With just a single pill, Jiang Chen could refine her body and transform her into a figure of exquisite beauty. If he wished to become handsome, it would be a matter of moments; however, Jiang Chen preferred not to draw too much attention to himself. When the time was right, he would undoubtedly present a different visage.
The charm of Jiang Chen was beyond mere words; he was like a jade among men, unmatched in the world.
Seeing Qin Xiaoya speaking nonsense with her eyes wide open, Qin Baonan and the others looked on helplessly, their expressions complex, as if they were witnessing someone lost in love, having completely lost their rationality.
"Ah!"
"Ah, Qin Xiaoya, I... don't know what to say to you."
"Qin Xiaoya, your behavior is worrying us."
Qin Xiaoya's grandfather and parents spoke up, their faces filled with concern. They had never seen Qin Xiaoya like this, leaving them at a loss for what to do.
"You really don’t need to worry about me," Qin Xiaoya said, on the verge of breaking down. Her family simply did not understand her plight, and she felt helpless.
"With you acting this way, Grandpa really can't trust you with the vast family estate," Qin Baonan sighed lightly.
Qin Xiaoya remained silent, staring blankly at her grandfather before suddenly saying, "Grandpa, if I had only two choices before me—being a maid for the young master or becoming the head of the Qin family—I would unhesitatingly choose to be the young master's maid."
"I hope you won't regret your choice," Qin Baonan replied, feeling that he could not make sense of it all. He turned and walked back to his study.
The next day, Wang Shun Yuan and Huang Lin continued to accompany Jiang Chen and others as they explored the capital. Chen Renjing also mustered the courage to join them, repeatedly trying to catch Jiang Chen's attention. However, he paid her no mind, which left her feeling dejected.
Although Chen Renjing was envious of Jiang Chen, she understood that jealousy was futile. After calming down last night and reflecting on the previous day's events and details, she had to admit that Qin Xiaoya's respect for Jiang Chen stemmed not from love but from admiration.
Jiang Chen was undoubtedly hiding his true identity.
Thus, Chen Renjing decided to join them today with one goal in mind: to improve her relationship with Jiang Chen. Yet he remained cold towards her. Normally, she would have been furious and vented her anger; today, however, she chose to endure it.
During lunch at Qianmen Street, Chen Renjing couldn't help but ask Wang Shun Yuan, "By the way, did Wang Tu really say he would compensate you ten million the night before last? Did it arrive yesterday?"
"No, that was just Miss Qin trying to scare him; there's no way she'd actually make him pay ten million," Wang Shun Yuan replied with a laugh.
"I don't think Miss Qin is joking about this; it probably just needs some time," Chen Renjing said.
"To be honest, if he really transferred it to me, I wouldn't dare accept it," Wang Shun Yuan chuckled.
Since Chen Renjing brought up the topic, Jiang Chen interjected, "If he had compensated yesterday, twenty million would have settled things. Unfortunately, that didn't happen; now twenty million won't resolve anything."
Everyone at the table turned their attention to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, you’re not seriously expecting him to pay two hundred million, are you?" Liu Ying joked.
It was originally a joke, but Jiang Chen nodded and smiled slightly, saying, "Liu Ying, you are right."
The air suddenly fell silent, and everyone was taken aback.
Although they had already witnessed Qin Xiaoya's extravagant spending, their understanding had grown considerably, yet hearing about two hundred million still left them in shock.
Just for being a day late, the penalty was tenfold. Moreover, from the perspectives of Wang Shun Yuan and Liu Ying, they felt that they had merely been splashed with some red wine by that young master Wang. A simple apology would have sufficed for them, but now it had escalated to a compensation of two hundred million. They were stunned and somewhat dazed by the turn of events.
