An Angelic B*tch's Climb Up the Social Ladder - Chapter 25
Chap 25- Drugging Her
Now that she was discovered, Zhinan could only say hello generously, “What a coincidence.”
“Why are you here?” Tang Ziyu sarcastically, “Didn’t you say you can’t shoulder the consequences of having fun, always worrying about living expenses?
“Why are you at a party instead of staying at the hotel?”
He sneered, “The excuses you make to stop me are just endless.”
Big idiot, every time we meet you have to pick a fight.
Is this place owned by your relatives, and only you can come? Who do you think you are!
Internally, she greeted his ancestors of eighteen generations. Zhinan tried his best to reason with him, “Today’s a rest day, just–”
“Who is this?”
A lazy tone interrupted her.
Zhang Guyang, who was joking with Han Xing, was attracted by their conversation and couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
He and Tang Ziyu grew up wearing a pair of swimming trunks, and it could be said that they were roundworms in each other’s belly. His(TZY) tone clearly suppressed too much emotion, and it sounded off.
He approached while voicing aloud, “Mate, why don’t you introduce us?”
Zhinan turned around and met with a pair of eyes full of surprise, then the surprise faded away and he’s staring at her with fixed eyes.
She immediately lowered her eyes.
Zhang Guyang was still staring, his lazy expression slowly became interested, the scene of their eye contact still remained in his mind– like fresh beautiful flowers, her bright eyes were shining. With a slight blink of those fox’s eyes blinked slightly, he couldn’t help being stunned by her beauty.
Damn smoking hot!
He licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue, he was moved, but after meeting Tang Ziyu’s cold face filled with warning, he shrugged indifferently.
“Uh…you guys know each other?” It was Han Xing who broke the treacherous atmosphere.
Hearing her question, Zhinan had a headache.
If she’d known that they were from the same circle, there was no way she would have come today.
“We’ve met twice.” She told Han Xing, “I happened to have served him when he came to the hotel for a meal.”
These words clearly drew a line and explained the relationship between the two of them. Tang Ziyu’s thin lips were pressed into a line.
……
After a brief greeting, everyone took their seats. There were four to five long tables and everyone sat in a sparse and orderly manner. It was a sumptuous meal with seafood, seasonal vegetables, dessert, etc. There was also a five-star chef stir-frying seafood on the side– very extravagant indeed.
Han Xing originally thought that the duo(ZGY,TZY) would leave after giving her their birthday gifts. In the past, they detest such parties the most. Whoever thought they actually sat down opposite her, picking up the knife and fork in a decent manner.
She didn’t care too much and chatted away with Zhinan whilst eating.
Little did she know that Tang Ziyu who sat opposite, was staring at them, and his darkened eyes were about to bore a hole through them.
Seeing that the girl had obviously met his gaze, yet averted them as if he was air, his face darkened further. Clang, he kicked the stool in frustration.
“Is that her?” Zhang Guyang said suddenly.
Tang Ziyu turned his head and glanced at his eyes full of interest.
He said coldly, “No! Don’t make wild guesses.”
He fumbled in his pocket in a bid to light a cigarette. It’s only after a while had he remembered that it’s been a few days since he last smoked a cigarette. He could only give up searching.
Yeah right. Zhang Guyang scoffed.
Seems like my suspicions have been answered. No wonder, to have made him turn into such a mess, this girl indeed has enough capital to do so.
Zhang Guyang leaned back lazily and scanned Lin Zhinan across the long table.
Her long eyelashes were slightly lowered, her skin snowy white, and the alluring curvature of her neck, makes him want to unzip her clothes and have a look at the scenery inside.
Judging by his well-experienced gaze, this girl is probably still a v*rgin.
The e*stasy he had from their eye contact earlier was still fresh in his mind. Zhang Guyang’s tongue lined his teeth, feeling even more excited to make a move.
When the girl handed the gift to Han Xing, he picked up two glasses of red wine and walked towards them.
“Zhang Guyang!”
Tang Ziyu roared, got up, and followed him as he sensed something wrong.
Zhinan had just handed the gift to Han Xing when a careless sneer sounded from behind.
“What’s the gift? Open it and have a look.”
It was obvious that the man had ill intentions– she didn’t turn back.
However, he put an arm on her table and the other on her stool, as if to encircle her from behind.
A strong masculine aura enveloped her, Zhinan shifted aside uncomfortably, but he didn’t seem to take the hint, as his arm doesn’t have any inclination of moving away.
Zhinan directly turned away and faced Han Xing, moving her body as far away as possible.
Birds of the same feather truly flock together, as disgusting as Tang Ziyu, really want to just slap him on the face.
“Little XingXing, you can’t be so stingy.” He glanced at the girl’s pink earlobe and raised his chin to Han Xing, “Open it and let your Brother Zhang have a look.”
Han Xing, “Geez.”
