Chapter 43: Chapter 40: National Goddess
Zhang Lu’s words made Chu ngyao brighten up, as she also believed that Ye Fan would never leave without saying goodbye. The thought of Ye Fan’s appearance filled her heart with anticipation.
"Thank you," Chu ngyao said to Zhang Lu with gratitude.
"You’re welco," Zhang Lu chuckled softly.
The three won waited anxiously, and the atmosphere beca very quiet, with only the ticking of the clock echoing.
Shen Yahut was not very patient. Her understanding of Ye Fan was not deep, so she wasn’t sure if Ye Fan would appear.
Zhang Lu was extrely confident, believing her judgnt of people was infallible. She didn’t ntion cooperating with Chu Group again, as Chu ngyao wasn’t in the mood to discuss business at that mont. Besides, whether the deal would succeed depended on Ye Fan’s performance. If Ye Fan agreed to help, all would be well; if not, there could be no cooperation with Chu Group.
Chu ngyao waited patiently, full of determination, as if ready to witness seas run dry and rocks crumble.
Suddenly, the door of the villa opened, and the eyes of the three won focused intently in one direction.
Chu ngyao was especially anxious, her eyes shining, almost rising to run over.
Entering the villa was not Ye Fan, but naturally, it was Chu Biyao, Chu ngyao’s twin sister, who canceled all her work to hurriedly return ho.
"Dear sister, your cute little sister is back ho," Chu Biyao shouted joyfully, sprinting swiftly.
Rushing into the hall, she saw Chu ngyao, Zhang Lu, and Shen Yahut staring at her without blinking, and she was slightly stunned.
"Don’t look at
like that. I’m getting embarrassed," Chu Biyao giggled sweetly. Seeing her sister’s haggard appearance, she imdiately darted over like a rabbit, calling joyfully, "Sister, your little sister is back."
Chu Biyao nestled beside her sister, embracing her tightly, and Chu ngyao relaxed, opening her arms to hug her back.
"Crying like a little cat, your eyes are even swollen. You, as an elder sister, are embarrassing . It’s just a man who’s gone. If I step in, even if he hides in the deep mountains, I can catch him for you. You’re too upset," Chu Biyao said, tenderly stroking Chu ngyao’s red swollen eyes, with a hint of anger.
"Why did you co back?" Chu ngyao asked, not ntioning anything else.
"How could you not tell
about having a love interest? Luckily, I’m smart and took a look at the surveillance footage in my spare ti. I was shocked by what I saw, which caused
to rush back in a hurry. Just when I was about to board, I received a call from mom," Chu Biyao pouted, her expression turning angry when ntioning her mom.
"What love interest? Just a friend," Chu ngyao explained, uncertain of her emotions.
"You’re lying to yourself," Chu Biyao puffed her cheeks and poked Chu ngyao’s forehead.
The two sisters chatted there, while Shen Yahut and Zhang Lu looked on with wide mouths and eyes, not knowing what to say about the identical twins before them.
It was Zhang Lu’s first ti eting Chu Biyao. Although she had seen her several tis on screen, the younger generation in her family were very enamored with Chu Biyao, so she had so understanding of this beautiful star.
Shen Yahut, even as Chu ngyao’s secretary, had never seen her in person but finally had the chance.
However, the real person was vastly different from the pure goddess on screen. She wasn’t a star goddess but simply like a little girl. Although it was impossible to understand Chu Biyao’s daily life, eting her up close gave Shen Yahut a more accurate impression compared to her mysterious goddess image; the impact of the real person was truly overwhelming.
"The national goddess looks like this, quite unlike the unreachable figure of legend," Shen Yahut thought dazedly.
In the public’s mind, Chu Biyao has many titles, such as pure goddess and the most perfect goddess in history, with the national goddess being the most prominent. ntioning the national goddess, everyone knew who she was referring to.
After exchanging a warm greeting with her sister, Chu Biyao looked playfully at Shen Yahut, lifted her chin, and said, "Judging by your astonished gaze, you seem to be disappointed in ?"
"No, I just didn’t expect the once distant national goddess to have such a down-to-earth side," Shen Yahut chuckled awkwardly.
"It’s different on stage and off stage. You’re supposed to be my sister’s secretary and went abroad for further education, yet you don’t even understand this. I look down on you. Ignorance is truly frightening. Haven’t you heard the saying ’No hero in the eyes of a servant’?" Chu Biyao teased.
Knowing Shen Yahut works alongside her sister, Chu Biyao had so understanding of her; she wouldn’t let any peculiar characters near her sister, whether good or bad.
"I’ve been taught; it was my loss of composure," Shen Yahut said earnestly, enlightened by Chu Biyao’s simple words. Taking ’No hero in the eyes of a servant’ as an example, it’s a Western proverb. Heroes are great in others’ minds, shrouded in mysterious glory, but in the eyes of their servants, they eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, just like ordinary people.
Therefore, a hero isn’t particularly remarkable in a servant’s eyes; he’s just a person.
The situation is similar to Chu Biyao’s. On stage, she’s a dazzling legend; off stage, she’s simply a woman, even a girl.
Chu Biyao glanced mischievously at Zhang Lu, smiling, "You’re the beauty whose pants got ripped, aren’t you?"
"How do you know?" Zhang Lu’s expression darkened. She held no significant sentint toward Chu Biyao. After all, she was just a celebrity, and for soone who often dealt with life and death like Zhang Lu, their worlds were far removed.
Only Ye Fan and Chu ngyao knew about the incident with her pants. Naturally, she suspected Chu ngyao leaked it; otherwise, why would Chu Biyao know? Seeing the sisters’ close relationship, however, she remained composed. It’s only natural for sisters to share everything.
"Don’t glare, and don’t overthink it. The villa has surveillance; I know everything. If you need the footage, I can burn you a copy to see your angry and embarrassed expressions," Chu Biyao’s eyes sparkled, glancing around mischievously.
"Surveillance?" Zhang Lu was shocked. For such an expert, the fact she hadn’t noticed was truly baffling.
