Chapter 12: The matter with Wan Sheng
Translator: Aafkee

“Why is your cousin asking?”
“Wan Sheng probably did some dirty tricks and angered her. That little lady has been pampered since she was young, so she can’t stand anyone giving her an attitude. That was most likely why she came to me asking about Wan Sheng’s background.” Yan Caizhu let out a yawn, clearly not taking that matter to heart.
“And what did you say?”
“Wan Sheng joined the crew through connections with my extremely distant cousin. Caicai could not handle the matter directly, so she came to confirm the situation with me.”
Yan Caizhu waved his hand to acknowledge the waiter, who placed the plate of cheese-covered Italian pasta on the table gently.
He continued, “I told her that Wan Sheng used to be in a brief relationship with that cousin, but she offended him a long time ago, so she has no one to rely on now. She’s free to handle her in any way she wishes.”
Yan Caizhu described the whole situation as if it was nothing, but Zhong Simo knew that although he seemed like a good-for-nothing rich young master, he took good care of the people he kept close to his heart. “Caicai” was his sister, a young lady at that, so Yan Caizhu probably had other plans in mind.
“You didn’t tell her everything, did you?”
“She’s only a young lady. There’s no need to tell her those things,” Yan Caizhu grinned, “What trouble did Wan Sheng get into this time? If Director Zhong would like to take care of her with his own hands, I wouldn’t have to trouble myself.”
“You don’t have to worry about my psychological condition and tell me everything. I’m not a young lady, after all.” Zhong Simo did not respond to his statement directly.
“It wasn’t a big deal.” Yan Caizhu had no intention of hiding the truth, “You know how it’s common for people within our circle to play around with influencers. They’re pretty, more daring, and there won’t be any big problems even if we change them frequently.”
“Hm.” Zhong Simo only gave a short reply. He disliked the atmosphere of the group of people Yan Caizhu mixed with, but he would not care or get himself involved either. Only a middle schooler would force his friend to see everything from his perspective.
“Wan Sheng was initially the lover of that cousin with the surname Chen. She was pretty good at acting pure and innocent, so our cousin Chen would bring her anywhere he went. He even introduced her to try out for Caicai’s drama.” Yan Caizhu recalled.
“But even then, she could only be considered a slightly above average plaything in our cousin’s eyes. I know exactly what that group of people is like, but unfortunately, Wan Sheng couldn’t figure out where she stood. She was too used to being spoilt, thinking that she was my cousin’s actual girlfriend. Her true nature gradually showed itself, and once, she even provoked a lady from a rich family.”
“Hmph, she really doesn’t know where she stands.” Perhaps it was a preconceived bad impression, but Zhong Simo’s evaluation of Wan Sheng was extremely harsh.
“You’re absolutely right. She doesn’t know the distinction between respect and inferiority, nor does she know what is in her best interest and what is not.” Yan Caizhu was also unceremonious when making his comments about her. It was Wan Sheng who put herself down and made herself a mistress, so based on what could she ask others to respect her?
“You know how hardcore some of those rich ladies can get, even we are no match for them. Wan Sheng happened to offend one of them and even my cousin couldn’t help her. Not to mention how her true nature was getting more and more out of control. She was no longer considered likable, since a good while ago.”
“What happened during the second half of the birthday party half a month ago was actually the group of rich ladies making Wan Sheng pay for what she had done.”
Yan Caizhu paused for a second and looked around to make sure there was no one around them before he continued, “Men really do have no place in the argument if the women decide to be harsh. They pushed Wan Sheng onto the table and stripped her naked. They even brought those torture tools, forcing her to dance while they poured wine on her. All of them were too high and reckless, I made an excuse and left first because I didn’t want to stay. Apparently, they didn’t end until the middle of the night.”
Zhong Simo smiled in discomfort when he heard that, “Just what exactly did she do to provoke them for them to make such a fuss?”
“I’ve heard that she was eyeing another when her own bowl was already full and tried to seduce that rich lady’s fiancé, even hinting that her beauty was nowhere near hers.” Yan Caizhu could not hold back his hunger as he took a bite of his pasta, “Those women were indeed lawless, but Wan Shen herself was not innocent either.”
“Alright, I get it now. You can continue to hide from your designer.” With a better grasp of the general situation now, a plan formed in Zhong Simo’s head.
“What do you mean by my designer? Zhong Simo, don’t you change the topic now. What are you planning to do after asking so much about her? Let me tell you this now, I don’t care what happens to Wan Sheng, but that group of people can not be revealed, or it’ll be a whole other can of worms, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Realising Zhong Simo’s intention to put the phone down after getting the answers he wanted, Yan Caizhu quickly spoke, not even worrying about his hunger anymore.
“Don’t worry, I know the rules better than you do.” Zhong Simo answered as if it was nothing, “Besides, there is no way I will ruin Wan Sheng’s reputation right now.”
He would go so far as to make sure that none of her dirty laundry would be exposed to the public, but in the same way, she could stop thinking about ever appearing in front of the public again.
