Chapter 1139 My husband is not infatuated with me (17)
In the following time, although some people still found excuses to come and make friends with Yan Cheng, or to inquire about Ju Shichu's background, they were all very sensible. There were no more people like Tang Qin and that young master Gu. After all, everyone was a decent person. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they had to be polite and friendly on the surface.
Ju Shichu originally came with Yan Cheng to see the world and had no intention of taking this opportunity to get involved in the upper-class society. Therefore, after the banquet, when Yan Cheng sent him home, he happily forgot about the banquet.
As for Yan Cheng, I don’t know if this banquet gave him a reason to contact Ju Shichu. He would look for Ju Shichu every few days afterwards, either sending her some seasonal seafood, fruits, vegetables and fine wine, or inviting her to dinner at a newly opened restaurant.
Ju Shichu originally doubted whether he liked her, but Yan Cheng always acted openly and honestly, saying that this was a gift from him to his savior, so Ju Shichu stopped being so self-indulgent.
"My dear daughter, this lobster is longer than my arm, and its claws are almost as big as my palm... My goodness, how many years has it lived?" Mother Ju said in shock as she looked at the big lobster that was sent to her.
Ju Shichu looked at the lively lobster and said, "Mom, it looks so lively, it must be very fresh, let's cook it quickly."
"I'll do it, I'll do it! Such good ingredients can't be ruined by your mother's clumsiness!" Ju's father said excitedly, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the lobster and walked towards the kitchen. In the Ju family, he is the chef most of the time.
Mother Ju glared at his back in an angry tone and said, "You are the best! If the food you cook is not tasty, I will not be polite to you..."
Ju Shichu watched his parents bickering with a smile on his face, thinking that they would have seafood to eat soon, and felt very happy.
Mother Ju began to stare at her, looking her up and down, nodding as she did so. That look actually sent a chill down Ju Shichu's spine.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?" Ju Shichu asked puzzledly.
Mother Ju said meaningfully: "See if you are beautiful and charming enough. After seeing you, I feel that you are indeed worthy of being my biological daughter. You have perfectly inherited my beauty."
When Ju Shichu heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "Mom, how can you be so narcissistic? Are you bragging about yourself?"
"Humph, I'm just telling the truth." Mother Ju rolled her eyes in an indecent manner and then looked at Ju Shichu steadily, "Are you really sure that Mr. Yan only sees you as his savior and only gave you these expensive things every two or three days?"
"Of course, he said so himself, how could it be false?" Ju Shichu answered without hesitation. Seeing that Ju's mother was still skeptical, he continued, "Don't let your imagination run wild. What other reasons could there be? Although your daughter is pretty, who is Yan Cheng? There are so many girls in his circle who are prettier and have better family backgrounds than me. Could he still like me?"
"Why can't he be attracted to you?" Ju's mother said unhappily, "You are talented and beautiful. Although our family is not rich, we live a rich and comfortable life. Why can't he be attracted to you? I think he must have some feelings for you. If he only regards you as his savior, how could he just send you these seafood and fruits from time to time? Why doesn't he just give you a large sum of money as a reward and repay the favor all at once?"
"Maybe this is too much of a nouveau riche act, and it doesn't go in line with his principles of dealing with people. People truly regard me as a benefactor, so naturally they will give me some good things that will truly improve my life." Ju Shichu said as a matter of course.
She has always been very self-aware. Although Yan Cheng is indeed very good-looking and has a first-class family background, his family is really troublesome. Ju Shichu does not like to cause trouble for herself. There are handsome men everywhere, so why should she be obsessed with one? She is very free and easy.
When Ju's mother heard what she said, she rolled her eyes again: "Okay, okay, you can just deceive yourself. Let's see how long you can act like an ostrich. I don't even bother to care about you!"
Ju Shichu picked up the durian from another box with a smile and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. Come and eat the durian. It smells so good!"
The family of three lived in harmony. Chu Shenqi and Furong were no less fortunate. Furong was indeed a senior professional mistress. She didn't spend much effort at all to win over Chu Shenqi. When the two of them got together, it was like a bolt from the blue. Especially Chu Shenqi. He had been married to Mengxi for almost a year, and he had really kept himself clean. Mengxi was the only woman he had ever had.
It's just that he was a man who focused on sex, and he finally persisted for a year. Even though he liked Meng Xi very much, the novelty was almost gone, so he began to miss the original excitement.
And just at this time, Furong, a lively, "pure and innocent" beautiful woman, broke into his life. How could he bear it when he was already restless?
So the man and the concubine were interested in each other, and they hooked up in no time. In order to make it more convenient for their affair, Chu Shenqi bought a house for Furong to accommodate her, and he was truly a beautiful woman in a golden house. His wife Mengxi knew nothing about all this, and thought that her husband was just busy recently and spent less time with her at home. She felt sorry for her husband for this, and she would personally make nourishing soup for Chu Shenqi from time to time. She was very virtuous.
After Furong and Chu Shenqi had been hanging out again, Furong looked at him reluctantly and asked, "Shenqi, are you really going back today? Can't you stay with me?"
Chu Shenqi put on his shirt while touching the top of her head, and comforted her softly, "Be good, I will definitely stay with you next time, but not this time. If you listen, I will have someone send some jewelry for you to choose from, as compensation for you."
Furong said unhappily, "Well, although I like beautiful jewelry very much, I like you more. If possible, I would rather not have any jewelry and stay with you forever..."
When Chu Shenqi heard her words, his heart softened immediately. He thought that this woman really loved him too much. She followed him without asking for anything but for him to spend more time with her. What a pure and sincere love! He felt warm in his heart and his love for Furong deepened.
After sending Chu Shenqi out the door, Furong could not help but roll her eyes as soon as she closed the door. Some men are so narcissistic that they think all women only love him as a person and not his money. They love him so much that they are willing to be his mistress and stay by his side without any status or position...
Why are they so confident? Furong boasted that she had been with no less than a hundred men, but she still couldn't understand their mysterious confidence. However, the more narcissistic they were, the easier it would be for her to succeed. She actually hoped that there would be more men like this.
