Chapter 214: Listen to my argument
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Where do you live now?"
Shen Yanhui said easily: "I live in a small apartment that I bought myself before. I bought that apartment secretly with the money I earned from investment. My father didn't know about it, but he couldn't stop me from living there."
"Do you have any money on you?" Xie Zhaoyuan reached out and took a strawberry, biting off the bright red tip of the strawberry in one bite.
Shen Yan nodded: "I have money. The original owner of this body is the only daughter of the Shen family. She has saved a lot of private money over the years. Even if I don't work for the rest of my life, I will be able to live comfortably."
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan was relieved. "That's great. But what I don't understand is why your father suddenly forced you to go on a blind date so hard."
Shen Yanhui curled her lips in silence: "Because I'm a woman. Although he loves me, he is not confident in handing the Shen Group over to me. He always thinks that I will mess up the entire company. So he urgently wants me to marry a man of the right age from another family, so that the two families can protect the Shen Group together."
“Not really…” Xie Zhaoyuan frowned, unable to understand Shen Yingshan’s thoughts, “Your ability to manage the company is seen even by outsiders like us, so why would your father not trust you so much?”
Shen Yanhui shook his head: "It's not that he doesn't trust me, he just doesn't trust women. Although the Shen Group is not a very powerful company in Yuncheng, it is also an existence that cannot be underestimated. He thinks that I, a woman, have no way of running the company on my own, so he wants to force me to get married."
"Marriage..." Xie Zhaoyuan felt uncomfortable after hearing this word. "Your father's train of thought is really peculiar. He is not confident in handing the company over to his own daughter, but is confident in handing it over to a strange man from another family. Isn't he afraid that if the marriage is successful, both the company and you will be taken over by others?"
"Eh..." Shen Yanhui sighed again, "I don't know what he's thinking. Besides, the marriage partners he's eyeing are really ugly. Not only are they ugly, but each one is more bizarre than the other."
Xie Zhaoyuan: "How weird is it?"
Shen Yanhui rolled her eyes and said angrily, "There was a young bald guy who asked me if I was a virgin as soon as he saw me. He didn't want me if I wasn't. There was also a cube with the same height and weight as me. After eating three steaks and two servings of seafood fried rice, he suddenly told me very seriously that if I wanted to marry him, I had to give up my high heels. Because he is not very tall, I can never be taller than him when we stand together!"
"Hahaha!" Xie Zhaoyuan laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. "Anything else?"
Shen Yanhui rested his hands on his knees, his face full of expression: "Of course!"
She got angry when she talked about blind dates, and her originally lifeless face instantly became energetic.
She pulled out all those weird blind date candidates and flogged them one by one in front of Xie Zhaoyuan. The more Xie Zhaoyuan listened, the funnier it became, and by the end he collapsed on the sofa laughing.
"I'm convinced. They all have two eyes and one nose, so how can they be so weird?" Shen Yanhui felt angry and funny at the same time, his expression was distorted by torture.
Xie Zhaoyuan smiled so hard that his face turned red: "You have encountered so many strange people. Your luck is extraordinary."
Shen Yan held his forehead with his hand, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't want to.
"Hahahahahaha!" Xie Zhaoyuan enjoyed watching the fun and laughed particularly arrogantly.
Shen Yanhui looked at her helplessly. After a moment, he suddenly called her seriously.
"Thank you, Zhaoyuan."
"Hmm?" Xie Zhaoyuan turned and looked at her.
"You..." She said in a tangled tone, "Don't you blame me anymore?"
Xie Zhaoyuan knew what she was referring to, so he said openly, "That's weird."
Shen Yanhui's heart skipped a beat: "Since you blame me, why are you still so nice to me?"
Xie Zhaoyuan answered frankly: "Because you helped me. Although there is a deal between us, what you did for me has far exceeded the scope of the deal."
"For example, on the day of the live broadcast, if you hadn't been controlling the situation outside and stopped Qin Sisi in time when she rushed over, I'm afraid my child wouldn't have been born so smoothly."
"And... based on the current situation, this deal is actually unfair to you."
"Hmm?" Shen Yanhui's brain was working particularly slowly today. She didn't understand such a simple sentence.
"Why do you think it's unfair?" she asked bewilderedly.
Xie Zhaoyuan was embarrassed: "We agreed on a deal. You help me get what I want, and I help you get the favorability you need. But now, I can't even count the number of things you've done for me, and I've only given you a few points of favorability that are better than nothing."
"You gave too much, and I gave too little. How can there be fairness between us? Plus, you bought so many clothes and toys for Xiang Xiang, and bought me several boxes of supplements. I'm afraid the money I owe you has piled up like a mountain..."
"But this doesn't stop me from blaming you. I haven't forgiven you for what you did to me before."
"You..." Shen Yanhui was almost moved by what she said, but she changed the subject and started to stick her neck out and act arrogant again.
"Why don't you forgive me?" Shen Yanhui tried hard to hold back his laughter. "You said you owed me a lot, so why can't you forgive me for what I did before?"
"Because merits and demerits cannot offset each other." Xie Zhaoyuan slumped on the sofa, looking at her lazily, "To me, merits are merits and demerits are demerits. The two cannot be compared at all, let alone offset each other. You have helped me a lot, and you have been very good to me and Xiang Xiang. I am grateful to you and am willing to be your friend."
"But this doesn't mean that what you did in the past can be forgotten. You deliberately approached Pei Xingzhi to interfere with our relationship. You said bad things to me many times in order to force me to leave. I still remember all of this."
"I... I think I need to make a few excuses." Shen Yanhui raised his chin guiltily and said in a low voice.
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Then you can make excuses."
Shen Yan scratched his forehead and said, "When I approached Pei Xingzhi, I didn't mean to interfere with your relationship. It was the system that told me that only if I drove you away would I have a chance to stay by Pei Xingzhi's side and gain his favor."
"I don't like Pei Xingzhi. I did that just to finish the mission quickly so I can go home."
"Humph," Xie Zhaoyuan sneered, and suddenly became angry, "You wanted to complete the task, so you scolded me for no reason. I didn't provoke you!"
"You're still in confinement, don't get angry." Shen Yanhui reached out and patted her knee, trying to comfort her, "I can also make excuses for this matter."
