Chapter 645: No trump card, just a lamb to be slaughtered
Mrs. Wang was in a very good mood when she received the news from Gu Jia. The reason why she said such harsh words yesterday was naturally to stimulate Gu Jia. She didn't expect the effect to be so good. It seems that she was right about this woman.
Chen An arrived at the appointment on time at noon. The location was a very private restaurant that looked upscale.
When I walked into the front hall, I saw Gu Jia sitting there looking forward to it.
"Sister Jia, there was some traffic on the road. Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time." Chen An greeted with a smile.
"No, the dishes here haven't been served yet. I'll leave today's matters to you, Xiao Chen."
"We're just helping each other, don't take it too seriously." Chen An looked relaxed and casual, which made Gu Jia like him even more.
Gu Jia led the way and the two of them soon came to a private room. They pushed open the door and went in. The area inside was quite large and the decoration was very unique. Hearing the sound, Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on a solid wood chair sipping tea, stood up.
Even though it wasn't the first time I met Chen An, I was still amazed by his outfit. The simple and well-fitting suit looked several levels higher on this man. The slightly open collar gave him a casual and unrestrained look.
The three-dimensional facial features, coupled with the confident and high-spirited temperament, are simply too charming.
"As soon as I walked in, I could feel the extraordinaryness of this restaurant. From the decoration to the atmosphere, everything is exquisite. Mrs. Wang's vision is really extraordinary."
Mrs. Wang smiled, "Xiao Chen, you are so sweet. Don't call me Mrs. Wang. You and Gu Jia are friends. Just call me Sister Wang. The owner of this restaurant is a royal chef. The dishes are also very delicious. You can try them later."
"Then I won't be polite. With the royal chef's skills as a backup, it's really something to look forward to."
The three of them sat down. Mrs. Wang took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Chen An and said with a smile, "This is the best jasmine tea. I usually like it. How about you try it?"
Chen An picked up the teacup, and the sweet and elegant scent of jasmine made him feel extremely relaxed. The taste made Chen An's eyes light up. This was definitely the best jasmine tea he had ever tasted.
"Sister Wang's taste really doesn't disappoint. It tastes very good."
"Xiao Chen, please stop praising your sister. When it comes to taste, I'm definitely not as good as you, a young literary writer."
"Sister, you are too kind. I have only made some small achievements."
"Xiao Chen, you are too modest. You have achieved such success at such a young age. You will surely achieve even more in a few years." Mrs. Wang was very happy. It seemed that her feeling that day was right. The young man in front of her was indeed interested in her. Her charm was recognized, which made her feel a little proud.
"Xiao Chen has been busy all morning, so he must be hungry. Gu Jia, have someone serve the food, and we can eat and chat at the same time."
After leaving the box, Gu Jia still had an indescribable feeling in her heart, even though she had comforted herself before that Mrs. Wang was not very old and still had some charm.
But when compared with Andy and Lin Na, she felt sorry for Chen An and secretly made up her mind that she must pay extra attention to the things Chen An asked her to help with in the future.
In the private room, Chen An sat between the two of them. After all the dishes were served, Mrs. Wang only moved her chopsticks a few times and began to show her attentiveness and thoughtfulness as a mature woman.
While chatting casually, he helped Chen An pick up food and even took the initiative to wipe the corners of Chen An's mouth. His behavior was very intimate.
Mr. Chen also showed his acting skills very well. Even when Mrs. Wang was wiping the corner of his mouth, he seemed very awkward and subconsciously grabbed Mrs. Gu's thigh. Gu Jia was shocked, and when she found out the reason, she felt even more guilty. She also acquiesced to Chen An's subconscious behavior.
Chen An stopped there and gave Gu Jia an apologetic look.
This made Gu Jia feel very uncomfortable. Even though the food was delicious and even the best she had ever eaten, it could not bring her any good mood.
In his heart, he couldn't help but curse Mrs. Wang for being shameless. She looked as if she needed a favor from someone. No, bah, bah, bah, this woman did need a favor from someone, and it was a shameless request at that.
I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw that my phone rang soon after.
"Hey, what's wrong, Sister Chen?"
"Okay, I understand, I'll go back right now."
Mrs. Wang pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong, Gu Jia? Is there something wrong at home?"
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Wang, my son woke up and insisted on going out to play. The babysitter couldn't stop him, so he kept crying."
"A child is a mother's second life, so go back quickly."
Chen An pretended not to know the two's tricks, "Jia Jie, your child is at the age of being the most energetic and loves to play. He definitely can't stay at home."
