Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Chapter 216 – 216 Playboy

216 Playboy

Xiang Cheng was in a foul mood after being stood up by Jiang Xue. “How dare you, Jiang Xue! You were the one who begged me to ask you out,” he shouted.

Jiang Xue could hear how angry Xiang Cheng was and hurriedly explained, “Brother Cheng, I value this date too much; that’s why I can’t see you tonight. I know you were planning to introduce me to your good friends and maybe some of your family, but I can’t see them today. I’m not sure what happened, but I had an allergic reaction, causing my face to swell. I’m afraid I’d embarrass you if I went like this.”

Jiang Xue’s words spilled out in a torrent as she tried her best to appease Xiang Cheng. She picked the words she knew Xiang Cheng would accept. “Brother Cheng, you know how much I love and care about you. I can’t bear to see you suffer even the slightest bit of unhappiness.”

Those words were enough for much of Xiang Cheng’s anger to subside. He was quite satisfied with Jiang Xue’s straightforward expression of her feelings. After all, he knew how popular he was.

Jiang Xue was right. If he were to take Jiang Xue out on a date with her face swollen and full of rashes, he would look bad.

Jiang Xue was relieved to hear that Xiang Cheng was no longer angry.

After stroking Xiang Cheng’s ego for a while more, Jiang Xue hung up and left the changing room with Liu Cheng.

Once the two of them left, Li Jin, who had hidden in the corner, slowly crept out.

The conflict between Shen Xi, Jiang Xue, and the others came too suddenly. Li Jin did not have the time to avoid it, so she hid in a cubicle, weathering the storm. She had a clear goal in transferring to Class 2 – she wanted to follow her heart. She did not want to get involved in anything else.

Li Jin washed her hands and changed out of her sportswear before returning to the dormitory. She still had to find Zhao Yuan and borrow her notes. The teachers of Class 2 and Class 8 were very different, so the learning materials they received and the notes they possessed were not the same.

Since she had chosen to transfer to Class 2, Li Jin did not want to fall behind.

Xiang Cheng’s thoughts suddenly turned to Shen Xi as he hung up the phone on Jiang Xue. Shen Xi’s rejections still haunted him, and it made him uncomfortable.

His original plan had been to ask Shen Xi out, but that fell through. He and Shen Xi would have made a good couple – more so than he and Jiang Xue.

When Shen Xi stood him up on his birthday, his good friends laughed at him till the cows came home. He had wanted to tease Shen Xi this time to get back at her.

However, he did not expect Shen Xi to reject him. Ultimately, he had to settle for the second-best, Jiang Xue. Xiang Cheng thought, why not? At least this way, he and Jiang Xue each got what they wanted: he got a date, while Jiang Xue got to spend a night with him.

Xiang Cheng had planned to visit his friends first, then find a hotel to have fun with Jiang Xue, fulfilling her earnest desire to spend time with him. Now, it seemed he would need to find another partner for the night.

Xiang Cheng dialed his assistant’s phone while leisurely drinking his coffee. “Arrange two new ones for me tonight,” he said.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Xiang Cheng sat up and asked, “Didn’t the company invest in a new entertainment company recently? I remember something about a pop group that’s been gaining traction recently.”

Xiang Cheng’s assistant felt his scalp tighten. Xiang Cheng might not care much about the company’s businesses, but when it came to the entertainment industry, he was as sensitive as a cat stalking a mouse. The assistant knew, on good standing, that Xiang Cheng had ‘played’ with many artists from the entertainment company he had previously worked in.

The assistant sighed. Although he knew it was futile to try persuading this overbearing playboy, Xiang Cheng, he still thought he should say something. “Yes, but…”

“Just those two. Send them to the usual place at nine this evening,” Xiang Cheng interrupted his assistant.

“But the chairman said you shouldn’t touch the newbies we’re promoting,” Xiang Cheng’s assistant forced the words out.

“What’s wrong?” Xiang Cheng said with dissatisfaction. Are you using my father against me? Although my father gives you your salary, you should know that I’m the only son of the Xiang Group. The Xiang Group is as good as mine! You’d better learn how to speak to your betters.”

“Yes, I’ll make the arrangements now,” The assistant said helplessly.

Jiang Xue and Liu Cheng went to the infirmary to have their injuries treated. The two of them stepped out of the infirmary, relieved that there would be no lasting harm.

Li Jin, who had just transferred to Class 2, was reassigned to her new dormitory.

Jiang Xue blamed Shen Xi for ruining her date with Xiang Cheng. She pointed Liu Cheng in Shen Xi’s direction, and together, they stewed in a fury over the injustice they had to swallow.

Liu Cheng, in particular, hated Shen Xi to the core. If it weren’t for her, she and Jiang Xue would not have sustained those injuries to their faces. If Jiang Xue had not been injured, she could have gone on Xiang Cheng’s date with Jiang Xue. Perhaps she would have found a boyfriend from a good family already!
