It’s said that among won, no matter how good the friendship is, there will always be little sches, like standing at the back in photos to make your face look smaller.
Before posting a photo on social dia, they’ll touch it up to look their best. Even when out shopping with good friends, though they won’t say it, they dress up more than they do for boyfriends just to not be outdone by their female friends.
But little do they know, n have similar habits, like competing to see who can pee higher as children, or at gatherings, no one wants to be the first to go to the bathroom because the first one has weak kidneys. Even as adults, from length to duration, though they won’t say it aloud, no one is willing to concede.
The boasts get louder and louder, while behind the scenes, they’re just showing off what’s not theirs.
Simply put, it’s a life of being a proud man.
The few of them in the living room sat facing each other at the table on the balcony.
Su Qing, after greeting the little girl, sat down directly opposite Wen Jingqi.
Watching Su Qing get along well with his little niece, Wen Jingqi was so angry he trembled, his mouth twitching.
Not only because Su Qing stole the attention that should have been his in front of his niece, but also because he was angry his wife hadn’t given him a daughter. He even thought about it, planning for a second child. No daughter is better than your own.
This expression left Wen Nanqing speechless.
After Su Qing sat down, he couldn’t help but smile and greet, "You must be Wen’s brother, right? Nice to et you, hello, hello!"
"Hello, I’m the uncle."
"Bro~~" The landlady couldn’t bear to watch, stepping on her brother’s foot under the table to remind him.
Who doesn’t know you’re the uncle? Do you need to keep saying it?
Shen Yi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. She saw clearly from the side, that when Su Qing greeted the little girl friendly, the eldest of the Wen Family was almost spitting fire from his eyes.
"Wen Jingqi, pleased to et you!" The reacting eldest of the Wen Family quickly shook hands and smiled.
Though he was ntally prepared, seeing Su Qing for the first ti, he still couldn’t conceal his shock. So young, too young. Standing together, they looked like two generations.
The phrase wasn’t an exaggeration, after all, old Su is just in his forties, not even fifty yet. At Wen Jingqi’s age, he could call Su Qing’s father "brother".
Shen Yi had also seen this. Plus, being in his sister’s ho, he naturally relaxed a lot. Everyone here was almost like family to him, and with his age advantage, he felt like he was talking to kids, no longer his usual impeccable self.
"My sister ntioned you at ho early on, even my mother said you’re a good guy, not bad, not bad!" Wen Jingqi laughed.
[Wen Jingqi, who is continuing the family business, is assessing you, thinking, this Su Qing, huh? Not much, not as handso as I was when I was young, just passable!]
Su Qing: ...
Does this man have such a vivid inner drama? Are we getting a new mber for the narration trio?
"Bro!! Why are you saying this? Don’t you know why you ca today?" Wen Nanqing stomped and was so angry her lungs almost exploded.
The last ti their mother ca it was the sa, if they hadn’t said Su Qing and Shen Yi were dating, she would have treated it like a mother-in-law viewing.
Her brother didn’t have such obvious intentions, but also had preconceived notions from their mother, with a hint of hostility.
Being the youngest in the family, she had the sa status as Su He in Su Qing’s family. If Su He ever got a boyfriend, Su Qing and old Su might react the sa way, so it’s understandable.
"Oh, right, right, I ca today to let you know that Xu Feng has been investigated. I found out that the back taxes and fines are over one billion and two hundred million." Wen Jingqi said.
Hearing this, the three had different expressions. Wen Nanqing looked surprised, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief with a slight smile, thinking sothing to herself, while Su Qing showed no reaction, seeming just to drink water calmly, but actually waiting for the narration in his mind.
[Well, little thief, am I aweso? Let ask you, am I aweso? In less than half a month, I took Xu Feng down. Little thief, you? No way!!]
Who knew? This seemingly well-behaved big uncle, this facade of a successful person, had such a juvenile heart inside.
The key point was, he was so boastful inside, yet his face showed not a hint, impressive. Kudos to the big shot.
