Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 69: A Girl Changes Greatly By Eighteen

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: A Girl Changes Greatly By Eighteen

As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei scanned her from top to bottom.

The woman was undeniably beautiful. She was about 170 centimeters tall, dressed in a pure white knitted mesh top and light-black slacks. With her large breasts, rounded bottom, white high heels, and a cascade of fiery red wavy hair, she was a true stunner, both beautiful and striking.

However, she looked completely unfamiliar. Chen Xiaobei had no memory of ever seeing her before.

At that moment, the woman held a large pile of gift boxes in one hand while lightly covering her mouth with the other as she teased, "Chen Xiaobei, do you really not remember me?"

"Think harder!"

"Ugh—" Chen Xiaobei was at a complete loss. "Miss, I really can’t recall. Who are you?"

"Tsk, you’re no fun at all!" She rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaobei and huffed, "Qiu Xingcai. Surely you remember now, right?"

"What? You’re Qiu Xingcai?!"

Chen Xiaobei nearly collapsed.

Of course, he was familiar with the name Qiu Xingcai. She had been his deskmate in junior high. However, the Qiu Xingcai from back then had been fat, short, and dark-skinned—a complete tomboy. She even had a notorious nickname in their class: Tofei Yuan!

Thinking back, Qiu Xingcai had even written him a love letter, but he had rejected her on the spot because he found her too unattractive, even saying some very hurtful things. Chen Xiaobei had always felt guilty about that incident. However, he had been too proud in his youth, and by the time he gathered the courage to apologize to her, everyone had already graduated.

But who could have imagined that after just a few years, the tomboy would transform into a princess? And such a beautiful one at that!

Staring at his gorgeous old deskmate, Chen Xiaobei felt incredibly awkward.

And it was strange, too. Qiu Xingcai used to have a flat, round face, so how did it become oval-shaped? There’s no way losing weight could do that! It was certain she’d had plastic surgery, and very successful surgery at that.

Scratching his head, Chen Xiaobei said awkwardly, "I never would have guessed it was you. A girl really does change a lot as she grows up!"

"Hmph! Quite the smooth talker, aren’t you?" Qiu Xingcai rolled her eyes at him again, teasing, "Tell me, Chen Xiaobei, if I had confessed to you back then looking like I do now, you wouldn’t have humiliated me, would you?"

Just what he was afraid of. Chen Xiaobei almost choked and said apologetically, "COUGH, COUGH, old deskmate, I was young and immature back then. Please don’t take it to heart!"

"I’ve always felt terrible about the things I said. I’m truly sorry!"

"You silly thing!" Seeing his embarrassed expression, Qiu Xingcai gave a gentle smile. "It’s alright! I was never angry with you. In fact, I should be thanking you."

"Thanking me for what?" Now it was Chen Xiaobei’s turn to be confused.

"For humiliating me, of course!" Qiu Xingcai puffed out her ample chest and said proudly, "Think about it. If you hadn’t humiliated me back then, how would I have ever realized that a woman’s greatest assets are her figure and her face?"

"So I made up my mind right then and there: no matter what it took, I was going to become beautiful!"

"Becoming beautiful gave me everything I have today!"

With that, Qiu Xingcai grabbed Chen Xiaobei’s hand, a wide smile on her face. "So, you see, Chen Xiaobei, you’re my benefactor. I can’t thank you enough."

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, please, don’t say any more." Chen Xiaobei was cringing so hard he could feel it, and he quickly changed the subject. "By the way, what are you up to these days? What brings you back to Mangniu Town?"

Qiu Xingcai answered swiftly, "Oh, me? I started a construction company in Songshan. I came back to visit a friend! I’m doing okay, I suppose."

"And what about you, old deskmate? I heard you got into Songshan University. The semester isn’t over yet, is it? Why are you back already?"

"Ah, it’s a long story." Chen Xiaobei sighed. Not wanting to hide anything, he told her everything that had happened over the past two years.

After listening, Qiu Xingcai’s mouth formed a shocked "O". She exclaimed, "Oh my God! You gave up your studies to take care of your sister-in-law and niece? Chen Xiaobei, you... you’re a truly good person!"

As she spoke, her eyes filled with pity, as if she felt his sacrifice wasn’t worth it.

But Chen Xiaobei just smiled. "It’s not about being a good person. My foster father found me in a mountain ravine all those years ago. If it weren’t for them, I, Chen Xiaobei, would have died a long time ago."

"No matter how you look at it, I could never abandon my sister-in-law."

"Be that as it may, I still think you’re a good person!" Qiu Xingcai’s eyes lit up. "Say, since you’re not in school anymore, why don’t you come work at my company?"

"We’re short-staffed right now, and you’ve been to university. If you’re willing to learn, it would be easy for you to become a project manager down the line!"

"What do you think? Want to consider it?" As she spoke, Qiu Xingcai handed him her business card.

Her expression was sincere, even filled with anticipation, and held not a trace of disdain for him.

Honestly, in this materialistic world, warm-hearted women like Qiu Xingcai were a rarity. Especially since he had once humiliated her, yet she not only held no grudge but also seemed to genuinely have his best interests at heart. Her sincerity alone moved Chen Xiaobei deeply.

However, since he was about to become his own boss, he had no desire to work for someone else.

Still, he accepted the card with a smile. "Qiu Xingcai, thank you for remembering your old deskmate. I’m actually starting my own business, so I won’t be able to join you."

"Oh, okay." Qiu Xingcai pursed her lips, figuring he was just too proud to accept.

But she didn’t call him out on it, smiling instead. "Alright, well, if you ever change your mind, you can contact me anytime."

"We’re old classmates, so don’t be a stranger!"

"Oh, right!" Qiu Xingcai added, "I’m hosting a dinner for our old classmates tonight at eight at the Longhua Hotel. You should come too!"

"It’s been years since we’ve all seen each other. It’ll be fun!"

"Chen Xiaobei, I can accept you not joining my company, but you have to at least give me enough face to show up for dinner, right?"

As she spoke, she pouted her lips, putting on an irresistibly pitiable expression.

That flash of charm involuntarily reminded Chen Xiaobei of how she looked years ago when she had confessed to him. Back then, she had been so introverted and plain. Who would have thought that after just a few years, she would become so outgoing and beautiful? Most importantly, she was still so kind.

In that moment, Chen Xiaobei’s opinion of her improved immensely. Besides, with the rural enterprise he was about to launch, he could use a partner just like her.

So, Chen Xiaobei nodded. "Sure, I’ll definitely be there on time!"

"That’s great! Old classmate, I’m really happy to see you!"

Qiu Xingcai flashed a sweet smile, gave him her phone number, and then drove off in her Audi A6. She was a whirlwind of energy, a true powerhouse of a woman.

The thought of a powerful woman made Chen Xiaobei think of Luo Qingcheng.

He wondered how she was doing and if he’d ever get the chance to see her again.

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhao Caixia suddenly sent him a picture.

When he opened it, he almost got a massive nosebleed.

In the photo, Zhao Caixia and Yang Yun were bound in red rope, their legs spread apart as they lay quietly on the bed.

At the bottom of the picture, Zhao Caixia had added a line of text: ’Daddy, the door is open. We’re waiting for you!’

"Fuck!"

Chen Xiaobei couldn’t handle the stimulation; he instantly got hard.
