Chapter 24 I CAME, I SAW, I MARRIED PART 12



Xue Lin gazed over his outfit and commented, "So, you are still unemployed."

Ge Chen blinked before answering, "I am. What about you?" His eyes looked amused. ’Well, well, look at that. She could tell just by looking. I guess my disguise is perfect.’

Xue Lin didn’t notice his gaze. When she heard his question, her body limped. She bent down and put her head down on the table and said, "I’m unemployed too."

"That’s not what I meant." Ge Chen calmly gazed at her. "But it means that you are not well."

"How can I? If this continues, I’m not sure that I’ll be able to eat properly." Xue Lin pursed her lips.

’And she is more worried about food than her future...’ Ge Chen suggested, "You can always look for a job."

Xue Lin slammed the table and looked at him. "I’m looking for a job. With my grades and experience, I should get a job but no one is taking me in. it’s more like they are avoiding me like a plague."

Their pastries had been served and they started eating. Ge Chen asked, "Did you offend someone powerful?"

Xue Lin’s hand paused. Her eyes slowly landed on the man opposite her and asked, "Are you trying to say that someone is manipulating behind my back?"

"That’s how powerful people control those who disobey them." Ge Chen replied.

Xue Lin frowned. "That’s the very reason why I hate rich people. Don’t they have other things to do?"

"So, you did offend someone." Ge Chen acted as if he knew nothing.

Xue Lin clenched her fists. "I didn’t plan on doing so. I just stated the truth and it made them mad. I don’t understand what made them so angry. I didn’t insult them or anything."

’You insulted the old man from their house. Of course, they are angry.’ Ge Chen coughed slightly. "How did that happen? I never thought you would offend others."

"You don’t know me, mister. And also, it’s not my fault. I never mess with someone as long as they don’t bother me. It was their fault to meddle into my business." Xue Lin recalled that time and got angry. "Do you want to know what happened?" She didn’t wait for his answer and started to tell him everything.

When she told him that her passport was burnt and her cell phone was destroyed, Ge Chen knitted his eyebrows. No wonder she couldn’t ask for her friends’ help.

"That old geezer. We never met and he dared to send his trashy grandson to marry me. What a nerve!" After she vented everything that was inside her heart, she felt lighter. The pastry tasted sweeter than before. Her mood lifted and she ordered another one.

"It must be hard for you." Ge Chen empathized.

Xue Lin thought about it before replying, "I won’t say it’s hard. Maybe leaving this city would be better."

Ge Chen asked, "Didn’t you apply to all the universities for the job? They seem powerful enough to be able to manipulate the whole country. No matter where you go, they will know."

Only then she realized that she had no way out. Her heartbeat increased. "What should I do then?"

Ge Chen felt bad to see her become pale all of a sudden. She looked worried. "To beat down your enemy, you have to know your enemy first. Do you remember which family it was? This way you can counter-attack."

Xue Lin shook her head. "I don’t remember. I didn’t pay attention to anything that evening."

’Why am I not surprised?’ Ge Chen already discovered that she never had bothered with anything that didn’t interest her. "Hmm... I’m good at finding info. Why don’t we go to that restaurant and ask the employees there? After you find out who is your enemy, you can avoid them. This way, you won’t fall into their trap in the future."

Xue line looked at him with a new expression. "You sound like a detective. But why do you want to help me?"

Ge Chen showed a surprised expression. "How can I leave an old acquaintance alone? I’m not that of a bad guy. Moreover, I’m also a victim like you."

Xue Lin exclaimed, "You are! What happened?"

"That’s a long story. You have already finished your pastry." Ge Chen pointed out the empty plate.

Xue Lin looked at her plate and saw that nothing was left to eat. She became gloomy. "Oh, I can’t eat anymore. I shouldn’t spend more money today." She called for a waiter.

The waiter was a young lad. He said, "Miss, today we have a special occasion. Our new owner held an event. Any couple who came here today can eat freely."

Xue Lin was taking out money. When she heard him, her hand paused. "Is that so?"

The waiter said happily, "It is, miss, as long as you are a couple." After the new owner came, he got a bonus. He was over the moon.

Xue Lin’s expression changed immediately. Her eyes started to sparkle. "Does that mean I can eat as much as I want?"

The waiter smiled. "That’s correct, miss."

Xue Lin didn’t miss her chance. She said, "Then give me, um no, us two pieces of every pastry."

"As you wish, miss. You are a lovely couple." The waiter scratched the back of his head.

Ge Chen instantly said with a smile, "Thank you very much. Please give us your blessing." He was very pleased to hear that.

"Yes, thank you." Xue Lin also said. She was over the moon that she could do all of them without paying a single cent.

After the waiter left, she looked at Ge Chen and said, "I apologize for using you but I’m not giving you any share." She didn’t look sorry at all.

Ge Chen chuckled. "I don’t need your share. I think I had enough. Do you like sweets a lot?"

Xue Lin nodded excitedly. "I do. This is the best medicine to lift one’s mood. I came here because I was sad. After eating just two pieces of pastries, I’m happy. If I eat more now, I’ll become even happier." She was already happier and it was all over her face. She couldn’t hide her childish grin.

She suddenly remembered. "Hey, you were about to say something about your life. I want to hear more."
