Chapter 115: Any New Moves Tonight?
TL: YYang
“Thank you for the reminder, cousin-in-law. I don’t think my future will be difficult.”
Fang Minhui replied coolly.
She knew that Zhang Zhen had graduated from Tanda University, so from the very beginning, he had been looking at them through colored glasses, looking down on those who studied at second-tier universities.
This was also normal. The gap between a Double First-Class university and a second-tier university was not only reflected in the quality of teaching, but the students’ self-discipline was also on a different level.
But everyone was well aware of these things. It was quite annoying to keep bringing them up. Although he was more subtle than Li Zhanpeng, she could still tell.
Especially now, without understanding the situation at all, he was confidently trying to set her up.
‘So what if he’s from Xiangda University? So what if he’s in a Fortune 500 company? None of that is worth mentioning in front of my Shen Yuan!’
“Minhui, you haven’t started working yet, so your perspective hasn’t broadened. But you’re a few years younger than us, and you’re Juanjuan’s close cousin, so I feel it’s my duty as someone with experience to remind you.”
Zhang Zhen said methodically, “The gap between a second-tier university and a key university is much larger than you imagine. Look at those Fortune 500 companies now, do they recruit from second-tier universities?”
“When you go to find a job, you can only find those small companies with average benefits and ordinary salaries. As for those large companies, forget about submitting a resume, you won’t even meet the recruitment threshold.”
“If your first job is at a small company, you can see the end of your career path at a glance, not to mention both you and your boyfriend…”
“Alright, alright, stop talking. Minhui has her own plans.”
Seeing that Zhang Zhen was going to keep nagging, Song Juan directly interrupted him.
Girls didn’t like to hear others speak ill of their boyfriends. Although Zhang Zhen was also reminding her with good intentions, he should know when to stop.
During this process, Fang Minhui smiled without saying a word, not lashing out. She was really afraid that if she told him about Shen Yuan’s situation, Zhang Zhen would be hit hard.
He was so proud of his Fortune 500 job, which was indeed good in the eyes of ordinary people, but he still had to work diligently every day and pay off the mortgage with his cousin.
And my Shen Yuan has long achieved financial freedom. He’s even taking me to buy a house this afternoon.
If Zhang Zhen was hit hard, it would inevitably hurt her cousin, which wouldn’t be good.
At the beginning of their marriage, Zhang Zhen still doted on his wife quite a bit. He patted her hand affectionately. “Alright, alright, I won’t say any more.”
“In any case, I still hope Minhui can consider things comprehensively. If you have other thoughts later, you can also tell your cousin. I’ll send you my cousin’s WeChat. His conditions are quite good in all aspects, and many people have come to his family to propose marriage.”
Fang Minhui said a faint “oh,” thinking to herself that this cousin-in-law was quite annoying. He had just said he wouldn’t say any more, and now he was adding to it.
After lunch, Fang Minhui linked arms with Song Juan and said, “Sister, you’ve been driving all morning. Go to the hotel and rest first. I have something to do this afternoon, and I might not have time tonight. If I have time tonight, I’ll go with you to Orange Isle.”
“Isn’t it Saturday today? What are you doing this afternoon?”
“My boyfriend asked me out.”
Fang Minhui had sent her location to Shen Yuan half an hour ago. He should be arriving soon.
“Is that so…”
Then, Song Juan pulled Fang Minhui aside and whispered, “Although your cousin-in-law’s words were a bit harsh, he was also doing it for your own good. You’re still in school now, so you don’t realize the practical factors, but after you start working and living, you’ll understand how cruel this world is.”
Fang Minhui knew that her cousin’s reminder was well-intentioned and nodded sincerely. “I know. Don’t worry, my boyfriend is very good to me.”
“It’s useless if he’s just good to you. You also have to look at his conditions. Otherwise, even if he wants to be good to you, he won’t have the ability,” Song Juan said earnestly.
