Chapter 1252 Conflict, Wang Ying, the Domineering Protector of Her Husband
When the music prelude and Zhou Chen's singing sounded, everyone in the private room was stunned.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
"Happy birthday to you..., I wish you happiness forever."
Qin Chuan, Xie Qiao and others looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought Zhou Chen was going to sing some song, but unexpectedly, it was a birthday song.
Wang Ying was speechless. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to do this at this time. It was agreed to watch his performance, but this is the result?
Xiao Qianxi smiled and said, "Did you notice that Zhou Chen's singing is really good?"
He Xiaozhou agreed very much: "It's really good."
Qin Chuan pouted: "I'm not worse than him if I go up."
Xie Qiao said in a blow: "Forget it, your tone-deaf voice is far worse than Zhou Chen's."
A birthday song was quickly sung, Xiao Qianxi and He Xiaozhou took the lead in applauding, and everyone else followed suit.
Zhou Chen took the microphone and said, "I just cleared my throat. Now let's get to the point. You can tell me what you want to hear. I can sing anything I can sing."
Unfortunately, the few people looked at each other and no one spoke. Finally, Wang Ying said, "You can sing whatever you want."
Zhou Chen went over and operated a few times, and chose the song, Jacky Cheung's "Stealing Heart".
"It is loneliness that slowly occupies my heart, and the long night is getting more and more desolate..."
"Who stole my heart secretly..."
As Zhou Chen gradually sang to the climax, the few people in the private room were shocked. Some people had never heard of this song, but listening to Zhou Chen singing it, it was really too emotional.
"It sounds good, too good."
Xie Qiao instantly turned into a little fan girl, snatched the props from Qin Chuan's hand, shook it vigorously, and her body swayed left and right.
Qin Chuan muttered sourly: "When did this guy hide this trick? He really sang like that."
The most surprised person was naturally Wang Ying. Although Zhou Chen had said before that he sang well, she had never heard it in person. Now that she heard Zhou Chen's singing, she was really surprised.
It was really beautiful. It turned out that Zhou Chen not only understood music, but also sang very well.
After singing a song, everyone couldn't help but applaud.
Xie Qiao even stood up and jumped and rushed towards Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, it's so beautiful, so handsome, how can you sing so well."
Zhou Chen reached out and pressed Xie Qiao's head to stop her rush.
"My girlfriend, your boyfriend is here, you still want to take advantage of me?"
Xie Qiao covered her head dissatisfiedly: "This is a hug as a fan, you are too mean."
Zhou Chen stuffed the microphone into her hand and sat down next to Wang Ying again.
"How was my singing?"
Wang Ying gave a thumbs up: "Nice."
Zhou Chen smiled proudly: "I haven't sung for a long time, this is not my best condition."
"Look how proud you are."
That said, Wang Ying handed her cup to Zhou Chen, who took it and drank the drink in it.
The atmosphere in the box was still lively, with laughter and fun, festive and exciting.
Wang Ying could really sit still. No matter how Xie Qiao and the others pulled her, she didn't go up to sing. She just sat with Zhou Chen, watching them play, occasionally drinking some beer and eating some fruit.
"I'm going to get my hair done the day after tomorrow. Can you come with me?"
"Okay."
Wang Ying touched her hair and asked, "What do you think of me having long hair? Will it look good?"
Zhou Chen answered without hesitation, "Of course it looks good. You look beautiful with short or long hair. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful."
Wang Ying sighed helplessly, "Some words are no longer meaningful when they are said too much."
"Okay, then I will never praise you for your beauty again."
"You dare."
Wang Ying's almond eyes glared, full of "murderous" threats, which Zhou Chen found very cute. He pulled her over and rubbed her face.
"Oh, you ruined my makeup."
Women are born to love beauty, and Wang Ying is no exception. She doesn't wear makeup when she is at home, but when she goes out, she usually wears makeup, but it's just some clean cosmetics, lipstick, powder and other light makeup.
Faced with Wang Ying's panic, Zhou Chen laughed triumphantly.
After sitting for a while, Qin Chuan could no longer sit still. He was a person who liked to come and go. When he came to such a place, he naturally could not stay idle.
In a blink of an eye, several hours passed.
