Chapter 18: Chapter 16: Mother Rakshasa Returns
"Wow! That's so nice!" Upon hearing Lin Xi's words, Su Chen immediately put on a face that was flattered beyond belief.
Seeing Su Chen's reaction, Lin Xi couldn't help shaking her head internally, truly a man without grand ambitions, give him a little favor and he acts like he's picked up some great bargain.
However, Su Chen then scoffed, "Thanks for the generous offer, President Lin, but I've already found a better job!"
He even stressed the words "even better."
After saying that, he tilted his nose up to the sky and strutted out of the villa with an air of arrogance.
Looking at Su Chen's smug figure, Lin Xi wore a cold sneer.
Show off, let's see how long you can keep it up.
You have to realize, this guy doesn't have much skill, but his talent for spending money is terrific; he's spent over a million of her money in just over a month.
Now that she's not giving him a penny and he doesn't have a job, she guessed it wouldn't be long before he came to her begging with his tail between his legs.
So, Lin Xi was in no hurry at all.
She went downstairs, into the garage, and drove out her Maserati.
Not long after she left, she saw Su Chen walking on the road.
The Maserati stopped next to Su Chen.
The car window rolled down.
"I seem to be going your way too, want a lift?" Lin Xi, although only wearing light makeup, looking so beautiful it was beyond words, smilingly asked Su Chen.
You can just picture the scene.
The morning, warm sunlight, a gentle breeze, a luxury car stopping next to you, and an astonishingly beautiful woman asking if you want a ride...
"How can I impose..." His wife, the president, offering a ride, happiness came so unexpectedly, Su Chen habitually reached out to open the car door, but unfortunately, he only caught a whiff of exhaust fumes, then heard a voice, "Since you're embarrassed, then never mind."
Watching the Maserati speed away in an instant, Su Chen silently flipped the bird at the car's rearview mirror.
Seeing Su Chen look so dejected, Lin Xi actually felt a lot better.
That's right, she was just there to tease Su Chen.
Want a ride in her car?
Wishful thinking.
"Little Chen!"
Feeling gloomy, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Without looking back, Su Chen knew who it was.
The pure-white flower, Wang Yue.
"Sister Yue."
"Little Chen, why are you wandering on the road? You're going to be late for work, hurry up and get on, I'll give you a lift," said Wang Yue as she habitually took off her helmet and spoke to Su Chen.
Her customary action, the waterfall-like black hair cascading down from the helmet, always sent a thrill through Su Chen.
He didn't know why, but such a simple action of taking off a helmet made Su Chen find Wang Yue so beautiful—infinitely more so than all those overly dressed-up girls.
"Sister Yue, do you live around here too?" Su Chen felt a bit puzzled.
This area wasn't far from the villa district; logically, Wang Yue couldn't possibly live here.
"Yeah," a flicker of panic crossed Wang Yue's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Hold tight, let's go!"
Su Chen still didn't reach out to hold the small pure-white flower's waist, truly an innocent girl that tugged at one's heartstrings.
Clearly, Wang Yue didn't live here; she just happened to have dropped off Su Chen here yesterday. The pure-white flower appeared here, most likely just to wait for him.
No other reason, just to repay Su Chen for helping her out yesterday.
That's how straightforward and pure she was.
Before arriving at the company, Su Chen saw a breakfast vendor and got out of the car to buy breakfast.
"I was wondering why Xuewei didn't let me bring breakfast today. Turns out she asked you to buy it," Wang Yue realized as she saw Su Chen queuing up to buy breakfast.
The breakfast stall was set up in a small alley; the electric scooter couldn't pass through, so Wang Yue waited outside for Su Chen.
After queuing for a few minutes, it was finally Su Chen's turn when suddenly, a woman in her thirties hurried over and cut in front of him, saying to the vendor, "Boss, give me a basket of celery dumplings, only the celery ones."
Su Chen immediately got annoyed and slapped the woman on the shoulder.
The woman immediately turned around, glaring at Su Chen with anger and said, "Who are you, do I know you? Why did you hit me?"
Su Chen casually pushed the woman out of the line and said, "If you don't know me, what gives you the right to cut in my line?"
"Do you even know who I am? Do you realize how valuable my time is? Wasting a minute of my time could feed you buns for a month!" The woman was pushed out of the queue by Su Chen and continued to grumble and curse.
Then she reluctantly joined the line again.
After hearing the woman's words, a smirk suddenly appeared on Su Chen's lips as he asked the vendor, "Boss, how many baskets of celery dumplings do you have left?"
"Five baskets," the vendor replied.
"I'll take them all."
Having paid, Su Chen carried a big plastic bag full of breakfast and the five baskets of celery dumplings, humming a tune while going to find the Maserati.
The woman was so angry she gritted her teeth.
Boarding the Maserati's electric scooter again, a few minutes later, he arrived at the sales department office.
"Xuewei, your breakfast is here."
A gang of female hooligans rushed towards the breakfast as soon as they saw it, and in an instant, everything was snatched away, including the five extra baskets of celery dumplings.
Looking at his empty hands, Su Chen was at a loss for words, no wonder Yang Xuewei asked him to buy so much, it wasn't just for her to eat.
But, couldn't you guys at least leave some for me?
Just as Su Chen was feeling utterly dejected, Yang Xuewei handed over a bun she was holding.
Su Chen was so moved he was on the verge of tears, "Xuewei is still humane..."
He opened his mouth, ready to take a bite of the bun, but Yang Xuewei snatched it back and blinked her pretty big eyes, saying, "Why are you eating my bun? I just wanted you to hold it for me, it's hot..."
"..."
Su Chen returned to his desk forlornly, then discovered a plastic bag on it containing two soup dumplings and a cup of soy milk.
"I'm so full, I can't eat any more, help me eat them, Su Chen?" Wang Yue patted her flat belly, pretending to be full.
Actually, Su Chen knew that Wang Yue had only taken three soup dumplings and a cup of soy milk, which means she had only eaten one dumpling...
Just as he was about to return the dumplings to Wang Yue, suddenly, the usually noisy sales department became instantly silent.
Wang Yue too immediately sat up straight and pretended to be working seriously.
"What happened?" Su Chen was puzzled as to why these goddesses had suddenly turned serious.
You should know that someone was just telling a risqué joke.
Before coming to the sales department, Su Chen had imagined the girls there as fresh and bashful.
It turns out he was utterly mistaken.
They were nothing but a group of female hooligans.
Dare to tell them a risqué joke, and they'll surely tell you an even dirtier one...
"Shh, don't talk, the demoness is back from her trip!" Wang Yue whispered.
Then, click-clack, a series of high heels sounded.
Su Chen turned his head to see who it was that could make such a gang of female hooligans all so scared.
However, when he saw the figure slowly walking into the sales department office, he instantly felt sick...
