Chapter 142 – 143: The Greedy Mother
“No!” Chen Zihan shook her head and said, “I still hope he can go to university.”
“Why?” Yang Xiaoyan furrowed her brows and then said, “Your mom already said this, and you still want him to go to university? The urgent matter is to quickly et your mom’s requirents.”
“Xiao Han’s grades are so good, he will definitely be able to get into a good university!” Chen Zihan earnestly said, “If he can graduate from a major dostic university, I believe his future achievents will absolutely not be just this little.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoyan seed to think there was so truth to it.
“But…” Yang Xiaoyan furrowed her brows and then said, “But if that happens, won’t you have to part ways?”
“Perhaps, parting is only temporary,” Chen Zihan shook her head.
“Then… will you tell him?” Yang Xiaoyan asked.
“No!” Chen Zihan shook her head and said, “I can’t tell him. I definitely can’t tell him, I’m afraid he will be heartbroken, I’m afraid he will be upset. If it affects his grades, wouldn’t that be a betrayal to him?”
“Oh, you girl, why do you always think of others first?” Yang Xiaoyan furrowed her brows.
“What should we do?” Chen Zihan wiped away tears.
At that mont, Xiao Han walked over from afar, carrying a backpack, his expression also seed sowhat grave. Yang Xiaoyan saw it from a distance as Chen Zihan walked toward them. She hurriedly said, “He’s here, Xiao Han is here!”
“Mhm.” Chen Zihan nodded, then, she walked forward to et Xiao Han.
Xiao Han showed a slight smile and then said, “Zi Han, why are you here?”
“I’m here waiting for you!” Chen Zihan’s eyes were red.
“Waiting for ?” Xiao Han was slightly stunned, but he quickly rembered sothing. He glanced at her and then said, “Did your mom talk to you?”
“Exactly!” Yang Xiaoyan quickly interjected and then said, “Xiao Han, do you know how embarrassed you made Chen Zihan feel?”
“What happened?” Xiao Han frowned.
“The Chen family has already spoken,” Yang Xiaoyan started, “If you want to be with Chen Zihan, you must first buy an apartnt, and then get ready a car worth more than two hundred thousand. That’s just the basic requirent.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Han asked.
“Don’t listen to her,” Chen Zihan shook her head and then said, “I have never demanded that of you. I just hope you can love , that’s enough.”
“Fool, of course I love you!” Xiao Han nodded.
Chen Zihan’s eyes turned red, she threw herself into Xiao Han’s arms, and then said, “I love you too, I hope I can always be with you!”
Xiao Han could feel Chen Zihan’s body trembling, likewise, he could also feel Chen Zihan crying. Xiao Han gently patted Chen Zihan’s body, soothing her with a soft voice, “Don’t worry, everything will get better.”
“Mhm!” Chen Zihan nodded.
Outside, many people were curiously staring at them. Among the crowd, many were making a ruckus. However, faced with the jeering crowd, Xiao Han didn’t care, nor did he mind. Chen Zihan also didn’t care.
Yang Xiaoyan shouted, “What are you looking at? Hurry back to class.”
“Yang Xiaoyan, it’s none of your damn business!” soone in the crowd shouted back opportunely.
“Fuck, who said it’s none of her business?” At that mont, Li Dapang squeezed out of the crowd.
The crowd imdiately quieted down, no one dared to make a sound anymore. They all fell silent. Li Dapang sneered, then said, “Who said so, co on stand up for straight away. Fuck, believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now.”
The crowd imdiately dispersed. Everyone ran back to their own classrooms.
Xiao Han pulled Chen Zihan into the classroom. The two of them sat next to each other, shoulder to shoulder. Chen Zihan was sowhat aggrieved, and of course, this grievance ca from the pressure of her family. So, Chen Zihan appeared rather sad and morose.
Xiao Han lowered his head, he softly said, “Is what Yang Xiaoyan said true?”
“Mhm!” Chen Zihan nodded and then said, “It’s true.”
“Then…” Xiao Han was stunned and said, “If I buy an apartnt, get a car worth two hundred thousand, will your mom agree to us being together?”
“No!” Chen Zihan shook her head and then said, “My mom is just intentionally putting an obstacle in your way. In fact, even if you et her demands and conditions, she will not agree. Because her standards are very high, she doesn’t want to reveal her true inner thoughts, otherwise, people will only think she is a greedy mother.”
“I understand!” Xiao Han imdiately nodded.
Aunt Chen had already known about Xiao Han’s family condition, so, she thought an apartnt was enough to overwhelm Xiao Han’s family. If he also bought a car worth two hundred thousand, it would completely block Xiao Han out. But, in reality? Aunt Chen’s appetite was not just that, she wanted far more than these. Far more terrifying than these.
