Chapter 123: Chapter 122: Securing Position by Acquiring Dragon Seed
“The boy who just ca to the house, is he Xuewei’s boyfriend?”
Guests had arrived at Su Xuewei’s house, among them Zhang i, who sat beside Mother Su and curiously asked.
Mother Su shook her head, “I don’t know either, Xuewei hasn’t ntioned anything to .”
Zhang i glanced at Xuewei, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and whispered mysteriously, “That boy seems pretty wealthy. The car he drove here tonight costs two to three million.”
“Ah?”
“That expensive?”
Mother Su’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes.”
Zhang i said confidently, “If Xuewei can end up with him, it could improve your and Xiaojie’s living conditions too, so you really should have a good talk with Xuewei about it.”
Mother Su slightly recovered from her shock, then pondered Zhang i’s words.
She knew Zhang i ant well for their family; she often helped out, like checking in when Xuewei ca ho late.
When Xuewei didn’t have ti to buy groceries, Zhang i would pick them up while at the market.
Of course, Xuewei would sotis tutor her daughter in return during the weekends.
But this was her daughter’s own affair, and Mother Su didn’t want to make decisions for her.
She couldn’t help looking towards her busy daughter in the kitchen and remarked, “This is a matter of a lifeti. I don’t want Xuewei to marry soone she doesn’t like just for and Xiaojie; we’ve already burdened her enough.”
“How is that a burden?”
Zhang i disagreed, “How do you know whether Xuewei likes that boy or not?”
“That boy must be interested, after all, he’s co to visit our ho.”
Mother Su smiled bitterly; she too wished to improve their ho conditions but using her daughter’s future as paynt was too high a price, thus she responded, “I’ll ask Xuewei later.”
Zhang i nodded, “Mm, make sure to talk to her properly about it.”
Just then another neighbor appeared at the door, the very gossipy one. She leaned against the doorway, cracking sunflower seeds, and scoffed, “You all really dare to dream, just because a guy cos to sit, you’re already considering him a potential partner.”
Zhang i retorted, “If he has co to the house, he must be interested.”
The gossip snorted, “Even if he had any such intents initially, seeing the state of your house now, who knows what he might think?”
“What’s wrong with the house, he isn’t blind.”
Annoyed, Zhang i replied, “Zeng Lianfeng, can’t you keep your nasty mouth shut?”
“Oh, starting to bite back now, are you? I can’t be bothered with you.”
Called Zeng Lianfeng rolled her eyes, smacked her hands together to get rid of the sunflower seed shells, then strutted away arrogantly.
“Don’t mind that woman; she’s just hung up on that old matter, which is why she’s talking like this.”, Zhang i turned to reassure.
“It’s okay.”
Mother Su shook her head; she had already grown too accustod to such cold remarks over the years.
At one point, Zeng Lianfeng’s son had taken an interest in Xuewei and ca to propose marriage, which Mother Su had declined.
Her son was a thug, a school dropout since middle school, always causing trouble outside. Now at twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he still had no proper job and lived off his parents.
She wouldn’t send her daughter into a pit of fire.
“Honestly, Zeng Lianfeng really has no clue; her son barely past middle school education, practically semi-illiterate, while Xuewei is a talented graduate from Nanzhong University. How can she even think it?” Zhang i said indignantly.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Mother Su shook her head with a sigh; she knew why Zeng Lianfeng dared to try.
Xuewei’s father had died in a workplace accident five years ago, leaving the family without its main support. Moreover, she had fractured her leg in a car accident the year before.
All in all, the family was dealing with one death, one cripple, and a small child.
Zeng Lianfeng had seen their predicant and thus dared to propose marriage.
After Zhang i left, not long after, Su Xuewei finished washing the dishes and ca out. She squatted in front of her mother and softly said, “Mom, let help you bathe.”
Mother Su shook her head, gazing tenderly at Su Xuewei, “Wait a minute, I have sothing to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“That young man who ca over this afternoon, what is your relationship with him?”
“He’s a major client of our company. He gave a ride ho from the construction site today,” Su Xuewei honestly replied.
Zhang i smiled, “Tell the truth, does this client have feelings for you?”
Su Xuewei’s cheeks flushed, unsure how to explain, for she wasn’t certain whether Shen Yuan had any such feelings.
Besides, the last ti they had a al together, the beautiful woman beside him seed like his girlfriend.
With this thought, Su Xuewei shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“What about you?” Mother Su asked further.
Su Xuewei thought for a mont but still shook her head, “I don’t think it’s to the extent of liking.”
Mother Su reached out to gently stroke her daughter’s hair, softly saying, “You heard what Aunt Zhang said just now, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I heard.”
“Don’t take it to heart. Don’t force yourself, and don’t put pressure on yourself.”
Mother Su looked at her kindly, “Mom hopes you will be happy in the future, and not just marry into a good family for and your brother.”
Girls are inherently sentintal, and upon hearing her mother say this, Su Xuewei’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten.
Mother Su sighed, “Xuewei, our family has already indebted you so much.”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuewei could not hold back her tears, which started dripping down from her fair cheeks.
Mother Su looked down and said with pity, “Silly child, why cry?”
“Big sister, what’s wrong?”
