Jiao Yushi’s mother suddenly came without making an appointment, which was quite awkward.

Chacha told Ding Puyu, “Take the person to the lounge to wait for a while. The meeting will be postponed for ten minutes.”

Ding Puyu asked to confirm, “Is ten minutes enough?”

Chacha smiled and nodded to reassure him.

Ding Puyu then went out to make arrangements.

Chacha watched him go out and then gave Jiao Yushi a call.

Jiao Yushi answered the phone almost instantly. “Hello, Chacha.”

“Yushi, your mother came to see me.” Chacha asked, “What do you think I should do?”

Jiao Yushi was silent for a moment before saying, “Do as you like.”

Chacha hummed. “Have you had lunch?”

“Yes.” Jiao Yushi said, “Let’s go on a two-day trip during the summer vacation.”

Chacha thought for a moment and said, “Okay. Let’s handle the urgent matters first and then go together.”

Jiao Yushi answered, “Okay.”

Chacha hung up the phone and went to the lounge.

Although Jiao Yushi’s mother was about forty years old, in this era, the average life expectancy has been much longer than before and various maintenance methods were emerging. If one has money, they could invest it on good skin.

Jiao Yushi’s mother might not have much money in the past, but when Jiao Yushi was brought back by the Jiao family, she became rich. She must have spent a lot of effort on maintaining herself and she looked quite spry and young.

There weren’t many wrinkles on her face, but it’s hard to retain that youthful vitality as people got older. She was wearing a brown sweater with a short skirt, no stockings, and black high heels.

There was something pretentious about the way she sat; her back was too straight, her chest was overly protruding, and her chin was held high, making her look a bit arrogant.

Chacha walked over with a smile. “Aunt, what brings you here?”

Ma Xiao looked her up and down, showed a smile and said, “I came to see you. You’re my son’s girlfriend, so of course I have to come and take a look, don’t you think so?”

“En, it makes sense.” Chacha nodded. “However, Yushi and I have only just gotten together. What’s your purpose of looking at me? To see if I’m suitable to marry Yushi?”

Ma Xiao furrowed her brows and said, “What do you mean by your words? You don’t welcome me?”

Chacha smiled and shook her head. “No, no, no, of course I welcome you. If you didn’t come to see me, I would have also come to pay you a visit.”

At this time, the secretary brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chen Chacha. She had already served Ma Xiao tea beforehand.

The secretary quietly glanced at Ma Xiao, then went out to gossip with others.

“Forget it, forget it.” Ma Xiao waved her hand and said, “I’m here today to get to know you. Let me tell you now, our Yushi is an only child and will inherit the family business in the future. Us mother and daughter-in-law—”

“Wait a minute.” Chacha interrupted the other party. “I’m sorry but I need to state in advance that Yushi and I are currently just dating. We’re also young so whether or not we’ll be able to get married is still uncertain.”

Ma Xiao was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“I just want to correct you a bit.” Chacha continued, “Although the Jiao’s are a prominent family, our Chen family doesn’t want your money. Even if there’s no Chen family, I myself can also reach the same level as the Jiao family sooner or later. So, if you want to use your family background to sermon me, I can only ask you to get out.”

Ma Xiao: “……”

“I still have business to attend to, if you don’t have anything else……”

“Hmph.” Ma Xiao snorted coldly. Anyone could tell that Chen Chacha was signaling her to leave, so of course, Ma Xiao could also tell. She was angry and said as she was walking away, “I’m telling you, what’s the point of a girl starting business? When the time comes, you still have to go back and give birth to a child.”

When Chacha escorted the other party out of the lounge and in front of the secretary’s desk, Ma Xiao was still nagging, so Chacha told her secretary, “Help me send this lady out.”

“Yes, President Xiao Cha.” The secretary got up immediately to send out Ma Xiao, who snorted at her.

Secretary: “……” What did I do wrong?

“Tch.” Ma Xiao was annoyed by the secretary’s dumb expression and walked out.

When Ma Xiao came there today, she originally wanted to give Chen Chacha a show of strength, and then make Chen Chacha treat her with respect and be in the same faction as her.

Ma Xiao thought she’s Jiao Yushi’s mother, and as his girlfriend, Chen Chacha would be respectful to her no matter what, but she didn’t expect Chen Chacha to be a thorn in her side.

The lady was Jiao Yushi’s mother after all, so after meeting her, Chacha told Jiao Yushi the content of their conversation.

Jiao Yushi commented, “Well done. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?”

“Okay.”

Summer vacation was quickly approaching. Although it’s a holiday, Chacha didn’t relax because of it. Her social media platform had been launched.

It was named ‘Yunju^[1]Gathering Cloud’.

She had all marketing accounts under her company transferred to Yunju. Naturally, Ning An was the spokesperson of the app. In addition, she also used eloquent words to persuade Gu Fanghua to promote it, which of course, cost a fortune.

In comparison, Ning An’s fee was much cheaper, so she signed her up for a longer period.

Moreover, after deducting Ning An’s salary, half of it would go back to her own pocket.

Of course, in addition to Ning An and Gu Fanghua, the artists under her and Jiao Yushi’s company, large and small, also promoted it. They’re all her own people so they’re cheaper to pay.

With the influx of large users, and after realizing that they could try a hand at becoming Internet celebrities, many people settled on the app.

