Chapter 1450: I Care a Lot (1)

The next day at noon, Xiao Rou came to the shop early to prepare everything that needed preparation, and by the time Xu Qingqing arrived, Xiao Rou went directly to the place she had arranged with Zhou Chengchen.

After seeing the text message on Xi Siyan’s phone yesterday, Zhou Chengchen took it upon herself to arrange a meeting time and then deleted the message.

She knows that Xi Siyan can handle it; he just doesn’t bother to deal with it. After all, he won’t go back, and he has nothing to do with the Xi Family. If they like to entangle, let them be; he won’t care.

But Zhou Chengchen is very unhappy.

She has always been very unhappy.

Xi Siyan’s mother, well, although she wasn’t particularly good to him, at least she raised him. But the thing she did later was really disgusting. However, she didn’t try to gain anything from Xi Siyan afterward.

Zhou Chengchen feels she can barely tolerate that, but what is the Xi Family?

Forcing Xi Siyan to donate bone marrow is one thing, but now they want him to go back and work as a laborer?

To carry the burden of the Xi Family, make money for them, and let them enjoy the fruits of his labor, Zhou Chengchen has only two words for them: Haha!

As for the shares they promised to give Xi Siyan, Zhou Chengchen is disdainful. Her disdain doesn’t come from her family’s strong background but from understanding the insincerity in it.

Although Zhou Chengchen doesn’t understand business matters, coming from such a family, she’s aware of certain things. In these family enterprises, the Zhou Family and Shengshi Group are exceptions, where most of the shares are held by family members.

And in their parent’s generation, being only children, there are no complicated relatives to deal with.

But other family enterprises are not like this. Take the Xi Family as an example; Xi Siyan’s biological father is the current chairman and CEO of the Xi Family, but he actually holds few shares, and the whole Xi Family barely holds over fifty percent of the controlling power.

It can be imagined that the shares in Xi Siyan’s father’s hands wouldn’t be much either. To extract some ten to twenty percent from there would be pitifully thin.

So Xi Siyan going back is simply to work like a laborer, which they must certainly know, yet they remain shamelessly stubborn.

Unlike Xi Siyan, Zhou Chengchen has the time and energy to deal with these shameless people.

Xiao Rou arrived at the place Zhou Chengchen mentioned, and the two of them met.

"Not going in?"

The place Zhou Chengchen arranged with the Xi Family was a high-end restaurant, but she was standing just outside by the flower bed, wrapped in a fluffy down jacket, wearing big sunglasses on her face.

Xiao Rou spoke up, and Zhou Chengchen took off her sunglasses, breathed out a puff of white air, and said, "No rush."

Xiao Rou looked at Zhou Chengchen with a slight daze, not because of her words, but because today Zhou Chengchen was wearing makeup, and it was very exquisite. What stood out most was her lipstick—a pure, bright red, blazing lips, which made Zhou Chengchen’s aura completely different.

"Cheng Chen, you... this...?"

Zhou Chengchen raised her chin, her eyes turning sharp, "How does it look? Does it feel domineering?"

Xiao Rou honestly nodded. Zhou Chengchen has always been impressive; back in school, she had the nickname "Brother Chen." When she gets sharp, she’s got the full queen demeanor.

Though usually she’s too playful, which somewhat diminishes that aura.

But now, with an exquisite makeup look paired with blazing red lips and a sharp gaze, her aura is overwhelmingly strong.
