Chapter 821 Goddess in the Eyes of a Goddess
Diao Chan looked across from the [Shushi] shop, about 50 meters away. A young couple was holding hands and talking.
She herself is already quite tall, about 173cm. But the other woman looks to be around 178cm tall. Even though she is pregnant, her figure is still graceful and charming, and every move she makes is full of beauty.
Diao Chan recognized the man holding her hand at a glance—Chen Xiao!
The Chen Xiao she knew was different from the one Diao Chan knew. The Chen Xiao she knew, in his speech and actions, always acted like a "master." But now, he was focused on the woman's every move, his eyes overflowing with tenderness, as if this woman was his entire world!
"Hmph, I knew it! How could this guy be a loyal person?" Diao Chan thought to herself, recalling Ma Jian's introduction last night.
"Xiao Chan, Xiao Chan—", Sister Juan's words interrupted Diao Chan's thoughts.
"Sister Juan?"
"Xiao Chan, don't be sad. Nine out of ten men are philanderers. The other one isn't unwilling, but rather incompetent and useless!"
Diao Chan didn't bother to refute her meaning that "no man is any good," and said, "Why am I sad? What are you talking about?"
Sister Juan pulled her aside, saying, "Look at how sweet they are together, they're obviously a couple."
"I know, I'm not stupid!"
"and you."
"Sister Juan, what are you thinking? I'm just a nobody, what right do I have to think about such things?" Before Sister Juan could retort, she continued, "Besides, I'm happy for him."
Sister Juan looked at Diao Chan and found that when she said she was happy for Chen Xiao, she was incredibly sincere, and she couldn't understand it for a moment.
"I've always thought Chen Xiao was a good person. Shouldn't good people be rewarded?"
"Sister Juan, look how beautiful that girl is! She's exactly what I imagine a goddess to be. Isn't this Chen Xiao's greatest blessing? It's like God is looking after him. As his 'friend,' how can I not be happy for him?"
When she spoke of "friends," her voice was somewhat weak, as if she was wondering if she was worthy of being someone's friend.
Seemingly sensing that she was being watched, Zhao Xiangjun suddenly turned around, her gaze meeting Diao Chan's across the mall's atrium. Zhao Xiangjun was first surprised by the girl's beauty, and then her first reaction was to glance at Chen Xiao.
Zhao Xiangjun is an extremely intelligent woman; Chen Xiao described her as having a keen and insightful mind. She sees through many things very clearly, but she simply chooses not to say it!
Chen Xiao followed Zhao Xiangjun's gaze and saw it was Diao Chan. He was about to wave and greet her when Diao Chan immediately turned her back and walked in the opposite direction from Chen Xiao.
Startled, I asked, "What? Did I offend you?"
Then Chen Xiao understood. Diao Chan was definitely afraid of causing Zhao Xiangjun to misunderstand, which would affect her relationship with Xiangjun.
This woman really thinks a lot! He and Xiangjun never hide anything from each other.
After listening to Chen Xiao's detailed account of Diao Chan's situation, Zhao Xiangjun looked again in the direction where Diao Chan had disappeared: "When you asked me once if I had a younger sister, were you referring to her?"
It has to be said, women are incredibly perceptive. Chen Xiao nodded: "Her personality, even some of her catchphrases, are very similar to yours! For example—she often says 'I'm not good enough!'"
Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him.
"Yes, yes, and this little expression too."
Zhao Xiangjun was speechless. "I haven't said 'I'm not good enough' for a long time!"
That's true, which is why Chen Xiao felt a sense of closeness when Diao Chan kept saying "I'm not worthy." She also frequently said the same thing when he first met Xiang Jun.
“It’s an almost instinctive form of self-protection,” Zhao Xiangjun said softly.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Let's go, do you want to look at something else?"
"I'm not going shopping anymore, I'm a little tired." In her current condition, she can do some light exercise, but she can't get too tired.
"Didn't Chalan want to see you today? I'm going home soon, you need to talk about important business!"
"I haven't confirmed a time with him yet, spending time with my wife is more important!" Chen Xiao joked.
"Chen Xiao, can you stop being so hypocritical? Hmph!" She saw right through him. "I'm leaving, I'm going back to Xishan Linyu."
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Just as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Zhao Xiangjun's phone rang.
"It's probably Xu Jia—" Zhao Xiangjun has no more than 20 numbers saved in her phone, and Xu Jia is the one she contacts the most.
Picking up her phone, she saw it was indeed Xu Jia calling. As she accompanied Chen Xiao downstairs, she answered Xu Jia's call: "Xiangjun, I heard you arrived at [Junxiao City] today. Wait for me to have lunch together!"
