Shen Yaoyao handed a black suit to Chu Ge and said, "Hurry up and change out of these clothes."
Chu Ge reluctantly took it, and frankly, he didn’t like wearing this suit at all. It made him feel like a total stiff, nowhere as casual and laid-back as sportswear.
Seeing his reluctance, Yaoyao pouted with some displeasure and said, "Hurry up and put it on. Today, Shen Mimi is also bringing her boyfriend back home. She claims her boyfriend is the son of Dang City’s wealthiest family. But looking at him, he’s oozing with nouveau riche vibes, not at all like a tycoon’s son, more like a swindler!"
Chu Ge was speechless, "But what does this have to do with me wearing a suit?"
Yaoyao gave him a look, "It’s all about the style! Do you really plan to wear casual clothes and pretend to be my boyfriend? I want you to help me make an impression! It’d be best if you could totally overshadow that nouveau riche!"
Chu Ge became even more speechless, "So you want me to help you make an impression, huh?"
Yaoyao nodded calmly, "Of course, what else do you think I invited you for? Let me tell you, Shen Mimi and I have never gotten along since childhood. We’ve constantly competed with each other. Now that she’s found herself a nouveau riche, I definitely can’t be outshone!"
"Although you’re just a minor employee in my sister’s company, with hardly any money, at least you have a better temperament and are more handsome than him."
Hearing all this, Chu Ge couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Alright then, do you really want me to change my clothes while you stand here watching?"
As soon as Yaoyao heard this, her cheeks turned red, and she laughed awkwardly before quickly running out of the room.
Chu Ge watched her fleeing figure and chuckled as he shook his head. This girl, really.
After changing and stepping out of the room, Tang Xin and Nangong Man Sha were still there, standing in the hallway looking out of the window, chatting.
When they saw Chu Ge coming out in a different outfit, they were somewhat stunned for a moment.
Especially Tang Xin, who was used to seeing Chu Ge in casual attire, chucking carefree and casual carries always imprinted in her mind—seeing him in formal wear was suddenly slightly jarring.
Feeling uneasy from being stared at by the two of them, Chu Ge asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tang Xin laughed and shook her head, "Indeed, clothes make the man. Mr. Chu looks completely different after changing into formal wear."
"What’s so different? It’s still one nose and two eyes, not like I’ve grown an extra eye or anything."
Chu Ge joked; he didn’t care much about how he looked in a suit, but it had to be said that wearing a suit felt rather uncomfortable.
Especially for someone like him who was used to being lazy and relaxed, it was exceptionally unaccustomed.
Shen Yaoyao had also changed into a light blue tassel skirt in her room, which matched perfectly with Chu Ge’s blue tie—a perfect pairing.
The smile on Tang Xin’s lips subtly faded upon seeing Yaoyao’s outfit.
"Mr. Chu, are you heading out?" Tang Xin felt somewhat displeased with Yaoyao for intentionally hiding her real identity.
They were welcoming hosts; even if you directly said your home was in Su City but wanted to stay with the Tang Family for a few days, she would have gladly welcomed you. But it truly upset her to start off with a lie.
Good manners didn’t make Tang Xin’s presence too apparent.
Chu Ge nodded, "Hmm, I need to step out, you guys chat slowly. I’m leaving first."
Chu Ge looked back at Shen Yaoyao and said, "Let’s go."
Shen Yaoyao made an acknowledging sound, then nodded to Nangong Man Sha and Tang Xin, and quickly followed Chu Ge.
Their trip to the Shen Family’s home was quicker this time. Shen Yaoyao didn’t even have time to react before she found herself at the Shen Family’s doorstep.
At the entrance, many cars were parked. Shen Yaoyao recognized the owners of these vehicles by the license plates.
Shen Yaoyao couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. That Shen Mimi, she must be dying to let the whole world know she’s back!
"There will be many people at home today. If they ask you questions later, remember not to spout nonsense."
Shen Yaoyao suddenly felt annoyed that she hadn’t prepared in advance for the questions her grandfather would ask.
Seeing her suddenly tense up, Chu Ge raised his hand to lightly pat the back of her head and said, "Don’t worry, I know the drill."
It was as if Shen Mimi had been watching the doorway the whole time; as soon as she saw Shen Yaoyao appear, she immediately ran out from inside the house, making sure to tell everyone before she came out that Shen Yaoyao was back.
"Shen Yaoyao, you sure are slow-moving. Having been back for so many days and not even bothering to visit Grandpa." Shen Mimi’s scrutinizing eyes swept back and forth over Chu Ge, a gleam in her eye. Could this man be Shen Yaoyao’s boyfriend?
Shen Yaoyao looked at Shen Mimi with some displeasure and said, "Shen Mimi, thanks to your big mouth, now the whole Shen Family knows I’m back! It saves me the trouble of visiting each one."
Thanks to Shen Mimi, all those vehicles outside belonged to the Shen Family’s relatives. Now they had all gathered at the Shen household, unsure whether they were here to see Shen Yaoyao or for Shen Mimi’s wealthy boyfriend.
The corners of Shen Mimi’s mouth curled into a faint smile, "Shen Yaoyao, is this the boyfriend you mentioned? You didn’t just randomly rent one because you don’t have a boyfriend, did you?"
Chu Ge’s brows raised, his sharp gaze upon her. He did not want to get involved in women’s business, but to say he was rented randomly?
Hmm... he might not be the best fit for a suit, and to call it random might be apt, but where did the idea of renting come from? He hadn’t received a dime!
Shen Yaoyao affectionately stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Chu Ge’s arm, leaning against him adoringly with a soft laugh, "Shen Mimi, what you’re saying... are you jealous of my boyfriend’s good looks? Too bad you’re mistaken, he’s my bona fide boyfriend."
"Oh?" Shen Mimi was still skeptical. The man in front of her indeed had an exceptional aura, standing out from the crowd, and even his handsome face was especially heart-stirring.
But such a man paired with Shen Yaoyao always seemed a bit mismatched.
Seeing Shen Yaoyao and Chu Ge’s close interaction, Shen Mimi felt uncomfortable. Why could Shen Yaoyao find such a good-looking boyfriend!
"Young man, what do you do?" Shen Mimi knew her own boyfriend was losing in terms of looks, but what did looks matter? Money was everything.
Even if this man looked good, without money he was still just a loser!
Chu Ge was about to open his mouth to answer, but suddenly he heard Shen Yaoyao speaking up beside him, "He runs a company in Shanghai."
