Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

Chapter 97 Fallen Heiress × Revengeful CEOSecret AdmirerPartner (16)

Chen Jiao didn't take it seriously.

“What can he do to me? We’re both orphans with nothing. If he dares to mess with me, I’ll drag him to his death anytime. If you’re really upset then, you can come and die with me.”

What's so scary? Her parents are gone, her good life is gone, she doesn't want to live anymore.

Anyway, even if she dies, her parents will be waiting for her before she dies, and her brother will be there for her after she dies, so she won't be lonely.

Chen Xing gave her a disgruntled look.

"You have a big heart."

He didn't really want to live, but he always thought about his only sister and hoped she could live a good life.

However, they overlooked the fact that, given her temperament and ambition, if she were to fall from grace, she wouldn't be content; she would never live a happy life.

She wasn't afraid of death, but he insisted on keeping her alive.

He lowered his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked at her again and understood many things.

"Alright, I misunderstood before. Anyway, don't make yourself suffer."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiao's mood finally brightened, and she looked at him curiously. This time, it seemed that he had truly come to his senses.

I couldn't help but vent my frustrations.

"I haven't suffered any other grievances lately, I'm just angry with you the most. I take revenge on others on the spot, but I've been holding back from wanting to beat you up. You should secretly thank me for being my brother."

Chen Xing chuckled, sighed, and changed the subject, "So, are you still coming home with me now?"

Chen Jiao glared at him, "Do you even know what being kept is? I'm living quite well now, don't worry. Go on with your work, I have something to discuss with Lu Huai'an."

Chen Xing wondered what could possibly be wrong with her, but seeing how anxious she was to send him away, he reluctantly got up.

I wanted to give her some advice, but seeing her impatient expression, I held back.

Turn around and leave.

When Lu Huai'an entered the room, he saw Chen Jiao sitting comfortably in his seat. He frowned and remained silent with a cold expression.

They really think they're at home.

On the contrary, Chen Jiao was in a good mood when she saw him arrive. She got up and gave up her seat to watch him start working, while she sat down opposite him and boldly made her unreasonable request.

"I want to open a shop."

Lu Huai'an looked up and saw that Chen Jiao looked excited and seemed to be in a good mood, not going crazy.

Is it just a sudden urge to work?

Regardless of his reaction, Chen Jiao excitedly took out her small dagger.

Lu Huai'an instinctively tried to get up and dodge, blaming himself for letting his guard down too soon.

Chen Jiao made no unnecessary movements, but instead stared intently at him.

"Let me tell you, I've been studying swordsmanship at home alone lately, and guess what I discovered?"

"what?"

He dared not guess.

Chen Jiao approached mysteriously, and upon seeing his backward leaning motion, frowned in displeasure.

"Tsk, what are you afraid of? I'm talking about carpentry. I have the potential to become a master craftsman."

Since she had entrusted the revenge to Chen Xing and Lu Huai'an was temporarily untouchable, she needed to find something new to do.

I wandered around various knife shops, initially wanting to study which knife hurt the most when it cut someone and which could dismember them.

But you can't just chop people down, but wood is different; it's practically the perfect material for venting your frustrations.

Lu Huai'an pursed his thin lips slightly, "Are you sure?"

Chen Jiao was overjoyed, unable to read his expression. "Of course I'm sure. You don't understand, so why do you have so many questions?"

Lu Huai'an said irritably, "Yes, I don't understand. So why did you come to me with this?"

"I need money and manpower to help me with opening the shop," she said matter-of-factly.

Lu Huai'an looked at it for a long time, wanting to refuse, wanting to make things difficult, wanting to make demands, and then resignedly made a phone call to arrange it.

It wasn't for any other reason; she was still holding a knife in her hand.

Chen Jiao saw that he had made the arrangements and went to handle the details himself, so she didn't need Lu Huai'an to worry about the follow-up. He didn't even say thank you, just used it and then threw it away.

After all, their current relationship is one of sharing a bed but being mortal enemies; saying thank you would be too formal.

From that day on, everyone was busy.

Chen Jiao was busy with his wood carving art, while the others were busy with their careers. They didn't bother each other and maintained a harmonious atmosphere.

They weren't completely undisturbed; Chen Xing and Liang Qingyuan would often send one-sided greetings.

For a whole month, Chen Jiao would be asleep early every time Lu Huai'an came home.

He could only hug the person halfway around to sleep, and occasionally he would still be kicked. He chose to endure it and bide his time.

But Chen Jiao no longer hits or scolds him; he's become unusually calm.

Curious, Lu Huai'an summoned the assistant he had previously sent to liaise with Chen Jiao.

"That store is doing very well?"

The assistant frowned. How should I put it? It's not a question of good or bad. Well, it's definitely not good, but isn't that what should be expected?

Carefully consider your wording.

"Although it's quite unique, it does have its own target audience. A newly opened haunted house placed a lot of orders a couple of days ago."

An answer that's flawless, but I won't mention anything about revenue or whether it will break even.

What is that? A haunted house?

Lu Huai'an was confused about what his assistant was saying, and the assistant was confused about what he was wondering about. He thought his boss knew about his future boss's wife's unique hobbies.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Lu Huai'an walked into Chen Jiao's shop.

I glanced at it, paused for a moment, then looked up again, calming myself as I scanned each item.

He thought it was because Chen Jiao's creations were so ugly that they could be used in a haunted house.

Suddenly, everything in front of me became clear.

It is indeed unique in style, absurd and terrifying, yet inexplicably somewhat oppressive.

He walked into the corner, looked at the focused Chen Jiao, stared at him quietly for a long time, and then turned and left.

V09 looked at the focused Yao Xiaoxiao and said, "Why don't you change the style of your carving? This shop looks gloomy now, it's hard to make money here."

Yao Xiaoxiao admired her artwork, meticulously crafting it. "A useful style is a good style, and don't you think it's quite cute?"

His hands did not slow down in the slightest.

Huh? It's not cute at all, it looks creepy with its green face and fangs.

V09 dared not comment, "It's alright, it's very unique, but the male lead seems to think you're sick, so he called his doctor friend who's far away overseas to ask for advice."

That blind NPC, what's wrong with his Xiaoxiao?

Yao Xiaoxiao smiled. "And the result?"

V09 reported truthfully, "They said...you might have been traumatized, have some psychological problems, are sick, and need treatment. Anyway, the symptoms match up."

According to netizens in this novel's world, Chen Jiao is currently just a morally bankrupt but respectable scoundrel.

Xiaoxiao's acting was so good, what's wrong with her? The stupid male lead and his misleading doctor friend are truly blind and incompetent.

However, the story of the female protagonist being humble and abused has now been distorted beyond recognition.

The art style is strange. The young lady has been traumatized, and her personality has indeed changed, but she has not become insecure. Instead, she has become moody and prone to going crazy.

The male protagonist's revenge plan was also put on hold for a time. He worked as a slave for a month but didn't see any sign of the other party liking him.
