Chapter 230 Money Moves People's Hearts
"I didn't allow you to be with him, but you still took his car back?"
When Xu Wenlan learned that his daughter was going back to eastern Guangdong with Chen Jianghe, his face looked a little grim.
"Mom~" Xu Zhixi came to her mother and gently held her hand.
Xu Wenlan still had a stern face and was silent for a long time. He sighed and said , "Tell me honestly, is he younger than you?"
"Yes." Xu Zhixi nodded truthfully.
"You." Xu Wenlan was a little disappointed with his friend, and said anxiously and angrily: "With your conditions, you can find any other man, why do you have to find someone younger than you? In this kind of sister-brother relationship, women are easily soft-hearted and men are easily unfaithful."
Xu Zhixi pursed her lips. She and Chen Jianghe were more than just siblings, they were also teacher and student.
However, this relationship should be kept secret if possible. If my mother finds out, I will most likely be beaten.
"I heard from your uncle that he helped you set up an online store and made a lot of money?"
"Well, I made more than one million." Xu Zhixi said.
Xu Wenlan was stunned when he heard this. More than one million is not a small amount of money. Many people cannot earn that much money in their entire life.
Xu Wenlan thought for a moment and said, "Give it back to him. Don't let money blind you."
"Oh." Xu Zhixi nodded. Her mother was famous among the neighbors for her love of money. Even at the beginning of the year, many young men dates knew how to please the girl and offer a high price as soon as they met. It was like bidding at an auction, with each one higher than the last. Every time her mother heard someone offer a high price, she would smile.
This time she seemed like a different person and was indifferent to more than one million.
"Didn't you hear it?" Xu Wenlan glanced at his daughter, his mind as clear as a mirror, knowing everything at a glance.
"Yes." Xu Zhixi looked up at her mother and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have always obeyed your arrangements and followed your instructions. This time I want to make my own decision."
"I'm not after his money, I just like him as a person." Xu Zhixi expressed her attitude seriously.
"Okay." Seeing his daughter's firm attitude, Xu Wenlan softened his tone a little: "I don't practice feudal autocracy and won't interfere with your free love, but if you want to get married with him and get a marriage certificate in the future, I will definitely take care of it."
Xu Zhixi was delighted when she heard the first half of the sentence, but was disappointed by the second half. She hugged her mother's arms and said, "Mom, love that is not for the purpose of marriage is just hooliganism."
"Why are you being a hooligan? As long as you stick to the bottom line, there is room for advancement and retreat in everything."
Xu Wenlan glared at his daughter and said, "Don't think about having a child out of wedlock or getting married with a baby. Those are all kinds of messy things that will ruin the reputation of our Xu family. Do you understand?"
"Yeah." Xu Zhixi nodded in agreement with a slight blush on her cheeks. When Chen Jianghe mentioned this yesterday, she couldn't sleep all night thinking about it.
"As for the money, don't return it to him. Keep it for yourself," Xu Wenlan continued.
Xu Zhixi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mom, are you doing face-changing in Sichuan opera?"
"I'm doing this for your own good." Xu Wenlan patted his daughter's hand and said, "Also, don't rush back with him. Let him go back on his own."
"No." Xu Zhixi shook her head decisively.
Seeing this, Xu Wenlan waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't want to bother with you. Just go with him."
Xu Zhixi looked at her mother deeply and turned to leave.
"etc."
Xu Wenlan called out to her again.
Xu Zhixi turned her head.
"Is he really good at making money?" Xu Wenlan asked, and emphasized: "Tell me the truth, don't lie to me."
"His company spends tens of millions on advertising every month. If things go well, it's only a matter of time before he's worth over 100 million." Xu Zhixi said truthfully.
In fact, Xu Zhixi didn't know how much money Chen Jianghe had, but judging from the employee size and advertising efforts of Light Chaser, he should be wealthy. After all, for a company with thousands of employees, the monthly salary paid out is an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Oh." Xu Wenlan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and took out a large bag of local specialties and two boxes of mooncakes from the bedroom locker, and handed them to Xu Zhixi: "Take them to eat on the way, and bring him here again during the Chinese New Year."
Xu Zhixi was a little surprised: "Mom, you are not against..."
