Chapter 499: 443 kind-hearted and beautiful people
Spring and Autumn Plaza.
Jiang Chen walked with an erratic gait, and to the uninformed, he might be mistaken for an elderly man on his last legs.
"Beep..."
A horn sounded from behind.
Jiang Chen made way, but his slow movements, had they been on a busy street, would probably be seen as a blatant attempt at insurance fraud.
However, the car behind politely came to a stop.
It was a fiery red BMW M8.
Dazzlingly luxurious.
Jiang Chen turned his head to look and found the car somewhat familiar.
An unexpected encounter.
Or rather, an unexpected meeting.
A man and a car came to a face-off.
Finally, the door of the M8 opened.
The female driver got out.
Jiang Chen was surprised.
"When did you come back?" he asked.
"A couple of days ago."
The woman getting out of the car was wearing sunglasses, which couldn’t hide her stunning beauty, "You... are you injured?"
"No."
Jiang Chen shook his head awkwardly.
This M8 owner was none other than Pei Yunxi, whom Jiang Chen thought was still in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
Presumably, she hadn’t expected such a collision either.
But now that they had collided, it was naturally inappropriate to ignore him and drive away.
"Let me give you a ride," Pei Yunxi offered politely.
Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse, not even engaging in basic courtesy.
After all, they were already so familiar with each other; putting on an act would just be overly sentimental and false.
After getting into the car, Jiang Chen deliberately glanced at the favorability rating.
75.
He was quite close to success.
"Why didn’t you tell me when you got back?" he asked.
"You must be very busy now, and I’m only here to rest for a few days. I’ll have to leave soon," she replied.
That definitely sounded like a standard polite response.
Jiang Chen understood that her not telling him was certainly intentional.
"Going back to Yunnan and Guizhou?" he inquired.
"No."
Pei Yunxi, while driving, said, "The work there is almost done. Next, I’m going abroad. Director Fei has arranged a few events for me to increase my renown."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"How’s Director Shi doing now?"
Pei Yunxi turned to look at him.
"He’s currently receiving treatment in the Capital City. You don’t have to worry; the top experts in the country have been assembled. It’s just a matter of time before Director Shi wakes up."
"That’s good to hear."
Jiang Chen glanced at her, "You’ve gotten a tan."
Even those with naturally beautiful skin need to take care of themselves. Having spent a month or two in such tough conditions, it was inevitable to be affected.
Pei Yunxi neither agreed nor disagreed, bypassing the comment.
Although she had only been there once, Pei Yunxi seemed very familiar with the location of his golden house and stopped accurately at the doorstep.
"Come in and sit for a while?" Jiang Chen politely invited.
"No, that’s alright."
Pei Yunxi predictably refused.
Jiang Chen didn’t press the matter and was about to open the door to get out when Pei Yunxi called him again.
"This is for you."
Pei Yunxi opened the glove compartment and took out a bracelet.
"This is too kind of you, bringing gifts..."
Someone, it seemed, had been too presumptuous.
Before he could fully raise his smile, Pei Yunxi explained, "This was given to me by that Miao girl to pass on to you. She also had a message for you."
Regardless of whether Jiang Chen wished to hear it, she continued, "That girl said if one day she can’t find a suitable husband, she will come to East Sea to find you."
Jiang Chen’s expression suddenly stiffened.
The wild girl with small braided buns from the Moon God festival unconsciously came to mind.
"You took up this kind of messenger job?"
"I was a guest in their village for so long, when they ask you to do a small favor, can you refuse?"
Jiang Chen had no words to come back with, looking down at the warm wooden bracelet he had acquired and consoled himself, "It’s fine, she doesn’t know where I live anyway..."
"I told her."
Jiang Chen’s voice halted.
"You..."
The woman smiled faintly.
"East Sea is so big, if the young girl actually manages to find her way here, you wouldn’t want to see her get lost, would you?"
Truly kind-hearted and beautiful.
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile but didn’t know what to say next.
"Thank you so much."
"Don’t mention it."
Jiang Chen closed the car door.
The M8 started and soon drove away.
Jiang Chen looked at the inconspicuous bracelet in his hand, shook his head and sighed, but didn’t throw it away, pocketing it instead.
He turned around.
Opened the door.
Entered the villa.
He walked into the dining room, opened the fridge, took out a bottle of water and began to drink. However, suddenly from upstairs, a humming tune floated down.
"When I open my eyes to dream, tell me, what’s the use of bringing me home..."
Along with the humming, a girl wrapped only in a bath towel appeared, her beautiful legs, arms, bare shoulders, and attractive collarbones... all exposed.
Jiang Chen’s water bottle stopped mid-air.
The other person also seemed to have noticed. She must have just finished bathing, and as she was wiping her wet burgundy hair, she glanced downstairs subconsciously.
Eyes met.
The cool and tempting girl froze for a moment but surprisingly didn’t scream, nor did she show any shyness. Instead, she quickly put her finger to her lips and gestured for silence with urgency.
Afterward.
She pointed outside the house.
Though there was no verbal communication, comrade Jiang Chen downstairs seemed to understand instinctively, silently nodded, and took his water, stepped back out of the villa.
He took a stroll outside the villa, waiting for about ten minutes or so, before he walked back in again.
It was a good thing that Pei Yunxi had turned down his invitation earlier. If he had really gone in, it would have been quite the scene.
Jiang Chen opened the door, pretending he had just returned, and entered the villa for the second time.
"Ah!"
A sharp scream suddenly erupted, piercing the air.
"Pervert!"
A figure wrapped in a bath towel hurriedly ran upstairs, losing a slipper in the rush, in such a fluster she almost tumbled down the stairs.
Jiang Chen was astonished and looked at Xu Siyi, now dressed, with a questioning gaze.
Xu Siyi claimed innocence, "If I had let her get dressed, she would surely have been suspicious."
"..."
Jiang Chen was speechless.
"Why are you guys here?"
He approached.
The one who had just run upstairs was none other than the beautiful Zheng Jingjing.
"Jin Jin and I just finished teaching a class and came to take a shower. We’ve been staying here to keep Shu Rui company these last few days."
Xu Siyi explained succinctly.
As roommates and close friends, their coming here to hang out was not surprising. Moreover, with such a large villa, Li Shuru would inevitably feel lonely by herself.
"Didn’t Shu Rui say you went to Hancheng?"
Xu Siyi asked.
Although he had also practically gotten a feast for the eyes just now, compared to Zheng Jingjing, her reaction was undoubtedly much more composed.
Indeed.
No one could be blamed.
It was obviously a wonderful coincidence.
"Yes, I did go to Hancheng, and I’ve just come back."
Jiang Chen gave a wry smile, not embarrassed.
After all, he and Xu Siyi were quite familiar with each other.
"You’ve come back at quite the moment."
Xu Siyi said meaningfully, then asked, "Jin Jin’s figure, it’s pretty good, isn’t it?"
Jiang Chen composed himself, immediately responding with a serious tone, "I didn’t see anything."
"Telling me is useless. You should tell Jin Jin. If she goes to Shu Rui to complain later, it could be troublesome."
