10 A Conflict Caused By An Old Flame

Translator: TNTG Editor: alteringviews

After Song Shi Cheng had put on the Love Life Calamity Pendant, he was sitting quietly on the bed waiting for the arrival his love live calamity. However, everything seemed too calm even after waiting for more than half a minute. He immediately realized he had made a mistake.

A love life calamity meant that there must first be the possibility of a romantic encounter before a calamity could happen. There was not even a female in his ward. How was he going to have a romantic encounter?

With that thought in mind, Song Shi Cheng got up off the bed and rushed out of the ward. He happened to meet a nurse outside and immediately asked her where Chen Guo Tao was.

"The chairman… I just saw him heading towards the office on the top floor," she said.

The nurse apparently knew who Song Shi Cheng was thus she didn't waste any time and answered him. He rushed off again after he got his answer. There were only four minutes left.

Maybe he should intentionally crash into Chen Yi Xian and defraud the hell out of her. After pressing the elevator button and planning to head to the top floor, a couple exited the elevator as he was attempting to enter it. The couple blocked Song Shi Cheng's path when they noticed it was him.

"Young Master Song, a patient shouldn't be running around. We happen to be here to visit you," the well-dressed young man said.

He laughed rather dramatically and asked, "I heard you suffered a head injury. Do you still remember this brother of yours?"

Song Shi Cheng frowned as he took a quick glance at the man and noticed his close resemblance to Chen Yi Xian. After the recent interaction with Chen Yi Xian, Song Shi Cheng quickly came up with who this key supporting character was. Chen Yi Zhu, Chen Guo Tao's son and also Chen Yi Xian's twin brother.

He was a character almost similar to the original Young Master Song, another typical playboy. His name sounded quite close to an impure proverb and anyone who met him would immediately associate him with the impure proverb.

Not only that, as his name implied, his hobby was womanizing. If you asked anyone within the social circle where he was, they would tell you he was either in the midst of womanizing or he was on his way to do so.

As for their relationship, he was one of his so-called-friends from within the Fuerdai circles. Both of them were also part of The Four Young Master of Hua Hai. Although their relationship seemed harmonious on the surface, the fact was that these young masters liked to compete on pretty much everything. These two had also quite frequently clashed and fought over female affection.

When Chen Yi Zhu was first introduced in the novel, he was fighting with the old Young Master Song over a female university student who had been drugged. The delay caused by the fight had given Ye Tian time to play the role of the prince saving the damsel in distress thus spoiling the two young master's good plan.

"Chen Yi Zhu, I'm not free to talk nonsense with you right now! Step aside!" Song Shi Cheng yelled.

He was currently in a hurry to enter the elevator.

"If there's nothing wrong with you, you should still remember this old flame of yours right?" Chen Yi Zhu said as he refused to let him pass and pushed the woman clinging on to him in front of Song Shi Cheng, "Jessica, why don't you greet your old flame?"

"You're horrible, Young Master Chen. Aren't you just embarrassing me here?" The woman said.

The alluring woman licked her lips in embarrassment as she fearfully took a few glances at Song Shi Cheng, "Young Master Song, you haven't paid me a visit in a very long time. I thought you had long forgotten about me. At the same time, Young Master Chen was pursuing me. So I… Sorry, please don't be mad at me."

Jessica… It seemed like I did write something about Young Master Song having a third or fourth tier actress as his girlfriend. He thought.

Chen Yi Zhu had actually dared to snatch his girlfriend away from him while he was hospitalized. Not only that, he had intentionally made a special trip here just to mock him as well. Song Shi Cheng was silently cursing the elite circle for being truly chaotic.

He couldn't help but lower his head to look at the Love Life Calamity Pendant on his chest. He couldn't help thinking that the item was way too effective. He had only worn it for a brief moment but it had already caused a romantic conflict.

When he realized the effect of the item would be diminishing soon, Song Shi Cheng was too lazy to entertain this old flame of his any further. He pushed this ex-girlfriend of his aside after saying 'I wish both of you happiness' and entered the elevator.

