Chapter 653: There’s No Marriage That Can’t Be Broken Up, Only Howreckers Who Don’t Try Hard Enough
If there’s a first ti, there’ll be a second. Shitou was confronted with Qian Xiaoi holding a child in front of him every single day. Of course, this only happened when Shitou arrived at the research lab, but it’s not like Shitou could avoid going there.
So, every ti Shitou made sure to have Xiao Shan Yue by his side. With Xiao Shan Yue around, Shitou could successfully shake off Qian Xiaoi.
But as a result, Qian Xiaoi grew to despise Xiao Shan Yue more and more, although she also knew Shitou held Xiao Shan Yue in high regard. At this point, it wouldn’t be wise to do anything to Xiao Shan Yue. After all, she might have to use Xiao Shan Yue to get close to Shitou when her niece grows up.
Qian Xiaoi had always been skilled at competing for attention since she was young and was quite cunning. Because of that, she managed to thrive in the factory, but she still didn’t like staying there — the uniforms were so unsophisticated.
Look at her now, adorned with gold and silver, wearing Xiaozi’s latest fashion, and using beauty and skincare products from Xia Xiao’s line. At the mont, Qian Xiaoi was still unaware of Xia Xiao’s and Shitou’s connection with Xiaozi.
She’d circle the outskirts of the research lab daily, but she would never get too close. Even though she had a sweet mouth and could charm people, she didn’t really respect so of the assistant researchers in the lab.
Mainly because these two assistant researchers didn’t hold high statuses and they weren’t as handso as Dr. Xi. Qian Xiaoi wanted soone better than her sister, soone more capable than her brother-in-law.
That day, Feiteng had picked up Jianjian and Kangkang from the Yu Family and was passing by Technology University, so he called Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao had just finished her work and was ready to leave the office.
Upon hearing that Feiteng was nearby, Xia Xiao called Shitou to pick up Feiteng.
Once Feiteng’s car passed the campus security check, he smoothly drove in. As soon as he parked and got out of the car, Jianjian and Kangkang ran towards Shitou.
"Brother Shitou."
Shitou smiled and greeted Feiteng as he got out of the car, "Little Uncle."
Qian Xiaoi, who followed, opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Isn’t that the president of Gaoxia Group?"
Then, she tugged at Xiao Shan Yue, "Is that the president of Gaoxia Group?"
Xiao Shan Yue looked puzzled, "Little Aunt, I don’t know."
Seeing Xiao Shan Yue’s clueless deanor, Qian Xiaoi wanted to push Xi Beilei into Xiao Shan Yue’s arms, but seeing Xiao Shan Yue’s skinny arms and legs, she had no choice but to rush up holding Xi Beilei herself.
"President Gao, is it? I’ve seen your interviews on TV."
Feiteng glanced at Qian Xiaoi, who was holding the child, and nodded. Shitou looked at Qian Xiaoi’s gleaming eyes, her excited deanor, and couldn’t help but facepalm.
"President Gao, I’m a fan of yours. Could you give an autograph, or no, let’s take a picture together?" Qian Xiaoi was clearly excited, holding Xi Beilei so tightly in her arms.
Feiteng looked at Shitou, wanting to know who this woman was. In Feiteng’s eyes, Qian Xiaoi, clutching a child, was simply a woman, and her impulsive confrontation, that look of wanting to rush over with a child in arms, couldn’t help but put Feiteng on guard.
Shitou said, "Little Uncle, this is Dr. Xi’s little aunt, Xiao Shan Yue’s step-aunt’s sister."
With that, Shitou took Feiteng’s hand and walked away, "Little Uncle, let take you to grandma’s."
"Hey, hey, President Gao, I’m your fan!" Qian Xiaoi, seeing Feiteng about to leave, couldn’t help but get anxious.
But neither Shitou nor Feiteng paid any heed. Jianjian looked at Qian Xiaoi and said, "Auntie, the child in your arms is about to cry."
