The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 355 Legendary Story
"It should be almost time, right?" Cicely asked as she put on makeup in front of the mirror.

"Fifteen minutes left!"

"Ah!" Cicely cried out softly, feeling her body getting tighter and tighter.

Behind her was the maid, who had just arrived in Chicago, helping her put on her corset and waist.

"I feel like I'm suffocating! I can't breathe!" Cicely said hurriedly.

"It will be ready soon, miss!" said the maid behind Cicely.

"Okay, Miss, take a deep breath!"

Cicely kept taking deep breaths, but breathing was still a little difficult, and it took a long time before she felt better!
If you've ever seen a lady during this period, you'll know why they often pass out when an accident happens... because they literally can't breathe.

After a moment, Cicely put on her long gloves and looked in the mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong with her appearance. But then she felt that she shouldn't be so serious.

After all, this was not a formal dinner.

But she didn't want to be rude to the Chinese man.

"I am different from that barbaric Chinese! I need to maintain etiquette at all times!" Cecily said softly, and then went out accompanied by the maid.

"You are very beautiful now, miss! But I have to remind you that you'd better not get too close to him!" The bodyguard reminded Cicely who was dressed up.

"It's just etiquette. I can't go to dinner in casual clothes!" said Cecily.

A moment later, she saw Chen Zhengwei in the restaurant, wearing a red suit...sitting on a chair and talking to someone next to him.

This outfit looks a little better than his pink outfit.

At least it doesn't look so frivolous.

But to her disappointment, Chen Zhengwei still did not behave like a gentleman at all. After seeing her, he did not even stand up. He just waved his hand and asked his subordinate to leave.

"Good evening!" After Cicely Dupont sat down, the maid and bodyguards retreated to a distance.

"Good evening, you look very...delicious now!" Chen Zhengwei's eyes moved over Cicely Dupont's chest.

"Sir, I think you need to be a little more gentlemanly!" Cicely Dupont knocked on the table helplessly.

She had never met someone as unscrupulous as Chen Zhengwei before.

But she felt a little excited inside... the person in front of her was full of violent savagery and aggressiveness, which was completely different from her world.

"Then let me put it another way... You look like love now!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

Anyway, Chen Zhengwei believes that love is when two people blend in perfectly, become inseparable, and complement each other...

almost.

However, Chen Zhengwei's words made Cicely DuPont's heart beat violently.

Chen Zhengwei signaled the waiter to bring the dinner and casually asked, "Are you still in college?"

"Yes, Visar College!" Cicely Dupont said after she calmed down.

"Seven Sisters College? I've heard of it! But I thought you would study at a comprehensive university... I saw two young men among your friends that day!" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows.

Vidal College is one of the most prestigious all-girls colleges in the United States.

“I went to a comprehensive school for a while in secondary school, in New York!”

"Moreover, most comprehensive colleges nowadays do not recruit female students. In their opinion, women are not suitable for complex or masculine research and should be good housewives! Everything a woman learns in school is only to improve her personal qualities and to be a better housewife!" Cicely Dupont said.

Although she tried her best to control her tone, Chen Zhengwei could still hear the complaint in her voice.

"This is the current social environment! Unless you have the power to break it!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"It sounds inspiring, but that's almost impossible!" Cicely Dupont didn't want to continue talking about this topic. The rules of society cannot be broken by individual power.

"Nothing is impossible! You don't think that the Chinese are treated well in the United States, and those rude Irish people will be kind? They will use foul language and sticks to express their attitude!" Chen Zhengwei sneered:

"But now everyone who sees me has to hide their feelings and respectfully call me sir!"

Cicely Dupont was stunned for a moment, as if she heard something from Chen Zhengwei's words.

She really hadn't thought about this question.

Plus Chen Zhengwei's views on barbarism...

The man's current status was obviously paved with blood.

