Chapter 56 - The Critical Woman

Chang Jing entered, arm in arm with a young man.

The man was slender and pockmarked, looking like a skinny monkey in his suit.

His hair was slicked with gel, giving off the air of a successful person.

“Chang Jing!”

Lu Miaochan arched her eyebrows, surprised to encounter this woman again so soon after they had parted.

“Haha, I just knew it, Miaochan, running off with some random guy and not even acknowledging an old classmate like me.

Secretly dating, no wonder!”

Chang Jing said sarcastically, her gaze toward Lu Miaochan tinged with envy.

Since high school, Lu Miaochan had always been prettier than her, and she still was—now even the campus belle at East Sea University, which greatly unsettled her.

“Chang Jing, don’t talk nonsense!

Ye Xuan and I are not…

not anything.”

Lu Miaochan glared, quickly glancing at Ye Xuan.

“Not anything?

Heh, you both come to a couples’ restaurant and say he’s not your boyfriend, you think I’d believe that?” Chang Jing scoffed.

“I…”

Lu Miaochan pursed her lips, at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Chang Jing’s face lit up with a malicious glee, pointing proudly to the pockmarked man in the suit.

“Oh right, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Chen Jiajun, the owner of Junfei Agricultural Trade Co., Ltd!”

“Hello, I am Chang Jing’s boyfriend, Chen Jiajun.”

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, his eyes heating up as he looked at Lu Miaochan.

This beauty in black stockings, both gorgeous and sexy, was nothing like Chang Jing with her heavy makeup—just looking at her excited him.

If such a stunning beauty were beneath him, it would be far more thrilling than the flabby, old Chang Jing!

“Hey?

Who is this security guard?” he asked, looking at Ye Xuan in surprise.

“This is Miaochan’s boyfriend!”

Chang Jing glanced slyly at Lu Miaochan, her smile coquettish.

“Jiajun, Miaochan used to eat at street food stalls, and now she’s frequenting upscale couples’ restaurants.

Looks like she’s found herself a rich man.”

Though Ye Xuan was clearly dressed in a security uniform, Chang Jing said this with undisguised scorn.

Chen Jiajun, understanding his girlfriend’s intention, wore a mocking smile.

“A rich man?

I don’t see one.

I only see a security guard!

Or am I blind, not recognising that this guard is wealthy?”

He didn’t mind stepping on Ye Xuan to flaunt his sense of superiority in front of a beautiful woman.

If he could make Chang Jing happy, he might even get a special treat tonight, a sandwich with sausage—his favorite!

“Jiajun, how can you say that?

Maybe this Mr.

Ye enjoys this style.

Haven’t you seen how those rich people love to play coy?”

Chang Jing’s voice was dripping with sweetness as she seemingly defended Ye Xuan, but her contempt for him was clearly unmasked.

“Brother, may I ask where you work, earning how many tens of thousands a month?” Chen Jiajun asked bluntly.

As he spoke, he deliberately swung his Ferrari car keys a few times, flaunting his status.

Seeing this, Chang Jing’s smile grew even more coquettish.

Ye Xuan’s gaze fell on the car keys, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He responded lightly, “Just a security guard, earning about thirty thousand a month.”

What?

Chang Jing and Chen Jiajun were stunned, then burst into unseemly laughter.

“Haha!

Jiajun, am I hearing this right?

This security guard actually says he can earn thirty thousand a month!

He really thinks he’s rich, what a joke!”

Chang Jing’s face flashed with sarcasm, utterly unrestrained.

“Brother Ye, you need to stay grounded!

How can you, a security guard, possibly earn so much money?

How about I find you a job that pays seven or eight thousand a month, much better than being a security guard.”

Chen Jiajun joined in, his tone filled with a sense of superiority.

“Thirty thousand a lot?”

Ye Xuan shook his head and said indifferently, “In the past, I used to start deals worth millions with just a wave of my hand, these thirty thousand are just pocket change, barely enough to buy a pack of cigarettes.”

His salary was set by Lin Tong at thirty thousand a month, but Ye Xuan didn’t bat an eye at this amount.

Let alone thirty thousand, even three hundred million or thirty million!

It would just be a flick of his finger for him.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Chang Jing and Chen Jiajun laughed even harder.

Such a bragging security guard I’ve never seen.

Thirty thousand for a pack of cigarettes?

What kind of cigarettes are that expensive!

With a thick disdain and mockery in her expression, Chang Jing said, “Miaochan, you’re supposed to be the school beauty, and yet you’re dating a security guard!

Look at how shabby he appears, probably earns just two thousand a month?

Yet claims he can make thirty thousand, how ridiculous!”

Chen Jiajun chimed in, “Brother Ye, showing off in front of a beauty, you should know your limits!

Don’t treat others like fools, or you’ll be the one ending up in loss.”

“Chang Jing, what do you mean by this, are you deliberately picking a fight?”

Lu Miaochan couldn’t believe Ye Xuan could earn thirty thousand a month, but seeing these two look down on Ye Xuan, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

Although she and Chang Jing were high school classmates, Miaochan had always disliked her for being pretentious.

Later, they both entered East Sea University, and didn’t really keep in touch.

She didn’t expect to run into her today, and even more, to be mocked on purpose!

“Haha, Miaochan, don’t be embarrassed, I am actually helping you.

Once your boyfriend gets a good job, he can properly take care of you.”

Her words seemed considerate, but a flicker of pleasure flashed through her eyes.

She had always been at odds with Lu Miaochan, but the latter was academically excellent and popular with teachers and fellow students because of it!

While she, not particularly good-looking, couldn’t compare in any aspect to Lu Miaochan, and she had been jealous of Miaochan since then.

Now that she had met someone rich like Chen Jiajun, she naturally wanted to humiliate Lu Miaochan viciously!

That’s why she had contacted Chen Jiajun to follow her here.

“By the way, look, this is the Chanel bag Jiajun bought for me, it’s over fifty thousand!

How about asking your boyfriend to buy you one?”

At this moment, Chang Jing raised a plaid handbag in her hand, showing it off to Lu Miaochan.

“Wow!

That’s Chanel, just gifting it like that!”

“If I had a rich boyfriend, I’d definitely make him buy me one too!”

“Look, that man is also holding a Ferrari car key, he’s really rich!”

“This is true love!”

Many girls in the restaurant gazed at this scene with immense envy.

Many couldn’t take their eyes off, wishing they could replace their current boyfriends to marry a wealthy man!