During these hours, Wang Ying was also dragged up to sing a song, but she just hummed behind others and had no sense of existence at all.
Wang Ying, who had drunk a lot of alcohol, finally couldn't sit still. She stood up and went to the bathroom.
"I'll go with you."
Zhou Chen also stood up and walked out of the private room with Wang Ying.
After Zhou Chen finished flushing the water, he walked to the opposite wall and leaned against it. He peeled a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, quietly waiting for Wang Ying to come out.
A few minutes later, Wang Ying came out, washed her hands, and then naturally took the paper from Zhou Chen's hand and wiped it.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost twelve o'clock. Did you agree to spend the night tonight?" Zhou Chen asked.
Wang Ying replied, "That being said, they shouldn't be that late. They will definitely be tired soon. The school dormitory has already closed, so they can't go back now. They will probably rest here for a while."
Zhou Chen nodded, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. Everyone was young and energetic, so even if they stayed up all night, it would have no impact.
"Are you tired? Why don't you sleep on me for a while?"
"I can't sleep because it's so noisy. I'd better wait until it's over and go back to sleep."
When passing by a box, there was a man talking on the phone at the door of the box. At this moment, he hung up the phone and was about to go back. When he glanced at Zhou Chen and Wang Ying who were passing by, his expression suddenly became startled.
"Wang Ying?"
When she heard someone calling her, Wang Ying looked sideways.
"Li Chao, it's you."
The man named Li Chao looked at Wang Ying and Zhou Chen who were leaning together in surprise and looking intimate.
"Wang Ying, you are here to sing too, who is this?"
Wang Ying introduced Zhou Chen generously: "Zhou Chen, my boyfriend."
Then he whispered to Zhou Chen: "This is Li Chao. He used to play with Yang Cheng and me. We are in the same circle."
Zhou Chen immediately understood that Li Chao was also the second generation. Being able to play with Yang Cheng and Wang Ying meant that his family was either an official or very rich.
"Boy friend?"
Li Chao's eyes became even weirder. He glanced at Zhou Chen and found that he didn't know him or was familiar with him, but he didn't underestimate him either. The Wang family was quite powerful, and even his family was inferior to them.
Wang Ying is a well-known aloof young lady in their circle. Because of her beauty and her family situation, many people in their circle actually have thoughts about her.
But apart from having a good relationship with Yang Cheng, she was generally polite to others. In the past, she rarely participated in games without Yang Cheng.
Now this eldest lady actually has a boyfriend, and he doesn't seem to be in their circle, which makes him surprised.
He couldn't figure out Zhou Chen's direction, but he still greeted him very politely: "Hello, friend."
Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, Zhou Chen also responded politely: "Hello."
Li Chao said to Wang Ying: "You are here, and Yang Cheng should be here too. Do you want to come and sit down? We are all acquaintances here, Shen Di, Jin Zi, Yueyue and the others."
Wang Ying refused: "No, it's my friend's birthday today, so I won't disturb you. I'll ask Yang Cheng about it later."
"Oh well."
Seeing Wang Ying's refusal, Li Chao didn't say anything. Everyone in their group knew that Wang Ying had a cold temper and were used to her tone of voice.
"Then let's go back first."
After Wang Ying finished speaking, she took Zhou Chen's hand and left.
Li Chao looked at the backs of Zhou Chen and Wang Ying, scratching his head in surprise.
"It's so strange. Didn't this flower of the high mountains go to school in Beiqing? When did she have a boyfriend? I never heard Yang Cheng mention it."
Confused, he looked back at the box behind him, showed a weird smile, and then pushed the door open and entered.
There were several young men and women in the box, some were sitting together drinking, and some were singing. He walked over and grabbed the microphone from the hand of the girl who was singing.
The girl who was robbed of the microphone was very dissatisfied and yelled: "Li Chao, what are you doing? I haven't finished singing yet."
Li Chao took the microphone and said loudly: "Stop singing now. Guess who I just saw outside the door?"
"Who did you see?"
"It's not like you saw a pretty girl, teased her, and was looked down upon."
There were a lot of chatter, making everyone else laugh.
