Chapter 745: Chapter 745: Has He Found True Love Again?

After Qian Yi said how Qian Shanshan had tried to seduce him into sleeping with Shi Yaoguang and how he firmly rejected her, he even boasted to Quan Jinbei, saying, "Third Master Quan, I really didn’t harbor any crooked thoughts, you must believe me."

Quan Jinbei didn’t believe him at all. "If you say you didn’t have any crooked thoughts, knowing what Qian Shanshan intended to do, why didn’t you tell me?"

"Ah? This..." Qian Yi showed a look of difficulty, "I just didn’t think of that at the moment."

Speaking of it, he chuckled foolishly, "Besides, Third Master Quan and Miss Shi, to me, you both are like gods. Qian Shanshan is just a clown! Even if she had the most malicious plan, she would never succeed."

"Knowing that Qian Shanshan could never accomplish anything, mentioning it to you would seem like I was being superfluous."

Quan Jinbei glanced at him, convinced Qian Yi wasn’t lying, and not wanting to waste more words, he turned and walked away.

Qian Yi let out a long sigh of relief.

His mind rejoiced once again at his own worldly wisdom.

He was thankful he wasn’t beguiled by Qian Shanshan.

If he had lost his wits and tried some scheme to turn cooked rice with Shi Yaoguang, he wouldn’t be facing Quan Jinbei now, but Shi Yaoguang herself.

Compared to Shi Yaoguang, Third Master Quan’s imposing manner was not an issue at all!

After all, he was the man who was almost crippled by Shi Yaoguang!

Though he was saved in the end, he felt he could never compare.

Qian Yi felt bitter inside, yet he dared not proclaim it widely.

What if his parents found out he might be rendered useless?

He definitely didn’t want to jeopardize his status.

Cough, let’s not talk about that.

Qian Yi still felt that he was a very well-behaved person.

As a well-behaved and honest person, he decided to go and see Qian Shanshan make a fool of herself.

A fool.

Qian Shanshan looked down on him, but he wanted to see just how much capital she really had.

Though the Qian Family didn’t have much money, he could still dig up the gossip.

He also knew that after failing to persuade him, Qian Shanshan had approached several young masters from other families.

Of course, without exception, they all rejected her.

Qian Shanshan might not understand, but he knew.

Just like any other profligate, Qian Yi felt no different from those scions.

His perception of danger was extremely sharp.

Was Shi Yaoguang someone trash like them could defile?

Definitely not!

Qian Yi knew that since Qian Shanshan couldn’t find an equally matched young master, he wondered if she might just pull a foolish move, finding some beggar or the like, just to disgust Shi Yaoguang.

Unexpectedly, she did the opposite.

She went straight to hiring a woman to seduce Quan Jinbei at the company.

If Quan Jinbei were so easily seduced, would he be worthy of Shi Yaoguang’s attention?

Of course not!

So, watching her make a fool of herself was a given.

Qian Shanshan had no idea that while she scorned Qian Yi, in his mind, she was depicted in such a manner.

Or perhaps say.

Qian Yi had even imagined the possible outcomes for her.

If it came down to it, she, Qian Shanshan, was no nobler than Qian Yi.

...

Qingshui Bay Villa.

Qian Shanshan knew Quan Jinbei was looking for her, so she came to Quan Sicheng for protection.

"Sicheng, I did all of this for your sake, you can’t ignore me!"

Quan Sicheng snorted coldly as if he had heard a joke, "You did all this for me? I don’t think that’s quite true."

Qian Shanshan’s face changed, "What do you mean by that, Sicheng?"

"Do you really think I don’t know? Before seeking Zhao Xiran, you had also approached Qian Yi and several other playboys in the circle. If they hadn’t all rejected you, I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be Jinbei who got tricked, but Yaoguang would be the one in trouble, right?"

As soon as Quan Sicheng had finished speaking, Qian Shanshan retorted, "Yaoguang? Shi Yaoguang has treated you that way, and you still refer to her so affectionately?"

"Sicheng, I always thought you were a smart man. I didn’t expect you to be a pitiable person trapped by emotions. Whether or not Shi Yaoguang has feelings for you, I can’t believe you can’t feel it! You know full well that Shi Yaoguang doesn’t love you, yet you still do so much for her. Don’t you think you’re too lowly?"

Quan Sicheng’s face darkened, "Do you know what you’re talking about?"

"Of course, I do!" Qian Shanshan was unperturbed, "I’ve decided to stick by your side since I agreed to cooperate with you. If you don’t help me, then I won’t let you off either."

Quan Sicheng sneered, "What makes you think I have to help you?"

Qian Shanshan leaned in close to his ear and whispered in a hushed voice, "Because I know your secret..."

Quan Sicheng didn’t believe that Qian Shanshan could know any of his secrets.

However, the sentence she uttered next succeeded in changing his expression.

Seeing this, Qian Shanshan’s lips curled up in satisfaction, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance: "Sicheng, I’m not someone you can easily provoke. The reason I agreed to cooperate with you is that I can take the initiative! I didn’t hold it against you before as a courtesy to you!"

Quan Sicheng clenched his fists, not saying a word.

Qian Shanshan didn’t care about his attitude, as long as he was under her control.

Thinking this, Qian Shanshan’s smile grew more complacent, "Sicheng, I hope you remember what I told you."

"When Jinbei comes to settle scores with me, I expect you to protect me!"

Quan Sicheng replied reluctantly, "Fine."

Upon hearing this, Qian Shanshan smiled triumphantly.

Quan Sicheng’s gaze on her, however, was as cold as if he were looking at a dead thing.

Not long after Qian Shanshan and Quan Sicheng reached an agreement, people from Jinbei found their way to them.

Originally, Jinbei had ordered them to take Qian Shanshan away.

But due to Quan Sicheng’s protection, in the end, Jinbei’s people were not able to take her away.

They only conveyed Quan Sicheng’s intentions.

Qian Shanshan was his person, and he would not hand her over to Jinbei.

This sparked curiosity.

Shi Yaoguang clicked her tongue twice and speculated, "Sicheng is protecting Qian Shanshan so much, could it be that he’s encountered true love again?"

Jinbei didn’t see it that way, "Perhaps, they had some agreement before."

"Hmm?" Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes, "You seem to understand quite well."

"Qian Shanshan was originally Cheng Linye’s person, investigation results show that she should have feelings for Cheng Linye."

Jinbei said, pausing, while looking at her with a meaningful gaze, "Why Qian Shanshan would get mixed up with Sicheng, maybe the reason should be sought from you."

"Me?"

Shi Yaoguang pointed at herself, with an expression of bewilderment.

Jinbei reminded her, "Qian Shanshan should like Cheng Linye, even if not genuinely. Cheng Linye is also the person she wants to cling to."

"What does that have to do with me?" Shi Yaoguang looked as if she had been wronged without cause.
