Chapter 917: Language Barrier. Corinton’s Here
Chen Xinyi ran downstairs like she was flying.
Downstairs, Chen Zhenchuan was still chatting with his business partners and acquaintances.
“Heh, Xinyi, look—”
Carrying the giant teddy bear all the way back, Zhang Shaofeng was going to show it off to Chen Xinyi but just as he raised it on display, the girl had gone around him to dash in front of Ling Yichen.
“Wow, you actually bought ten candied fruit skewers for me? Awesome! I’m super happy!” Chen Xinyi grabbed the candied fruit skewers from Ling Yichen excitedly. It was obvious from her expression that she was extremely delighted right now.
Zhang Shaofeng held the teddy bear as he watched Chen Xinyi peel the wrapper off one of the candied fruit skewers and sink her teeth into it.
Polishing one off, Chen Xinyi suddenly turned to ask Yun Jian, “Jianjian, do you want some?”
“I’ve already had them.” Yun Jian smiled.
“More for me!” Chen Xinyi said waving the sweet treat in her hand and took bite after bite.
The corners of Zhang Shaofeng’s lips twitched. Did he… just get ignored?
In order to regain his sense of presence from Chen Xinyi, Zhang Shaofeng got smart and continued to say, “Yun Jian won this giant teddy for you by throwing darts just now…”
“Wow, Jianjian’s amazing! Give me, give me!” Chen Xinyi exclaimed. She even put away the candied fruits skewer that was still in her mouth and rushed over to grab the large stuffed toy from Zhang Shaofeng.
“My Jianjian is the best!” Chen Xinyi complimented loudly.
Zhang Shoafeng, who stood by the side, had no tears to cry. He was speechless. Why was his presence so easily dismissed by Chen Xinyi?
“You guys are all back? Come and have some fruit. Xinyi, ask your friends here for some fruits. I’ve just cut them. They’re very fresh.” He Shiya was coming out from the kitchen with a big plate of pineapple and strawberries when she saw that Yun Jian and others were back.
“Okay!” Chen Xinyi answered and led her friends to her mother.
He Shiya was all prepared aside from serving Yun Jian and friends. It was not just the teenagers she had to serve, she had to keep the hospitality running for Chen Zhenchuan’s friends in the business sphere too.
“Jianjian, try this. These are all natural strawberries my mom planted in her garden!” As Chen Xinyi led them over, she spoke holding up a big and red strawberry to Yun Jian.
Yun Jian smiled and accepted it, pa.s.sing it to Si Yi. “You have it first.”
Si Yi would eat the strawberry even if he did not like it because Yun Jian was the one giving it to him. Nonetheless, he quite liked fruits, so he accepted the strawberry offered from Yun Jian.
“Jianjian, help yourselves. Don’t be shy!” Chen Xinyi said aloud before chomping down on the candied fruit skewer in her hand happily.
“Excuse me, who are you looking for? You can’t enter! You…” The voice of the door guard at Chen Xinyi’s house sounded outside the door.
Before long, the door was opened.
“I’m going in for someone. I’ll be out in a minute!” a voice said in an American accent. The man who came in was tall and st.u.r.dy, towering over 1.9 meters tall. He spoke in fluent English as he barged in regardless of being stopped.
The poor guard could not even communicate with the person nor could he stop him.
When Yun Jian saw the person, however, there was a flash of twinkle in her eyes. Corinton? Did he get here so fast?
