After getting engaged, that scumbag actually cheated on me?

Am I really that bad?

As soon as Xiao Cheng finished saying this, Shen Lan immediately took two steps back, her eyes wary. "Mr. Xiao, please don't be joking. With your looks and status, you can have any woman you want. Why are you teasing me? Besides, this is a matter between me and Lu Yunfan. Please don't interfere." The place where the two of them were standing was relatively secluded, but Xiao Cheng was the center of attention wherever he went. Shen Lan didn't want to be noticed while standing next to him. She glanced at the slap mark on Xiao Cheng's left face and said in a low voice, "You'd better cover up the mark on your face. Otherwise, if others see it, who knows what rumors will spread."

After saying that, Shen Lan turned around and ran away. Her attitude of avoiding him like the plague made Xiao Cheng's face darken instantly. "Liu Lin, am I really that bad?" Liu Lin stood behind him and said quietly, "Your reputation outside is indeed quite bad."

Xiao Cheng's headache attacks from time to time. He has a violent temper, shows no mercy to his relatives, and is known for being cold and ruthless in City J. If a tyrant suddenly shows kindness, anyone would think he has ulterior motives. No wonder Miss Shen was so scared.

Liu Lin took out a powder compact from his pocket and handed it over. "Mr. Xiao, do you want to cover up the slap mark on your face?" Xiao Cheng glanced at the small box in his hand with a strange look in his eyes. "You carry this thing with you?"

"This is a gift I prepared for my girlfriend." Liu Lin had a blissful and silly look on his face that seemed to say, "You're a single dog, you wouldn't understand," which made Xiao Cheng feel annoyed.

Sensing the right moment, Liu Lin moved the powder compact in his hand forward a little more. "Mr. Xiao, Miss Shen has a hard time living in the Lu family. You don't want to cause trouble for her, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng sneered and his eyes were bold. "Do I look like someone who is kind-hearted and considerate of others?" Liu Lin was taken aback. Indeed, he wasn't. This master was already doing well if he didn't create trouble.

He was about to put the powder compact back when a big hand with distinct knuckles suddenly appeared in front of him. "Give it to me." Liu Lin smiled and quickly handed over the powder compact.

Xiao Cheng haphazardly covered up the mark on his face, threw the powder compact back to him, took out his phone, and transferred a sum of money to Liu Lin. Looking at the long string of zeros, Liu Lin's face beamed with joy. "I told you those rumors outside were wrong. Mr. Xiao is clearly kind and generous. I don't know who spread such nonsense."

"Shut up." Xiao Cheng's ears turned slightly red. He looked at Shen Lan's back and pursed his lips. Just a few words from Lu Yunfan had made her eyes red from crying. If she was affected because of the mark on his face, who knew how much she would cry. She already looked ugly like this, and she would surely look even uglier when crying.

"Brother Xiao Cheng." A cheerful voice came. Xiao Cheng couldn't help but frown. He just felt the tone was sharp and harsh. He turned his head and saw Lu Yunqing running over, lifting up her skirt. Her skin was fair and her dress was pink, making her look innocent and naive.

However, in Xiao Cheng's mind, he couldn't help but think of Shen Lan. At the same age, she lived a cautious life, like a rotten piece of wood full of holes, exuding a sense of loneliness and sadness all over. This was the big difference between a biological child and a foster child.

Xiao Cheng's eyes were sharp and cold, and his gaze was fierce. "When did Miss Lu change her surname? I don't remember having a sister like you." Lu Yunqing's smile froze, and she awkwardly changed her address. "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao."

The smell on her was too sweet and greasy, and it made him feel a headache just by smelling it. Xiao Cheng nodded perfunctorily, and directly left with Liu Lin, not giving her any chance to get close at all. His disgust was obvious.

Lu Yunqing stamped her foot in annoyance and turned to Tao Lan. "Mom, didn't you say he drank that glass of wine?" Tao Lan was also puzzled. "I saw him drink it with my own eyes. It shouldn't be like this."

That medicine was very potent. Even a tiny bit of it could make a person burn with lust. Xiao Cheng's situation was indeed not right.

"Don't worry. Mom will think of another way..." Lu Yunqing looked at Xiao Cheng's back with a look of obsession on her face. "Mom, I've decided on Xiao Cheng in this life. If I can't marry him, I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life!"

Tao Lan rubbed her temples in distress. There were plenty of people in City J who wanted to marry Xiao Cheng. But who didn't know that he was notoriously difficult to deal with, indifferent to women, and had a violent and unpredictable temper. Since this plan had failed and Xiao Cheng was on his guard, who knew when there would be another chance.

"Dear guests..." The voice of Father Lu came through the microphone and spread throughout the banquet hall. Tao Lan didn't care about Xiao Cheng anymore and quickly pulled her daughter over.

Lu Yunfan also grabbed Shen Lan's arm, creating an illusion of their love for the outsiders. "Let go of me!" Shen Lan scolded in a low voice and shook off his hand. Just thinking that these hands of Lu Yunfan had just been all over Zhou Xinran made her feel a wave of nausea in her stomach.

When Lu Yunfan saw that she had shaken off his hand, he was annoyed. This feeling was the same as the feeling he had when she had asked him to cancel the engagement just now, an indescribable irritability.

"Do you think I want to touch you? My dad is going to announce our engagement. You should know what to say and what not to say later, right?"

Shen Lan frowned. She had been so looking forward to this marriage before, but now she was extremely repulsed by it. But she had no other choice.

Forget it. Anyway, Lu Yunfan didn't really plan to marry her. It was like being bitten by a dog. Shen Lan numbly waited for Father Lu to announce the engagement.

"Today, I'm holding this banquet to announce two pieces of good news. First, Yunfan has recovered his health and is about to take over Lu Enterprises. My son is just starting out, so I hope you all will give him more support. Second, during Yunfan's illness, thanks to Shen Lan's careful care. Although the Shen family has declined, regarding this marriage, we..."

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?" A worried voice suddenly interrupted Father Lu's words. When the guests saw what was going on, there was an immediate uproar.

It was seen that Xiao Cheng fell to the ground with a pale face. He covered his stomach, furrowed his brows, and his expression looked extremely painful.
