Chapter 2116: Chapter 2212: Can’t Compare to Your Wife

So that former class teacher has now become a major shareholder in Su Xuan’s company.

"He just invited me to dinner tonight? Do you want to join me, since you know him, I can just take you to meet him?"

Chen Chuyu looked at Su Xuan, smiling as he spoke. He found it strange himself why he so eagerly wanted Su Xuan to accompany him to this dinner meeting.

"Heh, this guy might be interested in you now."

Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin. To him, it seemed quite possible that Du Haitao had developed a crush on Chen Chuyu, and now that Chen Chuyu had broken up with her boyfriend, this was indeed quite an opportunity.

"Don’t talk nonsense! I’m not that charming. I’m not good-looking, can’t even compare to your wife."

After saying this, Chen Chuyu thought to himself, am I getting jealous? Why am I comparing myself to Su Xuan’s wife? In the past, he never cared for such comparisons because he found them really tiresome!

"To be honest, your wife is indeed beautiful. I’ve only seen one person who could rival her beauty."

"Are you talking about Pan Chenyu?"

Su Xuan said with a smile, while Chen Chuyu looked at Su Xuan with a surprised expression.

"No way, are you really from Huaqing? Why don’t I know you, and you even know Pan Chenyu?"

Su Xuan rubbed his nose, thinking to himself not only do I know him, but he’s also my wife.

"I do know the top beauty of Huaqing University. Actually, I’ve heard of you too, famously called the ’Female Fan Li’ of Huaxia University. People would joke that whoever marries you would save decades of hard work."

Su Xuan said with a smile.

"Uh... why don’t I know you?"

Looking at Su Xuan carefully again, he still found it strange as he had little impression of him.

"That’s normal, I’m rather average."

Su Xuan rubbed his nose. This isn’t feigned humility; during his university years, he was quite low-key, and he didn’t look as good as he does now. Overall, he was a bit chubby, so he didn’t leave such a good impression.

"Alright then, how can you even say such things? But seriously, are you coming with me or not?"

Looking at Su Xuan, Chen Chuyu asked softly. He really wanted Su Xuan to go with him. Somehow, having Su Xuan around gave him a special sense of security, likely related to past experiences, as Su Xuan was very capable.

"Alright then, as long as you don’t mind me being a third wheel."

Su Xuan rubbed his nose and said with a smile, while Chen Chuyu rolled his eyes at him, speaking with a slight coquettishness.

"What are you rambling about? There’s really nothing between us. We’re just in a boss-employee relationship."

Chen Chuyu quickly explained. Su Xuan valued that Su Xuan understood their relationship wasn’t something ambiguous.

Su Xuan wasn’t too concerned about this; what he cared more about was using this opportunity to see if he could discover anything important from Du Haitao!

Su Xuan wasn’t even sure if Du Haitao would remember him. Although Su Xuan’s appearance had changed somewhat since his university days, it hadn’t changed significantly. Chen Chuyu didn’t recognize him because they weren’t familiar before, so it made sense that he wouldn’t recognize Su Xuan now.

But Du Haitao was different. This shameless guy was beaten up by Su Xuan several times back then. If they met, maybe he would remember, so Su Xuan was considering whether to subdue him first, as being proactive might avoid future problems. Su Xuan thought there was definitely some logic to this.

However, Su Xuan thought maybe Du Haitao really was forgetful, having truly forgotten him. He couldn’t possibly have never seen a photo of him, especially since now they were focusing on recruiting him. They probably researched him thoroughly, which made Su Xuan find it quite curious.

Anyway, Su Xuan didn’t want to think too much at the moment. He would attend the dinner first and see what Du Haitao was like now.

Around six o’clock, Chen Chuyu drove his BMW to pick up Su Xuan from the Headhunting Company. Bringing Su Xuan out this time, Chen Chuyu seemed to be in a good mood. Over the past few days, he seemed to have moved on from the sadness of his breakup with his boyfriend. After all, that kind of boyfriend wasn’t worth cherishing. Someone who would be so tardy wasn’t worth his time, and Chen Chuyu realized he’d wasted five years of his life blindly.

"Not bad, looks like you’ve come out of Nan Huaijin’s shadow. I thought you’d be like many girls, crying and making a fuss."

"I’m not a little girl. For such a jerk, it’s not worth it."

Chen Chuyu explained, and by this time they had already left the Headhunting Company by car. They hadn’t driven far when suddenly a man looking quite disheveled rushed into the road. The screeching of brakes echoed loudly. In that moment, Chen Chuyu instantly stopped the car, narrowly avoiding a collision.

"Who is it, trying to get themselves killed?"

Chen Chuyu was nearly scared out of his wits, thinking it was fortunate that the car’s braking system worked well, otherwise the person would’ve been thrown into the air.

"Chuyu, I love you, give me another chance. My world can’t be without you!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. Without a doubt, it wasn’t anyone else but Nan Huaijin speaking. The fact that Nan Huaijin had such thick skin was quite something, given how determined Chen Chuyu had been when expressing her feelings back then. Yet, he’d still waited outside. If only he had put half the brazenness into protecting Chen Chuyu, they wouldn’t be in this state now.

"Nan Huaijin, are you crazy?"

Seeing the man in front of him was the very one she once loved deeply, Nan Huaijin, she felt there was something truly ironic about it. She never expected him to fall on such hard times, looking just like a vagrant.

"Yes, I’m crazy. Not seeing you for a day feels like years. I’ve been poisoned by your love, Chuyu, come back to me. I’ll treasure you twice as much. I was just scared of losing you back then, which is why I acted that way. After all, it’s the living who suffer the most. Don’t you think so?"

Nan Huaijin spoke with deep emotion. Su Xuan didn’t get out of the car at this point. Chen Chuyu had already gotten out, and onlookers gathered around to watch the spectacle, as a bunch of rubberneckers had no idea what was happening.

Su Xuan was speechless watching the scene.
