Chapter 93: Did You Come from Another World?
Zhuo Wenjun is not an unfamiliar name, in the Han Dynasty there was a talented woman named Zhuo Wenjun, her love story with Sima Xiangru is still being told and retold today.
However, this Zhuo Wenjun is not that Zhuo Wenjun.
Although the trend of time-traveling has been popular in recent years, whether it's from modern times to ancient times or vice versa, they've all been very sensational. But this Zhuo Wenjun is absolutely not the Zhuo Wenjun from the Han Dynasty who traveled through time to the present day to make a phone call to Wu Tian.
"I've heard of you." Wu Tian glanced at Chen Chen, who was eavesdropping with his ears perked up beside him, and said into the receiver, "I don't know what Miss Zhuo wants to talk to me about?" This phone call not only surprised Chen Chen but also made Wu Tian feel unexpected. He didn't have any relationship with the other party, nor did he recognize them, and they had never even met in person. So how did the other party know his cell phone number? And why were they calling him proactively? Strange!
"I'd like to meet Mr. Wu, I don't know when he's available? I'll treat you to dinner. How about it?" said Zhuo Wenjun on the other end of the phone.
Wu Tian was still wondering about the other person's intention, but when he saw Chen Chen's face change color, he suddenly smiled and said, "Good, I have time now." Every time they mentioned Donghua Pharmaceuticals and Zhuo Wenjun's name in the past, Chen Chen would grit his teeth. Wu Tian also wanted to see what this woman looked like, who could make Chen Chen so jealous and resentful, whether she had three heads and six arms. "I'm on the other side of Houhai, come over, and call me when you arrive."
"Alright. Looking forward to meeting Mr. Wu. Goodbye."
Zhuo Wenjun's words exuded confidence, while also showing respect for Wu Tian. This gave Wu Tian a very good impression of her, and although they had not yet met, Wu Tian was already looking forward to it. Wu Tian glanced at Chen Chen beside him... both were women, but the difference between them was just so great?
"Do you want to meet Zhuo Wenjun?" Chen Chen stared at Wu Tian and asked, his expression serious, as if he had encountered a major problem.
"Yes." Wu Tian said, "Your ears are perked up so high, didn't you hear?"
"You're not allowed to go!" Chen Chen said.
"Why?" Wu Tian asked in puzzlement.
"There is no why."
"Then I'll go."
"Stop right there!"
"Am I not allowed to jump over the hurdle?" Wu Tian said with a smile, seeing Chen Chen's anxious look, Wu Tian decided to tease her, "If you don't tell me the reason, I will definitely go, no one can stop me, just like this afternoon's resignation."
As soon as Chen Chen heard Wu Tian's words, she became anxious and couldn't sit still, like an ant on a hot pot. She got up from her chair and walked back and forth in the courtyard, stopping in front of Wu Tian with a serious expression. "She is a very dangerous woman," she said. "Meeting her would undoubtedly put yourself in danger. Over the past two years, I've often heard stories about her from my dad. She's absolutely ruthless and merciless, a real femme fatale."
"Are you talking about yourself?" Wu Tian interrupted Chen Chen's words.
"I'm talking to you about something serious, don't interrupt." Chen Chen was very dissatisfied with Wu Tian's interruption and continued, "According to my dad, she is extremely cunning. Anyone who gets on her bad side will not have a good ending. If you go tonight, it will be disastrous. I'm doing this for your own good, understand?"
"Such a formidable figure?" Wu Tian put down the fan and stood up from the rocking chair, laughing and saying, "Then I must go and take a look. I want to see what kind of person she is who eats people without spitting out their bones."
"You, why don't you listen to me?" Chen Chen was kicked by Wu Tianqi's straight foot and walked around Wu Tian for two circles. Suddenly, he smiled at Wu Tian and said, "Let's go find Jingyun for a drink?"
"I have an appointment with Zhuo Wenjun."
"It's settled that you can brush her off, she's not some big shot. She makes a phone call and you go over, isn't that beneath your dignity as Wu Tian?"
"That's also right." Wu Tian nodded after hearing it.
"Then you're not going?" Chen Chen asked excitedly, almost jumping up.
"I'm going, but I'm going to teach her a lesson." Wu Tian said.
"......!" Chen Chen was almost driven mad by Wu Tian, and he started pacing back and forth in the room. Wu Tian saw this and smiled, becoming more and more interested in Zhuo Wen Yue.
Wu Tian changed his clothes and walked out of the house.
Chen Chen suddenly jumped in front of Wu Tian and said, "I'll go with you."
"What are you doing? Nobody invited you?"
