Chapter 307: 307 Don’t Let Me Down (First Update)

Chu Jin’s disappearance undoubtedly provided Zheng Chuyi with an excellent opportunity.

She had been fretting about not having a chance to bring Chu Jin to the public eye.

With this development, some things became much more convenient to implement.

Chu Jin’s residence wasn’t far from here, so she arrived here quite quickly.

Zheng Chuyi saw Chu Jin through a red gauze bead curtain.

She sat in the inner room, vaguely seeing an graceful figure but unable to discern a clear face, the air was filled with a faint lotus leaf fragrance—not too strong but quite pleasant and refreshing.

"Ninth Lady, you were looking for me," Chu Jin stopped before the red gauze bead curtain, her demeanor extremely respectful.

She had been discharged from the hospital half a month ago, and by now, all the scars on her face had completely healed. It had to be said that her surgery was very successful.

Eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth—she resembled Chu Jin strikingly, and with the addition of makeup, it was hard to find any flaws without a close inspection. To the unknowing, it would seem as if Chu Jin had come back.

Her attire was identical to Chu Jin’s as well.

She was dressed in a white shirt with a pair of black pencil pants below, and simple athletic shoes on her feet.

However, painting the skin of a tiger is easier than capturing its bones. A copy, after all, is still a copy, and on closer inspection, the differences between the two would become evident.

Chu Jin’s gaze was crystal clear, untainted by a speck of worldly dust, pure to the extreme and alluring to the extreme.

But Chu Jin’s eyes were different. Her eyes were fake to begin with, not to mention the expressions beneath them.

All one could see in her eyes was endless greed and desire.

And then there was the issue of their figures.

Chu Jin had managed to obtain a slender figure through dieting and liposuction, but it still couldn’t compare to Chu Jin’s.

But who would notice these things without paying close attention?

Overall, the transformation of Chu Jin was very successful.

At the very least, upon a glance, one would think she was Chu Jin.

From behind the red gauze bead curtain, Zheng Chuyi looked at her work and her mouth curved into a very satisfied smile, "Sit, Roy, serve Miss Chu some tea."

The plastic surgery in Goryeo Nation was truly masterful.

It had transformed two completely different-looking people into duplicates of one another.

Good, it was really too good.

This brought her one step closer to her perfect plan.

Thinking that the plebeian would soon be under her control, Zheng Chuyi felt incredibly delighted.

The smile at the corner of her mouth grew deeper.

The servant named Roy quickly lifted the red gauze bead curtain and served Chu Jin a cup of fresh tea, "Miss Chu, please enjoy."

Chu Jin nodded politely in thanks, "Thank you."

But the smile on her lips was unnatural and even stiff.

Upon closer observation, one would notice that not only the smile but all the features on her face seemed stiff and discordant.

Roy, curious, took a closer look at her and felt that this person seemed familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she addressed Chu Jin with great joy, "I remember now, you are that famous Chu Beauty from the internet, aren’t you?"

Roy wasn’t much older, about 20 years old, and she liked to surf the internet, so she almost instantly recognized the ’Chu Beauty’.

Chu Jin had just returned to the country, been busy with various ’rules’ arranged by Zheng Chuyi, and hadn’t found the time to go online, so she was unaware of the news about her on the internet.

Therefore, at the moment, she looked somewhat bewildered at Roy, "What?"

Zheng Chuyi laughed softly, "That’s enough, Roy. Miss Chu has just returned to the country; don’t frighten her."

If people mistook her for someone else, it meant that Chu Jin’s transformation was very perfect indeed.

At these words, Roy became even more excited. She never imagined that one day she would see the famous Chu Beauty in person.

It was truly great that Chu Beauty was fine.

Like countless netizens these past days, she too was looking forward to Chu Beauty’s return.

Although she had never received Chu Jin’s kindness, nor had she ever met her, these days she had seen a lot about Chu Jin’s deeds through the internet.

She liked Chu Jin very much and admired her greatly; she felt that Chu Jin was a person filled with positive energy.

