Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1204: The Girls Arrive

Chen Pi forcibly snapped his almost-dropping jaw back in place, coughed, and said, "Uh... it’s fine, it’s fine..."

Chen Pi hurriedly waved his hand, lowered his head, and didn’t dare say another word.

He didn’t know why...

He just felt there was something very special about Gu Tong’s aura; beneath her composure there was a faintly terrifying, murderous edge, like some vicious, heinous criminal suppressing their own presence.

Chen Pi might be greedy for money, but he wasn’t a fool; he naturally understood that he couldn’t afford to mess with either of these girls...

They could easily pull out money to stay for a few days, and just as easily buy his life.

Sure enough...

No matter what era it is, human life is a cheap thing.

’Creeeak—’

The rear door was opened.

Xia Xi hopped lightly out of the car. She was very satisfied with her makeup and said, "Chen Pi-ge, what do you think of my getup, does it look real~"

She’d done this makeup many times already and was very practiced at it; especially the dullness on her face, all meticulously painted on bit by bit.

Chen Pi was shocked yet again and said, "It looks exactly like the real thing..."

These city girls were simply something else; their makeup skills were uncanny. Just a few casual strokes and everything was perfectly handled—they were like two textbook rural chicks, and no one would be able to spot a flaw.

But still...

Chen Pi really couldn’t understand it.

Other girls all liked to look bright and pretty; only these two insisted on painting themselves uglier, and the country-red flush and freckles on their faces were done so vividly that one glance told you this wasn’t their first time dressing up like this.

Gu Tong also pulled the car door open in turn and stood to the side, saying evenly, "Can we go into the village now?"

"Yes, yes..." Chen Pi hurriedly said, "I brought the tricycle over. In a bit, you two girls just sit in the back. We’ll talk about the details once we get home."

Chen Pi’s tricycle was specially used for picking people up. The back had its own little canopy, and he’d even prepared small stools and such.

From the outside, at a quick glance, you couldn’t tell if anyone was sitting inside; it was quite handy.

Xia Xi had taken this kind of vehicle a few times before; apart from being bumpy, it didn’t leave much of an impression.

"Okay!" Given the circumstances, Gu Tong wasn’t picky; having a means of transport was already pretty good.

...

The tricycle rattled along for a while—about twenty minutes or so—before arriving at Chen Pi’s house.

Chen Pi’s wife also knew there would be guests today, so she had prepared a spread of good food early on and was waiting.

Chen Pi parked the tricycle, his face full of uncontained joy, and said, "Come, come, get out of the cart, make yourselves at home here, yeah."

He carried himself entirely like relatives coming over for a visit, especially warm and hospitable.

Gu Tong and Xia Xi didn’t say much and simply got out of the cart.

Chen Pi’s house wasn’t very big, but it was still one of the better ones in the village. There were three tiled rooms, and one of them could be given to Gu Tong and Xia Xi to stay in, which was fairly convenient.

Chen Pi’s wife, Liu Yu, ran out. Smiling, she said, "Sisters, you’re here, come on, come inside."

Liu Yu was a smart woman; she didn’t nag or pry just because one girl had turned into two. Instead she went along with it, as if everything were perfectly normal.

"Yes, yes, please, please, come in."

Chen Pi urged them to go inside, and at the same time parked the tricycle properly, acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

Xia Xi had at least been here a few times before and was very familiar with the surroundings. She didn’t say much and led Gu Tong into the room.
