How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 356 Let's play together!

Zhang Wen looked at the woman in front of him with a half-smile, knowing perfectly well why she had come here.

"Just passing by" is nothing but an excuse; isn't it all for the life essence?

Doesn't this woman know the saying "haste makes waste"?

Acting in front of renowned art exam tutors is like showing off your axe skills in front of Guan Yu or Li Kui.

Zhang Wen originally wanted to go back to his office to retrieve the life essence, but seeing the other party pretending to bump into him here, he decided to keep the other party in suspense for now.

"I've said my hello, Miss Song. Goodbye." Zhang Wen waved to Song Yixin, then turned and left.

what?
Song Yixin froze, her smile frozen on her face.

Why doesn't this man play by the rules?
Logically, since she got out of the car to say hello, and it was right in front of the training school, shouldn't the other party have invited her in for a chat? Why did they immediately say goodbye?
Watching the man's departing figure, and remembering her purpose for tonight, Song Yixin reluctantly quickened her pace and said loudly, "Teacher Zhang, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Zhang Wen stopped and looked at the woman who had caught up with him, saying, "Sorry, this is a teaching area; outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Me? An outsider?"

Song Yixin's eyes widened in disbelief. After all, she was now a VIP, and as the old saying goes, "the customer is always right."

Even if she's not God, she's still a sugar daddy, right?
One hundred and forty million couldn't even buy a chance to get in?

Let alone a mere art exam training center, even a proper university would have school leaders inviting her to visit the campus, right?
Too much, too much.

Suppressing her anger, Song Yixin forced a smile for the sake of the life essence and said, "Teacher Zhang, do you have time tonight? Let's chat?"

As she spoke, she straightened her back, her shoulder blades subtly retracted, and her hands clasped together and hung down in front of her lower abdomen.

This standing posture is very particular, as it perfectly showcases her figure to the other person.

In particular, the gesture of clasping hands together, with the arms drawn inward, better highlights her towering mountains and deep valleys.

Song Yixin couldn't believe that someone as beautiful as her would be completely unmoved by her offering herself up.

In order to obtain the formula for the life essence, she didn't mind letting the other party have a glimpse of it.

If a man doesn't give his partner a little taste of sweetness, how can he get her to willingly fall into his carefully woven web?

Just like a fisherman putting a plump bait on a hook, it may seem harmless, but it actually hides a deadly trap.

"No time, I have class later," Zhang Wen said casually, seemingly oblivious to the towering mountains and deep valleys before him.

"Class?" Song Yixin turned her head to look at the school next to her, and she was about to explode with anger.

If you don't seize an opportunity when given one, are you even a man?
I've seen people who are clueless about romance, but I've never seen anyone this clueless.

Am I not dressed well today? Do I not have a good figure? Is the outfit revealing enough?

Song Yixin began to doubt her own charm, and even felt that the men who pursued her in the past were not interested in her as a person, but rather in her family background.

At that moment, her self-esteem suffered an unprecedented blow.

Song Yixin gritted her teeth. Giving up like this was not her style. Compared to those small hills that were easy to climb, she preferred to conquer those tall, steep, and mysterious mountains.

That's what makes it challenging.

"Anyway, I'm free tonight. What time do you get off get out of class? I'll wait for you," Song Yixin said.

At that moment, she remembered a saying her father often taught her: Don't give up easily.

Oh?
Zhang Wen was somewhat surprised.

He's already said all that, and the other person still won't leave?

That's right, those are immortal peaches.

"But I need to go home to be with my girlfriend after get off work," Zhang Wen said, looking troubled.

Song Yixin's brows twitched slightly.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Wait a minute, wouldn't it be easier to hook someone if they had a girlfriend?
What's that old saying again? Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wild ones.

"It won't take you long. Why don't you call your girlfriend?" Song Yixin said.

She also wanted to see what this man's girlfriend looked like.

"Four people? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Zhang Wen hesitated for a moment before saying.

"There's nothing wrong with it, let's get to know each other..." Song Yixin paused suddenly, staring blankly at the man, and asked in confusion, "Four, four people?"

One plus one, then one more, shouldn't it equal three?

This is addition that even kindergarten kids can do, how could it possibly equal three?
Wait, should we add two more?

“Yes, four people, is there anything wrong with that?” Zhang Wen asked.

"You, you have two girlfriends?" Song Yixin asked, her voice stammering. Although she couldn't quite believe it, she still managed to ask.

