Chapter 18 Where Money Is, Love Is
Yan Buyu paused for a moment, realizing that they hadn't been talking about this topic just now.
But she patiently explained, "I don't have a good relationship with him. It's just that you sleep late and can't get up, and you've been drinking, so you can't take me home. He just gave me a ride on his way to the company."
Shen Yunqi felt that something was wrong.
Without saying a word, she earnestly educated him: "Brother, you are brothers after all. You should still treat him well. Uncle Shen has always wanted you to join the company. You will have a lot to learn from him then."
Shen Yunqi was amused by her and reached out to pinch her cheek, saying, "You're so old-fashioned, even more so than your mother."
Without saying a word, she pulled his hand away. "Behave yourself. I'm counting on you to support me for the rest of my life. You should study hard, make more money, live a good life, and spend more time with your mother."
The brother and sister got into the car with smiles on their faces, unaware of the gazes of two girls at the street corner.
Wang Yaqi asked Shen Yunqi to go shopping, but received no reply.
She went out with her best friend but saw him driving a luxury car and flirting with a well-behaved female student.
The two of them even argued and got into his car.
Chen Jing also saw it, her eyes full of sarcasm. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, isn't that Young Master Shen? Isn't there something going on at the company? What are you doing here? That girl should be from the nearby university, right?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wang Yaqi's face. Not wanting her best friend to expose her lie, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oh, that's his sister. He told me that his sister had something to do."
Chen Jing said "Oh," and glanced at Wang Yaqi. "Little sister, Young Master Shen is such a good brother. He put aside his company affairs and left his girlfriend behind to be with her. But I remember, his little sister isn't related to him by blood?"
Those who know best know where to stab someone in the back.
Every word she said struck a chord with Wang Yaqi.
She wasn't sure if the girl was her sister, but she remembered how happy Shen Yunqi had been when he called her sister.
She scoffed, "I'm not his girlfriend, and I haven't agreed to be with him yet."
Chen Jing changed the subject at the opportune moment.
After being stabbed too many times, it becomes unentertaining.
The brother and sister got into the car, and Shen Yunqi asked, "I've noticed you're terrified of me dying? You keep telling me to live well. What, do I look like someone who'd do something drastic to commit suicide?"
Yan Buyu's heart skipped a beat.
In his previous life, Shen Yunqi was twenty-four years old when he went skiing with his friends and was caught in an avalanche, dying in a foreign land.
In this life, she instilled in Shen Yunqi the idea that skiing was dangerous from a young age.
After the New Year this year, she felt uneasy, but Shen Yunqi, having been lectured by her over the years, had never mentioned skiing.
She didn't think much of it.
Shen Yunqi's sudden remark today left Yan Buyu feeling conflicted and awkward.
Unable to even manage a forced smile, she looked at him with utmost seriousness and spoke very softly, "Brother, may you live to be a hundred years old."
Shen Yunqi took a moment to pat her head and said, "A hundred years isn't enough. How about I live to be one hundred and four and then attend your 100th birthday party?"
Yan Buyu's eyes welled up with tears, and she slapped his hand away. "You should quit smoking first. In two years, you'll be so pungent that people will hold their noses wherever you go. You'll be a stinky old man over a hundred years old."
"Tsk," Shen Yunqi pinched her cheek again, "You never wish me anything good. Boss Shen smokes too, why don't you say anything to him?"
"Why should I care about him? Besides, what right do I have to say anything to him?" Yan Buyu glanced at his brother with disdain. "You need to know your place, brother."
Shen Yunqi was displeased. "What status? What position? You are the dignified third young lady of the Shen family. Saying a few words to him is giving him face."
“He’s the eldest grandson of the Shen family, while I’m fostered in your family with no blood relation.” Yan Buyu counted on his fingers for Shen Yunqi.
Shen Yunqi didn't like hearing her say that.
"Once I'm in the company and have money, I'll take you out of here. You won't have to look at his icy face anymore, and you'll be able to hold your head high!"
"Brother, would you like some water?" Yan Buyu fawned over, unscrewing a bottle of water and handing it to him.
Before the two had even driven home, Wang Yaqi called.
It automatically connects to the car's built-in speakers.
Now Yan Buyu can openly listen to gossip.
"Yunqi~ Have you seen my message?"
To be honest, this girl has a really nice voice; it turns out my brother likes this type.
She always thought Shen Yunqi would like girls who were particularly cool and liked exciting sports.
"Yaqi, I'm so sorry, I came to pick up my sister from school today and didn't check my messages in time. Are you still at the mall? Is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you."
Shen Yunqi's voice softened, unlike when he usually spoke to her.
Yan Buyu smiled broadly, thinking how amusing it was to watch her brother date.
He really seems like a young man in love, not like an older brother at all.
"Hmm...then you and your sister eat well. She's still growing, so you need to take good care of her," Wang Yaqi said in her soft voice. "I'm with my best friend. Oh, I saw the bag you gave me. The pink one is so pretty."
Shen Yunqi smiled gently, "Buy it if you like it, I'll transfer the money to you, okay?"
"Yunqi, no need. Although I like the pink one too, the white one is enough for me. You save the money to buy your sister something delicious."
"It's just a bag, why should you make yourself suffer?" Shen Yunqi raised an eyebrow. "Alright, my sister isn't a pig, she can't eat that much."
"Thank you, darling, I love you."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yunqi's smile hadn't faded as he promptly transferred tens of thousands of yuan.
Yan Buyu calculated in his mind, took out his phone and transferred 200,000 yuan to him. "This is the pocket money I got from you this year. Take it and buy your girlfriend a bag."
Shen Yunqi felt a sense of frustration. His girlfriend was worried that he couldn't afford to support his sister, while his sister was worried that he couldn't afford to buy his girlfriend a bag.
He's the legitimate second young master of the Shen family, why would he do this?!
"Yan Buyu, shut up and put the money away!" Shen Yunqi said sternly. "If you say another word, I'll spank you."
The two got out of the car and walked in, talking as they went.
Yan Buyu pouted, "Dating is expensive, and you only have pocket money, no salary. I'm helping you out, and you're criticizing me. Take it or leave it!"
"I never thought I'd see a return on my investment. Usually they skimp on everything, but today they've really gone all out?" Shen Yunqi joked without saying a word.
"Hmph!" Yan Buyu turned his head away and ignored him.
"Who bled?" Shen Yanzhou entered the room shortly after Shen Yunqi's question and frowned upon hearing the latter part of Shen Yunqi's question.
His gaze fell on Yan Buyu, and his tone softened, "Buyu is injured?"
Yan Buyu called out softly, "Big brother, I'm not hurt. I was just playing around with you."
Shen Yunqi was unhappy that Shen Yanzhou had taken away his job of taking Yan Buyu to school. He pulled Yan Buyu into his arms and said arrogantly, "Yan Buyu gave me a lot of money today. She said that love is where money is, and she loves me, her brother, the most."
Idiot.
Shen Yanzhou, who never swore, suddenly had this thought pop into his head.
