Chapter 118
[Hi, old classmate...bared teeth/bared teeth/bared teeth/]
The text message came from Lin Mengxi, a classmate who had only recently met after ten years of absence. Ye Chen frowned and did not intend to reply.
Ye Chen was just about to put down his phone when the conversation bar updated again.
[Old classmate, do you have time tonight? We haven't seen each other for ten years. It's a rare reunion for us, shall we come out for a meal? I also want to thank you for letting me get a commission on the sale of a house... Lovely/Cute/Cute/]
Ye Chen paused and eventually replied to her.
[I've been quite busy lately. I really don't have the time.]
But Lin Mengxi immediately replied back.
[Okay, I understand. Then we'll find a time to get together next time. If you need any help, just send me a message!]
[Hmm.]
After a simple reply, Ye Chen put down his phone and drove the big G.
In the break room of the sales department of Shanshuijian, Lin Mengxi bit her lip as she recalled the course of her life.
She had never regretted that she had rejected Ye Chen's pursuit before, even though Ye Chen was more handsome than any of her suitors and had entered a first-class school with a score of nearly six hundred in the entrance examination.
Even when she was dumped by the district governor's son in the next class after he got bored with her, she never regretted rejecting Ye Chen.
After entering the workplace, she moved around several big cities. She was adopted, hooked up with many rich men, and was raped because of her dream of becoming a star.
Unfortunately, she didn't end up with anything good. The only thing she saved up was a bunch of extremely false promises...
Yet despite this, she didn't even think about the boy who confessed his love for her at the beginning. She didn't even care about the various statements made in the classmates group laughing at Ye Chen, much less the fluke of not choosing him in the first place. It could be said that Ye Chen was nothing more than a transparent passer-by in her life.
Over the years, she had plenty of opportunities to have a good relationship, but she didn't. Because she knew that an ordinary relationship couldn't give her what she wanted. So after her dreams of stardom were shattered, she went into the property business.
She didn't choose the top-end residential areas that cost over 100,000 yuan a square metre because she didn't think she could handle that kind of old fox.
She didn't pick those low- to mid-range residential areas because she despised those just-needed groups.
And Shanshuijian, which started at 60,000 to 70,000 yuan per unit, has undoubtedly become the best choice for her to pick a rich boyfriend.
Have any clients have a crush on her in the first half of her career?
Yes, and quite a few.
But they were all older, or slutty clients. She didn't like them so much that she didn't want to play cat and mouse with them at all.
She had to wait for an older single rich man, or at least a married man under the age of forty-five. She had seen too much of the real-life mistress-against-the-wives kind of drama and didn't mind if she launched a counter-attack as a mistress against her lover's wife...
She didn't care about moral integrity, because for her, this is the best shortcut to change her destiny and squeeze into high society to reach the top of her life.
Unfortunately, she has been unable to find the right prey over six months.
Just when she was torn about whether to settle for the second best, Ye Chen and Zhang Jingshan appeared.
At first, she was trying to hook up with Zhang Jingshan through Ye Chen.
But with Ye Chen's full purchase of a 20 million yuan house and the general manager's disclosure of Zhang Jingshan's identity, she had to scrap her original idea. Because just as the general manager had said, she would never be able to marry into the old secretary's family in Jiang Zhou.
Instead, Ye Chen, who had directly paid the full 20 million yuan for the house and owned a big Mercedes G, knocked on the door of her fantasy!
Even if she knew that Ye Chen already had a wife and daughter, but this was not important to Lin Mengxi. What was important was that what Ye Chen showed matched her requirements for a spouse.
More importantly, Ye Chen had pursued her!
Based on these two points, the light of hope in her heart had already lit up.
Even though the last sentence on the chat page was a simple "hmm", Lin Mengxi was not very disappointed.
She did not believe that any man could resist temptation, not to mention that Ye Chen had pursued her in the first place. Ten years had passed, but she still had enough confidence in her own beauty!
She let go of her bitten lips and murmured flirtatiously, "Old classmate, are you playing cat and mouse with me? But it's okay, ten years ago you were the one who pursued me. Now, I'll pursue you."
...
Unaware that he had been targeted by the goddess he once daydreamed about, Ye Chen, who had returned to his rented house, packed up the necessities to his new house.
He packed his own luggage, as well as Chen Yinuo's and Yo's, and finally packed them into two suitcases, one large and one small.
Time flew, and the sunset shone into the fairly well-lit rental house.
As he was leaving, he looked at the rental house that had been rented before Yo was born and was still there today, and Ye Chen, a man of two lives, was overcome with emotion.
"Farewell!" After murmuring softly, Ye Chen dragged his suitcases and walked out.
He shoved the suitcases into the trunk of the big G and drove away from the urban village where he had stayed for five or six years.
He first picked up Yo from Bauhinia Kindergarten, then drove towards Huaxing Trade and Commerce to pick up Chen Yinuo from work, and finally ran to a private restaurant at mealtime - Chen's Private Kitchen, a Jiang Zhou Netflix hit spot.
Chen Yinuo asked glumly, "It's fine to just get something to eat at home. Why do you want to come here? The food here may not be that good, but the prices have been hyped up by netizens. A few pieces of ribs cost seventy-eight yuan!"
"I saw you liked a video of this private restaurant on TikTok, so I came here! The price is a bit expensive, but the three of us can't spend much money!" Ye Chen smiled and said.
At those words, Chen Yinuo couldn't help but be moved because she wouldn't have even thought that Ye Chen would come here just because she had liked it on TikTok.
However, she asked sheepishly, "If I liked a Rolls-Royce Bentley on TikTok, then are you going to buy one too?"
"If you like it, I'll definitely buy it!" Ye Chen replied seriously.
"Come on. You'd better develop the flawless cream business first. Money will definitely be tight at the beginning of the business, so save as much as you can in the future. If you want to splurge, you have to wait until your business takes off and you've accumulated enough capital!" Chen Yinuo shook her head, and then couldn't help but retort.
This made Ye Chen feel embarrassed, because the 200 million yuan of Flawless Cream investment capital was more than enough.
Apart from the 200 million yuan he had set aside for the Flawless Cream, he currently had over 200 million yuan in his fortune.
Besides, he would have to earn tens of millions of yuan in a couple of days, so it was indeed a bit difficult for him to pretend to be poor.
But in the face of Chen Yinuo's rant, he still nodded and smiled bitterly, "Yes, my wife is right."
It made Chen Yinuo feel embarrassed, and even her pretty face couldn't stop burning slightly. She pretended to glare at him, "Don't be so silly."
After saying that, Chen Yinuo gathered up the embarrassment on her face and suddenly became serious, "By the way, I want to tell you something."
