Chapter 149:
No Matter What You Are Still The Young Master Of The Nan Family, Could You Please Have A Bit Of Dignity.
They were all luxurious cars, but she felt that none of them could hold a candle to this car's style.
Xu Jiaojiao was a trendy lady and knew the latest style for all the aspects of jewelry, luxury brands, as well as luxury cars. Although she could not afford them, she loved to look at them and had a broad knowledge of them. In addition to finding a good job, her biggest goal was to enter the circle of rich people. Get to know young leaders, and head towards the pinnacle of life.
As for this Grand Cherokee, she also had an inkling of its actual price. She knew it was not as expensive as the cars that she often saw at the school gate, but it gave out a vibe that it was more stylish than those cars.
Not long after, she saw the car door being opened. A long leg stretched out of the car and the length of the trousers was just right, the shoe was exquisite as well.
She then saw an elegant and extravagant looking man coming out of the car. His figure was taller than the car, and his well-defined long fingers grasped on the door frame. Even a slight push by him was enough to shut the car door.
He then walked around the front of the car and proceeded to open the front passenger's door. Lin Chu then came down from the car.
Xu Jiaojiao then knew that this elegant man was Yan Beicheng.
Last time because of Lin Chu's exposure, Yan Beicheng had also appeared in the media. Though the media was quite afraid of his status and identity, therefore they did not dare to fully publish his identity. His facial features were still identifiable in them, but they were not at all distinctive.
At this time, Xu Jiaojiao was still able to recognize him right away.
As she saw Lin Chu going down the car, she was holding hands with Yan Beicheng. It looked as if they were used to doing so countless times, it seemed so natural and they could not care less if people were looking.
When they were walking towards the company, Yan Beicheng suddenly turned around and looked.
Xu Jiaojiao was surprised by this and guiltily hid again in the blink of an eye. She had no clue whether or not Yan Beicheng had seen her.
Normally Yan Beicheng would not have gotten off the car, as Lin Chu did not want to be too high-profile. But at noon today, Lin Chu told him about Xu Jiaojiao coming over to find her. Yan Beicheng was afraid that Xu Jiaojiao would return to bother her. Hence, he personally sent her back into the company so he could be assured.
After a while, Xu Jiaojiao saw Yan Beicheng coming out of the company building and entered his car again.
She was reluctant to look too much at him until the car was gone from sight.
Such an exquisite looking man, she had never seen one before in her whole lifetime. In the future, she felt that she must also find such an outstanding man for herself.
...
Lin Chu still had not noticed that Xu Jiaojiao had secretly been watching Yan Beicheng from a hidden spot. When she was getting off work and was leaving the company building however, she saw the familiar car on the side of the road.
Just as she was walking towards it, she then heard the annoying voice calling out, "Big Sister!'
Lin Chu then frowned her eyebrows and saw Xu Jiaojiao coming out of nowhere.
This time, it was not as loud and noisy as in the afternoon. Her voice was lowered down as well."Big Sister, just have a chat with me. I don't want to argue outside as well. I know this will affect your image as well. You don't want to be embarrassed as well, right?"
If she knew it was bad for her image, why did she do such a thing at noon just now?
Lin Chu looked at her coldly."If you want to talk, then I'll make it clear right now. I don't know what you mother-daughter duo actually want from me. Madam Dai just told me yesterday that she wasn't planning to acknowledge me as her own, she just wanted to take a look and check if I'm living well. Today you come running here and tell me that she's suffering, and attempted to threaten me by being loud and obnoxious just so that I'll acknowledge you two. But why? Except for our bloodline, what else do we share together? Is it because I'm living well now and it made you guys so unhappy, that you just had to come and disturb my life?
"You want to threaten me, is that it? Then I'll tell you right now, I'm not scared of any threats. I'm not a stranger to being on the news, and I've heard so many good and bad rumors about me. Nowadays, not many people don't know of me anymore, adding you to the bunch doesn't matter much to me. The Yan Family won't reject me as their own because of this, the elders in the Yan Family are all very understanding of my situation.
"I'm not the one in the wrong anyway, you'll be the ones being condemned and no one would blame me for this. If you want to cause a scene then please continue doing so, if you want to lose face I'm not going to stop you. Just because of what you're doing now, why'd I ever acknowledge you guys? Do we even have any emotional foundation or mutual affection between us?
"A person that had thrown me away as a baby, now wants me to recognize her just by saying a few words and still thinks that she is being reasonable? This kind of one attack at a time, are there other meanings to your words that are currently contradicting each other?"
