Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 421 Twins 2

Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Twins 2

Two months later, when Chu Yan came back again, he deliberately mentioned that he liked the Imperial City and wanted to spend more time at home.

Xiahou Xiu readily agreed.

He too wanted to stay a bit longer in the Provincial City.

So, that semester, the twin brothers almost spent their days switching places with each other.

And from that semester on, Xiahou Xiu also came to understand Yin Hehe’s situation.

Miss Yin from the Jiangbei Yin Family, as he had expected, did not come from a poor background.

However, she was living an exceptionally hard life, and he had seen her several times without even the money to eat. Later, it was him who secretly found excuses to buy things, claiming he couldn’t finish them all, or asking her to help eat with him.

Only then did she avoid going hungry.

"Hehe, I received a message on my side, saying that the bakery in the school is also hiring part-time workers, do you want to give it a try?"

That day, after Xiahou Xiu coaxed the girl into eating the food he had bought and sensed that the clever girl was harbouring suspicions, he simply took over the bakery in the school.

Yin Hehe, of course, had no idea, and was thrilled to hear about such a job opportunity.

Because of that bakery, Xiahou Xiu and Yin Hehe grew closer, and by the time Chu Yan realized it, the two had already established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

"Have you lost your mind? Dating that kind of girl, do you know who she is and who you are?"

When Chu Yan heard that his brother had actually taken a fancy to the humble Yin Hehe, he was immediately furious.

No one knew that in his eyes, for so many years, the Xiahou Family was always a source of his superiority.

Xiahou Xiu, on the other hand, never cared about such things.

"What’s wrong with status? Is the Xiahou Family that prestigious? Why can’t I date her? I’m telling you, as long as I like her, even if she comes from the countryside, I will marry no one but her!"

For the first time, Xiahou Xiu had a fierce conflict with his brother, and afterward, he left the Provincial City.

Chu Yan was fuming to the extreme.

So, the next day, he went to the school and angrily sought out Yin Hehe.

"Yin Hehe, I want to make it clear to you, there is nothing between us. I helped you just because I saw that your family was in a bad situation, you know?"

He bluntly clarified their relationship to the woman.

But to his surprise, after hearing his words, Yin Hehe looked at him with a very perplexing expression.

"Senior Chu, could you have misunderstood? We have only ever had a student relationship!"

She said coldly and turned to leave.

Chu Yan was left standing there, watching her retreating figure without reacting for a long time.

So, it was Xiahou Xiu who had misunderstood? There was never any romance between them, all his wishful thinking!

Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, he was hit with a wave of annoyance.

Because, pretending to be him, Xiahou Xiu had mentioned this woman saying she had never dated him. Wasn’t that the same as saying she didn’t fancy him, Chu Yan?

What was her status anyway?

To think she would look down on him!

From that day on, Chu Yan started to deliberately target Yin Hehe, he drove her out of the bakery, and the job at the library was also given to someone else.

He thought that by doing this, the woman would beg him for mercy.

But Yin Hehe had a rare pride. Without those jobs, she didn’t even ask once.

She just went out of the school and looked for work.

When Chu Yan saw her again, it was her bustling self at the dumpling restaurant at the school gate.

"Waitress, add some cilantro here."

"Waitress, I need some vinegar here, and another order of dumplings."

"..."

"Coming..."

At that moment, Yin Hehe was wearing the dumpling restaurant’s uniform, her black hair neatly tied behind her ears. She tirelessly bustled among the customers’ tables, the thin beads of sweat already covering her fair and pretty face.

Anyone with eyes could see her exhaustion.

Still, she maintained politeness with every customer, her voice soft and gentle when she complied.

Seeing this, Chu Yan suddenly didn’t know what had come over him, but that evening in the dumpling house, he didn’t call her over.

Latter, when he got back to school, he took the initiative to send a student to tell the girl that she could continue working in the library.

However, the student returned and told him that Yin Hehe had declined.

"Senior, Yin Hehe said she has already found a job, and the library work should be given to another student who needs it more," the student relayed.

"..."

For the first time, Chu Yan felt unsettled.

Was this woman holding a grudge? Was she deliberately giving him the cold shoulder?

He thought to himself, a cold laugh escaping his lips, and decided to find this woman himself the next day.

In his view, it was clear that Yin Hehe could not have truly liked Xiahou Xiu; her behavior was purely a ploy, a game of cat and mouse.

And indeed, the next day, Chu Yan found Yin Hehe.

"Yin Hehe, wouldn’t working at the library be better than here? If it’s about the last time I tried to clarify things, I can apologize to you," he said deliberately adopting an apologetic tone.

Regrettably, his effort was met with not even a flicker of her eyelids.

"Senior Chu, you misunderstand, I’m staying here because this dumpling shop pays better," she clarified.

"What did you say? The pay... is better?"

"Yes, if Senior Chu isn’t here to order, then I should attend to the other customers, sorry."

Then Yin Hehe turned and walked away.

Chu Yan, watching from behind, turned shades of pale and finally, shamefaced, had no choice but to leave.

From that day until Xiahou Xiu came to take his place again, he didn’t speak to Yin Hehe again.

And when Xiahou Xiu arrived and learned of the incident, he, in anger, landed a heavy punch on Chu Yan’s face for the first time!

"You’ve gone too far!" Xiahou Xiu bellowed.

Of course, Chu Yan was furious at being hit.

But when he tried to defend himself, he discovered he had nothing to say in his own defense.

After all, he felt guilty about the whole matter.

Xiahou Xiu took over for his brother at the school, and Chu Yan had no idea how he managed to win the girl over.

In any case, by the time they switched places again, Chu Yan found that Yin Hehe was willing to speak to him once more.

"How come you didn’t bring an umbrella today?"

It was a misty rain that day, and when Chu Yan saw her, she even went out of her way to show concern for him.

Chu Yan was somewhat taken aback.

"I... forgot," he said, as if possessed by a spirit.

As soon as the words were out, he saw the cool and detached girl hesitating for a moment before tilting her own umbrella halfway towards him.

"Then let’s walk together."

"Okay."

Chu Yan felt an indescribable joy.

Afterward, the two of them walked to the teaching building under the small umbrella together.

His cooperation that day was merely to avoid getting beaten by Xiahou Xiu again.

That was what Chu Yan thought...
