[Big Boss Chapter 1] Jealousy
The reason why Cheng Biyun and the original owner had a fight was very simple, and it can be summed up in four words: jealousy.
Cheng Biyun overheard her father Cheng Lianshan talking to his subordinates, and learned that the Governor Yan, whom she had always been fond of, would come to Li Cuiyuan to listen to the opera today, so she arrived early, intending to take a good seat first, and then she would have a chance encounter with her father and his party, and she could naturally sit at the same table with Governor Yan.
But when she arrived at the opera house, she found that the best seat was occupied by Chu Jiao, whom she had always disliked in school, and she immediately arrogantly asked Chu Jiao to give up her seat.
Before the incident of Marshal Chu, who dared to mess with his precious daughter Chu Jiao? Although Cheng Biyun is also domineering, she was ordered by her father, who is a lower official, not to oppose Chu Jiao.
She thought it was nothing, but when she learned that Chu Jiao was the fiancée of Governor Yan, she became more and more resentful. How could a man as heroic and wise as Governor Yan not be hers?
When Cheng Biyun learned that Marshal Chu was assassinated, she finally felt proud. Without her father's reputation, Chu Jiao was nothing.
So she arrogantly asked Chu Jiao to give up her position.
And the original owner "Chu Jiao" experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings in just a month after her father passed away. The people who flattered her had long disappeared, and her former classmates who were as close as sisters were also indifferent. Today, she wanted to go to her father's favorite theater to listen to a play, but even the seat she usually sat in was occupied by someone else. She got angry and refused to do anything.
In this way, the two of them were at loggerheads, and they fought over a disagreement.
Cheng Biyun carried a small whip made by her father, but the original owner was empty-handed and was no match for her. She was injured without checking, and then Chu Jiao came through.
While Chu Jiao and Cheng Biyun were in a stalemate, a person walked over from the direction of the stage.
This person was dressed in blue and came in hurriedly. It seemed that he had just rushed in from the backstage. The patch on his forehead was not yet applied, revealing a neat short hair, while his facial features were already heavily smeared with rouge and powder, outlining his beautiful face.
"It's all due to our poor preparations. I hope you two ladies will forgive us." She walked up to the two of them and bowed, her voice gentle and androgynous, "You two are both daughters of military families who are as well-dressed as the emperor. It's just a small matter, it's not worth it for you to hurt your relationship."
"Xiruo has ordered people to set up another table and chairs. They are all first-class seats." She spoke skillfully and in a gentle tone, which easily made people feel good. "The show is about to begin. Why don't you take your seats and enjoy it first?"
There was a small umbrella and a few plates of fruits on Chu Jiao's original seat. Du Xiruo moved these things to another table next to her while speaking, smiling.
Obviously, compared to Miss Chu, who no longer had her father to back her up, Li Cuiyuan was more reluctant to offend Miss Cheng, whose father had a smooth career.
To put it in modern terms, Cheng Biyun is a typical face-oriented person.
Du Xiruo is the leading actress of Li Cuiyuan. Cheng Biyun once had dinner with him thanks to her father's fame, and saw how handsome Du Xiruo was without makeup.
Although he is not as handsome as Governor Yan, he is also a gentle and handsome man. Seeing that Du Xiruo personally persuaded her to stop fighting and the seat was vacated for her, and hearing that the show was about to start, she was worried about when Governor Yan would come, and immediately calmed down her temper.
"Chu Jiao, you're lucky," Cheng Biyun snorted twice, "Since Mrs. Du has spoken, I don't want to argue with you."
Chu Jiao raised her eyebrows.
One smoothed things over, the other compromised. So she had to thank both of them?
She was too lazy to care about Cheng Biyun, a simple-minded young lady. As soon as Du Xiruo appeared, the system kept reminding her that "the heroine is approaching." At the same time, there was also a reminder that "the hero is approaching."
It seems that the heroine appeared at the right time.
She didn't come to persuade them earlier or later, but she showed up to smooth things over when the hero came. It's really... very impressive.
Chu Jiao loosened her hand and let Cheng Biyun take back the whip.
She only likes to watch plays, not act in them. If
someone wants to act, she won't accompany them.
She turned and walked towards the gate of the theater, and met the hero and his group who were slowly approaching.
The man walking in the middle was very tall, with long and straight legs in military boots. He was wrapped in a military uniform, looking dignified and abstinent.
Chu Jiao glanced at him and then looked away.
It was not a familiar face.
Disappointment flashed through her heart.
When she passed by the man, Du Xiruo called her from behind, "Miss Chu, your umbrella!"
Chu Jiao waved her hands lazily without turning her head.
"I won't keep my things if they have been touched by others."
"Whoever likes it can take it."
"I think it's dirty."
Hearing this, the man who had been putting his hands in his military pants pockets suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the girl who was about to leave.
