Chapter 428: Really Want to Strangle Her
After speaking, he quickly hung up the phone!Not long after, Chenxi called again, "Big brother, what’s going on? Is my Weibo being attacked by trolls?"
"Before I went to sleep, they were fawning over me. How come they turned on me in the blink of an eye?"
Xiao Jinghuai pressed down on his brow bone, "That’s why I’m asking you, did you offend anyone recently!"
"I... let me think."
"Oh, I got it." Chenxi suddenly thought of someone, "I recently offended my sister-in-law! The others are just jealous of me but can’t take me down, definitely wouldn’t pull a stunt like this."
Xiao Jinghuai thought, if Chenxi were with him, he’d definitely knock her head hard, "Don’t talk nonsense! She’s not like that, besides... she’s been busy lately, has no time to deal with you."
"Oh, then I don’t know." Chenxi’s tone suddenly relaxed a bit, "Big brother, how do you know it’s because I offended someone?"
"It’s definitely you!"
"You do so well in the market, people are jealous and want to take you down, it’s possible! Why pin the blame on me?"
"I’m so innocent!"
"..."
Xiao Jinghuai slightly furrowed his sword-like eyebrows, "Alright, think carefully if there’s anyone you overlooked. I’ll definitely investigate thoroughly on my side too, that’s it."
Just as the call ended, people from the tech department walked into the office led by Xing Quan.
Xiao Jinghuai stood up and nodded at them, leading them into the small meeting room inside the office...
...
What Xiao Jinghuai didn’t know was that as soon as Chenxi ended the call, she got up from bed, originally planning to sleep for beauty rest. She rushed into the bathroom, dressed in layers, put on a hat large enough to cover her face, and slipped on clothes and oversized sunglasses before quietly leaving the room.
Damn!
Why does she feel like it’s Xiao Jiuru’s doing?
That man is a complete fox, she must meet him to confirm if it’s him!
Chenxi walked to the underground garage, got into a red Ferrari, and dialed Xiao Jiuru’s phone number. It wasn’t long before the call was answered, as if he expected her to call...
She sweetly greeted him, "Uncle, how about we meet at the old place? Are you free?"
"Of course, see you in half an hour!"
"..."
Chenxi hung up the phone and threw the phone to the back seat, huh! His voice is still just as seductive.
As for the old place, it’s actually a regular apartment where the two lived together five years ago. Once they knew they weren’t biologically uncle and niece, they couldn’t suppress their feelings for each other, but it didn’t last long. Afterwards, he learned his parents were harmed by Xiao Zhongzhen.
Even though her status is awkward within the Xiao Family and isn’t accepted by Xiao Zhongzhen, the fact that her grandfather killed his parents was a hurdle he couldn’t get over...
Plus, once they really started living together, there’d always be arguments which gradually erased all sweetness and affection.
Eventually, they went their separate ways.
He moves on his way, and she on hers.
She admits she still loves him, but so what?
She’s never been a woman who’d give up everything for romance...
And he won’t give up on revenge for her.
Thus, they’re destined not to be together.
Quickly arriving at the entrance of the neighborhood, seeing this place from five years ago, Chenxi couldn’t help feeling a bit dazed, as if nothing had changed yet everything had.
Especially between her and Xiao Jiuru...
Chenxi walked to the door, just reached out to grip the doorknob, and couldn’t help but feel timid thinking they hadn’t met in five years.
But this was truly a time to test her acting skills. If she can deceive him, it means she’s passed.
As soon as the door opened, Chenxi was pulled inside the house by a force, pinned heavily against the door panel.
Then, a passionate kiss assaulted her, soon her lips and tongue were occupied by the man, their breaths became increasingly rapid.
Chenxi didn’t expect to lose right at the start.
A simple kiss from him made her lose completely.
No, she can’t lose, even more so can’t let him see she still has fantasies about him...
Yet she loved the scent on him, still seemed like the familiar aftershave scent, not a bit changed.
Xiao Jiuru, feeling the woman’s passionate response, his bewitchingly cold eyes flashed with ice, he suddenly let go of the woman and sneered, "Didn’t expect Miss Chen hasn’t changed a bit over the years, still so... desperate, even when suddenly pulled in and forcibly kissed without shouting, not resisting, but actually enjoying it."
"The entertainment world is indeed messy, making wanton women even more wanton."
"..."
Chenxi had expected he wouldn’t say anything pleasant, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, pretending calmness as she took out lipstick and compact from her bag, walked to a spot with good lighting to touch up her makeup while saying: "It’s not the first time being forcibly kissed, should I panic?"
The woman looked at the messy lipstick on her lips in the mirror, "Oh dear! Uncle, your kissing skill has dropped a lot from back then, you could kiss me without messing the lipstick in the past, now... heh!"
Chenxi used "heh" to express her contempt.
Before when they kissed, he had great patience guiding her gently, naturally the lipstick wouldn’t smudge badly...
But just now he was eager, it was clearly dog-chewing, not smudging would be strange!
The man remained silent, just stood behind the woman watching her back while fixing makeup, then lit a cigarette.
After finishing the makeup touch-up, Chenxi turned around saw the man’s entire face shrouded in smoke, couldn’t see his facial expression, but she guessed he probably showed no expression.
After all, he’s always been like this.
Chenxi raised her hand to flick away the smoke curling towards her, "Could you please smoke outside?"
Afterwards, not only did Xiao Jiuru not go outside, he even moved closer to Chenxi and deliberately blew a circle of smoke onto her face, "I thought you’d like it."
"Didn’t you always say... Uncle looks coolest smoking?"
Chenxi laughed coldly inside, she indeed said those words before, she said a lot of silly things back then, also did many silly things, but now she’s different.
"Uncle, you did say it was before, now one of the things I hate most is the smell of smoke!"
Saying so, Chenxi walked to the window and opened it, gazing at the view outside, "Alright, I didn’t come to reminisce with you but to ask you something, did you cause trouble for Meilong?"
Being able to strike her big brother and kick her out of the entertainment world, such a two-birds-one-stone good deed really seems like his handiwork.
Xiao Jiuru’s laugh turned sinister, "Oh, it’s actually not just that, I’m also... planning to make Yi Pei unable to make a comeback in the entertainment circle!"
"You..."
Chenxi was angry, so it was indeed him.
But Chenxi quickly regained composure, "Uncle wants to make Yi unable to make a comeback huh! That’s great, I’ve long been fed up with him, Uncle is really thoughtful, thanks!"
The man looked at the woman’s nonchalant expression, really wanted to go over and strangle her!