Li Chao was not angry. He walked over and turned off the music and continued: "I just saw Wang Ying at the door, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there is a man beside Wang Ying. She told me , that’s her boyfriend, Shen Di, do you have anything to say? "
In an instant, the noise in the private room disappeared instantly, and everyone's eyes involuntarily shifted to a young man sitting on the sofa.
The young man was talking to his friends when he suddenly heard Li Chao's words. His expression suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly.
"Li Chao, can you say it again?"
Zhou Chen and Wang Ying returned to the private room and found that everyone had stopped singing. Maybe they were hungry, so they gathered around and started eating cakes.
Wang Ying said to Yang Cheng: "Yang Cheng, I just met Li Chao. They are in the 888 box. Would you like to come over and sit down?"
Yang Cheng looked surprised: "What a coincidence, are Li Chao and the others here too? I'll go over and say hello later, will you come?"
He is a fun-loving person. He often goes to KTV, bars, billiards rooms, etc., and has many friends. In their circle, he is definitely the one who stands in the C position.
Wang Ying shook her head: "I won't go. You know, I don't like this kind of entertainment."
"That's up to you." Yang Cheng also knew Wang Ying's character and didn't care.
Zhou Chen cut a piece of cake for Wang Ying, but Wang Ying only took a few bites.
"Yeah, it's too sweet. Let's eat it for you."
Zhou Chen didn't mind, took it from Wang Ying's hand, and ate it with a cake fork.
Wang Ying's face burst into a happy smile when she saw that Zhou Chen was so smooth and didn't dislike his movements at all.
Yang Cheng sat aside, looking hot. He glanced at Xie Qiao, who was chatting with Qin Chuan over there, and felt very depressed.
Look at this couple, and then look at him and Xie Qiao.
"Qiaoqiao, cut a piece of cake for me too."
"Ah, oh, didn't you just say you wouldn't eat?"
Xie Qiao turned around and asked with a strange look on her face. She wanted to give it to Yang Cheng just now, but Yang Cheng said he didn't want to eat it. Why did he want to eat it again?
Yang Cheng: "I didn't want to eat it just now, but now I want to eat it."
Qin Chuan said angrily: "If you want to eat it, you can't do it yourself. Don't you have hands?"
Yang Cheng retorted: "It's none of your business. I called you my girlfriend, and I didn't ask you to do it."
"Hey..."
Qin Chuan was about to speak again, but at this moment, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open, and many people they didn't know walked in.
"Excuse me, you..."
He Xiaozhou stood up and was about to ask a question, but the young man in a leather jacket who walked in first spoke first.
"Yang Cheng, Wang Ying, I just heard from Li Chao that you are here too. I didn't believe it. So you are really here. Oh, birthday cake, whose birthday is it? I brought you two bottles of good wine."
"Gold."
Yang Cheng stood up: "Why are you here? I was just going to find you later."
Shen Di came out and said in a deep voice: "I heard from Li Chao that you are all here, and Wang Ying has a boyfriend. We are all very curious, so we came together to see. Didn't disturb you?"
Although he was answering Yang Cheng, his eyes were always on Wang Ying and Zhou Chen.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly. As a friend in the same circle, he certainly knew that Shen Di was interested in Wang Ying, but Wang Ying was very clear that she was not interested in Shen Di. Now Shen Di suddenly came here, which was not a good intention.
Wang Ying looked at Shen Di and frowned. She didn't like to play with these second-generations. A big part of the reason was that she couldn't stand what they did. She was not the kind of person who liked to read people's faces, so she rarely contacted these people except Yang Cheng before.
Zhou Chen was so sensitive that he noticed something was wrong when Shen Di looked over, but he still slowly finished the cake Wang Ying had left, and then looked up at Shen Di.
With just one glance, he saw hostility in Shen Di's eyes, which made him speechless.
It's already 20... Oh, it's only 2002, so there's no problem. It seems normal for such a plot to happen, but he didn't expect it to happen to him.
Although Wang Ying is an important female supporting role in "Zeng Shao Nian", she is not the heroine after all. She appears many times, but her background is not explained much. In the play, except for Yang Cheng, her childhood friend, she has never seen any good friends.
Even if there are, they are probably just some face friends. This can be seen from the fact that only Yang Cheng is willing to help her after her family fell into trouble.
But now Wang Ying's family is still on the rise, and she still has a lot of "friends", but he didn't expect that a mere birthday party would actually let him encounter such a bloody thing.
