At this moment Zhang Xiaoman reminded him. “Luo Chen someone is shaking hands with you.”
But Luo Chen remained completely unmoved.
Chen Chao withdrew his hand. A surge of anger rose in his heart. In Tongzhou he still had some face. The circle around him consisted of rich second generations. With his background this was the first time someone dared to disrespect him. And it was a country bumpkin from the countryside. This made Chen Chao decide that he must find an opportunity to teach Luo Chen a proper lesson. Yet Chen Chao smiled and said. “Brother are you planning to develop in Tongzhou from now on?”
“Hehe I am Xiaomans friend. If brother is in Tongzhou in the future we can all hang out together. In this area of Tongzhou I can still say a few words.”
Chen Chao said with a smile. But inside he sneered. You dared to make me lose face. As long as you stay in Tongzhou I will play you to death later.
“Good.” Luo Chen gave a slight smile. Inside he was also sneering.
“By the way Xiaoman you said your classmate is looking for a job. Why not arrange for him to join the company where I am a named director. What do you think?”
Chen Chao saw that Luo Chen showed no sign of fear. He suddenly got an idea.
He himself was a teacher at an aristocratic school. But outside he had invested in a company.
Chen Chao clearly knew Luo Chens background. Yet he deliberately mentioned the company in front of everyone. Obviously he wanted to show off and step on Luo Chens face.
But before Zhang Xiaoman could speak Zhang Xiaomans mother spoke up.
“Little Chen is really capable. So young and he already has a company. Plus he is a civil servant himself. Luo Chen you should learn more from him.”
When Chen Chao heard this he showed a smug expression. Then he looked at Luo Chen provocatively. The meaning was clear. What the hell do you have to compete with me?
“Come the food is here.”
“Little Chen try aunties cooking and see if it is good.”
Zhang Xiaomans mother brought out two dishes.
Chen Chao seemed to come here often. He was not restrained at all. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. It looked like he was already very familiar. He probably came to Zhang Xiaomans house frequently.
But Chen Chao did not notice the fleeting cold smile that flashed in Luo Chens eyes.
After Chen Chao had eaten just a few bites Luo Chen stood up put down his chopsticks and walked out the door. He took out a pack of cigarettes he carried with him pulled one out and lit it.
Seeing Luo Chen leave Chen Chao felt even more smug inside. He thought Luo Chen had left because he could not bear the humiliation.
At this time Zhang Xiaoman also followed Luo Chen outside.
“Luo Chen do not misunderstand. I only have an ordinary relationship with him. You have to believe me.”
Zhang Xiaomans expression was a bit flustered. Clearly she was afraid Luo Chen might see something.
“Mm.” Luo Chen nodded. But inside he sneered. Hmph ordinary friend relationship?
Do you think I am blind?
When Zhang Xiaoman heard Luo Chens response she felt a bit uncomfortable inside. After all not rejecting Chen Chao was the same as tacitly accepting his pursuit. Yet she already had a boyfriend.
But Chen Chao was indeed very outstanding. In every aspect he was far beyond what Luo Chen could compare to.
Chen Chaos father was a vice mayor. While Luo Chens father was just an ordinary person. Chen Chao was already a shareholder in a big company. And Luo Chen?
However Zhang Xiaoman knew very well that Luo Chen was the one who truly treated her with sincerity. But in this day and age how much was sincerity worth?
Chen Chaos lifestyle was something Luo Chen could probably never touch in his entire life. And what Chen Chao could give her was also something Luo Chen could never provide in his lifetime.
Zhang Xiaoman sighed. But this time Luo Chen gave her a different feeling. Yet she could not quite pinpoint what was different.
“A few days ago were you not travelling at Mount Tai? This morning I saw the news that it got struck by lightning there.”
Zhang Xiaoman tried to change the subject.
“Never heard of it.” Luo Chen did not answer directly. Instead a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was waiting for the good show.
Just then from inside the house came a loud poot sound. Then another poot. After that poot poot poot kept sounding nonstop.
Zhang Xiaoman turned back in confusion then walked inside. But as soon as she entered she instantly retreated. Her face turned purple. She covered her nose and mouth. Tears streamed from her eyes.
Soon Zhang Xiaomans father and mother also fled out in a sorry state.
It was too smelly. The stench was overwhelming.
A foul odour came from the house. And the poot poot sounds continued.
If anyone went in now they would see Chen Chao covered in stench. The whole room was almost suffocating.
Chen Chao was stunned. Tears flowed because it was too smelly.
Finally Chen Chao could not bear it anymore. He had to run outside. Because he was farting nonstop now. And each one was incredibly foul.
The entire house was filled with the stench. And inexplicably he could not stop farting at all.
Most importantly this was the home of the girl he was pursuing. And in front of her parents. Farting once or twice might be overlooked. But nonstop farting that filled the whole room with stench was going too far.
Especially for someone as particular as Chen Chao. This kind of embarrassing and humiliating behaviour made him wish he could find a hole to crawl into right now.
He felt that the clean neat and noble image he had worked so hard to build in front of Zhang Xiaoman and her family was completely destroyed.
As soon as Chen Chao came out he saw Zhang Xiaomans family vomiting wildly on the side. Because they had just been eating. Chen Chaos nonstop farting had directly made them sick enough to throw up.
Luo Chen however had prepared in advance. He had already moved far away from Chen Chao and stood at a distance.
“I say friend are you planning to stink up the entire neighbourhood?”
Luo Chen teased.
“You!”
Chen Chao wanted to retort. But the poot poot sounds continued. The stench kept coming. Even Zhang Xiaomans mother now looked at Chen Chao with a strange expression.
Although apart from Luo Chen no one else said anything to him. Seeing the disgusted looks from Zhang Xiaoman and her family made Chen Chao feel even more humiliated and awkward inside.
Even with his thick skin Chen Chao felt utterly embarrassed. His thick face felt burning hot. The urge to escape from here grew strong.
At this moment Luo Chen lightly flicked the cigarette in his hand with his fingers. No one noticed. The cigarette shot towards Chen Chaos Cayenne like a bullet.
Immediately after bang. One tyre of the Cayenne exploded.
This bang startled everyone.
Chen Chao who already felt humiliated and wanted to drive away immediately. But just as he was about to step forward the tyre exploded. He cursed inwardly. How could today be so unlucky?
And it seemed heaven was deliberately messing with him today.
“Watch out!”
Just as Chen Chao was dazed a cry of alarm rang out.
It turned out a flowerpot from the third floor window sill which had been placed right at the edge somehow fell straight down.
And by sheer coincidence it smashed right onto Chen Chaos head.
Splash.
Blood flowed everywhere. Chen Chaos head was smashed open like blooming peach blossoms.
By the time the ambulance arrived Chen Chao had already fainted. And throughout it all Luo Chen remained very calm.
Walking back into Zhang Xiaomans house Luo Chen gently waved his hand. Instantly the foul stench disappeared. This was naturally Luo Chens doing.
In his previous life he had been played to death by Chen Chao. But in this life he had a hundred ways to get revenge.
By now the sky had already turned dark.
Luo Chen took out two aluminium foil bags. Inside were some mountain tea. This was what Luo Chens father had asked him to bring for Zhang Xiaomans father.
Zhang Xiaomans mother glanced at the tea with disdain then sneered.
“This is the gift you brought for your first visit to our house. Truly generous.”
