Chapitre 27: New Friend
Éditeur: Henyee Translations
"I understand, Mom," Sheng Jiu agreed obediently. Cheng Xinkai was indeed not someone to befriend. He was a very evil man.
"But it's good for you to know more people. You need to know good people and bad people to distinguish between good and bad." Madam Sheng didn't mind that Sheng Jiu knew more people. Only by meeting more people could she better distinguish between good and bad people. Anyway, no matter if Sheng Jiu met a good person or a bad person, the Sheng family could protect her. This Cheng Xinkai was obviously not a good person. As long as he did anything bad to Sheng Jiu, Madam Sheng would make him disappear from the capital.
"Mom is right." Sheng Jiu nodded. Without interacting with scum, how could she know how bad a person could be?
"President Cheng." Sheng Jiu walked over and greeted Cheng Xinkai expressionlessly, but her gaze seemed to pierce through Cheng Xinkai.
"Young Master Sheng, did you ask me to come here?" Cheng Xinkai looked at Sheng Jiu. He did not know if he was thinking too much, but he felt that the young master of the Sheng family was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze. After knowing that his car had been smashed by Sheng Jiu, Cheng Xinkai had asked someone to investigate Sheng Jiu. There was no grudge between them, and they did not even have any interaction. He did not know why Sheng Jiu wanted to smash his car. Later, when he found out that Sheng Jiu was an abnormal fool, Cheng Xinkai felt that Sheng Jiu had acted up and smashed his car.
However, this gave Cheng Xinkai an opportunity to get close to the Sheng family. After all, the Sheng family was a top-notch wealthy family in Beijing. Many people wanted to curry favor with them but could not find the opportunity. This time, he only had to sacrifice a car to get this opportunity. Cheng Xinkai felt that it was worth it.
"I'm the one who broke your car. I'll compensate you according to the price." Sheng Jiu's eyes were calm, and her tone was cold.
"Since Young Master Sheng didn't smash it on purpose, there's no need to compensate me. Just treat this car as my gift to become friends with Young Master. I wonder if I have the honor?" Cheng Xinkai had specially come to look for Sheng Jiu. Of course, he didn't want Sheng Jiu to compensate him for the car. He just wanted to use this opportunity to make friends with Sheng Jiu. It didn't matter if Sheng Jiu was a fool. Cheng Xinkai only cared about her status. In his mind, there was more than just marriage. He also wanted to make friends. Cheng Xinkai had even thought that since the few young ladies of the Sheng family were unmarried, he could get to know the other young ladies of the Sheng family through Sheng Jiu. Then, he would use his charm to conquer them and marry the daughter of the Sheng family. Wouldn't that make him a first-rate wealthy family? As for the young ladies of the Bai family, how could they compare to the Sheng family?
"I was the one who broke the car. Of course, I have to compensate. If President Cheng doesn't want the car to be compensated, you can make other requests." When Sheng Jiu saw Cheng Xinkai's scheming face, she knew what he was up to. She must have been blind to fall for such a scheming man who used women to silence people for his own benefit.
"Young Master Sheng, if you're willing, why don't you treat me to a meal? We'll be friends from now on." Cheng Xinkai took the opportunity to make a request. Since Sheng Jiu was a fool, she must be easy to coax and deceive.
"Alright, then President Cheng and I will be friends from now on." Sheng Jiu smiled faintly and agreed to Cheng Xinkai's request. Sheng Jiu was not surprised by Cheng Xinkai's request at all. Based on her understanding of Cheng Xinkai, he would try to gain the most at the lowest cost. A car in exchange for a chance to befriend Sheng Jiu and build a relationship with the Sheng family was very cost-effective. Cheng Xinkai's purpose in coming to the Sheng family was not really to ask for compensation, but to ask Sheng Jiu to owe him a favor. He would start as an ordinary friend first, then get some benefits from Sheng Jiu. It would be best if he had a chance to get in touch with the young ladies of the Sheng family and capture their hearts so that he could become their son-in-law.
"Young Master Sheng, it's my honor to be friends with you. If you need me in the future, just let me know." Cheng Xinkai was not too surprised that Sheng Jiu agreed to be friends with him so easily. Sheng Jiu had been in the Buddhist temple for 18 years and had been a monk for 18 years. She was not very smart and did not have many friends around her. Naturally, she agreed to his request easily.
"It's your first time here, isn't it, President Cheng? I'll show you around." It was surprising that Sheng Jiu would take the initiative to invite Cheng Xinkai to visit the Sheng family. Even Madam Sheng was very surprised. When Shen Xiuwen came previously, he asked Sheng Jiu to show him around, but Sheng Jiu was very unwilling. Could it be that Sheng Jiu liked Cheng Xinkai, her new friend?
