Chapter 623: Chapter 0625: Chills Down the Spine

Nangong Man Sha’s expression tensed, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

The door of the private room was not closed, so Zhu Jingtian naturally walked in. As he entered, his gaze immediately fell on Shen Congwen, who was sitting between two men, and it was filled with disdain.

The latter was puzzled. Shen Congwen always felt a surge of hostility from this man, especially from that glance just now, brimming with hostility. Having just arrived in Beijing, he really didn’t know where this hostility was coming from.

Nangong Man Sha, with a forced smile, said, "It turns out to be Young Master Zhu, what a coincidence."

Seeing Nangong Man Sha greeting him proactively, Zhu Jingtian hurried forward, his face bearing a flattering smile, and said very warmly, "Miss Man Sha, I heard you were hosting distinguished guests here. Since they are distinguished guests, how can there be no drinking? That’s why I came uninvited, to share Miss Man Sha’s worries."

Nangong Man Sha looked at him, her lips slightly curling in a gentle yet icy tone, "Young Master Zhu, such words can easily be misunderstood. The affairs of the Nangong Family will naturally be handled by members of the Nangong Family. Matters like accompanying guests in drinking, Yun Hai can do it, I can do it too, there’s no need to trouble outsiders."

Zhu Jingtian blatantly ignored the term ’outsiders’ used by Nangong Man Sha. He kept a sycophantic smile on his face, "Now I am an outsider, but the future might not necessarily be so, right? Miss Man Sha, my feelings for you are known to heaven and earth. Seeing someone trying to take advantage of your reputation for personal gains and climb up relationships, I absolutely cannot allow you to be humiliated."

Nangong Man Sha skeptically looked at Zhu Jingtian, not understanding what he was implying.

Seeing Zhu Jingtian harassing Nangong Man Sha again, Nangong Yunhai, being her brother, naturally was not pleased. His face turned stern as he reprimanded, "Zhu Jingtian, what nonsense are you spouting? We, the Nangong Family, are hosting our guests here. Please leave!"

Zhu Jingtian, realizing that Nangong Man Sha and Nangong Yunhai were unaware of the rumors circulating online, took out his phone, opened a trending topic online, and showed it to Nangong Man Sha, "Miss Man Sha, I don’t mean to sound unpleasant, but it’s hard to guard against people’s intentions. You are so naive, you must not be blinded by some people."

After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Shen Congwen, his gaze filled with even more hostility.

Shen Congwen was baffled and couldn’t help but speculate inwardly; he carefully recollected and confirmed he hadn’t offended such a person, and his heart slightly eased.

Nangong Man Sha, looking at the continuously rising hot topic on Weibo, said with an exasperated tone, "Are these people so idle, full, and doing nothing? To actually spread such false messages."

Nangong Yunhai also took out his phone to look, and upon seeing the content, he felt it was even more absurd. Exiting Weibo, he scrolled his contacts and made a call to handle the situation on Weibo.

Young Master Zhu, watching their reactions, felt a hint of suspicion flash through his heart, then suddenly realized - perhaps Shen Congwen was not Nangong Man Sha’s boyfriend, and the topics on Weibo were fabricated.

He thought to himself, given Nangong Man Sha’s taste, how could she possibly fancy someone like Shen Congwen, such a loser?

The background of Shen Congwen had already been thoroughly exposed on Weibo; Zhu Jingtian was extremely familiar with Shen Congwen’s background. What’s a tycoon from Su City? Even two tycoons from Su City couldn’t compare to any of the minor families in Beijing.

Thus, Zhu Jingtian totally viewed Shen Congwen as a loser.

At this moment, Shen Congwen also took out his phone to look, and as he saw himself becoming the protagonist on Weibo, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost couldn’t hold his phone steady. He and Nangong Man Sha...

How could that be possible!

Even if he wished, Miss Man Sha might not take a liking to him, let alone he could see with his own eyes that Miss Man Sha was interested in Mr. Chu, and very much so.

It’s just that Mr. Chu’s attitude towards Nangong Man Sha was inconsistently cold and hot, and it was unclear what Mr. Chu was thinking.

But these were not the issues he cared about, what he was most concerned about now was whether such fervor would cause any unfavorable impacts on the Shen Family.

"These kinds of photos can be interpreted in such ways, I really don’t understand what these people are thinking," Shen Congwen suddenly criticized, "Even if there really was something, it should be Mr. Chu and Miss Man Sha having something going on, look at the photos, it’s clearly you who are the closest to Miss Man Sha."

Besides, in the photo, it was Chu Ge that Nangong Man Sha was gazing at affectionately, not him. It’s understandable for one person to be mistaken, but for so many people to be mistaken, that’s somewhat unacceptable.

Shen Congwen did not understand the minds of those people because in their eyes, compared to Chu Ge, whether in terms of dress or the elegance of demeanor, Shen Congwen appeared to be a well-bred young master, whereas Chu Ge...

They just treated him like a low-class man who ignored others’ opinions.

Nangong Man Sha also nodded approvingly, she said, "Mr. Shen is right, both the title and the content of this news are biased. I do have someone I admire, but they confused him with someone else, and furthermore, he isn’t my boyfriend yet."

When Nangong Man Sha said this, she couldn’t help but glance over at Chu Ge, noticing that Chu Ge was also looking at her. A gleam flashed in her eyes as she winked at Chu Ge, flirting with him, "Don’t you think so, Mr. Chu?"

Nangong Yunhai and Shen Congwen exchanged looks and then both instinctively lowered their heads, with Nangong Yunhai feeling even more awkwardly and clearing his throat, suddenly feeling that sitting here with Shen Congwen was like being two giant light bulbs.

The corners of Chu Ge’s lips twitched, but he did not speak.

Zhu Jingtian listened in confusion, his eyes filled with uncertainty as they shifted between Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha, "Miss Man Sha, what do you mean by that?"

Nangong Man Sha shrugged nonchalantly, "I mean just what I said."

A sense of foreboding rose in Zhu Jingtian’s heart; he squinted at Chu Ge, but his question was directed at Nangong Man Sha, "Miss Man Sha, are you saying that the man you admire is this man?"

The man before him looked no more than in his twenties and did not possess any semblance of elite elegance. His clothes lacked any brand, and their total price probably wouldn’t even buy one of his shoes.

How could Nangong Man Sha possibly fall for such a poor guy?

Chu Ge faintly lifted his eyes to meet Zhu Jingtian’s gaze, but this simple look sent a shiver down Zhu Jingtian’s spine involuntarily.

As he realized this, a wave of agitation surged through his heart.