"Are you telling me that I should resist the rules?" Cicely Dupont looked at Chen Zhengwei with her eyes rolling, and her gaze suddenly became bright.

Yes, no one ever told her that she should rebel against the rules.

Including her parents, they always told her to follow the rules before she was allowed to get something.

"Why not?" Chen Zhengwei said meaningfully with a hint of temptation.

He didn't care at all whether Cicely Dupont would rebel against the rules or what would happen to her.

He just wanted to have a deeper communication.

Instead, Cicely Dupont was very interested and asked, "Can you tell me your story?"

"When I was 18, I didn't have a penny!" Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and laughed, "Just like those people out there! No money for the next meal after the last one... Sorry, I didn't even have the last meal!"

"Really? You don't look that old now!" Cicely Dupont exclaimed, while wondering in her mind how old Chen Zhengwei was now.

Looks like, twenty years old at most?

But here he was, in the fanciest hotel in Chicago, having dinner with himself, with hundreds of his men.

And this hotel is his property.

I heard he has a lot of businesses in San Francisco!
No one can deny that Chen Zhengwei is very rich and is a real tycoon.

Chen Zhengwei continued to make up stories.

"Then I borrowed money to buy a decent set of clothes. I still remember that it cost a total of 3 US dollars. Then I found a wealthy Chinese man and told him that I was worth investing in. If I lost, it would only be a few hundred dollars, and if I won, it would be thousands of dollars! He didn't know me, but my eloquence and confidence convinced him, and he was willing to give me a chance!"

"Then I went to do Fan Tan, which is an old gambling game. I rented a house and put all my money into it, and then someone told me, you can't do this. This is our territory!"

"The other party is very powerful, with more than a hundred subordinates... They are rampant, bullying men and women, and even walking sideways..." Chen Zhengwei paused for a moment.

"And then?" Cicely Dupont asked. She was attracted by Chen Zhengwei's story.

She felt like she was listening to a legendary story. "Then I visited him with gifts, but they still disagreed and humiliated me. Then I killed their leader!" Chen Zhengwei said lightly.

Chen Zhengwei is a victim and he was forced into a desperate situation.

Yes, that's right!
Cicely Dupont covered her mouth with her hands, a look of surprise on her face, but that was exactly what the man in front of her would do.

"Then the land became mine, and my business started to grow!"

"At that time, the Irish had a very bad attitude towards the Chinese. In fact, it was not just the Irish, but the entire San Francisco was full of discrimination and various restrictions against the Chinese!"

"Everyone looks at us with tinted glasses. We can only live in Chinatown and cannot own land. We are not allowed to touch many industries. Landlords refuse to rent houses to us. The investigation bureau comes to our factory every few days to cause trouble. Even some people were attacked and killed on the streets, and no one cared..."

"I think this is very unfair. The world needs fairness... Since society doesn't give me fairness, I will get it with my own hands..." Chen Zhengwei said some things half-truthfully. He glorified his conflicts with the Irish, his friendship with the Germans, and his cooperation with the Jews and Italians.

In his words, he is always forced to fight back.

Or, that's how he remembered it.

These things were things Cicely DuPont had never heard of or come into contact with before.

In particular, the experiences of Chinese people were more severe and cruel than the oppression suffered by American women, which made her full of sympathy.

"Now in San Francisco, they call me China Chen behind my back, but they have to be respectful and call me Mr. Chen to my face. Whether they are bankers, mining tycoons, or politicians..."

"There are tens of thousands of people working for me. You have to know that San Francisco has a total population of only more than 200,000 people."

"You see, everything is so simple! Fighting against all rules and constraints is not as difficult as you think." At last, Chen Zhengwei said with a relaxed and casual look.

"No, it's not simple! You are a legend!" Cicely DuPont said to Chen Zhengwei seriously.

"Maybe someone will write a novel based on me in the future!" Chen Zhengwei laughed, thinking that he could find someone to write a novel for him and make it into a movie.