The greed of human nature was far more frightening than imagined. With the superior family condition of the Chen family, she certainly didn’t want her daughter to find a family worse than her own.
“So…” Chen Zihan said, her head lowered.
“What should we do?” Xiao Han asked.
“It’s okay.” Chen Zihan shook her head and said, “There’s still a lot of ti, I will try my best to persuade her. Moreover, once you achieve outstanding results in your college entrance exam, I believe she will agree to us being together.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Han felt slightly reassured. It seed that he could only make a big effort on the college entrance exam. Only by achieving excellent results could he gain the approval of the Chen family.
A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Han’s mouth as he said, “I understand!”
“Work hard!” Chen Zihan said earnestly, “Perhaps, this is the only way to gain my mother’s approval.”
“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded.
……
Five Thousand Years Entertainnt Club.
In the bottom right corner of that huge sign, there was a small golden inscription. It clearly read: Sifang International.
Sifang International, founded by Liu Si, belonged to a publicly listed company and was stronger in market value than ida Group. Sifang International was currently in a stable developnt phase, with several businesses under its umbrella, including a chemical plant and a brand clothing store. In LJ City, Sifang International also owned an office building nad after the group.
An eighteen-story building, its facade embedded with blue glass. At the top of the building, four large characters: Sifang International!
Office on the fifth floor of the Five Thousand Years Entertainnt Club.
“Fourth Master, why did you agree to that young man?” Li Shan curiously asked, “Forty-nine percent of the stocks in Hann Technology aren’t worth twenty million. This… we’re at too much of a loss!”
“Hehe…” Liu Si chuckled and then said, “Loss or not, I know what I’m doing!”
“This…” Li Shan looked at Liu Si in surprise, then said, “Fourth Master, our money didn’t just wash up on the shore.”
“Twenty million isn’t much for us!” Liu Si smiled slightly and then said, “But for Xiao Han, that amount is astronomical. I’m curious what he can achieve with this money. If he ets my expectations, then I might add more to my investnt.”
“Sss…”
Li Shan sucked in a breath of cold air, then said, “My Fourth Master, even if you add more investnt, Xiao Han won’t possibly give you any shares.”
“What does that matter?” Liu Si shook his head and then said, “That’s hardly anything. If Xiao Han’s capabilities are sufficient, then he will be able to bring us enough profit, don’t you think?”
“Seems reasonable!” Li Shan nodded.
“Xiao Han is talented!” Liu Si grinned, biting into an apple and then said, “This kid is brave and strategic. A high school student, yet he managed to secure the Apple product dealership from that woman Li Xiaoya. How many people in LJ City want a piece of that lucrative deal? Yet, it was this kid who got it. So, we absolutely shouldn’t underestimate him, understand?”
“Yes!” Li Shan nodded.
“So, what has this kid been up to lately?” Liu Si asked.
“He hasn’t been up to much!” Li Shan shook his head and said, “His account increased by twenty million, but he hasn’t bought a car or a house, still living in that dilapidated building in Fuxing Community.”
“Hmm?” Liu Si paused slightly and then said, “This shows he can withstand the temptation of money, a capacity that is truly valuable. What about his company?”
“At Hann Technology, they seem to have hired a culinary agent,” Li Shan quickly said, “It looks like they’re preparing to start Hann Catering. Planning to make a splash in LJ City’s restaurant industry!”
“Haha…” Upon hearing this, Liu Si waved his hand dismissively and said, “You’re exaggerating. It’s impossible to make a mark on LJ City’s restaurant scene without a couple of hundred million. Just with those twenty million, it’s definitely not possible to make a significant impact on LJ City.”
“True that!” Li Shan nodded.
At that mont, Liu Si smiled and said, “I’m quite looking forward to seeing what Xiao Han can do.”
“Fourth Master, don’t set your expectations too high,” Li Shan chuckled, “Perhaps it’s just luck for Xiao Han.”
“Success once is luck, success twice is strength,” Liu Si smiled and said, “A mule or a horse, taken out for a stroll will show what it can do. So, for now, let’s just wait and see.”
“Yes!” Li Shan nodded.
Liu Si was very interested in Xiao Han. Of course, what interested him even more was why Brother Bao would go out of his way at all costs to save Xiao Han. Initially, if it wasn’t for him leading his n to storm the Five Thousand Years Entertainnt Club, Xiao Han might have ended up with a broken arm. Thinking back, it seed there wasn’t much connection between Brother Bao and Xiao Han.
Yet, what exactly was the relationship between the two?
Liu Si was extrely curious.
“By the way, have you figured out what exactly is the relationship between Xiao Han and Leopard?” Liu Si asked.
“Not yet!” Li Shan shook his head and said, “The relationship is hidden too deeply. Our people embedded with Brother Bao have completely failed to dig up any clues!”
