Hmph, no one can ruin the relationship between my eldest sister and Xiao An. This is related to whether she can get close to the Bai family in the future. Only by clinging to the Bai family's powerful backer can she develop better and gain a foothold in the capital.
After returning from the Bai family, Lin Xiazhu summoned Yan Xin to discuss making money, asking her what other investments she could make, as Lin Xiazhu wanted to earn more money.
The two met at a Western restaurant and talked while eating.
"Why are you suddenly so motivated? What happened to your lazy dream? Have you given it up?" Yan Xin was surprised by her change.
"I will work hard to earn money to support my family in the future," Lin Xiazhu said very seriously.
“You can support your family with just that coffee shop, there’s no need to work so hard. You must be hiding something from me. Be honest, what exactly are you planning?” Yan Xin squinted, desperately trying to figure out what Lin Xiazhu was up to.
Lin Xiazhu glanced at her and said casually, "It's just about supporting the family. Suddenly there's pressure, so I have no choice but to strive for success."
"Stop beating around the bush, speak plainly." Yan Xin used her fork to forcefully poke a piece of steak, urging him impatiently.
The person hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Well, Xiao An confessed to me a few days ago, and I accepted. We're dating now. I'm thinking that if we get married in the future, we'll have to raise children, and everything will cost money. I don't have enough money right now."
"Are you here to brag to me? The Bai family is the richest family in Beijing. Xiao An will never be short of money. You should be more worried about whether she can get married smoothly in the future." Yan Xin clicked her tongue a few times, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
That's fast! They were just flirting a few days ago, and now they're dating. They might really get married soon.
"You were so swearing you'd never get married in either lifetime, and now, after just a few days, you're already thinking about marriage." Yan Xin looked at her with disdain, feeling that the love had vanished. What happened to our promise to stay single together and grow old together?
"Isn't it because I haven't met someone worthy of my love yet? I couldn't make a move if Xiao An didn't express his feelings. Now that he's willing, how can I miss out?" Lin Xiazhu said confidently, without a hint of guilt.
"I suspect your motives for bringing Xiao An home weren't pure. You must have seen how good-looking he was, so you spent money and effort to bring him home as a child husband. How insidious!" Yan Xin said with an expression that seemed to see right through her.
"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense. I really didn't have this idea at first. Later, as Xiao An grew up, I started to have some thoughts, but I wasn't sure." Lin Xiazhu refused to admit that she had long coveted Xiao An.
"Grow up? How old are you? He was only seventeen when he returned to the Bai family, still a minor. You were already eyeing him back then, weren't you?" She caught you red-handed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You know how I treated him. I really treated him like a younger brother back then. But then Bai Junbo came looking for me, and that's when I started to overthink things."
Lin Xiazhu spoke softer and softer. Well, she felt a little guilty. After all, she had watched Xiao An grow up, and suddenly they were dating. It was inevitable that some people would have wild thoughts.
"Alright, I'll believe you for now. Xiao An likes you anyway, so what does it matter what outsiders say?" Yan Xin didn't really want to delve into anything; she just wanted to satisfy her curiosity.
"There aren't any good investments for now. You have quite a bit of savings, right? You should focus on running your coffee shop. Didn't you say that Old Master Bai left all his assets to Xiao An? It must be at least several hundred million. Xiao An can live a worry-free life even if he doesn't do anything." The Bai family's wealth is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Let alone the Bai family, even if she were frugal and inherited their wealth, she could live a life of leisure without ever having to worry about starving.
So much? Xiao An and his friends have started a company together, and he also works for Songbai Group, so he doesn't have to worry about money at all. However, Lin Xiazhu still decided to work harder and earn more money.
There was no other way; having a boyfriend gave her the motivation to make money, and she couldn't let Xiao An see her颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, decadent, or demoralized) side.
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Taozi has adapted very well to the art school and has made some close friends. She usually lives at school and goes home on weekends. She rarely goes out to play during the day and helps out at the coffee shop. She is very well-behaved.
Lin Xiaoxue was much busier, and she was rarely seen on weekends. Youcai would only come home once a week, so there was no way to expect her to come to the coffee shop to help.
However, she suddenly appeared at the coffee shop this weekend, bringing friends with her. There were seven or eight people in total, including herself. Lin Xiazhu was in the small office at the time and didn't go out; she came in by herself.
"Big sister, I brought some friends here to spend money. No need for discounts. They are all rich people's daughters. I will bring more people in the future. I don't have to worry about not having business." Lin Xiaoxue's eyes gleamed, and she looked very proud.
"Don't cause trouble. Where did you meet a bunch of fake best friends? The coffee shop doesn't need people like you. You should focus on your studies. If you dare to go astray, I'll teach you a lesson." Lin Xiazhu didn't even glance at her. It's no wonder this girl doesn't have any reliable friends.
"Big sister, don't be so rigid. I've been in Beijing for over four months and have seen a lot. I won't make friends randomly. I'm a top student from Peking University, and all my friends are highly educated and of high quality. Don't look down on me."
Lin Xiaoxue was always eloquent. In order to gain her older sister's approval, she used her silver tongue to annoy Lin Xiazhu to no end.
"Alright, stop talking, I'm going out to take a look." Lin Xiazhu was defeated.
"Yes, that's right, you need to make more friends so your business will be better. Sister, let me tell you, leave the networking to me from now on. I guarantee I'll bring in lots of 'suckers' for our shop." She originally wanted to say "suckers," but then realized that the word wasn't appropriate for a friend, so she immediately changed her words.
She's so capable, people who don't know her might think she's a pimp.
Lin Xiazhu stepped out from behind the counter, but before she even got close, she recognized several familiar faces from afar. Her lips twitched, and she turned around and went back to her office.
"Big sister, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xiaoxue didn't understand what she was doing.
"Among those people, isn't there one named Feifei, one named Yuyu, or Manman or something?" Lin Xiazhu pressed her temples, looking troubled.
"How do you know?" Lin Xiaoxue's eyes widened. Before she could even introduce them, her older sister called out their names. "Big sister, you know them? Let me tell you, although these three aren't from Beijing, their family runs factories and companies, and they have very wealthy relatives in Beijing."
Lin Xiazhu already knew that they had relatives in the capital, but she only found out from Lin Xiaoxue that they were related to the Yan family by marriage. The three women's aunt was the wife of Yan Xin's cousin. The relationship was quite complicated, and it was also quite a coincidence.
"I don't want to see them, and you should also avoid contact with them in the future." After briefly explaining what happened on the train, Lin Xiazhu began to tell them to leave.
I never expected those three people to have offended my older sister. What a small world! But it's not a big deal. "Big sister, they're our guests. We won't lose anything by letting them spend money. Just don't see them. We still need to make money."
