Chapter 225 A Warrior Who Became a Third for Love
"Wow, the ward is so lively."
The moment the newcomer opened his mouth, he captured everyone's attention.
When Jiang Zhouzhou saw Zhou Xian, she suddenly found it difficult to swallow the apple in her mouth.
How could I run into someone here?
But then I remembered that Lin Chen had said Zhou Xian's father was seriously ill and hospitalized, and it seemed... quite a coincidence!
When Lin Chen saw that Zhou Xian had finally arrived, his listless demeanor immediately perked up: "Zhou Xian, how did you know I was here?"
Zhou Xian first glanced at Jiang Zhouzhou, then her gaze fell on Yin Yue beside her.
The man who accompanied her to play on the slide, the man she relied on.
The light at night made it difficult to see his face clearly, so let's observe him up close now.
At first glance, he realized that this man was just as troublesome as Gu Nanfeng!
Although he had guessed his identity, Zhou Xian still smiled and tentatively asked, "And who is this?"
Lin Chen quickly said, "Mr. Yin Yue, the cockroach guy from Zhouzhou's live stream."
Jiang Zhouzhou also introduced Zhou Xian to Yin Yue: "Zhou Xian, Brother Gou."
An insect, an animal.
In reality, introducing someone like that would be so embarrassing it would make your toes curl.
The two men did not show any signs of tension; instead, they nodded and greeted each other in a relatively harmonious manner.
This made Jiang Zhouzhou, who was on edge, breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Two men are already a headache enough; it's unimaginable what it would be like to have three men in one show.
"Zhouzhou and Mr. Yin, could you please step outside for a moment? Lin Chen and I have some private things to discuss."
Zhou Xian grinned, his polite and distant tone making it seem as if he had been possessed.
Jiang Zhouzhou looked at him suspiciously, then followed Yin Yue out of the ward.
After everyone left, only Zhou Xian and Lin Chen remained in the ward.
Zhou Xian slapped Lin Chen's arm, which was wrapped in bandages, making Lin Chen yell in pain.
"Zhou Xian, are you crazy?!"
Lin Chen cursed and swore, wincing in pain.
Zhou Xian sneered: "Impressive, Lin Xiaosan, you found a way to use the self-inflicted injury trick so quickly. Why don't you go even further and wrap yourself up completely and send her straight to the crematorium? I guarantee she'll be heartbroken and crying over your box."
The words "Lin Xiaosan" were particularly jarring to Lin Chen, so much so that he automatically ignored what followed.
He frowned, puzzled: "Wait a minute... when did I become Lin's mistress?"
Zhou Xian's deep eyes fell on his innocent face, and he said slowly, "If I don't call you Lin Xiaosan, then I'll call you a brave man who's a mistress for love?"
Lin Chen sensed his sarcastic tone and retorted, "What right do you, the culprit, have to talk about me? If you hadn't deliberately posted those photos on your WeChat Moments, would I have been able to slam the door shut with my fingers caught in it?"
Zhouzhou often posts pictures of that cat on her WeChat Moments, and Lin Chen likes them every day. He's even familiar with how many whiskers the cat has.
This morning, Zhou Xian posted a picture of himself holding the cat in his arms on his WeChat Moments, clearly telling him six words—he's now a freeloader!
In a daze, Lin Chen closed the door, his fingers getting caught in it. He had slammed the door shut with a bit too much force, and the excruciating pain in his fingers contorted his face. But looking at his bleeding fingers, three words flashed through his mind…
Bitter meat trick!
Looking at Lin Chen's self-righteous demeanor, Zhou Xian sneered, "While I was playing the victim in front of her, you were still learning how to dance the 'skirting dance'!"
She poked at the bandage on his arm with her finger. "You deliberately chose this hospital and arranged the ward here, just so I could see it, right? So I could enjoy watching you play the victim and gain sympathy in front of her, witness the heartwarming scene of her taking care of you, and then I would leave alone, heartbroken, to fulfill your great love."
He's a bit cunning, but he's no match for Zhou Xian.
Zhou Xian's father works at this hospital, and his ward is not far from Lin Chen's.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Zhouzhou.
Then they followed.
Upon learning that Lin Chen was lying in the ward, he instantly understood what was going on.
Lin Chen, exposed without any shame, said, "Zhou Xian, I've always considered you a brother. How dare you steal my girlfriend? You knew perfectly well that I liked her first."
Zhou Xian casually replied with an "Oh."
Then she lifted her eyelids and looked at him calmly: "So?"
"General Manager Lin, when you're negotiating a deal, will the other party give you the contract just because you arrived first?"
In one sentence, Lin Chen was effectively shut down.
Lin Chen got angry for a moment, then hung his head and said dejectedly, "You think I'm easy to bully? If you're so capable, go and fight that American cockroach head-on. Treating me as an enemy is useless; he's our biggest enemy. You don't know how Zhouzhou treats him. If you give him a little more time, he'll really run away with Zhouzhou."
The scene he had witnessed in the park flashed through Zhou Xian's mind again, and he remained silent for a moment.
A cold smile slowly crept onto her tightly pursed lips: "Well, Lin Xiaosan, you want to use me as a pawn. You know how to manipulate people now."
Unable to defeat the American cockroach themselves, they were eager to push him out as a pawn.
Sometimes you might say he's silly, but he's also quite clever.
Lin Chen pursed his lips: "We're brothers. If someone really gets together with Zhouzhou, I definitely hope it's one of us. Now that someone's getting in the way, it's better for us brothers to stick together..."
Zhou Xian interrupted him: "Then, when I'm with her, I'll give you the chance to be the other woman for love?"
Lin Chen: "..."
You can't get past those four words, can you?
