Chapter 180 - 180 181 Mockery (4)_1
?Chapter 180: Chapter 181: Mockery (4)_1 Chapter 180: Chapter 181: Mockery (4)_1 How did he not notice that Shen Liangnian’s expression back then was especially ugly?
As Cong Rong thought about it, he suddenly remembered last night when, in the middle of the night, Shen Liangnian showed up at his doorstep with a large bag of beer, begging him to keep him company and drink with him all night long. By the end of it, Shen Liangnian was there mumbling incessantly.
“It’s over, Jing Haohao and I are really done…”
“She surely won’t want me anymore…”
“Cong Rong, you don’t know, I genuinely like Haohao, I genuinely wanted to marry her, how come there had to be such a major setback!”
Shen Liangnian has been his university classmate, and their relationship has been very close; he really considered Shen Liangnian as a friend, which is why he introduced Liang Chen to him.
At that time, seeing Shen Liangnian struggling so hard on his own made him unable to bear to watch.
However, after all his thinking, he never would have imagined that both of his friends he had played matchmaker for, would both vie for the same woman.
Wasn’t Jing Haohao engaged to Shen Liangnian? Why is she now with Liang Chen?
As a minor, barely well-known third-tier actress, how could she possibly attract the “Young Emperor” who is high above all?
Therefore, the only possible way that Jing Haohao met Liang Chen must be because of Shen Liangnian, right?
This woman, who seems to be very demure at first glance, why is she so manipulative?
Once she met someone better, did she immediately kick away the old one?
The more Cong Rong thought about it, the more resentment he felt. No wonder, she left Shen Liangnian’s world without saying a word, even causing Shen Liangnian to live in constant fear. At the time when Shen Liangnian’s business was in trouble… he had mentioned asking for Liang Chen’s help, but Liang Chen did not show any willingness to help, which means…
Upon thinking of this, Cong Rong lifted his head, looked at Liang Chen and asked, “She has been with you for two months?”
Liang Chen hummed in answer without saying anything else.
Cong Rong’s heart went cold, that makes sense, that makes sense… Liang Chen is not an indifferent person, but the way he stood by watching Shen Liangnian struggle last time seemed off. He had not been able to understand it, but he understood it now. This woman is to blame, she caused Liang Chen to not help Shen Liangnian!
Cong Rong, being a straightforward person with no need to beat around the bush, looked at Liang Chen and asked, “Knowing that she was Shen Liangnian’s woman, why would you still want her?”
Shen Liangnian’s woman…
Those five words made Jing Haohao’s face turn pale and Liang Chen’s gaze become stormy.
“Cong Rong, weren’t you here to eat? Why bring up these matters now?” Liang Chen shades his eyes with his lashes, speaking airily; yet there was a touch of displeasure.
Cong Rong opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Liang Chen’s emotionless demeanor, decided to shut up.
The food arrived soon after.
The Drunken Fairy Building is one of the top restaurants in Jiangshan city, with excellent and delicious food.
However, the three of them did not have the lively atmosphere they had earlier.
As Cong Rong ate, he occasionally glanced at Jing Haohao. When she realized he was watching her, she would subtly lift her eyelashes, only to see the undisguised disgust and annoyance in his eyes.
Jing Haohao knew she deserved it. She was meant to belong to Shen Liangnian, but now she was with his friend.
Upon seeing Jing Haohao’s indifference, Cong Rong couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of injustice on Shen Liangnian’s behalf.
He was never good at holding back. So, he couldn’t help but lift up his head, look at Liang Chen, and ask, “Chen, do you remember the incident when Liangnian had a mishap a while ago?”
