Chapter 1177: Chapter 1263: Success at Your Fingertips
Xie Wanqing is well aware that none of the people in her family are easy to deal with; each one wishes others were worse off than themselves. This ti, she’s bragged a bit too boldly.
If Su Xuan gets exposed, it won’t matter if she loses face, but making such a big deal about it could be truly embarrassing.
Looking at Xie Wanqing, Su Xuan smiled faintly.
“Silly, don’t worry, your Brother Xuan will handle it effortlessly. It’s just a bit of showing off, no big deal.”
Su Xuan, in fact, wasn’t tense at all. Although Chengdu and Subei are worlds apart, Su Xuan might not be anybody special here, but being rich is undeniable. Besides, he thinks he’s excellent at showing off; surely he can deal with a few distant relatives.
Despite his words, Xie Wanqing couldn’t help but feel uneasy; this matter wasn’t sothing she was confident about. Those relatives of hers are quite shrewd, aren’t they?
However, taking things back wasn’t an option now; they’ve already arrived at Emperor Hotel. Asking Su Xuan to turn around would be far more humiliating, probably making her cousin laugh out loud.
In her heart, she knew her sister wasn’t a good person. From childhood, she always found ways to compete with Xie, although Xie never intended to rival her. This relentless competing was certainly perplexing.
Once they stopped the car, it began to rain lightly outside. At the Emperor Hotel entrance, a dozen of her relatives were standing there, waiting, making her wonder why they weren’t inside, perhaps just waiting to watch her humiliated.
Actually, Xie Wanqing’s family was quite tragic. Previously, her family’s living conditions were the best among all relatives. Back then, these relatives were all smiles and cordial, always calling her “little Wanqing,” very affectionate. Her parents were generous, helping relatives make lots of money.
It’s fair to say many rich relatives now owe it to her father’s endeavors. Yet, in the end, her father made everyone successful while their own family turned into paupers. It was indeed a heartbreaking situation.
When her father’s company faced difficulties, initially he thought of requesting help from those relatives. It was feasible, but unexpectedly, those relatives avoided them as if fleeing a disaster. The coldness and warmth of human emotions were sothing Xie Wanqing learned early on. Over the years, he pushed through to change everything through hard work.
Her parents were quite optimistic, not dispirited, and managed to live happily over the years, causing discomfort among the relatives. They always assud Wanqing’s parents were once superior, eager to suppress them now, hence any opportunity is used to flaunt wealth. These years, Li Wanqing has had enough.
“Hey, girl, what are you thinking about, so engrossed?” Su Xuan smiled faintly, snapping his fingers.
“Nothing, nothing. If Su Xuan causes you to lose face today, I’m early apologizing to you. I shouldn’t have dragged you here.”
Xie Wanqing said sowhat embarrassedly. This matter hardly concerned Su Xuan, but seeing her relatives already waiting at the entrance, it was likely instigated by her cousin.
“Silly girl, by the way, are your parents coming today?”
“Probably not coming, Mom and Dad are likely still at the stall.”
As she spoke, Xie Wanqing helped to adjust Su Xuan’s tie, a shirt and a suit she specifically bought for him, spending over ten thousand in total. Of course, she also swapped out the appropriate belt.
At this mont, in front of Emperor Hotel, the relatives were whispering among themselves, waiting to see the show unfold.
“Xiangjun, I heard that our Wanqing found a wealthy boyfriend. Is that true?”
One aunt said.
“Brother, won’t elder sister see for herself later? I’m quite curious too.”
Mo Xiangjun was feeling confident, having found from several classmates that her cousin had no boyfriend, the only potential one was married, nearly entangled in a scandal. So today, she’s prepared to sha her cousin greatly.
“Heh, heh, I haven’t seen that girl in quite a while. I heard she’s started her law firm now.”
“…”
A few relatives exchanged mockery for a while, then began to ingratiate themselves with Mo Xiangjun.
“Xiangjun, you certainly have good fortune. Zhongshu is wealthy, talented, and treats you well. Upon hearing about your family banquet, he’s busy as can be; truly fortunate.”
Said a short-haired woman in her forties, eagerness etched on her face.
“Hehe, Aunt, don’t tease . Oh right, Aunt, has Yiyi found a boyfriend now?”
This so-called aunt was Xie Wanqing’s aunt, and indeed very materialistic, often despising this and that, though her living conditions were hardly better than Xie’s, even worse. Yet she consistently felt above others.
Xie Wanqing’s mother initially asked these relatives to help introduce a boyfriend for her daughter, ending up turning to Xie’s aunt, who disdainfully claid she didn’t know anyone suitable for Wanqing.
Later, only when Mo Xiangjun’s cousin Mo Fangling needed assistance did the aunt beco exceptionally diligent.
“Xiangjun, out of our many family mbers, you’re married the best, a handso, wealthy boyfriend, with a good family background, and he treats you well. Could you find a match for my Yimin?”
This aunt’s words were revolting.
“Hehe, Aunt, that’s no problem. Zhongshu has a few good friends, with respectable family backgrounds. I’ll arrange for Yimin soti.”
Mo Xiangjun was exceedingly pleased today, her vanity overflowing; such an opportunity couldn’t be missed.
“Do you think Wanqing is not coming? Waiting here isn’t ideal. Xiangjun, might want to call Wanqing!”
Several relatives urged, perceiving Wanqing now as a fallen Phoenix, not even a chicken, thinking waiting here was not showing her enough favor.
Just then, a Range Rover drove slowly in, halting a little distance from Emperor entrance. The driver’s door opened, and a man dressed in a suit stepped out and opened a black umbrella.
