A temporary actor hired for 100 yuan!
So, in their eyes, he was so worthless?
A darkness settled deep within Luo Chen's heart.
“This really is your brother-in-law. I just got our marriage certificate a few days ago. Because I’m still studying, we didn’t have a wedding banquet yet. You can ask your brother-in-law if you don’t believe me.” Mo Xiaotuo turned her head and looked at Luo Chen with anticipation.
Faced with such pleading eyes, Luo Chen's heart finally softened.
“Yes, I’m your brother-in-law. I’ve been so busy these past few days. Your sister called me; I just got off the plane,” he said casually.
Mo Xiaotuo, trying her best to cooperate, even took Luo Chen's arm. However, as soon as she got close, she smelled a perfume scent different from before. The smell was a bit unbearable, and she rubbed her nose.
Seeing the two of them standing together, Mo Zhiyan finally smiled.
Luo Chen carefully examined his brother-in-law. Whether it was his eyes, mouth, or his entire face, the two siblings had no resemblance whatsoever. If Mo Xiaotuo hadn't told him that they were siblings, he wouldn't have believed their relationship.
"Hello brother-in-law, my name is Mo Zhiyan. Please be kind to my sister in the future. My sister is a very good person." Mo Zhiyan looked at his brother-in-law with a serious expression. It was an instruction, but it was mixed with some other meaning.
Looking at this so-called brother-in-law, Luo Chen noticed he was clearly shorter than other boys his age, and his complexion was terrible. For some reason, he suddenly felt pity for him, and unusually, he took out a pen, wrote down a number, and handed it over.
"This is my phone number. Call me if you need anything," Luo Chen said expressionlessly.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Overjoyed, Mo Zhiyan actually rushed between the two of them.
Luo Chen was always aloof, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay. However, standing in front of this brother and sister, he found that his aura was completely useless against them.
Seeing that Luo Chen didn't push his younger brother away, Mo Xiaotuo gave him a grateful look.
Afterwards, she comforted her younger brother a few more times. She had originally wanted to come and discuss transferring schools, but now it seemed difficult. She could only write down the phone number of their academic affairs office and call back later to inquire about the required fees.
When she first enrolled, she remembered the teacher saying the tuition was 100,000 yuan a year, and she didn't know if that had changed.
After leaving the school, Luo Chen felt that the place was too remote and unsafe, so he could only be a gentleman and invite the person into the car.
"Where are you going?" he asked coldly.
"Let's go to school... I haven't been there for several days." Mo Xiaotuo felt that she couldn't give up her studies no matter what. After finishing this semester, she could apply for an internship next semester and then she wouldn't have to go to school anymore.
"University A!" Luo Chen gave a location, then leaned back and took out his phone to handle some matters.
Nangong Jiu, who was driving in front, suddenly felt so cheap. The dignified president of Shengfan Hospital was reduced to a driver just to get sponsorships.
Luo Chen's driver has always been a robot; all he needs to know is where to go, and he can't ask anything else.
When the car pulled up at the entrance of University A, Mo Xiaotuo got out and asked, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
She locked him out last night, and today, after helping him out, she asks him if he wants to come home for dinner. Does this woman have to be so materialistic?
Luo Chen angrily spat out two words: "I'm not going back!"
oh!
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Mo Xiaotuo didn't dare to provoke him. She thanked Nangong Jiu and got out of the car, heading straight for the campus.
"Brother Chen, is your sister-in-law's brother sick?" Nangong Jiu asked casually.
"None of you are allowed to interfere in our affairs. Drive!" Luo Chen only wanted to maintain their marital relationship for the time being and didn't want to deal with those trivial matters. He didn't have the time or the inclination.
Nangong Jiu pursed her lips and said again, "Are you pretending to be poor because you're worried that your sister-in-law cares too much about your money?"
Luo Chen neither nodded nor replied; he continued with his work.
Hearing your lack of response, Nangong Jiu felt that her guess was probably right. It seemed that Brother Chen was treating his sister-in-law like a naive and innocent girl. Hopefully, Brother Chen's judgment was correct, otherwise, if he drove his sister-in-law away, Brother Chen's good days would truly be over.
The car pulled up to the company building, and Luo Chen went back to his office, quickly getting into work mode and completely ignoring everyone else.
Meanwhile, in the company's business department, an uninvited guest had been waiting since morning. Upon hearing that Brother Chen was back, the woman immediately clamored to see him.
She took the elevator to the thirtieth floor, where, in addition to Luo Chen's office, there was also the president's office.
The president's office was under Jiang Kai's jurisdiction. When he heard his assistant report that Zhou Tong, that troublesome woman, had come again, he went straight out of his office and stopped her.
"Jiang Kai, what do you mean by this? You know I love Brother Chen, so why won't you let me see him?" Zhou Tong pointed her finger at Jiang Kai and berated him every time he came out to prevent her from seeing her beloved.
Jiang Kai also had a sharp tongue, and he directly uttered five words: "Because you don't deserve it!"
"You! You're nothing but a dog by Brother Chen's side. What right do you have to bark at me!" Zhou Tong didn't know Jiang Kai's true identity. She only knew that Jiang Kai was by Brother Chen's side when Brother Chen started the Chen family business. However, she couldn't stand Jiang Kai's condescending attitude.
"Someone, throw this crazy woman out. If it happens again, have the security department replace her!" Jiang Kai didn't hold back with the woman.
He'd only been lenient with the old lady before because she was his childhood sweetheart. But then he realized the old lady was just putting on an act; she already had a granddaughter-in-law she liked. Now that his sister-in-law had someone else, he wasn't going to tolerate her anymore!
"You dare! I'm Chen-ge's childhood sweetheart!" Zhou Tong deliberately shouted, hoping that Chen-ge in the office would come out and deal with Jiang Kai.
However, there was no sound from Luo Chen's office door, but he did hear Zhou Tong's voice. He had previously thought that having a woman who could please his grandmother meant he wouldn't need to go on blind dates, so he turned a blind eye. Later, his grandmother told him it was just a charade, and she didn't want to worsen the relationship between the two families.
The Zhou family and the Luo family are both among the four major families in City A, and they have always been the strongest business rivals. Now, with the addition of the Chen family, the Zhou family has suffered a lot in the past two years.
He hadn't taken Zhou Tong's persistent pursuit seriously before, but now that he was married, he knew the importance of avoiding suspicion so as not to worry his grandmother.
He tapped the tablet in front of him with his long, slender fingers, revealing a masked man who respectfully said, "Boss, they've started their operation. Should we prepare to stand by?"
"I finally couldn't hold back anymore. Keep an eye on it, we can't let that big fish get away this time." Luo Chen's eyes gleamed with anticipation, and the icy aura emanating from his body intensified.
"Boss, the 'Beauty's Kiss' item has appeared at an underground auction house in R country and will be auctioned tomorrow night. Do you still want it?" the man asked again.