Because new platforms could easily attract users, it’s always advantageous to be first on the app.

And they could use both platforms. If ever the new platform failed, it wouldn’t harm their main account.

It’s just that it’s tiring to go back and forth.

Chen Chacha’s followers joked that she’s indeed a woman in love, that’s why even the app she created was related to her boyfriend. As after the clouds gather, rain (Yu from Jiao Yushi’s name) would follow.

Chacha smiled but said nothing.

Jiao Yushi liked the comment.

Then someone also expressed that wouldn’t it be awkward if they broke up?

This comment was the second most popular one, only ten likes away from the first.

Jiao Yushi replied to this comment, 【Spreading rumor.】

His response was liked by many and ranked third in the most popular comment.

The comment section became very lively because of Jiao Yushi’s appearance and a lot of people were teasing him.

Jiao Yushi was an aloof person, so after replying once, he closed Weibo and went to find Chen Chacha.

Chacha had to kiss Jiao Yushi several times before he was able to appease him.

Although Jiao Yushi usually pretends to be jealous and angry, most of the time, he was still pretty chill.

He would act clingy once in a while, which was quite cute.

In short, Chacha likes it very much.

However, Jiao Yushi couldn’t stick to Chen Chacha every day even if he wanted to. They were both too busy.

During this period, something happened that Chacha didn’t know whether it should have been a surprise or not.

Mu Qingqing, a former delinquent girl who often skipped classes, after cramming in the final year of high school, emerged as the provincial top scorer with a high score of 728 points.

When Chacha learned the news, she discovered that Mu Qingqing was studying in a key high school, which wasn’t accessible to ordinary students.

Looking at it this way, Mu Qingqing was exactly that kind of genius student. Although she got off track and was rebellious, she could still achieve shocking results after cramming.

Chacha had met a person like this once in her previous world. That sister went crazy playing games and spent all day gaming. In the last semester of her senior year of high school, it was said that her mother tempted her with a top-of-the-line computer and told her to go back to school and study hard.

With little to no effort, she also became a provincial top scorer.

The world of genius was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When Mu Qingqing was interviewed by a reporter, she also mentioned that it was fortunate that she met Chen Chacha, otherwise she would have gone astray and never return to studying. By now she would have gotten zero points and have to repeat a year.

So Chen Chacha incidentally made it to the hot search again.

Afterwards, Mu Qingqing’s parents hosted a banquet at the hotel, and both Chen Chacha and Jiao Yushi attended.

Chacha gifted Mu Qingqing a low-key luxury bag, but as soon as she turned around, the brand was found insulting Chinese people……

She and Mu Qingqing both felt vexed.

Chacha said on Weibo, 【Looking down on our people, while at the same time pretending to love us and making money from us, you’re really good.】

As a result, Chacha came up with the idea of ​​​​creating a domestically produced luxury goods.

Domestic technology was great, but the taste and design was a little behind for the time being, and that aspect could be costly.

While Chacha was handling company affairs, she thought about this issue and called Cheng Yufei.

Cheng Yufei was extremely shocked that Chen Chacha took the initiative to call her. She answered the phone and asked, “What made you call me today?”

“There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.”

“Ah, okay.” Only coming to me since you need something, humph.

Cheng Yufei gave a restaurant name and told Chen Chacha to talk with her over dinner that evening.

Chacha answered, “Alright. Is 7 pm okay?”

———pr

At seven in the evening, Chacha arrived at the restaurant on time and Cheng Yufei was already there.

Chacha didn’t talk about the matter right away, but chatted with Cheng Yufei for a while, making Cheng Yufei laugh happily before telling her the whole thing.

The company under Cheng Yufei also had something like this, but the designs only cater to convenience and were relatively ordinary.

Cheng Yufei was certainly welcomed to the idea.

This was an important matter for building a good relationship with her daughter. Even if this venture fails, it would only cost a little money, which she could afford.

Besides, it would’ve been easier for Chen Chacha to find other business partners, but she only approached her, so she must also want to establish a good relationship with her.

Cheng Yufei soothed herself like this and felt even happier.

After that, Chacha often met with Cheng Yufei to discuss details, draw up contracts, and talk about the company’s development and plans.

A whole summer vacation passed, and neither Chen Chacha nor Jiao Yushi found the time to go on a trip. Time was just like the water in their hands, passing quickly.

School resumed in a blink of an eye.

This time, Chen Chacha and Jiao Yushi could walk to school together.

They were passing by the lake on campus where there’s a row of old trees planted on the edge. It’s the season were leaves were in full bloom, and the sunlight fell on surface of the lake, making it glitter.

Chacha couldn’t help but stop and look at the lake as the wind was blowing.

Jiao Yushi was standing next to her, holding her hand.

He turned his head to look at Chen Chacha. Her skin was almost glowing under the sunlight, and it was so fair that one couldn’t help but wonder if it was as smooth and soft as it looks.

But it also made one afraid that just one touch might break it.

She was gazing at the lake with a faint expression.

The more Jiao Yushi stared at her face, the more fetching it was to his eyes. He couldn’t help but tucked the wind-blown hair behind her ear.

Chacha turned to Jiao Yushi and suddenly asked, “Why on earth am I so busy?”

“Because you have a lot to do.”

Chacha said, “Initially, I just wanted to make a little money and run away.”

“Run away?”

She slipped up……
