Chapter 436: Deng Chung's Past
Hearing the buffet was opened, Zhang Jian instantly perked up as he got up from the table.
"Well! You know where I'm going to go!"
"Don't go crazy." Lu Chen warned. However, it didn't seem like Zhang Jian heard as he rushed to the buffet in a second! Hunger, greed, and desire. All of these emotions Zhang Jian held back were for this moment!
"..." I think I need to ask the trainer and dieticians to do more. Lu Chen could only shake his head at how Zhang Jian ate. He went in there like tomorrow was his last day on earth!
He could imagine his stomach was going to blot up.
"Mr. Lu. Just let this happen. He's done a lot of work today." Deng Chung sat next to him.
"Yeah, but it will be even more work after he eats all that." Lu Chen laughed.
"Mr.Lu, thank you for all your help today. If it weren't for you stepping in, there would be a lot of problems."
But Lu Chen shook it off, "You don't need to thank me. I've only done what was needed to help my company." If something went wrong with this, then ARCS would be affected too.
"But you didn't have to do anything either."
"It's fine. And can you quit it with Mr.Lu? Just call me Lu Chen." Being called by someone of the same age made it weird.
Deng Chung nodded, "Then I'll call you Lu Chen."
"Mmmhmm."
"And you can call me Zhang Jian too!" Zhang Jian came back from the buffet line. And in each hand was a ton of food. And his mouth was too.
"..." Are you seriously going to eat all of that? Lu Chen grabbed his head, thinking about the training that would happen in the future.
"Sure." Deng Chung laughed.
"Seriously, you're nothing like Deng Haoren. How did he become like that while you came out like this." Zhang Jian knew about Deng Haoren.
And he was speechless at how different the two were.
"Zhang Jian!" Lu Chen screamed out. Don't you know what personal means?!
"I don't mind talking about it." Deng Chung smiled, "I think my father told you about how I'm the son of a mistress, right?"
"Mmhmm." Lu Chen nodded his head. He heard all of this from Deng Haoren.
Deng Chung and Deng Yi were half-brothers.
"..." Zhang Jian stayed silent.
I get it. Lu Chen had an inkling the moment Deng Haoren told him he was the son of the mistress.
"We have two different upbringings. Deng Yi was given everything he wanted at a young age. So he became what he is now."
"And you?" Lu Chen said calmly.
"Lu Chen, you should have read novels before." Like in most novels, the mistress would be treated horribly.
"My mom and I were treated more like servants. My father's family treated us like the plague. Well, at least my father treated me normally." Deng Chung sighed in relief. The only reason why Deng Chung could live as smoothly as he could was because of Deng Haoren.
"I see." Similar to a certain someone. Lu Chen looked at Zhang Jian. Unlike him, who was born with a golden spoon, Zhang Jian was the most similar to him.
"And that's about the jest of it. That was why I lived much better than Deng Yi." Deng Chung laughed as he rubbed his head.
Zhang Jian chugged down the drink in his hand. It surprised Deng Chung to see how he acted like this. He finished it in 2 gulps!
"Don't worry! You're not alone in this! I totally get your feeling!" Zhang Jian quickly wrapped his hand around his shoulders.
Hah. Lu Chen grabbed his head as he looked at how he acted. You know he's giving you a confused look.