Since the autographed photo, Yang Cheng's perception of Zhou Chen has changed a lot. Naturally, he didn't want anything embarrassing to happen, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Jin Zi, Shen Di, Li Chao, my girlfriend's roommate is having a birthday here today. You go back first, I'll find you later."
Jin Zi and Li Chao and other men and women all smiled and replied: "Okay, let's go back first and wait for you to come over for a drink."
As they said, they were about to leave, but Shen Di not only didn't leave, but instead said to Wang Ying: "Wang Ying, is he your boyfriend? He doesn't look that good."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the box changed immediately. Even Jin Zi and others who came with Shen Di frowned slightly.
They all played in the same circle, so they naturally knew that Shen Di was interested in Wang Ying, but this kind of thing requires both parties to be willing.
It doesn't matter if you have a one-sided love, but if you are so rude in front of them, it would be too rude and ugly. They are all children of rich officials, not those street scoundrels, and they all want to save face.
Wang Ying stood up suddenly and looked at Shen Di with a cold face.
"My boyfriend is none of your business. It's not your turn to talk about it. Shen Di, don't make trouble for no reason."
Shen Di said dissatisfiedly: "Wang Ying, do your parents know that you have a boyfriend? Where did this pretty boy come from? What qualifications does he have to be your boyfriend?"
When he was a child, he grew up in the same compound with Wang Ying and Yang Cheng. He always had a good impression of Wang Ying, but it was a pity that the flower was interested, but the water was ruthless.
If he hadn't met her, it would be fine, but now that he had met her, he was very unhappy.
Zhou Chen was speechless when he heard that he was regarded as a pretty boy. Was this guy blind, or was the light in the box too dim? Could he be considered a pretty boy with his skin color?
Wang Ying became even angrier after hearing what Shen Di said, and angrily said, "This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Shen Di, you are not welcome here, please leave immediately."
Shen Di was even more upset when he saw Wang Ying defending Zhou Chen like this. He was only in his early twenties, and was at the age of full blood.
He cursed Zhou Chen who was still sitting there, "Are you a man? You can only hide behind a woman?"
Zhou Chen didn't do anything, but Wang Ying was instantly angry. She rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Shen Di and shouted, "Shen Di, don't make trouble for no reason, don't force me to turn against you?"
Seeing this posture, Zhou Chen knew that he couldn't hide, so he slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone.
He ignored Shen Di, but pressed Wang Ying's hand down first and let down her sleeves,
"I'm not angry, why are you anxious, anger hurts your body, calm down."
Wang Ying was unhappy, but seeing Zhou Chen's eyes, out of trust in Zhou Chen, she still suppressed her anger in her heart.
Shen Di was already unhappy. Seeing that Zhou Chen and Wang Ying were so close in front of so many people, he became even more unhappy. He said sarcastically: "Why, don't you hide behind women?"
Zhou Chen comforted Wang Ying, then turned around, faced Shen Di, and spoke slowly.
"Whether it's embarrassing or not to hide behind a woman is not a question. At least my girlfriend is willing to stand up for me. My friend, I wonder if this happens to you. Will your girlfriend stand up for you and stand in front of you?"
Shen Di's angry expression suddenly froze, and everyone else looked at Zhou Chen strangely.
They originally thought that Zhou Chen couldn't stand the excitement and were planning to have a confrontation with Shen Di. They also took the opportunity to see how good Zhou Chen was.
But Zhou Chen, on the other hand, didn't care about Shen Di's sarcasm and asked him a question in return. Judging from his demeanor alone, he had already crushed Shen Di.
"What the hell are you talking about..."
Shen Di pointed at Zhou Chen angrily and was about to curse, but the next moment, Zhou Chen grabbed the hand pointing to his face, and he could no longer say the following words.
"ah!"
Zhou Chen just exerted a little force, and Shen Di wailed in pain. The severe pain in his hands made him break out in cold sweat.
"We are all decent people, and there are so many girls here. Swearing is not a good habit."
"Shen Di."
Several people who came with Shen Di saw that Shen Di was at a disadvantage and immediately came over to defend Shen Di.
Zhou Chen pushed Shen Di away with just a slight pull and push, and his friends quickly supported Shen Di.
