Chapter 839: Chapter 840 Grinning on the Surface

"It is true that when one wishes to condemn someone, any excuse will do," at this moment, his heart actually harbored a vague sense of relief.

On the day Sheng Minjia sought him out privately, Han Zhicheng had indeed been tempted.

But in the end, he had struggled to choose refusal.

Moreover, to make Sheng Minjia give up hope, he even used Xi Yiling as an excuse, claiming that the one he truly liked was Xi Yiling.

Now, he had finally seen Sheng Minjia’s true colors.

Thus, his heart was no longer in any turmoil.

But, but he really hadn’t taken advantage of Sheng Minjia!

This matter, it must be clarified, it must be made clear!

Although Han Zhicheng was timid, when it came to matters of principle, he always stood firm.

He had once loved and naturally had pursued.

But now, to be falsely accused by the woman he had once liked, there was an inexplicable pain in his heart.

Still, what needed to be explained had to be explained; he didn’t want his reputation to be ruined as well.

However, Duan Jiahao certainly wouldn’t believe him.

Xi Yiling was Han Zhicheng’s classmate, and although she was also Sheng Minjia’s classmate, Duan Jiahao always trusted his own eyes above all.

When he had burst into the room earlier, he had indeed seen Han Zhicheng grabbing Sheng Minjia’s wrist.

Facts speak louder than words; anything else said is false.

Perhaps, in Duan Jiahao’s heart, he didn’t really care about the truth of the matter.

At this moment, what truly interested him was the girl named Xi Yiling.

Yes, girl should be the correct term.

A woman who is still a virgin, if not a girl then what?

Duan Jiahao looked at Han Zhicheng with a teasing gaze, then slowly shifted his attention to Xi Yiling.

After a brief moment of panic earlier, the girl now confidently raised her head, looking directly at Duan Jiahao without any intention of retreat.

"She’s a wild horse, huh!" Duan Jiahao felt a thrill of excitement in his heart.

And after that, his gaze moved away.

There were other people in the room, and he would ultimately notice Li Changlin.

Moving his gaze, Duan Jiahao looked toward Li Changlin.

Instantly, his eyes narrowed, and a look of surprise and suspicion fleetingly crossed his face.

"Li Changlin!" Duan Jiahao quickly reacted, biting his lip, and he shouted fiercely.

"Duan Jiahao," Li Changlin smiled serenely. Seeing Duan Jiahao’s pretentious behavior reminded him of the time when Duan Jiahao had been humiliated by him.

In fact, when Li Changlin and Duan Jiahao had encountered each other, the prop for delivering the slap in the face had been the Hanfrost Car Key.

Because at that time, Li Changlin preferred to keep a low profile and didn’t want to cause a scene.

Thus, he had chosen to take out the car key.

Li Changlin knew that Duan Jiahao was certainly no fool. After seeing the Hanfrost Car Key, he definitely started to overthink things and undoubtedly felt wary.

In this way, Li Changlin easily rid himself of the fellow.

In fact, these past few days, Duan Jiahao often found himself thinking about Li Changlin.

Especially since the rumor about Li Changlin and Luo Tianyi had spread, it had truly annoyed him for quite some time.

Later, when Duan Jiahao asked Luo Tianyi several times, he only received denials.

However, from that point on, doubt increasingly crept into Duan Jiahao’s mind, and he harbored deep resentment towards Li Changlin.

Being humiliated, embarrassed, and even ruining the alliance selection activity he co-organized turned into a mess, which made it hard for Duan Jiahao to save face.

It was also due to these reasons that he finally decided to promote Gu Maoxue and cunningly gave Li Changlin a hard time.

Since there was still some time before the Spring Festival, the market for Spring Festival couplets wasn’t too bustling.

But even in the market, several couplets written by Li Changlin had already been changed to bear the name of Gu Maoxue.

To all this, Duan Jiahao was completely indifferent.

Moreover, this matter had been tacitly approved by the Provincial Writers Association, so Duan Jiahao wasn’t afraid that Li Changlin would play any tricks.

Of course, having done so many sneaky things behind the scenes, Duan Jiahao always felt somewhat guilty.

So, hearing Li Changlin’s authoritative voice, even though he wasn’t afraid of Li Changlin, his heart still involuntarily tightened.

Sheng Minjia, who was close beside him, naturally sensed it.

She looked up at him with confusion, utterly unaware of why Duan Jiahao would be wary of this young man.

Aside from looking handsome, this man didn’t seem to have any outstanding qualities!

Sheng Minjia couldn’t figure it out!

"Li Changlin, this matter is none of your business, you’d best not cause trouble!" Though somewhat guilty, Duan Jiahao was not afraid of Li Changlin.

At that moment, Fang Mingqiang, who stood behind, stepped forward. He glanced at Li Changlin with a complex look and said with a hypocritical smile, "So it really is you, Changlin. I thought I saw wrong just now."

A smile in front, a knife in the back — Fang Mingqiang, a businessman, of course, wouldn’t show his true emotions.

After all, Li Changlin was a friend of Bai Zicong. Despite losing face that day, Fang Mingqiang had secretly schemed against Li Changlin.

By now, he had already learned that Li Changlin not only failed to pass through the Xuanyuan Voice of Nanfu Province selection but also seemed to have no future in Southern Yue Province.

Knowing that Li Changlin hadn’t participated in Xuanyuan Voice, Fang Mingqiang thought it was Duan Jiahao’s doing, especially since Luo Xuehai had already given him the lowdown, saying he had notified Duan Jiahao.

Fang Mingqiang naturally knew Duan Jiahao. They were all people in the circle. The friend of a friend is naturally a friend, and due to Luo Xuehai’s relationship, they had naturally become good friends.

Moreover, to maintain a good relationship with Duan Jiahao, he even sent Sheng Minjia, whom he had just won over, to him.

A woman is just a piece of clothing, after all, Fang Mingqiang might be from the Fang Family, but as a member of a collateral branch, he needed to pay a huge price to expand his business and stand out in the family.

And Sheng Minjia, she didn’t even count as a real cost.

"Fang Mingqiang." There’s a saying, "You don’t slap a smiling face." With Fang Mingqiang stepping forward to greet him, Li Changlin naturally couldn’t be cold.

However, what needed to be said, still had to be said.

Looking at both of them, he spoke calmly, "Today’s matter actually does concern me, as I used Room Number Two that Miss Sheng had already booked. It’s precisely because of this that Miss Sheng is angry. Here, I would like to apologize to Miss Sheng. Additionally, as Miss Sheng has said, according to the rules of Zhicheng Recording Studio, since I infringed upon Miss Sheng’s rights, it’s only right that I provide compensation. So, Duan Jiahao, let’s call it quits. I offer 320,000 yuan as compensation to Miss Sheng, how about that?"

Li Changlin being amicable with Duan Jiahao was, in fact, also giving Luo Tianyi some face.
