Chapter 563: I’m a Little Embarrassed

Su Jin felt a little embarrassed after she said that. She actually called herself a goddess. In front of a ruthless person like Xi Chenxiao, calling herself a goddess was indeed a bit pretentious. Xi Chenxiao was more concerned about the matter of the firearms goddess, so he did not notice Su Jin’s uneasiness. Xi Chenxiao explained to Su Jin patiently,

“It’s nothing. Xi Corporation is also involved in the military industry. Recently, our designers haven’t been able to design any good products, so sales volume has been very low. This is not a good thing for the company, so we need to innovate, or we’ll be replaced by other industry players very soon. Finding the goddess of firearms is our only chance to improve sales!”

Su Jin understood immediately when she heard this. She thought she had offended the devil before, but now it seemed like he just wanted her to join Xi Corporation. Since she was now Xi Chenxiao’s wife, it was also her business, so Su Jin asked,

“Then, what kind of design are you looking for?”

Xi Chenxiao thought that Su Jin was just curious. He did not think that the goddess of firearms that they were trying so hard to find was the girl in front of him. Xi Chenxiao felt that since she was his wife, there was no need to hide anything. He picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to Su Jin while explaining,

“Weapons evolved very quickly. We want to make the latest stealth aircraft and better guns.”

Su Jin ate the piece of fruit Xi Chenxiao fed her. When she heard these words, she figured that the current designer of Xi Corporation’s military arm probably was not familiar with the latest planes. As for guns, there should be no progress at all. Otherwise, why would he be so eager to find her? Xi Chenxiao looked at Su Jin eating the fruit and said calmly,

“Girl, what do you think about someone buying a burial plot for your mother?”

Su Jin, who was still thinking about a new aircraft, immediately became serious when she heard Xi Chenxiao’s question. Her mother’s life or death situation was still unknown and the first lady had bought a burial plot for her… There must be some unspeakable truth behind this. Su Jin replied with a serious expression,

“I think there’s something wrong with the first lady!”

When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he also agreed that there was something wrong with the first lady. If she knew Su Jin’s mother and learned that her friend had died in an accident, why did she just buy a burial plot without informing her friend’s child? It was very strange. Xi Chenxiao frowned as he replied,

“Really? What do you think is wrong? Perhaps the first lady felt sympathy after learning about your mother’s death and bought the burial plot?”

Su Jin glared at Xi Chenxiao when she heard this. Her mother’s life or death situation was still unknown, how could he say that her mother was dead? It was too much. Wasn’t Su Jin’s rebirth for the sake of revenge and to give her mother a good life? Su Jin was a little agitated as she said,

“Shut your mouth. My mom is fine. You’re not allowed to say that!”

Xi Chenxiao did not expect Su Jin to be so agitated. But that person was Su Jin’s mother after all. Anyone else might have an even bigger reaction. Xi Chenxiao hugged Su Jin and comforted,

“Darling, don’t be agitated. I’m just citing an example. I think your mother is fine too.”

Su Jin nodded in satisfaction when she heard this. After all, no one had seen her mother’s body after the accident. Whether her mother was dead or alive remained something to be investigated. When she thought about the first lady buying her mother a burial plot, Su Jin fell into deep thought again and said seriously,

“I didn’t know anything before this. It was my uncle who told me that the first lady and my mom are very good friends.”

“So, it’s more likely that the first lady bought my mom a burial plot out of consideration for their long friendship. This should be a good thing in people’s eyes, and she could have done it openly, but the first lady did it in secret. That’s the problem!”

When Xi Chenxiao heard this, he confirmed that Su Jin did not know anything about this at all. However, the first lady’s deliberate concealment indeed made people suspicious. Now that Su Jin said it, Xi Chenxiao agreed wholeheartedly. He frowned as he replied very seriously,

“You’re right.”

Su Jin continued thinking as she heard Xi Chenxiao’s agreement. It was obviously a good thing, but why did she hide it? Su Jin thought more about it and still could not figure out, so she said to Xi Chenxiao in confusion,

“Quickly think with me. Why is it like this?”
