Chapter 448 Destined to Never Live a Poor Life
Xu Yue: Ta-da! Your room is all ready. You can stay here whenever you come to Beijing. I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow and I'll stop by to see you. You have to treat me to a big meal.
Shen Xuewei replied with an "okay," and wanted to chat with Xu Yue a little longer, when someone peeked over from the side.
"Weiwei, we're all talking, why are you playing on your phone?"
Shen Xuewei's slightly upturned lips curled into a smile as she turned off her phone screen and put it back in her bag.
"It's nothing, just some work-related matters to take care of."
The oblivious person chuckled and patted Shen Xuewei's shoulder affectionately.
"I knew it. Even after all this time since graduation, Weiwei is still the busiest person in our class."
"Hey, I heard your investment company has been doing pretty well with its investments over the years. Weiwei, let me tell you, my husband recently started his own company, but he's just lacking some investment. Weiwei, why don't you take a look at my husband's company? It's sure to make money..."
Shen Xuewei replied evasively, "The company doesn't have much money right now, let's talk about it later."
The man was about to speak again when Huang Xin, who had rushed over, interrupted him.
"Qiaoyan, Qiaoyan, move aside! The seat next to Weiwei is mine. Go back to your seat, I need to lean against Weiwei."
She squeezed in, and Lu Jiayi followed her in as well. Qiaoyan had no choice but to give way.
After the two sat down, Huang Xin glanced at Qiao Yan not far away and spoke quietly to Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, don't pay any attention to her. Lately, she's been trying to get investment for her husband everywhere. That company has no future, nothing to offer, and if you throw money into it, it'll just be throwing money down the drain..."
As they were talking, Lu Jiayi greeted Shen Xuewei, who responded politely.
Lu Jiayi, whom we haven't seen for several years, has an elegant and wealthy demeanor, completely different from before.
Su Shu once said that she wouldn't be able to hold onto her position as the second wife of the Su family, but Lu Jiayi not only held onto it, but also outlived her parents-in-law.
However, Su Tiancheng was fickle and easily bored. Even after Lu Jiayi had been married to him for several years, she couldn't escape the fate of being rejected by him.
Fortunately, Lu Jiayi won over the child, who insisted that she was his mother. For the sake of the child, the two did not divorce.
However, Lu Jiayi couldn't control Su Tiancheng's outings, nor did she dare to.
Today they are here to attend the wedding of their college class monitor. They had a good relationship with the monitor and had kept in touch occasionally over the years, so it was a rare occasion for them to gather at this wedding.
There were four people in the dormitory, but Su Shu was missing.
Su Shu's career has not been going smoothly in the years since graduation.
She failed in three consecutive business ventures and has already sold all her handbags and jewelry.
Fortunately, she still has houses and shops. Although she can't sell them, she can rent them out, so her life is still much better than that of ordinary people.
Realizing she wasn't cut out for entrepreneurship, she finally gave up trying and settled down, staying in her house and shop and honestly collecting rent to make a living.
At the time, she estimated that these difficult days would end in another year or two.
Because when she turns 30, she can inherit the assets left to her by her mother and become a billionaire.
Her mother left her 12.7% of the shares in the Pinyue Group, which is worth billions of dollars, ensuring she will never live a poor life.
The group of old classmates applauded as they watched the bride and groom exchange rings on stage.
After the wedding, a group of old classmates said they wanted to find another place to get together and have some fun.
Shen Xuewei made an excuse that she had a date that evening and didn't join in the fun.
When she got home and sat on the sofa, she received a call from Nie Shuqin.
"Hey, sister-in-law."
"Hey, Weiwei, it's me, it's me."
"I thought you were joking with me before, but I didn't expect you really wouldn't come to Xiao Wu's wedding. You have no idea, Xiao Wu's face was so dark when he didn't see you today, he almost couldn't hold it in in front of so many guests. And also..."
Nie Shuqin described Shen Xuewu's expression at that time to Shen Xuewei with great enthusiasm, her tone exaggerated and humorous.
It's quite a coincidence that not only is Shen Xuewei's old class monitor from university getting married today, but Shen Xuewu has also chosen to get married today.
Shen Xuewei never intended to attend. What business was it of hers that Shen Xuewu got married?
Among the Shen family members, she only gives a few glances when it comes to her brother's affairs; there's no need to give so much attention to the others.
However, hearing about all the unpleasant things at Shen Xuewu's wedding made her happy.
Nie Shuqin chatted with Shen Xuewei for quite a while, until she heard Shen Xuewei say that she was a little tired. She told Shen Xuewei to get some rest, and then reluctantly hung up the phone.
Shen Xuewen frowned and said, "Why are you telling Weiwei these things? Xiao Wu is getting married today, so don't say these things."
Nie Shuqin glared at her, "Why can't I say?"
"He acts all refined and polite in public, but at home he bosses me around and treats me like a servant. Has he ever treated me like his sister-in-law? Does he ever respect you as his older brother?"
"And your parents, I don't even want to talk about them, they're so biased it's unbelievable. I really have to ask, are you their biological son? Or were you picked up from a trash can? Oh, three sons, and you're the only one who has nothing."
"The younger two... for this one's wedding, we'll buy her a house and a car; for the other, we'll send her to good schools, expensive schools, and even have her learn musical instruments, singing, and dancing. Can an ordinary family like ours afford that?"
Nie Shuqin had a lot of anger to vent, and the more Shen Xuewen told her not to speak, the more she wanted to talk.
She and Shen Xuewen got married, but they only had a wedding banquet in their hometown. She didn't ask for any dowry, gold jewelry, or anything like that.
I originally thought that with her being so considerate, I would have a good life after marrying into the family.
As a result, farts had a good time.
She's still heavily pregnant, and she still has to cook and mop the floor for the whole family.
Shen Xuewen was considerate of her and would help her with some things, but he was pulled away by Chen Fangmin as soon as he started.
I originally thought that this was how this family treated their daughter-in-law, but it turned out that things completely changed when it came to my brother's wife.
Cen Meiyu and Shen Xuewu are classmates and both are locals from Jinshi.
The two had only been working for a year when they started talking about marriage.
They want both a house and a car.
The elderly couple didn't have enough money, so they started eyeing her and Shen Xuewen's money, and even went to Shen Xuewen privately to ask for it.
If it weren't for the fact that she held the reins of their finances, the money might have been given to the elderly couple by Shen Xuewen.
However, the thought that half of Shen Xuewen's monthly salary goes to his elderly parents comes to mind.
She was furious because she estimated that the elderly couple had used half of it to buy a house for Shen Xuewu.
Shen Xuewen stood to the side, holding his head, looking helpless and frustrated.
He initially intended to pretend not to hear and remain silent, but seeing Nie Shuqin becoming increasingly agitated, he quickly advised her:
"Don't get so worked up. Think about the baby in your belly. Xiao Wu is married and has moved out, so it'll be quieter at home. Isn't that good? And about the house, we already have one..."
He spoke the last sentence very softly, and then subconsciously looked towards the door, afraid that the other people in the house would hear him.
When the topic turned to the baby in her belly and the house in Huacheng, Nie Shuqin's anger subsided by half.
The parents-in-law favor their two younger sons, and the only sister-in-law in the family also favors her and Shen Xuewen. Compared to that, it doesn't seem like a loss.
However, she was also a little curious as to why her in-laws never mentioned their daughter, who was so capable.
Her question reminded Shen Xuewen of something from a long time ago.
