Chapter 134: Can Rich People Play Like This?
"Younger Sister Xuan, come over and hug this cardboard box."
The in-laws prepared two entire boxes of vegetables and fruits. Although Shen Yuan could lift them by himself, he couldn't see clearly while walking after lifting them.
"Brother, I'll hug it..."
Shen Xuan, still caught up in the inconsistencies of life, spoke with some discontent.
"Otherwise, why did you come down? Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and Xinyu has a suitcase too. If not you, then who?"
"Oh..."
With heavy steps, Shen Xuan moved reluctantly towards the boxes.
Chen Na prepared a full table of dishes to welcome her sister at noon today, and Shen Xuan was busy helping Chen Na in the kitchen.
Shen Xuan's personality was quick to come and go; she became lively again during the meal, creating a lively atmosphere, so Shen Yuan didn't need to warm up the crowd.
Moreover, Shen Xuan and Chen Xinyu were both candidates of the same batch and had a lot in common to talk about.
After finishing the meal, Shen Yuan left in a hurry to meet Teacher Lih as he had arranged to meet her at the Dongsheng Neighborhood.
He had agreed to meet Lih Xiao at 2:30, and he arrived at 2:20.
There were two parking spots downstairs. Shen Yuan was about to reverse into one when he noticed a Volkswagen Passat parked diagonally, occupying both spaces.
Faced with such foolishness, Shen Yuan simply parked his car in front of it since he was going to leave directly after picking up Teacher Lih.
Shen Yuan rolled down the window and saw the owner of the Passat, a propere looking man in glasses, leaning against the hood and making a phone call.
"Mengmeng, give me another chance."
...
"I just made a mistake that any man could make."
...
"Don't be like this; I actually didn't want to do it that time."
...
"How about this, Mengmeng, come down first and give me a chance to explain in person."
...
After hearing this, Shen Yuan realized that this man was Lih Meng's ex-boyfriend; Teacher Lih had even told him about her sister's cheating partner.
No wonder Lih Meng was so resentful towards cheating men. Last time at the entrance of Shuiyunjian, Shen Yuan had received quite a scolding from her.
But as despicable as this man was, it was over the top for him to cling and pester her downstairs after they had broken up.
"Beep beep!"
After the glasses-wearing man was hung up on, probably in a bad mood, he stretched his hand inside the car and honked the horn hard twice.
"How did you park your car?"
"You're blocking my car!"
The man in glasses asked rudely.
Shen Yuan's eyelid twitched, wondering about the man's temper.
If this man had spoken nicely, Shen Yuan would have moved the car, but the man occupied two spaces and was also impolite, so Shen Yuan didn't feel like being polite either.
"What's wrong with me parking here?"
"Block? So be it, it's not my car inside anyway."
Shen Yuan wasn't going to pamper him; if the man dared, he would just hit the gas and crash into him.
The glasses man didn't expect to meet someone so resolute, and his face turned red with frustration: "You block my car and still act so arrogant, think you're great just because you have money?"
Shen Yuan just smiled; of course, having money was great.
Take this situation, even if this man dared to crash into his car, he could have his personal team's driver bring the Defender over.
He himself would drive away in the Defender, letting the driver take the Benz G-Class to the repair shop, while this guy had to miserably drive himself to the repair shop.
Not only would he be fully to blame, but his insurance premiums would also rise next year, and he'd have to use ride-sharing services to commute while the car was being fixed.
However, Shen Yuan didn't want to answer that question and dismissively looked at him: "So you're Lih Meng's ex-boyfriend?"
The man's eyebrows furrowed, surprised that Shen Yuan knew his identity, and suspiciously asked, "Who are you?"
Shen Yuan chuckled, "Who do you think I am?"
It clicked for the glasses man: "Lih Meng's current boyfriend?"
Shen Yuan didn't speak, and the man believed it even more.
Alright, no wonder she refuses to see me, is it because she's found a rich guy with a Benz G-Class!
"Lih Meng has such a bad temperament, you two won't end well!"
