Fyren Zhang found Eason Chen.
Eason Chen was Fyren Zhang's nemesis - Huan Chen's brother and Cora Chen's brother.
Eason Chen wasn't as handsome as Fyren Zhang, being a standard fat guy.
The Chen family business was currently managed by Cora Chen, but Eason Chen held the majority shares.
In other words, this guy hardly did anything serious - all day long he just drove sports cars, picked up foreign girls, and spent money like it was endless.
Eason Chen had many people around him, but essentially no real friends.
His only good friend, his self-proclaimed best friend, was Fyren Zhang.
When Eason Chen received Fyren Zhang's call, he froze for a moment. As soon as he heard Fyren Zhang wanted to have fun, he became unbearably excited and immediately sent him a location.
A high-end private club, where all the girls were "models."
You couldn't spend less than 100,000−100,000−800,000 a night here without feeling embarrassed to walk in.
And this was just for regular tycoons. When Eason Chen came, if he didn't blow through at least $1.8 million, it was considered him being thrifty to save his family's money.
So, fat as he was, the treatment he enjoyed here was absolutely top-tier.
Fyren Zhang was in an irritable mood.
It wasn't like he hadn't seen the world before. Having been a villain six times already, he knew how rich people partied and was no stranger to places like this.
He realized Eason Chen was also restless with nothing to do, having long grown accustomed to looking at beautiful women here, enjoying what he should enjoy, and not even knowing how to find real fun anymore.
But Eason Chen was much more cheerful than Fyren Zhang, and said excitedly, "Lily, Lucy, and what's your name...?"
"Brother, I'm called Sweetie!"
"Doesn't matter, doesn't matter. You girls take care of my big brother here. He rarely comes to these places. If you can satisfy him completely today, hey, I'll give each of you a $100,000 red envelope as a tip!"
The girls suddenly got excited and all crowded around Fyren Zhang.
"Young Master Fyren, what kind of games do you like?"
"Young Master Fyren, let's play some games? We have many games here, all very... stimulating!"
Fyren Zhang had originally come to have fun, but realized he couldn't enjoy himself at all.
"You all quiet down for a bit. I need to have a chat with Dead Fatty."
A few girls dutifully stepped back, turned off the music, and chatted quietly with their wine glasses.
"What's going on?" Eason Chen asked. "Don't like them? Want me to change the batch?"
"No." Fyren Zhang sighed. "Eliza Leng and I are getting engaged, you know?"
"I know." Eason Chen grunted. "I don't know what to say about that Eliza Leng... What does she even have? A body? A face? Which girl here doesn't have those? Do you know how many beautiful women's youth you've wasted these past three years?"
"Besides, even if you like being a simp, why her? What's left of the Leng family? They still need your Zhang family's support to survive! And yet she walks around with that stuck-up attitude all day. Makes me sick just looking at her!"
Fyren Zhang looked around. "We've been spending money and having fun in places like this since college. After all these years, you're still enjoying this? Isn't it enough?"
"It was fucking enough long ago," Eason Chen said. "But what else can I do? Huh? I went to work once and fell asleep three times before noon. When my subordinates report to me, I don't understand a damn thing! The only things I'm good at are spending money, playing around, and picking up girls."
Fyren Zhang looked at him. "You can't call that 'picking up girls.' Proper dating means pursuing, not just waving money around and having them come to you."
"You want me to be like you? Chasing after some ice queen like Eliza Leng who never gives you the time of day?"
"At least she's from a good family."
"Then what about my sister? She's a good girl too!" Eason Chen challenged. "Why did you break up with her? Why simp for Eliza Leng instead of my sister? You and my sister were childhood sweethearts! We weren't even friends before that. If you'd devoted these past three years to my sister, you'd be my brother-in-law by now, and I might even have a nephew to hold!"
Fyren Zhang stared at Eason Chen, this shameless bastard: "Why the fuck did I break up with your sister? Wasn't it because you got me drunk and planted two foreign girls in my bed, then made sure your sister caught us?"
"I was young and stupid! We could've explained it! But you? Playing the young master of the Zhang family card and just brushing it off! Seriously - did you ever really care about my sister? Or did you just dump her when you got bored?"
Fyren Zhang nearly shouted: "Your sister and I were in high school then! Fucking high school! I didn't know anything! I kissed her on the cheek and couldn't sleep for three days!"
"You dated for three years in college - you got amnesia?" Eason Chen shouted back.
"Wasn't it you who told me I needed to 'practice' with other women first? That your sister would look down on me if I wasn't good in bed?"
"Fyren Zhang, make yourself clear. The first time, it was me who said I wanted to practice my kung fu. The second time, it was you who dragged me along, saying you wanted to review the last lesson's content, consolidate your learning, and strive to get a good grade with my sister, right? Wasn't that you?"
"Bullshit! You're blaming me now?" Fyren Zhang said excitedly. "When that bunny girl was showing her thighs around the pole, you were on your fucking knees crying like a baby, saying I'd renewed your love for life, and that you wanted to play like this every day from now on, wasn't that you?"
"I was young! Didn't know any better! So you just let me be? When I was a kid, my dreams were to be a doctor, a lawyer, an astronaut, but you led me down this path, and now look at me! Now I'm the family joke!"
