My Wife is a Beautiful CEO - Chapter 161
Chapter 161-1: Jane
This was a Caucasian woman who had chestnut-colored curls, a tall physique, and shapely curves.
She had light violet eyeshadow, red lips, and beautiful indolent eyes. On her nails was black nail polish. Although her skin wasn’t very white, it still looked fair under the light.
She dressed up in a punkish style, but the weird thing was the orchid embroidered, dark purple cheongsam that she wore. It possessed a rich Huaxia style.
From a glance, it was neither fish nor fowl, for the mix between Eastern and Western culture was incredibly intense.
However, when one looked closely, they would notice that she had mixed the extreme styles of unconventionality together with classical perfectly.
She used a Western woman’s unique perspective to interpret the charm which Huaxia women pursued.
Without a doubt, whether if was Li Muhua or Lu Tao, or even Mo Qianni who was a beautiful woman, all of them couldn’t help but be filled with a single thought inside; how beautiful.
However, the most shocked out of them was Yang Chen!
How can it be her!?
Yang Chen’s lips formed a incomparably profound smile. He seemed bitter, yet happy, yet bewildered.
Nevertheless, this woman had already noticed Yang Chen. She first revealed a shocked expression, but immediately after, she threw him a coquettish glance.
“Fourth Uncle, this person is?” With the status of the host, Li Muhua walked up with the smile of an amiable gentleman and asked Li Guangxun.
Li Guangxun’s voice was rather sharp, he didn’t look at his nephew-cum-employer fondly, and proudly introduced, “This is my teacher that I had during my studies in the United Kingdom. She just happened to be in Hong Kong today. I invited her to take a look at the fruits of my past few years of research, and to give me guidance.”
To be honest, no matter how one looked at Li Guangxun, he was definitely over forty. On the other hand, this Western lady looked to be in her early twenties, and yet she was actually his teacher during his doctorate. It was truly unbelievable!
“I know that this beautiful lady is your teacher, but could we receive a more detailed introduction?” Li Muhua patiently asked, but his gaze shifted onto the beautiful Caucasian lady.
The woman revealed a perfect smile, and suddenly spoke in a fluent Mandarin, “Hello everybody, my name is Jane Christina Arthur Elizabeth Mountbatten Windsor Alexander. That’s my full name, but if you don’t mind, I prefer to be addressed as… Jane.”
Jane?
A simple name. It was an incomparably simple name, but her incredibly long full name was something that couldn’t be ignored!
The names of Westerners possesses all kinds of backgrounds, especially one from the United Kingdom which used to be an empire where the sun never sets. The tradition of the nobility allowed their names to represent their noble heritage.
It didn’t matter if it was the word Arthur, Elizabeth, Mountbatten, or Alexander in her name. All of those were symbols of authority and honor that only a noble would have.
It goes without saying that many ordinary folk would use the name Jane, but this woman definitely wasn’t a simple commoner!
Those present weren’t uneducated fools. Hearing such a name, they were immediately able to understand how complex and mysterious Jane’s identity was. So much so that she may even possess a noble title that was unknown to them.
“I’m very happy to be acquainted with you, Miss Jane.” Li Muhua reached his hand out towards Jane, and revealed a bright gentlemanly smile.
Jane didn’t shake hands with him, she politely smiled, and with the bearing like a noble princess she said, “You must be the Muyun Corporation’s CEO, Mr. Li Muhua. My apologies, a man taking the initiative to ask for a handshake with a woman is bad etiquette, so I decline.”
Such a direct rejection made Li Muhua feel a little awkward, but no one thought of this as Jane showing off. It felt more like this was the way Jane should be.
Li Guangxun frowned and said, “Muhua, you’re not allowed to be rude towards my teacher! Quickly prepare, I haven’t held a welcome reception for my teacher!”
“Oh, okay.” Li Muhua suddenly felt unhappy inside, but didn’t reveal it. He instructed one of his subordinates, who went to prepare the reception.
Jane curiously asked, “Little Li, what does welcome reception(jie feng) mean?”
Little Li!?
This form of address was naturally for Li Guangxun. Everybody looked at Li Guangxun with astonishment, they didn’t expect that Professor Li who was over forty was addressed by his teacher, a Westerner, as Little Li!
Li Guangxun’s face flushed, but he didn’t dare dally, so he immediately answered, “Dear teacher, it means to welcome a guest with a good meal.”
“Oh… welcome reception(jie feng). I learned another new phrase, haha.” Jane seemed very happy, her contented laugh was bright like it was one from an eighteen year old. She then looked towards Yang Chen and the others and said, “These people are……”
Li Muhua immediately introduced them, “They are our business partners. I brought them here today to tour the progress of the research institute’s new environmentally friendly material, then we’d then make a final revision of our contract. I never expected Miss Jane to honor us with your presence. Miss Jane, as my Fourth Uncle’s teacher, you should be able to give us some pointers in the scientific field, right?”
Jane doubtfully looked at Yang Chen. She didn’t seem to understand why this man had suddenly turned into an inspection member of a company.
