After I Gave Up/Let Things Slide, I Became Famous Across The Entire Internet - Chapter 18

Tang Shuxia tilted her head, “You like women?”

Xu Yujing let go of the wrist she was holding, “Why would you think that?”

Tang Shuxia scrutinized him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. His expression was calm, as if his gentle demeanor just now was an illusion. “What do you need me to do?”

Xu Yujing clasped his hands together, “Someone in my family thinks I’m useless and is urgently trying to arrange for someone to take care of the rest of my life. I hate having people interfere in my life.”

Even more so, she hated people interfering with her life.

Xu Yujing looked at the person in front of her, who was staring intently at him, “I need you to act as my girlfriend when necessary.”

Tang Shuxia, “Well, that’s a coincidence.”

Xu Yujing extended his hand, “So, a partnership?”

It must be said that this partnership was full of temptation, and Tang Shuxia was very tempted, but her woman’s intuition kept telling her something was not right.

Seeing her hesitate, Xu Yujing retracted his hand, “If you are unwilling, just pretend I never said anything today. I can disregard your previous promises. However, without Xu Heng, your father will definitely find you Liu Heng, Ma Heng, Zhang Heng one of the ‘Hengs’ will surely suit your taste.”

Tang Shuxia, “???”

She would follow Tang Mingcheng’s arrangements? What a joke! Her marriage was hers and hers alone to decide.

Besides, her promises were always valid.

Tang Shuxia grasped the hand that was about to retract. The palm of his hand was very cold, like a piece of ice, “A pleasant partnership.”

When Zhang Zeyang arrived, he once again saw a few bare vines hanging down from above the villa, and a ground littered with withered leaves in the grass. It was a perfectly good courtyard, yet it always gave him the feeling of having been ransacked. What was more bizarre was that his young mistress not only forbade anyone from pulling those bare vines off but even ordered him to call a few more people to transplant a type of greenery known for its strong vitality and thick vines.

Would such a courtyard look better??

Zhang Zeyang entered the door with this puzzling question and happened to run into Tang Shuxia, who was about to leave.

Zhang Zeyang, “You”

Tang Shuxia remembered this person. Occasionally, when she was on the second-floor balcony, she could see this man frequently entering and leaving the villa. However, each time, he carried a briefcase, hurried in, and hurried out, generally not staying long. Coupled with his businesslike manner of speaking, he was memorable.

Tang Shuxia gave him a slight smile. As they brushed past each other, she suddenly turned and asked, “Xu Yujing, can I borrow one of your people?”

Zhang Zeyang, “?”

Xu Yujing was surprised but didn’t ask further, “Certainly.”

Zhang Zeyang, “??”

Tang Shuxia gave him a satisfied look, “Wait for me at the door at this time tomorrow.”

Zhang Zeyang, “???”

He watched Tang Shuxia leave gracefully, in disbelief, “Miss, you actually invited her to the house, she, she, she.”

Xu Yujing turned his wheelchair, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned, “You will see her often in the future, don’t be surprised.”

Zhang Zeyang, “!!!”

It felt like two cat paws suddenly started scratching inside Zhang Zeyang’s heart. Unfortunately, he couldn’t figure out why Tang Shuxia was there until he left. Adhering to his professional ethics, he was still at the villa entrance on time the next day, waiting, only to see a cute $squaresquare$ car drive past him, finally stopping next door.

Zhang Zeyang watched the car owner subserviently welcome Tang Shuxia into the car. He watched this car glide past him with his own eyes, only for it to immediately brake sharply and reverse back.

Tang Shuxia opened the car door, “Get in.”

Xie Jinzhi scrutinized him up and down, “Why didn’t you find a woman? A woman would be more convenient.”

Zhang Zeyang bent over and got into the car, maintaining a distance of an arm’s length from Tang Shuxia, “I think a man is sometimes more convenient than a woman to get things done.”

Xie Jinzhi did not comment, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off. Zhang Zeyang almost slammed his face into the back of her seat, quickly using his hands to steady himself, only to hear the woman in front of him erupt in loud laughter, “I doubt that. Some men are too careless and clumsy themselves, how can they take care of others?”

Zhang Zeyang, “…”

Never mind, a good man doesn’t quarrel with a woman.

He glanced at the ’employer’ next to him, “Miss Tang, what do you need me to do for you?”

Before he left, his young mistress had explicitly told him to cooperate fully with any request Tang Shuxia made.

Tang Shuxia propped her chin on her hand and scrutinized the man next to her who looked thin and weak, tentatively asking, “If I asked you to help me investigate Tang Mingcheng, would that be okay?”

Xie Jinzhi’s hand trembled, almost causing her to take the wrong turn. The car behind them honked loudly, making her heart flutter, yet she still wanted to hear what was being said in the back.

Zhang Zeyang almost bit his tongue. Fortunately, he had looked into Tang Shuxia’s family background last time; otherwise, he might not have been able to answer this question. As for why the daughter wanted someone to investigate her own father, that was outside his scope of inquiry, “Yes.”

A smile appeared on Tang Shuxia’s face, “I need you to investigate for me…”

Zhang Zeyang understood, “Three days. This information will appear in Miss Tang’s email.”

Tang Shuxia smiled with satisfaction.

Xie Jinzhi, however, kept glancing at Zhang Zeyang through the rearview mirror. When the three of them arrived at the company parking lot and saw Zhang Zeyang following them in, she couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Is he coming to the company with us too?”

Tang Shuxia, “Is there a problem?”

Xie Jinzhi couldn’t determine Zhang Zeyang’s identity for a moment. Being a personal assistant seemed too small for him. If he wasn’t an assistant, then what was he? Could he possibly be the manager that her Shuxia hired with a huge sum of money?

The thought made Xie Jinzhi’s scalp tingle.

Suddenly, an intrusive voice popped up from the side, “Oh, isn’t this our Sister Shuxia? Sister Shuxia finally has time to come to the company. You look radiant, I suppose your illness is almost better, right?”

Xi Qingshu’s manager laughed, “Look what you’re saying, child. Shuxia is a huge star now. I’m afraid she’s eager to get back to work. You should learn from Sister Shuxia in the future. You don’t need to learn ten-tenths of it, but if you can learn seven or eight tenths of Shuxia’s charm, you definitely won’t starve.”

Xie Jinzhi, “Jian Chunyu, I advise you to watch your mouth. I didn’t expect your eyes to be failing before your menopause. You have this much free time, you might as well go to the hospital and get an eye exam.”

Zhang Zeyang already predicted that a war between women would ensue. Three women make a scene; the ancients did not deceive me.

Xi Qingshu walked over to Tang Shuxia, swaying her slender waist, extended her hand, and greeted her with a smile, “Sister Shuxia, please take care of me in the future.”

Tang Shuxia glanced at her sideways, “Who are you?”

Zhang Zeyang almost burst out laughing, just as he saw the face of the woman, which had been sculpted to look somewhat like a snake spirit, nearly twist with anger.
