Chapter 170: Simp!

"Don't say that, we are just friends right now!"
Jiang Cheng's face was flushed with shyness.

You won't be feeling shy very soon; the cruelty of reality is about to hit naive fools like you with a heavy blow, Ye Tian thought to himself.

The two of them immediately took the elevator upstairs, moving along without any hindrance until they reached the upper-level office area.

"Zhao Qianqian is right in here," Ye Tian pointed at the massive office area where everyone was buried in their work, making it impossible to tell who was who at a glance.

"Brother Tian, you said Qianqian is in here, but how am I supposed to find her?" Jiang Cheng asked anxiously.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ye Tian pointed forward:

"Alright, take a left ahead, then a right, and walk straight. Go in and see her yourself."

Some realities had to be faced by himself.

Looking at the sign pointing toward the general manager's office, Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Then, gritting his teeth, he charged blindly ahead.

Ye Tian walked quietly behind, witnessing firsthand as Jiang Cheng burst into the general manager's office, followed immediately by a man's angry roar and a girl's scream.

Stepping through the door, a young woman wearing a high ponytail, a white blouse, and a tight black skirt was squatting beneath the desk with her mouth covered.

Sitting in front of the desk was a young man leisurely pulling up his pants.

"Ouyang Xiaotian, how dare you mess with my girl!"

Jiang Cheng pointed at the young man, letting out an angry roar, but the other party merely narrowed his eyes with an utterly indifferent expression.

"I must be having terrible luck," the young man said calmly. "I have no idea if those security guards are blind to let a total moron like you wander in here."

"Who are you calling a moron?"

"Calling you, aren't I? Isn't that obvious?"

After tidying himself up a bit, Ouyang Xiaotian stood up from behind the desk and looked at him defiantly.

"Listen carefully, Jiang Cheng."

"First, this isn't the living room of your Jiang family where you can come and go whenever you please."

"Second, this little bitch threw herself at me willingly, so stop biting at my heels."

"Third, you've ruined my mood, and now I'm going to have people beat you up!"

As his words fell, he slammed his hand down hard on a button on the desk. A shrill alarm sounded, and immediately after, a group of bodyguards in suits appeared, surrounding the two of them tightly.

"Take care of them."

At the command, the suited thugs sprang into action, surging toward the pair.

However, with a light snap of fingers, those dozen suited thugs collapsed simultaneously, lying unconscious on the ground.

A powerful pressure emanated from all around Ye Tian. Facing this pressure, Ouyang Xiaotian felt the world spinning before his eyes, as if the sky itself was about to collapse at any moment.

"Brother Tian, my legs have gone soft."

Jiang Cheng squatted on the ground, shouting out.

A martial artist's aura was essentially an indiscriminate attack. Although he wasn't facing Ye Tian directly, Jiang Cheng still felt dizzy, struggling just to maintain a basic standing posture.

"You really are useless!" Ye Tian said with annoyance, though he had already quietly reined in his aura.

"You—I don't care who you are, daring to break into my Ouyang family, I guarantee I'll make you pay dearly for this!"

Ouyang Xiaotian was both terrified and furious.

What kind of people were these?

He was right in the middle of enjoying a special service when suddenly this Jiang Cheng barged in with people, nearly scaring him impotent. And judging by the looks of it, they were even planning to silence him!

Was this any way to behave?

Besides, if they wanted to assign blame, why come after him?

He figured the girl had thrown herself at him willingly, even acting all seductive. He wasn't exactly a saint, and there was no reason to refuse meat delivered right to his doorstep.

"Shut up."

Ye Tian raised a hand, and the man's mouth immediately zipped shut as if sealed by an invisible zipper, locking tightly so he could no longer open it.

"You two talk it out slowly."

Ignoring Ouyang Xiaotian, whose face was flushed red with suppressed fury, Ye Tian pointed at the girl covering her mouth and said.

"What is there to talk about? I don't want to say anything." Zhao Qianqian shrunk further under the desk, tears welling in her eyes.

"You've seen everything there is to see. If you want to curse me out, go ahead."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Jiang Cheng, who had been boiling with rage a moment ago, instantly felt his heart soften. He quickly said, "Qianqian, you must have been forced into this, right? Tell me!"

"Don't worry, if you were threatened, just say so. With me here, Ouyang Xiaotian won't dare retaliate against you!"

"Heh, you still want to protect me?"

Spitting out the foul taste in her mouth, Zhao Qianqian let out a cold laugh.

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Compared to Manager Ouyang, is there a single way you can win against him?"

"I'll just spell it out for you: with a poor loser like you, even if I sewed myself up with a needle and thread, I'd never let you touch me!"

Her words were vicious, every single syllable a dagger to the heart.

Jiang Cheng stood frozen on the spot, his entire body rigid like a statue.

His world, his faith, had collapsed.

"Hah!"

Ye Tian sneered aloud.

This is what you call love in your eyes, young master. You're utterly stupid, foolish to the extreme!

"What are you laughing at? Associating with a guy like this, do you think you're any better?!"

Zhao Qianqian glared at Ye Tian with contempt, launching a ruthless attack without hesitation.

However, her aggression felt like nothing more than a gentle breeze to Ye Tian. It took just a single sentence from him to completely shatter her psychological defenses:

"I don't quite understand."

"Women with looks similar to yours—in Kyoto, if not one hundred thousand, there must be at least ten thousand."

"You lack a Kyoto household registration, and you lack a family background. What on earth makes you think that by selling your body, you can leap into their social circle?"

"None of your damn business!"

Zhao Qianqian's mentality exploded upon hearing this. She wanted to retort, but realized every word he said was grounded in logic. Among ordinary people, she certainly belonged to the pretty category, but she was nowhere near the tier of a great beauty.

Her only current advantage was her youth and innocence!

Yet this very advantage clearly appealed more to clients paying for pleasure.

Ye Tian shrugged.

"It's none of my business indeed, and I couldn't care less."

"I'm merely entrusted by someone else."

As these words fell, the office fell into a prolonged silence. It wasn't until an hour later that Jiang Cheng walked over to the sofa, sat down, buried his head in his hands, and began to sob with muffled grief.

"Why? Why did it end up like this?"

"Am I truly unworthy of having sincere love?"

Seemingly unable to stand the pathetic sight of him, Zhao Qianqian frowned in disdain. "Are you even a man? Seeing me do something like this, you don't even have the guts to curse me out twice, acting just like a pathetic lapdog!"

"Not a shred of masculinity!"

"A person like you—no matter how well you treated me, I'd still look down on you!"

So true!

Though he didn't voice his agreement externally, Ye Tian agreed with the girl's words wholeheartedly in his heart.

As a man, if you don't even have the courage to feel angry after being betrayed, what kind of man are you?

As for still licking someone's boots and acting submissively, that wasn't just cowardice—calling them an absolute fool would be putting it mildly.

Despite being friends, Ye Tian didn't think much of Jiang Cheng in his heart.

However, young people needed to grow, and he was waiting for the other party to mature.

"Hurry up. What are you going to do, or what do you have to say? Make it quick. I don't have the time to sit here and watch you make a fool of yourself!"
