Chapter 363: Chapter 363 Crying Like a Fool_1
“Shen Yishu?”
What’s going on today, bumping into acquaintances everywhere in the park.
“Get in the car!”
“Uh… I’d like to walk around outside a bit more!”
I don’t feel like going ho right now, nor do I want to go anywhere else.
“Get in, I need your help with sothing!”
“Help?”
“Yeah… get in!”
“Oh, okay!”
I opened the passenger door and got in.
While I was buckling up, Shen Yishu turned his head to look at ,
“I heard that Ding Yinuo got back from treatnt?”
“Mhm!”
I responded indifferently.
He nodded,
“So, the favor I’m going to ask, should I inform Ding Yinuo about it first?”
“What help do you need?”
“It’s just… sigh, those relatives back ho, including my parents, they keep trying to set up on blind dates. They say that back in our hotown, at my age, people are already married with kids. So they have been pressuring , I’ve refused many tis, but they don’t give up, they keep bringing those girls to over and over again.”
Seeing the troubled expression on Shen Yishu’s face, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter,
“Then why don’t you just listen to your parents and find a partner?”
Shen Yishu shook his head,
“No one else knows, but you’re aware. My career is on the rise right now. I don’t have the ti or energy to date, let alone manage a family. Moreover, marrying soone I don’t love would definitely not make happy.”
I casually asked a few more questions,
“How’s your work going?”
“It’s on the rise. After this period of developnt, the market is getting bigger. I’m planning to expand to the national market. The company is growing, we’ve been recruiting these past few days.”
Shen Yishu spoke with ease, and I listened attentively, later giving him so constructive suggestions.
“So, how exactly do you want to help you?”
“Just pretend to be my girlfriend later on, and help fend off my parents and those relatives.”
“? Are we a good match?”
“What’s not a good match?”
“It’s just that I’m much older, maybe you should ask Jia Yuyan for help?”
“That’s not great, I’m not very familiar with Miss Jia, and it’s also too late to bother her now. Since you happen to be free, it’s just a small favor, not like we’re having a real relationship.”
“Alright, then fine… please take back to Xishan Residence first; I’ll change my clothes!”
“Sure!”
I noticed that Shen Yishu was getting more adept at driving, his car quietly weaving through the city lights.
I glanced out at the crowd through the car window. Could one of those fleeting figures be Gu Yuanzhou?
Oh, there couldn’t be!
He’s dead!
I gripped the folder in my hand tighter but lacked the courage to open it.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Xishan Residence.
After getting out, I went inside to change clothes.
The living room was tidy and clean, with fresh flowers arranged on the table, awaiting Ding Yinuo.
I changed into a dress, applied so light makeup, trying to make myself look more vibrant.
Shen Yishu was on the phone in the living room.
When I ca out, he ended the call and looked at deeply.
“Uh, what’s the matter? Is there a problem? Is my makeup too thick?”
Shen Yishu, just getting off the phone, scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly,
“Xiaoyun, you really are beautiful!”
“Stop it right there, don’t let your mind wander to so not-so-pure thoughts. Co on, get ready to go.”
“Of course, of course, shall we go? Do you need to carry your bag?”
“No need!”
After leaving the house, Shen Yishu asked ,
“If I’m not mistaken, Ding Yinuo is back, right?”
I settled into the car and responded indifferently, “Yeah!”
Shen Yishu started the car, his hands on the steering wheel, and asked ,
“Then why isn’t he staying at Xishan Residence?”
Anyone with eyes could tell that only I lived in Xishan Residence, without Ding Yinuo in sight.
“Uh, he’s staying with his parents first!”
I tried to downplay it as much as possible.
Shen Yishu seed to sense sothing, but he didn’t pry further and instead started telling jokes.
Shen Yishu had truly matured a lot from the sowhat naive and silly young guy into a mature man.
He even knew how to cheer up now—truly rare.
Throughout the ride, we laughed and chatted, and he managed to distract , significantly lifting my spirits.
Lately, Shen Yishu had indeed made so money and bought a spacious flat in a nearby upscale neighborhood.
The house ca with interior decoration, a cozy three-bedroom…
As soon as I entered, I was t with stares from everyone.
There were many guests, including Shen Yishu’s parents and so relatives from his hotown.
Shen Yishu introduced to his parents with ease, “Mom, Dad, this is Xiaoyun, my girlfriend.”
“Ah, what a beautiful girl! So elegant and delicate… much prettier than that ngyan from before.”
The relatives encircled , showering with complints, making feel quite embarrassed.
“Young lady, co, co, sit here. Where do you work? What’s your job? What do your parents do? Are they retired? Do you have any siblings?”
These were standard questions from the matchmaking market, which I answered according to the standard responses.
After all, my visit today was just to fulfill a role…
Shen Yishu was busy serving tea and water, his face always sporting a radiant smile.
Shen’s mother held my hand and looked over,
“Ah, a bit skinny!”
Shen Yishu laughed and said,
“She’s on a diet! Mom, nowadays girls all value being slim as beautiful, the thinner, the better.”
Shen’s mother pursed her lips,
“Too skinny isn’t good, it makes childbearing difficult!”
“That’s not a problem at all, isn’t it easy to gain weight? She can just eat more in the future.”
Shen Yishu smoothly deflected for .
“By the way, when do you two plan to get married, and how much dowry do you need?”
Shen’s mother was very direct, seemingly eager to have a grandchild.
“Uh, about that question, I think it’s better for you to ask Yishu. I can’t answer it.”
This old lady was quite sothing, with endless questions, and I was struggling to cope, so I directly passed them on to Shen Yishu to avoid any mistakes.
Shen Yishu pulled his mother to the side,
“Mom, go make so ginger tea in the kitchen… Xiaoyun and I have just started dating; asking too much will scare her away.”
“Oh, alright then!”
Finally, Shen’s mother left, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
After the initial excitent, everyone began to settle down.
Shen Yishu brought lots of snacks and cut fruit from his room…
During a trip to the restroom, when I returned, I overheard a relative ntion Ye ngyan, “Speaking of that Ye girl, wasn’t she Yishu’s childhood sweetheart? Why did they break up?”
These few people hadn’t seen , so their conversation was quite heated…
“They broke up a long ti ago! Apparently, she ran off with a wealthy man nad Gu.”
“Really? That girl seed so innocent. I’ve seen her a few tis. I know her parents from our village.”
“That girl is really foolish, not marrying into the Shen family but instead running off with a wealthy man. As if soone with money would take her seriously.”
“She’s not the least bit foolish. I heard it from her mother; there was a ti when this man was being pursued, got seriously injured, and it was her mother who saved his life. That man owes the Ye family a life, so naturally, he would treat their daughter well.”