Like many netizens, she had long since become a ’Chu fan’.

"Chu Jin, I really like you, can we take a picture together?" Roy then asked.

Being liked by a young girl, who even addressed her as a beautiful person, Chu Jin was very happy.

She and Zheng Chuyi alike possessed a very strong sense of vanity.

And this address of ’Chu Jin’ satisfactorily fed her vanity and sense of superiority, which at least proved that her choice was the right one, didn’t it?

Moreover, she was well aware that this appearance brought her benefits far beyond these.

Faced with Roy’s expectant and adoring expression, Chu Jin was just about to nod when Zheng Chuyi’s voice came through the air, "Roy, please go out for a moment, I still have something to discuss with Miss Chu."

The hostess had spoken; it was only right for Roy to leave.

In Roy’s heart, Zheng Chuyi was the mistress of this villa, even though she did not live with Jiang Mubai.

But from the look in Jiang Mubai’s eyes, it was clear that he truly liked her.

Moreover, it was evident from Zheng Chuyi’s actions that she had long considered herself the mistress of the place.

After Roy left, the air fell into a mysterious silence.

Zheng Chuyi did not speak; naturally, Chu Jin did not feel it was proper to speak first, so she could only sit there and wait quietly for Zheng Chuyi to break the silence.

After a long time, the tea that had been steaming hot had cooled down completely, and Zheng Chuyi still showed no intention of speaking.

Chu Jin felt uneasy and somewhat couldn’t understand the real intention of Mrs. Jiufu, hesitating several times to speak.

In fact, the reason why Zheng Chuyi did not speak was very simple: she wanted to give Chu Jin a lesson in humility.

To let her know that she was the one who controlled her fate.

After a while, Zheng Chuyi finally spoke slowly, "How well have you learned the rules these days?" Her tone was somewhat gentle, but not without authority; it was comfortable to listen to and made one wonder what kind of stunning beauty lay hidden behind the red beaded curtain.

Even with such a gentle voice, one could tell that the speaker was a great beauty of devastating charm.

Chu Jin certainly knew what ’rules’ Zheng Chuyi referred to and replied very respectfully, "Mrs. Jiufu, I have learned them quite well."

"Very good," Zheng Chuyi nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, "Then do you know why I had you learn these things?"

Chu Jin shook her head, "I don’t know."

These days, Mrs. Jiufu had her learn many complex ’rules’, and even had her memorize "Woman’s Bible."

She thought Mrs. Jiufu probably wanted to use these ’rules’ to admonish her, to remind her not to overstep her bounds and to always remember who gave her a new lease on life.

So, right now, saying she didn’t know was the perfect answer.

Two people with deep schemes, when they met, were bound to put on a big show.

And now, the curtain was just about to rise on this show.

"Don’t know?" The corners of Zheng Chuyi’s mouth curled into a slow arch, and looking toward Chu Jin through the red beaded curtain, her tone betrayed no anomaly, "Since you don’t know, aren’t you going to ask?"

Chu Jin shook her head and smiled lightly, "There’s nothing to ask. Mrs. Jiufu, you have given me a second lease on life; no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it, so I have no questions."

"Even if it’s climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames?" Zheng Chuyi continued to ask, her eyes fixed intently on Chu Jin, as if her piercing gaze had turned tangible.

It made Chu Jin feel somewhat breathless.

Even separated by two layers of red beads, the chill emanating from her could not be blocked.

Chu Jin’s complexion remained unchanged; she looked up firmly at the person behind the red beads and said with determination, "As long as it is your command, Mrs. Jiufu, even if it is climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames, I am willing to do it."

Actually, her answer was not against her true feelings.

She was truly grateful to Mrs. Jiufu; without her, there would not have been her today.

Clearly, Zheng Chuyi was very satisfied with Chu Jin’s response; what she wanted was a compliant creation.

A creation that would obey absolutely, one that she could mold at her will.

"Very good," Zheng Chuyi spoke at last, soothingly, "You are smart, I hope you will not disappoint me in the future."
