Chapter 106 What do you have that compares to him?

An Shixia gave him a disgusted look and pulled Yan Lingyu up to the elevator.

He Huaisheng wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the waiter: "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

He Huaisheng could only watch as the elevator doors closed, cutting off their view of each other.

This scene was witnessed by Zhou Xuerou, who was standing behind. Ever since that incident, she had been abandoned by her aunt, and her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked inside.

She walked lightly behind He Huaisheng, carrying her bag, her arms crossed over her chest, trying to suppress the gloom in her eyes: "Do you really think she'll give up Yan Lingyu for you? What do you have that compares to him?"

He Huaisheng turned around, recognized Zhou Xuerou, and sneered: "Was that your doing last time? At least I didn't lose myself by scheming against others."

Zhou Xuerou gripped her bag tightly, her legs in high heels taut and straight. She held her breath for a long time before finally letting out a breath: "At least I still have a way out. What about you? Don't think I don't know you're pursuing An Shixia because of her status."

At this point, Zhou Xuerou's eyes flashed with disdain: "If she weren't from the An family, you probably wouldn't be so eager, would you?"

He Huaisheng was hit where it hurt, and his defenses crumbled. He strained his arm until the veins bulged before he managed to keep from getting angry on the spot: "So what? An Shixia has been chasing me for three years. As long as I admit my mistake, she will definitely come back to me. Unlike you, you have never been loved."

"What does it matter if I'm not loved? What I want isn't love, but the position of the young mistress of the Yu family. My Zhou family is rich and powerful, and I am worthy of him. You, on the other hand, are just a poor boy with no advantages whatsoever, yet you put on such a haughty act in front of her."

"Rich and powerful? Your Zhou family ceased to exist yesterday, didn't it?"

Zhou Xuerou couldn't control her gaze; it seemed capable of killing.

The two were stabbing each other in the heart, their anger suppressed, their eyes meeting, almost sparking a flame.

Zhou Xuerou still had her arms crossed over her chest, and lightly tapped the surface of her bag with her fingers: "So what if it doesn't exist? I still have my aunt. And you, even if you win over An Shixia, you are still humble in front of her."

"Humble? Have you ever seen how she used to pursue me? I was always the one who was superior, and she was the only one who obeyed me. Besides, I don't care about being humble; I am excellent in my own right."

He Huaisheng has always been an excellent student since childhood, someone who has always been the center of attention. He really doesn't know how to spell the word "inferiority complex".

He never felt inferior, and his background couldn't change anything; he would achieve success through his own hard work.

Zhou Xuerou was wrong about this.

"You think you're so high and mighty, that you don't feel inferior because school is the place where you least need to show your identity. But once you enter the workforce, this gap will only widen. I don't believe you've never been harassed at work."

Thinking of the humiliation he suffered on his first day of work, He Huaisheng felt somewhat resentful: "So what? My abilities are there, it's their loss if they make things difficult for me."

"Oh? Do you know whose company is making things difficult for you? It's Yan Lingyu's. Do you think all that difficulty is normal?"

He Huaisheng's pupils contracted slightly. He really didn't know about this. He only knew that every time he entered that company, no one would give him a friendly look.

His fists clenched tighter, and he couldn't listen anymore. He turned to leave.

Zhou Xuerou chuckled as she watched his retreating figure: "I want to collaborate with you. Are you sure you want to leave now?"

*

The Emperor's Cabin was simply decorated, with a slight birthday atmosphere.

Friends arrived one after another, with Xiao Mushen and his two companions being the first to arrive.

They carried the gifts and exchanged knowing glances with the two of them.

"Brother Yu, things are going very well."

Xiao Mushen placed the gift on the table and clicked his tongue twice.

Wu Yang patted Xiao Mushen on the shoulder: "What gift have you prepared this year?"

"The usual, what about you?"

Xiao Mushen glanced at Wu Yang's gift box, which seemed to be much larger than in previous years, and he became somewhat curious.

"Then I'll be very innovative this year."

The two opened the gifts; one was a watch, and the other was a camera.

"Huh? Why are you giving me a camera?"

Xiao Mushen didn't understand Wu Yangde's gift at all, and stared at it for a long time.

"You don't understand, do you? We have a sister-in-law now, so if we give her a camera, Brother Yu can take pictures of her!"

Wu Yang was quite pleased with himself, feeling that his gift was definitely the best of the entire event.

Xiao Mushen slapped his head hard: "Oh my god, how could I not have thought of that!"

Yan Lingyu reached out and examined the camera, a satisfied look on his face: "Not bad."

He looked at An Shixia and thought to himself, "I'll try out this camera in a couple of days to see if it works."

Wu Yangzhi chuckled, "Look, even Brother Yu likes it!"

Shen Tongtong also took out her own gift. Actually, she didn't know what to give, so she asked An Shixia for advice. It was an ornament.

The gift wasn't expensive; it was nothing special.

All eyes immediately fell on An Shixia: "We've all shown our gifts, what did your girlfriend give you?"

Shen Tongtong looked at An Shixia with a gossipy expression.

Xiao Mushen kept glancing at the gift box behind An Shixia.

Before An Shixia could speak, the door to the private room was opened from the outside, revealing a group of scions of prominent families led by Zheng Yiyuan.

Zheng Yiyuan was unusually serious, as he didn't bring a female companion: "What are you talking about?"

He acted as if he were one of the guests, pulling up a stool and sitting down.

"It's about the gift you should give to someone's girlfriend."

Xiao Mushen joked.

Zheng Yiyuan and his group put down their gifts. They were all seasoned veterans, and the gifts they gave were things from auctions—valuable but impractical.

"Xiaoxia, I also want to know what gift you gave me."

Zheng Yiyuan saw their posts on WeChat Moments yesterday and knew they were officially together.

"Hey, everyone, hold on a minute. Let's guess and see who can guess right?"

Wu Yang had a fun idea and asked everyone about it.

The proposal was approved, and everyone agreed.

"Since it was my suggestion, I'll go first. I bet your sister-in-law gave me a tie, the kind that can tightly bind Brother Yu."

"I guess it's a belt; giving this as a gift shows closeness."

"Then I'll guess the cuff."

"You're all too materialistic. In my opinion, what Xia gave me was definitely not an ordinary gift. I guess it was something she made herself."

After Zheng Yiyuan finished speaking, several gazes fell on him: "Your scope is too general, it doesn't count, it needs to be specific."

An Shixia watched them guessing back and forth, and only Zheng Yiyuan's guess was relatively close, but he was still wrong.

"Alright, alright, stop guessing, let Xiaoxia reveal the answer."

An Shixia had already placed the box on the table, and everyone was eagerly anticipating what was inside.
