Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Love Rival

The other men joined in with the teasing.

The villagers were familiar with each other, and everyone knew that Chu Xi's only daughter had a special liking for their boss, Su Shen. It seemed like it was because of their teasing, so the boss eventually had Chu Xi's mom deliver lunch to him.

But for the other men in the crowd, it didn't make much of a difference. It just showed how close the Chu family was with the Su family.

Su Shen heard the men teasing and knew they were just playing around. He furrowed his brows and walked to the entrance of the hall.

Chu Tian, with her charming eyes, glanced at Su Shen. She had also heard the teasing from the men and blushed at the thought of marrying Su Shen.

Today, she was wearing a white blouse, which made her dark complexion stand out even more.

Chu Tian had her hair tied up in two braids today. She handed the lunchbox to Su Shen, shyly looking down at the ground. She softly said, "Brother Su Shen, this is for you."

Seeing Chu Tian like this, the others joined in with more teasing.

Previously, the prospective bride Lin Miao had demanded a hefty dowry of three thousand yuan and had severed ties with their leader. So, they had no good feelings towards the Lin family from the neighboring village.

However, they hoped their leader would find a spouse soon. So, even if Chu Tian had a dark and strong appearance, they thought she would be a good match because a strong female appearance was favored by rural folks for being sturdy and good for childbearing.

Even if the leader didn't want children, a strong girl like her would be efficient at work!

Chu Tian used to be lazy when it came to chores, but every time she was outside, she would act particularly diligent!

Some of the wives, seeing their husbands fixated on Chu Tian, couldn't hide their discontent. "Look at her attire, it's clear she's trying to allure people – not at all proper!"

"Isn't she dressed quite elegantly? It's not like she's dressed like a man, as you are..." The man's words were cut short as his wife pinched him, causing him to wince in pain.

Su Shen remained unfazed by the teasing from the others; he simply nodded nonchalantly and uttered a soft "Hmm."

The moment Su Shen accepted the lunchbox from Chu Tian, he noticed a sudden hush in the previously teasing crowd. Sharp intakes of breath filled the air as everyone's gaze converged in one direction.

Turning to enter the house, he followed their collective gaze and found a woman approaching the pigsty yard while carrying a lunchbox.

She was adorned in elegant attire, her loose hair framing her face with an artful touch of disheveled beauty.

If she had known someone else was already delivering a meal, she might not have made the effort. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