Su Jingjie was doing his howork when he heard the sobbing sounds and hurriedly ran over, “Big sister, why are you crying? Did soone bully you?”
At this point, Su Xuewei’s crying intensified, but after the consolation from Mother Su and her brother, it took a while for her to stop sobbing and lift her head with a firm gaze, “Mom, don’t worry, I will be happy.”
anwhile, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Liew nglu looked at Shen Yuan tenderly, “Husband, is that okay?”
Ever since the best friends had “catered to” the sa man, they had less direct contact and only knew about each other through Hou Qianqian.
Liew nglu heard recently that Chen Na was going to have Shen Yuan’s baby, and she was restless knowing that Chen Na was preparing for pregnancy.
It didn’t matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as soon as the baby was born, Nana’s position would be firmly secured.
Therefore, Liew nglu wasn’t willing to fall behind and also wanted to have Shen Yuan’s child to secure her own position.
anwhile, Liew nglu kept flicking her fingertips continuously.
This Coach Liew probably didn’t realize the consequences of her actions.
Shen Yuan took a sharp breath and managed to control his desire, “That won’t do, you’re my number one favorite concubine. If you got pregnant, wouldn’t I be unable to have you for a year?”
“It’s not like it’s impossible during pregnancy.”
Coach Liew grabbed his hand and slid it inside her robe, “This too is possible.”
Then she pointed at her mouth, “This here is also possible.”
Shen Yuan chuckled teasingly, “That won’t do, those two places can’t spray, not exciting enough.”
“You nasty jerk!”
Liew nglu retorted coquettishly.
However, she knew Shen Yuan’s words were a tactful refusal, and she no longer insisted, believing there would be future opportunities to bear Shen Yuan’s children.
Of course, Shen Yuan didn’t want Coach Liew to have his child, as her ample ‘headlights’ held a lot of appeal, and he hadn’t had enough of them yet.
Besides, such a ‘squirter’ was a rare find.
Moreover, if she and Nana got pregnant at the sa ti, it would an that the only fixed NPC left would be the class belle.
Although the class belle was brave and skilled, she couldn’t withstand the continuous assaults from the strengthened Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan thought about this, his hands moving inside the robe, shaping the soft Newtonian fluid into various forms.
Liew nglu softly moaned and involuntarily wrapped her arms around Shen Yuan’s waist…
The next day at noon, after finishing his workout, Shen Yuan, who was planning to wash up and then go ho to take Old Shen car shopping, suddenly received a call from Foo Zhengi of Guanting Renovation.
She said she wanted to discuss sothing in person, so Shen Yuan asked her to co to the Grand Hyatt Hotel’s lobby.
After washing up and eating his post-workout al half an hour later, Shen Yuan went downstairs and saw Foo Zhengi waiting in the lobby. He approached her and greeted, “What’s the matter, such urgency?”
“I apologize, Mr. Shen, for disturbing you,”
Foo Zhengi stood up, smiled apologetically, and then began to speak, “I ca here to talk about my apprentice Su Xuewei.”
Shen Yuan frowned, “Is she in so kind of trouble?”
“Nothing serious.”
“Didn’t you transfer 50,000 to her last night, and then she transferred it back to you, but you didn’t accept it?”
Shen Yuan nodded, “Yes, that did happen.”
“Don’t get the wrong idea, I found out about this today when I saw her worried at work and asked her.”
Foo Zhengi first clarified the cause and then continued earnestly, “Xuewei is not that kind of girl, transferring money to her directly makes her feel burdened, she definitely will not accept this sum, so you should just accept the paynt.”
Shen Yuan listened and almost laughed, “You ca here just to say this?”
“Yes.”
Foo Zhengi smiled, “She’s not that kind of girl, if you really want to pursue her, you might need to put in so effort.”
“Actually, that sum of money wasn’t ant that way.”
There seed to be so misunderstanding, but Shen Yuan didn’t want to explain too much to Foo Zhengi, and then said, “Talking about it now doesn’t serve any purpose, so I’ll just accept the paynt.”
Shen Yuan took out his phone to confirm the paynt. The girl even transferred an extra 200, probably as a return for the milk and fruit he bought yesterday.
Truly stubborn.
Seeing Shen Yuan accept the paynt relieved Foo Zhengi, who then prepared to leave. However, Shen Yuan stopped her, “Boss Wan hasn’t been asking Su Xuewei to accompany him for drinks and other entertainnts recently, has he?”
Foo Zhengi was montarily stunned, then smiled knowingly, “No, don’t worry about it.”
“That’s good, thanks for the hard work.”
“You’re welco.”
Foo Zhengi nodded and then left.
From her perspective, having her apprentice, Su Xuewei, be associated with Shen Yuan would have been excellent, as it would allow her to relax, and their family’s life could undergo drastic changes.
Although Mr. Shen had spent so money, from the visit and the questions he had just asked, his genuine concern for Xuewei was evident.
Unfortunately, the apprentice had the sa personality as her when she was young, stubborn with her own principles, which would not easily allow her to wholeheartedly fall for a man.
“Ah, I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.”
Foo Zhengi sighed inwardly. Nowadays, more and more won are taking shortcuts in life, unlike Xuewei, who holds her own steadfast values, making her one of a rare breed.
