Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 527 - 487 Heading to the US_1
Chapter 527: Chapter 487 Heading to the US_1
Two days later.
Lu Chuan arrived at Jiangbei International Airport.
He approached the boarding gate, noticed he had some time before boarding, and decided to find a spot to sit down and rest for a while.
Just then, a voice called out from behind him.
"Lu Chuan?"
Lu Chuan turned to look behind him and saw a man and a woman approaching him. The man had slicked-back hair, wore sunglasses, and was dressed in a beach shirt, which made him look somewhat greasy. The woman had curly hair, bright red lips, and was pretty, but appeared somewhat wanton, the type people often describe as saucy.
Lu Chuan studied the two for a moment but couldn’t remember who they were. However, since he had encountered similar situations before, he tentatively asked, "The two of you, wouldn’t happen to be one of my classmates, would you?"
The slicked-back haired man immediately said, "You got it, it’s me, your class president! Don’t you recognize me?"
Lu Chuan scrutinized the man with the slicked-back hair for a few moments and felt he looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall exactly who he was at the moment.
The man immediately removed his sunglasses, smiled, and said, "What, don’t recognize me? Ma Chenggong, your high school class president. Remember now?"
It was then that Lu Chuan started to piece together some memories of the person before him.
This guy really was their class president during high school, but back then, Lu Chuan didn’t have any good impressions of him because this guy was a pure sycophant and extremely status-conscious. During school, he would always hang around the rich kids, sucking up to them and even flattering teachers, all to secure favors for himself.
As for a poor kid like Lu Chuan, he would naturally have been the least valuable in Ma Chenggong’s eyes. Back then, Ma Chenggong was often dismissive of Lu Chuan and sometimes would even bully him, taking advantage of his role as errand boy for the rich kids.
"So, it’s Class President Ma. I really didn’t recognize you just now," Lu Chuan said politely.
Ma Chenggong’s face immediately showed a smug expression, "I get it, after graduation I’ve climbed the social ladder; just my aura alone is beyond what those losers can compare with. It’s normal you didn’t recognize me."
Lu Chuan was instantly speechless, thinking to himself that he hadn’t noticed any superior aura about him.
Ma Chenggong then turned to the woman nearby and said, "Shanshan, this is the guy I mentioned to you before, the clown who delivered food to support his girlfriend and then got cuckolded by her."
The woman named Shanshan looked at Lu Chuan, and a hint of contempt appeared in her eyes.
Do you two think I’m invisible?... Lu Chuan felt he could hardly stand these two disrespectful individuals. If it weren’t for the sake of their past as classmates, he would’ve already given each of them a smack to cool their heads.
Ma Chenggong looked at Lu Chuan again and said with a laugh, "Lu Chuan, you haven’t gone the wrong way, have you? This is the international terminal for flights going abroad. You better not be on a flight for the first time and make a fool of yourself."
Lu Chuan, managing to keep his composure, said, "I haven’t gone the wrong way, I’m going to New York City."
Ma Chenggong immediately looked Lu Chuan up and down, noting, "Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought? What, you couldn’t make it here, so you want to try your luck working abroad?"
"Err..."
Lu Chuan hadn’t yet answered, but Ma Chenggong cut him off. He wasn’t interested in Lu Chuan’s reasons for going abroad; he just wanted to segue into bragging about his own circumstances.
He said, "Let me tell you, Shanshan and I are going abroad because I successfully got an interview for the position of caretaker and cook at a manor owned by the CEO beauty of Cloud Mass Group."
"That CEO beauty of Cloud Mass Group is the young miss of the Nangong aristocratic family. Don’t think that we’re just there to be her caretaker and cook, but you should know that’s abroad, a place like heaven. Plus, the manor we’re going to is a top-tier estate. The benefits there are unlike any ordinary job, it’s no exaggeration to say that as a caretaker there, my status is even higher than some entrepreneurs here in the country!"
"How about that, are you envious?"
Lu Chuan endured the awkwardness and offered Ma Chenggong a smile, saying, "That’s quite good."
Ma Chenggong, with a face full of pride, said, "Don’t worry, once I’m settled over there, I could definitely arrange for you to work as a servant. You just need to follow me and enjoy the good life."
At that moment, boarding began.
Lu Chuan really didn’t want to deal with his old classmate, so he quickly said, "Well, I need to board the plane, I’ll go check in first."
Seeing how eager Lu Chuan was to board the plane, Ma Chenggong’s face showed contempt as he said, "This guy must know about the great job I found abroad, envious and spiteful in his heart, but too embarrassed to show it, so he’s running away with his tail between his legs."
Shanshan sneered and said, "I think so, too. That guy is just a loser; he can’t compare with us."
Ma Chenggong wrapped his arm around Shanshan and said with a laugh, "Alright, let’s board as well. I’ve heard the air abroad is sweet. Once I’m out there, I’m never coming back."
The plane took off, and after a long journey, it finally arrived in New York City.
Lu Chuan walked towards the exit of the airport. During the flight, he had mastered English effortlessly, thanks to the advantage of being a Cultivator, so even in a foreign land, he wouldn’t be troubled by a language barrier.
He arrived at the airport exit and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he had already spotted Nangong Duoduo, who had come early to greet him.
He also noticed Ma Chenggong and Shanshan running towards his direction, which made him furrow his brows in annoyance.
"Lu Chuan, why are you in such a hurry? Is it because my achievements have shattered your confidence?" Ma Chenggong said. "There’s no need to avoid me. We’re classmates. Even if the gap between us is huge, I still acknowledge our relationship. You don’t need to feel inferior in front of me. Come on, I’ll treat you to a meal, and we can catch up."
Lu Chuan looked at him wordlessly and said, "No need, someone is here to pick me up."
Ma Chenggong immediately said, "Look at you, even if you don’t want to have a meal with me, you don’t need to lie. Everyone knows you’ve been struggling since graduation. How could you possibly have friends here abroad to pick you up?"
At this moment, Shanshan tugged at Ma Chenggong’s arm and said excitedly, "Dear, look, it’s Miss Nangong!"
When Ma Chenggong turned his head and really saw Nangong Duoduo approaching, he straightened up excitedly and said, "Why would Miss Nangong show up here? Could it be... she’s here to welcome us?"
Shanshan said, "It’s highly likely. After all, we’re going to work at her estate. Our remarkable abilities must have won Miss Nangong’s favor, so she’s come to pick us up herself!"
Ma Chenggong’s heartbeat quickened, and then he turned to Lu Chuan to boast, "Did you see that? That angelic beauty there is Miss Nangong. She’s come specifically to pick us up. Since that’s the case, we won’t be joining you for that meal. You should just find a KFC to fend for yourself."
Lu Chuan, with a look of annoyed helplessness, expressed deep admiration for the pair’s wild imagination.
He had no intention of telling the two the real reason why Nangong Duoduo was at the airport, thinking about enjoying the spectacle of their embarrassment later on.
Soon, Nangong Duoduo arrived.
She had been keeping an eye on the exit the whole time, and upon seeing Lu Chuan, she immediately hurried over.
When Ma Chenggong and Shanshan saw Nangong Duoduo coming towards them, they both wore a respectful expression and were about to greet her.
However, Nangong Duoduo completely ignored the two and walked straight up to Lu Chuan.
She looked at Lu Chuan and, with a smile, said, "Long time no see."
Lu Chuan smiled back and replied, "Long time no see."
Ma Chenggong and Shanshan froze on the spot.
