After Rebirth I Became a Rich Man’s Wife - Chapter 31

“How are you today? Are you still getting used to military training?” Behind Si Ye was a huge floor-to-ceiling window with neon lights flashing outside.

“It’s okay, Uncle Si, are you still at the company?” Chen Xu looked at the scenery behind Si Ye, he should be in the company building.

“Well, there is still a little work to be done.” Si Ye took a sip of coffee.

Chen Xu frowned and said, “Uncle Si don’t drink coffee so late. Work is endless, so go back and rest early.”

Hearing what Chen Xu said, Si Ye’s eyes softened, “Thank you Xiao Xu for your concern, I will go back after I finish my work.”

Chen Xu nodded with a serious face, and said, “I will let Secretary Jiang supervise you.”

“When did Secretary Jiang betray me and change to your side?” Si Ye teased.

Standing on the balcony, Chen Xu glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, “Don’t make trouble for Secretary Jiang., I am the boss’ wife now, and Secretary Jiang dare not veto my words.”

Hearing the three words “Boss’ wife”, the smile on Si Ye’s face gradually deepened, “My child, you are really self aware.”

Chen Xu rubbed his hot ears and said nothing.

After they chatted for a while, Chen Xu urged Si Ye to work quickly, and go back to rest sooner.

Si Ye smiled helplessly, “Okay, now you have the demeanor of Mrs. Si.”

Chen Xu suddenly felt heat on his cheeks, and his whole face turned red, like a ripe peach, which made people want to take a bite.

“I will end the conversation, good night.” Chen Xu hung up the video call and stayed on the balcony to let the cold wind blow on him before returning to the dormitory.

As Tang Zhen took a change of clothes and prepared to take a bath in the bathroom, he happened to see Chen Xu pushing the door open and walking in.

“Wow, Chen Xu, your face is full of spring love, you and your boyfriend have a really good relationship~”

Tang Zhen winked and teased Chen Xu, but Chen Xu was confused, “No, I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“Oh…I understand, don’t worry, I am not a big-mouthed person, and I won’t say anything.” Tang Zhen smiled meaningfully at Chen Xu and pushed the door and walked into the bathroom.

Chen Xu was left to stand alone at a loss for words.

The next day the weather was bad, and it started to rain before dawn. After dawn, the rain did not decrease, but became even greater. Unsurprisingly, the military training for the day was cancelled. Chen Xu opened the group chat and looked at the news. There was a burst of cheers from everyone.

It seems that no one wants to do military training.

Because of the rain, Chen Xu and his friends had nothing to do, and they all stayed in the dormitory.

Wu Bin was making use of every second to study, Zhu Yaoyuan was playing games with headphones on, Tang Zhen was lying on his bed and playing with his phone, and Chen Xu was sitting in his seat and drawing pictures. He studied fashion design in his previous life, and even got many small awards during his four years at college. He even planned to create his own clothing brand after he graduated, it’s a pity that he fell short because of his death.

In this life, although Chen Xu chose to major in economics, he is still very interested in fashion design. When he is inspired, he will take a pen and draw.

“Fuck! Chen Xu, you are on fire again!” Tang Zhen suddenly sat up from the bed, and it could be heard from his voice that he was shocked.

Wu Bin frowned, displeased, , bit his nails with irritation, and scribbled circles on a notebook with the pen in his hand.

Tang Zhen and him slept diagonally, he was by the window, Tang Zhen was by the door, Chen Xu was behind Wu Bin, and Zhu Yaoyuan was next to him in the same row.

“Look!” Tang Zhen was nimble like a monkey, quickly climbed off the bed and handed the phone to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu took a look at it, and the rising posts were actually talking about him and Si Yichen.

The most popular post also contains a few photos. It was when he and  Si Yichen started to throw hands, they seemed to be arguing over something.

“The rich young master bullies others, the zhuangyuan (1) is not afraid of power…” Chen Xu looked at the title and was a little speechless. If people knew about his relationship with Si Yichen, he too would probably have no good end.

“Did he really beat you up that day?” Tang Zhen asked curiously.

Chen Xu shook her head, “No, he can’t win against me.”

“Hahahaha, Chen Xu, you really know how to brag.” Tang Zhen looked at Chen Xu’s body, it didn’t seem like he could beat Si Yichen.

“Then what they said is true? This person called Si Yichen is really bullying you, and even wants to replace you as the freshers’ representative?”

“That’s right, but the principal is a sensible person, and finally let me go out on stage.” Chen Xu replied casually, not at all like a bullied person.

“It’s disgusting. If they don’t have the ability they want enter through the back door[2] to rob other people’s opportunities. It’s great to have money.” Tang Zhen scolded Si Yichen indignantly, and Chen Xu was silent. Not telling Tang Zhen that he is also rich.

The post went viral all morning, and suddenly disappeared at noon, and all related posts also went invisible.

1L: Tsk tsk, the power of money is scary.

2L: My friend, your number is gone.

3L: It’s really worthy of being a wealthy young master. In the future, we poor people will definitely have to offer what the young master wants. Who can afford to provoke the rich?

4L: The points of SYC must be bought too. What can’t be done with money? Xun hurts the school grass.

5L: Who is the school grass? YX?

6L: YX’s reign is over, the new school grass is obviously CX!

7L: By the way, CX’s appearance is really good, and he is also intelligent. No wonder SYC doesn’t like him. Where is CX and what had happened to him?

