Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me
Chapter 22 Take it all away
At the dinner table, Widow Liu continued to cry and laugh for quite some time.
Her tears ruined her eye makeup.
She herself was unaware of this situation, and even picked up her wine glass and took a small sip.
Seeing her like that, Chen Yuanbao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't wipe your face quickly, people might really think I did something to you when we go out later."
As soon as Widow Liu heard the noise, she quickly took out her small mirror to look at herself.
At the sound of her call, her face was covered in patches of black and white, like a tabby cat.
She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe it off, muttering, "How am I supposed to face anyone now...?"
Chen Yuanbao casually said to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, even if you smear soot from the bottom of a pot on your face, you'll still look good."
When Widow Liu was wiping her face, her hand paused for a moment, and her cheeks immediately turned bright red.
She said in a reproachful tone, "You little rascal, when did you start learning to use that smooth talk? You used to just grin like an idiot all the time!"
The past and the present are very different.
Chen Yuanbao picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it in Widow Liu's bowl.
He said, "Come on, sister-in-law, eat more. Look how thin you've become over the years."
Widow Liu lowered her head and picked up a piece of braised pork.
She took a bite, and the oil spread in her mouth. She squinted her eyes, her face full of satisfaction.
These days... feel like a dream.
Two people went out for a meal together, which took about two hours.
Most of the dishes on the table were gone.
Chen Yuanbao asked the waiter to pack up the remaining dishes, saying he would take them home for breakfast the next day.
While packing the food, the waiter secretly glanced at Chen Yuanbao, thinking that the young man was good-looking and generous, but the lady next to him seemed a bit old.
After paying the bill, Chen Yuanbao spent a total of over 800 yuan.
Previously, 800 yuan could feed him for more than half a year, but now he doesn't even blink an eye at it.
After leaving the restaurant, it was already dark, but the streetlights in the town were still on, and the small shops on both sides of the street were also lit up.
"Sister-in-law, we need to do something." Chen Yuan-bao pulled Widow Liu to the front.
"What are you doing?" Widow Liu asked curiously.
"Rent a car," Chen Yuanbao said. "We can't take the bus back; we need to be more presentable."
"Rent a car?" Widow Liu's eyes lit up, then she shook her head and said, "Yuanbao, that's too wasteful. Let's take the bus back; it's not far."
Chen Yuanbao stopped and looked at Widow Liu earnestly, saying, "Sister-in-law, listen to me. Today we're going back to show the villagers what they used to think of as a fool has become."
After hearing his words, Widow Liu paused for a moment, then nodded.
She understood what Chen Yuanbao meant: to return home in glory and finally feel triumphant.
She was still full of resentment when she received the disdain in the village back then.
"Okay, whatever you say goes!" Widow Liu gritted her teeth and went all out.
Chen Yuanbao found a taxi company in town and rented a black sedan. Although it wasn't a luxury car, it was much better than a regular taxi.
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. Seeing Chen Yuanbao's lavish spending, he became very talkative throughout the journey, trying to establish a connection with Chen Yuanbao: "Boss, where are you going?"
"Sanshui Village." Chen Yuanbao sat in the back row, legs crossed, one hand resting on the back of Widow Liu's chair.
"Sanshui Village? I know that place, it's very poor... Boss, do you have any business there?" the driver asked, puzzled.
"I'm not going to do business anymore, I'm going home," Chen Yuanbao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the driver almost swerved the steering wheel. Looking at Chen Yuanbao in the rearview mirror, he thought to himself, "Such a respectable boss is actually from Sanshui Village."
Widow Liu sat to the side watching Chen Yuanbao's pretentious act and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you," Widow Liu said softly. "When did that silly Yuanbao learn to put on airs like this?"
"Sister-in-law, this isn't putting on airs, it's about presence," Chen Yuanbao said earnestly. "You can't be too weak. You need to make people feel that you're not someone to mess with, so that no one will bully us."
Widow Liu thought about it and agreed, so she nodded and straightened her back slightly, just like Chen Yuanbao.
The car kept driving, and after about half an hour we arrived at the entrance of Sanshui Village.
After Chen Yuanbao had the driver park the car next to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, he got out of the car and took the items off the vehicle one by one.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, the time when villagers would come out for a stroll and enjoy the cool air after dinner. Under the old locust tree, seven or eight villagers were already gathered, eating sunflower seeds and chatting.
A black sedan parked at the entrance of the village was eye-catching enough in itself.
The villagers craned their necks to look in this direction, eager to know who it was.
"Huh? Isn't that the idiot? No, isn't it Chen Yuanbao?" A sharp-eyed old lady exclaimed first.
"Is that so? That poor, penniless boy, Chen Yuanbao?"
"Look for yourself, are there any fakes left?"
A group of people stood up and gathered at a distance, watching Chen Yuanbao.
Chen Yuanbao ignored them and took out seven or eight bags of various sizes from the car. The most eye-catching one was a purple shopping bag with a big brand logo. He handed that bag to Widow Liu.
"Sister-in-law, you carry this, I'll carry the others."
Widow Liu took the bag. It was heavy and contained cosmetics and a dress. Holding the bag in one hand, she unconsciously tidied her hair with the other.
Chen Yuanbao gave the driver another hundred yuan as a tip. The driver was so happy that he couldn't speak. He kept telling Chen Yuanbao, "Boss, if you need a car in the future, just ask me." Then he drove away.
Chen Yuanbao was carrying a lot of things and walked into the village one after the other with Widow Liu.
The purple shopping bag stood out under the dim streetlights, almost drawing the villagers' attention.
"Oh my, I recognize the words on that bag. It's a brand that you only find in the biggest department store in the provincial capital..." an old woman who had just returned from her daughter's home in the provincial capital said in a low voice.
"Is it true? How much does one of those things cost?"
"I heard a single bottle of face cream costs several thousand!"
"My God..."
Chen Yuanbao could hear the chattering in the village clearly. A smile played on his lips as he deliberately slowed his pace, letting the villagers see for themselves.
Widow Liu followed him. This was the first time she had been looked at so glamorously, so her back straightened involuntarily.
