Chapter 410: Chapter 410 He Is Just a Poor Boy (Third Update)
“Young Master Cheng, I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you seem a bit different today,” Jin Weiming said with a smile as he looked at Cheng Jiaming’s chin.
Cheng Jiaming replied, “Young Master Jin, don’t make fun of me. Yesterday I had a stroke of bad luck and got punched by some guy from Huadu.”
“No way? Someone dared to hit you in Shencheng? Are they tired of living?” Jin Weiming looked genuinely surprised.
Even though Jin Weiming knew that Cheng Jiaming wasn’t much of a fighter, with maybe only the skills of a third or fourth-level practitioner, the Cheng family was one of Shencheng’s top ten wealthy families, not to be underestimated.
So even the martial arts masters of Shencheng would usually give face to the Cheng family and not make things too difficult for Cheng Jiaming.
Who would’ve thought someone in Shencheng would dare to injure Cheng Jiaming?
Even Wen Xiaojun showed a hint of surprise and asked, “Jiaming, why did the other party hit you?”
Cheng Jiaming looked angry and said, “Young Master Wen, you know how I am. When I see a beautiful woman, I can’t help but compliment her.
Yesterday, because I complimented a stunning beauty, some guy accused me of desecrating her and punched me. Another one even wanted to call the cops on me. Don’t you think that’s infuriating?”
Jin Weiming exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, never thought I’d see the day. The same Young Master Cheng who always sent people off to the police station nearly got himself sent there. This is truly eye-opening.”
Cheng Jiaming said, “Jin Weiming, you’re mocking me, aren’t you?”
Jin Weiming quickly waved his hand and said, “No, no, I’m just curious about who has the guts to injure our Young Master Cheng?”
At this moment, Song Haoyu, who was sitting on the sofa, also curiously asked Cheng Jiaming, “Young Master Cheng, you said someone from Huadu injured you. I’m from Huadu too. Tell me who it was, and I’ll see if I know them.”
Cheng Jiaming said, “The one who injured me is named Xie Wenbo, and the one who wanted to call the police is Qin Yunyue.”
Song Haoyu immediately laughed, “So it was them!”
Cheng Jiaming and Jin Weiming couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Does Young Master Song know them?”
Song Haoyu visited Shencheng almost every year, and Cheng Jiaming and Wen Xiaojun were buddies, with business cooperation between their families. Jin Weiming and Wen Xiaojun were classmates, both being wealthy young masters, so they often interacted.
Through Wen Xiaojun, Song Haoyu also got to know Cheng Jiaming and Jin Weiming.
Song Haoyu then explained the prestigious backgrounds of Qin Yunyue and Xie Wenbo from Huadu.
“Qin Yunyue ranks at the top of the ten gentlemen of Huadu University, and Xie Wenbo is known as the God of Slaughter there,” Song Haoyu said with a faint sneer on his lips.
“God of Slaughter? Does this Xie Wenbo dare to use such a name and not feel embarrassed?” Jin Weiming’s face showed a cold smile, full of mockery.
Anger filled Cheng Jiaming’s eyes as he said, “So these young masters from Huadu came all the way to Shencheng just to disgrace a young master of Shencheng like me?”
Song Haoyu hurriedly said seriously, “Young Master Cheng, I definitely didn’t come to Shencheng to disgrace you.”
Cheng Jiaming laughed, “Young Master Song, I know you wouldn’t disgrace me. We’ve been friends for many years. Besides, Young Master Song, if I wanted to deal with Xie Wenbo and Qin Yunyue, would you help me?”
Song Haoyu said, “Young Master Cheng, that’s a given. If there’s a way I can help, I’ll definitely assist you wholeheartedly.”
Since Qin Yunyue and Xie Wenbo were Lin Fei’s friends, and Qin Zimo wasn’t fond of him either,
Song Haoyu also considered Qin Yunyue and Xie Wenbo as enemies.
If Cheng Jiaming wanted to deal with Qin Yunyue and Xie Wenbo, Song Haoyu was more than happy to see it happen and would even add fuel to the fire.
