Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce
Chapter 57 The way his best friend looked at him was strange!
The pleasant weekend continued in an atmosphere that appeared harmonious on the surface but was actually rife with undercurrents.
The next day was Sunday, and the sun was shining brightly.
The girls, unusually, didn't sleep in; they changed into their swimsuits early in the morning and gathered by the pool.
After what happened last night, Su Qingyao became unusually clingy today. She practically clung to Zhou Cheng, like a kitten marking its territory, warily watching for any potential threat.
Especially Wang Jing.
She noticed that Wang Jing was acting very strangely today.
He was always absent-minded, his eyes would occasionally dart towards Zhou Cheng, and when he met Zhou Cheng's gaze, he would quickly look away in fright.
While eating breakfast, Zhou Cheng casually remarked, "This juice is pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jing immediately stood up, ran to the bar, personally made another glass, and brought it to Zhou Cheng.
"Cheng...Brother Cheng, try this one too." She lowered her head, her voice very soft, and handed him the cup.
Zhou Cheng took it, and their fingertips touched again.
Wang Jing's hand trembled again, and a few drops of juice spilled from the glass.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" she apologized hastily, frantically grabbing tissues to wipe herself.
"It's nothing." Zhou Cheng didn't seem to mind. He took a sip, nodded, and said, "Hmm, this one tastes even better."
Wang Jing blushed again after receiving the praise, lowered her head, and walked away quickly.
This scene was witnessed by Li Meng, who was not far away.
Li Meng frowned.
She wasn't like Su Qingyao, who was blinded by love, nor was she like Wang Jing, who was simple-minded. She saw things most clearly.
Quietly... she's fallen into a trap.
She glanced at Su Qingyao, who was still acting coquettishly with Zhou Cheng, and then at Wang Jing, who was fidgeting and looking away. She sighed inwardly.
What kind of situation is this?
Zhou Cheng is a toxic man.
Yao Yao is completely hooked, and now even her best friend is about to give in.
Li Meng suddenly realized that Zhou Cheng's gift of a Tomson Riviera apartment to each of them yesterday was not just a gesture of appeasement, but also a form of binding.
He brought them all into his world, allowing them to enjoy a life they never dared to dream of before.
Then, he used his irresistible charm to make them fall for him one by one, unable to extricate themselves.
That's a brilliant tactic.
That's terrifying.
Li Meng felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't know how long she could stay conscious in this game.
To break the awkward atmosphere, Li Meng suggested, "The weather's so nice, just sunbathing is boring, let's play water volleyball!"
"OK!"
This proposal once again received a unanimous response.
Soon, the pool was divided into two teams.
Zhou Cheng, Su Qingyao, Wang Jing, and Feng Fangfang form a team.
Qin Yue, Lin Wanwan, and Li Meng form a team.
The competition began, and the pool was filled with splashing water and laughter.
Zhou Cheng was naturally the focus of the entire event.
His physical attributes are undeniable; his jumping ability, strength, and reaction speed are unmatched by ordinary people.
The volleyball was in his hands; he could hit it wherever he wanted.
But instead of dominating everyone, he skillfully gave the opportunities to the girls around him.
When Su Qingyao misses a spike, he will smile, pat her head, and say, "It's okay, try again next time."
In an attempt to impress, Feng Fangfang made a diving save, which resulted in her choking on water. He would then help her up.
When it was Wang Jing's turn to serve, her hands trembled with nervousness, and the ball went wide.
"Don't be nervous, relax, like this."
Zhou Cheng walked behind her, took her wrist, and taught her the proper serving technique step by step.
His chest was almost pressed against her back.
Wang Jing's body stiffened once again.
She could feel his warm breath on her ear as he spoke, a ticklish, tingling sensation.
"Aim carefully, throw it, and then swing your arm."
Zhou Cheng's voice was very low.
Wang Jing's mind went blank, but she served the ball as he instructed.
A beautiful serve, a direct point.
"Wow! Jingjing, you're amazing!" Li Meng shouted from the other side.
When Wang Jing came to her senses, her cheeks were so hot they could fry an egg on them.
She quickly broke free from Zhou Cheng's "embrace" and ran to the other side of the pool.
Su Qingyao felt a pang of jealousy watching this scene, but seeing that Zhou Cheng was "teaching" her best friend how to play ball, she couldn't say anything.
She could only swim over and hug Zhou Cheng from behind, using her body to separate him from Wang Jing.
"Chengcheng, I want you to teach me too," she said coquettishly.
Zhou Cheng smiled and pinched her nose: "Okay, I'll teach you."
The volleyball match was a fierce battle with undercurrents.
Li Meng saw everything, and only one thought crossed her mind: Yao Yao, being the empress, must be really tired.
Not only do we have to guard against slutty and shameless women outside, but now we even have to guard against our own family members.
The person at the source of all this, however, seemed completely unaffected, enjoying it all with ease.
After the game, everyone was tired and went back to their rooms to shower and rest.
Zhou Cheng also returned to his study.
He had just finished dealing with a few emails and was about to relax when his phone vibrated.
It was a text message from an unknown number.
Zhou Cheng originally wanted to delete it directly, but after thinking about it, he opened it anyway.
Zhou Cheng, this is me, Chen Ting. Do you remember me?
Chen Ting?
Zhou Cheng thought for a moment before remembering the name.
She was his former colleague, and also the person he used to provoke Shen Lu's family last time.
Why would she contact me?
Zhou Cheng did not reply and continued reading.
[I heard you're doing really well these days, congratulations! I just got back to Jiangcheng and have some news; I wonder if you'd be interested.]
[It's about Zhao Liqiang. He's the man who ran off with all of Liu Mei's money and fled abroad.]
I stumbled upon his current whereabouts by chance.
Upon seeing the name "Zhao Liqiang," Zhou Cheng's eyes narrowed.
Liu Mei was one of the few former colleagues he still had some good feelings towards.
He helped Liu Mei just as a favor.
The man named Zhao Liqiang swindled a woman out of all her savings and feelings, and then vanished without a trace.
Zhou Cheng had almost forgotten about this matter.
Unexpectedly, we now have another clue.
He thought for a moment and replied with two words.
【where? 】
Chen Ting replied to her message instantly.
Want to know? Sure. Tonight at 8 PM, at the bar on the top floor of Bund 18, I'll be waiting for you. Come alone.
Zhou Cheng looked at the text message and smiled.
This woman is interesting.
It looks like this weekend won't be too boring.
