Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Golden Tycoon (9)
“Are you sure you didn’t encounter a ghost?”
“…”
“Is that your reason for being late?”
“…”
Jin Chen closed his mouth; he decided it was better not to speak.
Otherwise, his own brother would end up being the death of him.
...
“Brother, are you really going to attend?”
The man didn’t respond, just lowered his head to put on his watch. The hands of the watch weren’t moving, frozen at 2:30 am.
Jin Chen slightly furrowed his brow upon seeing this, wanting to say something but afraid of misspeaking, he felt stifled.
The man grabbed his coat, casually draped it over his shoulders, and propped himself with the sofa to sit in his wheelchair.
Jin Chen watched without any intention of helping.
Once seated, the man said calmly, “What happened to the family education you received from the Jin family?”
“Brother, they obviously don’t have good intentions, why bother…”
The man’s voice was flat, like an immortal unconcerned with worldly affairs, “Don’t take such trifles to heart.”
Jin Chen: “…”
This isn’t an immortal, this is a devil!
Jin Chen pushed the wheelchair out, pressed the elevator button — 12th floor.
A slight excitement stirred in Jin Chen’s heart, maybe he would get to see his Little Fairy!
The elevator contained only the two of them, the air very quiet.
“Feeling lovesick?”
The man didn’t even turn his head, as if he already knew what Jin Chen was like.
Jin Chen rolled his eyes: “Is it abnormal for someone my age to be lovesick?”
“Normal,” the man nodded.
Just as Jin Chen was wondering what was wrong with his brother, he heard him say, “When you get back, have Auntie make you some kidney tonics, don’t disgrace the Jin family.”
Jin Chen: “???”
Fuck!
Ding——
The elevator door promptly opened, stopping the fratricidal tragedy that was about to unfold within.
Jin Chen, angry, pushed the man out of the elevator. Standing in the hallway were the welcoming girls who, upon seeing them exit, were first startled by the man’s appearance.
After a moment, they recovered and, with polite smiles, came forward to lead them inside.
Once the two were out of sight, the welcoming girls began to get excited.
“So handsome!”
“Who is that, and why is he so handsome.”

“It’s just a shame he’s disabled…”
“But he’s really very handsome, I’m envious even though I’m a woman!!”
“The young man pushing his wheelchair is also good-looking!!”
–
The banquet hall was a flutter of gorgeous dresses and clinking glasses.
The pleasant sound of music masked the conversations in the room. Chuzheng, following the flow of people, walked in. A beautiful girl always attracts attention.
Yet most people were merely observing Chuzheng.
Undoubtedly, she was beautiful.
To the male species, she stood out through their visual filters, but no one dared to approach her.
Why didn’t they dare?
None of them could quite explain.
The girl stood there cool and detached, as if she was surrounded by a ‘do-not-disturb’ aura that kept people from approaching her.
Chuzheng held a glass of champagne, her gaze casually sweeping across the room.
She quickly located her target for the mission.
The President of Hongguang Real Estate — Gao Desheng.
“Miss, I think we have enough money, you don’t need to do this kind of task.”
Chuzheng took a sip of champagne: “If I don’t do the task, I’ll be the one who’s done away with. The place I stay isn’t an orphanage.”
[…]Pah! I bet you’re dying for it!
Her identity and profession dictated her actions.
King’s Account didn’t say anything more, just silently issued a task.
[Main Quest: Spend a million within one hour.]
Chuzheng: “…”
Time was pressing!
Chuzheng set down her champagne and walked into the crowd.
Gao Desheng was chatting with someone, seemingly enjoying the conversation. Just then, a beauty next to him suddenly stumbled, splashing the wine in her hand onto Gao Desheng.
“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.”
The beauty immediately apologized.
Gao Desheng frowned, giving the beauty a glance, looking somewhat impatient: “What’s going on with you…”
“I’m sorry,” the beauty said, tears brimming in her eyes, looking too pitiful to anger anyone.
But Gao Desheng wasn’t any less angry!
He was very upset: “Did you do that on purpose?”
“No, no, I didn’t know what I stepped on, I just slipped suddenly, I’m sorry,” the beauty explained hastily.
“President Gao, why bother with a young girl, you better go to the restroom to tidy up,” someone spoke up for the beauty.
Gao Desheng, out of respect for the speaker, didn’t trouble the beauty further and walked away with an unhappy face.
Murmurs from the crowd hinting that Gao Desheng was not fond of women and adored his wife were vaguely heard, making many envious.
Chuzheng stood indifferently on the outskirts of the crowd.
Seizing the moment when no one was paying attention, she followed in the direction Gao Desheng had left.
–
Chuzheng calmly and rationally cleaned up any evidence that she had been there, and in the end, even checked her reflection in the mirror.
She looked great.
Bastard, the surveillance is your headache now.
[…]King’s Account was frantic: [Miss, you’re not focusing on squandering money, and now you want me to collude with you!!]
Let’s not put it that way, if you don’t help me, how can I spend it all within the set time? Look, it’s nearly too late, I’ll have to figure out the surveillance myself…
[Fine!]King’s Account interrupted her.
Chuzheng took out her phone.
[Mission accomplished, wrapping up.]
Yes, wrapping up was also someone else’s responsibility.
They were organized and disciplined social beings.
Chuzheng stepped out of the restroom with calm and poise, as outside the door, a sign was hanging; after she departed, someone dressed as a cleaner approached and removed the sign.
In the surveillance room.
A security guard, yawning, aimlessly watched the screens, occasionally looking down at his phone, completely unaware that there had been a brief flicker on the surveillance footage.
Chuzheng was in a hurry and decided not to go back to the banquet hall but to leave through the emergency exit instead.
Just as she walked towards the emergency passage, she overheard voices coming from inside.
The door of the emergency passageway was ajar, and from where Chuzheng was standing, she could see the man sitting in a wheelchair inside.
He was looking down, and the dim light made it difficult to see his face.
“Mr. Jin, I’m truly sorry, but in your current condition, I can’t possibly stay engaged to you; I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with a cripple.”
The woman standing opposite the man was radiant and homey; she had her arms crossed and looked at the man with obvious disdain.
The man, sitting in the wheelchair, didn’t seem diminished in presence due to his disability; instead, he exuded an air of indolent nobility.
His tone was calm and detached, “It’s just idle gossip between our families, no need to take it to heart, and you didn’t have to tell me specifically.”
He paused slightly, barely lifting his head, revealing a face that could captivate any soul.
Though his face was expressionless, it didn’t appear cold, but rather carried a touch of haughty laziness.
His dark eyes, like jewels dipped in ink, were purely and naturally black.
The man spoke with thin lips barely parted, each word distinct: “After all, you and I have no relationship whatsoever.”
The woman with the expertly applied makeup changed color at his words.
Her engagement to him had been arranged by their elders. A long time ago, she had looked forward to it, but this man… now he was calling it idle gossip between their families.
It was she who had caused embarrassment for him today, so how come it now seemed as if she was eagerly stepping forward…
