Chapter 158: Chapter 158: It’s Actually Her

VIP private room.

Chen Feng sat on the leather sofa, narrowing his eyes, pondering what sort of conspiracy Zhong Siquan could be up to.

Just then, Zhong Siquan pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Zhong Siquan said apologetically with a smile, sitting down beside Chen Feng.

"Young Master Zhong is so generous today, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer. However, I’m particularly curious about something. Would you care to explain?" Chen Feng asked with a faint smile.

"What?" asked Zhong Siquan.

"We don’t need to state the obvious about our relationship, but why would you think of making peace with me? It wouldn’t be some kind of plot to harm me, would it?" Chen Feng asked, his expression suddenly becoming stern, narrowing his eyes as he spoke coldly.

"How... how could I possibly harm you? You shouldn’t make such accusations!" Zhong Siquan’s face tensed up and beads of sweat ran down his forehead as he stammered.

His gaze also became evasive, not daring to meet Chen Feng’s eyes directly.

This made Chen Feng even more certain that Zhong Siquan was up to no good.

However, Chen Feng didn’t confront him outright, but rather flashed a grin and patted Zhong Siquan on the shoulder, saying, "Relax, I’m just kidding!"

"Ha ha ha, Chen Feng, you really have a sense of humor!" Zhong Siquan wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed with relief, laughing.

He was extremely nervous, especially with the plan about to be executed.

Considering how formidable Chen Feng had been in the past, Zhong Siquan felt a certain wariness toward him, fearing that Chen Feng might see through his plan.

Soon, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and a male waiter carrying drinks entered.

It was the same male waiter who had met with Zhong Siquan outside earlier.

After entering the private room, the waiter exchanged a look with Zhong Siquan before bringing the drinks over to the coffee table, removing two bottles of beer, opening them, and placing one in front of each, Zhong Siquan and Chen Feng.

Having done all this, the male waiter looked at Zhong Siquan, winked, then put on a professional smile and asked, "Young Master Zhong, your drinks are here. Is there anything else you need?"

Understanding the meaning behind the waiter’s wink, Zhong Siquan joyfully waved his hand and said, "That’s all, you can go now."

"Have a good time!" The waiter said and then quickly left the private room.

"Come on, Chen Feng, let’s have one. Consider it a conciliatory drink!"

Zhong Siquan picked up the beer in front of him and gestured to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng nodded, also picked up his beer, and clinked it with Zhong Siquan’s before lifting it to his mouth.

Zhong Siquan kept an eye on Chen Feng from the corner of his eye, especially when Chen Feng brought the bottle to his lips, his heart thumping in his throat.

He knew that the male waiter had slipped something into Chen Feng’s beer; if Chen Feng drank it, his plan for the evening could succeed.

So he eagerly watched Chen Feng, silently praying that he would quickly drink the beer.

However, after bringing the bottle to his lips, Chen Feng paused slightly and then set the beer bottle down without drinking.

Seeing this, Zhong Siquan’s expression changed and he asked hastily, "Chen Feng, why aren’t you drinking?"

"Young Master Zhong hasn’t answered my earlier question yet. I really can’t drink this conciliatory drink!" Chen Feng said with a slight smirk.

"What question? Do you mean why I want to make peace with you? It’s simple. Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy, especially someone as exceptional as you. Chen Feng, I truly want to be your friend!" Zhong Siquan said earnestly.

His act was incredibly convincing.

He couldn’t care less now, as long as he could get Chen Feng to drink the drugged beer, he’d let him do anything.

"So it’s like that, I guess I have no choice but to drink this." Chen Feng smiled, picked up the beer again, and put the bottle to his lips.

Zhong Siquan stared intensely at Chen Feng, praying in his heart, "You must drink it! You must drink it!"

However, just as Chen Feng was about to tilt his head back and drink,

at that moment, the door to the private room was pushed open again by someone from outside, and a waitress walked in.

This time, however, it was a female waitress.

"Excuse me, did you order some drinks?" the waitress asked after entering the room.

With the aid of the light, Chen Feng could see the waitress’s face clearly.

That beautiful, fair face made Chen Feng stunned,

because the waitress was none other than Coastal High School’s beauty, Lin Mengyao’s desk mate and best friend, Tang Yuxin!

As Chen Feng recognized Tang Yuxin, she also recognized him.

This stunned her as well.

Then, almost simultaneously, they both exclaimed in surprise, "It’s you!"

The familiarity made them both stunned again, and then they both laughed.

"How come you’re working as a waitress here?" asked Chen Feng, puzzled.

He had heard some things about Tang Yuxin from Wang Hao before.

Although Tang Yuxin’s family wasn’t extremely wealthy, they were a middle-class family and she didn’t need to work part-time.

"I was bored staying at home, so I came out to find a temporary job to earn some extra money," Tang Yuxin explained with a smile, showing two cute dimples.

"So that’s why," Chen Feng realized. It turned out she was just bored at home and came out for some fun.

Due to their relationship back in school, Tang Yuxin and Chen Feng were already acquainted, and with her lively personality, she felt no restraint now.

She walked over and sat next to Chen Feng, patted his shoulder, and pointing at Zhong Siquan, she asked in surprise, "Chen Feng, you’re actually drinking with Zhong Siquan? Am I seeing things?"

"You’re not seeing things. Today Young Master Zhong is feeling generous and insisted on being the host, covering all expenses. I naturally had to come," Chen Feng replied with a laugh.

"Really?" Tang Yuxin blinked her eyes, looking at Zhong Siquan skeptically.

"Of course it’s true. I’m covering all expenses today," Zhong Siquan nodded, saying very generously.

"I should’ve known. I’ve been busy this whole time and I’m nearly dying of thirst. I won’t stand on ceremony then."

As she said this, Tang Yuxin directly snatched the beer from Chen Feng’s hands and tipped her head back to drink.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Siquan’s expression changed drastically.

That beer had been drugged, specifically prepared for Chen Feng.

But now that Chen Feng hadn’t had a sip yet, Tang Yuxin had already snatched it and finished it.

This completely disrupted his plan!