Xu Jiaojiao seemed to have been stunned by Lin Chu's words, her lips trembled as she spoke, "But... but I'm innocent! I had no idea. Big Sister, how could you say that to me? Have you never thought that I sincerely wanted to have a big sister? When mom told me that I had a big sister, I was ecstatic and really wanted to come and look for you. Mom felt really guilty, but she still wanted to look for you as well. At the time we didn't know you're living so well and wanted to do everything in our power to compensate you.
"The thing of the past was not my fault and I don't care whether or not you're rich now. You're my biological sister. You didn't know when I discovered that mom had found you, how happy I was. You don't know how excited I was to look for you, but you're not even willing to acknowledge me. I'm innocent in this, why are you not even willing to acknowledge me?"
"How quick of you to completely disregard your own mother, why? Is it because she's obstructing your future prospects?" Lin Chu looked at her in irony.
Xu Jiaojiao began to feel suffocated, it was as if Lin Chu had seen right through her. She felt shivers running down her spine.
"In this matter, I know that you're innocent. If you really did like me from the bottom of your heart, you should've come by in a low-profile way and talked to me nicely. Not attempt to make me look guilty in a crowded place, and even threatened me. I wouldn't have ignored you. It's just that Xu Jiaojiao—" Lin Chu pointed at her own eyes."A person's eyes are able to detect a lot of things. You're unable to hide your emotions well enough, you're not here because you want a sister and I'm able to see that."
Xu Jiaojiao's face went pale and she immediately tried to regain her composure, but it was all seen through by Lin Chu.
She then grinned."The real reason why you want me to acknowledge you as my sister is what you'll gain from this, you know that the most."
"You're right, I want you to help me out. I have a big sister that I can rely on, is that wrong? My dad isn't reliable, and my mom isn't either. I watch as my classmates have families that had the ability to support them, but I have no one to rely on. When I found out that your life's so great, I thought that I have such a capable sister, why should I be afraid of the future? I just wanted to have one person that I can rely on, and one person that would plan my future with me. Is that so wrong? You're my big sister, shouldn't you think about me as well? Since you have the ability to do so, why aren't you helping me? I'm your little sister, I haven't done anything wrong towards you and I don't owe you anything, " Xu Jiaojiao said as she tried to grab on Lin Chu's arm.
In the end, a big hand came out unexpectedly to block her off immediately. The hand grabbed on to her wrist and flung down to another side.
Xu Jiaojiao was almost thrown to the ground, she stumbled back a couple of steps and her body swayed for a while before she could regain her balance.
Once she took a closer look, it was Yan Beicheng that had suddenly shown up.
When Yan Beicheng saw that Lin Chu was confronted by Xu Jiaojiao he came down from the car, but there were too many cars passing by and nobody was letting him cross. When the cars saw someone crossing the road, they accelerated even faster than before. They would not slow down and let pedestrians cross the road.
Therefore, Yan Beicheng had been waiting for a long time, he even charged ahead during the red light and stopped in the middle of the road a couple of times. He ignored the danger and was finally able to cross the road.
Once he shook off Xu Jiaojiao, he took out a plain square men's handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hand with it, as if Xu Jiaojiao was dirty.
Xu Jiaojiao watched his little movements and felt her face getting hot. It was embarrassing for her.
She just could not bear to be mad at Yan Beicheng's fresh and elegant face.
She walked over again with her flushed face and looked up at Yan Beicheng. There was a boy that was chasing her at school, he said that that was her best looking expression. That was why he was attracted to her.
There was even a time when she inadvertently heard several boys that had gathered together to comment on the girls in the department, one of them commented that when she showed this expression, it made him feel like he wanted to just press her down and f*ck her there.
It was just that she had forgotten Yan Beicheng and those boys were not on the same level. Yan Beicheng had seen a lot more. All types of beautiful girls had tried to stick themselves to him. Even those that had gone under the knife, they were just drop dead gorgeous with perfect facial features. Even if it was no longer natural, but one could not deny the beauty of after being sculpted.
Not forgetting to mention that the temperaments of these women were all different. Some of them were charming, some were cool and some were gentle-natured, and each of them was someone that Xu Jiaojiao could not compete with her level of IQ.
As for the boys in the university, they had not seen much of the world. They had only seen the girls at school, hence their standards were limited.
Therefore, Xu Jiaojiao's move looked ridiculous in Yan Beicheng's eyes.
"Bro... Brother-in-law, you're my brother-in-law right?" Xu Jiaojiao said as she made a shy and astonished expression. She even mustered up her courage and tried to grab Yan Beicheng's sleeve.
At noon today when she was hiding from him, she had already seen him once. She was not expecting him to look even better up close. She had never seen anyone looking that good in a suit before. The teachers at school were also wearing them, but there was a big difference, whether it was due to the suit itself or their temperaments causing it.
Her fingertips have yet to touch his sleeves, yet Yan Beicheng already pulled away. He even pulled Lin Chu with him to take a step back.
