Fate Trading System – Chapter 353

Plan B

Heart-Stealing Operation 12

Chu Yanxi was now facing the biggest challenge in her 30 years of life.

She took the initiative to ask someone to start a relationship for the first time, but was disdained by the other party for being old.

Old… old…

Chu Yanxi seemed to hear the sound of a knife stabbing into her own heart.

Chu Yanxi’s face still maintained a smile, but that kind of smile, no matter how one looked at it, carried a meaning of grinding one’s teeth¹.

“No no, that’s not what I mean, I didn’t mean to say Auntie you want an old cow to eat tender grass².”

Stabbed again.

Su Xin suppressed a laugh, imagining the expression of the woman on the other end of the phone.

“It’s only ten years, are you really unwilling to give it a try with me? If we haven’t spent time together, how would we know we’re not suitable?”

“But… if we’re seen together, then other people will definitely gossip about me… Auntie, the gap between us is too big… not just in age, but also in social status and life experience.”

While listening to the young woman’s voice coming from the phone, Chu Yanxi thought about what her expression on the other side might be like.

Perhaps exasperated, but still having to feign a smile.

“Are you scared?”

Chu Yanxi asked in return, and very quickly, she heard the expected voice.

“Of course not.”

Su Xin wasn’t scared at all, she was just thinking about whether she needed to rely on Chu Yanxi to complete her task.

Without Chu Yanxi, she could totally find someone else to act out a play, and the process of the matter would not be affected in any way.

It was just that if that person was Chu Yanxi, the impact on Chu Muyu would be even greater.

Chu Yanxi knew the little girl wouldn’t be scared; the little girl’s acting skills were actually quite good.

Seemingly invested in doing everything, but actually not taking anything to heart.

This feeling, it was not just because of emotions; the contradictions on her body, the things she wanted to hide, all made Chu Yanxi want to investigate deeply.

It had been a long time since she had seen someone who caused a ripple in her, very rare.

Chu Yanxi again thought of the long scar on the little girl’s wrist, and the completely blank information.

If something like wrist-cutting was discovered in time, then she would definitely be sent to a hospital, not some small clinic.

The people Chu Yanxi sent to investigate later went deep into her hometown, and no one said she had ever been injured or had been in a hospital; since childhood she was very well-behaved and obedient, had no rebellious phase, and her family was harmonious.

The facts seen before her eyes contradicted what the past presented. Chu Yanxi believed more in what she saw, which was why she wanted to explore more deeply.

“I will go pick you up for a meal tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

“I will find a place for you to live, let’s live together, hmm?”

“Wait… isn’t this progress a bit too fast?”

Meow meow meow?

Didn’t she just confess, and I haven’t even accepted, how are we going to live together already???

Thick-skinned old pervert weird Auntie?

It’s outrageous.

“Don’t you need a place to live right now?”

“I do.”

“Then there’s no problem.”

“But… living together…”

“Living in the same house, not in the same bed, little baby, what are you thinking about, hmm?”

The end of Chu Yanxi’s sentence rose upwards. Her vocal tone leaned towards being magnificent, and the upward-lilting sound, tinged with a smile, made the listener’s heart tremble uncontrollably.

Su Xin touched her ear, a little flirty.

“Auntie, your form of address…”

Su Xin still had to pretend to be reluctant and continue speaking, but in reality, she was already about to roll around.

“Still calling me Auntie now?”

“Then what should I call you?”

“You can call me by my name, or the last two characters of my name. Of course, you can also call me… husband.”

The last two words were simply uncontrollably rippling.

“You you you… to be old and disrespectful!³”

Su Xin tapped the screen to hang up the phone, her expression hard to describe.

Oh mother, this person… how can she be so shameless.

Not shy at all.

To! Be! Old! And! Dis! Re! Spect! Ful!

Chu Yanxi’s mood was gloomy, so she did something she had never done before that surprised even herself.

She walked to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.

The woman inside, looking only at that face, one could not tell she was already 30 years old.

But the naturally imposing expression that flowed from between her brows revealed that she was not young.

This appearance truly could not be compared with those little girls who were still in their 20s, their faces full of collagen.

Chu Yanxi had always believed that seniority was her capital, and in their circle, it was indeed so; they didn’t look at age, only at methods.

So actually, she could be said to be a very young rising star. Although she had already been a commanding figure for ten years, compared to that group of old foxes in the business world she was still very young, but then again, compared to some new sharp talents, her age was indeed a bit older, placing her at a just-right stage.

At least when she came out to do things at 20, she was distrusted by people.

But now she suddenly became a little dissatisfied with her age, but if she were to have met the current little girl ten years ago, she might not have the feeling she has now.

Ten years ago, she was still busy handling all sorts of matters, wholeheartedly wanting to achieve a result, to make a mark⁴ in this circle, to prove to those people what real strength was.

