He laughed at Chu Xun and Chu Jiaoyang’s leaving back views. “Although Chu Xun appears delicate and weak, her strength isn’t to be belittled! I didn’t expect that!”
“That young lady with something wrong with her brain is so slim, so if President Chu couldn’t manage to drag her away, I’d suspect she was up to something!” Bai Xiaonian’s mouth was unforgiving. Perhaps because she minded the fact that Lu Jinnan’s eyes had fallen upon that young lady’s chest and thus felt uncomfortable, her expression was a little dark when facing Lu Jinnan.
Being flat-chested was Bai Xiaonian’s greatest hurt in this lifetime…
Lu Jinnan glanced at Bai Xiaonian and got the wrong idea, thinking that she was jealous of him praising Chu Xun for being delicate and weak.
What should one do when their girlfriend was mad? Treat her to a good meal! If one meal didn’t do it, make it two!
Lu Jinnan had always lived by this strategy, so he walked towards Bai Xiaonian and bent over, stroking her on the top of her head. “You’ll surely be pleased with the restaurant we’re going to for lunch!”
“Okay!” The corners of Bai Xiaonian’s lips turned up, though she only appeared to be smiling on the surface.
Lu Jinnan felt that this tactic—using good food to appease his girlfriend—worked every time. He straightened his body, satisfied with himself, a smile taking over his fair and dashing facial features.
Little Lu only had the time to say hello to Lin Nuan now, smiling and nodding at her. “Madam…”
Lin Nuan returned the nod and a slight smile, thanking Little Lu for safely sending Tuan Tuan back. She then looked up at Fu Huai’an. “Are you done with your business?”
“Yes, I have the entire afternoon to accompany you. You can think about where you want to go while eating lunch.”
“Then let’s go to the mall!” Lin Nuan’s eyes sparkled as she gazed at Fu Huai’an. “The watch I gave you has been smashed, so I want to get you a new piece.”
After she finished her words, Lin Nuan edged closer to Fu Huai’an, who also edged his head closer to her. He then heard Lin Nuan add in an incredibly small voice, “Using the bank card Mr. Fu submitted!”
Fu Huai’an’s dark eyes were all smiles as he nodded. “Okay…”
…
Chu Xun yanked Chu Jiaoyang into the suite, then slammed the door shut, staring at Chu Jiaoyang with reddened eyes and a heaving chest.
“You have disgraced the Chu family entirely!” Chu Xun was so mad that her hands were shaking, and she was barely holding back tears.
Chu Jiaoyang was barefoot, holding onto one high heel in her hand, the other lost somewhere else. Her tears ruined her makeup, and her exquisite braids were loosened, making her appear disheveled.
The young lady wiped her tears with the back of her hands, and her eyes widened in aggrievedness as she stared at her furious cousin. “Why are you so fierce towards me when my love has ended!”
“What love has ended? Since when did Fu Huai’an date you? Are you shameless or what?” Chu Xun blabbed those harsh words out of anger.
The color of blood drained from Chu Jiaoyang’s face as she stared at Chu Xun in disbelief, her eyes watering up again.
Even Lin Nuan and that irritating friend of hers didn’t call her shameless, yet her own cousin had just done so. This was a particularly harsh word in Chu Jiaoyang’s book.
Tears started falling down Chu Jiaoyang’s cheeks. “I’m going to tell my mom!”
Chu Xun nearly exploded from anger. “What are you capable of other than complaining to the family? Chu Jiaoyang! You’re no longer a primary school kid! You’re already grown! You need to understand that this society is unlike the Chu family, which allows you to summon the wind and call for rain! Can you be more sensible and make others less worried about you? You’re going to complain to your mother that Fu Huai’an doesn’t like you, and what, are you expecting her to kidnap Fu Huai’an and bring him to your side? Chu Jiaoyang! Stop giving others a reason to call you a retard! Grow up! I beg of you!”
After finishing her speech, Chu Xun went back to her room and slammed the door behind her, so mad that she leaned against the door frame and started crying herself.
The minute Chu Jiaoyang heard the door slam, she burst into tears, screaming at Chu Xun’s door, “Don’t think I’m not aware that you like Brother Huai’an too! You’re just afraid that Brother Huai’an likes me, so you’re no longer that cousin who used to like me! You hate me now too! I know!”
Inside the room, Chu Xun covered her mouth with her hands as her body slid down lifelessly against the door frame. She buried her face in her hands and howled, feeling drained of all energy, unable to lecture Chu Jiaoyang. She felt fatigued, in both mind and body.
She felt that she no longer had the face to walk out of the suite. How was she to face Fu Huai’an… and other people’s peculiar stares?
She had no idea how others were ridiculing her behind her back, but it must be pretty nasty.
Chu Xun felt her body turn cold. She hugged her knees to her chest and buried her face between them, other people’s whispers and murmurs in her ears.
Chu Xun was a prideful woman who had always hoped to present a perfect image in front of others!
So she hated Lin Nuan!
Even if she was Lin Nuan’s rival in love, when she had stripped naked in front of Fu Huai’an back then, she wasn’t aware that they had gotten married! Why did Lin Nuan have to be so relentless, to go around spreading her shameful deed such that everyone now knew!
Lin Nuan… was trying to drive her to her grave!
She absolutely wouldn’t let Lin Nuan succeed!
Chu Xun wiped away her tears and forcibly pulled herself together. Old Madam Fu had arrived in Venice; she just wasn’t staying at this hotel.
She had to look for Old Madam Fu and come up with a strategy with her.
Chu Xun’s father had said that if Old Madam Fu came to Venice personally, she might be able to convince Fu Huai’an to return to the Kaide Corporation, so he told her not to be so anxious!
The Kaide Corporation’s share price was still plunging, to the point that Chu Xun’s father could barely keep still any longer. If Old Madam Fu couldn’t convince Fu Huai’an to return, then he would take a gamble and get Chu Xun to sell his shares to Fu Huai’an at a low price, in order to minimize losses.
Chu Xun had to lift her spirits. She was the Chu family’s daughter, and her father had tasks for her. She couldn’t remain depressed just because Lin Nuan was trying to deal her a blow.
Chu Xun propped her body up, supporting herself against the door frame. She proceeded to take a hot shower in the bathroom and change into a set of clothes that would please the elders more, then left to look for Old Madam Fu after putting on some light makeup.
The little princess Chu Jiaoyang had already fallen asleep on the sofa, tired from crying, tear streaks still on her face…
Chu Xun couldn’t bear to see her this way after all; she picked up a blanket and covered Chu Jiaoyang with it before leaving.
…
The group of six—Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan, Little Lu, and You Nainai—sat in a little boat and arrived at the entrance of a Chinese restaurant. The signage seemed old, but the decor within and the waiters appeared to be cordial and warm.
Hot steam and the aroma of hot pot could be detected. Regardless of whether they had black hair and black eyes or blond hair and blue eyes, the waiters were wearing an ancient-style black uniform, which was like that donned by waiters in tea inns in the past. They were also wearing a black veil in front of their faces to prevent their saliva from getting onto the food when they spoke while serving.
The minute the six of them entered, there was the sound of a gong at the door. All of the wait staff spoke uniformly in a Szechuan dialect, welcoming the guests. It was the same whether the incoming guests were Chinese nationals or the local Venice people.