"You didn't become a doctor, lawyer, or astronaut?"
Eason Chen froze at Fyren Zhang's question, then nodded. "I did. I've been a gynecologist for a lost girl, a flirtatious lawyer pretending to defend a sexy female client, and played a spaceship captain who hooked up with a female astronaut in a capsule..."
The two looked at each other for a moment before suddenly bursting into laughter together.
Fyren Zhang chuckled. "You're a real piece of work."
Eason Chen pondered deeply. "I should've been an actor."
It was at this moment that Fyren Zhang's phone rang.
When Fyren Zhang saw Eliza Leng's name, his face immediately changed color. He screamed, "Quick! Get the girls over here! Turn the music on! Turn it up loud! Louder!"
Eason Chen was confused. "Why the sudden excitement?"
"Shut up! It's Eliza Leng—Eliza Leng's calling! I need to make her stay away from me!"
Upon hearing it was Eliza Leng calling, Eason Chen—all two hundred pounds of him—jumped up immediately, gritting his teeth. "Hey! Give me the most decadent atmosphere possible!"
That explained the phone call earlier.
They thought that would be the end of it.
But less than thirty minutes later, the club manager came over and whispered to Fyren Zhang, "Young Master Fyren, Eliza has arrived. She's already in the elevator. Wouldn't... it be better to have the girls leave first?"
The manager was someone who knew how to handle situations and understood the relationships between these people.
Let's be real—which high-end club didn't keep tabs on the personal lives of Crystalpeak City's four major families' young masters?
They were the cash cows, the top clients!
Their girlfriends' or wives' phone numbers, license plates, temperaments, and relationships... were all carefully documented.
Otherwise, how could they handle it when women came storming into the club to catch cheating partners?
But now Fyren Zhang didn't need them to intervene - at least not when it came to Eliza Leng.
So when Eliza Leng walked in, she saw Fyren Zhang with his arms around two beautiful women, howling with his eyes closed:
"They say I'm suave and invincible, the bully gun ang ang..."
Zee-!
The music stopped abruptly.
"Hey? Why'd it stop? I was just about to show off my fancy tenor!"
Fyren Zhang turned his head. "Aigoo, if it isn't my future fiancée, Eliza Leng! Hahaha, sit down, sit down, let's sing!"
Eliza Leng looked at Fyren Zhang coldly. "You're so dashing."
"It's nothing, just having some fun. What do you want from me?"
The question stunned Eliza Leng.
Yes, in the past three years, he had always been the one seeking her out. When had she ever come looking for him?
Eliza Leng's lips moved. "Come with me. There's something I need to ask you."
Fyren Zhang was used to this tone from Eliza Leng.
In her subconscious, the mere fact that she would initiate conversation with him should have been gift enough.
He should immediately follow her with a playful smile and a happy heart, without a second thought.
But times had changed.
Fyren Zhang smiled. "I'm a man! A man with iron will, a proud and heroic young man! What's wrong with hanging out with some girls? What! What? What? Are you upset? Angry? Fine, let's break off the engagement!"
Everyone was shocked.
The manager had been ready to step in and mediate, but hearing this tone, something was clearly wrong!
Young Master Fyren wasn't giving Eliza Leng any face today - and it seemed he was aiming for a breakup?
Don't move!
Observe first.
Fyren Zhang was pleased.
Eliza Leng, I'm giving you a chance. If you can tolerate even this, I'll admit defeat!
Oho, your chest is heaving! You're angry, aren't you? About to lose your temper?
*There's a glass of beer right in front of you - grab it and throw it in my face, then we can go our separate ways.*
Eliza Leng smiled as she took a long breath.
She walked over. One girl hurriedly moved aside as Eliza Leng sat down next to Fyren Zhang, pressing close warmly. "Aiyo, why so angry? I was just worried about you!"
Fyren Zhang was so shocked he nearly exploded on the spot.
Not only Fyren Zhang - even the dead-fat Eason Chen was frozen stupidly in place. The club manager standing ready to "put out the fire" behind them was even more wide-eyed, unable to believe this was the reigning Eliza Leng!
Fyren Zhang, frightened by Eliza Leng's approach and now embraced by her, involuntarily curled up to avoid contact, though his mouth remained defiant: "You... you don't think apologizing will stop me from scolding you..."
Eliza Leng tightened her embrace. "Let's not play games today, okay? I really want to talk to you."
Fyren Zhang looked at Eliza Leng and felt completely defeated - utterly crushed.
What's wrong with all the heroines in this book?!
Xena Xu's sudden and bizarre "genetic mutation" was already enough to make his head spin.
What the hell is wrong with Eliza Leng today?
What are you doing? I just want to quietly be a minor villain and live peacefully for a few days without getting involved with you big shots! Why is this so difficult?
Why can't we just live our own lives? Wouldn't it be better to stay out of each other's way? Is it really so hard to just leave everyone alone?
Eliza Leng, hearing Fyren Zhang's inner monologue, felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
This guy... does he really want me to stay away from him?
Fyren Zhang clenched his teeth fiercely.
He decided to tough it out!
