Naruto In The World Of Beautiful Ceo - Chapter 111 Grudge
The gathering point before setting out towards the orphanage was Liu Corporation, it was a high class building that was even higher than Yu Lei’s headquarters and situated almost in the heart of the central side. Naruto had visited this place a couple of times prior to the eve of the event since he was the head of the team from Yu Lei and must coordinate well with Liu Ruyan.
The building’s construction was magnificent, every wall on its surface glistened as the sun on the sky shone upon its crystalline walls.
“Naruto, over here!”
As he made his way inside the building’s reception, four beauties stood in the front of couch nearby. Each had their own unique style and different appearance. Liu Mingyu with her orange-purple streaked hair, a denim-buttoned shirt and short black skirt, the front bulge of her prominent feature was boldly emphasized.
Perhaps because her innermost feeling had been freed, or she was soon to be married, also her inner demon had been less problematic (Regarding her imagination of cheating her long lost boyfriend), it compelled the true Liu Mingyu, the unrestrained and wild lady, to come out.
Not only was she not shy showing off her feature, she even frequently threw seductive glances at him.
It really required an inhuman willpower to resist this charming vixen, What a flirt!
Naruto gave a smile at her which she responded with a slight red hue on her face but smiled back at him anyways.
The second beauty had a less “seductress” vibe but was still a natural beauty. She had her hair reach all the way to her shoulders and was wearing a clerk-type uniform.
This person was who else but the strong headed Zhang Cai.
Yes, strong headed!
After last night of few days ago, where she lose against him in a drinking duel and knew it was one of Naruto’s tricks to help solve her problem. Although it wasn’t a direct solution, she still bore a grudge towards him.
For two days straight, the ordinarily mischief-making married woman gave him the cold shoulder, even eye contact, as if became a phobia for her.
Naruto, of course, didn’t give a whoop regarding her attitude, some people may have self-respect, and don’t get him wrong, he admired those kind of people, but if they were indulging in it too much, it somehow made it seem like an arrogant attitude instead.
Even at this time, Zhang Cai barely glanced at him and focused talking with the other women.
Naruto shook his head, although he did not care about this petty action of hers, he couldn’t help but feel slightly bitter.
You try to help someone, but the opposite party acted as if you had just killed their cat.
What madness…
Naruto shifted his attention towards the woman who cheered him up from afar.
The ponytailed woman with cream-colored beige suit and her everlasting, curled phoenix-like eyes. Her cheeks were rounded with appealing baby fat and slender eyegasm-worthy figure.
Unlike her hot-tempered best bud, Zhao Hongyan acted more intimate with him; it’s no longer a rare occasion when she even offered him breakfast, even sometimes lunch. She tagged along with him the first chance she got in the morning.
This action of hers received a supercilious look from Mingyu. She teased Naruto that Zhao Hongyan might have a feeling for him, resulting in her rear being repeatedly slapped by him- in the evening of course…
As for the other beauty? Naruto thought she looked familiar, Song Lihua if he wasn’t mistaken.
Despite Naruto was calling her a beauty, this Song Lihua, in fact, looked pretty normal. Her hair was styled with the front parted and falling uponher cheek. A bang concealed half of her forehead. Height neither tall or short and three sizes properly groomed. She wore white shirt with a yellow necktie and a luxurious blue skirt ending a few inches below her knees.
Song Lihua nodded her head towards Naruto and continued focusing her attention towards the chatty Zhang Cai.
“Sister Hongyan, I didn’t expect to meet you here…” Naruto remarked while dragging a white suitcase almost half his size.
The women were startled as soon as they got a clear vision of the baggage he brought. Mingyu also had a suit case with her, but even in size, it couldn’t win against his. Moreover she was a woman, whose maintenancerequired more than any one man, Oh the price of vanity!
Well, unless they liked to apply skin care, hair product, and also cosmetics, then by all mean, please.
“You’ll be going ona business trip far away. Of course we must send you off,” Hongyan said in a mumbled manner, her eyes never moving from the sight of his suitcase.
“Naruto, are you gonna go on the trip with that?”
Hearing the doubtful words lots of weird stares from these beauties, even with his thick skin, he couldn’t help but feel slightly bashful.
“Yeah…” Naruto said with a sigh, he didn’t know why but the urge to find a hole to hide was immense right now.
“You are… really something,” Hongyan said with a slight twitch on the corner of her lips.
Mingyu was quick on the uptake as she understood this situation didn’t occur because Naruto himself wanted it, but he did it in the behest of someone else.
As for who that person was? She did not have to think that much, did not need to ponder that hard.
Song Lihua giggled while covering her luscious pink lips.
In conclusion, everything was as well as before…
“BAHAHAHA!”
A sudden outburst of laughter came from one of the ladies, it’s not a happy laughter, nor one of a joyous moment to enjoy together.
