Chapter 146: Sowing Discord!
That night, after Nangong Qingcheng and Chu Feifei heard about the events of the afternoon, they also felt a strong sense of righteous indignation.
The two women were shopping at the mall at the time, unaware of everything, and then went to classes. It wasn't until they got home that they saw the heated discussions online, and after asking Liu Shiyuan, they found out the details.
"This is outrageous! Pan Sheng, that bastard, went too far. Shiyuan, why didn't you call us then?" Chu Feifei couldn't help but feel the urge to seek retribution against Pan Sheng again, speaking to Liu Shiyuan with anger.
"In such cases, Shiyuan, you should have reported it to the police." Nangong Qingcheng frowned as well.
Seeing that both of them were genuinely speaking out for her, Liu Shiyuan felt very touched and said with a smile, "It's all resolved now, thanks to Brother Jiang. He said he can even help my dad with his illness."
"When did Jiang Feng learn medical skills?" Nangong Qingcheng looked very puzzled. She felt that Jiang Feng was becoming more and more of an enigma, as if there was nothing he couldn't handle.
"I don't know either; Brother Jiang told me so himself." Liu Shiyuan said honestly.
"That old rascal, just wants to show off by himself and didn't even call us. I'm going to find him!" Chu Feifei was so upset that she jumped off the sofa and ran to find Jiang Feng angrily.
At this moment, Jiang Feng was taking a shower in the bathroom. Nangong Qingcheng was speechless as she watched Chu Feifei run over recklessly to knock on the door.
...
At this moment, night had fallen at the South City M2 Bar.
Unlike the lively bars like July Fire and Dynasty, M2 Bar focuses on music as its theme, with House music as its style, performing slow-tempo music, and primarily creating an ambiguous atmosphere. It combines Hip-Hop, R&B, Blues, Pop, House Hip-Hop elements, and incorporates dance shows, singers, and instrumental performances, allowing everyone to feel like they're at a party every night while drinking here.
In a warmly lit corner seat, Pan Haoting was drinking alone in deep melancholy, surrounded by empty Chivas bottles. He was clearly intoxicated, with a strong aroma of alcohol.
The events of the afternoon, when Pan Haoting personally visited the Liu Family to apologize, had also reached him, which infuriated him to no end. Coupled with the humiliation of kneeling at noon, it was a double disgrace!
That's why he came here alone to drown his sorrows in alcohol, hoping that it would ease his pain.
"Oh, who do we have here, isn't it Young Master Pan Sheng? It's been a while. What's with the decadence, Young Master Pan? Drinking alone here to drown your sorrows?"
Suddenly, a mocking voice came from in front of his booth.
With the teasing words lingering in the air, the half-drunken Pan Sheng looked up and recognized a very familiar figure!
Not only did he know this person, he could even say this is his nemesis. Before the person went abroad, they were always in a state of rivalry, but Pan Sheng never expected the other party to return to the country, and by coincidence, ran into them at M2.
"You guys find a private room first. I'll have a few drinks with Young Master Pan." That person said to the four friends who came with him.
"Okay, Young Master Tang." The four glanced at Pan Sheng and then went upstairs.
All four were dressed in suits with branded watches and ties, clearly showing that they were returnees, ready to make a name for themselves in Binhai.
"Speak up. What could possibly make the dignified Young Master Pan so upset, drinking to drown your sorrows, heartbreak, or were you cuckolded?" Young Master Tang sat down opposite Pan Sheng, asking with a face full of "concern".
"Tang Fei, I'm not in a good mood today, you better not bother me." Pan Sheng said coldly.
"Oh, I'm so scared! But Pan Sheng, I did miss you these years abroad. Even if we hadn't met today, I intended to call you out for a few drinks and catch up." Tang Fei sneered, but helped himself to a bottle of Chivas from Pan Sheng's hand and poured a glass.
Speaking of which, Pan Sheng and Tang Fei had a good relationship in the past when they went to the same elite school, being inseparable brothers.
But later, both fell for the same girl, and the friendship turned into enmity.
Subsequently, their relationship worsened to the point of intense hostility. In the vast Binhai, whatever one had, the other would compete for, leading to two opposing camps!
