Chapter 638 Take that young lady to my villa in the western suburbs!
"Stealing business?" Chen Jing curled his lips with a look of disdain.
"That's nothing." Lin Wanjin changed the subject, revealing an ambiguous smile that every man could understand. "The key point is, that businessman's wife, tsk tsk..."
He deliberately prolonged the sound.
"In my entire life, I've never seen such a beautiful woman. That face, that waist, if she stood there, all the girls in the city would be like weeds on the roadside!"
Chen Jing's eyes lit up.
He licked his lips and became interested: "Oh? Is it really that beautiful?"
"More than just beautiful!" Lin Wanjin continued to exaggerate, "Besides, she's not the kind of lady from a wealthy family who never leaves the house."
"When people show up in public and run their business, they are so hot and charming that most people can't control themselves." This sentence hit Chen Jing's sore spot precisely.
What he likes most is to conquer this thorny rose, especially the one from other people's homes.
Looking at the undisguised lust and possessiveness in Chen Jing's eyes, Lin Wanjin knew that the fish had taken the bait.
Chen Jing patted Lin Wanjin's shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
"Interesting. Uncle Lin, thank you for telling me this news."
Lin Wanjin stood there, looking at Chen Jing's back, a sinister sneer appearing on his face.
Dragon crossing the river?
I want to see, if you can defeat the prefect, can you also defeat his mad dog-like son!
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gave Jinguan City a warm golden edge.
The first day of registration for the Weaver Girl Competition went smoother than expected.
The impact of that box of silver was far more direct than Scarface's threat.
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze were walking on their way back to the courtyard in the south of the city. They stopped just as they reached the entrance of the alley, before entering the courtyard.
Not far away, several people were standing at the gate of the courtyard where they rented.
The leader was a young man in a luxurious moon-white brocade robe, with a jade pendant of excellent quality hanging around his waist. He was waving a sandalwood fan in his hand. He was facing a clump of wild bamboo by the courtyard wall, shaking his head and "appreciating" something.
Behind him were two arrogant servants.
"Sir, look at this bamboo. Although it grows in a humble alley, it climbs higher and higher, which is quite gentlemanly." A servant flattered him.
The young man was waving a folding fan, looking elegant, but his eyes kept glancing towards Chu Ruohan and the others.
Chu Ruohan recognized the material he was wearing. It was the finest brocade in Jinxiu Pavilion. One piece cost nearly a hundred taels, which was not affordable for ordinary wealthy people.
When Chen Jing saw them approaching, he immediately put away his folding fan, put on a gentle and polite smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet them.
When the man saw Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately put away his pretentious attitude and walked quickly towards them.
"I guess this is Madam Chu who organized the Weaving Girl Competition?"
He bowed politely, keeping his posture low, like a modest gentleman.
"My name is Chen Jing, a scholar. I heard that Madam is holding a Weaving Girl Competition here, which is truly a grand event in the art world of Jinguan City. I am eager to see it, so I came to pay you a visit."
His voice was as gentle as jade, and his words were beautiful and appropriate. If you didn't know his background, anyone would think he was a well-educated young man from a noble family.
Chu Ruohan nodded slightly and returned a half-bow, her tone distant yet polite.
"Mr. Chen, you're overly kind. I just wanted to select a good craftsman, it's not a grand event."
"Madam, you are too modest..."
Chen Jing's eyes were surprisingly bright, and compliments flowed out of his mouth as if they were free.
"As a businessman, you behave like a gentleman. Such magnanimity and generosity makes me ashamed. It is a blessing for the people of Jinguan City to welcome a person like you."
As he spoke, his eyes were like hooks, moving back and forth on Chu Ruohan's face, neck, and even slender waist without any hesitation.
It was a greedy, undisguised glance, as if a butcher was looking at a piece of top-notch pork belly, calculating where to cut it to achieve the best taste.
Chu Ruohan had seen a lot of dirty things, and she was very familiar with this look.
She felt nauseous, but a faint smile still hung on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
She pretended not to know and dealt with it calmly.
Gu Junze didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He stood beside Chu Ruohan like a silent iron tower.
The eyes that had seen countless dead people fell calmly on Chen Jing's face.
He could clearly feel the disgusting, rotten possessiveness emanating from the gentle appearance of the man in front of him.
Chen Jing felt a little creepy when he saw that look, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.
He subconsciously glanced at Gu Junze.
He was wearing a simple cloth dress, had a tall and straight figure, but his temperament was as cold as ice.
The man next to her should be someone who knows a little bit of fighting skills.
In his opinion, no matter how capable a businessman is, how much can he be capable of?
He said a few polite words in a self-proclaimed manner, but when he saw that Chu Ruohan still looked lukewarm, he felt that the time was right.
"It's getting late today. I'm sorry for being rude. I'm sorry for disturbing you." Chen Jing bowed again and smiled even more gently.
"Someday, Chen will prepare some wine at the best restaurant in the city to welcome you and this brother. I hope you will both honor me with your presence."
After saying this, he turned around and left with his two servants, his back looking extremely handsome.
It was not until the figures of those people completely disappeared at the entrance of the alley that the polite smile on Chu Ruohan's face instantly disappeared, and there was undisguised disgust in her clear eyes.
"It's disgusting."
Gu Junze reached out and held her slightly cold fingertips.
"This person is more like a poisonous snake than Lin Wanjin." Gu Junze's voice was low and cold.
Lin Wanjin seeks wealth through sinister means, but he does it in the open.
This poisonous snake hides in the dark, spitting out its tongue, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
…
As soon as he walked out of the alley and turned the corner, the gentle and polite mask on Chen Jing's face was completely torn off, replaced by an impatient and lustful look.
The attendant beside him immediately came up to him in a flattering manner.
"Master, that young lady is truly stunning!"
Chen Jing did not answer, but just stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips. The eyes that had just been smiling were now full of burning desire.
He turned around and whispered to another servant, "Have you found out? Who is the man with her?"
The servant quickly bowed and replied, "Sir, we've checked. He's just a foreign merchant, seemingly from the capital. He has no roots, so there's nothing to fear."
"Merchant..." Chen Jing repeated in a low voice, and then laughed. The laughter was full of the satisfaction of being determined to win.
"Okay, great."
His eyes sparkled with excitement.
"This kind of thorny horse is my favorite to ride! It's so exciting!"
He stopped and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he gave a sinister command to his trusted attendant:
"Tonight, let's use 'Three Watches Down'."
"Take that young lady to my villa in the western suburbs!"
"Be careful, don't alarm others, and don't hurt that face."
