After the succubus became a fake young master that everyone disliked - Chapter 23

Mu Jingshan: “What kind of company would give its employees such luxurious accommodation?”

Sitting on the sofa, Chi Jing leisurely held the remote control, selecting films.

Hearing Mu Jingshan’s question, he shrugged. “Isn’t this place nice?”

Mu Jingshan: “It’s exactly because it’s too nice!!!”

Chi Jing understood. “You’re saying they might have ulterior motives?”

His straightforwardness made Mu Jingshan somewhat embarrassed.

“I… didn’t mean it that way. What I’m saying is, you might want to be a bit cautious—”

“But I’m so good-looking. If he likes me, it’s only natural.”

Mu Jingshan gaped in surprise, while Chi Jing continued to relax on the sofa.

“You know?”

“Know what?”

“That Jiang Yucheng might be trying to use you.”

“Use me?” Chi Jing frowned in confusion, then set down the remote and started searching for the term on his phone.

Mu Jingshan hurriedly snatched his phone away. “How can you be so clueless? It means he might find you attractive and want to, you know…”

Feeling embarrassed, he didn’t say the explicit word. 

But Chi Jing understood now. 

He raised his eyebrow with an implied meaning: “Oh, I see.”

Mu Jingshan: “You didn’t consider this possibility?”

“No,” Chi Jing said, “it’s not a big deal.”

Mu Jingshan: “Huh???”

Chi Jing: “He’s good-looking, and of course, it’s acceptable for me to sleep with him.”

His statement was so serious that Mu Jingshan nearly thought he misheard.

He stared at him in astonishment. “What did you say?”

“If you have hearing problems, go to the hospital,” Chi Jing said, pulling his gaze from him, and not bothering to find a film, went upstairs.

His belongings were all placed in the master bedroom, the room he had set his eyes on immediately.

In the southeast corner, the view outside the window featured unknown flowering trees in the community’s green space, which dropped white petals all over the ground with the wind.

The room’s aesthetics fit his taste perfectly, so he immediately decided to sleep in this room.

Mu Jingshan was left alone in the living room, unsure whether to reflect on his hearing or rethink his outdated mindset.

How could he not keep up with Chi Jing’s thoughts?

The next day was another sunny day.

Chi Jing went downstairs in slippers to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, he saw a pair of panda eyes.

“Did you go robbing last night?” Looking at his agent with dark circles under his eyes, he was puzzled.

Mu Jingshan angrily shoved a cat bag containing three cats into his arms.

Chi Jing immediately turned around to play with the cats.

Mu Jingshan, even more furious, carried the cat litter box, cat food, and other items inside.

Although Chi Jing had just moved in, the house was well-furnished and didn’t feel empty.

It was clear that preparations had been made in advance.

He paused his actions for a moment, putting down the cat litter box and other items, and began to seriously advise Chi Jing.

“Chi Jing, I have something to say.”

Chi Jing opened the cat bag, took out the three-color cat, and then placed another kitten on the floor. Watching them explore the new environment without fear, he casually nodded.

“Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Mu Jingshan cleared his throat. “You know, the entertainment industry involves a lot of transactional relationships.”

“But those transactions aren’t beneficial for long-term development…”

“Wait.” Chi Jing, who had been playing with a cat toy, finally understood his concerns from his indirect words.

“Are you worried that I might sell my body for benefits?” He looked incredulously at him.

“…” Mu Jingshan wished he could be more tactful. “That’s about the gist, but—”

“It’s impossible.” He firmly denied this possibility.

He brushed his bangs away from his forehead and snorted lightly. “I’m willing to sleep with Jiang Yucheng only because he’s good-looking.”

“Anyone else, don’t even think about it.”

Mu Jingshan: ???

Is this what it means!!!

Although he didn’t quite understand Chi Jing’s thought process, he realized that he only accepted Jiang Yucheng’s advances because of his attractiveness.

It sounded like he regarded Jiang Yucheng’s actions as just courtship before a relationship.

Hiss!

He was shocked and realized this theory might fit Jiang Yucheng’s behavior.

Could it be that he was just pursuing Chi Jing?

Mu Jingshan was in a dilemma.

Chi Jing stretched lazily.

Wearing a white T-shirt with letters, the shirt rolled up slightly as he stretched, revealing an alluring waist.

“Alright, do you want breakfast? I can order some.”

Mu Jingshan came back to his senses and shook his head.

“The company found out about your meeting with General Manager Yang and has been calling me frantically, accusing me of bypassing the company for collaboration. I need to handle that.”

Within a day, he had become proficient at referring to Yang Qianhu as General Manager Yang.

As for the company he mentioned, it referred to Longhuang Entertainment.

“Okay then.” Chi Jing was just asking; he didn’t have much desire for breakfast. He only felt Mu Jingshan should have some acknowledgment for bringing the cats so early in the morning.

Since he refused his offer, he didn’t insist.

“I’ll go back to sleep for now.”

After Mu Jingshan left, Chi Jing refilled the cat food and water, then went back to his room to continue sleeping.

He slept soundly until noon.

After having lunch, he sat by the living room window, playing with the kittens using a cat toy. When the kittens got tired, he leaned by the window and browsed his phone.

Mainly, he was looking for gossip.

When he opened Weibo, he found that the fans of Lou Yiwen and Ou’er Bai were at it again.

