170: The world is big, but eating is the most important

Just like that, Pei Yunxi returned to the police car, detaining the few punks as she headed toward the police station.

Jiang Che, meanwhile, drove the ferrari LaFerrari, following behind at a leisurely pace.

Chen Xuewei sat upright in the passenger seat, her fair, tender legs pressed together. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Her long, delicate eyelashes fluttered gently, and her bright, intelligent eyes darted around incessantly. She looked both curious and afraid to look too much—a mix of cute and comical.

Melodious music, accompanied by a rhythmic beat, slowly began to play, filling the entire space with a joyful atmosphere.

Chen Xuewei subconsciously closed her beautiful eyes to immerse herself in the music, and the sorrow between her brows faded slightly.

A moment later, Chen Xuewei reopened her eyes and said, pleasantly surprised.

"Senior, do you also really like listening to Ni Chang, my wife's songs?"

"Ni Chang, your wife?"

Seeing Jiang Che's slightly surprised gaze, Chen Xuewei realized her slip of the tongue. Her pretty face flushed, and she explained in a soft, sweet voice.

"Um... actually, I'm a loyal fan of the Diva Yun Nishang..."

"Hehe, you could also say I'm one of her 'wife fans'..."

"I absolutely love all of her songs!"

After hearing Chen Xuewei's explanation, Jiang Che suddenly understood and casually agreed.

"That's right, I often listen to her songs too. They are indeed quite good."

Things like 'wife fans' and 'husband fans' are simply too common in the entertainment industry; they are seen everywhere.

Some girls, because they really like a certain female star, often identify themselves as 'wife fans', and Chen Xuewei is one such case.

Yun Nishang is currently the hottest singing Diva in the Dragon Kingdom, with countless fans; she is truly famous throughout the land.

Jiang Che hadn't listened to many of this woman's songs, but he was very clear about her identity.

Yun Nishang is one of the six Junior Sisters of his sister, Jiang Wantang, and one of the seven Senior Sisters of the descending mad Dragon, Lin Yi. She comes from a certain Family in the Imperial Capital.

"Really?"

"Then which song of Fairy Ni Chang does Senior like the most?"

"Hehe, my favorite is her song 'white moonlight and Cinnabar Mole'..."

"What a coincidence, me too..."

Jiang Che continued to nod in agreement, though he felt rather strange inside.

If he remembered correctly, this song should have been an original hit from the world he lived in during his previous life. How could it appear in this Fusion novel world?

If Yun Nishang hadn't awakened some sort of Singing God System, then there must be some Transmigration copycat writer...

However, Yun Nishang was currently on a national concert tour and wasn't in Linjiang, so thinking too much was useless.

Jiang Che couldn't be bothered to delve into it and continued chatting with Chen Xuewei intermittently.

With Yun Nishang as a conversation starter, the atmosphere was no longer as stifling as before.

...

After arriving at the police station, Chen Xuewei went to give a statement, while Jiang Che took out his phone to chat with his several beautiful wives and concubines, maintaining their relationships.

This is the only downside to having many women; just replying to messages, maintaining relationships, and chatting takes up so much time.

By the time he finished chatting with his wives, it was getting dark, and Chen Xuewei had finished her statement.

"Senior Jiang, let's go..."

"I really troubled you today; let me treat you to a meal."

Chen Xuewei pursed her luscious red lips and spoke with some embarrassment.

Jiang Che was the boyfriend of her new roommate, Liu Mengxi, yet here he was, busy helping her around. What kind of situation was this...

Was she being too unfair to Mengxi by doing this?

No, no, she and Senior Jiang didn't have anything going on; it was just a normal interaction between ordinary friends. How could she be wronging Mengxi?

Right, that's it!

"Alright, then I'll have to really make you pay for a big meal today."

Jiang Che joked, not refusing.

Eating is one of the fastest ways to close the distance between people, so Jiang Che naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Hehe... it would be my honor!"

Chen Xuewei smiled bashfully, looking a bit shy.

After all, this was her first time eating alone with a boy.

After leaving the police station, under Chen Xuewei's guidance, Jiang Che returned to the university town and stopped the car in front of a barbecue stall.

"Senior Jiang, the barbecue here is super delicious!"

After getting out of the car, Chen Xuewei looked excited, the sorrow between her brows completely gone, her face beaming with joy.

For a foodie, what could be more important than delicious food?

Let all the troubles go to hell; heaven and earth are vast, but eating is paramount!

After picking a seat, Chen Xuewei ordered fifty skewers of lamb in one go, along with some chicken and seafood like scallops.

Tilting her little head, Chen Xuewei looked at Jiang Che, who was sitting opposite her.

"Senior Jiang, do you drink beer?"

"Let's have two bottles..."

Jiang Che didn't think much of it; if you don't drink a little beer while eating barbecue, it always feels like something is missing.

"Boss, one more case of Tsingtao Pure Draft, make sure it's iced."

After ordering the drinks, Chen Xuewei seemed to suddenly think of something; she reacted abruptly and asked vaguely.

"Senior Jiang, do you usually like eating barbecue?"

At this moment, Chen Xuewei felt somewhat awkward, deeply embarrassed, and a bit ashamed.

She had heard Liu Mengxi mention Jiang Che's status before and knew he was the CEO of a company worth hundreds of billions.

Such a person had done her a favor, yet she brought him to eat this kind of tacky barbecue; wasn't that a bit inappropriate?

At the very least, they should go to some high-end, luxurious restaurant, right?

She had been too careless...

"It's alright. I'm not a picky eater, and I'm not as detached from worldly affairs as you imagine."

Jiang Che saw through Chen Xuewei's thoughts at a glance and shook his head with a smile.

After eating too many delicacies, it's quite nice to change things up occasionally.

Just like how after eating too many big meat buns, it's nice to occasionally eat some Wangzai small buns, right?

"Hehe..."

Chen Xuewei smiled bashfully. With her thoughts seen through, the Sweet Girl Female Protagonist couldn't help but feel a bit shy.

Once all the barbecue was served, the two began to feast, drinking together and chatting happily.

Meanwhile, in a corner not far away, Lin Tian, who had disguised himself again, watched all of this with a cold expression. His eyes were gloomy, his face extremely dark, and his features slightly distorted. He slammed a heavy punch into the wall beside him.

Damn it!

The hatred in Lin Tian's heart was immense!

If it weren't for this idiot rich second-generation Jiang Che suddenly jumping out to spoil things, the one chatting and laughing with Chen Xuewei right now should have been him!

It was so infuriating!

Glaring coldly at Jiang Che, Lin Tian turned and left unwillingly, planning to find a bar to drown his sorrows and vent the pent-up frustration in his heart.

The meat that was about to reach his mouth had flown away just like that. Although he wished he could cut Jiang Che into a thousand pieces, Lin Tian was completely helpless.

The bodyguard team around Jiang Che was too powerful; one of them even had a cultivation level above his, which was simply not something he could contend with right now.

Even though he was extremely frustrated inside, he could only swallow his anger.

Noticing Lin Tian's departure, Jiang Che chuckled inwardly and beckoned to Da Ma Hou not far away, handing him a vacuum-sealed bag of unknown powder.

"The plan begins; go notify Bai Huamei."
