Chapter 264: Chapter 264 - 261: Can’t See How You Resemble...

Where did this wild chicken come from?

Jing Luozhou asked indifferently, "You know her?"

Shi Su glanced at the young woman again.

More than just know her.

She’s Chen Xinfei, the heiress of Chen Holding.

Not many people were aware of Shi Su’s status in the Shi Family, but the Chen Family and the Shi Family were old acquaintances. Although Chen Xinfei’s relationship with Shi Yunyin had cooled significantly and they rarely contacted each other now, they were as close as sisters when they were young. So she had an unusually detailed understanding of Shi Su, the eldest daughter of the Shi Family who was not favored.

In her childhood, she often mocked her with the arrogance of Miss Chen.

Chen Family’s upbringing was quite decent; Chen Xinfei at most mocked back then without going as far as bullying like Shi Yunyin did.

But living in a privileged environment, Chen Xinfei was accustomed to a wealthy life, often looking at Shi Su, who grew up almost in the dust of the Shi Family, with condescending eyes as if looking at a lower creature, disdainful and distant.

The families often interacted, and over time, Chen Xinfei also got used to Shi Su’s presence. Occasionally when visiting the Shi Family with her parents, she would often demand Shi Su to fetch her drinks, bring her fruits, making Shi Su do whatever the servants did. Yet, she never ate the food or drank the drinks Shi Su served, seemingly just wanting to make her work, showing great disdain for anything Shi Su offered her.

She simply enjoyed her self-superiority, relishing the vast, mysterious satisfaction of the disparity that she perhaps didn’t even fully understand back then.

The occasion Shi Su remembered most vividly was when Chen Xinfei was dining in the Shi Family’s living room and listened to Shi Lingkang scold Shi Su harshly, denigrating her worth entirely, saying that such a girl wouldn’t even be bought if sold. Chen Xinfei naively said, "Isn’t it true, Mr. Shi? On the news, it says many young girls are sold to remote areas and are quite popular. If sold to those places, there should be buyers, right?"

Back then, Chen Xinfei’s parents felt her words were inappropriate and mildly scolded her.

Chen Xinfei didn’t feel she said anything wrong, continued eating silently, and afterward dragged Shi Yunyin to play.

The two of them hugged various expensive dolls, playing house in the living room. When they noticed Shi Su standing aside watching them play, it was like they felt everything around them sullied by Shi Su’s lower-class air, and they unhappily retreated into the room with Shi Yunyin, slamming the door shut, cutting off Shi Su’s silent gaze.

Truthfully, Shi Su’s impression of this Miss Chen only stems from those events; her understanding of her isn’t extensive. Eventually, she only heard that the Chen Family’s business flourished, and on Chen Xinfei’s eighteenth birthday, her father bought her a private jet for two hundred million.

She indeed was a very pampered heiress of a top-tier prestigious family, whom even Shi Yunyin occasionally envied in private.

Chen Xinfei looked Shi Su up and down, noticing the carefully packed shopping bags before her. Her expression darkened significantly upon seeing the Himalayan platinum Hermes bag—something she had been on a waiting list for months yet surprisingly appeared in Shi Su’s hands in minutes, gifted by the Mr. Jing.

"I’ve been on the waiting list for this bag for two, maybe three months, and they kept asking me to wait. What does this mean?" She questioned the mall’s VIP service desk staff displeased.

"I’m sorry, Miss Chen, this isn’t the bag you reserved. Recently, designers from Paris and the Netherlands just happened to fly in for a luxury exhibit with this newly crafted Himalayan platinum bag for display, and Miss Shi Su, who visited us tonight, bought it just this afternoon."

Chen Xinfei was displeased, "A reservation is a reservation; no matter what, I should have more right to get this bag ahead of some random people. Since it’s already packed, just charge it to Chen Holding, and I’ll take the bag."

As she spoke, she reached out intending to take the shopping bag herself.

"I’m sorry, Miss Chen, but that’s not possible. The bill has already been placed under Yu Jing Group. We really can’t make that decision." The staff hurriedly intervened, apologizing repeatedly to Chen Xinfei, "We’ll definitely expedite the bag you’re waiting for, but this one you really can’t take."

Upon hearing the words "Yu Jing Group," no matter how displeased she was, Chen Xinfei didn’t insist further, withdrawing slightly and again sneakily glimpsing at Shi Su incredulously.

Shi Su never spoke throughout, merely watching coldly as the staff blocked Chen Xinfei, as her beautifully groomed face slowly turned into one rare to see, filled with suppressed anger from being bested.

Jing Luozhou also stood aloof, arms crossed, watching the shrew standing there causing a scene. He said leisurely beside Shi Su, "I really don’t see how you resemble a fragile little white flower. Why does any wild chicken that comes along think it can pluck your feathers?"

Chen Xinfei sharply heard this sentence. The young man’s voice was pleasant, a refreshing mix of nobility and insouciance that made one involuntarily look over.

She was honestly stunned to see Shi Su afford something worth millions, and being someone with high standards and little room for others in her line of sight, she only saw Shi Su and hadn’t noticed the young man beside her. Now abruptly, her eyes turned to Jing Luozhou.

Seeing the young man casually with hands in his pants pockets, wearing a blue casual shirt, Chen Xinfei was first stunned and then suddenly suspiciously exclaimed, "Are you Jing..."

Jing Luozhou didn’t give her a chance to finish, wearing an expression of displeasure at being interrupted he uttered four impatiens words, "Talks too much."

Chen Xinfei’s expression stiffened, her fingertips tightened slightly on the handbag.

Jing Luozhou didn’t know her.

But she knew him.

Chen Holding held a promising status in Jiang City and even surrounding provinces and cities, barely making it to the list of prestigious families on par with the Jing Family.

Just last month her parents discussed that for their precious daughter’s prospective marriage, it should be a well-matched, esteemed partner.

And this esteemed..."

If it truly wasn’t possible to ascend to the unmatched Jing Jihan, then the second son of the Jing family was also a good choice. Although a bit young, he was undoubtedly a dragon among men and in a few years, he would rival his elder brother, saying she, at twenty-four, was only two years older than Mr. Jing—the match was quite fitting.

If Chen Xinfei agreed, they would immediately approach the Jing Family to discuss the matter, wanting to connect with them eventually, believing their family barely qualified for it.