The two chatted while eating, and after dinner they drank some wine. Chen Zhengwei told his men to have the band play, and then he extended his hand to Cicely Dupont: "Want to dance?"

“I’m a great dancer!”

"Really?" Cicely Dupont asked with a smile, her eyes curved, and she stretched out her hand.

She was indeed somewhat fascinated by this Chinese man.

Chen Zhengwei's experiences are simply legendary, and his aggressiveness like fire is very charming.

Especially for a rich girl who spent most of her time in an all-girls school.

If it were someone else, she might question the truth of the story, but Chen Zhengwei... everything he has now makes it impossible to question him.

Cicely DuPont was led by Chen Zhengwei to the open space near the band in the restaurant. Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand and pulled Cicely DuPont into his arms, and then she danced gracefully under Chen Zhengwei's guidance.

"Wow!" Cicely Dupont exclaimed. This guy's dancing skills were truly amazing. She felt like a butterfly and had never been so light before.

Especially amidst the soft music, she didn't even notice that their movements gradually slowed down.

Then Chen Zhengwei lowered his head and approached her. Cicely Dupont could smell the smell of tobacco and the strong scent of male hormones, which made her panic, but her body was completely stiff and she couldn't move. In the end, she could only close her eyes as if to escape.

Or are you also looking forward to it?

Anyway, she completely forgot the bodyguard captain's reminder to her.

Then she felt the other person's lips pressed against hers, and the strong aggressiveness almost suffocated her.

But she didn't see that when the two of them slowed down and Chen Zhengwei's face approached, her bodyguard captain suddenly stood up in the distance.

But he was immediately pinned down by two people.

"Our boss doesn't like being disturbed." The two Chinese youths looked at Cicely Dupont's bodyguard captain with a half-smile.

After a long time, Cicely DuPont finally mustered up the strength to push Chen Zhengwei away and took a deep breath.

She felt like she was suffocating.

I almost suffocated to death.

"How do you feel?" Chen Zhengwei asked with a smile.

"I don't know... I need to calm down!" Cicely Dupont grabbed Chen Zhengwei's arm, not sure if she was trying to push him away or if she was a little unsteady and needed something to hold on to.

"You should have a glass of wine to calm down!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile, then snapped his fingers at the waiter beside him.

Motioned for them to bring a glass of wine.

Strong liquor!

"Miss!" Although the bodyguard captain was blocked at a distance, he still reminded loudly at this time.

Hearing this voice, Cicely Dupont seemed to sober up a little, let go of Chen Zhengwei's arm, and said in a panic: "Thank you for the dinner!"

"I can't breathe now, I need to go back and rest!"

Although she was full of girlish fantasies about love, this happened too fast for her.

And she hadn't thought it through.

At this time, applause rang out. The guests in the restaurant applauded the two people's dance and gave them kind smiles.

Chen Zhengwei smiled at everyone, then signaled to his men to let go of the other party's bodyguards.

Watching Cicely Dupont enter the elevator accompanied by her maid and bodyguard, Chen Zhengwei smiled and said to the henchman beside him without any strange expression: "Find a chance to give her bodyguard an accident!"

"Boss, she has four bodyguards!" Ma Zai reminded.

"Then let the four bodyguards get into an accident together!" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly, "You need to exercise your subjective initiative and not wait for my orders for everything. How can you get promoted like this?"

……

"Miss, you shouldn't get too close to him." The bodyguard captain said to Cicely Dupont in the elevator with a serious face.

You have to know that the DuPont family mostly marries close relatives, and top families also attach great importance to chastity.

Therefore, the bodyguard captain has a very important responsibility.

"Don't talk yet, I need some quiet time!" Cicely took deep breaths, but her heart was filled with joy.

It was as if there was a little deer, making her heart beat wildly.

Seeing Cicely's expression, the captain of the bodyguards looked even more serious. He felt that he should send a telegram to inform Cicely's father.
