Chapter 13 Using Money to Get Rid of Men
"Let her in."
Sheng Tingwang's voice came from inside.
Xu Chuyin swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue. "Then come in first. Tingwang is still resting. Don't disturb him."
"I see."
Wen Shuyi looked around at the house, which wasn't very big.
The renovation took several years.
The furniture is also very simple.
A bouquet of lilies sits on the dining table, giving it a homey feel.
Nevertheless.
Wen Shuyi still felt that the Sheng family's actions were somewhat unethical.
Sheng Tingwang, using the name of the Sheng family, has earned so much glory outside.
Over the years, they haven't even been given a decent house.
After moving out of the Sheng family, he could only live in the house that belonged to his biological parents decades ago.
It's truly disheartening.
"Uncle Tang, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know." Wen Shuyi put down his bag, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to get to work.
Uncle Tang didn't stand on ceremony with her. "I'm making soup for Third Master right now. Why don't you help me pick the vegetables?"
"OK."
He is gentle and unpretentious.
She did whatever Uncle Tang told her to do, unlike those pampered young ladies from wealthy families who always looked down on others.
"Uncle Tang, does Third Master have any dietary restrictions? I'd like to buy some vegetables to cook tomorrow, so you can have an easier time."
"Is there anything else you need regarding daily necessities? Third Master, your legs aren't good, and you're getting on in years, so I can help you run errands."
Wen Shu asked very sincerely.
"No need to trouble Miss Wen. Although I am getting on in years, my legs are still strong enough to take care of Third Master's life." Uncle Tang glanced at the things Xu Chuyin had brought from the kitchen. "Miss Xu brought a lot with her, so there's no need to buy anything for now."
"oh."
Wen Shuyi forgot that his girlfriend would prepare it.
She almost overstepped her bounds.
"Okay, I'll do more work then."
Uncle Tang glanced at her.
Previously, because Sheng Ting had been punished according to family rules, he also had some opinions about Wen Shu.
However, her unpretentious nature actually made him like her even more.
Unlike Xu Chuyin.
They just tell him what to do.
"Miss Wen, put less salt in that soup," Uncle Tang said to the girl who was carrying the casserole.
Wen Shuyi nodded hurriedly, "Okay, Uncle Tang, you can just call me Shuyi from now on."
"it is good."
Wen Shuyi also helped Uncle Tang bring the soup and a few side dishes to the table.
Just then, Xu Chuyin and Sheng Tingwang came out of the bedroom one after the other.
Uncle Tang just told her that there's nothing else going on today.
She thought about taking her leave, not wanting to be in the way, and said, "Third Master, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I'll come back to help tomorrow."
"Don't rush off, I have something to tell you later."
Wen Shuyi, who had just picked up her bag, had no choice but to put it down and obediently sit to the side, saying, "Okay."
Xu Chuyin served soup to Sheng Tingwang.
With every gesture, she exuded thoughtfulness and gentleness, and she chatted naturally with Sheng Tingwang about things she couldn't understand.
Wen Shuyi was also distracted.
She drifted off to sleep as she walked.
Not long after, she fell asleep leaning against the sofa.
"Tingwang, you asked her to come and take care of you, but what about me? Don't you consider my feelings at all? I came all the way back from abroad, do you really think I came back just for work?"
"You know perfectly well that I'm worried about you... I can forgive you for what you did to Wen Shuyi; I can understand that it was an impulsive act, or that you missed me too much and couldn't control your emotions. You know I don't want any other woman in your life, so why did you have to do it?"
"After all these years of relationship, are you really going to give up? No, I can't let go, Tingwang. We can't be separated. Your feelings for her are just temporary. You'll get tired of her. How could someone of her status be worthy of you?"
"Tingwang, I'm giving you time. I hope you'll think carefully about our future instead of filling your emptiness with a stranger. I'm back now. What she can give you, I can give you too. What she can't give you, I can give you as well. Don't act impulsively."
Wen Shuyi woke up.
I was woken up by the noise.
The room wasn't very big, and it wasn't soundproof.
Xu Chuyin's voice was exceptionally clear.
"I'll head back now. I hope she won't be here when we meet again."
These were the words Wen Shuyi heard, and also the last sentence.
Then Xu Chuyin stormed out of the bedroom.
He glared at her angrily and with disgust. "Wen Shuyi, you'd better recognize your place. Don't covet what isn't yours, understand?"
Wen Shu also didn't quite understand the meaning behind Xu Chuyin's words.
Are you referring to Sheng Tingwang?
Is she reminding herself not to have unrealistic fantasies?
"Miss Xu, you may have misunderstood. I have no improper thoughts about Third Master. I..." Wen Shuyi wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Xu Chuyin's cold voice, "...You'd better not."
Xu Chuyin is gone.
The door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Tang Bo sighed.
Wen Shuyi felt quite uncomfortable.
The mistake she made before was due to her being drunk and not intentional.
She needs to talk to Sheng Tingwang about this.
"Third Master." She stood outside his bedroom and knocked on the door. "Didn't you just say you had something to tell me? Perfect timing, I also have something to tell you."
"Come in."
The man sat on a wicker chair on the balcony.
The fingertip is a slender cigarette.
The swirling smoke accentuated his handsome features, making them appear even more refined and elegant, to the point that she could barely make out his face.
Wen Shuyi went inside.
"Close the door," he said.
"oh."
Wen Shuyi turned around and closed the door before walking up to him. "Third Master, your girlfriend has misunderstood us. I was thinking about it, and we're considering taking care of you in a different way. For example, compensation. I can give you money, okay?"
His piercing gaze swept lightly over her face.
He brought the cigarette to his lips, took a drag, and said, "You seem to have a lot of money. What, after two years with Sheng Li, did he give you a lot of money?"
"He never gave me any money." The compensation she mentioned was nothing more than wanting to pay Sheng Tingwang a monthly salary. "I'm going to start working soon, and I'll have a salary from now on. I can give you a fixed amount every month. After all, you were punished because of me, and I have to repay this favor."
"Should I say you have a conscience, or not?" He scoffed, flicking the cigarette between his fingers into the ashtray beside him. "Trying to get rid of me with money? What, have you used this method to get rid of other men before?"
"I……"
That was her first time with Sheng Tingwang.
If we're talking about who suffered a loss, it was she who suffered the more.
I don't know what he's upset about.
"...You have a girlfriend. If I come over often, Miss Xu might misunderstand. I don't want to cause any trouble. If you agree..."
Sheng Tingwang stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers.
Without turning around, she lightly hooked her fingertip.
Wen Shuyi walked over as if possessed, "...Third Master."
He looked up and met her panicked eyes.
That night, she was very bold and unrestrained. She hooked her arms around his neck and said many things, forbidding this and that.
Now look what's happened.
I want to keep my distance from her.
"I don't have a girlfriend. My relationship with Xu Chuyin isn't what you think."
Sheng Tingwang's explanation did not change Wen Shuyi's mind.
What their relationship was like was none of her business.
She left the Sheng family because she couldn't stand the relationship between the three of them. Having just escaped the wolf's den, she couldn't let herself get involved in these pointless emotional disputes again.
"It has nothing to do with me, Third Master, you don't need to explain to me." Her voice was somewhat cold.
Sheng Tingwang felt a chill run down his spine as his fingertips touched the ring on his ring finger. "You've already put the engagement ring on my finger. If I don't explain to you, who else can I explain to?"
