Volume 1: The Golden Years Chapter 023: Being Honest
On the second floor of the alley, the Luo family’s living room.
Seeing the BMW downstairs disappear, Zhu Suosuo's uncle and aunt leaned back from the window, and then saw Luo Jiaming put a pile of gift boxes on the table in the living room, and walked back to the bedroom alone and closed the door in a daze.
Knowing that her son had not slept all night just to wait for Zhu Suosuo who did not return home at night, she did not expect that her infatuation would result in Zhu Suosuo and another man getting a room in the hotel. Luo Jiaming's mother was both angry and distressed.
“You mean this Jiaming? He’s very handsome and works in a high-tech job. He could have any girlfriend he wants, but he chose Suosuo. And Suosuo used to be quite sensible, but what about now?
A girl, who did not return home at night, and even checked into the Park Hyatt Hotel with a man whom she had just met for only three days. She drove a BMW through the alleys and dressed up so gorgeously that people who didn't know her would think she was the daughter of some famous family!
Look at the pile of clothes and skin care products on the table. You can tell from the packaging that they are not cheap. How can the little living expenses her father sends her every month be enough to buy these luxury goods?
It must have been sent by that Xiao Yuan, including the clothes and jewelry she was wearing. The key is that she accepted so many gifts and stayed at the Park Hyatt Hotel last night. If the neighbors saw this, they would think that our Luo family had no family discipline and raised our niece since she was a child, and wondered what she was doing outside. "
Seeing that his wife was getting more and more outrageous, Luo Youfu said impatiently:
"Okay, she didn't spend your money. Everyone has their own choices. I think Mr. Yuan is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. He dotes on Suosuo so much. Such a boyfriend is right. Your future life will be good. You don't have to worry about her!"
Hearing Luo Youfu say this, Luo Jiaming's mother rolled her eyes and said:
"Are you crazy? I'm worried about her? I'm worried about my son. Men who like beautiful women usually have bad luck. This is called beauty brings disaster. Besides, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what Xiao Yuan is thinking?
What they call love at first sight is just lies men tell to fool young girls. They book a hotel room after knowing each other for only three days, give gifts and a BMW car. Such an impatient man is obviously not a good person. He is a beast in human clothing!
You men are all the same, always liking young and pretty girls. Believe it or not, that Xiao Yuan was just attracted by Suosuo's youth and beauty, so he spent money to please her and used sweet words to coax her into bed.
After the affair, if you really ask him to buy a house and get a marriage certificate, he will definitely make excuses. If you push him into a corner, he will run away, faster than a rabbit. He is not as steady and reliable as Garming.
I really don’t know what the girls nowadays are thinking. They don’t want honest and steady boys, but prefer the unruly rich second generation. It was not like that when we were young!"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Luo Youfu hurriedly stopped them and said:
"Suosuo is about to come in. After all, we are not her parents. It's not good for her to hear this."
"What are you afraid of? I've raised her since she was little, so what's wrong with saying a few words to her?"
Luo Jiaming's mother grumbled, but eventually calmed down and just whispered:
"Other people's children are just impossible to raise!"
…
Outside the Luo family's house, Zhu Suosuo, who had long been accustomed to it, heard the room become quiet. She put on a smile on her face, pushed the door open and walked in, while loudly and coquettishly saying:
"Uncle, aunt, Suosuo is back!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo's smiling face, Luo Youfu also smiled and said:
"Suosuo is back. Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten with Mr. Yuan, by the way."
Zhu Suosuo nodded slightly in response, and as if she remembered something, she hurried to the table and found the butter and crab roe gift box sent by the boss of Yiyuan from a pile of gift boxes. Then she handed it to her uncle and aunt like offering a treasure and said:
"Uncle, aunt, this is the gift box of butter and crab roe that Mr. Yuan asked me to bring back. Try it, it tastes great!"
Taking the gift box of butter and crab roe from Zhu Suosuo, Luo Jiaming's mother looked at the exquisite outer packaging and said with a smile:
"A gift box of butter and crab roe. It looks expensive. Did it cost a lot of money?"
Seeing that her aunt liked it, Zhu Suosuo said flatteringly:
"I didn't spend any money. It was given to Mr. Yuan by the owner of a very good restaurant. I brought it back specially to honor you and your uncle."
"Since Suosuo is so filial, I will accept the gift!"
Luo Jiaming's mother nodded slightly, then looked at Zhu Suosuo with a suspicious look on her face and said:
"Isn't Xiao Yuan your boyfriend? Why do you still call him Mr. Yuan?"
Zhu Suosuo blushed slightly and said rather embarrassedly:
"He likes me to call him that!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo's shy and coy look, Luo Jiaming's mother didn't know what was going on. She secretly spat in her heart, thinking that all men were not good things, except her own son. Thinking of this, she sent Luo Youfu away, and then reminded Zhu Suosuo:
"I remember Jiaming said that Xiao Yuan is just an ordinary programmer, and he doesn't even have a local hukou in Shanghai. The BMW 7 Series he just saw is worth a lot of money. Is it his own?"
Without waiting for Zhu Suosuo to respond, she continued:
"Suosuo, let me tell you, now a lot of people will ask that wedding company to rent a car. They can even rent clothes and jewelry, and they can even buy high-quality imitations. They specifically cheat young, beautiful and ignorant girls."
