Chapter 1287: You’ve High Standards Because You’ve Set Your Sights on a Rich, Handso Man
Everyone was busy buying new year goods since the lunar new year was coming to an end.
He Xiyan went out to buy new year goods on the third day after returning to her hotown.
She brought so of her favorite snacks, such as purple potato fries, caralized lon seeds, sandwich cookies, and 1 kilogram of mandarin oranges. Then, she headed to the market to do so grocery shopping.
She lived alone and didn’t eat a lot, so there was no need for her to buy new year goods in bulk. After all, she wouldn’t receive any guests at ho over the new year.
She had many relatives including two uncles and one aunt on her paternal side of the family, an aunt and an uncle on her maternal side of her family. Her maternal grandparents were still alive as well but her relatives hardly ever contacted her. They didn’t seem to want anything to do with her ever since her mother passed away.
She knew that they were afraid that she’d borrow money from them to further her studies.
She found it ridiculous because although she had borrowed quite a bit of money, she had never once approached her relatives for money.
She still rembered that when her mother was in a critical condition in the hospital, she had approached her relatives to borrow money but not one of them had been willing to lend her a single cent. Her aunt and uncle would sneak out of the backdoor and pretend that they were busy whenever she visited.
Their actions left her feeling bitterly disappointed because her parents had treated their siblings extrely well.
This was especially true for her maternal uncle. Her mother had lent over 300,000 dollars that the family received as the insurance payout from her father’s car accident to that uncle to buy a house. However, her uncle had refused to return the money even when he knew how critically ill her mother was. He even reneged on his promise to lend her money to continue her education.
She felt extrely angry whenever she thought of her uncle’s detestable face.
She resolved to head over to his place the next day and urge him to return the funds.
She would go to her uncle’s place every year even though she knew that he didn’t have any intention of returning the money.
She whipped up a delicious spread of braised carp and chicken with chestnut for herself after she returned ho. She was always eating vegetarian food on campus and had almost forgotten what at tasted like.
She placed the food on the table and scooped a bowl of rice for herself.
She sat at a leisurely but her enjoynt of the al was interrupted almost 30 minutes later with a phone call.
It was a call from a male classmate. He was Chen Shaoping, soone who was very active in the student community.
“Hello...” she said as she brought her phone to her ear.
Soon, she heard him laugh as he said, “He Xiyan, I’ve got the information you wanted on that handso man. His na is Mo Yixuan and he’s from Ye City. He seems to have studied at Harvard before and has returned to Ye City for reasons that I’ve yet to find out. He’s currently undertaking his Master’s at our university. I’ve even obtained his current address that has been sent to you via text. Oh yes! He’s very popular with the ladies...so you must decide whether you’d be able to win his heart. Ha ha... there’s always if you’re rejected!”
He convulsed in laughter.
He Xiyan’s face burned bright red and the fact that soone else was privy to her thoughts made her feel extrely embarrassed and awkward.
She remained silent for a long while.
“Thank you...” she said as she finally thanked him.
“Ha ha...no worries. You’ve got really high standards and you’ve set your sights on a tall, rich, and handso man!” he said with a laugh.
She didn’t know how to react.
Her face burned with embarrassnt and there were no words to describe how awkward she felt.
She hastily thanked him once more and hung up.
Then, she opened up her WeChat application and saw the address details that Chen Shaoping had sent across.
