Chapter 15: Goddess

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A few minutes after Bai Chuxiao left, an energetic figure rushed into the classroom.

The person who had arrived was around twenty years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with exquisite facial features, and a good-looking appearance. He was wearing white sports clothes that looked clean and bright, scanning the classroom with a face full of excitement. But when he didn’t find the person he wanted to see, his expression immediately became dejected.

When the girls saw him, their eyes lit up.

They immediately went up to ingratiate themselves. “Young master Zhong, who are you looking for?”

A Qi family’s mother was the aunt of Zhong Yi’s mother, and it was she who had raised him. His mother’s surname was Zhong, and he did not have any blood relations with the young master of the Qi family. However, mother Qi loved him dearly and treated him like her own flesh and blood son. 

A wife from the Qi family!

The Qi family was the head of the five big families. Who didn’t want to suck up to them?

Unable to see his goddess, Zhong Yi wasn’t in a particularly good mood now. “Bai Meijie, come over at once. I have business with you.”

Bai Meijie was surprised to get called out. She never had any friendly relations with Zhong Yi, so how come he suddenly called for her today?

“Wow, young master Zhong came to find Meijie. What’s going on? Don’t tell me they are secretly together?”

“I think it might be possible. This is young master Zhong’s first time asking for a girl. I’m envious!”

These words went into Bai Meijie’s ears, feeding her vanity. After all, it was the Qi family behind Zhong Yi!

Bai Meijie got up and took elegant strides out of the classroom under everyone’s gaze.

She flicked her hair and smiled gently. “What’s up, young master Zhong?”

“I heard goddess Chuluo has recovered. Is this true?” Zhong Yi was straightforward and got right to the point.

Bai Meijie’s smile froze, and her eyes flashed with disbelief.

Goddess… Chuluo?!

Bai Chuluo had been a brilliant, shining light during her prime, and she was indeed the perfect goddess in the hearts of men.

After that incident occurred, those men who kept calling her goddess had become practical, turning firm and decisive when the wind changed, and stopped being her fan. 

In a fraction of a second, all sorts of complex feelings flashed in Bai Meijie’s eyes. Eventually, she managed to keep an awkward and polite smile. “Sister Chuluo has recovered quite a bit, but her condition might recur at any time. So young master Zhong…”

Bai Meijie was still only halfway through her recount, and Zhong Yi had already laughed twice. “Great!”

Then, before she could react, he quickly left.

After he left, the other people came up and surrounded her. “Meijie, since when did you become so close to young master Zhong?”

“Yeah, young master Zhong laughed so happily earlier. Are you guys together?”

Bai Meijie kept on smiling. “We’re just friends, don’t think too much.”

She must absolutely not let them know that Zhong Yi had come for Bai Chuluo. Otherwise, she would lose face big time.

People didn’t believe Bai Meijie’s obscure explanation. Therefore, the scandal between Zhong Yi and Bai Meijie soon spread rapidly…

…

At night.

The TV was on in the living room, and the news was on.

“Recently, the collaboration between the Bai Corporation and the Sky Corporation is about to commence. As everyone knows, Sky Corporation doesn’t usually collaborate with others, but this time the Bai family had successfully signed a contract with them. This time, the Bai family might become the corporation to rank right behind the five big families…”

Bai Chuxiao sat on the couch and ordered take-away food from her mobile phone.

Her eyes sunk a little watching the news report.

Sky Corporation was recently rising as an international corporation. They were mainly focused on the entertainment business, but their scope was considerably wide.

They did not usually partner up.

Who would have known that the signed contract was the result of her elder sister’s long, hard work?
