Chapter 7 The Value of Time



"Giggle!"

"Giggle!"

When Zhan Xiuchen returned to Baiyu Palace from the Presidential Palace, he heard a piercing sound.

Zhan Xiuchen frowned.

What is that sound?

Before I could even react, a blur flashed past my eyes!

The next second, an old hen landed on Zhan Xiuchen's head.

"Giggle! Giggle!"

The hen was able to stand on the president's head; at that moment, her chicken life had reached its peak! She crowed even more joyfully!

Zhan Xiuchen's face darkened.

He reached out and, with lightning speed, snatched the hen from above his head.

"Giggle!"

The old hen flapped her wings frantically.

Meanwhile, the butler and servants rushed over, looking panicked!

God knows!

Who exactly is this so-called lady brought by the president?

I have no idea where they got these two old hens!

When has this Jade Palace ever had a live hen?

The servants didn't know where to put them, so they could only temporarily leave them in the garden outside the villa.

Unexpectedly, a hen broke free of the straw rope and flew around everywhere.

They searched for ages but couldn't catch him!

It actually flew right onto the president's head!

The stench emanating from the old hen reached Zhan Xiuchen's nostrils.

Zhan Xiuchen's expression grew even more grim, as if a storm was brewing!

Its aura, which sends shivers down your spine, spreads into the hearts of everyone!

Just then, a figure rushed out.

At that time, I thought of it.

Shi Nian was stunned by what she saw.

“My grandfather asked me to bring this to you. It’s grown on our own millet, very nutritious…” Shi Nianyue said, her voice getting lower and lower.

She had a vague feeling that the hen she brought might have caused trouble.

“I’m sorry…” Shi Nian’s thick eyelashes trembled slightly on her eye sockets: “It’s my fault for not watching it properly.”

Zhan Xiuchen remained silent until his tense facial features softened.

Then, almost without warning, Zhan Xiuchen suddenly smiled.

He may appear cold and ruthless, but when he smiles, there's a gentle warmth to it.

However, the laughter sounded particularly abrupt in the oppressive atmosphere.

Everyone was taken aback.

Shi Nian also looked up at Zhan Xiuchen in surprise.

Zhan Xiuchen said gently, his lips brushing against Shi Nian's ear: "I'm usually very busy with work and rarely see small animals. This little animal is quite cute."

As they spoke, the hand that was about to strangle the old hen loosened considerably.

The old hen seized the opportunity and frantically flapped her wings again.

Chicken feathers flew everywhere instantly.

Zhan Xiuchen's brows furrowed subconsciously, but relaxed again after touching Shi Nian's tense expression.

The servants were dumbfounded!

What's wrong, Mr. President?

I was about to get angry when I saw this old hen just a second ago!

What's wrong now...?

Shi Nian was also somewhat confused.

Uh... cute little animals?

Are old hens considered cute little animals?

The old hen in the eyes of the powerful and wealthy is different from the old hen in the eyes of the slum dwellers.

........

Afterwards, Shi Nian gave the eggs she brought to Zhan Xiuchen.

Zhan Xiuchen had seen eggs.

But I've never seen eggs packed one after another in a plastic bucket.

Zhan Xiuchen's expression was complicated, very complicated.

Seeing Zhan Xiuchen staring at it, Shi Nian thought that Zhan Xiuchen didn't know how an egg could fit into such a small opening.

She poked at the bottom right of the plastic bucket and explained, "There's a hole cut here to put the eggs in. That's how we put eggs where we're from."

As they spoke, Shi Nian took out an egg: "This egg is especially good, especially nutritious, especially..."

The sound cut out.

Shi Nian could no longer continue to be "special".

That's when she noticed that the egg she took out had a huge clump of chicken droppings sticking to it.

Shi Nian: "......."

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The butler standing to the side had black lines appearing on his forehead!

What on earth is this woman doing?!

It's an old hen again!

Eggs covered in chicken droppings again!

What is the White Jade Palace now?!

Farmhouse breeding farm?

Just then, a servant rushed over, bent down, and whispered something in Zhan Xiuchen's ear.

Zhan Xiu's expression darkened.

Zhan Pingting has arrived.

His half-sister.

Zhan Xiuchen stood up and looked at the butler: "Take Madam to see the bedroom prepared for her first."

The housekeeper was unaware of Zhan Pingting's arrival.

When Zhan Xiuchen was dismissed, he thought that the egg stained with chicken droppings had finally displeased the president.

So after leading the way up the Roman spiral staircase, the butler spoke up: "Although you are the lady the master brought back, I still want to tell you that this is a wealthy area, not a slum."

"So please don't bring those unsavory things from the slums here. It will only make you look vulgar, crude, and worthless, madam. Please remember that!"

The butler emphasized the last three words.

A hint of disdain flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

That's the innate sense of superiority that people from wealthy areas have over those from slums.

Shi Nian suddenly stopped walking: "Are there young women in your wealthy neighborhood?"

The butler paused for a moment, then said, "Of course."

Shi Nian said calmly, "Since you think people from the wealthy neighborhood are superior, why didn't your husband bring back the young women from the wealthy neighborhood, but instead brought me back?"