Shen Di felt that his entire right hand was numb and painful, and he kept sucking in air.
"Shen Di, are you okay?"
Holding back the pain, Shen Di said in a deep voice: "I'm fine."
Looking at Zhou Chen again, he saw that although Zhou Chen had a smile on his face, his eyes seemed very unfriendly. Looking at his red right hand again, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
But he was still hesitating, but a good brother stood up for him. Jin Jin, who was the first to speak when he came in, walked towards Zhou Chen.
"Brother, after all, is it too much for you to do this?"
Zhou Chen showed disdain: "Excessive? That's good. I'll point at him and curse a few words, and he can also attack me. That way it's not too much. How about that?"
Jin Zi was speechless and choked: "You..."
Seeing that he could not communicate with Zhou Chen, he said to Wang Ying: "Wang Ying, Shen Di grew up in the same compound as you after all, and we have known each other for so long, so why don't you care if your boyfriend does this? "
Wang Ying's answer was to walk to Zhou Chen's side, reach out and hold Zhou Chen's hand.
"His attitude is my attitude."
One was a casual friend who had stayed in a compound for several years, and the other was a boyfriend she liked. Naturally, she took sides without any hesitation.
Jin Zi was even more depressed now. He didn't expect Wang Ying to defend her boyfriend so decisively without giving him any face.
But he really has nothing to do against Wang Ying and Zhou Chen. Wang Ying's family is only slightly stronger than his, not to mention he has no reason to offend Wang Ying for Shen Di. It's okay for everyone to eat, drink and have fun together. , but he is not stupid to force his way forward at this time.
Just when he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, Yang Cheng stood up.
"Jin Zi, it's almost done. We are all friends. Why are we making such a fuss? Shen Di, you too. Be more careful what you say next time. Come on, I'll go have a drink with you."
Under Yang Cheng's pull, Jin Zi stepped down, and a group of people left Zhou Chen's private room.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Qin Chuan and others relaxed, especially Qin Chuan. He put down the beer bottle in his hand, but he didn't put it properly and fell to the ground with a bang.
He smiled awkwardly: "Zhou Chen, you are so loyal. If there had been a fight just now, I would have smashed the bottle at them and kept their heads open, but you were really handsome when you did that just now."
He Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianxi asked worriedly: "Will there be any trouble?"
Wang Ying said easily: "It's no big deal. Yang Cheng will take care of it."
She wasn't worried about any trouble. Firstly, she believed Yang Cheng could solve it. Secondly, even if Shen Di was unhappy, with her around, she didn't believe that Shen Di would really dare to do anything.
As for Zhou Chen, there is no need to worry. He is just a second-generation player. Among the many opponents he has faced in the past, he is not on the same level. What's more, he only pinched him and it hurt for a day or two.
He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he won't be afraid of trouble. There really aren't many troubles that can scare him.
It was a good birthday party, but something like this happened. Wang Ying said apologetically: "Qianxi, I'm sorry, I celebrated your birthday but ended up like this."
Xiao Qianxi smiled and said, "What's the point? Besides, it's past twelve o'clock now. If you really count, my birthday has already passed."
He Xiaozhou suggested: "We have had a lot of fun today. I think everyone is almost done. When Yang Cheng comes back, we can all go back."
Xu Lin said: "But I can't go back to the dormitory at this point, so I can only stay in a hotel."
Zhou Chen and Wang Ying sat down next to each other. Wang Ying looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, it was all because of me."
Zhou Chen smiled and held her hand, intertwining their fingers.
"What does this have to do with you? He is not even my love rival. Let alone him. Even if there are ten more, I will still be beaten with one hand. But what touches me most is that you stood in front of me. It really gave me a huge sense of security.”
Wang Ying said in a chastising tone: "You're just being funny."
It took a long time before Yang Cheng came back. When he came back, he said to Wang Ying and Zhou Chen: "It's solved. It's not a big deal. But I'll pay for their expenses tonight. Just consider it as a way to repay the favor you gave me for signing my photo."
Although Zhou Chen didn't take it to heart, since Yang Cheng had come forward to solve it, he should still thank him. He picked up the wine glass and toasted Yang Cheng.
"Thank you. This glass of wine is for you."
