The rebirth of lickspittle

After Zhang Fan confirmed the identity of the person responsible, a phone call was made to the legal department of Zhang Group.

"Hello? Is this Director Liu? I have a traffic incident case that I need you to personally handle. Yes, it's a personal matter, so I'm asking you to take care of it. Thank you." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan casually said, "Liu Boxin, PhD in law, with over three thousand cases under his belt. He's the head of the legal department at Zhang Group. You can look up how capable he is online. He will personally handle this matter with the two of you. As for whether we need to apologize to each other, you two can discuss it with him."

After finishing his words, Zhang Fan was about to leave. The two girls were stunned by the situation!

Liu Wen Shi was so scared that she immediately ran to Zhang Fan and grabbed his arm. She was much shorter than Zhang Fan, and her shoulder-length hair framed her delicate face, which looked youthful and tender. Her big eyes filled with pleading as she looked up at Zhang Fan, her voice soft and sweet: "Please, don't involve a lawyer! Please!"

Looking at her little lips moving, Zhang Fan felt a bit stirred. Damn, in his past life, as a super-rich heir, he couldn't even catch a single woman. To maintain his "good man" image, he rejected many women who pursued him. In the end, he realized that all that "good man" stuff was nonsense. His older brother, Lin Feng, had many women, and both Shen Chuchu and Liu Wen Shi had been involved with him without much resistance. Shen Chuchu even pretended to agree to marry him just to steal business secrets and hand them over to Lin Feng.

This time, Zhang Fan had already completely turned dark.

He licked his dry lips, smiled at Liu Wen Shi's delicate face, and asked, "So, do you still want Shen Chuchu to handle things for you?"

Liu Wen Shi shook her head quickly. Her thick, shoulder-length hair swayed back and forth. "No… no! I don't want her to handle it!"

"Then, how about we have a little chat, just the two of us?"

Liu Wen Shi nodded quickly, her big eyes still full of fear as she looked at him. Zhang Fan then turned to Shen Chuchu.

"Did you hear that? You're no longer involved here."

"You!" Shen Chuchu was furious. How dare Zhang Fan ignore her! "Shi Shi, don't be afraid! Don't listen to him! As long as I'm here, he wouldn't dare do anything to you!"

Zhang Fan coolly responded, "If you don't leave now, my legal department will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen Shi couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately urged, "Chuchu, why don't you leave first? Go walk around the campus a bit."

"You two!" Shen Chuchu grit her teeth. Seeing how they were conspiring together made her furious. She tossed her long hair in frustration, then grabbed her bicycle and stormed off. Before leaving, she muttered under her breath, "Zhang Fan, just wait and see. I'll make you regret this!"

Zhang Fan watched her retreating figure with narrowed eyes. In this life, everything would be repaid. The future was long, Shen Chuchu—just wait!

Zhang Fan made good on his promise, calling the legal department to inform them that they didn't need to come just yet. He'd first have a chat with Liu Wen Shi.

He opened the car door gentlemanly. "Get in."

Liu Wen Shi hesitated slightly, looking uneasy, but finally sat in the passenger seat. Zhang Fan got into the driver's seat and spoke first:

"Miss Shi Shi, I'm sure you don't want your parents to find out about this incident, right?"

Liu Wen Shi sat stiffly in the passenger seat, shrinking into herself. At the question, she quickly shook her head, signaling that she didn't want her parents to know.

"However, two thousand dollars is still a large sum, and it can't just be forgotten like that."

"I can! I can work to pay it off!" She immediately offered. "Don't worry, I'll work through college and I'll pay it all back."

She had just graduated high school and entered university, and her thoughts were still relatively simple. Unlike some girls in college who were already experienced in using various methods to extort money or run from their debts, Liu Wen Shi was a more innocent type.

"Four years?" Zhang Fan laughed lightly. "You might be able to wait, but I can't. Here's the thing: I have an offer that can make it so you don't have to repay the money at all."

Liu Wen Shi looked at him nervously. "What offer?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

The moment Zhang Fan asked, Liu Wen Shi's body froze. She looked at his handsome face, now wearing a wicked smile, and began to feel fearful.

"I… I have a boyfriend!" she stammered, "He's studying at Huayang University, and we've been dating for a year."

