Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Tell me, what happened between you and Rong Yan?

The entire blockade of the hotel was live-streamed on the internet ahead of everyone else.
It seized the heat of the news right away!
Meanwhile, at the same time, inside the top-tier private room of the Lan Club.
Cui Jiangjing and Fu Yi looked at each other as they watched a man in the corner relentlessly lifting his wineglass, tilting his head back to pour drink after drink into his stomach as if it were free and life meant nothing.
“Why don’t you go over and ask,” Fu Yi took the cards from Cui Jiangjing’s hand, shooing him away and taking his place, “I’ll play for you this round.”
Cui Jiangjing was also worried about Li Shengxiao, hesitated a moment, then yielded his spot to him, “Play well, don’t gamble away all my winnings.”
“It’s all about luck,” the fox-like refined young master raised an eyebrow, saying with a shallow smile.
“Bullshit! You’ve never lost when you play yourself, what luck are you talking about! In any case, if you lose for me, you’ll have to compensate me with that vacation villa of yours on Mao Liu Island.”
Not waiting for the other to respond, he glanced urgently towards the corner, “That settles it.”
Then, like his butt was on fire, he made his way to the corner.
This private room was easily a hundred square meters, the largest of the Lan Club, and never open to the public, usually only for their group’s use.
Just now, they had started a game, and quite a few people had come to play.
Cui Jiangjing made his way through the crowd, directly to the furthest corner. He plonked himself next to a handsome man, flashed a cheeky smile at Shen Siyuan, who seemed on the verge of tears, wrapped an arm over Li Shengxiao’s shoulders, and said, “Siyuan, I’ll keep Shengxiao company for a few drinks; go watch Fu Yi play cards for a while. You can come back later.”
“But…”
Shen Siyuan was reluctant to leave.
She finally ran into the man she’d long been yearning for and didn’t want to walk away. But she wasn’t blind and could see that Li Shengxiao wasn’t in a good mood tonight.
What she wanted to know was why he was in a bad mood.
Cui Jiangjing waved his hand grandly, joking yet insistent, “No ‘buts’. I want to chat with Shengxiao for a bit, go play at Fu Yi’s table for a while. Come back later.”
“Otherwise, you can just stay here and keep drinking in silence with him.”
Shen Siyuan glanced at the man who was indifferent to their conversation, helplessly made a concession, “I’ll go see Fu Yi. Stop Shengxiao from drinking; you know he has a bad stomach.”
He knew more than just about the man’s bad stomach—he also knew that the man had a wife! As the only one who knew about Li Shengxiao’s secret marriage to Rong Yan, facing Shen Siyuan’s tender concern, Cui Jiangjing struggled painfully inside, not daring to speak out, “I know, don’t worry. You don’t trust me?”
“It’s because of you that I worry!” Shen Siyuan reproached him without holding back.
Cui Jiangjing always felt a sense of guilt towards her, didn’t dare meet her eyes, and hustled her, “Alright, alright, go on over, stay here any longer, and I won’t need to persuade him. The guy might have already drunk himself to a bleeding stomach!”
Shen Siyuan reluctantly walked away…
Only when she was far enough away,
did he snatch the wineglass from the resolute man’s hand, saying irritably, “Stop drinking! Didn’t you hear what Siyuan just said? If you keep drinking like this, it won’t be the alcohol that gets you drunk—it’ll be your stomach that’s ruined first!”
He rolled his eyes, took the bottle away, sighed, and asked, “Tell me, what’s going on between you and Rong Yan? Did you two have a fight?”
Otherwise, the man who rarely showed up at the games he organized, how could he suddenly honor him with his presence today, and the moment he sat down, he was exuding a ‘keep away’ aura, just drowning in drink!
