"Cheng Lu, your father is after all the head of Jiangcheng..."
Shen Liang said angrily.
However, halfway through, he was stopped by Cheng Lu.
"Shen Liang, don't babble. I just like being with a hairdresser, what's it to you?"
Cheng Lu deliberately said the word "hairdresser" very loudly.
At the same time, she stepped on Chen Feng with her foot.
Chen Feng understood and directly reached out to hold Cheng Lu's slender waist.
This scene made Shen Liang furious.
Has Cheng Lu gone crazy? He is, after all, the young master of Gui Xinyuan Group in Jiangcheng, and he's not a high-class match for the daughter of a Jiangcheng leader. He had been pursuing Cheng Lu for several years and hadn't even held her hand. A mere hairdresser was directly embracing her waist.
"Take your stinking paws off."
Shen Liang roared at Chen Feng.
"I'm holding my confidante, is there a problem?"
Chen Feng said deliberately in a flirtatious manner.
"Believe it or not, I'll call someone to beat you so badly that your own mother won't recognize you!"
Shen Liang shouted menacingly.
"I don't believe it."
Chen Feng deliberately held Cheng Lu tighter. If it weren't for Cheng Lu's special status, he would have been kissing her all over.
"You..."
Shen Liang was so angry that he took out his phone to call for help.
"Shen Liang, I advise you not to call anyone. Others may fear you, but I don't. If you dare to mess around, believe it or not, my father's phone call can make your father kneel and beg him?"
Cheng Lu stared at Shen Liang with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing Cheng Lu's words, Shen Liang gloomily put his phone away.
In today's society, money alone can't cover the sky. There are leaders above who exert pressure.
A word from a leader can make the entire Jiangcheng tremble.
To be honest, it was precisely because of this reason that he had patiently pursued Cheng Lu, hoping to climb up to the Jiangcheng leader.
As the saying goes, a big tree provides shade.
"Cheng Lu, I know you're angry with me. I promise I'll bother you less in the future. Don't be angry, and don't randomly find a loser to demean yourself. Seeing you like this makes my heart ache."
If the hard approach didn't work, he would try the soft approach.
"Shen Liang, stop your pretense. I have nothing to do with you, and I don't need your false sympathy. Now, you can leave. I'm going to have dinner and drinks with Tony..."
Cheng Lu deliberately emphasized the word "drinks" loudly.
"Cheng Lu, you're demeaning yourself!"
Shen Liang trembled with anger.
To be precise, he was unwilling.
Damn it, he, a rich second generation, couldn't get Cheng Lu, but a mere hairdresser did. Who would believe it if it got out?
"I'm willing!"
Cheng Lu said, deliberately trying to anger Shen Liang.
"Fine, if you're willing, I can't control that. But I can eat at the table next to you, that's my freedom too."
Shen Liang replied with a sinister smile.
According to Cheng Lu's personality, she wouldn't demean herself. It was possible she was deliberately trying to make him leave, so he had to stay and expose her.
When Shen Liang said this, Cheng Lu felt a bit dizzy.
She had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own foot. After all her calculations, she hadn't expected Shen Liang to have some brains.
"If you want to watch, then watch. Tony, let's go for drinks..."
Cheng Lu could only grit her teeth and go along with it.
"Xiao Lu, maybe we should skip it. We just drank last night."
Chen Feng quickly made an excuse. The fake show couldn't be taken too seriously.
"Drink, we must drink! I'm in a good mood today."
Cheng Lu shouted loudly.
With Shen Liang nearby, she had to put on a brave face, otherwise, Shen Liang would continue to pester her like a lingering spirit.
With Cheng Lu being so resolute, Chen Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and enter the restaurant with her.
Shen Liang, with a sinister smile, chose a table next to them.
To provoke Shen Liang, Cheng Lu deliberately ordered a large bottle of white wine.
Chen Feng, having worked part-time in white wine sales during college, knew what kind of wine this was – Russian vodka, a high-proof white spirit.
"Xiao Lu, this wine is a bit strong, let's get something else."
Chen Feng said softly.
"I want it strong, how else can I indulge myself?"
Cheng Lu deliberately emphasized the word "indulge" loudly.
Chen Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink vodka with Cheng Lu.
Having worked in white wine sales, his alcohol tolerance was decent.
