Chapter 53: A B*tch and a Dog, Together Forever

11 AM.

Taihe Real Estate Sales Office.

Xu Shaochen sat in the car, listening to music while waiting for Liu Rushuang to get off work.

A moment later, Liu Rushuang came out of the building, bag slung over her shoulder.

“Start the car already, it’s boiling in here! This terrible job has low pay and tons of work.”

As soon as Liu Rushuang got into the passenger seat, she started complaining.

“How about I get you a different position?” Xu Shaochen offered, looking at Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang rolled her eyes. “Please, stop bragging. Get driving already. Who do you think you are, my boss? You think you can just get me a new position?”

Xu Shaochen chuckled silently and started the car, asking, “Which way?”

“Go straight, take the first left, then drive straight for about ten more minutes,” Liu Rushuang said, fanning herself with one hand while checking the address on her phone.

Xu Shaochen’s gaze roved over her curvy figure, and he thoughtfully suggested, “Rushuang, if you’re feeling hot, why don’t you take off some clothes? It’ll be cooler.”

“Should I take my skirt off too? Wouldn’t that be cooler?” Liu Rushuang replied with a sarcastic smile.

Xu Shaochen nodded seriously. “Theoretically, yes.”

“Get lost, you! Just focus on driving. What’s going on in that head of yours every day?” Liu Rushuang grumbled, giving him a sidelong glance, though she did unbutton two buttons on her collar.

Gulp~

Xu Shaochen’s eyes flickered over her, and he felt a surge in his throat. Damn, why do I feel a bit dizzy, milky? …

Over ten minutes later, they reached their destination, a western restaurant.

“Rushuang, over here.”

As soon as they walked into the restaurant, a well-dressed young man, seated by the window, stood up and waved to them.

The young man looked only a couple of years older than Liu Rushuang, donning a silver suit that made him look very refined and cultured.

No wonder Liu Rushuang almost fell for him back then. He really does look good.

With his thoughts swirling, Xu Shaochen walked over with Liu Rushuang and sat across from the young man.

“Rushuang, long time no see. Let me introduce my fiancée, Zhang Lin.”

After they sat down, Zhang Tao also took a seat and pointed to the woman beside him.

“Hello! I’ve heard Zhang Tao mention you. You’re very beautiful in person. I’m really grateful you didn’t end up with him, or else I wouldn’t have met such an outstanding person as him.” Zhang Lin smiled slightly at Liu Rushuang, but her words were full of a sense of superiority.

For some reason, Xu Shaochen felt that this woman looked familiar as if he’d seen her somewhere before.

Only after a while did he recall. Isn’t she the same top-notch woman Mei Liangxin had on his phone—a one-nighter for 1,200 yuan?

Thinking of this, Xu Shaochen suddenly looked at Zhang Tao with sympathy in his eyes. It was as if he could see a large green hat atop Zhang Tao’s head.

He really wondered, what would Zhang Tao’s reaction be if he knew that for 1,200 yuan, anyone could have a night with his fiancée?

Noticing Xu Shaochen staring at his fiancée, Zhang Tao’s eyes flashed with displeasure. He turned to Liu Rushuang and said, “Rushuang, I didn’t expect you would like someone younger. I totally missed that about you back then.”

“What’s it to you?” Liu Rushuang retorted unceremoniously.

Xu Shaochen inwardly cheered her on, ‘Nice one!’

Zhang Tao’s face stiffened, but he quickly recovered with a nonchalant smile, saying, “Rushuang, what does your boyfriend do? I own a company now, and Lin works as a senior manager in a foreign enterprise. Maybe we could work together sometime.”

“Oh, don’t listen to him. I’m not really a senior manager, just a low-level manager. I only make 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month.” Zhang Lin said modestly, but the pride on her face was unmistakable.

Xu Shaochen wanted to laugh. He looked at Zhang Lin meaningfully and said, “Lin, you work in a foreign company, so you must be entertaining foreign clients often at night, right?”

“Sigh, somewhat. There are often dinners at night that I can’t avoid.” Zhang Lin replied with a look of faux distress.

Zhang Tao sipped his wine and smiled lightly. “Yeah, that’s true. Lin often doesn’t come home at night. I told her to quit, but she refuses. It’s really frustrating!”

Watching Zhang Tao’s pretentious demeanor, Xu Shaochen nearly burst out laughing. Do you even know where your fiancée goes when she doesn’t come home at night? It’s 1,200 yuan for just one night! Moreover, Xu Shaochen noticed that Zhang Tao’s clothes were fake because he had just visited the flagship store the other day. This outfit was unique in all of Jiangzhou.

And currently, that outfit was hanging in his closet.

So, clearly, the one Zhang Tao was wearing was fake.

And as a knowledgeable prodigy, Xu Shaochen instantly recognized that Zhang Tao’s watch was also a knockoff.

So it’s obvious that this guy’s claim about running a company is just hot air. For all we know, he might be selling insurance.

This is getting interesting.

A broke guy claiming to be a CEO and a hooker posing as a foreign enterprise manager.

What’s even more interesting is that these two are about to get married.

And judging by their expressions, they seem totally unaware of each other’s true circumstances.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, I guess it’s true what they say, a b**** and a dog, together forever!

“Shaochen is still a student,” Liu Rushuang answered Zhang Tao’s question calmly.

Hearing this, Zhang Tao looked at Xu Shaochen with disdain in his eyes, and scoffed, “Rushuang, even if you couldn’t find someone as outstanding as me, you shouldn’t have lowered your standards to the point of picking just any random guy to settle with.”

“Haha, that’s true. I can’t possibly compare to someone as exceptional as you, Brother Zhang. That watch on your wrist must be expensive.” Xu Shaochen cut off Liu Rushuang before she could get angry, smiling amiably at Zhang Tao as he spoke.

Liu Rushuang was puzzled. Since when did this guy become so humble? What is he planning?

Hearing this, Zhang Tao puffed out his chest, proudly showing off the gold watch on his wrist, and bragged, “It’s not that expensive, just a limited edition Rolex, worth a little over three hundred thousand yuan. It’s nothing special. I’m planning to buy a new one that starts at a million yuan in a few days. Do you have any recommendations?”

Before Xu Shaochen could respond, Zhang Tao feigned a sudden realization and said, “Oh dear, what was I thinking? Why did I even ask you? You’re just a poor student, how could you know anything about luxury watches? I’m putting you on the spot here, my bad, my bad.”

“Honey, how could you say that? The internet is so advanced nowadays. Even if he’s poor, he might have looked up that kind of information online. After all, poor people have dreams too, right?” Zhang Lin leaned into Zhang Tao’s embrace, giving Xu Shaochen a disdainful glance as she spoke in a mockingly sarcastic tone.

Liu Rushuang was so angry she could barely contain her rage. These two jerks made her sick, and she shot Xu Shaochen an apologetic look.

If she hadn’t asked him to accompany her here, they wouldn’t be stuck in this situation.

Xu Shaochen, however, remained calm. I’ll let them keep up this act for now. Just wait until I start slapping them in the face.
