197 Love Trap 5 (2/2)

One day, she will exact her revenge on An Xiaoning!

Chi Rui'er was jolted awake from her afternoon nap by her mobile phone, which rang all of a sudden. She took a look at the caller display to see that it was an unknown number. Thinking that it must be Xu Jingwen, the sales assistant she approached at An Xiaoning's store, Chi Rui'er quickly sat up straight and answered the call.

”Who's speaking?”

”I'm… I'm the girl you gave your number to today. Um, I've given it some consideration and I've decided that I'd like to take up the sideline you offered,” Xu Jingwen answered, sounding a little nervous over the phone.

Chi Rui'er then proceeded to tell her her address, ”Alright, you may come here right away, my address is…”

She took a look at the time and realized that it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Famished, she got out of bed and instructed the servants to prepare dinner at once.

Dinner was ready to be served by the time Xu Jingwen arrived.

”You… you are…” Xu Jingwen stuttered.

”That's right, I'm your employer's sister-in-law. You haven't had dinner, have you? Come, sit down,” Chi Rui'er said with a grin.

”It's okay…” Xu Jingwen no longer suspected that Chi Rui'er was a conman.

”I'll be taking care of your meals, don't worry. Have a seat, we'll chat while we eat. Don't tell your boss I visited the store to get some clothes, though. Otherwise, she's definitely not going to let me pay. Well, I can't take her things for free, even though we're relatives. The clothing sold at Xiaoning's store are just so gorgeous. I offered you this job precisely because I know you work there,” said Chi Rui'er, putting up a warm and friendly front.

”Alright, thank you.” Xu Jingwen began to take a liking towards Chi Rui'er, thinking that the latter seemed to be a nice and friendly person.

”Don't mention it. Dig in, don't stand on ceremony. Having meals with me is part of your job scope too,” Chi Rui'er urged.

Xu Jingwen scanned her surroundings, green with envy towards Chi Rui'er for being able to enjoy the privilege of living in such a luxurious mansion, served by many servants.

Indeed, not everyone can enjoy the benefits of being a wealthy man's wife.

”How long have you been working at Xiaoning's store?”

”Not that long.”

”How much does she pay you each month?” asked Chi Rui'er.

”2500 dollars. Food and accomodation are all provided for. Sis Xiaoning said that I'll be getting a raise in the future.”

”How many hours a day?”

”The hours are not fixed. Sometimes 12, sometimes fewer, eight or nine, perhaps.”

”That's way too long for how little you're getting paid. I have to raise this issue about your salary with her the next time I see her,” said Chi Rui'er, grinning from ear to ear.

”It's not that little actually,” said Xu Jingwen, although deep down, she had begun to waver after hearing Chi Rui'er's words. Compared to the 3000 dollars Chi Rui'er offered for a part-time job, her current salary did seem a little too low.

The initially tense and reserved Xu Jingwen began to let her guard down and ease up after chatting with Chi Rui'er for a while.

Both of them were sizing up and forming impressions of each other.

After some chit-chatting, Chi Rui'er began to find that Xu Jingwen was exactly the person she was looking for.

While they were in the midst of a joyous conversation, Gu Dongcheng returned home.

Xu Jingwen was a little afraid to make eye contact with Gu Dongcheng upon seeing him. The 28-year-old lad was rather good-looking and seemed to be quite the gentleman. He was dressed in an immaculately-tailored suit and appeared to be a little weary and haggard.

”Who's this?” he asked after taking a glance at Xu Jingwen.

”A part-timer I hired to accompany me at home because I'm getting really bored.” Chi Rui'er then introduced, ”This is my husband.”

”Nice to meet you, Mr. Gu,” Xu Jingwen hurriedly greeted.

”Nice to meet you. I've already eaten, I'm going to take a shower,” he said, walking towards the bedroom.

”Alright.”

”Sis Rui'er, you're so lucky,” said Xu Jingwen, filled with envy.

Chi Rui'er chuckled and answered, ”Follow me around and I'll introduce you to a handsome and wealthy boyfriend.”