The problem was that Cheng Lu was a woman, and her alcohol tolerance was usually average. After a few glasses of vodka, she got drunk.
"Tony, I feel dizzy, let's quickly get a room..."
Cheng Lu said, tipsy.
At this moment, Cheng Lu wasn't completely drunk; she still had a sliver of consciousness.
"Cheng Lu, did you really mess around with this stinky hairdresser?"
Shen Liang trembled with rage.
"Yes."
Under the influence of alcohol, Cheng Lu, ignoring the restraint of a maiden, directly hooked her arm around Chen Feng's neck.
"Fine, you win!"
Infuriated, Shen Liang turned and left.
Damn it, looking at such a slutty woman was annoying. He had to go to a nightclub to indulge himself to calm his mood.
As for the alliance with the Cheng family for a strong union, there would be time later.
"Miss Cheng, Shen Liang has left."
Chen Feng said softly.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Lu didn't say a word.
Chen Feng instinctively looked over. Oh no, Cheng Lu had fallen asleep, still hooking her arm around his neck.
It had to be said, the after-effects of vodka were truly potent.
Looking at the sleeping Cheng Lu, Chen Feng felt a bit dizzy.
Should he drive back to Mingshan Town or stay at a hotel in Jiangcheng City for the night?
After a moment of thought, Chen Feng decided it would be better for Cheng Lu to rest at the hotel for the night.
The car was being used by Qin Yan. If Cheng Lu vomited all over it, he wouldn't be able to account for it to Qin Yan.
Having decided to stay, Chen Feng instinctively patted his pockets.
As he felt around, he couldn't help but shiver.
Holy cow, he forgot his phone and wallet.
What should he do now?
With no other option, Chen Feng had to brace himself and rummage through Cheng Lu's pockets.
He didn't find anything except a card that looked like a bank card, which happened to have the hotel's name on it.
Chen Feng tried handing the card to the hotel manager.
"Manager, can this be used to book a room?"
The hotel manager initially looked down on Chen Feng. However, when the card was presented, the hotel manager's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn.
This was an internal hotel card, and it was the highest-level internal card, allowing for unlimited stays at the hotel.
This kind of internal hotel card was only held by the leadership of Jiangcheng.
Strange, this man didn't look like he belonged to the Jiangcheng leadership at all. How could he have such a hotel internal card?
"Do you have any larger rooms?"
Seeing that he had stumbled upon a solution and that the card in Cheng Lu's pocket could be used to book a hotel, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, I'll take you there."
After speaking, the hotel manager directly led Chen Feng and Cheng Lu into a VIP room.
Originally, this hotel internal card would have allowed them to stay in the hotel's presidential suite for free. However, unfortunately, the presidential suite was fully booked today, so they had to make do with a VIP room.
Cheng Lu's biggest characteristic when drunk was her sleepiness. She slept soundly and didn't cause any trouble.
Chen Feng really liked Cheng Lu's drinking behavior; she didn't talk nonsense or act outrageously when drunk.
Thus, Chen Feng slept on the table all night.
The next morning, Cheng Lu woke up from her deep sleep. Seeing Chen Feng slumped over the table, she felt very relieved.
If it had been Shen Liang, they probably would have "fought eight hundred rounds" last night.
Just as Cheng Lu was wondering whether to wake Chen Feng, her phone suddenly rang. Cheng Lu quickly went out to the balcony to answer the call.
"Cheng Lu, you're back in Jiangcheng and you didn't tell your father?"
Cheng Liren said softly as he organized the Jiangcheng government's conference report for the past few days, completely devoid of the stern demeanor of a Jiangcheng official.
"Dad, you're so busy, I didn't want to disturb you. I'll be back in Mingshan Town today."
"Back to Mingshan Town? How about this, why don't you come back to Jiangcheng? Dad can arrange for you to join a municipal unit."
Cheng Liren persuaded Cheng Lu.
He had only one daughter, whom he cherished like a treasure since childhood. How could he bear to see her suffer in a small town?
"Dad, haven't I told you? I want to rely on my own abilities. I don't want to live under your wing."
As Cheng Lu spoke, she subconsciously glanced at the sleeping Chen Feng by the table, and a reason to stay in Mingshan Town inexplicably grew in her heart...