"Aunt~~"
Seeing that her aunt suspected that Yuan Xudong was a bad guy who specifically deceived little girls, Zhu Suosuo hugged her arm and said coquettishly:
"Mr. Yuan is not a liar. He stayed in a river view room at the Park Hyatt Hotel, and the hotel staff were all very polite to him. How could he be a liar?
That BMW 7 Series is indeed not his car, it is a VIP car specially arranged by the Park Hyatt Hotel. He also bought a lot of luxury goods to please me. I can feel that he really likes me!"
Hearing this, Luo Jiaming's mother glanced at the gift boxes piled on the table, then looked at Zhu Suosuo, who was now covered in jewels, and said:
"You two have just met for a short time, and he gave you gifts, a VIP car, and took you to a hotel to spend the night. Isn't that a bit too hasty? Where is he from and what his family does? Do you know?"
Zhu Suosuo shook her head slightly and explained happily:
"Although I don't know where he is from or what his family does, I like him and he likes me too. He gave me gifts just to please me, and that's enough!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo's happy and sweet face, Luo Jiaming's mother said angrily and helplessly:
"You shameless little girl, you were deceived into taking your body by a man with just a few words, and now you are speaking for him before you even get married. You will regret it sooner or later!"
After saying that, she took a look at the sapphire necklace Zhu Suosuo wore around her neck and the two imperial green jade earrings on her earlobes, and asked curiously:
"Suosuo, this sapphire necklace and green jade earrings were also bought by Xiao Yuan, right? They look really beautiful. How much did they cost?"
Zhu Suosuo gently touched the sapphire on her chest, her face full of happiness and boasting:
"I don't know either. I paid for all these things together. I spent more than one million yuan. Mr. Yuan really dotes on me!"
"More than one million?!"
Luo Jiaming's mother's face changed slightly, and she blamed him:
"You silly girl, you've only known each other for a short time and yet you dare to accept such an expensive gift? How will others see you? No, you must tell your father about this. Your uncle and I cannot take the responsibility!"
"Aunt~~"
Hearing that her aunt was going to complain to her father, Zhu Suosuo immediately begged:
"Just don't say anything yet, okay?"
Without waiting for Luo Jiaming's mother to refuse, she quickly explained:
"Mr. Yuan knows Ye Jinyan from Jingyan Group. He just went to Jingyan Group to discuss cooperation with Ye Jinyan on the Songjiang Hotel project, and he also wanted to arrange a job for me.
I will move out after the Dongli property is launched. Mr. Yuan said that he wants to find Ye Jinyan to buy a large house with a good layout, and put both of our names on the property certificate.
After all this is done, Mr. Yuan and I will live together and work at Jingyan Group. You can tell my father that he is sailing on the sea. I don't want him to worry about me, okay?"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo mentioned buying a house and working, Luo Jiaming's mother was suspicious:
"There are so many good houses, why do you have to wait for Dongli's house? And he even wrote your name on the property certificate. A house costs tens of millions. Will he be so generous?
Is he deliberately dragging you along to make you happy? I tell you, it doesn't matter what a man says, what matters is what he does. Try him and ask him to buy a house right now. He doesn't need a high-end community like Dongli.
Even if it's in the suburbs of Shanghai, buy a house worth several million, write your name on the property certificate, and register your marriage. Only something you can see and touch can make people feel at ease!"
Seeing her aunt mention registering for marriage, Zhu Suosuo was quite moved, but she was afraid that Yuan Xudong would really reject her, so she could only defend him:
"He knows Ye Jinyan, and he is cooperating with her on a hotel project. He bought a house in Jingyan Group to take care of her business. Isn't this a very normal relationship? As for marriage, Mr. Yuan and I are still young, so let's wait two years before we talk about it!"
After that, seeing that her aunt wanted to say something, she quickly took out her cell phone, found the text message of the capital change reminder from Construction Bank, and moved in front of her aunt, showing off to divert her attention:
"Aunt, don't worry. I'm not an ignorant girl. Look, Mr. Yuan transferred 5 million yuan to me. I've never spent so much money since I was a child. How could there be such a liar? Even if I were sold, I wouldn't get so much money!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo say this, Luo Jiaming's mother was shocked by Yuan Xudong's generosity and sighed:
"Suosuo, you are just like your mother. You love money and are so cruel. You know how much Jiaming likes you. What do you want him to do in the future?"
Seeing her aunt mention her mother who ran away from home, Zhu Suosuo's face froze slightly, and she felt very sad. She forced a smile on her face and said:
"Aunt, cousin Jiaming will find his own happiness. You know I have loved money since I was a child. I can't live with cousin Jiaming. If we are forced to be together, I will not be happy, and he will not be happy either!
I grew up here since I was a child. Although you are not my biological mother, you have taken care of me for so many years. I really hope you can bless me and find my own happiness! "
Seeing Zhu Suosuo reveal her true feelings for the first time, after all, she was a child who grew up under her nose. Luo Jiaming's mother had a complicated expression. She stroked Zhu Suosuo's face and comforted her gently:
"Silly child, of course I hope you can be happy, but I'm a little worried about Jiaming. Suosuo, I'm sorry, your aunt is not a selfless person, and it's inevitable that I will be partial to my own son. Don't take it to heart. Mr. Yuan is really good, he is handsome, and he is willing to spend so much money on you. Your aunt wishes you happiness. I've wronged you all these years!"
Unable to maintain the smile on her face any longer, Zhu Suosuo burst into tears of joy and said:
"Thank you, auntie. Thank you for taking care of me for so many years. I will definitely repay you and uncle like my own daughter in the future!"
