CHAPTER 275: CHAPTER 275: IT WAS ALL A SCAM

"Hanjue, drink less."

Zhan Hanjue went to Li Qingqing’s home and asked her to fetch him a bottle of wine to drown his sorrows.

Li Qingqing worriedly snatched his wine glass.

Zhan Hanjue angrily grabbed it back, "What, you don’t even want to let me drink a bit?"

"I don’t mind, Hanjue. You know I love you, I’m willing to give you whatever you want. But seeing you drink like this makes me really worried, it’s so damaging to your health, I’m just concerned about you."

"I don’t need your concern. Give me the wine, all I want right now is to drink." Zhan Hanjue insisted strongly.

"Fine, I’ll drink with you. If we’re going to get drunk, we’ll do it together." Li Qingqing grabbed the bottle from him, poured herself a glass, and drank it all in one go.

Zhan Hanjue stared at her in a daze, then quickly laughed, "Alright, drink together, get drunk together, drink until we forget everything."

Li Qingqing handled her liquor quite well; over the years in the entertainment industry, she had practiced a lot.

However, whether it was because the liquor was too strong today or it was just the atmosphere, she got drunk after a short while.

"What’s going on? How did I get drunk?" Li Qingqing shook her head.

Zhan Hanjue put his arm around her, "You’re not drunk, Li Qingqing. You know, I don’t like you. If it weren’t for the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, I wouldn’t have agreed to be with you."

"Hahaha, yes, the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui. I didn’t expect that just because of this thing, you would be willing to date me. Hanjue, but I really like you, what should I do? Whatever Li Qingqing wants, she’ll get, no matter what."

With that, Li Qingqing pushed Zhan Hanjue onto the sofa.

However, Zhan Hanjue blocked her.

"Want to kiss me?"

"Yes, Hanjue, I really like you," Li Qingqing pleaded pitifully.

"Give me the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, and you can kiss me," Zhan Hanjue tempted her.

Li Qingqing’s head felt a bit dizzy, and her thoughts were scrambled.

Even though she vaguely felt that she shouldn’t reveal the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui so soon,

she couldn’t resist Zhan Hanjue’s words because she really wanted to kiss him.

This desire almost overwhelmed her chest, surging within her, compelling her to do things she knew weren’t right.

Stumbling upstairs, Zhan Hanjue followed her.

Li Qingqing opened the safe.

She used her fingerprint and a password to unlock the safe’s door.

Just to be safe, she had even set two passwords.

"Let me show you, the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui."

Li Qingqing took out a transparent glass jar from inside, and inside it was indeed the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, still being cultivated.

Somehow, it was still able to grow inside.

Zhan Hanjue’s eyes lit up at the sight, and he quickly stepped forward to take it.

However, Li Qingqing stopped him, "No way, you can only look, I can’t give it to you now."

"But I want it now," said Zhan Hanjue.

Li Qingqing shook her head, "No, I can’t give it to you, Hanjue. Once we’re together, I’ll give you everything."

"But I want it now," Zhan Hanjue persisted.

Li Qingqing shook her head with a smile, "It won’t do you any good even if you take it, there’s a password on this glass box too, you can’t open it."

"Then will you tell me the password or not?"

Zhan Hanjue snatched the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, placed it to the side, and pulled her onto the bed, looking down at her.

His eyes were deep and filled with allure.

Li Qingqing was tempted, and she involuntarily lifted her head to kiss him.

However, Zhan Hanjue dodged, leaning close to her ear and asking in a low voice, "What’s the password?"

"Your birthday," Li Qingqing answered foolishly.

Zhan Hanjue smirked, suddenly pushed her away, and got off the bed.

"Hanjue, what’s wrong?"

Li Qingqing was pushed onto the bed, her head more dizzy, and she asked with a dazed expression.

Zhan Hanjue had already taken the glass box with the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui and was about to leave. Hearing her question, he laughed coldly, "Of course, I’m leaving. Thank you for the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui."

"Leaving? You can’t leave; you can’t take this with you." Li Qingqing finally realized what was happening, stumbled off the bed, and tried to stop Zhan Hanjue.

However, Zhan Hanjue had already stepped out.

She chased after him downstairs but found out that Zhan Hanjue wasn’t alone.

"Ye Ningwan? Why are you here too?" Li Qingqing rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.

Ye Ningwan smiled and said, "Miss Li, thank you for the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui."

"Someone, how did she get in, get her out of here now," Li Qingqing yelled angrily.

But none of her people came over.

She suddenly remembered that recently when she brought Zhan Hanjue back, he didn’t like having many people at her house.

So, except for the first couple of times when Zhan Hanjue visited and the house was full of people,

she started letting those people leave whenever Zhan Hanjue came over, seeing there was no issue.

"Wanwan, do you think it’s real?" Zhan Hanjue showed off as if presenting a treasure to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan glanced at it and said, "It’s real. In her state, she wouldn’t show anything fake."

"Zhan Hanjue, what do you mean?" Li Qingqing suddenly became half sober.

Ye Ningwan laughed and said, "Miss Li, thank you for the gift. Borrowing my husband for a few days in exchange for the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, you’re not losing out."

"So, you were deceiving me?" Li Qingqing finally reacted.

Ye Ningwan shrugged.

"Bitch."

Li Qingqing angrily raised her hand to hit Ye Ningwan.

However, Zhan Hanjue blocked her.

"Hanjue."

"Don’t call me that," Zhan Hanjue showed a look of disgust.

Li Qingqing said sorrowfully, "You weren’t like this before; you were..."

"You already said it, I was deceiving you before, so it was all an act back then."

Zhan Hanjue mercilessly pushed Li Qingqing away, and she collapsed to the ground.

"No, impossible, it can’t be an act. You guys argued, how could that be an act?"

Li Qingqing, sitting on the ground, refused to believe it and muttered to herself.

"Let’s go," Zhan Hanjue said to Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan nodded.

The two took the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui away.

Because Zhan Hanjue’s car frequently came and went from there, the security didn’t stop him.

Li Qingqing took a moment to clear her head, only then realizing she should call the gatehouse, asking them to stop Zhan Hanjue.

She was going to call the police.

Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan’s behavior was outright robbery.

Letting the security stop them, she could call the police to retrieve the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui.

However, when she called the gatehouse, the security guard said Zhan Hanjue and the others had left long ago.

"Why didn’t you stop them?" Li Qingqing hysterically questioned.

"Miss Li, they’re your frequent guests, we didn’t dare to stop them," the security guard answered nervously.

Li Qingqing’s phone fell to the ground.

She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.

But soon, she began to shriek hysterically, smashing things violently onto the ground around her.
