Chapter 1879

~9 min read 1,638 words

Kelly Wearstler didn't expect that Fei Kexin was so young, but she still had such a deep impression of An Chengxi.

Moreover, looking at her appearance, she seemed to admire An Chengxi very much.

This made her feel a burst of relief in her heart, and she couldn't help but sigh, "So many years have passed, and there are still so many people remembering her, it's really great..."

Fei Kexin nodded and hurriedly asked, "Kelly, how did you get to know An Chengxi?"

Kelly Wearstler said with nostalgia, "When I first entered the design circle, things didn't go smoothly. Although I did high-end private house design, high-end users were very disdainful of me, a designer who was just starting out. Moreover, the American society of that era discriminated against women in many job positions, and the design industry was naturally no exception..."

Speaking of this, she sighed lightly and said with a face full of gratitude, "I originally saved money and took out five thousand US dollars to open my first personal design exhibition in Brooklyn, New York, but that design exhibition was almost ignored. Occasionally, visitors who came in would generally shake their heads and walk out, until An Chengxi, who happened to pass by at that time, walked in..."

"Then what?" Fei Kexin asked impatiently, "Then she gave you a chance, right?"

Kelly Wearstler smiled sincerely and continued, "I feel more that she gave me a brand new world... After that, she not only handed over a top luxury mansion she had in Manhattan to me for full-case design, but even brought me directly into the upper-class society of Manhattan and recommended me to everyone around her. Since then, I inexplicably became popular. Before the first full-case design was finished, I had already become a hot private house designer in Manhattan..."

Fei Kexin couldn't help but sigh, "Being able to share the top resources with a stranger so selflessly, this kind of mind is indeed remarkable. No wonder there are so many companies in Silicon Valley that are getting stronger and stronger under her investment. This kind of person who goes all out to lift the sedan chair for others often can achieve the greatest success..."

Kelly Wearstler agreed incomparably, "She is indeed a very selfless person, especially to newcomers, always very helpful. If she feels that you are indeed a person with ability and talent, then she will never sit idly by and watch your ability and talent be buried and let down."

Xiao Churan on the side was already yearning in her heart.

Although her social experience was not much, she had never met a person like An Chengxi.

In her view, this woman she had never met, and even heard of for the first time, seemed to radiate infinite personality charm.

But thinking that Kelly Wearstler just said that An Chengxi had passed away twenty years ago, she couldn't help but ask, "May I ask... why did this Ms. An pass away so early?"

"I don't know." Kelly Wearstler shook her head and said, "I only know that her family claimed at the time that she died in an accident. As for the specific reason, I don't know."

Fei Kexin said very seriously at this time, "I once heard my grandfather mention An Chengxi's death. It seems that the reason behind it is extremely complicated, so complicated that even he is tight-lipped about it. I actually asked him several times, and he warned me very seriously not to explore it, and also said that don't look at the An family being able to rank in the top three among the top families in the world, but in front of this matter, they didn't make any struggle."

Kelly Wearstler smiled helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about these heavy topics. Isn't Ms. Xiao going to take us around Jin Ling?"

"Yes." Fei Kexin also hurriedly changed the subject and said to Xiao Churan, "Churan, for the next period of time, the two of us will follow you!"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said, "I have already planned it. Why don't we set off now?"

"Good!"

Xiao Churan took Fei Kexin and Kelly Wearstler around Jin Ling for a whole day, her feet were blistered, but she was still full of energy.

Not only because Kelly Wearstler was her idol, but also because along the way, she heard a lot about An Chengxi's legendary experience.

After hearing more, Xiao Churan even felt that if she continued to listen, she would change her life idol from Kelly Wearstler to An Chengxi, who had passed away twenty years ago.

And she was completely unaware that this legendary woman was actually her husband's mother.

When she returned home, Xiao Churan had just sat on the sofa, and she was already sore all over.

Ye Chen saw her take off her socks, and there were several blisters on her feet, so he couldn't help but feel a bit distressed and said, "Wife, what did you do all day? How did you get so many blisters?"

Xiao Churan smiled shyly and said, "I was stupid today, forgot to wear sneakers, and took them to visit several scenic spots, walking more than 20,000 steps..."

As she spoke, she smiled foolishly, "It's okay, it will definitely be much better if I change into sneakers tomorrow!"

Ye Chen blurted out, "Your feet are like this, are you still going to visit tomorrow?"

Xiao Churan nodded and said seriously, "Of course I have to go! Husband, you don't know, following Ms. Zhan and Ms. Wearstler, I can really learn a lot of things. I feel that I am not from the same world as them. Many things they said, I haven't even heard of."

Ye Chen asked helplessly, "Wife, it's the information age now, everything spreads very fast. Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?"

Xiao Churan said seriously, "Husband, many things they talked about regarding the American upper-class society are things I have never heard of. I used to think that the richest people in the United States were Bill Gates, but after listening to them, I realized that the truly rich people don't show their wealth at all. Bill Gates' assets in the United States might not even be in the top 10."

Ye Chen smiled, "Isn't this a very normal thing? Let alone those top wealthy people, even if Xiao Changgan and Qian Hongyan have money in their pockets, they dare not let Old Mrs. Xiao know. But anyone who has the ability to hide wealth definitely tries their best to cover up their wealth. As for those on the Forbes list, the reason they are on the list is mainly because most of them are bosses of listed companies or even multiple listed companies. Listed companies are required to disclose financial data, so how much they hold is clear at a glance."

"That's true..." Xiao Churan stuck out her tongue and said, "Maybe I have never paid attention to these before, so my cognition is still stuck in the news and newspapers 10 years ago. After listening to them, I realized that it seems this world is far more complicated than I imagined!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and agreed, "The complexity of this world probably exceeds the imagination of most people. However, for ordinary people like us, knowing too much doesn't make much sense. What we really need to do is to manage our own lives well. As for the rest, at most, we can treat them as after-dinner talk, chat about them to relieve boredom, and that's about it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Wife, you sit for a while, I'll go get you a basin of warm water to soak your feet, which will help relieve your fatigue and blisters."

That's what he said, but Ye Chen also knew that soaking feet was just treating the symptoms but not the root cause, so he planned to use the name of soaking feet to thoroughly solve it for her with a little spiritual energy.

Xiao Churan smiled and said, "Thank you, husband! My feet are really ruined, I can only trouble my husband to help..."

Ye Chen smiled, "What is this, you just wait obediently."

After speaking, Ye Chen came to the bathroom, brought a basin of warm water for Xiao Churan, infiltrated a little spiritual energy into the water, returned, placed the basin under her feet, and said to Xiao Churan, "Come on, wife, put your feet in and soak for a while."

Xiao Churan nodded and said shyly, "Thank you, husband!"

Ye Chen smiled dotingly, "When have you been so polite to your husband."

As he spoke, Ye Chen said with some distress, "You, don't pay too much attention to that Kelly Wearstler, and don't pay attention to the stories they tell that have nothing to do with us. We are just ordinary people, just live our own lives well."

Xiao Churan nodded very seriously and said, "Actually, I have always warned myself like this. This kind of talk is just to listen to, don't delve into it too much, and don't substitute yourself too much..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Churan said with a very serious expression, "However, today I heard them talk about a strong woman I had never heard of before, but who was very, very powerful. After listening to her deeds, I was really shocked! I instantly felt that a small person like me who has no ambition, compared with such a radiant person, is simply too insignificant..."

Ye Chen asked with a smile, "What kind of strong woman is so powerful that even my wife started to doubt herself?"

Xiao Churan said seriously, "This strong woman is named An Chengxi, a Chinese-American. Husband, have you heard of her story?"
