Chapter 552: Chapter 360 Yoga Guidance
In the living room, Shen Xuan watched Lih Xiao cooking in the kitchen, a faint smile playing on the corners of her lips as she took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Yuan.
“Bro, the situation is much trickier than imagined. If it wasn’t for your sister being quite capable, she would have been kicked out already!”
Shen Yuan: “Oh, really?”
Shen Xuan: “Yes! Teacher Lih is determined to break up with you. I bought her 5 gifts today, but she refused all of them. She’s even looking for a new place to move out as soon as she finds one.”
Shen Xuan: “This headwind game is too hard to play!”
Shen Yuan: “Just spill it.”
Shen Xuan: “Bro, no offense, but the shower head in the dorm is broken. I had an uncomfortable shower last night, and the girl in the bed next to mine was on the phone with her boyfriend until late. I didn’t rest well, so I’m feeling very sluggish today.”
Shen Yuan: “Why don’t you commute like Xinyu?”
Shen Xuan: “I’ve been commuting for years, just wanted to experience dorm life. Who knew it’d be this bad.”
Shen Yuan: “Oh, stop beating around the bush and just say it.”
Shen Xuan sighed internally, indeed he was her real brother, she couldn’t hide anything from him.
After setting it up well, Shen Xuan simply sent: “Bro, let’s not beat around the bush, I want a place of my own.”
Shen Yuan: “Alright, got it.”
Shen Xuan: “Got it, then what?”
Shen Yuan: “It’s too costly. I’ll find someone else to help me.”
Shen Xuan became anxious and quickly replied, “Don’t, bro. Changing generals at the last minute is a big taboo in the military!”
Shen Yuan: “Enough, I’m tired of this endless chatter. I already know about the little episode at Teacher Lih’s place. I’ll arrange for the housing later, just focus on your job for now.”
Shen Xuan was stunned. Where did the elder brother get his information from?
Oh right, Sister Lih Meng… Just as she figured it out, Shen Xuan suddenly felt a chill on her back and quickly turned around to see Lih Meng standing behind her with a barely discernible smile.
Shen Xuan put away her phone and forced a sheepish smile, “Sister Lih Meng.”
Lih Meng smiled and then patted Shen Xuan on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I’m not siding with your brother.”
Shen Xuan laughed awkwardly.
Lih Meng then entered the kitchen to help. She had inadvertently leaked information, but it wasn’t out of intent to report on the situation, rather it was just to have a chat with Shen Yuan.
When it was time to eat, Shen Xuan returned to her usual self, calling Sister-in-law Li very affectionately.
“Sister-in-law, these braised chicken wings are so delicious, teach me next time!”
“Sister-in-law, this hand-shredded cabbage has the perfect texture, crunchy and not at all tough!”
“Oh, sister-in-law, and these salt and pepper shrimps, they’re even better than what my mom makes!”
“Ah ah ah sister-in-law, I want another bowl of rice!”
Lih Meng found it a bit funny, she covertly observed her sister’s expression and noticed she seemed much better than the last few days, even looking a bit embarrassed.
Who doesn’t enjoy being praised? These praises slightly soothed Lih Xiao’s depression from the past couple of days, she somewhat embarrassedly said, “Shen Xuan, you should just call me by my name, I’m Lih Xiao.”
“No way, sister-in-law, I’m already used to it, plus you’re technically my sister-in-law!”
Shen Xuan knew what Lih Xiao meant and said coyly, “Sister-in-law, your cooking is too delicious, can I eat here tonight too?”
Lih Xiao probably saw through Shen Xuan’s tactic, but facing such a lively and adorable Shen Xuan, it was hard for her to refuse.
“Thanks, Sister-in-law. Let’s go shopping together this afternoon! Sister Lih Meng, the three of us should go together!”
Lih Meng was inwardly eager for an opportunity to make Shen Yuan pay dearly, using this as a chance to shop extravagantly.
Little did she know, Shen Xuan was using Chen Na’s card, thinking to herself, “Mrs. Nana, while this may be unethical, cheering up sister-in-law Li is to make my brother happy, and when he’s happy, you’ll be happy too, so swiping your card this way is fine!”
Thinking that, Shen Xuan sent this morning’s receipts to Shen Yuan, leaving a message below, “Bro, I bought a lot of gifts for sister-in-law Li this morning. You have to reimburse me for all of these. Also, I’m taking sister-in-law and Sister Lih Meng out shopping this afternoon, prepare to be fleeced.”
Shen Yuan: “Trying to have the best of both worlds, you think I don’t know you’re using Nana’s card.”
Shen Xuan pouted, thinking how can her elder brother always see through everything? Is earning a little pocket money so difficult?
Then, Shen Yuan sent another message, “This afternoon, Teacher Lih won’t let you pay.
If there are any shopping receipts, send them to Ji Ya, she will arrange the payments.”
Shen Xuan: “Oh, okay.”
It seemed earning some pocket money was out of the question this time… Shen Xuan sighed internally.
However, thinking about the house, Shen Xuan consoled herself, it didn’t matter anymore, her brother was getting her a house, a little pocket money was no big deal.
Meanwhile, in Shanghai, inside a private dining room at Pu Zhizhou Restaurant, Shen Yuan had just sat down, mingling with the management from both the Shanghai and He Mu branches.
This restaurant, located beside Huangbu River, resembled a white boat-shaped structure. Sitting in the private dining room on the second floor felt like being on a boat overlooking Huangbu River.
Since Shen Yuan was the main character today, everyone was seeking him out for toasts and flattery.
“Chairman Shen, I wonder what kind of partner you will find in the future. The woman who gets to marry you is really lucky.” The source of this content ɪs n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
The woman speaking was sitting to Shen Yuan’s right—the one from the administration department who had given him the most fervent looks earlier. He had learned before dinner that her name was Xiaoyi and she was the receptionist at the company.
“Xiaoyi, you might not know, but Chairman Shen is still single. If you have any thoughts, you should seize the opportunity.”