Fang Minhui pondered for a moment and decided to just tell her cousin the truth. They would find out sooner or later anyway. So she said, “My boyfriend is actually very rich.”
“How rich?”
Song Juan suddenly became curious.
“He’s taking me to buy a house later.”
“Buy a house?!”
Song Juan’s eyes widened as she looked at Fang Minhui in disbelief. “Minhui, you can’t joke about this kind of thing!”
Fang Minhui knew she would be hurt, but there was no way around it. It was better to get it over with.
“I’m not kidding, really.”
“Minhui, what are his family’s conditions that he’s buying you a house? Although the housing prices in Star City are not as high as those in first-tier cities, a house still costs one or two million, right?”
Song Juan still didn’t believe it. Even if her cousin had found a rich second-generation boyfriend, a house couldn’t be bought so casually. A rich second-generation’s money all came from his family. To buy a house for a girlfriend before marriage, his family wouldn’t agree unless they were stupid!
Fang Minhui thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure about his family’s conditions right now, but he himself is very rich.”
Just now, Song Juan had emphasized the words “buy a house,” and Zhang Zhen had pricked up his ears upon hearing them. Now, hearing the phrase “he himself is rich,” he found it even more amusing.
‘How funny. A second-tier university student has the ability to spend one or two million to buy a house for his girlfriend?’
“Minhui, many guys nowadays have no ability but are very good at making empty promises. Don’t be fooled,” Zhang Zhen reminded from behind them.
He initially thought Song Juan’s cousin was a nice person, but now she seemed like a naive simpleton.
‘Even if you’re head over heels in love, you shouldn’t be fooled like this, right?’
Fang Minhui didn’t add anything more. She knew that no matter how she explained, the two of them wouldn’t believe it. After all, it was completely beyond their comprehension.
Song Juan stood by, worried. “Before I came, my aunt even told me to talk to you more, but…”
“My boyfriend is here.”
Fang Minhui saw the silver G-Wagen gliding over from a distance, and her face immediately bloomed into a smile.
Hearing is deceptive, seeing is believing. Once they saw it, they would naturally understand.
“Which one?”
Song Juan followed Fang Minhui’s gaze but didn’t connect it with the G-Wagen driving over from a distance. She only noticed a few university-student-looking guys walking in their direction.
But one was fat, one was short, and the one behind was scrawny. This… this was too pathetic. And from their clothes, they didn’t look rich either.
Shen Yuan noticed Fang Minhui’s figure, drove up to her, and lowered the window. “Hui Bao, get in.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
“Cousin, my boyfriend is here to pick me up, so I’ll be going now~”
Fang Minhui said to the two of them.
Song Juan’s breath hitched, and she stared blankly at the G-Wagen in front of her. “Minhui, your boyfriend drives a G-Wagen?”
Although Song Juan didn’t know much about cars, she recognized the three-pointed star logo of Mercedes-Benz. What’s more, the G-Wagen was a high-end series from Mercedes.
Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen a pig run.
She often saw G-Wagens when scrolling through Kuaiyin.
It had to be at least two or three million, right?
“Yeah.”
Just then, Shen Yuan also noticed that the two people next to her seemed to be with Fang Minhui, so he asked, “Hui Bao, who are these two?”
“This is my cousin and my cousin-in-law. They’re here in Star City for a visit.”
“You should have said so earlier.”
Shen Yuan said reproachfully, then pushed open the car door and got out. “If your cousin and cousin-in-law are here, you could have told me in advance. I could have treated them to lunch.”
“You’re busy, I didn’t want to bother you.”
Fang Minhui pouted her pink lips. Last time, she had heard Shen Yuan say that besides the startup base, he had two other projects, so she didn’t want to bother him with such a small matter.
Shen Yuan waved his hand and then greeted the two of them, “Hello, my name is Shen Yuan. I’m Minhui’s boyfriend.”
“Hello, hello. My name is Song Juan. I’m Minhui’s cousin.”