Zhao Xiangjun covered the microphone with one hand, then said to Chen Xiao, "You go back first, I'll wait for Xu Jia here!"
Chen Xiao definitely wouldn't trust anyone else. Xu Jia, on the other hand, treats Zhao Xiangjun better than her own mother. Plus, Xiangjun is surrounded by top-tier guards, and has Yan Yue as her personal bodyguard—her security is even better than Chen Xiao's.
"Then I'll wait until she comes before I leave!"
"Go about your business, I'm not a child!"
After hesitating for a while, Chen Xiao finally left Junxiao City and went to Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center at Zhao Xiangjun's insistence.
Diao Chan fled from the second floor to the first floor as if escaping, a weight lifted from her heart. Hopefully, she hadn't caused Chen Xiao any trouble. His wife was so beautiful; she couldn't possibly cause any conflict between them.
"Xiao Chan, we've only just arrived, aren't we going back without looking around a bit?"
"I'm not shopping anymore, you guys go ahead, I'm going back first!" Diao Chan's attitude was firm. How could she possibly stay in Junxiao City at this point?
"Hey, hey—", Qianqian and the others called out but couldn't stop her, watching Diao Chan walk quickly outside!
"What's going on? Why is number 8 being so disrespectful?" Apart from Qianqian and Sister Juan, the others didn't recognize Chen Xiao and naturally didn't understand what had just happened.
"Let's go, let's go shopping by ourselves. We can't afford [Shushi], but we can check out [Samo]. It's not cheap either, but it's much cheaper than [Shushi]!"
"Yeah, let's go upstairs. Speaking of which, that client at number 8 was quite generous, more so than many big bosses. He just gave away a 6 or 7 yuan skin jacket like it was nothing!" "I guess that's what 'being generous when you're poor' means? I've heard that the poorer a person is, the more they like to act like they're rich. The richer they are, the more low-key they are!"
The group discussed it amongst themselves before going back upstairs.
On the highway in Jiangzhou, a Maybach S680 was being driven by a Mediterranean-looking old man in the back seat. It was Comrade Cha Lan!
At that moment, while looking at his phone, he urged the driver, "Hurry up, hurry up. So what if you're speeding!"
Just now, I received a message from President Chen, asking him to come pick him up at [Junxiaocheng].
Although he found it strange that Mr. Chen's car had gone, he dared not ask.
Chen Xiao did bring his car, but he left it with Zhao Xiangjun. Although Xu Jia also had a car, he insisted that Zhao Xiangjun ride in the armored Rolls-Royce Phantom!
Cha Lan drove very fast, covering a distance of 5 kilometers in just a few minutes, and arrived at Junxiao City.
The car was parked in the VIP parking area of Junxiaocheng's outer plaza. Before the driver could get out and open the door, Cha Lan pushed open the back door and ran quickly into Junxiaocheng!
Just as they were about to reach the gate of Junxiao City, they suddenly heard someone shout, "Old Cha, Old Cha!"
The voice sounded familiar. Cha Lan turned around and saw, oh my god, Nie Feng? The guy I had dinner with last night, Jiang Lili's boyfriend!
"Hey, Mr. Nie, you've got a good tolerance for alcohol, you're sober now!" he joked, continuing to run into the mall without stopping, afraid that Mr. Chen would get impatient!
"Hey, Lao Cha, Lao Cha!" Nie Feng blocked his way: "Why are you in such a hurry? I was just saying I wanted to thank you!"
Thank you, my foot! I'm furious. You were blocking my way, and you're thanking me?
"Are you interested in what I told you yesterday? Come work as a security guard at my company, and I'll offer you a monthly salary of 3 yuan, enough to retire here!"
Damn it, how can this guy be so shameless? Does he really enjoy giving away work?
"Move aside, I have something to do!" Cha Lan stepped aside. But Nie Feng blocked his way again. "What is it? I'll see if I can help, to repay a favor!"
Damn it, this guy isn't a bad guy, but he's more deserving of a beating than a bad guy!
Just then, a tall and beautiful woman walked out of Junxiao City's gate; it was Diao Chan.
Upon seeing Nie Feng and Cha Lan, he was taken aback for a moment, then greeted them: "President Cha, President Nie!"
She didn't call him "Old Cha" like Chen Xiao did, feeling it would be impolite, considering he was already over 50.
Upon seeing Diao Chan, Cha Lan instinctively assumed Chen Xiao was with her. He looked behind Diao Chan, a gesture that made her realize what was going on. "Are you looking for Chen Xiao? He's on the second floor!"
It turned out that President Chen hadn't come out yet, and Cha Lan became anxious again: He said to Nie Feng, "Get out of the way!"
