Chapter 242 Extra Chapter 2: She Transmigrated into a Book but Didn't Cure the Illness (2)

"Hey, why haven't you eaten?"

A girl's clear and sweet voice rang out from the doorway, and the man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened them.

Being stared at by a man's cold, deep eyes would probably make anyone else feel guilty or nervous.

Qin Su seemed oblivious, carrying several oil paper packages as she walked lightly toward him: "What's wrong? Is it because these dishes don't suit your taste?"

Seeing the food left cold, she didn't seem angry; she just looked down at it with some curiosity.

Chu Jiang coldly stared at the girl's vibrant face, and had a vague illusion—the moment she walked in, the originally dark and gloomy room suddenly lit up.

"How about it, do I look good?"

The girl suddenly leaned closer, her affectionate, smiling eyes gazing at him as if she were deeply in love with him.

The man, who remained unfazed while galloping across the battlefield, paused slightly in his breathing.

Then he closed his eyes again and let out an unknown, cold laugh.

Qin Su clicked her tongue inwardly, thinking, "What a boring guy."

"Fine, I'm in a good mood, so I won't hold it against you."

She moved the dishes on the table aside and opened the oil paper package in her hand: "I bought these steamed buns on the way. Would you like to try some? They're hot."

As she spoke, she wrapped the handkerchief in her handkerchief and held it to the man's lips, her manner gentle and considerate.

Chu Jiang turned his face slightly away, his sharp eyes fixed on her: "In a good mood? Why?"

Qin Su was somewhat surprised that this person would take the initiative to care about her today.

However, she didn't keep them in suspense, and said with a smile, "I've successfully closed a deal, and now I'll be making money. Of course I'm happy."

As she spoke, the girl's eyes shone brightly, her smile radiant with confidence, and the light emanating from her almost burned his eyes.

"Talk about business."

Although it was only three words, the disdain in the words was obvious.

Among the four classes of people—scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—merchants were the lowest in social standing.

In the eyes of those in power, it is even less worth mentioning.

"Are you that short of money?"

"Of course."

Seemingly oblivious to the man's disdain, Qin Su declared confidently, "I need to make a living, so of course I need to find a job that can support me."

She held out her slender, fair fingers and waved them in front of the man, then tapped her head: "I know a little embroidery, but it's too hard work, I don't want to torture myself. Besides, I'm so smart, as long as I'm diligent, I won't starve just by selling ideas."

The girl's smile was sweet, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be forever full of vitality.

She wouldn't be defeated by anything, and naturally, she wouldn't be hurt by his words.

Chu Jiang could have used even harsher words to mock her, but he said nothing, only let out a "heh" and closed his eyes.

That attitude is just asking for a beating!
Qin Su was a little unhappy and was about to say something.

The young man lowered his eyelashes, and his sharp, arrogant eyebrows seemed to relax, losing their aggressiveness and becoming more casual and relaxed, making people involuntarily attracted by his stunningly beautiful face.

Her heart suddenly softened.

With a face like that, it wouldn't be unacceptable if her temper were ten times worse.

"Hey, don't be angry. I'm earning money for our future life."

She couldn't help but try to comfort him: "For example, this room is so small, it must be so uncomfortable for you living here. It breaks my heart to see you like this. When I make money, the first thing I'll do is get you a bigger house..."

Chu Jiang suddenly opened his eyes and sneered at her: "Isn't the money I gave you enough?" Qin Su's mouth opened slightly, then she choked.

If we're just talking about buying a house and servants, the money he provides is definitely more than enough, but...

“You can’t calculate it like that,” the girl’s eyes darted around. “I’ve used the money you gave me to ‘invest.’ You’ll understand when I collect the money in a while.”

"Investment?" Chu Jiang opened his eyes, his tone dangerous. "You went to lend money at exorbitant interest rates?"

"Of course not, I..."

Just as Qin Su was about to say something, she heard a knock on the door.

"I'll go out and take a look. You should eat it while it's hot, don't go hungry."

After she finished speaking, whether intentionally or out of genuine anxiety, she quickly ran out.

Qin Su opened the door and found it was a waiter from the restaurant who had come to deliver a gift and apologize on behalf of the young master: "The young master encountered some wicked people and suffered some misfortune. He is currently seeing a doctor at the clinic. He specifically sent me to apologize to you, young lady."

"Young Master Bai, did you encounter some villains? How badly are you injured? Have you reported it to the authorities?"

Chu Jiang had excellent hearing, and even in a courtyard with only one entrance, he clearly heard the girl's anxious and concerned words.

His face turned ugly, especially when he heard her suggest visiting another day; an inexplicable anger welled up in his chest.

"Do you act like this with everyone?"

When Qin Su returned with the gift, she was met with the man's cold, questioning face.

She was taken aback: "What?"

Chu Jiang stared at her coldly, his tone particularly venomous: "Flirtatious, despicable, and shameless."

Qin Su's face turned deathly pale, all color drained from her, and her fingers gripped the thin rope tightly, as if she were trying her best to suppress her anger.

Just when Chu Jiang thought she was going to get angry, she suddenly smiled and said, "You're right, that's just the kind of person I am. As long as someone is useful to me, I'll treat them very, very well."

She tilted her head slightly: "Aren't you one of them too?"

She still had that gentle, smiling look on her face, but anyone could tell she was angry.

Chu Jiang's face instantly darkened, and he seemed to exude a terrifying killing intent, sharp and cold, as if he were about to strike and hurt someone at any moment.

Qin Su regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, because she remembered the scene of this person killing someone.

But what's said can't be taken back.

She glanced at him with feigned composure, then turned and left.

Only he knew how stiff his body was when he passed away.

Unbeknownst to her, as she left, a dark shadow landed lightly on the eaves: "Master."

Liu Ying stared intently at the ground, not daring to move an inch.

He thought it was strange enough that His Highness suddenly ordered him to beat up a young master at a restaurant, but he actually witnessed this scene in his lifetime.

No, if it were anyone else today, His Highness would have made her bleed on the spot the moment she uttered her first words!

But this time, His Highness tolerated her getting so close, and didn't retaliate even when she was mocked. His good temper was astonishing.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a "bang" and the man smashed a hole through the small table with his fist.

Liu Ying: ...Maybe I should just die first.
-
Just as Qin Su was about to return to her room, she heard a loud bang behind her, and she stopped abruptly in her tracks.

When she returned to the room and found that no one had chased after her, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down: "You dog of a man, what kind of person are you, daring to talk to me like that! What kind of good person do you think you are, just bullying me because I'm weak and helpless, ptooey! If I look at you again, I'll write my name Qin Su backwards!"

She kept cursing and swearing, but her voice grew softer and softer while her pace quickened.

She rushed back to her room, and as the door slammed shut, she clutched her chest, gasping for breath.

Waaaaah, what a jerk of a man! He scared her to death!
Moving, moving tomorrow!
