Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 112 Magnificent Fireworks, I Like You (Part 1)
After having lunch at home, Chen Yan quickly tidied up and drove to Shanghai.

He Juan and Chen Guodong then began a thorough cleaning, since their future daughter-in-law was coming tomorrow, and they needed to make sure the house was spotless to leave a good impression.

Chen Yan set off at 1 p.m. During the Spring Festival, the highway was not only free, but there was also very little traffic. He arrived at Jiang Zhixin's apartment building at around 3:30 p.m.

Upon arrival, he sent Jiang Zhixin a WeChat message saying "I've arrived downstairs."

Because her apartment complex is a high-end residential area, you need to swipe a card or use facial recognition to enter the first-floor entrance, so Chen Yan couldn't go up there by himself.

Jiang Zhixin replied instantly: "I'll be right down, wait for me a moment."

Chen Yan had been driving for more than two hours and was feeling a bit sore in his back, so he thought he would get out of the car to stretch his muscles and joints, as it was quite uncomfortable to stay cooped up in the car all the time.

However, after he got out of the car, he discovered that a brand-new Audi A8 was parked downstairs at Jiang Zhixin's house. The license plate wasn't even on yet, so it was obviously a car that had just been bought before the Chinese New Year.

The A8 truly lives up to its reputation as a D-segment executive sedan. Its smooth lines flow seamlessly from the front to the rear, while its signature large grille, with its exaggerated size and chrome trim that gleams coldly in the sunlight, resembles the bared fangs of a giant beast, exuding majesty.

When Jiang Zhixin came downstairs, she found Chen Yan looking the A8 up and down. "What, you like this car?"

Upon hearing this clear and melodious voice, Chen Yan realized that Jiang Zhixin was already standing behind him. He turned around and looked at Teacher Jiang, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month.

I noticed she was wearing a thick loungewear set, with the fluffy collar casually piled up, her hair loosely pinned up, and a few wisps of hair playfully falling on either side of her face, exuding a touch of laziness and warmth.

Her delicate oval face was flushed with a healthy blush, as if it had been gently kissed by the warm winter sun.

but.

Chen Yan keenly noticed that her cheeks seemed to have become slightly rounder, her originally slender jawline had become softer, and when she smiled, faint apple cheeks appeared on her face.

It seems Teacher Jiang ate very well during the Chinese New Year holiday; she's gained weight. I wonder if that part of her body has gotten bigger.

"No, I wouldn't say I like it, I'm just looking at it," Chen Yan replied, shrugging.

"Oh, this car belongs to my dad's classmate. They came to my house to wish us a Happy New Year today."

Chen Yan chuckled: "They haven't even put up license plates yet. Are they just here to show off?"

"more or less."

Jiang Zhixin sighed, "Sigh, and his silly son is here too."

"What silly son?"

As Chen Yan spoke, he took out a case of Moutai liquor and two cartons of Yellow Crane Tower 1916 from the trunk.

"Emmmm"

Jiang Zhixin tilted her snow-white chin up and thought for a moment before saying, "That guy is such a show-off. At least his dad shows off subtly, but he shows off openly."

"Didn't he just come back from studying abroad? He keeps saying that the moon is rounder abroad than in China."

He got stuck in traffic on the way here and said that traffic in China is terrible and public transportation is not convenient enough. As he spoke, he talked about his experience taking the subway abroad, saying that "the subways abroad are clean and punctual, and the staff are friendly, unlike in China."

Jiang Zhixin got more and more excited as she talked, "And when my dad and his classmates talked about technological development, he could also bring up foreign countries. He said that China's technological level is still not as good as that of foreign countries, that they are all working on cutting-edge technologies, while China is still working on some outdated things."

Do you think he's an idiot?

"well enough."

Chen Yan thought to himself that there were too many people who fawned over foreign things these days, as if foreign toilets smelled better than domestic ones.

In another decade or so, as cultural exchanges become more frequent and people are exposed to more diverse and abundant information, Chinese people will begin to view foreign cultures rationally and stop blindly pursuing and worshipping them.

"Let's go upstairs first."

Chen Yan placed the two Yellow Crane Tower liquors in Jiang Zhixin's hands, while he picked up the case of Moutai liquor.

"Dad, Mom, Chen Yan is here."

After Chen Yan followed Jiang Zhixin into her home, he found three people sitting on the sofa: two men and one woman. They must be the "foolish son" Jiang Zhixin had mentioned and his parents.