"Yes," Zhang Wen nodded.

"Do they know they exist?" Song Yixin asked. She hadn't expected that the man, who looked so handsome with thick eyebrows, would be such a scumbag.

“I know, we still live together,” Zhang Wen said.

"..."

Song Yixin swallowed hard, her worldview shattered.

Does this work too?
I've seen couples juggling two relationships, and I've seen couples with multiple partners, but I've never seen three people living together.

wrong!

Those two women must be after this man's money, which is why they chose to tolerate him. They don't love him at all.

Their relationship wasn't one of boyfriend and girlfriend, but rather based on money.

Yes, that must be the case.

Song Yixin was sure her guess was right.

She knew a girl who would always order two male models whenever she went to the club, and those male models were always eager to please her.

Song Yixin looked at the man in front of her again, and she never expected that such a refined and gentle man would have such a loose private life.

Her gaze changed, a hint of disgust lurking in her eyes.

"Teacher Zhang is really... lucky," Song Yixin said with a forced smile, her voice tinged with sarcasm.

"So-so, mainly for playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but..." Zhang Wen's gaze fell on the woman in front of him, brazenly sizing her up, "I'm tired of Dou Dizhu lately and want to play mahjong. We're short one player right now, do you want to join?"

Song Yixin trembled and took two steps back warily, distancing herself from the beast in front of her. Her eyes showed disgust and revulsion, but even more so, shame and anger.

They actually want her to join the harem?

She's the eldest daughter of the Song family, the future heir to Deya Medical, and a future business tycoon. How could they equate her with those gold diggers? It's outrageous!

I feel my soul has been defiled.

"I...I'm not interested," Song Yixin said through gritted teeth. If it weren't for the formula for the Life Essence, she would have already turned against the other party.

She reached out and straightened her clothes, trying to cover herself up more, but found that there was only so much fabric, especially on her upper body, which was barely covered. At that moment, she was filled with regret.

If I had known he was this kind of person, I should have worn more clothes tonight.

“Miss Song, weren’t you just about to invite me and my girlfriend to hang out?” Zhang Wen waved to her, making an inviting gesture. Song Yixin’s lips twitched, and she said stiffly, “No, I’d better not bother you.”

"Come on, I'll make the call now." Zhang Wen said as he took his phone out of his pocket and pretended to grab the other person's hand.

"No!" Song Yixin's face turned pale instantly. "Oh right, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with a client tonight. I have to go see her right away. Let's meet another day."

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the sports car parked on the side of the road as if he were fleeing.

As a result, because he was walking too fast, his heel twisted, and he stumbled and almost fell.

However, Song Yixin, who had sprained her ankle, did not stop. After glancing back, as if afraid of being caught up, she continued to walk forward with a limp.

Even after getting into the car, she didn't relax. She changed into flat shoes, stepped on the gas, and sped away from the place.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but laugh as he watched the woman run away in fright.

Still trying to use a honey trap?

If you're so capable, don't run away!

As Zhang Wen was about to return to his office, he caught a glimpse of a man walking aggressively toward him.

The man appeared to be around thirty years old. His well-tailored suit made him look very tall and imposing. His shoes were polished to a gleaming shine, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses. He exuded the air of an elite individual, and even his car was an Aston Martin sports car.

Zhang Wen couldn't help but take another look, and after confirming with his eyes, he realized that the person was coming for him.

However, he did not remember ever seeing the other person, nor did he know them.

Zhang Wen turned around, ready to fight back, his mind racing with eighty-one moves to subdue his opponent.

Just as he was about to use his groin kick, the other person suddenly stopped two meters away, his eyes filled with undisguised hostility.

"?"

Zhang Wen was completely confused.

Although he is half in the entertainment industry, he has always been clean-living and has never stolen anyone's girlfriend or taken anyone's wife. Why are you looking at him with such hatred as if you've stolen his wife?
"What is your relationship with Xin Xin?" the man asked coldly, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth, as if his teeth could crush it if he exerted any more force.

"Who?" Zhang Wen was slightly taken aback.

Xinxin?

Is it Qiao Shuxin?
"Xin Xin, Song Yi Xin, what is your relationship with Song Yi Xin?" the man questioned.

Zhang Wen suddenly realized.

It turns out it was Song Yixin.