Fearing she might run into Chen Xiao and the others again, Diao Chan greeted them and quickly left. She hadn't gone far when she suddenly heard someone call out to her, "Hi, Diao Chan, what a coincidence!"
Looking up, there was another bald head. It was Mr. Gao, the friend of the owner of [Tianchi Hot Spring] who had been beaten up by Ma Jian and Luffy!
He was accompanied by a burly young man, who seemed to have learned to hire bodyguards after being beaten up once!
"Mr. Gao—", Diao Chan greeted him perfunctorily, then turned to go to the roadside to hail a taxi.
However, Mr. Gao immediately blocked her way. "Don't rush, since you're already here, let's go inside and take a look. See if there's anything you like, I'll give it to you!"
Brother? Diao Chan almost threw up! Hearing that President Gao was going to give her something made her even more disgusted!
"Mr. Gao, I'm not even 60 yet, I wouldn't dare call you brother! As for gifts, forget it, I'm not worthy!"
Mr. Gao was dumbfounded. What did that mean? What did it mean you're not even 60 yet?
Taking advantage of his dazed state, Diao Chan nimbly darted to the side and quickly left!
By the time Mr. Gao realized that Diao Chan was mocking him for being old, Diao Chan had already walked away! He was about to chase after her when he didn't notice that another bald man not far from him was looking at him like he was a dead man.
That's right, Cha Lan's gaze is dangerous right now. You dare to set your sights on Mr. Chen's woman? You're practically asking for death! You old bald man, you've narrowed your own path!
He was in a hurry to pick up Chen Xiao, and glanced at Nie Feng, who was blocking his way: "President Nie, you lost the bet last night, are you going to admit it?"
Nie Feng's expression changed. "Old Cha, you didn't drink too much last night?"
He had just invited Cha Lan to work at his company, partly to thank him for speaking up for him last night, which saved him from drinking half a bottle of alcohol. The other reason was the bet; he wondered if Cha Lan would still bring it up once he started working there.
"Just tell me if you admit it or not," Cha Lan said, crossing his arms.
Despite his sharp tongue, Nie Feng is a man of his word. Otherwise, Jiang Lili wouldn't have developed genuine feelings for him. He does have some redeeming qualities!
"Alright, since you agree, let's fulfill your promise now." After saying that, he paused, then pointed at President Gao, who was just about to chase after Diao Chan, and said, "See that bald guy? Just shout at him three times and that'll be it!"
Huh? Nie Feng looked at President Gao with a grim expression: "He's so ugly!"
"Damn, you've got a problem with that. Let me tell you, there aren't many people around now, so you'd better be single. Otherwise, next time I'll find a crowded place for you to perform!"
"One must either stick their neck out or risk getting stabbed." Nie Feng was also philosophical about it—Old Cha was right, let's take advantage of the small crowd and perform!
Having figured it out, he immediately put it into action. While Cha Lan was walking towards General Manager Gao, he slipped away to Jun Xiaocheng; he no longer had time to supervise from here!
As soon as he entered, he was startled again, just as he bumped into Ma Jian's sweetheart, Xiao Ru, and Jiang Lili coming out. He immediately realized that Nie Feng must have come to see them.
He nodded, said hello, and quickly walked towards the second floor.
"Ma Jian's friend is supposed to be a security guard. Shouldn't he be on duty at this time? Are security guards that free?" Jiang Lili asked, looking at Cha Lan's retreating figure with considerable doubt.
"Besides, look at what he's wearing today. Although there's no logo on his clothes, the material is obviously high-end. Why would a security guard dress so well?"
Xiaoru seemed preoccupied today. "Don't worry so much. Has Nie Feng arrived yet?"
The two of them went shopping and bought a few outfits. They passed the interview and will officially start working at the Jiangzhou Design Institute next week. Nie Feng came to pick them up; he had just sent a message, so the two of them came out from inside.
"Hey? Isn't that Nie Feng? What's he doing?"
As soon as the two came out, they saw Nie Feng walking towards a middle-aged bald man. Just as Jiang Lili was about to call out to him, Nie Feng spoke first, shouting three times to the bald middle-aged man who had been stopped and was about to speak: "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
Although it was morning and the mall wasn't crowded, a few couples were still passing by in the square, drawn by Nie Feng's voice, and all turned to look. For a moment, the entire square seemed to freeze. Everyone was speechless!
Jiang Lili had barely slapped herself and uttered the word "Nie" when Nie Fenglei slapped her so hard she was practically scorched! "You wretched child!"
"Xiaoru, let's go inside. We can't afford to lose face like this!"
Just then, a scream of agony rang out. Jiang Lili looked up and saw the middle-aged bald man angrily punching Nie Feng in the face! (End of Chapter)