Jiang Zhihui saw the case of Moutai liquor in Chen Yan's hand and angrily scolded, "Why did you buy liquor? We can't even finish it all at home."

“I didn’t intend to buy it, but Xinxin made me. She said she would get angry if I didn’t buy it.”

Chen Yan directly shifted the blame to Jiang Zhixin.

"I didn't. I already told him not to buy it."

When Jiang Zhixin heard Chen Yan slander her, she pouted and kicked him.

Chen Yan didn't shy away and greeted them with a smile: "Happy New Year, Uncle and Auntie."

Wu Lian smiled and nodded, "Little Chen, next time you come, don't buy anything, just come in person."

"Okay, then I won't buy it next time."

Chen Yan agreed as he placed the wine in the living room.

After putting the wine away, he went back to the entrance hall to change into a pair of slippers, then slowly strolled into the living room and plopped down next to Jiang Zhixin. During this time, the two occasionally touched legs and arms, but neither of them paid any attention to it.

After all, the two of them were already... so what did this little bit of touching matter?

Jiang Zhihui introduced Chen Yan to his classmate, saying, "This is Chen Yan, my daughter's boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three guests sitting on the other side of the sofa visibly stiffened.

"Xiaoxin already has a boyfriend?"

The person who said this was Jiang Zhihui's classmate, Zhai Zhiqiang.

Jiang Zhihui nodded with a smile: "Yes, we've been talking about it for half a year."

Chen Yan was very polite. He immediately stood up, tore open a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, and began to offer cigarettes: "Hello, Uncle."

Zhai Zhiqiang politely accepted the cigarette: "Hello."

However, when Chen Yan offered a cigarette to Zhai Zhiqiang's son, he was refused: "I don't smoke, sorry."

Chen Yan didn't take it to heart, smiled and put away his cigarette, then sat back down next to Jiang Zhixin.

"Where is Xiao Chen working now?" Zhai Zhiqiang asked politely, lighting a cigarette.

"Oh, I'm still in college, and I'll graduate this June."

Upon hearing that Chen Yan was still in college, Zhai Zhiqiang's son, Zhai Qiwen, immediately became interested: "Really? Which school is he in, and what is he studying?"

"Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, Finance".

"Haha~"

Zhai Qiwen suddenly laughed, his tone laced with disdain: "Jiangnan University of Science and Technology? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Anyone below Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University has no place in finance'?"

"To succeed in the financial world, you either need a prestigious university background or have access to a wealth of resources; otherwise, you'll find it extremely difficult to get anywhere."

"May I ask if Brother Chen has any resources in the financial industry?"

"No."

Chen Yan speaks the truth.

"Forgive my bluntness, but Brother Chen, you should really think about your job prospects this year. The job market is very tough right now, unless you're like me and graduated from an Ivy League university abroad..."

Jiang Zhixin couldn't listen to it anymore, so she pulled Chen Yan and walked towards her bedroom.

Chen Yan was initially a little reluctant; he wanted to hear this idiot brag. However, Jiang Zhixin pinched his waist, and he immediately followed her obediently to the bedroom.

Zhai Qiwen was explaining the domestic financial environment when he saw Jiang Zhixin pulling Chen Yan away. His voice grew softer and softer until he finally stopped talking and silently picked up his water glass and took a sip.

But why does this tea get more and more bitter the more I drink it?
"Hohohoho~"

Jiang Zhihui smiled awkwardly, "My daughter is used to being willful at home, Qiwen, please don't mind her."

"It's alright, Uncle."

Zhai Qiwen's expression was rather unpleasant.

Are you kidding me, Jiang Zhixin? I graduated from a prestigious Ivy League university and received a million-dollar annual salary offer from Redhill Capital as soon as I returned to China, and you don't even give me a second glance!
Instead, he was flirting with a student from that second-rate school?
the other side.

As soon as Chen Yan entered Jiang Zhixin's bedroom, he couldn't wait to pull her into his arms.

"Teacher Jiang, you seem to have gained weight."

"Ah? Is there any?"

Jiang Zhixin was startled and quickly broke free from Chen Yan's embrace, went to the bathroom, and stood on the electronic scale.

"what!"

"Oh no, I've really gained 3 pounds."

"It's okay, it's okay, being a little chubby is good, I don't mind."

Chen Yan stepped forward, hugged Jiang Zhixin, and lifted her off the electronic scale.

"But I would dislike myself."

