Chapter 13: The Snobbish Woman

In the center of Moonsea City's pedestrian street.

In a high-end clothing store, Lin Chen saw Leng Han Yan come out in another set of clothes.

A deep blue denim short skirt, revealing a pair of legs that sparked endless imagination, a pink short-sleeved top, and a pair of black leather shoes with tassels.

A simple outfit, but both men and women in the store were filled with admiration.

Leng Han Yan turned around in front of Lin Chen and asked hopefully, "Lin Chen, how does this look?"

Lin Chen repeated the words he had already said dozens of times today: "It looks good."

Leng Han Yan rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, "Why do you always say that? It's so insincere! Can't you use different words?"

Lin Chen said helplessly, "Sis, you're naturally beautiful, and you look good in anything. It really does look good. But we've been shopping for hours, and you just keep looking without buying anything. What's the point? Aren't you tired?"

He felt that accompanying a woman shopping was more exhausting than fighting or treating illnesses.

Leng Han Yan scolded, "Are you still not satisfied? Women naturally shop like this. I rarely go out shopping, and it's not easy to come out once. You should feel honored to accompany such a beautiful woman like me. Anyway, it's getting late. How about you help me pick out an outfit? Let's see how good your taste is."

Hearing this, Lin Chen didn't refuse. He just wanted to finish shopping quickly and go home. He walked around the store and picked out a few pieces of clothing.

All black: black high heels, a short leather skirt, a tank top, a leather jacket, and a black military-style cap.

Lin Chen didn't think much about it; he just felt that Leng Han Yan's aura of keeping others at bay suited black, which was mysterious and alluring. The clothes were also quite well-made, so he chose them.

However, when Leng Han Yan saw the clothes, her expression turned strange, "Lin Chen, do you have a thing for queen role-playing or something?"

Her face turned a bit red as she said this. Without waiting for Lin Chen's response, she took the clothes and walked into the fitting room.

Lin Chen looked at Leng Han Yan's back, speechless. Queen role-playing, what a weird thing. People who come back from abroad really know how to play.

He hadn't really thought about it. But if she felt that way, why did she still try them on? Could she be willing to give him a queen's seduction?

Although he wasn't sure, he was still a bit excited to see how the tall and sexy Leng Han Yan would look in those clothes.

Just as Lin Chen was thinking, a voice filled with surprise and mockery sounded in his ear.

"Lin Chen, what are you doing here?"

Lin Chen turned around and saw someone he didn't really want to see.

Zhang Jing, an employee of Qixing Model Company and Lin Chen's former colleague, was quite pretty and had a good figure.

Lin Chen didn't want to see her because he really disliked her.

She joined the company after Lin Chen. At first, she was an intern and didn't know much, so Lin Chen helped her a lot, and they became quite close.

Lin Chen didn't think much of it, but many people in the company gossiped that they were dating. Lin Chen didn't care since it wasn't true.

However, after she was officially hired, she started dating a rich second-generation and began to act superior. Later, she even publicly said that Lin Chen was just a lowly person who didn't even finish college, and that they could never be together.

Lin Chen didn't have any feelings for her, but thinking about how pitiful she looked during her internship and comparing it to her later arrogant attitude, he felt quite disheartened.

Zhang Jing, however, showed no embarrassment when she saw Lin Chen. She pulled the man beside her over and said, "Dear, this is my former colleague, Lin Chen."

Lin Chen noticed that the man wasn't the same rich second-generation she had dated before, clearly a new one. But it wasn't his business, and he didn't bother to acknowledge them.

The man, about 30 years old, sized up Lin Chen's clothes and snorted a "hmm" from his nose, as if Lin Chen wasn't even worth a word.

Lin Chen thought, "Snobbish people, they really do stick together."

Zhang Jing continued, "Lin Chen, I haven't seen you at work for a few days. Didn't you get fired?"

Her words seemed concerned, but her tone was filled with disdain, "Although the salary wasn't much, you didn't even finish college. What can you do? Go work on a construction site? With your scrawny arms and legs, they probably wouldn't even hire you."

Lin Chen said calmly, "What I do is none of your business. Just mind your own."

"You..."

Zhang Jing, looking as if she had been disrespected, coldly said, "Lin Chen, don't be so ungrateful. People like you can only be a migrant worker. Do you think working in a company makes you a white-collar intellectual? What right do you have to be arrogant! Do you know how much my dear earns in a month? He earns more in a month than you do!"

"Enough. Why waste words on such a person? Look at what he's wearing. It's probably something he bought online for 20 or 30 yuan. Arguing with such a person only makes us look low-class." The man beside her said impatiently.

"Got it, dear."

Zhang Jing put on a meek look, making Lin Chen feel nauseous.

Zhang Jing glanced at Lin Chen with disdain and said to the man, "This person, when I first joined the company, I talked to him a bit more, and he actually thought I liked him. He kept finding excuses to talk to me, how shameless! He should look at himself!"

The man looked at Lin Chen with disdain and said in a condescending tone, "Young man, you need to know your place. Don't think that just because someone is pretty, you can try to hit on them! This society values ability. If you don't have the ability, don't have delusions, or you'll just be laughed at!"

Lin Chen laughed, "I think you've got it wrong. I've never had any thoughts about a woman like her! Even if she stripped and climbed into my bed, I'd kick her out, thinking she's taking up space. A woman who sleeps with anyone who has money, even though I don't have a phobia, I still find her dirty."

Zhang Jing, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, said angrily, "You're talking nonsense! Who's dirty? Who do you think you are? Me climbing into your bed? You, a poor guy? Let me tell you, you'll only end up with some ugly nobody for the rest of your life! A woman like me, you can't even dream of, you scumbag!"

She laughed disdainfully, as if she was certain that Lin Chen would end up with an ugly nobody for the rest of his life.

A clear and gentle voice said, "Oh? This is the first time someone has called me an ugly nobody. How interesting."