He looked at her with disgust."What a shameful person, putting their hands on men so casually. She even went ahead and self-proclaimed me as her brother-in-law. What brother-in-law, sister-in-law are you blathering about, it's so filthy and vile!"
Xu Jiaojiao, "..."
Xu Jiaojiao did intend to get closer to Yan Beicheng and attempted to use the brother-in-law and sister-in-law relationship to gain pity from Yan Beicheng. Just so that he put in a good word to Lin Chu for her, but she was intending to seduce him!
Perhaps, there was a little bit of desire in her. There was just this miserable wrench inside her of her selfish heart.
The things that Lin Chu was able to do, why could she not do them as well?
Although, she was still sensible about the whole thing. She really had no further desire to actually seduce Yan Beicheng. If she mended her relationship with Lin Chu, she could just introduce her to another man anyway.
Therefore, in Xu Jiaojiao's heart, she still believed that her intentions were pure.
Who knew that when Yan Beicheng opened his mouth, such harshness would come out!
Xu Jiaojiao then put on a terrible, pitiful expression.
"No, I'm Lin Chu's little sister!" Xu Jiaojiao said pitifully.
"Lin Chu doesn't have a sister." Yan Beicheng sneered."Don't bully her just because she's an orphan. Just about every single rat are trying to take advantage of her as relatives. Lin Chu is an orphan and this is an open fact. You can't just come here and ask her to acknowledge you. How shameless, you're a joke to others."
Yan Beicheng deliberately spoke those words loudly, so that everyone around them could hear everything clearly, and it gave them a feeling of sudden realization of what was happening.
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned by his words, her face turned from flushed to pale and pale to flush again."No, I'm really—"
Her words were then forcibly cut off by Yan Beicheng's cold stare.
Yan Beicheng's expression was filled with disgust that Xu Jiaojiao somehow could not say anything. She felt as if her legs had grown roots to the ground, and her chest went cold.
After Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu had crossed the road and entered the car, Xu Jiaojiao then recovered her composure.
She then stomped her legs in full force and suddenly, "Waaa—" she let out a loud cry, "I'm her sister. I'm really her little sister. Why aren't you guys acknowledging me, why! I am her little sister! She's living so well now and doesn't want to acknowledge me!"
At this time, an ordinary silver-colored Mazda stopped at the roadside. Zhu Hexuan and a cameraman came down from the car. They saw Xu Jiaojiao who was still crying on the side of the road, the cameraman nodded and they both went over to her.
"Hi there, I'm a reporter from Jing Jin Daily, " Zhu Hexuan said as she placed the microphone directly near Xu Jiaojiao's mouth."I heard that you're Lin Chu's little sister, coming here to acknowledge her as a relative?"
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Zhu Hexuan and then looked at the cameraman. Zhu Hexuan then continued, "We received a call from onlookers just now, can you tell us what's going on?"
Xu Jiaojiao opened her mouth and said, "I don't want to show my face on TV."
Zhu Hexuan then nodded at the cameraman, and the cameraman then put down the camera.
Zhu Hexuan also took her microphone away and changed it to a voice recorder instead."It's quite late, why don't you let me buy you dinner. Let's talk over a meal instead."
...
Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu were back in Ding City. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a pair of men's leather shoes at the entrance.
"There's a visitor?" Yan Beicheng asked Aunt Zhuang.
"Young Master Nan is here, " Aunt Zhuang said with a smile.
As long as Nan Jingheng appeared anywhere, it would get livelier.
Yan Beicheng, "..."
"Brother Beicheng, sister-in-law!" Nan Jingheng saw Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu coming into the living room, and he immediately raised his hand to say hello.
Chu Xi that had grown even bigger with its fur that had recently been groomed was being smothered by Nan Jingheng in between his knees. He was even exerting all of his strength to rub its hairy head, causing all its fur to get twisted and messy.
Chu Xi gave out an ignominious expression on its face and incessantly tried to frolic about. It was a pity Chu Xi was a gentle husky, and it would never bite anyone. It could only squirm around with his paws and tried to twist and turn its buttocks and waist. It was struggling badly and looked extremely pitiful.
As she watched Chu Xi tossing and turning, Lin Chu began to feel bad about it. But, Nan Jingheng was a friend of Yan Beicheng, and she was not able to speak up.
However, Yan Beicheng saw the distressed expression on Lin Chu's face and clicked his tongue at Nan Jingheng."Why don't you let Chu Xi go."
Nan Jingheng actually listened to Yan Beicheng's words and rubbed Chu Xi's head a couple more times before loosening up his knees.
Chu Xi, "Awooooo!"
You just wait, I would be back for you!