"Yeah, and it’s about to fall off." Kangkang nodded his head.
"She didn’t cry," Qian Xiaoi said, as she was about to catch up.
Kangkang pinched Xi Beilei’s exposed foot, and with a loud ’waah’, Xi Beilei cried earth-shatteringly. Kangkang said, "Look, she’s crying now."
Jianjian said, "Yeah, she’s crying quite pitifully. How can you as a mother not care about your child?"
"I’m not her mother, I am her..." Qian Xiaoi hurriedly tried to explain.
"I know, you are her nanny." After Jianjian finished speaking, he took Kangkang’s hand and said, "Let’s go find Grandma."
Qian Xiaoi couldn’t catch up anymore, now she could only coax Xi Beilei. Assistant Qian always spoiled Xi Beilei, who had quite the temper. Without proper coddling, her crying would not cease.
Qian Xiaoi felt stifled; she had finally seen the man of her dreams, only to have her plans ruined by her niece.
"What are you looking at? Your little sister is crying; don’t you know how to comfort her as her big sister?" Qian Xiaoi lashed out at Xiao Shan Yue.
Xiao Shan Yue said with a wronged expression, "But you told not to get close to her."
Qian Xiaoi glared at Xiao Shan Yue, then, rembering that Xiao Shan Yue and Shitou were close, she asked, "Is that President Gao just now the younger uncle of Gao Peize?"
Xiao Shan Yue nodded, and Qian Xiaoi’s eyes lit up even brighter. As for Jianjian and Kangkang, she had already dismissed them from her mind.
Thinking that she had the chance to get close to the perfect man of her dreams, Qian Xiaoi was extrely excited. With her dream lover within reach, all those researchers and professors were thrown to the back of her mind.
As long as she could be with President Gao, she would have the entire Gaoxia Group at her disposal, and she would certainly live a wealthier and more luxurious life than her sister.
In Qian Xiaoi’s opinion, what was so great about being a doctor or a researcher? They still lived poor and bookish lives. It was better to marry a wealthy man and be a young lady in a rich household, living in a grand mansion, chauffeured around, wearing any jewelry she wanted, discarding designer clothes after wearing them just once, enjoying the most lavish of als, feasting on bird’s nest and sea cucumber until she could eat no more...
Qian Xiaoi could already see her future transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix. She was lost in this fantasy, murmuring to herself, "I’m going to marry President Gao."
Xiao Shan Yue looked at Qian Xiaoi like this, thinking four words, "Delusional daydreams."
"Little aunt, Brother Shitou’s younger uncle is already married, Jianjian and Kangkang are Brother Shitou’s younger uncle’s children," Xiao Shan Yue reminded her.
"What does that have to do with anything? The person I like is him," Qian Xiaoi said, oblivious to Xiao Shan Yue’s comprehension. She didn’t take Feiteng’s marriage or his having children seriously.
In her mind, there was no couple that couldn’t be split up, just mistresses who didn’t try hard enough, just like her older sister.
Qian Xiaoi had seen Xiao Shan Yue’s mother before, a stunning beauty. Yet her sister, who was quite plain – not even as pretty as her – had managed to push away Shanyue’s beautiful mother.
The successful example of Assistant Qian deeply influenced Qian Xiaoi. In her heart, she was set on marrying a wealthy man, as she did not want to relive the poverty of her childhood.
Being one of the youngest siblings in a family with many children, and with the Qian family’s resources all spent on financing Assistant Qian’s university education, accumulating considerable debt – although it was now repaid – her impoverished early years had a lasting impact on Qian Xiaoi.
Before, when hesitating between an assistant researcher and a professor, Qian Xiaoi felt that an assistant researcher or a professor didn’t make much money. Didn’t she see her brother-in-law still living in cramped university housing?
Qian Xiaoi refused to live in university dormitories; she wanted to reside in grand mansions. President Gao, she was determined to pursue him.
