Chapter 29: Bad Luck

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Our dog never bites a good person. Mom, you’re right. President Cheng might not be a good person,” Sheng Jiu said calmly to Madam Sheng.

Madam Sheng said, “Alright, then you should stay away from him from now on.”

Sheng Jiu nodded. “I know, Mom.”

The next afternoon, Sheng Jiu made a special trip to Cheng’s Group to visit Cheng Xinkai in person to show her sincerity as a friend.

Sheng Jiu stood in front of the Cheng Corporation building and looked at the place where she had spent five years of her youth. The hatred in her heart deepened, and she wished he could blow this place up. Sooner or later, Sheng Jiu would take it back herself. She would not leave anything that belonged to her to that scumbag Cheng Xinkai!

“Handsome, who are you looking for in the Cheng Corporation? Is there anything I can help you with?” A shy voice sounded in Sheng Jiu’s ear. She turned around and saw a young woman greeting her with a smile. She was an old acquaintance.

“I’m looking for your president, Cheng Xinkai,” Sheng Jiu replied.

“You’re looking for my brother? Are you my brother’s friend? Why haven’t I seen you before? My name is Cheng Nuan, and I happen to be looking for my brother as well. Come, I’ll take you in,” Cheng Nuan introduced herself excitedly. Cheng Nuan basically knew all of Cheng Xinkai’s friends, especially good-looking young talents, but she had never seen such a handsome man before. She was probably her brother’s new friend.

Cheng Nuan was obsessed with looks and liked all good-looking men. Young Master Sheng Jiu’s face just happened to fit her taste. Her brother had made such a handsome friend, so why didn’t he introduce her to her? If she hadn’t come to the company today, she would have missed out on such a good-looking man! Since she was her brother’s friend, wouldn’t she be able to take advantage of thid favorable position?

“Thank you.” Sheng Jiu nodded.

“It’s no trouble at all. I’m happy to serve you. By the way, what’s your name?” Cheng Nuan’s eyes never left Sheng Jiu’s face. The word “like” was written all over her face.

“Sheng Jiu.” Sheng Jiu’s tone was cold. This Cheng Nuan used to look down on her in all sorts of ways, always bullying her openly and secretly. She did not expect to change into a body that attracted Cheng Nuan.

“Sheng Jiu, that’s a nice name.” Cheng Nuan didn’t think that Sheng Jiu’s attitude was cold. She just thought that handsome men should be kept at arm’s length. That was the only way to attract people. The more difficult a man was, the more one would want to conquer him.

Sheng Jiu followed Cheng Nuan to Cheng Xinkai’s office. However, when they reached the door of the president’s office, Sheng Jiu was a little dazed when she saw the locked assistant office; it was her old office.

“Young Master Sheng Jiu, what are you looking at?” Cheng Nuan followed her gaze and saw the office that Qiao Xi used in the past. After Qiao Xi died, this office was temporarily locked. Every time Cheng Nuan came over, she felt unlucky. She hated that stupid woman, Qiao Xi. It was better if she died.

“Bad luck!” Cheng Nuan cursed under her breath.

“What did you say?” Sheng Jiu’s voice turned cold.

“Sheng Jiu, the locked office was used by my brother’s former assistant, a woman with bad luck all over her body. However, a fire broke out at her home some time ago and everyone was burned to death. Perhaps God couldn’t stand it and killed her.” Cheng Nuan pouted.

“Cheng Nuan, shut up!” Cheng Xinkai opened the door and came out. He scolded Cheng Nuan with a cold expression. “I said not to mention her again.” Cheng Xinkai’s gaze was rather terrifying. When Qiao Xi died in front of him, Cheng Xinkai would never forget that painful and resentful gaze, so he didn’t want anyone to mention Qiao Xi’s name again.

“Got it, Brother. I was just casually telling Sheng Jiu,” Cheng Nuan said coquettishly.

“Young Master Sheng, I’ve embarrassed myself. Why are you here?” Cheng Xinkai asked Sheng Jiu.

Sheng Jiu regained her expressionless face. Her gaze shifted from Qiao Xi’s office to Cheng Xinkai’s face. The calmness in her eyes immediately turned sharp, cutting Cheng Xinkai’s face bit by bit.

“Wasn’t President Cheng injured at our house yesterday? I’m here to see if President Cheng is feeling better,” Sheng Jiu said casually.

“Young Master Sheng is so considerate. There is no need to trouble Young Master Sheng to come over personally. Come, come in and have a seat.” Cheng Xinkai immediately welcomed her with a smile. Since Sheng Jiu had come to see her friend personally, it meant that she valued him very much.
