Chapter 1104: 1104
Yang Chen waved his hands in defeat when he realized that Lin Ruoxi was getting angry . “Don’t get upset, I…I was just asking . ”
Shame crept up into his mind . He had been thinking of her as a cold-blooded person even though she had always been a warm-hearted person to others .
“Stop dilly-dallying! Go quickly!” Lin Ruoxi ushered him .
Yang Chen knew he couldn’t waste any more time so he jumped out of the window after getting dressed!
Even though there were a lot of patrol guards in the mansion, it was easy for him to avoid them . With one jump, Yang Chen was already gone from the yard and he reappeared at a street slightly further away from the residential area .
He walked out of the gloomy corner and took a cab .
He asked the cab driver to drive him to the designated pub . Even though he was familiar with the geographical locations in Seoul, it was impossible to remember a small pub like this .
Yang Chen wasn’t bothered to think about the culprit, more worried about Li Jingjing’s safety .
No matter how long ago it was, Yang Chen couldn’t lie to himself or cover the fact that he did fall for her once .
Minutes later, the cab stopped at a narrow street and next to him was the pub .
Yang Chen walked to the entrance and he saw two Korean men in suits blocking the entrance . It was obvious that they had cleared the place while waiting for Yang Chen’s arrival .
“Chinese?” One of the men asked with a heavily accented Mandarin .
Yang Chen nodded as a response .
The two men moved away immediately while smirking at Yang Chen .
Yang Chen was unbothered by their expressions as he strolled into the pub .
The pub was gloomy and there were several Korean men were standing at each corner .
Under the dim light, Yang Chen could see the empty chairs and tables with empty glass bottles splattered across the floor .
The only eye-catching place was the bar .
A familiar-looking silhouette was sitting on a high stool, her high heels flashing red lights at him as she dangled her feet .
She smoked the cigarette and blew out white smoke before turning around to look at Yang Chen with an arrogant smile . “You came pretty quickly . I guess you really care about Vivian huh . ”
“Miss Yoo Yeonhee, I don’t think there are any grudges between us . ” Yang Chen sat next to her .
Yoo Yeonhee pushed a glass of whiskey to him before picking up her own glass and raising it at him .
A mocking gaze showed up in his eyes and it disappeared quickly as he raised his glass naturally before clinking her glass with his .
“Of course we don’t . I just invited you over for a drink . ” Yoo Yeonhee smiled and swallowed the amber liquid .
A disdainful smile formed at her lips when Yang Chen didn’t drink the whiskey . “Why, are you afraid that I’ll spike your drink? Please, why would I do that when you’re my grandfather’s guest?”
Yang Chen shrugged and drank the whiskey with furrowed brows as if it tasted bad .
Yoo Yeonhee sneered but her expression changed within a split second as she smoked for one last time before throwing it into the ashtray .
“I know you’re dying to meet Li Jingjing, but can you listen to my story first…”
Yang Chen could tell where Li Jingjing was even if Yoo Yeonhee wouldn’t tell him . But he didn’t mind going along with her since Li Jingjing wasn’t in danger .
“Of course, it’s my pleasure . ” Yang Chen smirked .
Yoo Yeonhee cocked her head gracefully and glanced at him with an amorous gaze . “I don’t get it . How are you popular with women when you’re not even handsome . ”
“Men aren’t the same as women . Looks are only advantageous when someone is looking at you . People look for other things in lovers . ” Yang Chen replied .
Yoo Yeonhee nodded . “It’s different for us . If we find out that the man we like fell for someone else, we will definitely doubt ourselves . ”
“A popular star like you also has troubles like this? But you’re so young and pretty though?” Yang Chen saw the timing and asked .
Yoo Yeonhee’s gaze darkened and she snorted . “Of course . At least that’s the case for Park Jonghyun . ”
“Park Jonghyun?” Yang Chen saw this coming but he still feigned surprise .
Following that, Yoo Yeonhee told him about her love story with Park Jonghyun .
Probably because of the alcohol, she choked on her tears as if she was overwhelmed by the emotions .
“You might be curious to know why I can date Park Jonghyun when he’s technically my cousin . Let me tell you this, he was actually adopted by my second uncle because they couldn’t bear a child . It didn’t matter if they adopted a child since they weren’t legitimate descendants . Grandfather was the one who chose him so the clan members valued him and never dared to badmouth him . Grandfather kept him by his side and appointed him Director which showed how much he valued him . Honestly, if I was in my grandfather’s position, I’d rather have Park Jonghyun as my heir instead of Zhenxiu . ”
Yang Chen nodded silently . Even though he kind of guessed it already, he was starting to believe that Park Jonghyun was not as calming as he looked .
Yoo Yeonhee continued, “I thought he dated me because he really loved me so even though my mom was against it, I chose to ignore her . Although we didn’t announce our relationship to the public, I was looking forward to the day we got married . I didn’t mind the gossip as long as he loved me . But…but he was a big fat liar! He ignored me completely when he confirmed that I didn’t have the moon ivory! I didn’t even know about the secret behind the moonstone and star constellation!”
Yoo Yeonhee was so close to crushing the glass with her bare hands . Her face was twisted from the immense hatred she had towards Park Jonghyun .
Yang Chen was surprised . “Why did he think you had it? Wasn’t it just an heirloom?”
Yoo Yeonhee snorted . “The moon ivory and star constellation are indeed the heirlooms and only the clan leader knows about the secret . But Park Jonghyun wasn’t sure if anyone else knew that . According to the information he got, the moon ivory was with one of the descendants . He thought Zhenxiu’s mother would never have it since she betrayed grandfather so he suspected me instead . Unfortunately, he made an error in judgment! He never expected grandfather to be so biased towards Aunt Jiye . Even if she betrayed him, the heirloom was still with Zhenxiu . ”
“You told me so many things and it’s making me curious about the heirloom now . Why is it needed for Zhenxiu to inherit the clan?” Yang Chen was interested .
“I want to know that too but I don’t have any idea or else I could’ve told you . ” Yoo Yeonhee smiled bitterly before looking at Yang Chen weirdly . “Aren’t you afraid? This place is filled with my people . ”
“Why wouldn’t I be? My wife’s going to suspect me if I went home too late . ” Yang Chen scratched his head sheepishly .
Yoo Yeonhee giggled . “Are Chinese men all cowards? I don’t get why people fall for cowards like you . Vivian doesn’t like Park Jonghyun because of you . But it’s a good thing for me since Park Jonghyun would suffer a crushing defeat . I’ll have you let go of yourself today!”
“What do you mean?” Yang Chen seemed lost .
“Don’t you feel weird?”
“Weird?” Yang Chen sucked in a breath and touched his body . “I…feel kind of hot…”
”Hot? This is just the beginning…you won’t even feel the heat soon…”
Yang Chen sounded shocked . “You…you poisoned me?!”
Yoo Yeonhee smiled mysteriously and snapped her fingers instead of answering him .
