Chapter 37
Boyfriend
“Xiao Xiao, what should we do?” Li Chang had never seen such a shameless scene since she was young. She was a little worried about Yuan Xiao.
Seeing Li Chang, Shen Ling suddenly raised her voice. “You’re Yuan Xiao’s classmate? Go tell Yuan Xiao’s rich boyfriend that her family is short of money!”
Li Chang looked at Shen Ling’s disgusting face and frowned in disgust.
When Yuan Xiao heard Shen Ling’s words, she suddenly had an idea. She turned around and whispered to Li Chang, “Go home first. The scene will be very chaotic later. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you.”
“If I don’t leave, what will you do?” Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Li Chang became even more worried.
“It’s fine. Just leave the restaurant first and wait for me far away.”
Li Chang was still a little worried, but seeing that Yuan Xiao insisted, she still walked out of the restaurant. She found a seat in the milk tea shop opposite and watched Yuan Xiao intently, ready to call the police at any time.
“Hmph, Yuan Xiao, you’d better be sensible. Take out the money you saved so that our relatives won’t fall out with you!” Shen Ling stared at Yuan Xiao as if she was afraid that she would run away.
“Shen Ling! Don’t go overboard!” Shen Hai really could not stand how unreasonable she was.
“I’m going overboard? Alright, no wonder your two daughters are scoundrels. They inherited it from you!” Shen Ling stood up and walked towards Shen Hai and Feng Mei.
Seeing that Shen Ling and Zhou Wei were much bigger-sized than her parents, Yuan Xiao was worried that her parents would get injured, so she hurriedly said, “Isn’t it just money? Okay, I’ll borrow it from my boyfriend and ask him to send it to you.”
Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Shen Ling snorted coldly and returned to her seat.
Shen Hai and Feng Mei looked at Yuan Xiao worriedly and saw her pick up her cell phone calmly.
“Hello? Why are you looking for me?” Fang Yao’s lazy voice sounded from the phone. It sounded like he had just woken up.
“Why are you asleep so early?” Yuan Xiao’s voice was sweet and exceptionally gentle, but Fang Yao was not sleepy at all.
Yuan Xiao glanced at Shen Ling, who was eavesdropping. She smiled and said, “Ah Yao, I’m in some trouble. Can you help me?”
This time, Fang Yao was completely energized. He looked at the caller ID and realized that it was indeed Yuan Xiao. Fang Yao asked as if he had seen a ghost, “Yuan Xiao, did something unclean possess you? I have goosebumps. Don’t scare me!”
“Ahem…” Yuan Xiao coughed hard to ease the awkwardness and continued, “I’m at my parents’ restaurant in the back street of the school. Bring some money over. Hurry up, I’m in a hurry.”
Shen Ling hurriedly gestured to Yuan Xiao.
“Oh, 80,000 yuan is fine. I’ll wait for you.” After putting down the phone, Yuan Xiao sighed at her acting skills. It was impossible for Fang Yao not to notice her abnormality. With Fang Yao’s usual combat results, Shen Ling’s family would not have an easy time later.
Just as Yuan Xiao put down the phone, she heard Shen Ling say anxiously, “Xiaoxiao, I meant 800,000! Not 80,000.”
“800,000 yuan?” Yuan Xiao was a little surprised. She did not expect Shen Ling to be so greedy.
“You don’t know. Rich people don’t even take a few million yuan seriously. If you ask for less, you’ll only appear ignorant.” Shen Ling’s tone was serious, and her expression when she looked at Yuan Xiao was filled with greed.
“Shen Ling, if you do this, our families will cut ties in the future!” Shen Hai was really in pain to have such a relative.
“Xiao Hai, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but who would feel bad about money? Look, Yuan Xiao is smarter than you. It’s better to find a rich boyfriend than anything else. How much money can you and Feng Mei earn if you work for your entire life?” Shen Ling did not want to lose a money-making avenue like Yuan Xiao. She continued to say to Shen Hai, “Alright, I’ll take 60,000 yuan later and leave 20,000 yuan for you.”
Shen Hai was so angry that his blood pressure almost rose. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yuan Xiao walking over.
“Dad, Auntie and the others will leave after taking the money. Don’t be anxious.”
Shen Hai knew that Yuan Xiao did not have a boyfriend at all, but seeing how confident Yuan Xiao was, he did not know what her plans were, so he could only cooperate with her.
The restaurant fell silent. Because of Shen Ling’s family, Shen Hai had no choice but to put up a sign to suspend business.
“Xiao Xiao, let me tell you, the most important thing for a woman is to marry a rich man. Appearance and age are not important.” Shen Ling looked at Yuan Xiao’s exquisite and beautiful face and said enviously, “Tsk, your little face is good. You will definitely be able to hook a rich man. Your parents’ good fortune comes later.”
Yuan Xiao nodded in agreement, but her eyes were fixed on the door.
Feng Mei could not sit still anymore. She clenched her fists and said in a trembling voice, “Sister, how can you say that to the child!”