The glasses man said resentfully.
Shen Yuan continued to smile silently; to him, it was an ineffective attack.
Realizing that Shen Yuan was unaffected, the glasses man suddenly decided to mess with Shen Yuan's mind.
Since he had no chance, he might as well disgust them both.
"You wouldn't know this, but Lih Meng and I were together for two years, and she hasn't dated anyone yet because she can't forget me, so even if you're with her, you won't have all of her."
Shen Yuan smirked, thinking how amusing this man was; this reminded him of how he used to mess with Hou Jun's mind outside the school.
Comparatively, this man's attack was truly inferior, so Shen Yuan lightly replied:
"No worries, I never expected to have all of her; having her body is enough."
The glasses man was stunned, looking at Shen Yuan: "You two have already..."
Shen Yuan countered: "Need to say more?"
The glasses man's pupils shrank, his face full of disbelief. Lih Meng had been with him for two years in college without getting physically involved, and this bastard managed it?
He had thought that Lih Meng hadn't found a boyfriend yet because she still pined for him.
But how did it turn out?
Damn it all!
Seeing the glasses man's utterly dumbfounded expression, Shen Yuan knew he hadn't succeeded.
But he couldn't blame anyone but himself; after all, who made him attempt to mess with Shen Yuan's mind?
Just then, Teacher Lih Xiao came out from the elevator area.
Today, Teacher Lih Xiao wore silver-framed glasses and had a light makeup look, appearing very intellectual.
Her outfit today was somewhat audacious, Shen Yuan was seeing her dressed so attractively for the first time.
She wore a V-neck cardigan that cinched at the waist. The cardigan, whether too small in size or whatever the reason, was snugly filled by her pale cleavage.
Moreover, due to the fullness, the cardigan couldn't cover her slim waist, revealing bits of tender flesh, adding an extra hint of sexiness.
Below, she wore a white hip-hugging skirt, exposing half of her fair lower legs.
Isn't this the ideal type of teacher?
Lih Xiao, with her personality, appearance, and figure, could absolutely satisfy every man's fantasy of a girlfriend, not to mention she also had the teacher BUFF.
Today, she had an LV bag from Shen Yuan on her right shoulder and she was holding a small shopping bag in her left hand.
Shen Yuan reached out to open the passenger door for Lih Xiao, but she walked over to the bespectacled man first and switched to a serious expression a teacher should have:
"Lou Bin, don't come here again, my sister will not meet with you."
The man known as "Lou Bin" opened his mouth to say something, but Lih Xiao didn't wait for him to speak and entered the passenger seat of Shen Yuan's car.
Lou Bin clearly hadn't recovered from the shock and stared blankly at the two in the front seat: "Isn't he Lih Meng's boyfriend?"
Shen Yuan turned his head and gave him a glance, "Don't meddle in the affairs of the rich. Haven't you heard of 'hitting two birds with one stone'?"
After saying that, he floored the accelerator and drove off, while Lou Bin stood frozen in place, staring foolishly as the Benz G-Class gradually disappeared from sight.
?
Hitting two birds with one stone?
Is this rumor reliable?
Can the rich really play it this way?
....
After the Benz G-Class left the neighborhood, Lih Xiao expressed her displeasure, "Shen Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? What does 'hitting two birds with one stone' mean?"
Shen Yuan earnestly replied, "It's mainly because I didn't want that Lou Bin to keep bothering your sister, as it would affect my sister-in-law's mood, and that would affect your mood, wouldn't it?"
"Stop talking nonsense, who is your sister-in-law."
"I haven't even agreed to anything yet."
Lih Xiao's face turned pink with embarrassment, and she shyly brushed her forehead hair aside.
"Just kidding."
Shen Yuan smiled knowingly, then added, "Teacher Lih, let's go to IFC Mall first today, then have dinner, and finally go see a movie."
Lih Xiao shook her head, "Let's not go to IFC Mall, it's too expensive there, I can't afford it. Taskin City Plaza is fine."