Song Juan’s expression was a bit awkward as she nodded repeatedly.
“Sorry, I promised to take Minhui to buy a house this afternoon, so I don’t have time to accompany you. How about this, I’ll treat you to a simple meal tonight.” Shen Yuan asked politely.
Actually, he was just putting on a show to give Fang Minhui some face. As long as this couple wasn’t too clueless, they wouldn’t accept the invitation.
“Uh… no trouble at all. We plan to go out for a walk ourselves tonight. You guys go ahead with your business. We won’t hold you up.”
Song Juan smiled and declined.
When people encounter someone more outstanding than themselves, they inevitably feel inadequate. What’s more, this wasn’t just a little bit more outstanding, but the distance between the floor and the ceiling.
She and Zhang Zhen had been working for three or four years, and forget the regular BBA, even the Hongqi H5 they were driving now was bought on loan.
But the G-Wagen in front of them cost at least 20 times more than their car!
Their house in Tan County only cost less than 1 million, yet his car was 3 times more expensive than their house.
Just now, she had actually thought that one of those pathetic guys walking over was her cousin’s boyfriend. How ridiculous. Minhui’s boyfriend drove a G-Wagen!
People were always afraid of comparison. With this comparison, she instantly felt that Zhang Zhen was no longer so appealing.
Actually, Zhang Zhen’s conditions were quite good. His looks and figure were decent, he had graduated from a prestigious university, and he worked for a Fortune 500 company. This was why Song Juan had married him.
But compared to her cousin’s boyfriend in front of her, he was completely crushed in every aspect.
Zhang Zhen’s face was unnaturally smiling at Shen Yuan. At this moment, his heart was also twisted with discomfort, like he had just eaten a fly.
The sense of superiority he had just flaunted in front of Fang Minhui had long since dissipated with the arrival of the G-Wagen.
His proud Double First-Class university degree and his job at a Fortune 500 company were instantly blown to smithereens.
What was even more ridiculous was that he had actually wanted to introduce his cousin to Fang Minhui.
How could she possibly be interested!
A worker was ultimately a worker. How could he compare to a tycoon who drove a G-Wagen?
Fang Minhui hadn’t refuted him during the meal, probably because she couldn’t be bothered to argue.
Today was so damn embarrassing, the most embarrassing day of his life!
“Alright then. I hope you have a good time. If you need any help in Star City, just let me know.”
“Mmm-hmm, thank you.”
After Shen Yuan finished speaking to the two of them, he got back into the driver’s seat. Fang Minhui also said goodbye to her cousin and went around to get into the passenger seat.
Sitting in the car, a faint smile appeared on Fang Minhui’s lips.
Everyone has a sense of vanity. This time, she finally experienced the thrill of showing off in front of others, especially in front of the condescending Zhang Zhen. The thrill was doubled.
What she felt a bit guilty about was that she had accidentally hurt her cousin.
‘Sigh~ But I was forced to do it~’
“Thank you, Shen Yuan.”
Fang Minhui blinked her beautiful eyes, which were filled with Shen Yuan. Just now, Shen Yuan had acted with grace and generosity, proactively inviting her cousin to dinner and giving her plenty of face.
He hadn’t deliberately shown off either. Of course, driving a G-Wagen was already showing off enough.
Shen Yuan was driving and turned his head to smile. “You’re welcome. I’ll be enjoying your equestrian skills tonight anyway.”
Fang Minhui had studied modern dance, and her waist was astonishingly flexible. She could handle all sorts of positions with ease. Moreover, her stamina was also very good; she could go for 20 minutes straight without panting. Shen Yuan basically didn’t have to exert himself much at night.
Fang Minhui’s pretty face flushed red. She unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned close to Shen Yuan’s ear, and blew, “Want to try something new tonight?”
Shen Yuan looked down at her snowy white cleavage and couldn’t help but swallow. “What new moves do you have this time?”
Fang Minhui smiled smugly. “You’ll find out tonight.”
“…”
