Bear drove with Xiao Si who was hijacked halfway to find Ah Zi.
“Then we just tell her that Miss Jiang asked us to deliver the food to her, okay?”
Xiao Si looked at the pizza and couldn’t help saying, “You haven’t told her your love yet?”
“I… I don’t dare to.” Bear seemed very nervous and Xiao Si wanted to hit him.
“Why don’t you dare? Just tell her that you like her. If she is willing, you two can be together. If she is not, you can still be friends.”
Bear stared at Xiao Si, “What if she is not willing?”
“You can find someone else!”
“No, I just want Ah Zi.” Bear was one of those who were very stubborn and would never change his mind.
Xiao Si glimpsed at him, “If you don’t express your love, she may be got by someone else.”
Bear opened his mouth, “No way. She is on the Internet every day and has no chance to meet anyone else.”
“Wake up. Don’t you know that one can get married by playing games? When they meet in reality, you can do nothing about it.”
At first, Bear didn’t take it seriously. But when he arrived at Ah Zi’s place and found that she didn’t care for food and that she sweetly called honey on the headphone, he freaked out.
“What did I say…” Whey they were driven out, Xiao Si patted on his shoulder, “Don’t be too sad!”
Bear angrily drove back home. And the first thing he did back home was to download the games.
Everything went along smoothly. At the beginning of August, Tuan Zi went to the school’s entrance interview. For the child’s safety, Jiang Rui chose the best private nobility school which could be compared to Caesar Academy in S City.
But differently, the school divided the classes from the beginning. Wen Zeyu chose the Politics Academy while Tuan Zi chose the Military Academy. The two kids were admitted at the highest scores, which amused the headmaster greatly.
Chen Chen’s store also formally opened for business on the weekend and it was named the General’s Hall.
“I know the name was given by the God of War without a guess.” Ah Zi murmured when she saw that dark golden tablet, which was said to be written by a great calligrapher.
“Is it not great?” Chen Chen stupidly smiled at those words. She felt it sounded great and mighty.
Ah Zi definitely didn’t dare to refute, “Great, great…”
The evening news gave it half of a minute to report because Wen Pintang came to cut the ribbon. On the first day, Chen Chen and Ah Zi sold out everything in the store. Those people came to the store as if they were in a robbery and were afraid that they would be too late to flatter.
“Hahaha!” Ah Zi shook the calculator, “Do you know how much we earned today?”
Chen Chen was ordering stuff on the computer and asked, “How much?”
“Three hundred thousand!” Ah Zi laughed out loud, “We earned three hundred thousand in a day!”
Chen Chen didn’t understand and asked, “Did you get wrong?”
“Do you think I am you?” Ah Zi rolled her eyes, “That big wood carving earned more than a hundred thousand.”
“Then it will take us less than half a year to make the money which can cover the spending and rents!” Chen Chen said excitedly, “I will order several more of that big stuff!”
Ah Zi poked her, “See how stupid you are. Listen to me, the stuff you buy have to be delicate and exquisite regardless of the costs. Tell them that we need the best materials. We will earn a lot at the New Year! No! Maybe we can quickly sell them all out when the goods are delivered here!”
Chen Chen was not as careless as Ah Zi. She knew that their stuff was sold well because of Jiang Rui and Wen Pintang. She ordered a set of cups made of bamboo on purpose. As for Jiang Rui, she wanted to ask him.
“Is there anything that you like?”
She ran to the study at night and asked nervously.
Jiang Rui thought in mind that she still had the mind and cared for him. But he said, “What’s wrong?”
“I… I want to thank you.” Chen Chen said slowly, “If it’s not for you, the goods in the store can’t be sold out so quickly. Just tell me what you like. I’ll send it to you!”
Jiang Rui saw her rubbing her hands nervously and felt funny. So he pointed at the chair and said, “Sit down and I will tell you.”
“Um.” Chen Chen cutely sat down, “Then what do you like?”
“I like everything made by you.” The man gently looked at her. Chen Chen bumped hard and she felt sting all over her body. She covered her chest and moaned.
Jiang Rui stood up immediately to hold her, “What’s the matter?”
“My heart… my heart hurts.” Chen Chen’s face turned pale and tears fell down.
“Stop thinking! Stop thinking!” Jiang Rui hurt inside like it was shaved by a knife. Still couldn’t? Once she had feelings for him, her body would reject. The drug was so strong. How could he make Liuliu fall in love with him again…
Jiang Rui held her in his arms and patted her back, “All right, all right. Think something else and the pain will stop. Maybe you can cook for me? I cook for you every day. If you really want to thank me, you can cook a meal for me!”
“Really? So easy?” The pain was gone and she found herself in Jiang Rui’s arms. She struggled to stand up and said, “I… I should see the recipe now. I’ll cook for you tomorrow!”
Seeing her run away, Jiang Rui sighed. If it went on like that, they might have no chance to sleep together…
The next morning, Chen Chen was about to take Tuan Zi to get groceries in the supermarket when she received a call.