"I'll buy for you."
"No, I don't want to spend your money."
Lih Xiao said, picking up the shopping bag in her hand, "This is a GUCCI wallet I bought for you, to return the favor for the LV wallet you gave me last time."
"I wanted to give it to you last time, but you were waiting for your friend at the foot spa city."
Shen Yuan frowned, "Teacher Lih, there's no need for this, this wallet must have cost a lot."
A wallet worth tens of thousands is nothing for Shen Yuan, but for Lih Xiao, it meant half a month's or even a full month's salary.
Lih Xiao paused then said, "Over three thousand, definitely not as expensive as the bag you gave me, but that's within my capability."
Shen Yuan thought for a moment then said, "Alright then, to thank you for the wallet, I must reciprocate."
"Don't start, I really don't want to spend your money."
Teacher Lih ultimately wasn't a gold-digging girl; otherwise, with her figure, looks, and conditions, she would have found a partner long ago.
It seemed he could only resort to the sister tactic. So, Shen Yuan said seriously, "Actually, it's my sister's birthday soon, and I want to give her a surprise, which is why I wanted to go to IFC Mall this time and have you help me pick a gift."
"Really?"
Now, Lih Xiao had to question everything Shen Yuan said.
"Of course."
Shen Yuan affirmed.
"But let's make it clear, if you buy something for me, I won't accept it."
Teacher Lih said seriously.
"Agreed."
Shen Yuan accepted, thinking to himself that once they got there, he naturally had ways to make her accept the gift.
No woman could resist the allure of luxury bags or exquisite accessories; it was just that Teacher Lih hadn't seen them yet.
After parking the car in the underground garage of IFC Mall, the two first went to the first floor.
The two walked side by side, their swinging arms occasionally touching. Shen Yuan boldly took her fair hand.
Before Shen Yuan could further enjoy the soft touch, Lih Xiao abruptly pulled away, glaring at him, "Don't mess around."
Shen Yuan smiled, thinking that besides the final step, they had already done everything a teacher and student could do, so what was wrong with holding hands.
Shen Yuan didn't mind and thought about which shop to visit first. Accidentally, he noticed Lih Xiao's gaze lingering on a SANDRO clothing store for a bit longer.
Thus, Shen Yuan suggested, "Let's visit that store and look at some clothes first."
Lih Xiao shook her head, "I guess the clothes there aren't cheap."
"Let's just take a look; we don't necessarily have to buy anything."
Lih Xiao also wanted to browse, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay then."
Experience new stories on empire
Upon entering SANDRO, the sales assistant warmly welcomed them and Lih Xiao headed directly to the dress section and held a sleeveless knitted dress, looking at it several times longer.
The saleswoman said enthusiastically, "Hi, if you like it, you can try it on."
"Yes, go ahead and try if you like it."
Shen Yuan also encouraged her.
Lih Xiao turned to the saleswoman, "Then could you please fetch a size that fits me?"
The saleswoman glanced unconsciously at the impeccably-figured woman in front of her. Such a full bust wouldn't fit into a small size, nor was it clear whether a medium would fit...
"Please wait, I'll go fetch it for you."
Sometime later, the saleswoman returned with a medium-sized dress, handing it to Lih Xiao, "Please try this size."
"Okay."
"The fitting area is over here."
The saleswoman led Lih Xiao to the fitting area, which was curtained off without doors, all U-shaped curtains.
Just then a group of customers came in unattended, so after excusing herself to Lih Xiao, she went to assist the other customers.
Shen Yuan sat on the couch, quietly waiting. Before getting comfortable, he suddenly received a call from Lih Xiao.
Shen Yuan was a bit perplexed and asked after answering, "What's wrong?"
"Shen Yuan... the zipper on my back is stuck, and the saleswoman isn't around. Could you ask her to come help me?"
Shen Yuan looked up and saw the saleswoman assisting another group of customers, so he stood up and said, "There's no need to bother the saleswoman with this, I can handle it."
"...."
