I Swapped Bodies With a Female Celebrity - Chapter 55

Slap!

Qin Lang was enjoying the view outside the window when a drunk man suddenly stormed up to him and slammed his palm on the table.

Who the hell is this guy? Reeks of alcohol.

Qin Lang frowned, eyeing the man with irritation.

Hmm, don’t recognize him. Must be some drunk looking for trouble.

“Are you Qin Lang?” Wang Wenjie glared at him, his voice low and threatening.

“Qin Lang? No, I’m not. You must have the wrong person.”

Qin Lang’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly feigned surprise.

It wasn’t that he was afraid to admit it—he just had no idea who this guy was.

He knows my name? And he clearly isn’t here for a friendly chat.

If he admitted it now, who knew what kind of trouble might follow?

Besides, Qin Lang wasn’t in the mood to deal with drunks. Who knew what nonsense they might pull under the influence?

This was Riverside Hotel, not some cheap dive bar.

So… no matter how you look at it, this drunk has it out for me.

Since the guy wasn’t even sure of his identity, why should Qin Lang confirm it?

No need to invite trouble.

Hearing Qin Lang’s denial, Wang Wenjie, who had been fuming just seconds ago, froze.

Not Qin Lang? But he looks exactly like him!

Wang Wenjie had only seen Qin Lang’s photo, and with the alcohol clouding his mind, his thoughts were muddled.

“You’re not Qin Lang? How is that possible? You look just like him!”

Qin Lang smirked. “How should I know? You must’ve mistaken me for someone else. Got a grudge against this Qin Lang guy? Can’t even remember what he looks like?”

Grudge?

At that word, Wang Wenjie’s eyes turned red.

“Damn right I’ve got a grudge! The man stole my woman! If I ever see him, I’ll skin him alive!”

Qin Lang’s smile vanished.

What the hell?

He had been trying to fish for information, but this response left him completely baffled.

Stole his woman? I’ve been single my whole life!

The last time he’d even paired up with a girl was during a game of house in kindergarten…

This guy’s definitely got the wrong person.

“Wait!” Wang Wenjie suddenly narrowed his eyes. “There’s no way two people could look this alike. If you’re not Qin Lang, show me your ID!”

Qin Lang’s head throbbed.

I really am not the Qin Lang he’s talking about, but if I pull out my ID now, my earlier lie falls apart.

Besides… who the hell are you to demand my ID?

Do I look like a pushover?

“Don’t push your luck!” Qin Lang scowled. “I said I’m not him, and I don’t owe you any proof. And you—you’re the one disturbing me. You should be apologizing! Otherwise, I’m calling security.”

“HAHAHA! Did you hear that? This guy’s threatening to call security!”

“Look at his cheap-ass clothes. Probably dug them out of a dumpster, and he’s still got the nerve to bark at us?”

“Tsk tsk, Young Master Wang, you’re slipping. Can’t even keep your woman from getting stolen by some loser, and now you’re getting disrespected in public…”

The group of rich kids behind Wang Wenjie burst into laughter.

In the city of Yunjing, no one dared talk back to them—especially not some nobody dressed in rags!

Wang Wenjie’s face darkened.

“I told you to show me your ID, so just fucking cooperate! Stop wasting my time!”

He sneered. “You think Riverside Hotel’s security would dare kick us out? Don’t make me laugh!”

Qin Lang’s brow furrowed.

These guys… must be spoiled rich kids.

Did I forget to check my horoscope today? Why am I stuck dealing with these clowns?

“Qin Lang, what’s going on?”

Xiao Ruolin’s voice rang out from behind them, laced with confusion and surprise.

Wang Wenjie stiffened, then grabbed Qin Lang’s collar.

“You are Qin Lang! You lied to me!”

The realization that Qin Lang had tricked him sent a surge of rage through Wang Wenjie’s veins.

Qin Lang sighed inwardly.

Ruolin’s timing couldn’t be worse.

But it didn’t matter. Given these guys’ attitudes, they wouldn’t have backed down anyway.

He brushed Wang Wenjie’s hand away coolly.

“If you’ve got something to say, say it. Keep your hands to yourself, or I’ll sue you for harassment.”

Wang Wenjie looked like he was about to explode.

This Qin Lang is even more arrogant than I am! Who does this nobody think he is?

Just as he was about to throw a punch, Xiao Ruolin spoke again.

“Wang Wenjie? Is that you? What do you think you’re doing?”

Her tone started with shock but quickly turned razor-sharp.

Wang Wenjie shuddered, the alcohol in his system evaporating instantly as he turned to face her.

“R-Ruolin Jie? What are you doing here?”

He forced a strained smile.

Xiao Ruolin’s icy gaze swept over the group, and the once-boisterous rich kids suddenly stood as meekly as honor students.

“Well, well. I never would’ve guessed you all had the guts to gang up on my guest. Did you forget who I am?”

“Ruolin Jie, this is just a misunderstanding—”

“Yeah, yeah! We’d never dare disrespect your guest!”

“It’s all Wang Wenjie’s fault! We were just—”

Wang Wenjie wanted to cry.

You traitors!

Xiao Ruolin pinned him with a stare.

“Wang Wenjie, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

His mouth twitched. “I… It’s just…”

How the hell am I supposed to explain this?

That I lost to this loser? That the woman I love is his ex?

This is so humiliating.

“I think it’s a simple case of mistaken identity.”

To everyone’s surprise, Qin Lang spoke up calmly.

“Right! I mistook him for someone else!” Wang Wenjie jumped at the lifeline, though he had no idea why Qin Lang was helping him.

“Mistaken identity?” Xiao Ruolin’s voice was dangerously calm. “You didn’t act like it was a mistake earlier.”

She tilted her head. “Since you got it wrong, apologize to my friend.”

Apologize… to Qin Lang?

Wang Wenjie’s stomach churned with humiliation.

He was certain this was the same Qin Lang who had stolen Chen Xiyuan from him.

A young master like me, bowing to my rival?

Xiao Ruolin sighed. “Fine. I’ll just have a chat with Uncle Wang about this.”

“NO! Ruolin Jie, I’ll apologize! I’ll do it!”

Gritting his teeth, Wang Wenjie forced out the words.

“Qin Lang… I’m sorry. I was out of line.”
