The smile on Chen Chen’s face faded.
“So what relationship do you think we have?” She stepped backwards and saw that there was nobody around. The whole condition was not beneficial for her.
“No matter what relationship you have, you can’t have any thoughts for him.” Zhao Jie looked at her with despise and envy…
Did she envy me? Chen Chen understood that this woman liked Jiang Rui!
“Eh, I think you misunderstood it.” Chen Chen felt relieved, “The relationship between him and me is not like that on your mind. As for my daughter, it’s just a mistake from when we were young. If you like him, you should chase him bravely!”
Then Zhao Jie was confused. She had thought that Chen Chen would be stubborn and quarrel with her. Then she could make use of the chance and teach her a lesson. However, Chen Chen didn’t even mean that.
“I… I haven’t. You should stop talking nonsense.” Zhao Jie was embarrassed. Eight out of ten female soldiers in her troop liked Jiang Rui. She didn’t even have a chance!
“Judging from your expression, you’re having a crush on him.” Chen Chen shook her head, “You can’t act like this. You should chase him bravely and win his heart cautiously.”
Then you would know he was not the way you thought and that he was evil inside.
“I can’t.” Zhao Jie was a little upset, “They all say our Master will marry Colonel Bai.”
Colonel Bai? What’s that… Chen Chen blinked and continued, “You mean he has a girlfriend already?”
“I don’t know.” Zhao Jie shook her head, “But everyone knows he treats Colonel Bai differently.”
Chen Chen was at ease. Since he had a girlfriend, she didn’t have to worry about giving herself out! Thinking of that, she felt relaxed and then hungry.
“I’m hungry. We still haven’t reached the canteen?”
“Ah, I’ll take you there right away.” Zhao Jie ashamedly held her hand and continued walking.
It was so strange. She had just wanted to kill me. The minute she heard that I didn’t like Jiang Rui, her whole attitude was changed. Chen Chen complained along the way. She couldn’t understand what was so great in this hateful man. If Ah Zi heard her words, she could definitely despise her.
He was not good at all. Then why did you choose his sperm then…?
In the middle of the lunch, Jiang Rui took several soldiers along. Then Chen Chen realized he didn’t eat, either. It’s necessary to be polite in his place. So Chen Chen politely pushed over the porridge which was half-eaten by her.
“I’m full. You can drink it.”
Zhao Jie wanted to say that Master would never use others’ stuff. But Jiang Rui had taken up the bowl and drunk it up.
Bear, Scar and Xiao Si acted like they had already known about it. The other two soldiers were staring at Jiang Rui in shock.
“After you finish eating, I’ll take you to school.” Jiang Rui said while eating.
Chen Chen glanced at him, “They told me to get there in the morning. If I reach there now, there will be absolutely no one to receive me.”
Jiang Rui ignored her, finished eating quickly and stood up, “Let’s go.”
“I told you. Now that you don’t believe, you may get kicked out by them!” She pouted and followed him unwillingly. She hadn’t looked around in the camp!
Scar and Xiao Si were at the front, walking and fighting. At last, Xiao Si was pressed to the ground by Scar. Xiao Si cried out and said to Chen Chen, “Mrs. Jiang, I can’t drive you there. I’ll definitely win the next time!”
“Haha!” Chen Chen laughed. “If you want to, you can come with us. There is plenty of room in this large car!”
Bear was already in the driving seat. Jiang Rui stepped into the car and looked at her, “Stop giggling. Hurry up.”
Chen Chen took back her smile and stared at the man before she got into the car. Xiao Si waved at her pitifully.
When the car was gone, Zhao Jie tentatively asked, “Master and Chen Chen…”
“Director Zhao, you’re not my Master’s soldier, so you should call him officer.” Changing his then joking behaviors, Xiao Si looked cold and even his body was stiff, “You should do your own job and figure out where you should be. Otherwise… you know the consequence.”
After being scolded like that, Zhao Jie’s eyes turned red, “I… I didn’t.”
Xiao Si didn’t change his attitude because of her tears. He just took a glimpse of her and left.
Jiang Rui was in charge of the big troop. But only those who had fought beside him could call him master. What were you women?
On this side, Chen Chen knew nothing about Zhao Jie’s being criticized. She was proudly watching Jiang Rui’s car being stopped at the gate of the school.
“Are you happy about it?” Jiang Rui looked at her.
Chen Chen immediately hid her smile away and said seriously, “No, I’m very angry.” She pointed at the balusters by the gate, “How dare they stop you!”
Such a little thing could make her so excited. Jiang Rui was once again speechless about Chen Chen’s limited intelligence. Bear was making phone calls impatiently and it didn’t take too long before several people ran out from the school.
One of them seriously criticized the soldier by the gate.
“Officer Jiang, I’m really sorry. The newbie didn’t recognize your car.” A middle-aged man with glasses stood in front of the car and peered into the car. Jiang Rui nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
Bear started the car. Chen Chen saw those people running with the car and couldn’t help feeling complicated. This man’s power had contaminated the school? She moved to the window.
“Do you feel cold?” Jiang Rui looked at her.
“No, no!” Chen Chen seated herself well immediately, “I feel very hot, not cold at all!”
“Then why are you shivering?”