"Really, that’s fantastic! Bro, you’re amazing, thank you~~" Wen Nanqing exclaid in surprise, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, less dignified but more playful. To be fair, she really nailed the essence of female behavior and mindset.
If it were ancient tis, she’d be a proper noblewoman. Among the won Su Qing knows, she’s the most like a woman, filled with gentle femininity.
Listening to his sister’s praises made the eldest Wen swell with pride: "It’s nothing, just small issues. With a company as riddled with holes as his, it’s easy to take him down. He didn’t even investigate Shen Yi’s company background before making a move, no wonder he couldn’t expand his business.
The most critical thing is, if I had done it alone, he might have been alright, but he also provoked Wang Zheng, the old fox. Who else would die but him? His goods are stuck, funds are locked. But this wouldn’t have been possible without little Su, who considered everything thoroughly, a talent for big things.’
[So, kid, now you know who’s boss? Want to consider joining ? Given your connection with my sis, a bit of favoritism isn’t out of the question.]
If it weren’t for the crowd, he’d want to scratch his head, a bit awkward, this person can’t seem to say anything without ntioning . What can a big boss compare with a small fry like ?
What Su Qing didn’t know was, after being "schooled" by Wang Zheng, Wen Jingqi couldn’t underestimate him. In front of his sister and niece, a sense of competitiveness naturally arose.
"No, it’s all thanks to Brother Wen. I didn’t do anything." Su Qing waved his hands repeatedly, indicating it had nothing to do with him, just let off the hook.
But Shen Yi suddenly interrupted: "So that’s why Xu Feng suddenly contacted about shipnts. Thank you, Brother Wen."
"By the way, Brother Wen, if Xu Feng is under investigation, then he should be arrested and sentenced for tax evasion, right?" Su Qing asked.
At this, Wen Jingqi shook his head and smiled, "Though that’s the rule, but haven’t you seen the tax evasion cases on TV? How many are really arrested?
Xu Feng is much the sa. His company can still cover the tax hole, so prison might not be on the horizon. But with Boss Wang blocking his channels, with goods stuck, fines, wages, overdue penalties, and loan interests, he’d be bankrupt, even worse than that traitor Lu Yang."
"Bro~~ why bring him up, it’s bad luck!" The landlady’s face fell, reluctantly.
For this, Wen Jingqi repeatedly apologized.
"If that’s the case, then I can start lowering prices here. Brother Wen, it’s really thanks to you!" Shen Yi sincerely thanked him.
"Oh, no need for that. My sis is also a major shareholder of your company. We’re all family. By the way, my sis ntioned, Shen Yi, you’re dating little Su? What do you do for a living, little Su?"
[Kid, you better really be dating Shen Yi. If you’re eyeing my sister, then as her big brother, I won’t be so easy!]
"Cough, cough, cough," hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t stop coughing, and even Shen Yi was a bit taken aback, her face slightly flushed.
It wasn’t because of Wen Jingqi’s words making her shy, but recalling what had happened yesterday, as the two had quite a fight this morning.
Seeing this, Wen Nanqing rolled her eyes, here we go again, why’s her family always so suspicious?
Shen Yi didn’t speak, just kicked him slightly.
Su Qing got the ssage: "We’re indeed dating, but I’m living off her, working at her company!"
Wen Jingqi: "Pff~~ Cough, cough, really?"
He had imagined Su Qing’s real identity, but he never expected him to openly admit he’s living off a woman, which left him a bit at a loss.
"Of course it’s true, I work at her company, she pays 2800 a month, barely enough to live on, can’t even buy new clothes, and have to hand over my salary card, sigh, no dignity in being a kept man!"
"Shen Yi, you’re in the wrong here, should pay him more. You’re not short on money. How about... working for ?" Wen Jingqi inquired.
[Brother, I pity you, I wronged you!]
"Bro, don’t listen to his nonsense, little Su is a cop!"
Wen Jingqi: ...
