Chapter 634: The Haunting Phone Call (Part One)
The landlord’s son felt annoyed from embarra.s.sment. “So what if you’re rich? I’m telling you, you’re ugly and you don’t know how to impress women. Can’t you see that she doesn’t want to talk to you anymore? Hurry up and get out of here!”
Just at this moment, Lin Chuxue, who had already changed into a formal dress and freshened up, came down stairs.
The landlord hurriedly greeted Lin Chuxue with her son, “Miss Nicole, see? I didn’t lie to you, my son is a great man.”
The landlord’s son straightened up his suit and introduced himself in a serious manner.
However, Lin Chuxue never looked at him once and only smiled at the landlord. “Mrs. Jenny, it’s not appropriate for you to introduce your son to me in front of my husband, is it?”
Both of them were stunned.
Lin Chuxue smiled and continued to say, “I didn’t lie to you about my marriage. That unattractive man outside is indeed my husband. Excuse me for now.”
She then brushed past the two and walked towards the limo.
The landlord’s son said in annoyance at Lin Chuxue, “You’re simply shallow. I thought a Harvard woman would be different, but I didn’t think you would also be a woman who would sell her love for money regardless of happiness.”
Lin Chuxue laughed as she turned to look at him and said. “Sir, I just heard what you said to my husband and I want to give it back to you now. In fact, someone like you is a loser. You say I am a vulgar woman who likes money, so let me ask you, why don’t I live in a fancy apartment or a five-star hotel, instead preferring to live in an ordinary apartment like yours? Benevolence is a matter of opinion; for someone who is extremely selfish in his heart, I don’t think I need to explain anything to you. Frankly, I don’t care if you look at me in that way, because to me, you are nothing.”
Although Lin Chuxue was angry with Xu Cheng, she would defend him from anyone who called him out.
Xu Cheng leaned on the window of the car and gave Lin Chuxue a thumbs up. “Amazing.”
Lin Chuxue glared at him, and as Stenson was ready to open the door for her, she went around past Xu Cheng’s door and pulled open the side Xu Cheng was at. She went in and pushed Xu Cheng out of the way and sat down on the Boss seat.
“Didn’t you say that I will be in charge of the family funds money from now on? People are right, you’re so ugly anyway, and they think I’m just after your money being with you. I should live up to their impression of me and just spend your money harder. I’ll take the boss chair, and you, who doesn’t care, can go away to the other side.”
Xu Cheng smiled and sat at the side.
Stenson, who was in the pa.s.senger seat, was shocked as this was his first time seeing his boss, who was strict to his men, respected by the big four mafia groups, and the man behind the Las Vegas incident, showing such a tolerant side to his wife.
Stenson turned to look at Lin Chuxue, and he was stunned.
Putting aside that Xu Cheng was his boss, Lin Chuxue was indeed stunning. She looked very much like a work of art that was perfectly flawless from afar and had a cold and difficult presence from up-close. However, the more she was unreachable, the more men would want to go after her, being satisfied if they could melt this iceberg by just a little.

So, when Lin Chuxue smiled, it would really melt anything.
But Lin Chuxue didn’t smile, and instead she looked at Stenson, freezing him with her glare.
“Who is this guy?” Lin Chuxue asked Xu Cheng. She had yet to see Stenson before.
Stenson quickly introduced himself. “Ma’am, my name is Stenson. I am in charge of the financial management and am an investment advisor for Boss. In simple and easy to understand terms, I’m an accountant.”
“He is the financial manager I recruited with an annual salary of ten million, very professional,” Xu Cheng explained.
“Did I ask you?” Lin Chuxue turned her head over and gave a hard look at Xu Cheng. She was still angry about Xu Cheng’s disappearance for three months. She looked at Stenson again and said, “Why do you need such a large annual salary for? It’s easy to find someone like you with a million-dollar annual salary on Wall Street. Let’s reduce it to 5 million first.”
Stenson’s eyes widened and looked at Xu Cheng, who pointed at him and said to him, “Alright, 5 million it is, you heard her.”
“Yes.” Stenson smiled bitterly.
Lin Chuxue knew that Xu Cheng was deliberately agreeing with her. “For the sake of you sending the raw diamond materials to my mother’s side, I’ll let you off the hook this time.”
The phone in her bag suddenly rang.
Lin Chuxue pulled out her phone and handed it to Xu Cheng. “I can’t stand Ye Xiu anymore, you talk to him. This is the 26th call he has made to me this month.”
Xu Cheng quickly answered the phone.
Ye Xiu’s wailing voice could be heard from the other end. “Sister-in-law, let my brother come back. I’ve been cornered every day by Uncle Zhou Zhen, this b*stard has taken a wedding leave to keep his eyes on me. He’s the first one I see when I open my eyes, he’s here while I eat and even when I’m in the bathrooms. I can’t stand him anymore and I’m about to go crazy you know? Seeing that I’m the only one left in the Ye Family, and to keep me sane, please let my brother come back and attend the wedding. Auntie Lan had said that if both of you don’t come, then she won’t get married. Uncle Zhou Zhen wouldn’t accept that, and the whole city has received their wedding invitations already. I’m not afraid of him being humiliated on his wedding day, but that he will use me as a punching bag afterwards. He’s from the police force, and I can’t win!”
Xu Cheng was speechless. “Isn’t the old man arranging the wedding? Is there that much trouble?”
“Oh my gosh, you’re not dead yet, my brother?” Ye Xiu was scared by his voice.
Xu Cheng: “You f*cking want to see me die?”
Ye Xiu: “You’re not dead, but I’m dying, so hurry back home. Auntie Lan said the only people she was close to were you and your wife, she asked you to come and attend the wedding, or else she won’t go through with it. This has made my Uncle Zhou Zhen anxious, he said that if you don’t come back, then he will issue a legal doc.u.ment to extradite you back from the M Nation!”
Zhou Zhen was eavesdropping on the other end, and when he heard Ye Xiu on the phone with Xu Cheng, he immediately s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone and shouted. “Xu Cheng! Your Uncle Zhou Zhen, my happiness depends on you! If you don’t come back, then Lan Ting won’t marry me! The old man has said that he will take you into interrogation if that’s the case!”
Xu Cheng: “I’m afraid of dying, so I’d better not come back.”
Zhou Zhen cried, “Don’t do that! Can you bear the thought of two lovers who can’t be together? Think about your father and your mother… what’s the difference between you and Ryong Xiao.”
Xu Cheng laughed. “Get lost, don’t insult my parents’ love. I’m already on my way back.”
