Chapter 843 - 113 Chess piece
Having returned from Aunt Chen’s place, Lin Yuan’s heart had been unsettled until she ran into the dazzlingly dressed Chen Shimei at the entrance of Fragrant Full Building. Lin Yuan sneered, finally finding a vent for her frustrations.
It was his own doing, really—making plans to meet friends for a meal at Drunken Immortal Tower, yet upon seeing Fragrant Full Building, he had the impulse to humiliate Lin Yuan. And there you have it—just as he approached the building’s entrance, he encountered Lin Yuan stepping off her carriage.
Chen Shimei’s flamboyant attire was a sore sight for Lin Yuan. She hooked the corner of her lips coldly, yet before she could speak, the haughty Chen Shimei across from her had already started, "Ha, Shopkeeper Lin, what a coincidence to bump into you here today."
Lin Yuan shook off the goosebumps, replying indifferently, "Isn’t that just wonderful? Everywhere I go, I seem to bump into someone annoying."
Perhaps stung by Lin Yuan’s dismissive demeanor, Chen Shimei’s brows furrowed, and he huffed in dissatisfaction, "Lin Yuan, do you really think you’re still the boss of Fuman Building? Hmph, your Fragrant Full Building has involved in a deadly lawsuit—don’t you know? And here I am, considering our old ties, thinking of giving you a hand, and you—ungrateful, displaying such arrogance—do you really think you are a star in the heavens?"
"So, you came to help me? It’s obvious you’re just here to gloat!"
Lin Yuan was amused by this shameless fellow. To talk about old ties, as if there was any such thing between them—let alone that, did he really consider himself someone who cherished past affections? A man who did not even care for his own parents was shamelessly speaking of affection, how laughable!
With his intention laid bare by Lin Yuan, Chen Shimei felt a moment of discomfort. However, in the months spent in Yecheng, his learning may have made little progress, but his skin had grown considerably thicker.