Gu Jia smiled awkwardly. The more Chen An helped her, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"Gu Jia, Xiao Chen is right. Children are at the age of playing and cannot stay at home all the time. So you can go to my house in the evening, fill out a form, and let the child go to school quickly."
"Thank you, Mrs. Wang. You guys eat Xiao Chen first. I'm leaving now."
After Gu Jia left, Chen An was very angry after being teased for a long time. Moreover, Mrs. Wang's intentions were not concealed at all, so there was no need for him to play dumb. However, before that, there were still some doubts that needed to be clarified.
"Sister Wang, what kind of woman do you think Gu Jia is?"
After hearing Chen An's question, Mrs. Wang thought for a moment and gave an answer, "A woman who is a little clever and very ambitious."
Hearing this insightful summary, Chen An couldn't help but smile and praised, "Auntie, you are actually an extremely smart and ambitious woman."
Hearing Chen An's change in address and the deliberate emphasis on ambition in his tone, Mrs. Wang naturally understood his hint.
She took Chen An's hand and placed it on her thigh calmly, with a somewhat miserable expression on her face, "Behind the glamorous life, there are always some unknown difficulties, especially for women of my age.
My husband is busy with work all year round and rarely comes home. My son is in boarding school, so I can only get together with a group of other wives every day to drink afternoon tea and play cards to kill time.
Chen An's fingers carefully felt the elasticity of the lady's skin, and his voice was slightly amused and regretful, "Auntie is now in her prime, the most mature and charming age for a woman. Unfortunately, there is gain and loss, this is an eternal truth."
Mrs. Wang suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said with some resentment, "Why are you being so cruel? Can't you be a little more gentle with me?"
"There are too many women who deserve my sympathy. Even though I feel sorry for them, I can't take care of them all."
Mrs. Wang was a little confused about Chen An's thoughts, but given the current situation, she could only use her own chips.
"It can be seen that you like this woman Gu Jia very much."
“I appreciate it.”
Mrs. Wang smiled with a hint of smugness, "You still say one thing and mean another in front of me. I may not be good at other things, but I do have some experience in judging people. You just helped Gu Jia with her child. Obviously, you know our mutual intentions. I don't think there are too many things that can attract you. That's why you like her very much and are very interested in her."
Chen An slowly moved his hand upwards, with some appreciation in his tone, "What a smart woman! That's why you chose her as the middleman."
"It can be seen that she attaches great importance to family, and my identity can help you very well..."
Chen An's hand paused, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect that this young aunt's outfit today was so unrestrained, as if she had made some preparations.
Chen An knew too well the emptiness of women like Mrs. Wang. The biggest difference between them and those capable and wealthy women was that the wealth of those women came from their background and abilities.
Everything they have comes from the title of Mrs., so those rich women can spend their time as they please, find male models to go in and out of high-end clubs, and enjoy life to the fullest, while they can only look glamorous on the surface, but in fact they have their own sufferings.
Chen An couldn't help but think of a classic scene in the original drama. After Gu Jia was tricked, she found the place where these ladies were gathering and directly mocked them, "Windbreaker and wide-leg pants, I am Gu Jia, remember that."
Now that Mrs. Wang's trump card has been revealed, she is destined to lose the initiative and be controlled by herself.
"As you said, Gu Jia attaches great importance to family. How long will it take for you to help me achieve my wish?" Chen An moved his fingers slightly, his tone full of confidence and mockery, "Or do you think that I can't achieve my goal by myself?"
Mrs. Wang subconsciously grabbed Chen An's wrists with both hands, her body tensed up involuntarily, feeling the masculine scent coming towards her. She couldn't remember how many years it had been since she had felt it. This feeling made her obsessed, intoxicated and eager.
She was in love, like dry firewood, and urgently needed Chen An's fire. However, she found helplessly that she didn't seem to have the chips to impress him, so she could only lower her attitude, "I have been in the Magic City for so many years, and I have a lot of connections. If you need any help, I will do my best."
Chen An gently tapped Mrs. Wang's lips with his hand, picked up the chopsticks with his other hand, and threw them on the ground, saying teasingly, "For now, apart from helping me pick up the chopsticks, it seems that there is nothing that little aunt can do to help me."
Mrs. Wang understood what Chen An meant immediately. As expected, such young and successful men are naturally arrogant and domineering. She gave Chen An a charming look, took off her high heels, and crawled under the table to help pick up the chopsticks.
But soon there was a cry of surprise, the sound was full of fear, joy and anticipation...
