Chapter 343: Mr. Lu is in no mood
Lu Chengwen contacted Jiang Shihan, and the car drove straight to a large shopping mall under Qianfeng's name.
Jiang Shihan took Jiang Xiaohou to take a bath and changed her into a new set of clothes.
Once the clothes were changed, even Jiang Shihan was stunned.
This little beggar—was she really this beautiful?
How could anyone still see her as a beggar? You could say she was a princess from some country, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Even a real princess might not be as beautiful as her!
"Xiao Hou, you're really so pretty!"
Jiang Xiaohou blushed. "I'm not pretty… Sister, don't make fun of me."
"What nonsense are you saying? Look at yourself!"
Jiang Shihan turned her to face the mirror. "I think you're even prettier than a big celebrity!"
Jiang Xiaohou grabbed Jiang Shihan's hand. "Sister, that Mr. Lu… is he a good person? He looks so scary!"
Jiang Shihan laughed and gently patted Jiang Xiaohou's head. "Don't worry, he's a good person. There's no one better than him in this world. But, well, he's a big pervert. If he sees you looking this pretty, he'll definitely set his sights on you."
"Set his sights on me? Does that mean he wants to sell me? Sister, Xiao Hou doesn't want to be sold again and again. Please, Sister, don't sell me…"
Jiang Shihan felt a pang of sadness in her heart and gently reassured her. "Don't worry, no one is going to sell you."
In the lobby, Lu Chengwen was looking at his phone when Jiang Shihan walked out with Jiang Xiaohou, proudly saying:
"Mr. Lu, take a look! I guarantee you'll be shocked!"
Lu Chengwen was already in a terrible mood, staring at the construction expense report.
Spending, spending, spending… As long as he was breathing, that side was burning through money like crazy.
Lu Chengwen lifted his head, glanced at Jiang Xiaohou, and nodded. "Not bad. Take her back first. I need to go to the company."
Jiang Shihan was surprised. Mr. Lu wasn't excited by a beautiful woman?
Xiao Hou was so stunning that even she was fond of her, yet Mr. Lu acted as if he didn't see anything!?
Jiang Xiaohou had never encountered such a reaction before, and in an instant, resentment grew in her heart.
Lu Chengwen!
I, Jiang Xiaohou, from the moment I was born, have never been looked down upon like this!
My family stands at the very peak of the world, so from birth, I have been at the pinnacle of the pyramid!
My talent is at the very peak of the world, so with just a little training, I can surpass others who train diligently for a hundred years!
My power, my clan, my wealth—everything about me is already at the highest level!
Most of all, Jiang Xiaohou's greatest confidence lay in her looks.
Since childhood, she had lost count of how many men had been left utterly speechless upon seeing her for the first time, unable to recover for a long while.
From teenage boys to mature men in their fifties and sixties, not a single one had ever been unimpressed by her beauty.
And today, you—a mere nouveau riche second-generation heir—actually ignored my beauty!?
Jiang Xiaohou rushed forward, knelt on the ground, and hugged Lu Chengwen's leg. "Brother! Brother, brother, please, don't sell Xiao Hou! Don't sell me! I'm willing to do anything for you!"
Lu Chengwen was busy making a phone call—there was an issue with the funds, and it needed to be resolved immediately.
Jiang Xiaohou, however, thought that Lu Chengwen simply hadn't gotten a clear look at her.
Now that she was right below him, looking up—
Hmph! Men!
As long as they see a stunning, peerless beauty kneeling at their feet, gazing at them pitifully, how could they not fall for it?
What she didn't know was that Lu Chengwen was indeed a womanizer.
But right now, he had no shortage of beautiful women.
Leng Qingqiu, Chen Mengyun, Xu Xuejiao, Luo Shiyin… Each of them was a breathtaking beauty.
And they all had their own unique charm.
Honestly, Lu Chengwen had already collected all types, styles, and aesthetics.
If his harem didn't break out into fights, he would already count himself lucky—why would he add more?
Besides, at this moment, Lu Chengwen was a career-focused man, and nothing was more important than business.
He glanced down at her, feeling irritated, but still forced himself to be patient.
"Don't be scared. No one is going to sell you. How much do you think you're even worth? Jiang Shihan, take her away and calm her down. Ask about her background and find a way to send her home."
Jiang Shihan was surprised, but also a bit relieved.
There were already too many women competing for Lu Chengwen's attention. If this little enchantress joined in, she'd really be pushed aside.
"Understood, Mr. Lu."
Lu Chengwen turned to leave, but Jiang Xiaohou grew even angrier.
How much do I think I'm worth!?
Lu Chengwen, do you really think that highly of yourself?
Hmph! You hateful plaything, once I'm done playing with you, I'll cut you into three pieces with a single slash!
Then I'll dance over your corpse!
Zhao Gang quickly stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xiaohou away.
Lu Chengwen, still on his call, couldn't be bothered with this nonsense and walked out.
…
Back at Lu Chengwen's villa, Jiang Xiaohou looked around and found it boring.
She had seen too many rich people's houses, and they were all the same.
Lu Chengwen's place was no exception, and in her eyes, it was actually unbearably tacky.
True big shots, like Hun Tiangang, could live in a thatched hut, and people would still kneel at their doorstep in reverence.
But Lu Chengwen?
A house filled with tasteless decor—absolutely dull.
Jiang Shihan arranged a place for her to stay and gave her a full tour of the house.
Hua Xuening, seeing a new girl, was curious and tilted her head, staring at Jiang Xiaohou.
Jiang Xiaohou nervously looked at Hua Xuening. "Hello, Sister."