“Tsk.” He squinted his eyes and warned. “Hurry up!”
Han Xing glanced at him in rebuke, knowing that this man had a strong temper, she opened the gift after obtaining Zhinan’s consent through eye contact.
In it lies a beautifully packaged memorial book, about Audrey Hepburn’s life and disks on her various movies.
From Han Xing’s reaction when they watched previously, Zhinan had guessed that she likes Hepburn. She doesn’t have the means to gift expensive jewels and thus, chose the most meaningful one.
“XingXing, happy birthday to you,” Zhinan said sincerely as Han Xing looked at her with eyes that told how touched she was.
But the wet blanket next to them decided to speak up, “That’s all?”
“…” Idiot.
Han Xing immediately rolled her eyes and said to Zhinan, “NanNan, thank you, I like it a lot. Just ignore him, he has a foul mouth.”
After covering the gift box, she fiddled with it affectionately. She really liked it.
Zhang Guyang doesn’t get what’s the deal, and said, “Well shouldn’t you at least make a toast.”
He put the wine glass “smack” in front of Zhinan, his intention was self-evident.
“Zhang Guyang, what the heck is wrong with you?” Tang Ziyu on the side immediately raged.
“What can I do?” Zhang Guyang was amused. “Isn’t it normal to toast to the birthday girl at a birthday party?”
He picked up another glass of wine and toasted Han Xing, “Little XingXing, gege wishes you a happy birthday, may you be beautiful and cute forever.”
He gulped it down in one go then tapped his empty cup on the table, “Your turn!”
Zhi Nan raised her eyelids slightly, the eyes staring at her were screaming out ‘bad intentions’, while Tang Ziyu behind him had lips that were pressed into a thin line as if he was tolerating and as if waiting for her to beg him for help.
“Zhang Guyang, are you drunk?” Han Xing glared, “Why are you putting Nannan on the spot?”
“Please, elder sister, how is drinking a glass of wine putting her on the spot.”
“Anyway, you—”
“XingXing.” Zhinan shook her head towards Han Xing.
She didn’t even take a single glance at the wine glass given by Zhang Guyang, and picked up her glass of red wine behind his arm.
One-third of the cup was filled, it’s sufficient so she didn’t pour more.
If this wet blanket doesn’t get lost soon, she’s afraid he’d make a din. The people at nearby tables are already looking over and she really doesn’t want to cause trouble on every occasion she attends.
“Happy birthday to you, XingXing.” Han Xing and her clinked their glasses gently and took a few mouthfuls.
The corners of Zhang Guyang’s mouth upturned into a meaningful arc the moment he saw her swallowing motion.

“What are you trying to do?”
At the balcony on the second floor, Tang Ziyu asked him with a stern face, “Don’t tell me you did all these just to get her to have a drink.”
Under his cold gaze, Zhang Guyang slowly took out a small glass tube from his pocket– that is now emptied of its contents.
He held it between his fingers and shook it slowly.
“I’d originally planned to go back tonight and have some fun with my little influencer, but now I have used it on her.”
Tang Ziyu’s face turned one-eighty, “You’re a effing lunatic, who gave you permission to touch her!”
He grabbed Zhang Guyang by the collar and punched him on the face ‘wham’
But he found it insufficient to quench his anger, so he slammed him onto the wall with another fist.
Unexpectedly, the latter just leaned against the wall, licked his cheek with his tongue, and laughed instead.
“Don’t tell me, you don’t want to f*c her.”
This question stunned Tang Ziyu in place.
I want to, how could I not, even if it’s just in my dreams, I want to push her into bed and f*c.
Tang Ziyu’s life had been smooth sailing, always having to get whatever he wanted– until he met Lin Zhinan.
She was like an unexpectedly spring rain, just cool and refreshing in the beginning, but yet once it’s over, he couldn’t stop himself from missing the smell of it.
She is beautiful, sober, and hardworking, she even unreservedly exposed that indignation of hers to him.
If she obediently snuggled into his arms, for six months or a year, Tang Ziyu wasn’t sure if she would be so memorable.
But the only certainty is that she would not even give him such an opportunity.
There was only one word left for him, which became the Five Finger Mountain that suppressed him, and he always silently reminded him when he dreamed back in the middle of the night.
——How much of a good-for-nothing he is.
[T/N: Five Finger Mountain here is in reference to the monkey king of Journey to the West]
In refusal to accept things as it is, Tang Ziyu raged and in replacement, came a strong desire to conquer her.
One day, he will get her to surrender voluntarily under him.
But not this way…
“Aren’t all women the same?” Seeing his hesitation, Zhang Guyang smiled, “They’ll be honest after a few f*cs. No way she’d run once you’ve had her.”
He paused and asked, “Are you doing it or not, or should I do it for you?”
[T/N: This is all for this week, I’ll see if I can translate more next week but there’ll definitely be at least 2 chaps a week. Have a great weekend ahead!]