Li Guangxun saw that Jane didn’t speak up, and thought that his teacher wasn’t willing. Thus, he discontentedly said, “Muhua, how can you so casually ask for Teacher to give pointers? Do you know of Teacher’s identity? Even the British Royal Society, America’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory, Germany’s Fraunhofer Society, and those other top academies would have difficulty inviting Teacher to even take a look. Do you think Teacher’s pointers can be casually given!?”
Chapter 161-2: Jane
“Little Li, you’ve said too much.” Jane shot a glance at Li Guangxun.
The frank and outspoken Li Guangxun immediately shut up and gave Jane a fawning smile.
Although those famous research institutions Li Guangxun mentioned weren’t well known to them, everyone present knew that Jane was definitely a top expert that could change the balance of power in the science world. It was truly hard to believe that this was a young lady!
Lu Tao was also shocked. He wisely but hesitantly asked, “Miss Jane, could it be that you’re a recipient of a Nobel Prize?”
Jane smiled and shook her head, “ No, I’ve never received any award.”
“My teacher has already been the final judge for the Nobel Prize for three years in a row, winning one is nothing…….” Li Guangxun mumbled, as if that was his glory.
This information once again shocked them! It could even be said that the recipients of the world’s most prestigious award, the Nobel Prize, was actually appointed by this girl!?
Even the calm CEO of a large company like Li Muhua felt reverence towards this ridiculously beautiful young Western lady. He felt ashamed of the intimacy that he tried to produce between them earlier. His small status was probably not even fart in front of her!
“Miss Jane, if you’re done with your plans for today, how about we have lunch at the restaurant we have booked. It’s rare that you could come to Hong Kong and be our guest, so please do us the honor.” Li Muhua had a little cold sweat as he spoke.
“Thank you Boss Li. However, I want to first catch up with an old friend.” Jane’s gaze shifted onto Yang Chen’s face as she said this.
As a woman, Mo Qianni, who was beside Yang Chen, was more sensitive. Ever since Jane appeared, she had the feeling that Jane was acquainted with Yang Chen. Furthermore, she felt that their relationship was unordinary. In this moment, she had finally verified that notion.
She couldn’t understand how Yang Chen could be acquainted with this woman who was perfect in beauty and intelligence. Mo Qianni secretly felt a little ache inside. Although she was also an outstanding beauty, other than Jane’s classical charm, there was a natural noble air around her that a commoner like Mo Qianni couldn’t compare with.
Yang Chen who had maintained silence finally received attention from everybody.
Other than Li Muhua and Mo Qianni, the others in the laboratory were practically in disbelief that an ordinary looking young man like him was acquainted with such a ridiculously outstanding lady!
Li Guangxun racked his brain as he believed that Yang Chen was an expert in a certain field, and that he just didn’t recognize him.
The cold sweat on Li Muhua was unstoppable, his smile was more bitter than after eating a coptis chinensis. As expected, his choice of surrendering was the right one. Being an acquaintance with a lady of this level meant that Yang Chen definitely wasn’t an ordinary person!
Yang Chen looked at Jane’s beautiful sapphire blue eyes of anticipation, and sighed. He nodded and said, “Let’s go to somewhere secluded to chat.”
With that said, Yang Chen took off the protective suit, and walked out with big strides.
Jane wasn’t wearing a protective suit in the first place, so she directly walked out.
This made many people have the same thought pop up in their heads. He seems to be a person from a different world.
Li Muhua and the others were at a loss, while Mo Qianni looked a little depressed. The sudden appearance of Jane made her feel so powerless for the first time in her life. It was as if… other than her best friend Lin Ruoxi, there were more obstacles to overcome.
Behind the research institute was a dense forest. Within the forest was a small pavilion with leaves scattered all over. This place was usually deserted, and was now a good location for Yang Chen and Jane to speak face to face.
Standing at a corner of the pavilion, Yang Chen leaned against a pillar, and slowly smoked a cigarette with his head lowered. He seemed to be thinking of something, and didn’t speak.
Jane quietly stood two meters in front of Yang Chen, her bright eyes stared straight at him. Her face contained a smile of excitement and joy, like she couldn’t get enough no matter how long she stared at him.
After some time, Yang Chen asked in a low voice, “Are my old friends well?”
“Just like before, everybody’s lives is just missing your existence.” Jane answered.
“That’s good……” Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Jane was silent for a moment before she asked, “Hades, are you really not planning to return?”
Yang Chen raised his head and said, “Don’t call me Hades, I’m now using my real name. Just call me Yang Chen. By the way, I’m working in Yu Lei International’s PR Department in Zhonghai. I’m now an ordinary man of society.”
Jane’s expression was brilliant, to the point that she looked like she was going to explode, but she forcefully held it in, clapped, and said, “Congratulations, Yang Chen. You’ve finally accomplished your transformation.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help smiling as he said, “Yeah, I have returned to Huaxia for over half a year. I didn’t just make some new friends, I’ve even gotten married. I now have a family and could finally have the life of an ordinary person.”
“You… are married!?” Jane’s beautiful face immediately turned deathly pale.