Xu Wenlan interrupted, "You may object, but the young man is indeed excellent, and the county magistrate's son is far inferior to him. I neglected him this time, and I will make it up to him next time."
"All right."
Xu Zhixi took the specialty and mooncakes calmly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: After all, money is what moves people.
But this is also human nature. A young billionaire has a bright future, and many people are eager to curry favor with him.
"I still hope you can stay at home for a few more days." Xu Wenlan said, "Let him go back by himself. If he is willing to come with you next time, it at least means that he is sincere to you."
"Okay, I'll go out and tell him." Xu Zhixi nodded, picked up her things and walked out to meet Chen Jianghe.
Seeing that she was carrying a large bag in one hand and two boxes of mooncakes in the other, Chen Jianghe hurried forward to help her share the burden and stuffed them into the trunk quickly.
"I won't go back to Guangdong with you. How about you go back by yourself?" Xu Zhixi looked at Chen Jianghe and asked softly.
Chen Jianghe looked up at her, thought for a moment and said, "It's rare for you to come back, it would be nice to spend more time with your family."
"Why are you so easy to talk to?"
Xu Zhixi was a little confused and distressed. She couldn't help but reach out to hug him, her eyes reddened again: "I'm sorry for letting you go home with me this time."
"I don't feel wronged at all."
Chen Jianghe shook his head and said with a smile: "You have been having a lot of mood swings recently, which is not good for your heart. Let me massage it for you."
"No touching allowed."
Xu Zhixi quickly slapped his hand away, quietly stepped back a few steps, and then gently reminded him: "Be careful on your way back. I will take uncle's car back to school in a few days."
"Okay." Chen Jianghe nodded and tapped her cheek with his finger: "Kiss."
"No." Xu Zhixi's cheeks blushed slightly. The people coming and going in front of her house were all neighbors. When she hugged him just now, some people stopped to watch. How could she have the nerve to kiss him?
"Then I'll owe you the money first, and I'll double it when you return to school."
Chen Jianghe didn't force her. He got into the car with a smile, waved goodbye to her, turned around and drove away without saying anything else.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to eastern Guangdong. The lights were still on in the Light Chasers' base, and Lin Siqi was sitting in the office checking accounts.
There was a girl lying opposite the desk, with a pile of melon seed shells on the table. She must have been tired from cracking the seeds, and she fell asleep while lying down. Her mouth was slightly open, and a stream of crystal saliva dripped from the corner of the table.
The wind was a bit strong at night. Chen Jianghe closed the door gently when he entered. When he walked into the office, he saw that it was Liu Ziyu who was lying down and sleeping .
Lin Siqi was extremely serious when doing things. She hadn't noticed Chen Jianghe had already walked up to her. When he gently called her "Siqi", she suddenly looked up with a look of surprise between her eyebrows. She pushed away the chair and came forward, then hugged his neck like a koala and wrapped her legs around his waist.
"You're going to ask me for help as soon as I come back?"
Chen Jianghe raised his hand and pinched the secretary's cheek, then hugged her and sat her on the office chair.
"I missed you."
Lin Siqi smiled and kissed Chen Jianghe again and again.
"Itchy." Chen Jianghe felt like a cat was rubbing against him. He raised his hand to block it and said jokingly, "If Ziyu saw us like this, she would probably have erotic dreams tonight."
"No, she was sleeping so soundly that even the thunder outside couldn't wake her up."
Lin Siqi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You came back at the right time. I just checked the wages. I have nothing else to do tonight. I will concentrate on helping you with your homework, okay?"
As Lin Siqi spoke, her legs swayed slightly.
Chen Jianghe adjusted the chair and looked down at her, from her rosy thin lips, to her delicate collarbone, to her long and moist legs under the skirt, as white as autumn lotus roots, and to her unique, delicate, slender, and translucent jade feet.
"Do you like it more and more the more you watch it?"
Lin Siqi's breath was as sweet as orchid in his ear.
Chen Jianghe didn't say anything. He reached out and held her feet, squeezing them gently a few times.
In contrast, Lin Siqi suddenly straightened up, couldn't help but raise his hand to his lips, and gently bit his wrist with his pearly teeth.