In reality, she didn't have a boyfriend. She had simply been pursued by a boy in high school, but when faced with Zhang Fan's threatening behavior, Liu Wen Shi instinctively lied.

To her surprise, Zhang Fan seemed even more interested.

"Then, if something happened between us, do you think your boyfriend would get angry?"

"Don't… don't joke about things like that!" Liu Wen Shi exclaimed.

"Hahaha, just saying it casually." Zhang Fan's tone was light.

Liu Wen Shi, still looking down, fell silent. She didn't think much about the boyfriend story, since Zhang Fan already knew that she and Shen Chuchu would both eventually fall for the same man—Lin Feng. They would even fight over him, though Lin Feng would eventually get them back together.

Zhang Fan knew this all too well. He had studied Lin Feng's relationships and understood the future dynamics between the two girls perfectly.

"Liu Wen Shi, you're quite cute, you know?"

Zhang Fan looked her up and down. She was indeed one of the "double beauties" of the design department, with a youthful appearance. Unlike Shen Chuchu's energetic look, Liu Wen Shi exuded an adorable charm, with smooth, fair skin, big, sparkling eyes, and especially soft, pink lips.

Feeling his gaze, Liu Wen Shi instinctively shrank back toward the car door.

"What… what do you want to do?"

The sound of the car door locking echoed in her ears.

Zhang Fan smiled. "I could let go of the compensation, but I'd like to know what your lip gloss tastes like."

"I… I don't use lip gloss!" she quickly responded.

"Then I'll have to taste it to find out." The fear in Liu Wen Shi was palpable now. She was a freshman, and until today, she was just an innocent high school graduate. She had received a lot of love letters in high school, but they were from shy boys who could barely speak to her.

She had never seen a man like Zhang Fan before. She had been lured into the car, and now the door was locked—he was going to take her first kiss.

Liu Wen Shi quickly protected herself with her hands. "No! No! I don't want to!"

Zhang Fan, no longer the naive man he once was, had darkened. He no longer believed in pure love. But he wasn't so low as to force himself on a woman.

What he wanted was for her to give in willingly, even if she was unwilling deep down.

Zhang Fan lit a cigarette and took a drag.

"You can decide. You can either pay me for the damages or let me have a kiss."

The smell of secondhand smoke made Liu Wen Shi cough.

The car was silent until Zhang Fan finished his cigarette.

Click.

The car door unlocked.

Zhang Fan flicked the cigarette butt out of the window. "Get out. My lawyer will be here this afternoon. I'm off to the university to register now."

"Don't!!" Liu Wen Shi was helpless as she stared at Zhang Fan coldly.

He responded, "My patience is limited."

Liu Wen Shi bit her lip, panting. She finally made a decision. "Can… can we just kiss on the cheek?"

Zhang Fan shrugged. "Sure."

Liu Wen Shi gathered her courage and timidly moved closer to Zhang Fan. In her mind, she told herself that a kiss on the cheek wouldn't count as her first kiss.

Just as she was about to touch his cheek, Zhang Fan suddenly turned his head, and their lips met.

"You! What are you doing?!"

Liu Wen Shi jerked back, as if shocked by electricity, and quickly wiped her lips.

No matter how much she wiped, it was too late. Her first kiss was gone. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Fan, watching her tearful expression, took out a piece of paper and wrote something down.

"Two thousand dollars for the damages. One kiss to reduce it by a thousand. You still owe me one thousand nine hundred. If you have no objections, please sign here."

The comfort was anything but. Liu Wen Shi, on the verge of tears, finally broke down and began crying. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Her first kiss had only reduced the amount by a thousand!

"You lied to me! You said my kiss would cancel the compensation!"

"It canceled a thousand. If you want it all gone, it'll take ten days of kisses." Zhang Fan shrugged.

"If you're unwilling, we'll just follow the legal process."

"No!!"

Her first kiss was already gone. If they went through the legal process, Liu Wen Shi would lose everything.

With no choice, Liu Wen Shi agreed. Zhang Fan led her to sign the documents, using a red pen to press her fingerprint on the first of twenty blank spaces. The rest remained empty.

Zhang Fan looked at the remaining nineteen blank spaces and smiled.

The life of revenge starts now!
