Chapter 30: Are You the Boss’s Son?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Whether Xu Yang makes money or loses money, it’s none of your business. Can you control it?” Zhao Yuxin said indifferently.
“What kind of language is that? I’m your mother!” Liu Yujuan yelled as her face turned ashen with anger.
“I have never acknowledged you as my mother,” Zhao Yuxin replied coldly.
“You…” Liu Yujuan trembled with anger, her face still pale.
“Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m hanging up,” Zhao Yuxin said dispassionately.
“Is this how much you dislike me?” Liu Yujuan angrily inquired.
“It’s not a matter of disliking you; after all, we have no relationship. How can one dislike someone with whom they have no connection?” Zhao Yuxin replied.
“You!” Liu Yujuan was fuming, and every time she called Zhao Yuxin, it left her in a foul mood.
“If you have nothing else, I’m hanging up,” Zhao Yuxin was about to end the call.
“Wait!” Liu Yujuan quickly interjected.
“What else?” Zhao Yuxin asked.
“Does your father know that Xu Yang used the 2 million he gave you for futures trading?” Liu Yujuan asked.
“Yes, he knows. What’s the matter?” Zhao Yuxin said.
“He didn’t say anything to you?” Liu Yujuan inquired.
“What’s there to say?” Zhao Yuxin responded.
“The way Xu Yang is doing this, although he’s making money now, his gambling-style investment in the futures market will surely lead to losses in the future. If you allow him to go on like this, you’ll be the ones crying when that happens,” Liu Yujuan warned.
“Both Dad and I trust Xu Yang. We don’t believe that the situation you’re describing will occur. With that said, do you have any other business to discuss? If not, I’ll hang up,” Zhao Yuxin said.
Liu Yujuan fell silent, not knowing what to say.
Without another word from Zhao Yuxin, she hung up the phone.
“This is so infuriating!” Liu Yujuan muttered after hearing the beep from her phone. She clenched her teeth in anger.
After Liu Yujuan set her phone aside, she returned to the dining table and continued eating.
The three of them didn’t inquire about the outcome of Liu Yujuan’s call; they could tell from her expression.
“Xu Yang may have money now, but it’s not that impressive. Compared to Guanglei, he’s far behind,” Yang Jingsheng changed the topic.
“Exactly, Guanglei is a wealthy heir. Even if Xu Yang makes some money through luck, he can never compare to Guanglei,” Yang Tiancheng agreed.
“That’s right,” Liu Yujuan concurred. “Yulu, someone like Guanglei is your ideal match. Xu Yang, even if he has some money, is nothing to envy.”
Zhao Yulu remained silent. Although she wasn’t particularly fond of Chen Guanglei, she still believed that Xu Yang could never measure up to him.
Chen Guanglei’s father had assets in the tens of billions and ran an investment company. Chen Guanglei didn’t need to do anything; he would inherit billions in the future. On the other hand, Xu Yang had merely made some money, and whether he could hold onto it was uncertain.
Yang Jingsheng asked, “Yulu, how’s your relationship with Guanglei now?”
Zhao Yulu replied, “Nothing much.”
Yang Jingsheng became anxious and said, “This won’t do. I’ve told you before, someone like Guanglei, wealthy and interested in you, is a rare find. You need to seize the opportunity.”
Yang Tiancheng added, “That’s right. If you make him lose interest, and he stops pursuing you, even if you want to be with him later, you won’t have a chance.”
Liu Yujuan chimed in, “Yulu, I have to talk to you about this. Someone like Guanglei, a wealthy heir, is hard to come by. Wherever can you find someone like him? He likes you, and if you agree to be his girlfriend, you can start discussing marriage soon. You won’t need to work anymore. You can have whatever you want, go shopping, and enjoy beauty treatments all day long. If you still want to work, you can join his father’s company in an easy position. You need to seize this opportunity.”
Liu Yujuan’s motivation was primarily self-interest. Becoming the mother-in-law of a wealthy heir would also give her face. If she ever ran out of money, she could just ask Chen Guanglei. Whatever she wanted to buy, she could buy it without hesitation. That was the life she had always dreamed of.
In fact, Liu Yujuan’s current life still couldn’t satisfy her. Living in a villa was good, but her car was just an ordinary luxury car worth around four hundred thousand yuan. She couldn’t buy luxury clothes, bags, shoes, cosmetics, or whatever she wanted whenever she wanted.
With Chen Guanglei as her wealthy son-in-law, Liu Yujuan could do whatever she pleased. Buying a luxury car worth over a million yuan wouldn’t be a problem. Getting whatever she wanted wouldn’t be a problem either.
Zhao Yulu replied perfunctorily, “I understand.”
Liu Yujuan continued, “You always say you understand, but I don’t think you really do. If you did, you would already be Guanglei’s girlfriend by now, and you wouldn’t have come back to eat with us. Instead, you’d be out on a date with Guanglei!”
Zhao Yulu rolled her eyes. “Mom, I’ve only known Chen Guanglei for a few days. Even if I want to be his girlfriend, I need to understand what kind of person he is first. How can I agree to be his girlfriend after just a few days of knowing him?”
Liu Yujuan said, “With his conditions, there’s nothing to understand.”
Zhao Yulu retorted, “You only see that he’s wealthy.”
Liu Yujuan countered, “His character is definitely not a problem. Wealthy families nowadays pay great attention to their children’s education.”
Zhao Yulu rolled her eyes again and said, “Even if that’s the case, I still need to consider whether our personalities are compatible.”
Liu Yujuan argued, “What’s there to consider? As long as you’re together, there won’t be any issues. You have to act quickly, or else when he loses interest, you’ll have nowhere to cry.”
“I’m done eating.” Zhao Yulu said as she rolled her eyes one last time and couldn’t be bothered to continue the conversation. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and went back to her room.
“Yulu!” Liu Yujuan was once again infuriated. Although she wanted to scold Zhao Yulu some more, Zhao Yulu didn’t give her the chance and had already gone back to her room.
On Monday, Xu Yang drove Zhao Yuxin to the bank and then went to work. When he parked the car in the company’s parking lot and got out of the car, he immediately attracted the attention of his colleagues.
“Xu Yang, did you buy a car?” a colleague approached and asked.
“Yeah, I bought a car,” Xu Yang nodded casually.
“A Maserati Quattroporte!” colleagues marveled in admiration as they circled the car, touching the body with their hands.
“Xu Yang, did you recently strike it rich?”
“Xu Yang, you really hid it well. Whenever we talked about buying a car, you always said you didn’t have the money, and now you quietly bought a Maserati Quattroporte!”
“That’s right, we were discussing whether to buy a Mini Cooper or a Chery eQ1 because they’re cheap and convenient for charging at the company. And here you are, buying a million-dollar luxury car.”
“Xu Yang, tell us the truth, are you a wealthy heir?”
“Definitely, he used to play it low-key in front of us.”
“We never expected that we had a hidden wealthy heir among us.”
“Xu Yang, this isn’t fair. If you want to stay low-key, you should’ve stayed low-key all the way. Suddenly revealing your identity makes us uncomfortable.”
“Yeah, some of us are having trouble adjusting to this sudden change.”
“My goodness, are you the boss’s son?”
More and more colleagues gathered, making various comments.