“Hello! Miss Chen?” A strange voice came out from the speaker.
“I am. And who are you?” Chen Chen signed to Tuan Zi and stopped her from going into the elevator.
The voice on the other side of the phone sounded very happy, “Miss Chen, my friend sent me a wooden carving yesterday and he said it was from your store. I’d like to book a set of wooden table and chairs. Do you have time to talk with me about it face to face?”
“Ah, send the picture to my mailbox!” Chen Chen was very happy too that the business came up to her.
The person hesitated for a second and said, “I just want to see the Dongba characters on your wooden carving. I want to see you in person because I have some specific requirements. Besides, I have some other stuff to let you see. Can you repair it for me?”
“All right, when?”
“Can we meet now? I will be abroad this afternoon. Which place will you find convenient? I’ll go there.”
Chen Chen thought for a moment and told an address which was the cafeteria across the community.
“Tuan Zi, wait for me at home. I have a business to take care of.” Chen Chen said proudly that she could do business now!
“Where? You will go alone?” Tuan Zi stared at her, “Mum, you are too audacious now. You should call dad and let him go with you.”
Jiang Rui left in the morning and was said to attend a meeting. But he would come back to eat the food she cooked by noon.
Chen Chen pouted, “Am I so stupid? Besides, it was only the cafeteria opposite our home!” She chose the place because she thought it was relatively safe. Nothing would happen so close to their home.
But the fact proved that she was still too naive.
The man was a polite, handsome, and middle-aged man. He got seated and then took out a few photos. Before she could see it clearly, the man sprayed something towards her face and then she lost her consciousness.
Tuan Zi was worried. So after Chen Chen went out, she used the telescope to observe what happened. By the time she ate up the cake in hand, she saw Chen Chen was taken away by two people from the back of the cafeteria.
“Mum!” She was scared and called Jiang Rui right away.
The meeting Jiang Rui was in was not over. When he was hearing the report, he felt the vibration of the phone. He took a look at it and then signed the soldiers.
“Tuan Zi?”
“Dad, mum was taken away!”
Bang! The next minute, they saw the chair kicked over by their senior officer.
Bear and Xiao Si stood up immediately.
“Liuliu was kidnapped.” There was bloody coldness in Jiang Rui’s eyes.
“Damn it, who is looking for death?” Bear patted on the table, “Hurry up, take your soldiers and come with me!”
The second Chen Chen passed out, she knew she was kidnapped. As a child in the Wan family, she had prepared to face this situation since she was little. When she woke up, she found that she was not in a deserted factory, but a nice-looking house.
She felt relieved and then anxious again. It was no time to feel lucky about the environment. The next minute, her mind went blank again. Hmm, it was impossible to cook for Brother Xiao Rui today…
The door was pushed open and three men walked in.
“Are you sure the woman is the mistress?” The elder man said, “A lot of famous people appeared at her store on the opening. Are you sure or not?”
Chen Chen lifted her head to look. The man who asked to see her was smiling to her, “What else can she be except for a mistress? It is the wife who told us to kidnap her.” He kicked Chen Chen, “You are great! The rich guy agreed to open such a big shop for you. No wonder his wife can’t tolerate your existence.”
“You are cheated.” Chen Chen thought that she should hold up the time as long as possible. Tuan Zi must have informed Jiang Rui and he would find her soon.
The man laughed, “You’d better be cooperative. We only want money. After we take your clothes off and take a few naked photos, you can leave.”
Another younger man laughed randily, “Didn’t they ask for moves? I’ll do it!”
“You? Can you control yourself?” The eldest man pushed him, “They didn’t ask us to rape her. Don’t lose your control.”
“A mistress is the same with a bitch. She has sold herself anyway. So it will be nothing to let me have her!” The younger one started to take his clothes off, “After you take the photos, you should go out and let me enjoy myself. We have photos in our hands, so she won’t say anything.”
Chen Chen’s arms were caught and she was dragged to the bed. She was very afraid but she told herself to calm down. Boss Wan had taught her that you should be calm to analyze and find a way out when you’re desperate.
“Listen to me, you have really been fooled. I’m not a mistress. The one who hired you is not anyone’s wife.” Though she didn’t know who wanted to catch her, she knew Jiang Rui didn’t get married and definitely had no wife.
The older man stopped the young guy who wanted to rip off Chen Chen’s clothes, “Wait a minute. It doesn’t seem right.”
“Fuck! Hurry up, I’m hard already.”
Chen Chen saw that the words could get to him and lifted her chin, “You have taken my cellphone? Just make a call and you will know.”
The man who had made her pass out said, “She is postponing the time and the call may expose us. Be quick and finish the job.”
The eldest man still wanted to stop them but was pushed out by the other two people impatiently, “Fuck off if you don’t have the guts. And you don’t have a share in that money.”
