; instead, she sneered, "You'd better hold onto Brother Chu tightly. See the Ye Family behind me? Do you also want to enter?"

She tilted her head back, bearing the posture of a victor, "But unfortunately for you, mom and dad don't recognize you; you can only be an illegitimate daughter who can't be seen in public!"

Nan Jiaojiao still wore a cool expression, utterly undisturbed and unconcerned.
