Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

Chapter 108 Fallen Heiress × Revengeful CEOSecret AdmirerPartner (27)

Lu Huai'an returned home with a belly full of resentment.

Chen Jiao never even considered waiting for him. She didn't come with him, nor did she go back together. She even allowed people with ulterior motives to get close to her, all of which made him feel terrible.

After washing up, I felt awkward and angry looking at the person who was already asleep. I snorted and chose to go out and sleep on the sofa.

The next morning, he woke up early, ate breakfast with a dark face, set aside Chen Jiao's portion, looked at the still sleeping person, went over and covered her with the blanket, did everything with a cold face, and went to work with a heavy atmosphere.

Chen Jiao said he knew nothing about this.

I woke up and went to the store as usual, but today I had an unexpected customer.

Chen Jiao was so engrossed in the carving that a shadow fell over his head.

Jiang Chen came in and sat down next to her.

Chen Jiao glanced at the person who came in, was surprised for a moment, but continued with her own business. She had only a little bit left to do and didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being.

Jiang Chen understood and didn't interrupt, silently watching her carve.

When the time was right, I picked up a small item and started learning myself, which I found quite interesting.

After a long while, Chen Jiao finally finished his masterpiece, only to find that Jiang Chen's work was ugly and only 20% complete.

Rubbish.

Jiang Chen keenly noticed this and chuckled softly.

"It seems I really don't have any talent. Can you teach me?"

Chen Jiao glanced at him arrogantly, then took the things from his hand.

"See? If you move like that, your knife skills are terrible, and your aesthetic sense is terrible too."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Yes, your change does make it look smoother."

Chen Jiao carved confidently, while Jiang Chen watched her quietly, then reached out and removed the wood shavings from her hair without any hesitation or care.

Chen Jiao noticed his movement and suddenly looked up, meeting his eyes as he looked at her. She frowned, clicked her tongue softly, and handed the things in her hand to Jiang Chen.

"You can do the rest yourself."

Seeing Jiang Chen take the knife and focus intently on carving, Chen Jiao raised an eyebrow, twirling the knife in her hand, and after a long while said with certainty:

"you like me?"

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, without even raising his head, and said casually, "Hmm."

Sure enough, Chen Jiao knew she wasn't mistaken; she didn't like anyone staring at her like that.

But that's not right either, it didn't happen before.

Besides, didn't she already give up on seducing him? It's inexplicable.

I'm too lazy to be perfunctory; I'll just like what I like.

It's normal to like her. Who wouldn't like someone as beautiful, intelligent, and poised as her? One more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

Before long, Jiang Chen finished what he was doing and showed it to Chen Jiao. The disdain in her eyes became tangible.

Jiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about I come to learn from you when I have time in the future and pay you tuition?"

Chen Jiao looked him up and down, casually offering a critical remark.

"Are you really here to learn?"

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and said bluntly, "Not entirely. I mainly want an opportunity for you to get to know me better, and for me to get to know you better too."

Chen Jiao doesn't like him right now; at least he can't see any affection in her eyes. But who can say what will happen in the long run?

He had been avoiding Chen Jiao for the past month, not thinking about him or asking about him, but it seemed that his heart was something he couldn't control.

It was much easier to frankly admit that I wasn't curious or pitying her, but simply had different feelings for her.

But he was still uncertain about the future. If there was a future, would Chen Jiao be willing to go abroad with him, or would he stay for her sake?

Of course, the best outcome seems to be that after they get to know each other, Chen Jiao doesn't like him, and he can choose to let go gracefully.

Jiang Chen is not someone who makes impulsive decisions. This is the first time he has ever been involved in matters of the heart. After realizing his feelings, choosing to come directly to Chen Jiao was already an impulsive act.

He hadn't really thought about his options yet.

Chen Jiao didn't care what he thought; she only knew what she thought.

She curled her lip indifferently, "It's your business if you want to understand me, but I don't want to understand you. In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world: those I don't like and those I like for the time being. You belonged to the latter just now."

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes slightly, "Then what kind of person would you like?"

Chen Jiao raised an eyebrow and gave him a disdainful look, then proceeded to rattle off her demands, counting them off on her fingers.

"I don't know, but I'm not interested in getting to know other people. For me to like someone, they have to be good-looking, have a good figure, understand me, go along with me, know how to please me, not be a spoilsport, not say things I don't like to hear, listen to everything I say, carry out orders immediately, and never go west if I say east. Everything is based on me... That's all for now."

She has no interest in understanding others; she only needs to be high above and fawned over. If that's not possible, she'll find someone else.

As Jiang Chen listened to her wishful request, his brows furrowed more and more. How exactly did the Chen family raise her? It turned out that he only knew the tip of the iceberg of Chen Jiao.

Regardless of what the future holds, if Chen Jiao doesn't change his personality, he's likely to cause problems. With the intention of correcting his behavior as much as possible, Jiang Chen carefully worded his advice:

"Liking is mutual, and so is love. If you don't understand a person, how can you talk about these things? Besides, judging from your requirements, it seems you just want to find a servant who will obey you in everything?"

The lecture was quite didactic, but fortunately, the tone was calm with a hint of doubt, so Chen Jiao didn't notice anything amiss and kindly offered to clear things up for him.

"Yes, I like obedient servants. Anyway, I'm rich and good-looking, and there are plenty of people willing to fawn over me. If one doesn't work out, I'll just replace him with another. Why bother getting to know someone else?"

Oh, although the money is Lu Huai'an's money now, her brother will definitely earn more in the future.

Jiang Chen tried to make her understand, "But the people you're talking about might all have ulterior motives; they don't genuinely like you."

Chen Jiao scoffed, "What would I need to do with my true feelings? I can't eat them anyway. As long as they can make me happy, that's enough. You want to say they're after my money? So what? I love money too. If they're after my body, then I'll be after theirs too. Isn't that how the world is?"

When the Chen family fell, all those who followed her ran away. She realized that money was the best thing. What did love and affection matter compared to money and power?

Jiang Chen frowned deeply upon hearing her words.

Chen Jiao seemed to have no heart at all, but he knew that wasn't true. She had drunk too much at that time and cried so sadly; how could she be completely indifferent to feelings?

Moreover, although she spoke coldly, she was undeniably kind to Chen Xing, sharp-tongued but protective of him in every way.

After thinking for a moment, she tried to guide the conversation, "Isn't sincerity important? For example, aren't you and your brother and sister sincere with each other?"

Chen Jiao frowned, looking at him with a "What nonsense are you talking about?" expression.

"My brother is my brother, not some stranger. How can you compare him to others? Although my brother is a bit slow and sometimes doesn't understand what people are saying, he's definitely the best person for me in the whole world. Blood is thicker than water, don't you understand?"

Is Jiang Chen perhaps an orphan?
