Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

Snapped!

The video call ended.

Sun Mengjia breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

She saw Jiang Chen standing behind her with his arms crossed and a half-smile on his face.

"Oh! Old man, when did you get here? You scared me to death!" Sun Mengjia patted her chest, pretending to be naive.

Jiang Chen ignored her coquettishness and just looked at her calmly.

"Bad signal?"

"A red envelope upon meeting?"

"Several thousand dollars?"

Sun Mengjia's eyes darted around, and she chuckled dryly twice: "Ahem... well, it's all just what the girls were saying, just bragging."

"Alright, stop pretending."

Jiang Chen was amused and shook his head:

"I knew it! You were willing to come all this way with me for five hundred dollars. So this is what you were waiting for me here."

"You've got a good plan, Sun Mengjia."

"I'll give you 500 yuan, cover all your travel expenses, and you can even earn some clothes and other pocket money. In the end, I'll get a red envelope from my parents for meeting you and a red envelope for the New Year."

"You really hit the jackpot on this trip!"

He knew that these young women were all shrewd and calculating, and they wouldn't do anything without a reason.

I thought they were just trying to scam some travel expenses and save some money, but I didn't expect them to be waiting here.

Seeing that she had been exposed, Sun Mengjia stopped pretending, but still lowered her head somewhat guiltily and muttered softly, "Well, I was thinking that as a girlfriend visiting for the first time, according to custom, I should give her a red envelope..."

"but……"

She suddenly looked up at the large bags of clothes Jiang Chen was carrying, and then at her own warm Canada Goose coat.

He gritted his teeth, as if making a tremendous decision: "Don't worry, I absolutely won't take a single penny of the red envelope!"

"Really?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Really! I'm kidding!"

"You've bought me so many clothes. One shouldn't be too greedy. I know the rules of the game."

Sun Mengjia patted her chest and assured him.

The newly purchased goose was trembling as it was photographed, demonstrating just how much down it was filled and how much capital it cost.

Jiang Chen's lips twitched.

What the hell are the rules of the underworld?

However, seeing her pained yet determined expression, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more.

"Alright, remember what you said. Let's go buy some other things."

"Also, I want to remind you that my family is just an ordinary family, we don't have much money. The reason I bought so many things this time is mainly because I haven't been home for several years, and I wanted to show my filial piety and also let them know that I'm doing well outside so they won't worry."

"Don't think I'm a sucker, my family is rich."

……

For the next two hours, Jiang Chen went on a shopping spree.

While Canada Goose jackets are warm, their styles are indeed rather limited.

Jiang Chen simply took Sun Mengjia and swept through all the sports brands and trendy stores in the mall.

Outerwear, pants, shoes, innerwear, scarf...

Even when passing by a jewelry store, Sun Mengjia couldn't walk away.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "Buy!"

She bought all sorts of extravagant earrings, necklaces, and bracelets—anything she set her sights on.

Anyway, it's a waste not to spend this money, and buying these little things won't cost much.

In the end, the two had so many bags that they couldn't carry them all, so they had to store them in the mall's lockers.

"Is that enough?"

Looking at the overflowing cabinet, Sun Mengjia had a satisfied expression on her face, feeling that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.

Jiang Chen looked her up and down, his brows furrowing slightly.

The clothes were changed, the shoes were changed, the goose pendant was put on, and the exaggerated earrings and studs on the ears were replaced with small and exquisite styles.

But that withered, yellow hair was just too out of place.

No matter how expensive her clothes are, once her hair is exposed, she instantly goes from a rich heiress to a nerdy girl.

"Let's go get our hair done."

Jiang Chen pulled her straight to the hair salon.

……

"What? Dye it black? No way, absolutely not!"

"Heads may be severed, blood may flow, but the blond-haired brat must not be lost!"

"This is my true form! How can I survive in this industry if it's tainted?"

In the barbershop, Sun Mengjia protected her head as if she were about to be shaved, refusing to do it no matter what.

Jiang Chen was speechless: "Your hair is so dry and brittle! And the roots are all black, and you think it looks good?"

"That won't do! Black is too tacky, it has no personality at all!"

In the end, they both compromised.

Not dyed black.

However, you need to make your hair smooth, re-dye it, and get a more textured haircut.

Teacher Tony accepted 700 silver dollars from Jiang Chen and offered up his life's most precious skills.

Three hours later.

The moment Sun Mengjia stood up from the chair.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

Even though he already knew this girl had a good foundation, he didn't expect that dressing up would have such a powerful effect.

Her previously dry and tangled hair has now become smooth and shiny. Although it is still yellow, it has turned into a textured ash gray-brown color, which is said to be the same style as Ruth's.

Her hair was styled with soft curls and draped loosely over her shoulders.

The smoky makeup on her face had been removed, and she was only wearing light makeup.

Her skin was fair and radiant, full of collagen.

He wore a white cropped Canada Goose jacket on top, a pair of slim-fitting grey sweatpants on the bottom, and limited-edition sneakers on his feet.

He just stood there.

There's not a trace of that "energetic young woman" anymore; she's clearly a celebrity who stepped right out of a poster.

Jiang Chen even felt that she was more beautiful than Ruth herself.

He's a complete hoodlum, and he's also incredibly inexperienced.

Especially her long legs and her enviable curves that even a goose couldn't hide.

The pinnacle of pure desire is nothing more than this, isn't it?

Jiang Chen stared blankly, his heart skipping a beat.

"Are you stunned?"

Sun Mengjia looked at herself in the mirror and was a little hesitant to recognize herself, but she quickly reverted to her usual carefree self.

She winked at Jiang Chen and deliberately puffed out her chest.

"Are you regretting not sleeping with me last night?"

"Still the same price, one hundred yuan per shot. Anyway, I'm so pretty now, you won't lose out."

"If all else fails, two hundred dollars a day is fine too. You can do whatever you want, day or night."

Jiang Chen snapped out of his daze and looked at her nonchalant demeanor. The image of her squatting by the roadside smoking and constantly uttering "damn" flashed through his mind.

The fleeting, romantic thoughts that had just arisen were instantly doused with cold water.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but shudder at the thought of all the chaos she might have gone through in the past.

"roll!"

"Tch, so clueless about romance."

Sun Mengjia pursed her lips, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

With only a few hundred yuan left in the system funds, Jiang Chen was too lazy to spend it. The two of them carried large and small bags, walked out of the mall, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Jiang Chen's hometown.

The taxi headed north, leaving the bustling city center.

The roadside scenery gradually transformed into barren fields and farmhouses adorned with red couplets.

The closer Jiang Chen got to the village, the more uneasy he felt.

I wonder what his somewhat old-fashioned father and his honest and upright mother would think if they knew that the girlfriend he brought home was a quirky young woman.

And then there were all those distant relatives who had already pulled up their stools, ready to watch the spectacle unfold.

"Old man, what's the rush?"

Sun Mengjia seemed to sense his anxiety, took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag, put them on, leaned back in the seat, and exuded an aura of dominance:

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this business."

"Once we get into the village, all you have to do is laugh, leave the rest to me!"

Looking at her imposing manner, and the runes that occasionally peeked out from her wrist, Jiang Chen felt even more uncertain.

I hope everything goes well.
