Chapter 204: Big Man Picking His Feet

Chapter 204

It was still early, so there was no need to think about it in detail until closer to graduation.

This winter was colder than usual, with snow falling for several days in a row. Chu Yang had been staying at home, warming herself by the fire and rarely going out. Sometimes she would roast sweet potatoes and corn in the fire, which was quite delicious.

As for Chi Yan, he was much busier this year. Since he had been helping out at the company, he had been working there continuously after Chu Yang left Jing City, only getting a break during the holidays. Even during the New Year holiday, he attended weddings and banquets, and some people even tried to introduce women to him, all of whom Chi Yan promptly blacklisted.

The company only had a seven-day holiday. After that, Chi Yan had to get up early and go to work in the cold weather. On his way to work, he could occasionally hear festive New Year's music playing on the streets.

The first day back at work wasn't too busy, just handing out red envelopes. A long queue of people lined up to wish him a prosperous New Year, and he gave out red envelopes to everyone.

Finally finished with distributing the envelopes, Chi Yan thought that since everyone had received their New Year's red envelope, his dear Yang Yang should have one too. So early that morning, Chu Yang received a New Year's red envelope from Chi Yan.

Looking outside at the gloomy sky, it seemed very cold. Shivering, Chu Yang burrowed back into her blankets. Poor A-Yan had to go to work so early.

Today, Chu Yang received a private message from one of her early fan clients. According to previous messages, the fan was named Chen Shu, also a young man from Jing City. He said he was going to meet an online friend in a couple of days and wanted to know how it would turn out.

In reality, Chen Shu had fallen into an online romance. Feeling insecure and worried that the other person might not like him, he wanted to ask for advice.

However, he didn't explicitly say this, only telling the Prophecy Little Witch that he was going to meet an online friend.

Chu Yang took a look and then asked, "Are you going to meet a uncouth man?"

Chen Shu: ???

Chen Shu: "What uncouth man? I'm going to meet my sweet little princess."

Prophecy Little Witch: "Oh, you might have been scammed. Since you're one of my first fans, I'll give you a friendly price of 200 yuan this time, considering you seem to have been scammed out of so much money."

Chen Shu: !!!

Chen Shu had always believed in the Prophecy Little Witch, but at this moment, he suddenly had some doubts. However, he quickly came to his senses. How could he doubt the Prophecy Little Witch? He had been a fan for so long, and every time her predictions had been spot on!

So, he really had been scammed! Ah ah ah ah!

His sweet little princess was an uncouth man?

Ah ah ah ah!

Chen Shu clutched his head and wept!

The Prophecy Little Witch sent another message: "You even believed fake photos? You're too naive."

Chen Shu: Wuwuwuwuwu...

After transferring money to the Prophecy Little Witch, Chen Shu immediately turned to confide in Yan Xu.

"The Little Witch blogger said my sweetie is an uncouth man QAQ."

Yan Xu: "Didn't I tell you not to trust that? How much money did you lose?"

Chen Shu's face turned ashen: "Over a hundred thousand!"

Yan Xu: "Report it to the police. You might as well have given that hundred thousand to me, I could have introduced you to some pretty girls! Why bother looking online!"

Chen Shu looked at him: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Do you know any pretty girls who are good at gaming?" He had originally met his "sweet little princess" through gaming, and now to find out that his supposed goddess was actually an uncouth man was enough to make his world collapse!

Yan Xu gave him a sidelong glance: "No. Anyway, report it to the police first, and in a few days, come with me to attend a party."

Chen Shu: QAQ...

A few days later, Yan Xu and Chen Shu were whispering in a corner at the party. freewebnoveℓ.com

"See that one over there? She's from the Ji Family. What do you think?"

Chen Shu took a look and nodded, "She's alright, but I don't think she'd be interested in me." He was self-aware enough to know that.

Yan Xu: "I heard the Ji Family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Chi Family, but the Chi Family didn't agree."

Chen Shu, not very familiar with the social circles here, asked, "Why? And why are you introducing her to me then?"

Yan Xu shrugged: "Don't know, probably don't like her. Nevermind, I'll introduce you to another one. That one over there is from the Lin Family, just returned from abroad."

Chen Shu: "Is she older than me?"

Yan Xu: "A little older is fine."

Chen Shu shook his head, "Anyone else?"

Yan Xu: "Look over there, any of those girls would do."

Chen Shu shook his head, "Forget it, I don't know any of them." His sweet little princess turned out to be an uncouth man, his heart was already dead.

The two of them continued chattering in the corner. Yan Xu, having drunk too much water, needed to use the bathroom. "Go chat with some people and get to know them. Good luck, I'm going to the bathroom."

"..."

Chi Yan hadn't expected to encounter such a messy situation at a party. Seeing the clearly drugged Ji Family's eldest daughter with a flushed face in front of him, Chi Yan turned and ran, not wanting to get involved. Running to a corner, he thought for a moment and then said to a nearby young man, "There's a girl over there who seems to be sick, could you please go check on her?"

Chen Shu: ???

Why was he being asked? But Chi Yan had already left.

Chen Shu thought about it and decided to go take a look. To his surprise, it was the Ji Family's eldest daughter that Yan Xu had introduced earlier. It was obvious that she had been set up. Oh well, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. In the end, Chen Shu simply shouted, "Help!"

Ji Ke, slumped on the ground and feeling awful: ??? What help?

Yan Xu, returning: Chen Shu, what did you do?

Chen Shu insisted he hadn't done anything, but a crowd of people had gathered and were all staring at him.

Chen Shu: "I don't know anything, okay? She was already like this when I arrived!" If he had known, he wouldn't have come. Wuwuwu, why was he so unlucky lately?

In the end, Yan Xu dragged Chen Shu away. As for Ji Ke's situation, well, it wasn't their problem.

Chen Shu: "I was just standing there minding my own business when a guy came up and said there was a sick girl over there and asked me to go check on her."

Yan Xu: "What guy? What did he look like?"

Chen Shu described the man's appearance.

Yan Xu sighed, "That must have been the young master of the Chi Family. I didn't expect the Ji Family to resort to such underhanded tactics after their marriage alliance was rejected. But the young master Chi was too smart for them and ran away. I shouldn't have brought you here."

Chen Shu: "Aiya! I'm going to ask the blogger if I'm just having a streak of bad luck and if there's anything I can do about it."

At the time, everyone present assumed that the Ji Family had tried to force a marriage with the Chi Family through underhanded means, not knowing that they wouldn't fall for it.

At this moment, Ji Ke was lying on the bed, crying. She didn't do it!!!

She had merely accidentally drunk someone else's drink, but even after explaining herself, no one believed her. During the last car race, she had already said she wouldn't agree to the arranged marriage. What kind of man couldn't Ji Ke find on her own? This party was just someone's attempt to climb the social ladder, who knew the drug would end up in her drink! Thankfully, nothing serious happened to her in the end. Ji Ke pounded her fists against the pillow! Ever since her family mentioned the arranged marriage with the Chi Family, she felt like her luck had turned sour!

The Chi Family was her bad luck charm!
