Chapter 372: Chapter 372 The Cost of Fame_1

Liu Chao said, "Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to a hospital for a check-up."

He was still not at ease; a hundred million was at stake, and he needed personal confirmation.

He knew a doctor at a hospital, so he took Feng Lijuan there.

He could simply make up an excuse, claiming Feng Lijuan was a relative, and no one would suspect a thing.

At least, without knowing the full story, no one would suspect that he had an affair with Feng Lijuan, a middle-aged woman in her forties.

After all, he was a second-generation rich kid with a wealth of dozens of billions.

According to people’s thinking, even if he were to seek out women, he wouldn’t go for such an older woman.

"Sure, it doesn’t matter to me," Feng Lijuan said.

The next morning, they both got up early and went to the hospital Liu Chao was familiar with, where the doctor he knew conducted an examination on Feng Lijuan.

The results showed that she was indeed pregnant.

This time, Liu Chao truly gave up hope.

He took the report and left the hospital.

"Are you satisfied now?" Feng Lijuan asked with a smile.

Thinking of the ’little target’ she was about to have, Feng Lijuan wanted to burst into loud laughter.

"Do you think I could be satisfied?" Liu Chao glanced at Feng Lijuan, finding her face rather detestable, "Get a cab back home yourself, I have an urgent matter and need to leave first."

When they had come out, it was in his car, and Feng Lijuan hadn’t driven herself.

"Liu Chao, you’re really awful, can’t you even give me a ride back? What kind of crap do you have to deal with!" Feng Lijuan was somewhat furious.

"I really do have something important. Taking a cab isn’t a big deal. If you want to call one, do it; if not, you can walk home. It’s none of my business." Liu Chao got into his car, pressed the gas pedal, and drove home.

He went home to grab some stuff and get ready. Today, he was to board the Crown Cruise and head to Dragon Scale Island to attend the Night of Angels.

"Bastard!" Feng Lijuan cursed angrily.

...

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan were ready to set off for the dock.

Just then, another call came in—it was from Xu Zheng.

"Mr. Shen, you’re going to the Tears of the Angel tonight, aren’t you?" Xu Zheng asked.

"I’m just about to leave," Shen Dong replied, "I hear a lot of people from the entertainment industry will be there. Are you also going to participate?"

Xu Zheng laughed, "Yes, I plan to bring a few main members of the ’I Am Not a Pharmacist’ crew. The movie is almost done, and I want to take this opportunity to promote it a bit."

Shen Dong said, "That’s fine, you arrange it yourself."

In fact, he felt that Xu Zheng didn’t really need to do this.

After all, when it was time for the movie’s release, he could have the Dongyan Guild’s streamers promote it, which would be better than promoting it anywhere else.

But he was still pleased with Xu Zheng’s enthusiasm.

After all, tickets to set foot on Dragon Scale Island cost a million each.

The actors Xu Zheng had chosen were not famous, and were likely unable to afford such a price.

Even if some could afford it, they probably wouldn’t go.

Clearly, Xu Zheng would be the one footing the bill for these expenses.

This also showed how much Xu Zheng cared for the movie ’I Am Not a Pharmacist’, willing to spend money on its promotion.

Xu Zheng said, "Okay then, Mr. Shen, I’ll see you there."

Shen Dong replied, "See you there."

Chen Yuyan at his side asked, "Was that call from Xu Zheng?"

Shen Dong nodded, "He said he’s bringing a few key members of the ’I’m Not a Pharmacist’ crew to do some promotion."

Chen Yuyan said, "Xu Zheng is quite good indeed, willing to invest for the sake of the film."

Shen Dong said, "I hear a lot of celebrities are going; those female stars you know will be there too, right?"

Chen Yuyan nodded, "Yeah, Reba, Yaya, Yang Mi, they’ll all be there. This ’Night of Angels’ has caught the attention of many in the business and entertainment industries. I saw reports saying tycoons like Wang Dalin, Ma Yun, and Ma Huateng will be there."

Shen Dong laughed, "I’ve never been to such a gathering of tycoons before; thinking about it is kind of exciting."

Chen Yuyan gave Shen Dong a look, "With your status, you could definitely attend such events often if you wished."

Shen Dong smiled, "These kinds of events lose their charm once you’ve been to many; they’re only exciting because they’re new to me."

Chen Yuyan agreed, "That’s true. Alright, let’s go. Qingyu said she’s waiting for us at the dock, and she’ll board the ship with us."

The two left and took a cab to the dock.

Before them, a colossal cruise ship.

The Crown Cruise!

"The Crown Cruise is really luxurious!"

"Goodness, this is the most luxurious cruise ship in Asia, the third in the world!"

"Tsk tsk, I finally have the chance to board this luxury cruise ship."

"So many people. They say that the ticket to set foot on Dragon Scale Island costs a million; are all these people really willing to spend that much?"

"Nonsense, if they weren’t willing, why would they even come here?"

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan had just gotten out of the cab when they overheard a myriad of comments from those around them.

Seeing that they had arrived in a taxi, several rich second-generation types cast disdainful glances at them.

"Holy shit, these two came by taxi; are they also attending the Night of Angels? They must be joking."

"Haha, I can’t help but laugh; they must be here to deliver something for someone, surely not to attend the Night of Angels."

"Speaking of which, that woman is quite pretty. Should we try to flirt with her?"

"Dude, it’s not the time for that."

"What’s wrong with this time? Isn’t the reason for attending the Night of Angels to meet women? Don’t freaking tell me you came here just for charity!"

"Dammit, everyone knows that’s the case, but you don’t have to say it out loud."

This Angel’s Night drew many tycoons and nouveau riche from across the country, and most didn’t recognize Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan.

People thought they must not be anyone significant, likely not even attending the Angel’s Night event, but instead delivering something for one of the wealthy youths.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan paid no mind to the unusual stares they were getting. With about ten minutes left before boarding, they went to the side to wait and rest.

"Yao said he has arrived. Call him to check," said Shen Dong.

He was holding luggage, making it inconvenient to call.

"Alright, Qingyu also said she’s here; I’ll call her too," Chen Yuyan nodded.

With so many people, it’s difficult to find anyone; better to call.

First, she dialed Li Kaiyao’s number.

The call connected quickly.

After a few words, Chen Yuyan hung up the phone.

Soon after, a masked Li Kaiyao approached them.

"Yao, being famous has its downsides; you have to wear a mask even when you’re just stepping out, or you’ll be swarmed by fans," Chen Yuyan teased.

"Can’t help it; maybe this is the price of fame," Li Kaiyao said helplessly.

Though he enjoyed the pleasures of fame, it did indeed come with its annoyances.

Now, he had to wear a mask when he went out, lest he be recognized.

Thankfully, no one was asking for autographs, but they did cast interested glances his way.

And some fans would want to take pictures with him, which could indeed be inconvenient.