Chen Yi Zhu thought Song Shi Cheng would be furious after finding out he had been cuckolded. He had been left dumbfounded after hearing Song Shi Cheng's unnatural sentence. Thus, he immediately dragged Jessica back into the elevator the moment he regained his senses.

"Young Master Song, I know you're just trying to maintain your image but there are no outsiders here. Given that we are close buddies, why don't you let it all out? If you're still not satisfied, I can return Jessica to you. A woman is just clothes anyway!" Chen Yi Zhu said.

Chen Yi Zhu assumed that Song Shi Cheng was just feigning indifference. He continued to provoke Song Shi Cheng while ignoring the ugly expression on his own girlfriend's face. Since Chen Yi Zhu already had his fun with her, he only saw Jessica as a trophy he could brag about to others.

Song Shi Cheng was delighted by what he heard. It seemed this bunch of playboys were just a bunch of incompetent fools whose only purpose in life was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. They could only strive to outperform each other in such vices to satisfy their own vanity.

"Since you said that she's just clothes, go ahead and take it since you like it so much. I'm already tired of wearing it." Song Shi Cheng casually said. 

He pressed the button for the top floor. He only had two more minutes when he checked the time again. Given how casual Song Shi Cheng was when he answered him, he had managed to make Chen Yi Zhu extremely angry. He was almost foaming at the mouth because the words made him felt like his heart had been viciously stabbed a couple of times.

He had come to humiliate Song Shi Cheng yet the result was he had ended up being humiliated. If what happened here was to spread how could he still show his face within his social circle again? He was too clouded by fury and totally overlooked Song Shi Cheng's abnormal behavior. He shoved his trophy clothes aside.

He asked angrily, "Song Shi Cheng! What are you trying to say?"

"You want to quarrel? Why don't the two of us do it right in front of your dad?" Song Shi Cheng said without batting an eye.

Chen Yi Zhu restrained his anger when he realized the elevator was rising towards the top floor. He didn't have the courage to cause trouble in front of Chen Guo Tao. However, he went and blocked the elevator entrance when it opened because he just couldn't stomach the anger.

"Young Master Song, don't forget our circle's customs. The one who has his girlfriend snatched has to give the snatcher a prize. Why don't you tell me now what you're going to give me?" he said.

"Get lost!" Song Shi Cheng said.

He had truly wanted to punch this wastrel just to get rid of him. It was unfortunate that he had just recovered and Chen Yi Zhu had a massive frame. Both of them ended up in a deadlock.

"I think this pendant is pretty nice. Why don't you let me have it?" Chen Yi Zhu said.

He had noticed the Love Life Calamity Pendant on Song Shi Cheng's chest and reached out to grab it. Due to the quick spontaneity of Chen Yi Zhu actions, Song Shi Cheng was unable to react in time to stop him. He didn't bother to retrieve the pendant from Chen Yi Zhu when he saw there was only half a minute left until the pendant's effect was gone. There was no way he could find Chen Yi Xian in time and convince her to break the marriage.

"Young Master Song, I have actually done you a great favor here. Aren't you going to be marrying my sister soon? Although my sister won't interfere even knowing what's been going on, I, as your future brother-in-law had the obligation to eliminate any danger that might affect your marriage. It's best for you to curb your own lust in the future. If there are still a bevy of young girls surrounding you, I will have a duty to get rid of them as well," Chen Yi Zhu said.

After gaining a slight advantage, he couldn't resist pushing forward. It seemed like he had the intention to continue snatching Young Master Song's lovers in the future.

"Come here babe, this is a prize given by your old flame. You should take good care of it," Chen Yi Zhu said.

He happily tied the pendant on Jessica's neck. He had totally forgotten all the intentions he had to abandon this clothes of his without even hesitating just now.

"You look pretty wearing it. Aren't I right, Young Master Song?" he said.

"Yup, it's great that both of you like it," Song Shi Cheng said with a sneer. 

He planned to take the elevator back to his ward, but he couldn't help taking one last glance at the Love Life Calamity Pendant on his ex-girlfriend's neck.
