Chapter 245 - You Were Once a Youth

Xiaoxia, who was originally a bit countrified, actually got a fashionable haircut.

They had all thought she had finally wised up.

Now, looking at Jiang Cheng's bentley continental with a license plate of five eights, a few people suddenly remembered.

Isn't that the Handsome Guy who bought five sets of houses last time?

The group looked at Jiang Cheng, who was dressed expensively, and immediately started imagining things.

Their gazes towards Xiaoxia also became meaningful.

Some were envious, others jealous.

"Xiaoxia, someone is looking for you."

Xiaoxia, who was sitting at her desk diligently looking at the computer, immediately looked up after hearing the sound.

Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear, Xiaoxia stood up in surprise.

"Mr. Jiang, why did you come in person? I was just about to deliver the property deeds to you after I finished eating."

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Haven't eaten yet? I haven't either. Shall we go eat together?"

Xiaoxia was about to nod in agreement.

Then she saw a sweet-looking female colleague next to her subtly and pointedly say, "Oh, I knew it. Why are you suddenly dressed so beautifully today, and even got a new hairstyle? So Mr. Jiang is here. Xiaoxia, you didn't say anything earlier. If I had known, I would have dressed up more nicely too."

After the female colleague finished speaking, the others also looked at her with a half-smile.

Seeing Xiaoxia's flustered look, Jiang Cheng smiled faintly and stared at the female colleague for several seconds.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was successfully attracted by her, the woman couldn't help but smile shyly.

Jiang Cheng looked at the woman's thick, wall-like foundation and moved his gaze away with a hint of disdain.

He said coldly, "Xiaoxia, I told you, your natural beauty is better than those who wear makeup, but you didn't believe me. Grab the property deeds and let's go. Come with me to look at the houses."

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, the woman's face immediately turned from green to red.

How could she not understand the meaning in Jiang Cheng's words?

The other colleagues, seeing Jiang Cheng speak like this, immediately put away their desire to watch the show and returned to their seats, pretending to be busy.

In just over a month, Jiang Cheng had accumulated an enormous amount of wealth.

This also added an inexplicable aura of a noble young master to him.

This aura was not intimidating enough for those who were also Second-generation rich, but it still held some deterrent power for ordinary people.

Seeing Jiang Cheng come to her rescue, Xiaoxia gave him a grateful look and then slowly nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go get your property deeds."

Soon, Xiaoxia got into Jiang Cheng's bentley continental.

It was clear that Xiaoxia was a bit down.

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, directly raising the car window.

He clicked on the music player, and music slowly began to play.

Sometimes you miss the old days... Many years ago, you had a pair of clear eyes.

...Xiaoxia, who was originally feeling a bit lost from being ostracized, felt even more touched deep down by the lyrics of this song. She couldn't help but get teary-eyed, turned her head to look out the window, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Cheng, watching all of this from the corner of his eye, did not interrupt her.

After a long while, Xiaoxia finally composed herself and slowly spoke to Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Jiang, thank you just now."

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly, "I was just speaking the truth."

Xiaoxia gave a bitter smile, "I know they look down on me, and at this very moment, they probably think of me as your... >..."

Xiaoxia's words stopped abruptly, but Jiang Cheng pulled out a mischievous smile, looked at her, and asked with interest, "My what?"

"Lover, I guess..." Xiaoxia said softly.

"So, you were sad and crying just now because of this?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng frown, Xiaoxia nervously waved her hand and explained, "No, no, please don't misunderstand, how could I be sad because of something like that?"

Jiang Cheng asked again, "Then what do you mean?"

"How could you possibly fancy me? They're just overthinking things... I just feel too lonely in this big city, I feel out of place with everyone around me, nobody likes me," Xiaoxia murmured.

Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "How do you know I don't fancy you?"

Xiaoxia's eyes widened in surprise, a glimmer of light appearing in them as she looked at Jiang Cheng and cautiously asked, "What do you mean by that?"