(** syc, cx, yx, their names are shortened, it’s in the raws)

Si Yichen scrolled through the thread, every remark pierced his heart, making him fumed with anger.

Chen Xu, Chen Xu, how can Chen Xu be everywhere! The marks were obviously from his own ability, so why do these people say that he bought his marks!

As soon as school started, Si Yichen’s image of a rich second-generation bully was well-known by all the students in A university. The more posts were deleted, the more people from the university said that he had great power, and he even tried to prove himself. He performed really well in his studies but people said he paid someone to do his work and not it’s his own strength.

Si Yichen jumped around with anger, but there was nothing he could do with these gossips. After all, everybody had a mouth on their face, and he couldn’t make everyone shut up.

After half a month of military training, only Chen Xu was not tanned in the entire dormitory. Tang Zhen looked at his fair and smooth face, feeling sour as if he had swallowed a whole lemon tree.

The thing with Zhu Yaoyuan was that he was tanned a little and looked more sunny and handsome. Even after the military training, he received several love letters. He was so happy that he was silly all day.

However, when Zhu Yaoyuan and Tang Zhen received love letters, most of them they were asked to pass on to Chen Xu. After receiving them, Chen Xu returned them one by one, and instructed Zhu Yaoyuan to stop giving love letters for others.

Love letters are very difficult for Chen Xu to deal with. Throwing away in the trash cans seems very disrespectful. If he puts it away it would take up too much space, and if it is accidentally seen by others, it won’t be good for the person who wrote it, so he simply returns the love letter, and whoever wrote it will keep it.

Unexpectedly, his behavior won the favor of many girls, and they praised him as a warm-hearted man.

Chen Xu didn’t feel that he was a warm-hearted man, and he didn’t feel bad about refusing when someone confessed in person.

The freshman class didn’t take long, and it soon became the Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhu Yaoyuan and Chen Xu are locals, and they both want to go home. Only Tang Zhen and Wu Bin are left in the dormitory. Because there are only three days of vacation, both of them didn’t go back, Tang Zhen took a part-time job and worked in a cake shop.

“Then I will leave first and come back to bring you mooncakes.” Zhu Yaoyuan happily took his luggage and walked to the car after the class at noon.

Chen Xu had to go to the library for a while, and was not in a hurry to go back. Apart from bringing some school supplies, he had nothing to bring, so he simply packed up and took his mobile phone to the library.

As soon as he went out, he heard a commotion at the door. It turned out that Si Yichen’s luxury car came to pick him up. Although Si Yichen is now in the eyes of his classmates as someone without a good character, but he is rich, so there are still people rushing to fawn over him

Si Yichen proudly got into the car, and the driver respectfully closed the door. After getting in the car, the driver asked Si Yichen if he wanted to wait for Chen Xu. When Si Yichen heard Chen Xu’s name, his face suddenly became cold, “Drive .”

The driver’s heart tensed and hurriedly drove away from the school gate. It seemed that the war between Young master Chen and Young master Xu had escalated again.

“Did you see the car Si Yichen was riding in? This is the first time I have seen such a car in real life. His driver called him a young master. It was like a TV show.”

“Who made him a rich second-generation? Their family is powerful. This car is definitely nothing for him. Chen Xu is also lucky . If I were Si Yichen, and my family is that rich, I would definitely walk sideways. Just Chen Xu is nothing, even if I was the principal I would retire him.”

“Hahahahaha, you have a dream, but it’s really strange that Si Yichen hasn’t caused any trouble for Chen Xu since that time. It would just be a matter of minutes to deal with Chen Xu, an ordinary student.”

“Maybe Chen Xu is also a rich second-generation hahahaha…”

“Where do so many rich second-generation come from, that they all gottogether in our university, not to mention that Chen Xu has grown up like that, and he is zhuangyuan. If he is a rich second-generation, how would ordinary people like us survive?”

At this time, Chen Xu didn’t know that his classmates were talking about him. He checked the materials in the library until 8 o’clock in the evening, and it was only when Si Ye called him that he recovered and realized that it was late.

“Still at the university?”

Chen Xu heard Si Ye’s question, and felt guilty for some reason, “Yes, I’m in the library.”

“Did you have dinner?” Si Ye asked.

“Have.” Chen Xu replied without hesitation.

“Hmm?” Si Ye obviously saw his clumsy lie, but the short nasal sound made Chen Xu a little flustered.

“I haven’t…” Chen Xu’s stomach also called out in cooperation.

“Wait for me to pick you up and take you to eat something.” Si Ye probably heard the sound from his stomach and said with a smile.

Chen Xu rubbed his hot ears, “Okay, Uncle Si.”

Chen Xu planned to borrow the book he hadn’t finished reading. He first went back to the bedroom. It was pitch black. Chen Xu thought there was no one inside. He reached out and turned on the light. When the light turned on, he saw Wu Bin sneakily standing by his table, his body visibly trembled after seeing Chen Xu.

Chen Xu frowned and walked over, “Why don’t you turn on the lights?”

Wu Bin walked to his place and said in a low voice, “No need to turn on the lights. The electricity bill is quite expensive.”

It’s not that Chen Xu doesn’t know the suffering of the world. It is indeed necessary to save when it is time to save, but it’s dark and Wu Bin still doesn’t turn on the lights. In case of a heavy fall the cost of going to the hospital is far more expensive than the electricity bill.

Chen Xu took the things he had packed and hurriedly walked out. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Tang Zhen.

Chen Xu: Remember to lock your cabinet when you go out.
