Gao Shan chose a high-end restaurant that had been very popular recently. It seemed as if this was the only way to show that his status had not changed.
There were people coming and going in the restaurant, so Gao Shan acted completely different from his usual aggressive self in the clubhouse.
Zheng Yan had known Gao Shan for so many years and the two of them had been in a secret relationship for no less than three years. They had never dared to go on a date so openly in a place with so many people. Gao Shan had never been so considerate.
Zheng Yan blamed Gao Shan’s abnormalities on him being a sore loser. Gao Shan had already gone crazy. He didn’t even care that the public eye was on Zheng Yan. He only cared about his own reputation, so he brought her to this restaurant. Zheng Yan scolded him for being an idiot inwardly, but she still obeyed. After all, only those who had experienced being strangled would know the fear.

Zheng Yan could hear the threat in his tone. It was as if she would turn into a steak on a plate in the next second if she didn’t eat it.
Zheng Yan became more and more afraid of this person. He wasn’t only crazy, but also a psychopath! She liked to eat steak? She had never eaten steak with him before!
However, Zheng Yan still smiled and picked up a piece of steak with her fork and placed it into her mouth.
When Gao Shan saw Zheng Yan’s red lips moving as she chewed, it was as if he was seeing another person through her.
Gao Shan said, “Don’t worry. As long as the video stays on the trending searches for three days, we will get what we want.”
What did Gao Shan want? He wanted to drag Shi Lu down with him and get that person to help him deal with Li Ci. No, he had changed his mind now. He wanted Yuan Shu to kneel in front of him and beg for mercy. He wanted to trample on Yuan Shu’s pride and make her beg for his love.
Zheng Yan hesitated before asking, “Why do you have to frame Shi Lu? He doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the business world.”
Gao Shan sneered as he used a knife to cut the medium-rare steak on his plate. He cut it along the muscles of the meat, and bright red blood hung on the roasted steak.
He replied, “Because his surname is Shi, and he’s everyone’s target. You can’t ask about the specifics.”
Zheng Yan shut up and ate the steak on her plate. She could feel the gazes of the people around her and even felt that there was a hidden camera that was secretly taking photos of her. She was now a public figure, so once the photos were posted online, she could imagine what the comments would be like.
[The female lead of the casting couch incident actually interfered in someone else’s marriage?]
Or perhaps, [Was the casting couch incident all an act?]
Zheng Yan couldn’t help but resent Gao Shan. Once the netizens started to help Shi Lu, all their efforts would be in vain. Did he still expect the person behind him to continue helping them? What a joke!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLast night, Gao Shan bribed the attendant to send the drugged wine to Shi Lu. At that time, Shi Lu was chatting enthusiastically with Zhang Zhang and didn’t notice that there was a problem with the wine. When the drug was about to take effect, Gao Shan asked the attendant to send him a room card.
As soon as Shi Lu opened the door with the room card, the effects of the drug kicked in. He didn’t even have time to step into the room before he collapsed and it was Zheng Yan who caught him quickly.
Gao Shan frowned. “Why? Could it be that you pity every single man and you can’t bear to see him ruined?”
Zheng Yan rolled her eyes at him. “If there are injuries on his face or bruises on his body, how are you going to explain things tomorrow? Are you going to argue with those netizens? Alright, cut the crap. Come and take a video.”
At that time, Gao Shan was in a good mood and didn’t care about the impatience in Zheng Yan’s tone. After helping the weak Shi Lu stand at the door, he started filming.
Unexpectedly, Shi Lu accidentally helped him in the end. Since Shi Lu no longer had the strength to support his body, he fell towards the room and pressed against Zheng Yan’s body. Then, Zheng Yan supported him.
From the perspective of Gao Shan’s video, it was as if Shi Lu had forced his way in when he saw that he couldn’t convince Zheng Yan.
In the end, their plan succeeded. Worried that they would be discovered, they threw Shi Lu onto the bed and left as soon as possible.
After that, Gao Shan felt smug and started drinking on the rooftop. He didn’t expect to meet Yuan Shu, who was looking for Shi Lu, then the scene of Yuan Shu beating Gao Shan up happened..