“Young Master Song, you’re truly a good brother to me, Cheng Jiaming! Haha…” Cheng Jiaming laughed joyfully.
“Since Young Master Cheng has shared his misfortune from yesterday, let me tell you mine,” Jin Weiming suddenly said with a feeling.
Cheng Jiaming looked curious and smiled, “Oh, Young Master Jin has misfortunes too. Let’s hear it!”
Jin Weiming nodded and then looked at Wen Xiaojun, saying, “Young Master Wen, I went to see Liu Wei the night before last.”
Cheng Jiaming joked, “Weren’t you rejected by the goddess?”
Jin Weiming nodded, “That’s right.”
Wen Xiaojun smiled slightly and said, “Jin Weiming, I told you many times, Liu Wei always saw you as a friend. She never liked you, but you refused to believe it. Believe it now?”
“Young Master Wen, you’re right. She indeed just sees me as a friend, because she’s fallen for someone named Lin Fei,” Jin Weiming sighed and said.
The smile on Wen Xiaojun’s face froze, turning icy and cold.
“What did you say, Jin Weiming?” Wen Xiaojun’s brows furrowed slightly, his gaze sharp as he looked at Jin Weiming and asked.
Jin Weiming wore a disappointed look and said, “Young Master Wen, I said Liu Wei has fallen for someone named Lin Fei. Oh, and yesterday they were on Beauty Island together.”
“Jin Weiming, you think I’ll believe what you say?” Wen Xiaojun said.
Jin Weiming took out his phone, opened a photo, and showed it to Wen Xiaojun, saying, “Young Master Wen, this was taken by my bodyguard on Beauty Island. Take a look.”
On Jin Weiming’s phone was a photo of Lin Fei and Liu Wei eating grilled fish together, which was nothing special, but Liu Wei’s sweet smile and how she held a piece of grilled fish close to Lin Fei’s mouth looked intimate, like lovers.
Wen Xiaojun could feel the close and romantic atmosphere between the two from the photo.
His expression turned grim as he returned the phone to Jin Weiming and asked, “Who is this Lin Fei?”
“Cousin, I know who Lin Fei is. He’s a close friend of Xie Wenbo and Qin Yunyue, and they came to Shencheng together,” Song Haoyu immediately said.
Then he remembered something and added, “Oh, cousin, yesterday I was at the Capital City Hotel with Zheng Wenbin (Long Chen), my cousin, and I heard Zheng Wenbin say that Liu Xuan is also very upset about Liu Wei and Lin Fei’s relationship.
It seems that what Young Master Jin said about Liu Wei and Lin Fei is true.”
Jin Weiming looked at Wen Xiaojun and said, “Now even your cousin is proving it, do you still think I’m lying?”
Wen Xiaojun said nothing more.
Indeed, because both he and Jin Weiming were classmates of Liu Wei and also both liked her,
Wen Xiaojun didn’t believe what Jin Weiming said.
But his cousin Song Haoyu wouldn’t lie to him.
He had to believe Liu Wei was with someone named Lin Fei.
“What kind of person is this Lin Fei? Is he also a young master from a wealthy Huadu family?” Wen Xiaojun asked Song Haoyu.
Song Haoyu had a mocking expression and said, “No, he’s not a wealthy young master. He’s just a poor boy!”
“A poor boy?!” Jin Weiming and Cheng Jiaming were both shocked.
A poor boy able to win over the daughter of a wealthy Capital City family?
“I can assure you with absolute certainty that he’s indeed a poor boy who came from the mountains,” Song Haoyu raised his hand as if swearing to Cheng Jiaming and Jin Weiming.
This time, Jin Weiming and Cheng Jiaming believed it.
Suddenly, Cheng Jiaming seemed to remember something and said, “Oh right, I remember now. I had people watching Xie Wenbo and Qin Yunyue, and they told me today that a few guys and girls left with Xie Wenbo and Qin Yunyue.
Could it be that among those guys was this Lin Fei?”
