Chapter 6:
Chapter 6: Fourth on Tongyun City’s Beauty List – Liu Ruoyun!
Outside the hotel—
On the way to the Lin family.
Lin Zhixin walked in front, wearing a classy and seductive office outfit. With elegant steps, she moved gracefully with her head slightly lowered.
Just this scene alone made every single man along the road turn their gaze toward her. She was simply stunning.
But Lin Zhixin ignored them. She was used to this kind of attention—it happened almost every day.
“Xiner… wait!”
At that moment, Lin Zhixin, who was walking ahead, heard someone calling her name from behind. She stopped and turned around. When she saw who it was, she blinked her beautiful eyes and coldly said, “This is your last warning. Don’t call me Xiner. We’re not close.”
Ye Chen: …
What’s your problem now?!
Hearing her cold and ruthless words, Ye Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He felt helpless.
I came here especially to help you… and not only do you not thank me, but you even give me attitude?
It’s heartbreaking! You know what that means?
“Don’t block my way. Also, don’t come looking for me again—”
Lin Zhixin didn’t even glance at him as she coldly scolded him, then stepped around him and walked away.
Ye Chen didn’t stop her. In fact, he actually liked women who were cold toward him.
The colder she was, the more he wanted to conquer her.
That feeling… Ye Chen really enjoyed it.
As he watched her walk away, for some reason, Ye Chen actually started laughing. The corner of his lips lifted, and his eyes narrowed into slits.
Why was he laughing?
Because he had his own thoughts.
“She says one thing but means another.”
“Is she treating me this way because she’s afraid Gu Jinnian will take revenge on me?”
Hmph…
As expected of a protagonist.
He truly had his own interpretation.
Ye Chen believed that after hitting Gu Jinnian today, the entire Gu family would definitely launch a storm of revenge against him. And Lin Zhixin must be keeping her distance on purpose to protect him.
Heh—
What a foolish woman.
Ye Chen grinned arrogantly, shook his head with confidence, and turned to leave.
Gu Jinnian, who had just left the hotel, was now driving toward the outskirts of town. The reason he came here was naturally to follow the plotline.
[Ring ring ring—]
At that moment, a clear ringtone rang out.
The corners of Gu Jinnian’s mouth curved up, as if he had expected the call. He picked up his phone and held it to his ear.
A cold and clear voice came through from the other end: “Jinnian, come to the company and explain yourself.”
Before Gu Jinnian could even respond—
[Beep—]
The call was cut off without mercy.
Gu Jinnian looked at his phone and gave a bitter smile.
The person who had just called was Liu Ruoyun, the president of the Liu Group in Tongyun City. She was also Gu Jinnian’s aunt.
Of course, they weren’t related by blood.
The Liu and Gu families had always been close for generations. Liu Ruoyun had watched him grow up, so calling her “aunt” was perfectly normal.
With that in mind, Gu Jinnian started his car and drove toward Tongyun City. The red sports car sped down the road at high speed. The flashy scene made many passersby look on with envy.
Very soon, he arrived at the Liu Group.
On the first floor stood a female secretary in a black office suit. She was attractive, but far too cold. She gave off an unapproachable aura.
When she saw Gu Jinnian walk in, she approached him and respectfully said, “The President is waiting for you in her office.”
Gu Jinnian simply smiled and nodded, then took the elevator to the top floor.
[Knock knock knock—]
Standing at the office door, he knocked lightly.
Soon, a cold voice came from inside: “Enter.”
He opened the door. The familiar scene came into view again.
Looking ahead, a stunningly beautiful woman sat in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Her long hair fell loosely over her shoulders. Her aura was powerful and dignified—so much so that one wouldn’t dare disrespect her.
She wore jeans and a pink long-sleeved T-shirt. In the middle of summer, she was completely covered up—very conservative. Her features were delicate like a painting. A high nose bridge, refined beauty. She gave off the natural presence of someone in power—full of authority.
Yes—this woman was Liu Ruoyun, the president of the Liu Group. She was also ranked fourth on Tongyun City’s beauty list.
Although she was ranked fourth, anyone with eyes could see that if Liu Ruoyun ever wore light makeup and changed her personality a bit, she would easily be number one.
But Liu Ruoyun had no interest in the so-called beauty list.
[Hah! Honestly, if Aunt ever wore a JK uniform, even if the plotline collapsed, I’d accept it.]
[And seriously, in this summer heat, isn’t she hot? Why wrap up so tightly?]
[Girls should wear cute dresses with some black stockings. Wouldn’t that be great?]
[Put on some light makeup and lipstick, and you’d easily be number one on the beauty list!]
[Sigh! She just doesn’t know how to adapt. Truly hopeless!]
Liu Ruoyun’s stern expression froze slightly. She immediately looked up.
???
What was that voice just now?
Beauty list number one? Lipstick? Black stockings? Hopeless?
So vulgar!
Liu Ruoyun frowned, thinking it was just her imagination.
She didn’t think too much of it and looked toward Gu Jinnian again.
“Who told you to sit?!”
She had just looked up when she saw Gu Jinnian sitting on the sofa, legs crossed.
Her anger flared instantly.
She immediately scolded him.
For this nephew of hers—with no blood relation—Liu Ruoyun was truly exasperated.
If she didn’t discipline him now, who knows what kind of trouble he’d cause next?
If today he dared to kidnap Lin Zhixin, then tomorrow he might dare to kill someone with a gun.
By then, it would be too late to stop him.
Even though they weren’t related by blood, Gu Jinnian was raised by her. She still had deep feelings for this little brat.
Gu Jinnian stood up from the sofa and scratched his head. “Aunt, you called me here to ask me to explain something?”
This part of the plotline had played out more than twenty times already.
He was extremely skilled in handling every detail.
Gu Jinnian remembered clearly that in his last life, this beautiful woman had locked him in solitary confinement for half a month after learning he kidnapped Lin Zhixin.
And she didn’t even give him food.
Frustrating, right?
But it was needed for the plotline.
Although it was a bit painful, Gu Jinnian didn’t resist.
Even though being locked up was uncomfortable, once he finished the entire plotline, he could return to Blue Star with the mysterious grand prize.
Thinking about that made the whole experience seem not so bad.
At this moment, seeing Gu Jinnian with a playful grin, Liu Ruoyun became even more furious.
A wave of powerful pressure surged straight toward him!
This aura was even stronger than in the last life!
[Aunt is just a conservative ice queen. Always losing her temper. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her smile since I was a kid. Seriously speechless.]
Liu Ruoyun: ???