Zhang Cai grasped her stomach while her mouth gaped widely, a train of satiric laughter came as a breeze and quickly entered everyone’s auditory nerves.
“Ahaha! I can’t believe my eyes, Naruto, don’t tell me you’ve never camped before? Never gone to the countryside or even see a village?”
Her back started to hunch from the excessive amount of glee, her voice became hoarse and the corner of her eyes spilled tears.
“Ah… it must be truly hard for the people who usually bathe in the comfort of luxury, full of facilities ready to please, in contrast to going somewhere isolated, poor conditions, such lackluster places…”
The sneer on her lips caused Zhao Hongyan and Liu Mingyu to furrow their eyebrows, they knew what elicited such hostilityfrom Zhang Cai, but they never expected it would be this dire…
Song Lihua took a few steps back, the lad was smart enough to smell smoke from a fledgling fire.
“…” Naruto didn’t have much of a response toward the shoulder length haired woman’s remark; he stared at her with a poker face.
Zhang Cai’s muscle face twitched as she didn’t get her desired response from the blonde, but the corner of her lips soon curled in a sneer.
“I bet what’s inside must be a salve for insect bites ? Maybe a pair of rubber gloves to protect yourself in the wild? How about bugspray – did you bring one? Then lotion, eye mask, double blanket… Oh, oh, I know! A set of spoon and fork eat, I mean, the rich clearly don’t want to mix and sup withthe poor… yes, yes, quiteunderstandable!” she snarked while haughtily glaring at him.
Zhao Hongyan’s expression changed into an ugly one, but she still held back her anger. Mingyu twitched her eyes as if readied to erupt.
As for Song Lihua, this lad wisely stayed out of the picture.
Naruto knew Zhang Cai just wanted to express her grudge and anger towards him, perhaps what he did truly had offended her self-respect, but being provoked repeatedly and be taunted for being a richy-richy dude multiple times somehow touched his nerve.
“Sister Cai…” Naruto forced a smile, he knew he shouldn’t lower himself to the same level as her.
“What? You want to argue?” Zhang Cai didn’t appear guilty, instead her expression became sadistic.
“No, arguing just wastes time, you won’t listen to me anyway,” he sighed while shaking his head.
“Good, knowing your own manner is good,” she nodded, her eyes rolled upwards, “oh, it would be much more meaningful if you had learned it three days ago…”
“Zhang Cai, you-”
Mingyu couldn’t bear it any longer, she was ready to lash out at her, but Naruto’s Look compelled her to step back. (A/N: Don’t frown at the capital L, it’s the editor who want it, blame him)
Zhao Hongyan sighed, she somewhat regretted taking her along to send their coworker on the journey, her concern was because she, her, and Mingyu were a trio of friends , she would’ve felt bad if she didn’t ask her to come.
“Sister Cai, you kept calling me rich person?” Naruto said.
“Could it be you’re not? Only a rich person would meddle in things he shouldn’t,” Zhang Cai said, waving her hand dismissively.
“No, no, whatever you think of me, I won’t care about it, I just want to ask you a question…”
“Heh, bring it on, but please don’t try too hard, this lowly person, doesn’t have the capability to handle hard things by herself…”
Naruto shook his head, this endeavor truly tried the limit of his patience. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
“Have you ever eaten an apple?”
Naruto’s inquiry caught all the women by surprise, and Zhang Cai followed by a frown.
“Are you for real?”
“Just answer.”
“Of course I have,” she said without hesitation, then another sneer sat on the corner of her lips, “do you want to tell me that I am also a rich person for eating an apple?”
Naruto lightly smiled; he didn’t bother with her extra comment.
“How about a half-eaten apple?”
“No,” Zhang Cai said carelessly, who would want to eat half eaten apple anyway.
“How about a rotten apple? Have you eat one?”
“Well, there were some apples that have kinda gone bad on its surface , I– ”
“No, what I mean is that the whole apple had became rotten…”
“Then no. Might as well be thrown out,” Zhang Cai stiffened. It was as if shecould perceive where this back-and-forth questionnaire would lead.
Editor’s reaction (E/N): I can too LOL
“Then…” Naruto kept his light smile with just a hint of melancholy, looking at her with a gentle visage, “have about a half-eaten rotten apple?”
It could be said that Naruto’s last question was as if a bomb dropped in the middle of forest, the prior silence shattered into nothing by the loud bang of explosion.
Although he didn’t narrate his life story, the women around his vicinity thought that he inferred via the questions , Why else would one ask those sorts of questions? Their eyes couldn’t help but glance towards him, even Mingyu was filled with everlasting sorrow.
Zhang Cai bit her lips, threw her eyes to the side, and tried to come with some rebuttal…
But nothing came into her mind, thus the situation quickly became awkward .
A disturbing air brewed among them.
At this moment, a soft voice unexpectedly supported by a husky, seductive timbrereverberated in the room.
“Mr. Naruto, are you ready to go?”
