Endless Fall-Chapter 161 - 161 Beyond Ordinary Friends

161 Beyond Ordinary Friends

“If she doesn’t have time to meet you, you can send flowers and lunch to the hospital.”

“Personally?”

Pei Yilan drank the champagne Jiang Ye handed her and frowned. “Otherwise, do you still want the delivery man to send it?”

Zhou Yanshen actually thought so.

In the past, he only needed to wave at those women and they would come. He never needed to do anything himself.

“I’ll give it a try.” Perhaps driven by curiosity, he was not averse to treating her in another way.

“If you want to be serious this time, then be serious.” Pei Zhi looked into his eyes. “Don’t be like before.”

“I know.”

“Your girlfriend is here.” Qu Shao saw Qian Yue and turned around to remind Zhou Yanshen.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Zhou Yanshen pulled out the chair on the left and looked in her direction.

When their gazes met, Qian Yue gave him a gentle smile.

She took the wine glass from him and drank with the rest of them before talking about the interesting things that had happened recently.

“How many surgeries did you do today?” Zhou Yanshen leaned to the left and stared at her side profile.

“Two.”

“Did they take long?”

“Not really.” Qian Yue smelt alcohol on his breath and couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

Her expression did not change. “Average two hours for each.”

“Is two hours considered a big surgery?”

“There’s no difference between big and small. There’s only a difference between high and low risk.”

“Is that so?” Zhou Yanshen smiled.

He smiled roguishly, and his unique charm was revealed in a second. “I don’t know much about surgeries.”

Qian Yue just wanted to say that he broke the rules.

“It’s normal.” She swirled the red wine glass and suppressed the urge to kiss him. “What did you major in in university?”

“Finance.” 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

“Why aren’t you in the finance field then?”

“I’m not interested.” Zhou Yanshen lit a cigarette. “Learning finance was what my parents wanted me to do.”

Qian Yue could guess that ‘Star River’ was his dream.

She clinked glasses with Zhou Yanshen. As it was not appropriate for them to only talk to each other, they joined the conversation with the rest of the people.

The lively atmosphere lasted until Chu Yuzhou appeared.

He cursed as he walked into the dining room, “Bo Yu was shut down last night because of two bastards!”

Zhou Yanshen frowned when he heard that. “What’s going on?”

“They were arrested by plainclothes police officers when they were playing something in the private room. Then, they asked me to close down my business.”

“What kind of things?”

“Marijuana.” Chu Yuzhou was furious. “This is the first time people had the ball to do that in Bo Yu Club.”

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment. “Did someone instruct them to do it?”

“No.” He drank half of his glass. “But they were brought in by a friend of Song Zhen’s.”

“Song Zhen?!” Pei Yilan was shocked.

She observed Lin Jiao’s expression and asked, “Was he also at Bo Yu last night?”

“At first, he was there. When the two bastards started having fun, he left with the girls.”

“And when did plainclothes officers arrive?”

“About half an hour after he left.”

Jiang Ye, who had read many scripts, had a guess. “Is it possible that he reported it to the police?”

“It’s very likely.” Zhou Yanshen had the same guess as him. “Song Zhen left at a very good time.”

“So you mean he has a grudge against those two and is deliberately using this trick to put them behind the bars?”

“Yes, you can check again.”

“Song Zhen is quite good at finding places to set up his trap.” Qu Shao was certain that he was the one who did it. He clicked his tongue and said, “Isn’t he afraid of offending you?”

Chu Yuzhou took out his phone and sent a WeChat message.

He sneered. “He’s Master Song. Why would he care about a small fry like me?” 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

“He is no freaking master!”

“Why not? He’s rich and handsome. His lackeys have infiltrated every corner of Lin City.”

“F*ck him!” Qu Shao had never seen someone so arrogant. “He’ll fall to his death sooner or later.”

The more Lin Jiao listened, the more puzzled she became.

She bit the tip of her chopsticks. “Is the Song Zhen you’re talking about the Song Zhen I know?”

“That’s right.”

“Why do I feel that it’s a different person?”

“How is it different?” Pei Zhi was very curious about her impression of Song Zhen.

“He keeps a low profile and has a simple private life.”

“Simple?”

Lin Jiao’s impression of him was indeed that. “He rarely changes girlfriends and doesn’t mess around with the women in the club.”

“He’s so good at pretending.” Chu Yuzhou did not expect him to have two faces.

Pei Yilan did not expect this either.

She swallowed the food in her mouth. “Although I rarely hang out with them, he does give me a much better feeling than He Qi.”

“He’s too good at pretending.” Shen Yi felt disgusted at the thought of what he saw in the surveillance footage last time.

He picked up the cigarette box on the table. “He’s been pretending all these years, but none of you noticed it. I think he deserves to be the Oscar best actor.”

“That’s all he can do, pretending and lying.”

“As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Zhou Yanshen could not understand. “Isn’t he tired of pretending in front of everyone?”

“Not everyone.” Qian Yue suddenly remembered the first time she saw Song Zhen. “I think he only pretends in front of us.”

“Why?”

“Because of Jiaojiao.”

“That bastard likes Jiaojiaor?” Chu Yuzhou’s face was filled with disdain.

“I’m not sure, but he definitely has a good impression of me.”

“Did he tell you that?”

“I can tell.”

Qian Yue wiped her lips. “The degree of concern and care he shows towards Jiaojiao exceeds that of an ordinary friend.”

“Why didn’t I notice?” Pei Yilan was shocked again.

“His affection for Jiaojiao is very short-lived. When I saw him last year, he was no longer interested in her.”

“Then why is he still pretending?”

“He’s just used to pretending.”

“It’s very difficult to take off a mask after wearing it for too long.” Jiang Ye had seen too many similar people in the entertainment industry.

He put food into Pei Yilan’s bowl. “It’s like building a persona. Over time, it’s very easy to forget who you really are.”

Zhou Yanshen nodded. “Indeed.” He looked at Chu Yuzhou again. “How long will Bo Yu be closed for business?”

“Three days.”

“That’s not too bad.”

“Take this as a lesson.” Shen Yi comforted him gently. “Be careful in the future. Don’t get caught again.”

Chu Yuzhou lit the cigar. “I won’t.” It was impossible for him to fall in the same place twice.

“How do you plan to deal with them?” Qu Shao drank the last mouthful of soup before putting down his chopsticks.

“They’ll have to compensate and get beaten up.”

“Including that bastard?”