After the threat, it was scared that Nan Jingheng would seize it again. Chu Xi then used its abnormal flexibility to make its way underneath the coffee table and went out from under it. When it saw Lin Chu, its tail turned into something akin to a helicopter propeller. It then stood up to be in Lin Chu's arms.
It was taller now, once it stood up it was able to reach Lin Chu's lower abdomen. The sly dog's head then rubbed itself against Lin Chu's lower abdomen, its forehead was bumping and rubbing itself onto her continuously.
Yan Beicheng saw this and his whole face turned gloomy. Fortunately, Chu Xi was a female. Otherwise, he would have dragged her aside to teach it a lesson.
Lin Chu then tried to smooth out its fur that was messed up by Nan Jingheng and gave Chu Xi a few kisses on its wet nose.
Chu Xi wanted to continue being spoiled, though Yan Beicheng that was standing at the side was already at the end of his tether, and let out a cough. Chu Xi immediately quivered and stood on its four paws. It then tried to win the favor of Yan Beicheng by wagging its tail beside his leg and rubbed against it a few times. Afterward, it was perceptive enough to stop before going too far and went straight to its dog bowl.
"Why did you suddenly come over, and did not bother to call us?" Yan Beicheng asked as he looked at Nan Jingheng who was sitting on the sofa and eating yogurt.
When Yan Ningbai came over to play last time, Lin Chu had specially prepared for Yan Ningbai some juice, yogurt drinks, and yogurt. It was left in the refrigerator as he had not finished it.
A 29-year-old man, actually having a similar palate as a 7-year-old child.
"Didn't I meet sister-in-law last time?" Nan Jingheng bowed his head shyly."We didn't have the time to chat. Today I had free time so I came over, and I also wanted to try some of the sister-in-law's craftsmanship."
"In this house, Aunt Zhuang does all the cooking, " Yan Beicheng said with a stoic expression.
Nan Jingheng, "..."
"If there's nothing please go back home and have your meal there." Yan Beicheng shot a glance at him and turned around walking towards the door, to open the door for Nan Jingheng.
Nan Jingheng walked slowly towards him and leaped, he then held onto Yan Beicheng's arm and dragged him back."There's something, there's really something going on. I only came over because there's an important matter, please don't kick me out!"
Lin Chu, "..."
No matter what you are still the young master of the Nan Family, could you please have a bit of dignity, and try to display yourself as a high-born youngster!
Yan Beicheng did not really want to chase him away, but Nan Jingheng was a little bit of a miserable wretch. He was easily taken advantage of since he was a child up until now. The two's interactions had always been this way.
Every single time he was disregarded by Yan Beicheng, Nan Jingheng still appeared to be happy. He was a complete masochist.
"I'll go ahead and cook something, will be done in a jiffy." Lin Chu smiled.
Every day before they reached home, Aunt Zhuang would have prepared all the ingredients that were needed for dinner. Lin Chu would just need to come back and cook them, so it would be a fast process.
After 20 minutes, Lin Chu had finished preparing dinner and carried them to the dining table with Aunt Zhuang.
As everyone sat down, Yan Beicheng then looked at Nan Jingheng."What's the matter?"
"Someone gave Jing Jin Daily a call today, they said the sister-in-law was confronted by a girl at the main entrance of the company. They said that the girl was her little sister, and she was not acknowledging her mother and sister or something of that sort. Jing Jin Daily had sent a reporter to follow up with the story, " Nan Jingheng said.
Lin Chu was stunned by this, that thing just happened today and it has already spread this fast. Who on earth was so well-informed.
After being stunned for a bit, Lin Chu quickly thought of Lu Weining.
What shocked her, even more, was the fact that Nan Jingheng actually knew and he came over early to report to then so that they were able to respond quickly.
"His family's involved in media, " Yan Beicheng explained as he handed over some pickled pepper tofu to Lin Chu.
With Nan Jingheng's identity and his family elders living in the same area as the two elders of the Yan Family, his family might not be simple.
Judging from his surname Nan, Lin Chu only took a while to figure it out."Nan Yin Media?"
Nan Yi Media was the first media company in the country. The title tycoon of the media industry could only be held by the Old Master Nan. If that was the case, Nan Jingheng's ability to receive news so quickly would be no surprise.
As she watched Yan Beicheng nod, Nan Jingheng straightened his posture."Sister-in-law, this meal you're treating me will not be wasted!"
Lin Chu did thoroughly enjoy the lively character of Nan Jingheng. He was not like a normal 29-year-old man, the age difference with Yan Beicheng was not huge. If compared with Yan Beicheng, he was almost like an old man.
It was as if he had detected what she was thinking about, Yan Beicheng's pair of black eyes looked at her. He squinted both of his eyes and gave her a look from top to bottom in an ill-mannered way.
Lin Chu, "..."