He couldn't help but sized up the man in front of him. Song Yixin had just left, and this man appeared right after. Could it be that the two of them came together?
But it doesn't look like it.

"Are you following Song Yixin?" Zhang Wen suddenly asked.

A flicker of panic crossed the man's eyes, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "I wasn't following Xin Xin. I was just passing by and happened to see you two together."

"..."

Zhang Wen blinked, and then said "just right" again.

This isn't a train station, so how come so many people happen to pass by here?

“You are…” Zhang Wen looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"My name is Lin Han, and I'm Xin Xin's friend," the man introduced himself, his expression carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Oh, since you're Song Yixin's friend, why don't you just ask her directly? Why are you asking me? I don't even know you." Zhang Wen rolled his eyes at the other person and turned to walk towards the school.

"Stop!" the man commanded sternly.

Zhang Wen acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking forward.

Upon seeing this, the man immediately became anxious, quickly walked over, put his hand in front of him, and said, "I will ask Xin Xin, but I need to ask you first."

what?
Zhang Wen looked at the other person with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, completely unable to understand this person's logic.

Is it because he looks easy to talk to, or because he looks easy to bully?

“I’m not telling you,” Zhang Wen said.

“You must tell me,” the man said seriously.

"I'm not going to tell you, what can you do about it?" Zhang Wen said with a smile.

"you……"

The man glared fiercely, his fists clenched tightly.

Zhang Wen thought the other party would make a move, but after waiting for a long time, he only received one sentence from the other party.

Why did you bully Xin Xin just now?

"Which eye of yours saw me bullying her? Besides, what's it to you?" Zhang Wen raised an eyebrow. If you want to fight, then fight. What's with all the fuss?
"Of course it's related to me. Xin Xin and I are not only good friends, but also neighbors. We've known each other for eleven years, and I've always treated her like a younger sister..."

The man was still talking non-stop about his relationship with Song Yixin, but Zhang Wen had already figured it out. All that nonsense was just to say that he and Song Yixin were childhood sweethearts.
He calls himself a brother and sister, but frankly, he's just a sycophant who failed to get ahead of Song Yixin, so he barks at her in a panic when he sees her leave in a sorry state.

"Now do you know the relationship between Xin Xin and me?" the man asked arrogantly.

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Wen nodded.

"Good to know. Now tell me, what is your relationship with Xin Xin, and why are you bullying her?" the man asked, looking like he was determined to fight to the death.

Zhang Wen glanced at the sycophant in front of him, sighed deeply, and said, "You're Xin Xin's neighbor, which means you're my brother-in-law. We're not strangers, so I won't hide it from you. Actually, Xin Xin is my girlfriend."

"What?" The man's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

Zhang Wen ignored the other person's reaction and continued speaking to himself:

"We had a little disagreement about tonight's plans. She wanted to go out for dinner, and I agreed. I suggested we play mahjong after dinner, but she didn't want to play mahjong. Instead, she wanted to go camping in the mountains with me to watch the sunrise. She also wouldn't let me bring any friends. I said it would be too boring for just the two of us, and she stormed off. Do you think it's my fault?"
"..."

The man was already stunned.

He wanted to ask Song Yixin out for dinner tonight, but she refused. He planned to go directly to Yixin's company, but as soon as he got outside, he saw her drive away.

He had followed her all the way here, thinking that Song Yixin was going to meet her business partner, but it turned out she was going to meet her boyfriend.

Thinking about Song Yixin's recent strange behavior—saying she was busy when he asked her out for dinner, not contacting him proactively, and dressing so revealingly today—it turns out she has a boyfriend.

At that moment, he felt as if his world had lost its color.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" Zhang Wen asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing." The man hurriedly shook his head, trying to hide his disappointment.

“Brother-in-law, go back and talk to Xin Xin. Playing mahjong with four people is so much fun. What’s so interesting about the sunrise? Besides, there are so many mosquitoes on the mountain this time of year. What if she gets poisonous and dies on the mountain? You’re her brother, she’ll definitely listen to you,” Zhang Wen said.

"I...I'll try to persuade him," the man nodded absentmindedly.

"Then you should go and try to persuade her. I won't go. I'll go find her after she calms down," Zhang Wen urged.

"Oh," the man replied, turning and walking towards Martin by the roadside.

Looking at the other person's dejected figure, Zhang Wen thought to himself, "No wonder he's such a simp, so easy to fool."