He took a closer look and saw that both of them had simultaneously announced endorsements for two rival luxury brands. Fans of each side felt that the simultaneous announcement was meant to provoke their side, leading to an argument.

He enjoyed watching the drama, and after finishing, he eagerly shared it with the two parties involved.

[Chi Jing: Wow, you two sisters are really destined, announcing endorsements on the same day.]

[Lou Yiwen: ……]

[Ou’er Bai: ……]

Both responded with similar comments.

[Lou Yiwen: She must be doing it on purpose! Out of 365 days, she chose to announce on the same day as me!]

[Ou’er Bai: Lou Yiwen must have done it on purpose! Choosing to promote the same type of product on the same day is outrageous!]

Chi Jing sometimes felt that their mutual understanding and coincidence were real.

He created a discussion group for the two, playing both judge and audience.

[Chi Jing: First, let’s hear from the representative of the affirmative side—@Lou Yiwen]

[Ou’er Bai: Why is she the affirmative representative?]

[Chi Jing: By alphabetical order.]

[Lou Yiwen: Haha, Ou’er Bai, are you secretly in love with me? Choosing the same day for announcements and the same type of endorsement.]

[Chi Jing: Now, let’s hear from the representative of the opposing side.]

[Ou’er Bai: Don’t flatter yourself. I say it’s you doing it on purpose, trying to ride on my popularity.]

[Lou Yiwen: Please, you don’t feel embarrassed saying that? I have ten thousand more Weibo followers than you.]

[Ou’er Bai: Followers on Weibo? I’ll have the company buy me twenty thousand followers, believe it or not.]

[Lou Yiwen: Screenshot saved.]

[Ou’er Bai: Don’t go too far!!!]

[Chi Jing: Now, the judge will give a summary—]

[Chi Jing: Have you considered that maybe your companies discussed this and decided to announce on the same day? This way, fans argue without costing a penny and easily trend on social media.]

[Chi Jing: Summary concluded, meeting adjourned!]

He enjoyed the game, and neither Ou’er Bai nor Lou Yiwen were genuinely arguing.

Seeing he was enjoying the spectacle, they turned their attention to him.

He quickly redirected the attention to the CP fans of Shen Yixing and An Boqing, sharing it in the group chat.

Soon, the three began to enthusiastically ship the couple.

While Chi Jing slept peacefully, Mu Jingshan and Longhuang Entertainment were uneasy, and Tang Shen, who received his information, was even more restless.

In a hotel presidential suite, Chen Guangji placed the printed information he had painstakingly collected in front of him.

“Didn’t expect that the fake heir situation would occur in real life,” he said, his pink hair shaking slightly as he spoke.

“But with such parents, it’s better not to be biological. Less brainwashing through blood ties.”

Tang Shen frowned as he reviewed all the information. “Not biological?”

“Yes,” Chen Guangji nodded, “and strangely, it seems like his personality has changed a lot recently. No wonder I didn’t recognize him when I first met him.”

The information included a few photos of Chi Jing from high school and college.

Chen Guangji: “He seems to have become more attractive. His features haven’t changed, but he looks much better now.”

Tang Shen flipped through the photos several times, his speculations constantly rising and being dismissed.

“Why are you suddenly interested in him?”

Tang Shen rubbed his brow. “It’s nothing. He just resembles someone I know.”

“Well, he looks a bit like you, boss.” Chen Guangji didn’t know about Tang Shen’s family matters, but he thought Chi Jing and Tang Shen had some resemblance.

Tang Shen was momentarily dazed by this comment.

According to his father, his younger brother should have recently entered this world. However, Chi Jing had a complete 22-year life history.

He wasn’t sure if his father’s magic would have any bugs. Given his dad’s absent-minded nature, anything was possible.

“Alright.” He collected the information without showing any emotion. “Are you busy with anything else?”

“Not at all. I’m going to a bar party tonight,” Chen Guangji stood up. “I’m leaving now, boss. Call me if you need anything.”

“Okay.”

After seeing Chen Guangji off, Tang Shen dialed a number to Country F.

But the call was not answered by Chi Yu.

A low, hoarse voice answered, which belonged to Tang Zhengqing.

“What’s up?”

“Dad,” he asked directly, “is Dad with you?”

Tang Zhengqing didn’t answer immediately. On the other end of the phone, there were some rustling noises and the sounds of affectionate conversation between two people.

After a while, the voice of Chi Yu came through.

“How can I help you, Shen?”

Tang Shen switched hands to hold the phone. “Dad, are you sure my younger brother arrived in the human world recently?”

“Um.” Chi Yu thought for a moment and said, “He should have, but it’s possible he came earlier or later. This is my first time using such a forbidden spell.”

“…” Tang Shen took a deep breath. “Dad, I’ll send you some information. Please review it.”

Chi Yu responded casually, “Alright.”

When the call ended, Tang Shen heard his father’s low voice murmuring about him.

“Why must you call so early in the morning with these things?”

“It’s about Jing.”

“What did he say?”

“Just some information, don’t hold it so tightly. I’ll take a look…”

The latter part of the conversation was unclear, but he was accustomed to his fathers interactions and was not surprised.

He sent the document photos, starting with Chi Jing’s life photos, followed by the textual information.

Before all the photos were uploaded, Chi Yu’s call appeared on the screen.

Tang Shen’s eyelid twitched as he had a hunch.

When he answered the call, he heard his surprised voice.

“You found Jing?”
