Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Pure Jade Idol Is Not to Be Provoked 15

“Xiao Chen, Dad wants to borrow some money from you,” he rubbed his hands, looking extremely embarrassed and somewhat simple and honest, like a middle-aged man forced to swallow his pride for something, “Xiao Bo is preparing to get married, and we’re a bit short on money for the house. No matter what, he’s your brother. Dad’s not asking for it, just borrowing some to settle Xiao Bo’s big life event first.”

Ah Chen smiled faintly, “I’m a very jealous person, possessive. Do you know why I ignored Mom for over ten years?”

“It’s because she answered Su Yuixin’s call.”

“You’re my biological father, right? And yet you dare to mention another child in front of me, even helping him borrow money,” Ah Chen let out a soft laugh, but it carried a cold undertone, “It’s really so enviable.”

“After you divorced Mom, you didn’t care at all, and now you’re coming to borrow money for that child, my anger is about to boil over.”

“Why did you neglect me but worry about him so much?”

Ah Chen’s beautiful eyes fixed on Zhao Peijun, she said lightly, “Kind of makes me want him to disappear!”

“With all my money, making someone disappear without a trace, wouldn’t it be quite easy?”

“If you want to ask me for money, why not use it to hire a hitman and get rid of him.”

“Ha, as long as he disappears, you won’t come to me for money because of him ever again.”

Ah Chen’s face broke into a cheerful smile, but it frightened Zhao Peijun so much that his face turned pale, his limbs became stiff, and he forgot to react for a moment.

“Clearly, we are both your children, yet you only think of him.”

“To prevent such things from happening, he can only not exist.”

Ah Chen’s smile suddenly vanished as she slung her basket over her shoulder and passed by Zhao Peijun with a cold expression.

A chilling wind blew past, waking Zhao Peijun from his stupor. He looked at Ah Chen with fearful eyes, but he still hurried to catch up: “No, Xiao Chen, please don’t hurt Xiao Bo. I won’t borrow money, I won’t ask you for money. As long as you don’t hurt Xiao Bo, I will never appear in front of you again.”

Xiao Chen just now was really too terrifying. He felt she could actually do such a thing.

Everyone else says she’s a goddess, pure and good.

No, they were all deceived by her.

All deceived by her.

She’s obviously ruthless, cold, and frightening, just wearing a mask of being well-behaved.

Ah Chen turned back with a faint smile on her face, making Zhao Peijun feel terrified, not daring to get too close.

“Xiao Chen, don’t hurt Xiao Bo. I won’t ask you for money, okay?” he pleaded.

This time he truly looked a bit pitiful.

She could actually hire someone to kill, he thought to himself.

“You treat him so well.” Ah Chen said with an envious tone, “So well it makes me jealous.”

Zhao Peijun opened his mouth, looking utterly flustered.

What to do?

“Mom treats me just as well.” Ah Chen’s face blossomed into a radiant smile, “For Mom’s sake, I won’t quarrel with you this time.”

She leaned in slightly, kindly advising, “The people of your Zhao Family should stay out of my way, or else if Zhao Hongbo suddenly disappears, I wouldn’t know either. After all, those who do things for money are very capable, they have all sorts of ways.”

“If you’re really scared, you could report to the police,” Ah Chen sincerely suggested, “But I haven’t done anything, they’ll only think you have paranoia. If it happens often, no one will believe you and will think you’re ill. Me, I’m your biological daughter after all, and it would be reasonable to send you to a mental hospital. You know, some private mental hospitals are very dark, once you go in, you can’t come out.”

Zhao Peijun was so scared his legs went weak, he believed her.

Nowadays, society looks clean on the surface, but who knows how many horrors are hidden underneath, he constantly scrolls through short videos about such happenings.

“I’m leaving.”

With that, Ah Chen’s figure gradually faded away.

Once she completely disappeared, Zhao Peijun’s legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.

Early the next morning.

The program team came to pick up the two of them.

Passing by the Zhao Family, Ah Chen noticed them quickly hiding inside, laughed at their position, and the frightened Zhao Peijun, who didn’t hide in time, felt his heart skip a beat.

“What’s Teacher Xiao Chen laughing about?”

Ah Chen said to the camera: “Thought of something nice, makes me happy.”

“Can you share it?”

“It’s too nice to share,” Ah Chen smiled faintly, taking a cucumber from her basket, “But I can share the cucumbers and tomatoes my mom personally grew.”

[Looks good, can I have one? I’m a Chen fan, give it to me first!]

[I’m a member.]

[The esteemed big member is here, everyone else back off, be sensible and hand it over.]

The four groups of guests finally met one by one, greeting each other.

Ah Chen: “Hello, Teacher Shi.”

Shi Wei maintained his usual serious face, his tone warm as always, greeting people: “Hello.”

He sat there, appearing unchanged, yet the moment he saw her, his heart couldn’t help but race.

“Sister Chenchen!” Shi Xiao jumped in front of Ah Chen, holding a long box, “I prepared a gift for you.”

He actually knew Sister Chenchen had already seen it, but he could pretend he didn’t know, after all, Sister Chenchen said to act like she didn’t know what the gift was.

Ah Chen opened the box, inside was a sword, her brows arched in surprise: “Thank you, it’s a beautiful sword, I really like it.”

“No one has given me a gift like this before, so I decided to teach you a few moves, want to learn?”

Shi Xiao joyfully jumped up, quickly grabbing his own little sword, looking all ready.

Shi Wei looked at the big and small pair indifferently, feeling a bit sour without realizing it.

What’s so good about a noisy, mischievous kid like Shi Xiao, he’s just a little brat in need of a spanking, only she has the patience.

Ah Chen set the sword aside.

Xuan Yanrui approached her and politely greeted her: “Hello, Senior Sister.”

“Junior Brother Xuan.” Ah Chen nodded lightly, showing no sign of rejection.

Xuan Yanrui’s smile stiffened, this wasn’t what he expected, he instinctively said: “I thought Senior Sister wouldn’t pay attention to me anymore.”

As soon as he said it, he regretted it, he shouldn’t have said that.

But he quickly calmed down, this might not be a bad way to start a topic.

Back then, without evidence about that glass of wine, Ah Chen couldn’t prove anything.

If she were to mention the issue with the wine, it might stir up a lot of trouble, involving many bothersome affairs.

Xuan Yanrui’s eyes deepened, as a public figure, attention equals money.

Now isn’t the time for him to worry, it’s how Du Chen will respond to this question; if she makes a mistake, it could be unfavorable for her.

A spotless image isn’t always beneficial.

No matter how Du Chen answers, the camera will focus on him.

[Eh, is there some hidden story?]

[Sounds like there’s a story, what did Xuan Yanrui do to make him think Chenchen wouldn’t talk to him?]

[Probably not a big deal, otherwise would Xiao Xuan be so calm? Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between senior sister and junior brother.]

[Indeed.]

Ah Chen said, “A smiling person shouldn’t be hit, if I ignore Junior Brother Xuan, those unaware might say I’m rude. You can’t joke about your career; you have to keep up appearances outside. Personal matters are personal, work is work, and when we come here, we ought to work seriously.”

Xuan Yanrui was taken aback, never expecting such a response from her.

Now the camera focused on him, but it wasn’t that favorable for him.

Rather, Du Chen’s response would probably earn her a lot of fans.

Just as he thought, some casual viewers found her quite interesting.

[Xuan Yanrui is a bit scheming.]

[Facing such schemingness, Du Chen’s response actually made me feel quite satisfied.]

[Brother Shi, there’s actually someone more proper than you.]

[Haha, Brother Shi is watching, and taking it quite seriously.]
