Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Encountering Splendid Auspiciousness (20)

The forensic scientist would rather hang out with dead bodies than run cases outside, must be full and just looking for something to do.

Yan Yu countered, ”Is that not allowed?”

”Allowed, you can do whatever you want,” Chuzheng said indifferently.

Yan Yu felt that peculiar sensation in the pit of his stomach again.

For some reason, he always felt that the occasional things she said had a hint of indulgence and pampering, which quickened his heartbeat and made his blood surge.

However, reason told Yan Yu that was impossible.

After all, they were still strangers to each other.

The car became suddenly quiet, and no one spoke.

The man quietly looked ahead, and Chuzheng felt as if she could see that hazy mist around him again, isolating him, giving off an extremely unreal feeling.

-

Chuzheng’s car stopped outside the hotel, and Yan Yu asked if he could go with her to get a book.

”You deliberately left the book at my place, what are you trying to do?”

Yan Yu looked natural: ”Miss Jin, I simply forgot.”

Chuzheng glanced at him and pressed the elevator button for her floor.

Chuzheng didn’t let Yan Yu enter, she just took the book and gave it to him.

”Thank you for the ride today, Miss Jin. I wonder if you are free next weekend?” Yan Yu took the book but didn’t leave; instead, he stood at the door and chatted with Chuzheng.

”Is there something?”

”I’d like to treat Miss Jin to a simple meal,” Yan Yu said, his eyes deep with intent. ”Do you have time?”

The Good Person Card is asking me out to eat...

I don’t really want to go. Can’t we just sit in the hotel and have a happy chat? I want to touch his hair... I’ve never found the opportunity to do it, and it’s making me mad.

But then there’s the invitation from the Good Person Card.

Good Person Card, Good Person Card... Good person, good person!

”Hmm,” trying hard to be a good person every day.

Yan Yu’s mouth curved into a smile: ”Once the time is set, I’ll let Miss Jin know.”

Chuzheng nodded.

Yan Yu’s eyes seemed to light up with a smile, and the background behind him started to fade away: ”Have a good night, Miss Jin, and sweet dreams,” he said.

-

Yan Yu returned to his room, set the book down, poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and switched on the tablet beside him.

The tablet displayed surveillance footage.

The footage showed Chuzheng’s room, with the camera angled towards the sofa, some distance from the bed.

But clearly, someone was by the bed. Yan Yu could only see a pair of delicate feet hanging off the side, going up to long, straight legs, and then out of the frame, unseen.

The image stayed there.

Despite no change, Yan Yu watched intently.

In his mind, Yan Yu conjured up the image of her lying on the autopsy table, yet it wasn’t gory, but rather...

Yan Yu set the tablet down and hurried into the bathroom.

The next day.

Yan Yu opened his eyes, revealing some redness as if he didn’t sleep well.

He glanced under the covers and frowned slightly.

After changing clothes, he turned on the tablet to look.

The image was still from yesterday’s position, but this time someone was sitting on the sofa.

The girl also seemed to have just woken up, her pajamas disheveled. In the footage, one could clearly see the girl’s exposed collarbone and the faint outline of curves.

She was sitting on the sofa with one leg slightly bent, the other rested on the coffee table.

The position was somewhat indecent, yet her languid and cool demeanor prevented one from thinking her posture was improper.

Yan Yu’s fingertips hovered over the image of the girl’s face, gently touching it, his eyes brimming with mischief: ”Good morning.”

-

Chuzheng knew that Yan Yu had installed surveillance in her room, so she had to be mindful of her words and actions, which was very tiring. After kicking Wan Xiaoxiao out of the office, she slumped alone in the office.

”Bastard, why won’t he let me buy a house?”

Chuzheng muttered to herself.

Because of the Good Person Card being there, was it on purpose?

Bastard, this damn mutt!

Who exactly is his host?

Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Could it be that the Good Person Card was actually the host of that bastard? Bastard definitely knew who the Good Person Card was...

She had to find a way to draw it out.

Chuzheng thought it over, then turned to pick up her phone. She browsed online for housing listings and haphazardly chose a location, instructing Wan Xiaoxiao to go buy a house.

Wan Xiaoxiao: ”...”

What exactly is her role as an assistant?

Just as Wan Xiaoxiao stepped out of the office, questioning her life choices, a loud commotion suddenly came from the elevator area.

A woman disregarded the attempts to stop her and headed straight for their side.

The woman’s voice was extremely loud, piercing and grating.

”Where is Jin Chuzheng?!”

”Let her come out, what are you blocking me for? Today I’m going to let you all see what kind of person she is. Move aside, move aside!”

The woman was unreasonable and scratched anyone who approached.

”Jin Chuzheng, you shameless woman, come out if you dare! Why are you hiding?!”

The woman shouted loudly, occasionally interjecting curses.

”Who is this?” Wan Xiaoxiao asked someone nearby.

”I don’t know, but she’s looking for President Jin, and we can’t stop her.” Those who worked there were mostly pampered city folks, unaccustomed to such scenes.

”Jin Chuzheng, come out!” The woman continued to howl, ”You dare to seduce men and kick my son to the curb, yet you don’t have the guts to face me.”

The woman’s words immediately stirred up a tempest.

And led everyone to guess her identity.

They had heard that President Jin once had a boyfriend.

But they had abruptly split up not long ago.

Just a few days after the breakup, President Jin had suddenly become the boss of the company.

The woman causing the scene now was undoubtedly that ex-boyfriend’s mother.

-

Chuzheng could hear the noise outside from her office. She didn’t want to deal with it and covered her ears, pretending to be dead on the desk.

But the noise only got louder.

And it was getting closer to the office.

Chuzheng could still hear the woman’s sharp and shrill curses even with her ears covered.

She took a deep breath, abruptly stood up, and the chair slid backward, hitting the cabinet behind with a bang.

Fury was evident all over the girl.

She opened the door and went out.

The commotion outside instantly subsided.

The office corridor was in chaos, with people grasping the woman’s arms, the scene looking almost comical.

When Chuzheng stepped out, her imposing aura was so strong that no one dared to make a sound.

Even the woman appeared subdued.

Chuzheng moved to the side, dragged over a chair, and sat down decisively.

”What’s going on? Can’t people... work in peace in the morning!”

The crowd: ”...”

They had never seen the boss actually work.

The woman shook off the people holding her and pointed at Chuzheng, ”You shameless woman, fooling around with another man, kicking away my son, and now you still won’t leave him alone. How can you be so malevolent!”

”Malevolent?” Chuzheng rested her hands on her knees, looking over with clear and calm eyes, ”Tell me, how am I malevolent?”

”You and that adulterer of yours ganged up to bully my son, you even beat him. Tell me, aren’t you malevolent?” Mrs. Xiao’s face, sharp and sour, was full of rage at this moment.

”I knew you weren’t the settling type, always out early and back late. My son used to say you were busy with work. Looks like you were busy in someone else’s bed,” she accused.

”How many years were you with my son? For money, you dumped him just like that. Now you’re sitting in a big office, commanding so many people—is it not all because you slept your way here?”
