Chapter 5 Cannon Fodder Heiress (5)



Chen Tianxi chuckled, "You talk like you know everything!" Seeing that Chu Nian had already gotten up and headed towards the back door of the classroom, she quickly got up and chased after her.

Chu Nian said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm just going to the restroom!"

Chen Tianxi: "I'm going to the restroom too."

Chu Nian was speechless for a moment, then said, "What do you want to say? Say it while I still have the patience to listen."

Chen Tianxi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Are you... how is your Lin family?"

Chu Nian: "Great, very good."

Chen Tianxi: "Um, I heard there's a really hot project lately, and some foreigners want to invest. But my brother said that the foreigner's background is unclear, and he might be a scammer trying to steal investment money. You... um, when you get back, tell your dad and the others that if they encounter someone like that, they absolutely mustn't fall for it."

Chu Nian raised an eyebrow, looking like she didn't care, and said, "I don't usually have to worry about these things. My grandpa and my dad can handle them."

Chen Tianxi hurriedly said, "What if they get scammed?" Seeing Chu Nian looking over with a puzzled expression, she quickly added, "I meant 'what if'. As the saying goes, 'It's better to be safe than sorry.' It's never wrong for you to remind them."

Chu Nian feigned curiosity and asked, "You haven't heard any inside information, have you?!"

The Chen and Lin families are old friends. The elders of the Lin family have always been very kind to the Chen siblings. Chen Tianxi has feelings for Grandpa Lin and Dad Lin.

But in the past, Chen Tianxi hated Lin Nian from the bottom of her heart, so when she heard that her brother and Yun Fan were plotting to take down the Lin family, she hesitated for a few days.

She had remained silent for the past few days due to hesitation, but by the time she wanted to tell the truth, the Lin family had already fallen—it was her unintentional concern for the Lin family that prompted Chen Tianchi and Yun Fan to act prematurely.

Afterwards, the elders of the Chen family almost broke ties with Chen Tianchi and even suggested that Lin Nian come to live with the Chen family. Although Chen Tianxi disliked Lin Nian, he did not object. However, it was impossible for Lin Nian to move to the Chen family, as the Chen family's son was one of the murderers who caused her family's ruin.

Once Lin Nian is completely eliminated, Chen Tianxi, a girl who, like Lin Nian, suffers from various princess-like ailments but is far more attention-seeking than Lin Nian, becomes the main character Tian Siyin's number one rival.

Therefore, Chen Tianxi is the second most vicious female supporting character in the book after Lin Nian. Shortly after Lin Nian's death, she turns against Tian Siyin after discovering that she and her family had been deceived and used by Tian Siyin's manipulative nature. However, in Chen Tianchi's eyes, she is just suffering from an increasingly severe case of princess syndrome, unable to bear anyone being better than her.

Finally, because of Chen Tianchi, Chen Tianxi's family was not destroyed, but she was forced into a marriage by Chen Tianchi to a sixty-year-old man with many children and grandchildren. He died less than two years after she married him.

The old man's entire estate was taken over by his children and grandchildren, so Chen Tianxi had no choice but to return to the Chen family. However, she was not liked by He Yingying, the true friend of Chen Tianchi's wife at the time, Tian Siyin. The two often quarreled. He Yingying miscarried, and Chen Tianchi sent Chen Tianxi abroad in a fit of anger. Not long after, she died in a car accident abroad.

However, the plot later reveals that Chen Tianxi's car accident was actually a murder orchestrated by the local authorities. Tian Siyin overheard Yunfan and Yunfeng's long-distance phone call outside Yunfan's office and learned that Yunfan, to prevent her from suffering in the marriage of He and Chen, specifically instructed Yunfeng to stage a car accident that resulted in Chen Tianxi's death.

But Tian Siyin kept this matter to herself and never uttered a word about it to anyone.

Chen Tianxi is a true darling of heaven, with an IQ far exceeding that of the average person. If she hadn't been at odds with Lin Nian from the beginning and hadn't intentionally tried to use Tian Siyin to strike at Lin Nian, she probably wouldn't have gotten so close to Tian Siyin. And later on, she probably wouldn't have been fooled by Tian Siyin's constant act of being pitiful and acting as if she was being bullied by Lin Nian.

Chu Nian's initial plan wasn't wrong; with just a little effort, Chen Tianxi would come to his senses. Sure enough, much earlier than the original plot, he had already decided to warn Chu Nian that someone was planning to target the Lin family.

But Chu Nian had already prepared for this.

The next day at noon, Yunfan received news that a fraudster posing as an investor from Country X had been arrested. Although Yunfan is still just a college student, he's the protagonist, and his protagonist aura is incredibly strong. Before assigning the task, he had already taken care of the fraudster. After being questioned by the police for a long time, the fraudster, seeing he couldn't deny it, took all the blame, preventing Yunfan and Chen Tianchi from being implicated.

Chu Nian also received the news that this person had actually been suffering from a terminal illness for a long time, and had only taken on this mission to leave some living expenses for his wife and children. As someone who had also suffered from a terminal illness, Chu Nian sighed inwardly and decided not to pursue the matter any further; there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with the scumbag later.

The matter was settled within a few days.

Many students have noticed something strange lately: Chen Tianxi, the heiress of a wealthy family, has become very close to Lin Nian after Lin Nian and her brother broke off their engagement. The two used to be very at odds.

Therefore, many inexplicable rumors began to circulate, the general idea being that Chen Tianxi was a lesbian because he had a crush on Lin Nian, so he could only show disgust towards his future sister-in-law. But since Lin Nian had broken off her engagement with Chen Tianchi, she was now a free person, so Chen Tianxi could confidently and boldly begin to pursue this extremely beautiful girl.

Gossip is just something that's spread all the time, and Chu Nian didn't take it to heart at all. But what she didn't expect was that Chen Tianchi would come to her because of such gossip.

"Do you have time? Let's talk."

As soon as get out of class ended, Chu Nian was planning how to treat her healthy stomach at noon, but she didn't expect to encounter such an annoying scene as soon as she stepped out of the classroom.

Chen Tianchi is blocking the doorway.

Chu Nian said impatiently, "What else is there for us to talk about?"

Seeing that there were still many students at the door, Chen Tianchi suppressed his anger with a dark face and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the coffee shop at the back gate of the school and have a good talk."

Chu Nian said with annoyance, "It's mealtime right now, why are you drinking coffee? Don't you know anything about healthy eating?"

Chen Tianchi looked helpless, but still patiently lowered his voice and said, "Alright, I'll treat you to dinner. I know a good restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good food."

Chu Nian: "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft. I won't go."

Chen Tianchi angrily asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Chu Nian said with a look of horror, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?! This guy's crazy!"

Chen Tianchi: "We have to talk."

Chu Nian: "Alright, just say what you need to say here!"

Chen Tianchi glanced at the students around him and lowered his voice even further: "There are too many people here."

Chu Nian: "I feel more at ease when there are many people around."