Jiang Zhixin pouted and said aggrievedly.

"Let me check if I've gained weight here."

Jiang Zhixin was still feeling down when Chen Yan's hand quietly slipped under her clothes.

However, the area is shrouded in a seal.

Helpless, Chen Yan could only reach behind his back to release the seal.

Since there were still guests in the living room, Jiang Zhixin didn't dare to make too much noise. She could only glare fiercely at Chen Yan and say, "There are still people outside!"

"It's okay, they don't know what we're doing in there."

Just as Chen Yan was about to make his next move,

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and Wu Lian's voice came from outside.

"Xinxin, your Uncle Zhai and his family have already passed away."

"Oh, here it comes."

Jiang Zhixin's voice trembled slightly.

Wu Lian was a little puzzled; something sounded off.

However, she didn't think much of it. After all, who would have imagined that in broad daylight, less than 10 minutes after the two entered the house, they would do something like this...

Jiang Zhixin adjusted her breathing and glared at Chen Yan with annoyance: "Help me fasten it."

"Oh, then turn around."

Chen Yan was speechless. He had already paid his respects, and now he was being interrupted. What would he do when he got out?
Are you suggesting I walk with my body hunched over?
"Humph."

Jiang Zhixin snorted coldly, then turned around. She even lifted her clothes up to make it easier for Chen Yan to fasten his bra.

Suddenly, a beautiful, snow-white back came into view. The lines of her back were smooth and graceful, winding down from her slender neck. Her shoulder blades were slightly raised, like two butterflies about to take flight, exuding a touch of liveliness and playfulness.

The shallow spinal groove in the center of the back, like a meticulously sculpted work of art, extends all the way to the hidden place covered by the trousers, sparking the imagination.

"Hurry up."

Jiang Zhixin urged, but her voice rose slightly at the end, unable to hide her coquettishness.

"Good good."

Chen Yan gave a perfunctory reply, then reached out and gently pinched the bra strap, casually twirling it around his fingertips.

The lingerie was pure black, with delicate lace edges outlining intricate patterns, like vines spreading in a mysterious garden, exuding a seductive charm.

"Have you seen enough?"

Jiang Zhixin blushed and glanced back at him.

Chen Yan wasn't embarrassed at all and shamelessly joked, "It's my own girlfriend, what's wrong with taking a few more glances?"

While he was making jokes, his hands were busy; his fingers moved among the black clasps, but he deliberately slowed down his movements.

As Chen Yan buttoned up the last button, his fingertip brushed lightly across Jiang Zhixin's back, causing her to shudder and pout, "What are you doing!"

Chen Yan shrugged, looking completely innocent: "My hand slipped."

After saying that, she mischievously tugged at the bra strap, and with a "snap," the strap snapped back onto Jiang Zhixin's shoulder.

Jiang Zhixin was so angry that she wanted to turn around and hit him again, but Chen Yan quickly grabbed her shoulder and said, "Don't move, let me help you tidy up a bit more."

As she spoke, she pretended to smooth out non-existent wrinkles on the lace.

Then he turned Jiang Zhixin around, ignoring her slightly flushed cheeks from anger, and admired his "masterpiece".

However, before Chen Yan could even admire her for three seconds, Jiang Zhixin swiftly pulled her clothes down and ran out of the room.

Jiang Zhixin was truly terrified. This guy, relying on his connections outside, dared not cause too much trouble and bullied her with impunity. If she stayed any longer, she might be executed on the spot.

After Jiang Zhixin left, Chen Yan made an excuse to go to the toilet, and only after it cooled down naturally did he leisurely walk out of the room.

……

After having dinner at Jiang Zhixin's house, Chen Yan planned to take her back to Ningbo.

Wu Lian and Jiang Zhihui's idea was to stay here for the night and go back early the next morning.

However, Chen Yan said he had something to do that evening, so Wu Lian and Jiang Zhihui stopped trying to persuade him to stay.

So, Jiang Zhixin went to the bedroom to pack some cosmetics and underwear, while Chen Yan, Wu Lian, and Jiang Zhihui waited downstairs with large and small bags.

"Xiao Chen, here are two down jackets for your parents."

"Here are a few cartons of cigarettes for your dad."

"This bag contains Dendrobium officinale and some health supplements..."

While enthusiastically introducing the bags, Wu Lian stuffed them into Chen Yan's trunk.

Chen Yan didn't say anything polite, and helped tidy up the things with a smile.
