Chapter 23 - Destiny

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chi Xiao was standing on the busy street, looking at the traffic, but she was very annoyed.

She took the job of a nanny and went out to buy vegetables seriously.

The result was not satisfactory.

It was likely because she had not gone out to buy anything for a long time that Chi Xiao only felt that nothing was going well today. Even the auntie at the market was cold to her.

Fortunately, she met a tall man on the way. The man was very handsome and his entire body was filled with a scholarly aura. He looked like an intellectual.

The man helped Chi Xiao out of her predicament and even exchanged names with her.

The man’s name was Wen Yu. He was a university professor.

Hearing Chi Xiao’s name, the corners of Wen Yu’s mouth curled up. He replied gently, “That’s a good name.”

Thus, the two of them went shopping and walked together. After walking for a short distance, they arrived at the place where the Mo family’s chauffeur had parked.

However, the Mo family’s car that had been parked there a moment ago had disappeared. Chi Xiao paused for a moment and her phone rang at the same time. After the call was connected, it was the calm voice of the chauffeur from before.

“Eldest young madam, the elder urgently needs a car. You should wait for a while. Otherwise, can you take a taxi back? After all, with your face, it’s quite safe.”

Before Chi Xiao could reply, the other end of the phone hung up.

“Did something happen?” Wen Yu also spoke at the right time. It was so coincidental that it was unbelievable.

“It’s nothing. The chauffeur at home is dead. I might have to walk home by myself.”

Wen Yu paused and a question mark silently appeared on his head. The chauffeur… was dead?

Even though he had doubts, Wen Yu still responded to the mission given by his higher-ups and offered to send Chi Xiao Home.

Chi Xiao naturally did not reject and followed Wen Yu into the car. It was a very cheap car.

“Mr. Wen, you must loves cars very much,” Chi Xiao suddenly said after getting into the car.

Wen Yu, who was about to put on his seatbelt, paused for a moment. Then, he gently put on his seatbelt and smiled, “Yes, this car has followed me for many years. I love it very much.”

Chi Xiao smiled kindly and said, “You must be a very good person. You are so good to cars, let alone people.”

Wen Yu looked at Chi Xiao’s face and held back his disgust. He smiled calmly and said, “Sigh, but a sincere person also has their disadvantages. It’s too easy to get hurt.”

These words were right. Chi Xiao nodded in agreement.

Wen Yu asked, “Where do you live?”

Chi Xiao did not decline and directly gave him the address of the Mo family’s old residence.

Wen Yu looked very surprised. “This is the wealthy district. I didn’t expect the rich to come out to buy vegetables themselves.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I’m not a rich person. I’m the nanny of a rich family,” Chi Xiao replied expressionlessly.

Wen Yu’s expression froze visibly. Then, he said, “You really like to joke.”

Chi Xiao smiled and did not reply.

But it was this reaction that made Wen Yu even more shocked and uncertain. He quietly drove the car, thinking about the request of his employer over and over again.

That’s right, this Wen Yu was not a professor at all, but a professional swindler.

A love swindler.

Usually, he relied on swindling rich women’s feelings to get their money for a living.

Two days ago, he was located. He was given two million yuan upfront to swindle an ugly freak called Chi Xiao.

It had to be said that when Wen Yu first received Chi Xiao’s information, he did not care. Although there was a scar on her face, her body was still very graceful. He could totally do it.

However, when he saw her in person just now, Wen Yu was almost frightened by Chi Xiao’s face.

Perhaps it was because he was guilty of being a swindler, but when Wen Yu saw her face, he almost felt that the scar on her face was alive and it was wriggling.

This was not only disgusting, it was more like fear inducing.

God knows how much mental preparation he had just made to run out and help Chi Xiao out of the situation according to the plot.

Following his conversation with Chi Xiao, Wen Yu realized that Chi Xiao was unexpectedly a very simple girl who was very gullible. He had only said some specious words, but Chi Xiao was about to reveal all of her family’s assets to him.

“Oh right, is there anyone else in your family? Why are you out to buy groceries?” Wen Yu started to try to trick her again.

Chi Xiao curled the corners of her lips where Wen Yu could not see. She said softly, “I still have my father, stepmother, and stepsister at home. Only I can go out to buy groceries.”

Wen Yu immediately put on a protective mask. “Does your father not treat you well? It’s said that having a stepmother will give birth to a stepfather.”

Unexpectedly, it was Chi Xiao who raised her head and smiled innocently. “It’s alright. My father doesn’t treat me well, and I don’t treat him well either. After I got married, the first thing I asked of my partner was to get him to find trouble with my father.”

“Ah? You’re married?”

Wen Yu was so shocked that he suddenly stepped on the brakes.

Chi Xiao felt a little strange. “Why are you so surprised? It’s just marriage. I’m already old enough. My child is already four years old.”

Wen Yu was even more shocked.. Although he could be said to be a gigolo, he had never been a third party!