"Don't let her pay, I'll get the bill myself. Let's go."
Wu Tian didn't say anything either. He knew Chen Chen would not let things go easily, so he decided to use actions instead of words to express himself and stopped wasting his breath on the other person.
Out of the courtyard, Wu Tian came to the bar street by the Back Sea. At night, this place was crowded with people, especially in summer. Many people were here, some to enjoy the cool breeze, some to drink, some to take a walk, some to talk about love, and some to boast. There were couples, groups of three or five, and it was extremely lively.
Wu Tian walked towards the crowded area, looking like he was strolling leisurely, but in reality, he was walking very quickly, almost as if he were gliding. He weaved through the crowd with ease, while Chen Chen struggled to keep up behind him. Wu Tian's sturdy build allowed him to push his way through, but whenever it was Chen Chen's turn, she would often be bumped and stumbled upon, unable to steady herself. The two of them looked like they were reenacting the scene from a few days ago when they had sped down the road in the early morning - Wu Tian always in front, Chen Chen only able to follow behind, feeling anxious and helpless as she yelled out Wu Tian's name, but he seemed not to have heard her. Before long, Chen Chen lost sight of Wu Tian's figure.
"How hateful! Dumped again!"
Wu Tian didn't mention the exact location when talking to Zhuo Wenjun, it was because he was on guard against Chen Chen. If Chen Chen went there, it would be meaningless. If Chen Chen got into an argument with Zhuo Wenjun, the one who would lose face would be him. Others wouldn't know that he wouldn't even dare to discipline a woman.
Soon, Zhuo Wenjun called back. Wu Tian said a location, and Zhuo Wenjun said he would arrive soon.
"Boss, ten skewers of meat, four waist strings, and another plate of peanuts and a cup of draft beer!" Wu Tian found a spot outside a barbecue stall and sat down alone. This is not Houhai, but it's close to Houhai. The environment on the shore of Houhai is good, but there's no atmosphere. It has become a scenic area now, all are going for sightseeing and excitement, few people really go there to enjoy nightlife.
"Alright!" The boss of the barbecue stall shouted out loud, then put the things Wu Tian ordered on the grill.
Xiao Gong put a stove on Wu Tian's desk, set up a net, and then brought over a plate of peanuts and zapi. Before long, the six-minute roasted skewers were also brought over.
Wu Tian took a sip of beer to quench his thirst, then put the skewers and waist on the grill, and started roasting peanuts.
The mobile phone rang again, Wu Tian wiped his hands and had not yet answered when a woman appeared in front of him.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wu Tianwu?"
Wu Tian looked up and saw the woman in front of him, and he was stunned. After a while, he said, "I am Wu Tian, are you Zhuo Wenjun?"
"Yes!" the woman replied.
"Sit!" Wu Tian casually picked up a small stool and placed it in front of her. He now seemed to understand why Chen Chen had been so anxious and restless earlier. The woman before him possessed beauty that was not inferior to Chen Chen, Jing Yun, and Fang Hua. In fact, she surpassed them by a little bit. It wasn't that she was exceptionally tall, but rather the classical aura about her was extremely striking. It was hard to imagine that in this modern society, after being baptized by the marketplace, such a woman could exist - it was as if a beauty from an ancient painting had stepped out of the canvas. In modern terms, this woman was as if she had traveled through time from ancient times. Modern vocabulary was simply insufficient to describe her.
Wu Tian now understands why King You of Zhou played with beacons and deceived the vassals, and why Wu Sangui charged into battle for a beauty.
With a flutter like a startled swan, and a gentle movement like a swimming dragon, she shines with the splendor of an autumn chrysanthemum, and is as luxuriant as a spring pine. She floats as gently as a light cloud veiling the moon, and drifts as softly as a breeze blowing back the snow.
From afar, she looks as radiant as the morning sun rising over the dew; but when you draw near to examine her closely, she shines as brightly as a lotus flower emerging from the ripples of a pond. Her slender waist is perfectly proportioned, and her height is just right; her shoulders are like those of a carved statue, and her waist is like that of a cicada.
Her neck is long and elegant, and her face is smooth and lustrous; her beauty is beyond compare, and her charm is irresistible. Her hair is piled high on her head, and her eyebrows are shaped like the crescent moon; her lips are red and inviting, and her teeth are white and shiny.
Her eyes sparkle with kindness, and her cheeks glow with a soft light; her beauty is dazzling, and her movements are full of elegance. She is as gentle as a summer breeze, and her words are as sweet as honey.
Chen Chen, don't you ever feel inferior?
"Come on, have some sausages!"
“……!”