And in these ten years, the achievements she obtained did not fail her efforts; her reputation expanded bit by bit, she secured this position, and even developed this family to be even more powerful.

Could it be said… that she was really old?

Would the little girl mind that there might be a generation gap between them?

Chu Yanxi thought for a moment, and decided to start taking good care of her face from tomorrow.

A kind of middle-aged vicissitude suddenly rushed towards her, making Chu Yanxi sigh.

Different from Chu Yanxi’s melancholic mood, Su Xin, after hanging up the phone, was about to go crazy from laughing on the bed.

How is this person so cute, holy shit, super cute and super flirty!

Su Xin could imagine Chu Yanxi’s expression when she said she disdained Chu Yanxi’s age.

That last “husband” was simply an awkward flirt, but for some reason it was super cute, and it really made one’s face blush and heart beat a little.

The information on Chu Yanxi given by Fourteen showed that this person’s romantic history was a blank slate; besides having rejected many people since she was young, she had basically never developed a relationship with anyone.

Was it that she was not interested in those people, or was it that she simply didn’t understand?

Su Xin turned over. Regardless of whether she understood or not, anyway, at this time, Chu Yanxi definitely knew what it was she really wanted.

Ah, I really look forward to Chu Muyu’s expression when she finds out about all this.

---

Ever since talking with Su Xin in the afternoon, Chu Muyu had been somewhat absent-minded⁵.

She stood on the street, watching the cars come and go, people walking back and forth in front of her, and suddenly had a sense of panic and bewilderment of not knowing where to go.

It seemed there was no place that could make her feel settled, and also no place that she now felt she absolutely had to go to.

In fact, at this very moment, she did not know where to go from here.

So she walked aimlessly on the street, following the crowd and the main flow, walking from dusk until evening.

She seemed to be thinking about something, but those fragments couldn’t stay in her mind for long before they disappeared.

It wasn’t until her mobile phone rang that she had a feeling of waking up from a long dream.

“Why did you only answer the phone after I called twice, what are you doing?”

It was Wu Yubing’s voice; the environment on his end was rarely quiet.

“Not doing anything, what’s up?”

“Are you on the street? I heard the sound of a horn.”

“En.”

“What happened? Why do you sound so absent-minded.”

“I don’t know either.”

Chu Muyu took a deep breath, squatted down by the roadside, and suddenly really wanted to cry.

“Did you make plans to hang out with anyone today?”

“No.”

“Then do you want to go hang out with us? A group of us made plans for a new place, let’s go together.”

“Okay.”

Chu Muyu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

At this time, she actually wanted more to find a place to quiet down, but, so what if she quieted down, she would still never be able to think of answers to those questions.

Why did she have to be so self-conflicted? The person who made her so conflicted was perhaps happily doing some other things right now. Why did she have to cause herself so much trouble.

Hai ah, why not go.

Starting from now, returning to her past life, without the friend Lin Xiaohuan, her life would not have any changes at all.

A noisy room. This was a newly opened bar, the drinks were discounted, and there were also attractive performances on the stage.

Chu Muyu blended into the environment with great ease. It was only when she was being pulled to drink that she felt she was real.

This was what was normal, everything about her was very good, instead of thinking about some messy things⁶, wasting time and life to walk aimlessly on the street without meaning.

“Drink up, have I ever been afraid?”

“Wow, Chu-jie is awesome!”

“Let’s go! Wa wa wa!”

The flashing lights and dynamic music, Chu Muyu drank alcohol with a grin, looking at the girl sticking close to Wu Yubing’s side, and her heart unexpectedly had not a single ripple.

It was as if the jealousy she felt⁷ for this person before, the hurt in her heart, were all fake.

She didn’t care at all, just like looking at a friend and his girlfriend, she wouldn’t have any feelings, and even wanted to laugh a little.

This feeling she had now, was it the feeling Wu Yubing had in the beginning.

Thinking that her being jealous and making a fuss was a very funny thing.

The atmosphere was extremely good, Chu Muyu felt that she was already a little drunk.

At this moment, she heard someone next to her, she didn’t know who, ask her a question.

“Chu-jie, do you know Lin Xiaohuan? Can you give me her contact information? I’d really like to get to know her, but unfortunately she keeps herself too well hidden. Could you pull a string and build a bridge⁸ for this little brother⁹.”

The upturned corners of Chu Muyu’s mouth immediately pressed down.

The alcohol made her consciousness even more blurry, so she frowned in annoyance, and made an impatient tsk sound with her mouth.

“Build your mother’s cunt build¹⁰.”

She pushed the wine bottle forward in front of her, stood up from the sofa, and got up to walk outside.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how they had poked her sore spot.

“Could it be that Chu-jie and Lin Xiaohuan’s relationship is not good?”

“It’s all your fault, why ask at a time like this.”

“I didn’t know, who knew she would blow up so easily.”

“I’ll go out and take a look, you guys continue to have fun.”

Wu Yubing stood up and walked out.
