Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo and pretended to be calm. However, he felt that his heart trembled suddenly as if the mountains and the seas were turned upside down in an instant. The world was turning upside down, vibrating with turbulence.
He stared blankly at Xu Xinduo as he was trying to soothe his battered heart.
Xu Xinduo said again, “I want to be with you in an upright manner in the future— not depending on you nor coveting you. I want to be just like you and I want to be with you. No matter what you become, whether you are poor or rich, I will only like you, okay? But if you do that, I feel like the relationship between us has changed.”
“I’m sorry…I didn’t think about this thoroughly…” Tong Yan quickly got up and apologised.
“Actually, I have always thought of myself as lacking— my family is problematic and my body is not that great either. The reason why I never dared to confess to you in the beginning was because I felt like I was totally unworthy of being with you…”
“You are worthy! Only you are worthy!”
“I feel like I am very inferior to you. The more you act like this, the more inferior I feel. When I am with you, I actually feel so useless…”
Tong Yan was extremely uncomfortable at this time. He felt as if his heart was being squeezed violently, making him feel extremely distressed.
Holding Xu Xinduo tightly, he lowered his head and whispered, “Our Duoduo is so amazing. Instead, I am just a fool who can only rely on my family name; don’t you think so? I won’t help you in vain, which is why the company will also have to be redeemed by Mu Qingyi with his efforts. As for you… you can pay me the endorsement fee.”
This would make Xu Xinduo feel more comfortable with the plan, but Tong Yan didn’t plan to touch Xu Xinduo’s hard-earned money at all.
Instead, he would save it for her.
Xu Xinduo agreed immediately, “Mm, that’s good.”
“In the future, you will have to hand a portion of your monthly salary to me. Give me 30% of your salary and that would be considered compensation.”
“Mm.”
“Also, you have to stay with me for a few days every month, okay?”
“Okay.”
Father Mu sold the old mansion of the Mu family.
Nowadays,creating land to build new mansions or villas was no longer approved, so with every purchase, the ultra-rich lost a potential property to stay or invest in. Moreover, the new villas in recent years were relatively close to the suburbs, making its location not exactly considered ideal.
The Mu family’s mansion was in a good location and it was still a fair-sized villa with an independent yard. The distance between the neighbouring mansions was sufficient as well. The properties and gardens were also first-class rates whereas the supporting facilities and school districts were excellent as well.
This kind of house would also be considered a luxury mansion. If someone were to sell a place like this, there were bound to be people who were going to buy it. Although, some knew that Father Mu was desperately in need of money, so they dared to haggle and lower the price as he felt his heart clench everytime the numbers went down.
Recently, all the domestic servants that once worked in the mansion have been dismissed.
Mu Qingyao was alone at home these days. She didn’t know how to cook, so she could only use her mobile phone to look up some instructions on how to make food. In the end, she made her meals by herself as a daily routine.
Her personal driver was no longer working, so she couldn’t ask the driver to help her buy anything. Hence, she used her pocket money to buy items online or order takeout.