All of this came to a halt after Tang Fei went abroad for further studies, but unexpectedly, Tang Fei returned, signaling the return of covert and overt conflicts between them!
Pan Sheng stared at Tang Fei, his expression extremely sullen: "Drink up and leave, I won't repeat myself."
"Haha, still so irritable?" Tang Fei laughed, "Pan Sheng, I know you were upset when I snatched Sha Xiaoli for myself back then, but that was years ago. We've grown up now, don't be so petty. Come on, have a drink."
As Tang Fei spoke, he proudly raised his glass, clinked it with Pan Sheng's, and drank it in one go.
Hearing him mention Sha Xiaoli's name, Pan Sheng suddenly thought of something, and immediate schemes began forming in his mind as he sneered coldly: "Tang Fei, I must admit, back then you had the means. Although I was an arrogant second-generation rich kid, I never thought of taking a girl from school by force! You relied on your father being the right-hand man of Chu Renxiong, which made you even more daring. You're tougher than me, I'll give you that."
"Hahahaha, so you're admitting to being a coward! After all these years, I've finally heard something pleasing from you. If you knew this would happen, why did you act the way you did? No matter how rich your dad is, in terms of influence, he can't compare to mine!" Tang Fei laughed arrogantly.
"That's true. Your dad is the third in command under Chu Renxiong, ranking just below Zhu Ge Yuheng, and you are the second in command among the younger generation in the entire Chu Group, just below Chu Yan and Zhu Ge Yuheng."
Pan Sheng deliberately flattered Tang Fei, then intentionally added, "But so what? In the past, your tactics for picking up girls were not impressive. Now, if you can do something that makes me sit up and take notice, then I'll respect you."
"What is it?" As expected, Tang Fei took the bait and asked with a frown.
"You're right, I've been having a rough time recently. There's a girl I fancy, but I can't have her because there's a thorn protecting her, posing an insurmountable obstacle for me, so I've given up. If you want to prove you're better than me, then win that girl over, and I'll admit you have the skills!" Pan Sheng said coldly.
"Hahaha! Pan Sheng, you're still such a loser. You're almost an heir to your family now and still can't win over a girl? That's all you've got?" Tang Fei mocked with a loud laugh.
"Let me remind you, it's not that I can't do it, but that the obstacle I mentioned has a close relationship with your father's big brother, so think it through. Don't boast only to find yourself humiliated." Pan Sheng smirked.
"Chu Renxiong?" Tang Fei immediately stopped laughing and asked with a frown.
"Yes, not only Chu Renxiong but also Chu Feifei. He saved Chu Feifei's life, so she stands by his side. That man is now protecting a few girls led by Chu Feifei, and the girl I fancy is Chu Feifei's roommate." Pan Sheng said lightly.
Tang Fei fell silent; he didn't expect it to be so complicated, and he pondered.
"What, afraid?" Pan Sheng sneered, "I said you were nothing. You came back from abroad looking all prestigious, but it's worthless. Stop boasting before me in the future so you don't embarrass yourself when it all falls through."
Faced with Pan Sheng's continuous provocation, Tang Fei stood up angrily and said coldly, "Pan Sheng, if I win over this girl you mentioned, what then?"
"Aren't you afraid of Chu Feifei and Chu Renxiong?" Pan Sheng asked without showing any emotion.
"Afraid of what! My dad has fought alongside Chu Renxiong for so long, is he inferior to an outsider? As for Chu Feifei, we grew up together with a great relationship. She wouldn't stand in my way for someone else." Tang Fei said with a fierce face, full of confidence!
"Fine, if you can really do it, we can write off all our past grievances. I'll host a gathering to apologize to you, so everyone knows I've acknowledged you." Pan Sheng still appeared calm.
"You said it, no backing out!" Tang Fei smirked, drank another glass, and then turned and left. For this wager with Pan Sheng, he must act quickly.
"Chu Feifei, I can't ruin your relationships as an outsider, but provoking internal conflict among you should work, right?" Pan Sheng watched Tang Fei leave and sneered coldly!