Hua Xuening laughed, nodded, and patted Jiang Xiaohou's shoulder. "So you're the little monkey, huh? You're really pretty! Hehe, from now on, stick with me—I'll take care of you!"
"Really? Thank you, sister!"
Jiang Xiaohou appeared joyful and excited, but in his heart, he was full of contempt.
This girl seemed to have a problem with her brain!
Stupid woman! She was probably tricked back here by Lu Chengwen, right?
Hua Xuening was very excited, pulling Jiang Xiaohou around to show him the place, while Jiang Shihan let out a sigh of relief, took off her high heels, and massaged her ankles.
After a whole day of running around, she was exhausted.
Hua Xuening was quite loyal, taking on everything enthusiastically, which made Jiang Shihan laugh nonstop.
"In this house, the master is the boss, and I am the second in command! You can call me Sister Xuening or Second Sister! But you should be aware that the master's girlfriends are many. Each one who comes here puts on airs, trying to act like the real mistress of this place."
"Are they the mistress of the house?"
"How would I know!" Hua Xuening was very honest. "Except for Jiang Shihan, the master hasn't touched any of them."
"What do you mean by 'hasn't touched'?"
"Hasn't touched means..." Hua Xuening was afraid of corrupting the little monkey, so she hesitated. "Basically, it means they haven't had much contact and don't sleep together."
"Oh." Jiang Xiaohou pretended to be naive. "Then do I need to sleep with the master?"
Hua Xuening laughed. "That depends on whether the master is willing! I've been here so long, and he still doesn't sleep with me! But he often sleeps with Xu Xuejiao."
"Xu Xuejiao… is she also the mistress here?"
"Sort of. She's too smart, I hate her. I like Sister Mengyun."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Sister Mengyun is just... a really nice sister, very gentle, always speaking softly, and treating people very kindly. If you see her, you'll like her too!"
"Oh."
Jiang Xiaohou looked at Hua Xuening. "Sister, your clothes are really pretty."
"Huh? Really?" Hua Xuening blushed at the compliment. "Ah, actually, I don't really understand fashion. The master bought them for me. And also Boss Leng, Boss Xu, Sister Chen, they all sent me clothes..."
"They all give you beautiful clothes. They're really nice to you!"
Hua Xuening giggled foolishly. "Yeah! They all like me! They even say I'm smart!"
Jiang Xiaohou's expression had already stiffened.
Smart... You really are a 'big brain,' huh!
They're just flattering you because you're always with Lu Chengwen!
It has nothing to do with your intelligence!
The main door swung open, and dozens of people rushed in, lining up on both sides.
Those who needed to work started working, those with tasks got busy.
Lu Chengwen's voice came through as he spoke on the phone.
"If you can't do it right, then just f*cking quit! I gave you a simple task, and look at the mess you've made! I work two to three hours a day already—don't I deserve to have my own life, man?"
Several female assistants surrounded him, tending to him carefully. Jiang Shihan immediately went over to help.
Lu Chengwen kicked off his shoes and walked inside barefoot.
A young man bowed in front of Lu Chengwen. "Boss Lu, everything has been handled—"
"Go to hell!"
Lu Chengwen pressed a palm against the man's face and pushed him aside, continuing his phone call:
"The company got shut down, and that counts as fraud?! What the fck is the point of calling the cops? Those guys scammed us out of over a hundred million in cash, and you only just now figured it out? They already fcking fled overseas!"
Jiang Shihan knew that at times like this, Lu Chengwen was in a terrible mood, like a ticking time bomb—definitely not to be provoked.
She carefully helped him remove his watch and placed it on a tray held by an assistant.
Then she helped him loosen his tie.
Lu Chengwen barked into the phone, "The priority right now is to immediately find a new company to take over! The project progress cannot be delayed. As for that hundred million, we'll recover it if we can, and if not, we'll deal with it later! Do you even understand priorities?"
"I'm not blaming anyone for anything right now. Everything will be dealt with after the project is completed! But if this kind of sht happens again, you and your entire team—get the fck out! I guarantee that in the entire North Country, you won't be able to land a single project again!"
"If you understand, then get the f*ck to work! Useless trash!"
Lu Chengwen hung up the phone and looked around.
More than twenty people immediately lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
"What are you looking at me for?"
The twenty or so people were confused.
"Move out! Go, go, go, go! Don't let me see you here!"
Zhao Gang quickly spoke up. "Boss Lu needs to rest. Everyone, get back to work."
Everyone bolted from the villa as if running for their lives.
Lu Chengwen walked to the sofa, flopped down, and let out a heavy sigh.
"How are there so many idiots in this world... I'm gonna lose my mind."
Turning his head, Lu Chengwen suddenly sat up straight and pointed at Jiang Xiaohou. "Why is she still here? No, seriously, why did you guys bring her into my house?"
Zhao Gang chuckled. "Didn't you say this girl is a beauty? Just look at her—she's truly top-tier!"
Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth. "Zhao Gang, is your brain full of sh*t? Do I look like I have time to play around with women right now? Get her out, get her out! Find someone to take care of her first, book her a hotel—did you even ask where her home is? Send her back quickly!"
Zhao Gang was dumbfounded. He looked at Jiang Shihan, who also shook her head helplessly, indicating that she didn't understand either.
At that moment, Xu Xuejiao walked in. "Whose temper is flaring so badly in here?"
As soon as Lu Chengwen saw Xu Xuejiao, he immediately stood up. "Xuejiao, little sister... Come here, let big brother give you a hug!"
Jiang Xiaohou really wanted to jump up and stab Lu Chengwen to death.
