Recount of a Cannon Fodder’s Counterattack (17)
After another five minutes, Jin Jingyao finally came back. He was impeccably dressed in his suit, full of energy. He didn’t seem like the person who had kissed Lu Shijin so deeply in the washroom.
“Boss, why did it take you so long to go to the washroom? I was originally going to find you, but for some reason, the washroom on the first floor was locked. Did you go to another washroom?” Seeing Jin Jingyao, Wang Lizhi completely forgot about Lu Shijin and asked Jin Jingyao with a smile.
“Yes, to the basement. I happened to meet a friend there and chatted a bit.” Jin Jingyao sat down expressionlessly, pretending to accidentally glance at Lu Shijin, “Right, I seemed to have seen Mr. Lu go out as well?”
Wang Lizhi responded before Lu Shijin could, “Yes, he felt stuffed, so he went to the mall.”
Jin Jingyao smiled, “I think I saw a black car bring him back, the mall’s this close, does he need a car to pick him up?”
Wang Lizhi’s smile froze on his face. Someone brought Lu Shijin back? Could Lu Shijin have met with someone behind his back?
Lu Shijin calmly explained, “It’s the same as you, boss. I also met a friend at the mall and he brought me back. Is there a problem?”
“Of course not, I was just asking. Mr. Lu doesn’t need to be nervous.” Jin Jingyao replied.
“I don’t understand what you mean,” Lu Shijin said. “How am I nervous?”
“Okay, okay, enough.” Wang Lizhi didn’t want them to start arguing, because he would be put in an awkward spot as the middle person, so he hurriedly smoothed things over. “It’s normal for friends to send each other back.”
“Da-Pen, you’re too kind, but I don’t think certain people deserve your trust.” Jin Jingyao sneered. “Okay, I’ll stop talking. I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving.”
“You’re leaving? Why don’t we have dinner together?” Wang Lizhi wasn’t willing to let him go.
Jin Jingyao glanced at Lu Shijin. Although Lu Shijin noticed, he didn’t do anything.
Jin Jingyao said lightly, “Maybe next time, I don’t have much of an appetite today.”
After Jiin Jingyao left, Wang Lizhi felt uncomfortable. Jin Jingyao wouldn’t randomly start talking about it, so could he be implying that Lu Shijin betrayed him?
Wang Lizhi deliberately swept his gaze over Lu Shijin, but Lu Shijin was very calm, like nothing was wrong.
The calmer Lu Shijin was, the more suspicious Wang Lizhi became.
From then on, Wang Lizhi began keeping a tighter watch over Lu Shijin’s actions.
But he didn’t obstruct any of them. He didn’t even ask Lu Shijin about what he was doing, giving him a lot of freedom.
Lu Shijin didn’t disappoint and began going out all the time. In a week, he would come back late over half the time.
Wang Lizhi paid attention and carefully inspected Lu Shijin’s clothes when he took them off to shower.
As expected, he smelt the faint scent of cologne on them.
The faint ambergris definitely belonged to a man.
Wang Lizhi started doing that every time Lu Shijin returned late.
Every single time, he would smell that exact same scent.
——
“I think Lu Shijin’s cheating on me.”
Wang Lizhi spoke to his cousin, Wang Jinqu, and described all of Lu Shijin’s recent behavior.
Wang Jinqu was like Wang Lizhi, a fool who didn’t even finish high school. He was also addicted to his phone. With his cousin rising to fame, his entire family was able to act like they were something and Wang Jinqu was currently working as one of Wang Lizhi’s secretaries.
Wang Jinqu said disbelievingly, “No way, doesn’t Lu Shijin have social anxiety? He knows how to hook up now?”
Wang Lizhi said angrily, “I’ve already found evidence. Every time he comes back, he would have the scent of the same person. What could it be if not because he’s seeing someone behind my back!”
“But didn’t you say that he’s a pushover who can’t do anything?” Wang Jinqu said, “Could he find someone like that?”
“Ge, you don’t understand.” Wang Lizhi said unhappily, “There are three types of people: tops, bottoms, and switches. Switches can top or bottom.”
“Oh, so this son of a bitch is eating from the bowl while eyeing the pot!” Wang Jinqu got the gist of it and immediately became angry, “Di, what’s your plan? Ge will support you!”
“I was originally planning on breaking up with him peacefully. For better or for worse, he has been working hard for me. I was planning on giving him some money as compensation when the time came.” Wang Lizhi said coldly, “But since he dares give me a green hat, then I won’t hold back. Heh, wanting to raise some boytoy with my money, what a joke!”
“Di, so you’re implying.” Wang Jinqu supported Wang Lizhi’s complaints, “That you shouldn’t give this kind of double-timing trash a single cent! How do you plan on doing it?”
Wang Lizhi said, “I plan on first getting a private detective to follow him and get tangible evidence of his cheating.”
“Why go through so much trouble?” Wang Jinqu scratched his head, “Can’t you just kick him out?”
“No, he needs to break up first.” Wang Lizhi said solemnly, “If I bring it up, then he might start a rumor that I abandoned him, which would affect my image. But if he brings it up, then it’s his problem and I don’t need to do anything.”
Wang Jinqu nodded, “You’re so good at this. Okay, then I’ll go find a trustworthy detective right now and properly investigate this trash!”
“Okay, Ge, I don’t trust anyone else with this. You’re the closest one to me, I trust you. Don’t mess this up.” Wang Lizhi ordered.”
Wang Jinqu patted his chest, “Don’t worry! Nothing will go wrong!”
Meanwhile, Jin Jinyao started getting even closer to Wang Lizhi. Other than seeing each other more in private, they also started interacting on Weibo, commenting under each other’s posts with an ambiguous tone.
Their fans noticed this abnormality, as if they were trying to publicly announce something?
Last time, when they posted the cosplay pictures, CP fans of Wang Lizhi and Jin Jingyao formed. Their interactions on Weibo were naturally taken as sugar by the fans.
The CP fans became crazed, thinking that they had finally got a real couple, leaving comments everyday begging them to go public.
Jin Jingyao going along with his actions made Wang Lizhi ecstatic, completely forgetting his anger from finding out about Lu Shijin’s infidelity.
Finally, at one of their meetings, Wang Lizhi got Jin Jingyao to admit out loud that he wanted to date him.
