Chapter 17 Does it hurt to spend this money?

Lin Yuan deliberately raised her hand and brushed the limited edition bag in her hand, with contempt and disdain in her eyes.

"I'm not like some people. No matter how capable they are at work, the little money they earn from working so hard every day can't even cover a fraction of the cost of this bag of mine!"

I have to say, for ordinary office workers, this sentence is really heartbreaking!

Yan Ruo gritted her teeth, these damn rich people!

But no matter what she thought in her heart, she remained calm on the surface, and her main goal was to lose the battle rather than the battle!

"Miss Lin is lucky. She happened to be in the situation when Mrs. Lin needed a daughter!"

"But after all, the Lin family is in business! I just wonder how they'll make back the money they've spent on Miss Lin over the years."

They both knew very well that the Lin family was not a good family. They adopted Lin Yuan with the intention of letting her develop a relationship with Xu Shaoyu from an early age.

But after experiencing the great changes of that year, Mrs. Xu was determined to find a daughter-in-law with a good family background who could provide support to Xu Shaoyu. She was obviously not as close to Lin Yuan as before.

Now her only value is to find someone to marry who can bring benefits to the Lin family.

Lin Yuan had already accepted her fate. A flicker of reluctance flashed across her eyes as she sneered:

"No matter what happens, I will marry someone with a good family background and money to spend freely!"

"Unlike Secretary Yan, who worked so hard behind my cousin for so many years, not only did he get nothing in return, but in the end he had to pack up and leave!"

If he didn't care, he said:

"Really? Why did I hear that the second young master of the Zhou family is not only a playboy, but also a violent one? I'm afraid of the money; it'll hurt to spend it!"

The second son of the Zhou family, the marriage partner that the Lin family found for Lin Yuan.

To call him a playboy is an understatement. It is said that his ex-wife was beaten away. He has a very bad reputation in the wealthy circle of North City, and the rich ladies all avoid him.

The Lin family was willing to sacrifice their reputation and, in order to marry into the Zhou family, they were willing to marry Lin Yuan into the Zhou family.

Thinking of Zhou Ershao's personality and the various rumors about him in Beicheng, Lin Yuan's face turned pale, but he still remained stubborn.

"It's just a rumor from the outside world, don't take it seriously!"

"It's you!" As if thinking of something funny, Lin Yuan looked Yan Ru up and down, and saw that she was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, with a sarcastic look on her face.

"Don't you know that the Su family is holding a charity dinner today? In the past, you have always been my cousin's female companion on such occasions. Let me guess, who will be my cousin's female companion tonight?"

Lin Yuan stared at Yan Ruo with his eyes, and when he saw her expression turned cold, he couldn't help but feel in a good mood!

She spoke slowly with malice.

"I guess it's Yun Zhinian, the eldest daughter of the Yun family! After all, she's my cousin's fiancée!"

Yan Ruo suppressed the bitterness in her heart and said without showing any weakness:

"So, Miss Lin will be Mr. Zhou's female companion tonight!"

Her expression returned to calm, and she didn't seem to be affected by Lin Yuan's words at all. The corners of her lips were slightly raised and her tone was relaxed.

"It looks like Miss Lin is getting married soon! I hope you have fun tonight!"

What Lin Yuan hated most was that Yan Ruo always looked nonchalant and didn't care about anything.

Today, I finally found her sore spot, but still couldn't gain any advantage. I couldn't help but get frustrated.

"Of course we'll have a lot of fun! It's a pity for Secretary Yan, I'm afraid she won't even be eligible to attend such banquets in the future!"

After saying that, he left angrily!

Yan Ruo rolled his eyes at her back.

"What dinner party? Isn't it just unpaid overtime? Who do you think cares?"

When I turned around, I saw Chi Yu's pair of bright and glowing eyes, and I couldn't help but be scared!

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I didn't expect it! Yan Ruoruo, you can actually be so sharp-tongued!"

Chi Yu's face was full of disbelief. In her memory, Yan Ruo always spoke softly to everyone and didn't seem like the kind of person who would argue or argue with others.

Yan Ruo laughed and shook his head.

"Please! I won't offend anyone unless they offend me! You used to think I had a good temper, but that was only because no one messed with me!"

Thinking of what Lin Yuan had just said, Yan Ruo couldn't help but take out her cell phone.

There is no other information except advertising push.

She frowned slightly, unable to tell whether it was a feeling of loss or discomfort. She felt depressed, and the good mood she had just had from petting the cat was gone!

I was also absent-minded while shopping afterwards.

Although he had eaten a lot in the afternoon, it was not yet five o'clock when Chi Yu found a restaurant that was very popular and had good reviews.

After waiting in line for nearly half an hour, the two finally got a seat, and Yan Ruo received a message from Xu Shaoyu.

【I'll pick you up at 8pm to have dinner together! 】

Looking up at Chi Yu who was ordering food across from him, Yan Ruo put away his phone without even replying to the message!

Eight o'clock in the evening!

It’s because I have to go to the Su family’s dinner party with Yun Zhinian before eight o’clock!

Unexpectedly, Xu Shaoyu, who is considered to be clean and self-disciplined by outsiders and only cares about work, also has a time management master between two women!

What a... scumbag!

The restaurant that Chi Yu found is really good and the food is delicious.

Yan Ruo turned his grief and anger into strength, and when he went out again, he was already full!

Xu Shaoyu didn't send her any more messages, but instead received gossip on her phone about [President Xu and the eldest daughter of the Yun family appeared at a charity gala].

She pursed her lips tightly, but her eyes were calm.

Over the years, whether as a secretary or a girlfriend, she never refused Xu Shaoyu's decisions.

Perhaps it was because of this that Xu Shaoyu felt that no matter what happened, he only needed to notify her and there was no need to ask for her opinion!

Noticing that Yan Ruo was in a bad mood, Chi Yu suggested going home early to rest after taking a walk outside to digest the food.

Just as I entered the house, Xu Shaoyu called.

Yan Ruo threw the phone on the sofa and didn't want to answer it.

Chi Yu took a quick glance and saw Xu Shaoyu's name, instantly filled with indignation.

"This scumbag, according to his cousin, shouldn't he be attending a dinner with his fiancée right now? Why is he even calling you?"

She frowned, thinking of something, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"You're not going to work overtime at this time, are you?"

"Puchi!" Yan Ruo was immediately amused by her guess.

"Although Xu Shaoyu is a bit of a scumbag, he's not so inhumane!"

Downstairs in the apartment building, Assistant Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw that his boss had made several phone calls but no one answered.

He spoke carefully: "Mr. Xu, Secretary Yan seems to be in a bad mood recently?"

Xu Shaoyu frowned slightly and looked at Special Assistant Liu with suspicion.

"You've been observing Secretary Yan...quite carefully?"

"We're all colleagues, we bump into each other all the time, and I didn't observe them specifically!"

Special Assistant Liu turned his head, slapped his mouth lightly with his hand, laughed, and quickly changed the subject.

"Mr. Xu, since you have already made an appointment with Secretary Yan for dinner, why don't you just bring her along to the dinner tonight?"

Why is Special Assistant Liu talking so much nonsense today?

Xu Shaoyu's mouth was tense because the call was not connected for a long time, and his brows were slightly lowered.