Chen Chen uttered an “Ah” and secretly stared at Jiang Rui. He was looking at the front emotionlessly.
“I didn’t shiver. It’s a bumpy ride.” She didn’t admit, failing to notice the smile in Jiang Rui’s eyes.
Bear cut in, “Mrs. Jiang, I used to drive a tank. I drive the most steadily!”
“Don’t call me Mrs. Jiang.” Chen Chen was angry, “What if anyone else knows?”
If others knew about her relationship with Jiang Rui, her good days would be over. Besides, it was hard to explain their relationship.
“That’s right!” But Bear apparently misunderstood her, “You guys haven’t got married, so it’s not good. We can say that privately!”
Chen Chen felt her forehead and looked at Jiang Rui, “You don’t care about his words?”
“It’s a waste of time to explain something meaningless with unrelated people.” Jiang Rui coolly left the sentence behind and walked out of the car. Chen Chen followed into the elevator until they got seated in an office. She was still analyzing the meaning of the sentence in her mind…
Outside the door came footsteps. Those who had appeared by the gate finally showed up. They must have run back panting like that.
“Officer, are you here to inspect today?” The middle-aged man who wore glasses asked cautiously.
Jiang Rui reached out his hand to Chen Chen and Chen Chen gave him her hand, confused.
“…” Jiang Rui sighed, “The invitation.”
Chen Chen handed him the invitation with a flushing face.
“Headmaster Zhang, I’m here to send someone to you. She’s late for the appointment.”
Headmaster Zhang anxiously took over the envelope Jiang Rui gave him and wondered who could be sent by Jiang Rui in person. The person beside him might be his secretary, who said immediately, “Headmaster, she is the new chemistry teacher.”
“This miss?” Headmaster looked up and down at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen stood up, “Hi, I’m Chen Chen. I’ve sent you all my information.”
Headmaster Zhang took a look at Jiang Rui and replied, “We will arrange right away. Please wait for a moment.”
To be frank, Chen Chen felt funny seeing a man who was almost fifty being so cautious with Jiang Rui who was much younger than him. She found that except for Bear and those other brothers, other people were all very afraid of Jiang Rui.
Er, she didn’t want to admit, but she was also terrified of him…
“Headmaster, we’ve checked on Miss Chen. She’s clean.” The secretary said in a low voice.
Headmaster Zhang passed a piece of paper to Chen Chen right away, “Miss Chen, this is the letter of appointment. Please sign here.” He couldn’t figure out the relationship between Jiang Rui and this young girl. But he couldn’t treat her shabbily since she was sent by Jiang Rui in person.
It was lucky that she actually had a Ph.D. in chemistry though she seemed young. Besides, she graduated from a famous overseas university. They needed teachers like her, but the salary…
“You can deal with it in the usual way.” Jiang Rui could tell his trouble and said, “I’m not familiar with her.”
Chen Chen nodded heavily, “It’s true, headmaster. You don’t have to consider him. I don’t even know him!”
The headmaster felt it even more difficult to deal with. You dared to talk to him like that. How could you two not be close? Who would believe that!
“This is the curriculum arrangement for our school. You can make adjustments according to your special circumstances. You see.”
Chen Chen took it over and read very carefully. This had much to do with her future happy life.
“Do I only have lessons in the morning every day?” She was very satisfied, then she could arrange the time in the afternoon freely.
How did you see that there were only lessons in the afternoon? Headmaster Zhang was astonished. There were dots in P.M. sections as well, which meant it was the same as in the morning!
“Yes.” He clenched his teeth and nodded.
Seeing Jiang Rui’s eyes fixed on him, Headmaster Zhang didn’t dare to refuse.
In fact, he was totally mistaken. Jiang Rui meant that the headmaster didn’t have to give Chen Chen more lessons than the other teachers for his sake. In his mind, the more capable you were, the more responsibilities you should bear. Shouldn’t teachers feel more honored if they taught more students?
Chen Chen happily signed, “When should I come to work?”
Headmaster Zhang wanted to say at once when he heard Bear saying, “Master, it’s almost four o’clock.”
“Ah!” Chen Chen stood up and asked the headmaster again, “We are going to pick up our daughter. When should I start my job?”
Daughter… Headmaster Zhang suddenly felt he knew the relationship between Jiang Rui and Chen Chen. The smile on his face became even warmer, “Next Monday. Your class is the second one at ten in the morning!”
After the headmaster took Jiang Rui and the others to the gate and watched them leave, Headmaster Zhang finally felt relieved.
“Headmaster, have you heard Miss Chen’s words?”
Seeing the astonishment on his secretary’s face, the headmaster calmed down, “I heard it clearly. She said they would pick up their daughter.”
“That is to say… Miss Chen is Officer Jiang’s wife, and they have a daughter!”
Headmaster Zhang nodded. Then he remembered Jiang Rui’s words and reminded his secretary, “Officer Jiang just said that he didn’t want others to know he has been here today, which means he doesn’t want to expose Miss Chen’s status. You should be careful and don’t say anything about it.”
“Yes, I know.”
If such a big thing was exposed, how many people would be nervous about it? Headmaster Zhang had been sophisticated and naturally knew what Jiang Rui stood for. Those families all wanted to marry their daughters into the Jiang family. Now, none of them had the chance.
