Chapter 113: 113 Turn the hand into clouds, cover the hand with rain

The so-called goddess, seemingly unapproachable at first glance, might actually be more submissive than the average girl.

Of course,

the premise is that one must first crush her pride.

Had it been any other girl in this situation, she would’ve at least argued with Jiang Chen for a while, but Li Shuru lightly glossed over it, easily letting Jiang Chen go.

"Shu Rui, you can’t believe his nonsense, he must be ’eating from the bowl while looking at the pot,’ all men are like that!"

After Jiang Chen left, Zheng Jingjing immediately sat down next to her, still indignant.

"Shu Rui, how did he explain it to you?"

Guo Ran, who came over with her, asked tentatively, obviously calmer than Zheng Jingjing.

"He knew Luo Li’er before this."

"What?"

Xu Siyi’s eyes widened in surprise.

Li Shuru calmly repeated the explanation Jiang Chen had given to her.

"He hit Luo Li’er with his car? You believe such nonsense?"

Zheng Jingjing, who was already angry, undoubtedly thought that Jiang Chen was a liar through and through, and started to regret her previous compassion.

If Shu Rui was deceived in love, then she couldn’t shirk her responsibility.

"I think what Jiang Chen said is probably true. Didn’t Luo Li’er admit it as well?"

Guo Ran murmured.

"They’re both acting!"

"Jin Jin, you don’t really think Jiang Chen has that much charm, do you? Everyone in school knows he and Shu Rui are hot together, and Luo Li’er is, after all, a candidate for campus belle; she wouldn’t stoop to seducing a married man."

Xu Siyi spoke plainly, but also fairly.

Zheng Jingjing frowned slightly, suppressing her impulsive emotions, and upon thinking it over, she found it made sense.

"...Luo Li’er might not, but we can’t be sure Jiang Chen isn’t up to no good. Shu Rui, you should be careful."

She earnestly reminded her.

Xu Siyi and Guo Ran looked at Li Shuru.

"I trust him,"

was all they heard her say softly.

Masculinity as nature.

Perhaps this is the truth.

But in everything, there are always a few exceptions.

If Jiang Chen really was the type who changed his affections at the sight of beauty, the night before last, after they had shared a bed together, how could he possibly have remained completely respectful toward her?

Playing the noble gentleman?

Please.

By that point, why bother pretending?

In the end, the ultimate goal of a man’s act is to deceive a woman, and the ultimate aim behind deceiving a woman is to have her willingly climb into bed, isn’t it?

Li Shuru wasn’t ignorant of these matters.

But the night before last, she had already lain down in bed, and had even taken off her outer clothes.

Jiang Chen could have done anything he wanted without any restraint.

But he didn’t.

Li Shuru felt that under such circumstances, even a monk wouldn’t have been able to resist, yet Jiang Chen did, and she even developed a bit of admiration for him.

Li Shuru’s thinking was not wrong, but she forgot that there are two types of men in the world, one is the lecher who deceives women for their bodies, and the other, even more despicable, is the thief who steals hearts.

Based on facts, if it were the Jiang Chen from before, the night at the convenient city hotel, facing such an extreme temptation, he might have indeed surrendered to fate and given in.

However, the billions in dog-coining gold lying in his account compelled him to adhere to his bottom line and not step a half-inch beyond the boundary.

A moment of indulgence would have been delightful, but what would come after?

It would have added innumerable troubles.

As a quality young adult who had received higher education in the modern era, he naturally wouldn’t do something so foolish as to sacrifice the big picture for a small gain.

"Shu Rui, I was just joking, I didn’t know it would cause such a big ruckus, and I am sincerely sorry for the harm I caused you. I apologize."

Jiang Chen wasn’t bragging. At six o’clock in the afternoon, Ling Shiqi found Li Shuru to co-stream, and in front of the audience of both their live stream rooms, he publicly apologized, admitting candidly that he was the source of the rumors, with sincere words.

To tell the truth, this million-fan internet celebrity wasn’t completely intentional; it was just that two days ago during a live stream, when an audience member brought up old matters, sarcastically reminding her of the overwhelming defeat in a mock battle, it caused a surge of resentment in her, and in a moment of quick speech, she speculated a few sentences about Li Shuru and the top patron on the leaderboard, triggering a storm she hadn’t anticipated.

At first, she didn’t take it to heart and even felt quite relieved, but who knew that today at noon, the usually pleasant company boss suddenly called her in, uncharacteristically flew into a rage, and sternly ordered her to publicly apologize to the other party, otherwise she would be "put on ice."

Unlike Li Shuru, a "sole proprietor," her rise to fame depended on a series of commercial operations and the power of the company; she dared not disobey, especially terrified by the boss’s final threat.

As a million-fan celebrity, although she couldn’t be described as making a killing every day, her income was enough to surpass that of the majority of the world. Who would be willing to give up such a comfortable lifestyle?

Though it was she who was famous, she had signed a ten-year long contract with the company, which meant that if the company really decided to punish her, she would have no recourse at all, not even if she gave up the Ling Shiqi account and started anew.

Many stars ended up like this, repressed by companies due to disagreements, wastefully spending their best professional development years until the contract ran out, by which time their fame had vanished and no one showed any interest.

Thinking of that scenario, Ling Shiqi couldn’t help trembling all over, so much so that her voice trembled with a hint of choking as she apologized to Li Shuru.

Zheng Jingjing and the other girls held their phones, watching the co-stream, astonished at this scene.

They could tell that the other party wasn’t pretending to be pitiable, there was absolutely no need for that, and it wasn’t due to a sense of remorse or guilt, but rather...

It seemed like she was frightened of something.

This was a million-fan internet celebrity, not to say she was comparable to a star, but at least in the eyes of ordinary people, she was someone enveloped by a halo. What power was there that could frighten her to such an extent?

If at that moment, Li Shuru demanded her to kneel, the inwardly panicked Ling Shiqi probably would have complied, but Li Shuru did not exploit the situation to the fullest nor did she ridicule the other party in the slightest, but instead calmly accepted the apology.

Although Li Shuru did not act arrogant or domineering, the contrast between her demeanor and that of Ling Shiqi was strikingly evident on the screen.

Li Shuru’s fan count wasn’t even half that of Ling Shiqi, yet she appeared to be high above.

"Who exactly is that ’Lonely Shadow by the Cold River’? "

Guo Ran murmured.

Zheng Jingjing and Xu Siyi were somewhat dazzled as well.

Even though the person hadn’t shown his face from beginning to end, they knew all too well that the top patron who spent lavishly in Shu Rui’s live stream room was the real cause behind the current scenario they were witnessing.

They had seen their fair share of wealthy heirs, but it was only at this moment that they truly felt what it meant to have the power to turn clouds with a flip of the hand and rain with a turn.

These girls, who had not truly stepped out of the ivory tower, caught a glimpse of the grandeur and charm of power for the first time.
