Chapter 103 I just need more blankets
Liu Yunxiang looked at the painting on the coffee table, and then looked at Xiao Shun. She said with mild annoyance, “Since that painting is so expensive, why didn’t you tell me? What if anything happened to that painting, or I just lost it?”
Xiao Shun smiled and said, “Mom, didn’t you say that the painting looks good in the living room? As long as you’re happy with it, it’s not a big deal.”
Yao Cen looked at him in amazement. Why was this guy suddenly so sweet-mouthed? They were almost touched by what he said. He was never like this before.
In fact, Xiao Shun just thought, what happened has happened, it would be worth it if Liu Yunxiang could have a better impression of him.
Moreover, he was just saying it, and it did not cost him a penny. If his words could make the mother and daughter happy, why wouldn’t he?
Women love these heartwarming words.
Liu Yunxiang instantly felt a wave of mixed emotions. She felt moved, felt guilty and felt annoyed. If she really ruined something so valuable, she really didn’t know what she would do.
However, when she saw how little Xiao Shun cared about it, she really didn’t know what to say for a moment and she could only sigh heavily.
Yao Cen had already started cleaning up the dishes.
Xiao Shun rolled up the painting and laughed lightly, “Mom, put it away. If you still want to hang it up just get someone to frame it again.”
“Maybe you and Yao Cen can find a place to keep it… What if I break anything…” Liu Yunxiang hesitated.
Although she said so, Xiao Shun of course knew that she actually still wanted to keep it herself.
“It is just a painting. It doesn’t matter.”
“Okay then, then I’ll keep it for you guys. Nobody can know what can happen to that company of yours. If you fail, this thing can give you a way out.” Liu Yunxiang said after a moment of hesitation.
Xiao Shun nodded and didn’t say anything. Then he also got up to help Yao Cen clean up.
Liu Yunxiang then took the Cottage In The Sunny Mist into the room and came out.
“Just leave it to me. You guys have been busy all day. Just wash up and go to bed.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They did not insist and both came back to their room after washing up.
“Can you give me a massage on my shoulders? My shoulders feel a little sore again these days.” Yao Cen was no longer as shy as before, and it seemed that she had gotten used to the whole thing.
“Okay.”
Xiao Shun also skillfully jumped on the bed to massage her shoulders.
“Who gave you that painting?” Yao Cen asked curiously with her eyes slightly closed.
Xiao Shun then had to tell her what happened after Liu Manqing’s engagement party that day.
“Can you talk to me if such things happen again in the future? I don’t want so many surprises and scares.” Yao Cen beamed.
“Understood, ma’am.”
Xiao Shun laughed, but muttered in his heart, ‘You won’t believe me anyway. You almost threw away my billion-dollar check.
“It’s getting cold. If you feel uncomfortable on the floor, you can sleep in the bed.” Yao Cen hesitated for a moment and said.
Although they had moved to the villa with so many rooms, they still slept in the same room as usual. Still, Yao Cen was sleeping on the bed and he slept on the floor.
At that, her face flushed all the way to the root of her neck, and her heart was beating like crazy.
“No need. I can just use more blankets.” Xiao Shun said without hesitation.
Yao Cen, “…”
“Get off!”
Xiao Shun froze. ‘Did I say something wrong?’
‘Or did I press the wrong acupuncture point? Impossible.’
The next morning, Xiao Shun just got up and received a call from Hou Chenghe.
“Mr. Xiao, I made a lot of money this time because of you, so I transferred three hundred million to you, as a token of my gratitude.” Hou Chenghe’s tone had obviously become more respectful.
Xiao Shun defeated a Tier Eight fighter of Old School Society with such ease, and had made a fame of himself overnight.
There were so many big shots who wanted to get to know Xiao Shun, yet he had known him long before everyone else. This had been such a great bargain. Spending a few hundred million to maintain their relationship was nothing to him.
Besides, he earned this money entirely because of Xiao Shun. It was completely unexpected, and it didn’t hurt him to spend it out.
“But I saw it was five hundred million.”
The text message Xiao Shun received yesterday clearly said it was five hundred million, but Hou Chenghe said it was three hundred million. He felt puzzled. Did he make a mistake?
“Oh, those two hundred million are from my two friends, Wen Guangliang and Cai Junmin. They were so disrespectful to you at that time, and they felt regretful. Please just take them as their apologies. They hope you can forget about it.” Hou Chenghe laughed awkwardly and said.
“I’ve almost forgotten all about it.” Xiao Shun laughed and said.
He meant it. He had heard more mockery and ridicule in the past few years than he could remember. He certainly didn’t feel bad every time. If he was going to do anything, he’d do it right then and there.
“And they want to visit you in person to apologize, and they wonder if you have the time?”
Hou Chenghe asked cautiously.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Let’s talk about it later when we have the chance.”
Xiao Shun did not refuse nor did he agree. He didn’t really want to meet so many people though still, he might use their help in the future.
As he had just hung up the call, he soon received another text message telling him that another five hundred million was deposited into his account. This time it was from Song Linger.
But instead of calling him, Song Linger sent a text message. The message was short: Your share.
Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly. He had clearly told her she didn’t have to do it.
This girl would never let him go if he did not accept the money. After all, she was a hero girl, and she couldn’t go back on her word.
After he finally finished the call and replied to the text message, Yao Cen teased, “Mr. Xiao is quite busy?”
“No really, Mr. Yao. Just some boring things.” Xiao Shun casually replied.
Yao Cen rolled her eyes at him and went downstairs.
After they had breakfast, Yao Cen drove him to the company together.
However, the car broke down just as they reached the east entrance, making Yao Cen frantic. When she was calling the 4S store, a red Ferrari drove up behind them. From the window of the car a young woman with a rather excessive makeup reached out. She was wearing large sunglasses that covered half of her face, but they could still see her frowning.
“Why is such a lousy piece of crap here? What a shame! Hurry up and drag it off the road!”
Yao Cen’s fair face immediately flushed. She was so anxious and didn’t know what to do.
“Miss Mo, sorry for the inconvenience.”
A young security guard apologized with a wry smile.
She was Mo Yibai, a pretty famous model at Stillwater.
Behind her were many politicians and business tycoons, so of course he could not afford to offend her.
And the owner of the Audi in front seemed to have just moved here. They didn’t look like any big shots. Maybe they just rented a house in order to get to know the powerful people living around here.
Immediately, the security guard put on a smiling face when he kept complimenting that Mo Yibai.
