Chapter 1778 - 1864: Little Cousin
Back then, Xie Wanrong was just blossoming into a young girl, only sixteen, the kind of pure-looking schoolgirl.That year, Su Xuan and Monkey went to his hometown for a visit, and coincidentally met Xie Wanrong who had come to Monkey’s house on some errand.
However, in Su Xuan’s memory, it seemed the Xie family was relatively well-off during that period. Although they were Monkey’s mother’s relatives, they looked down on Monkey’s family, often ridiculing them. Xie Wanrong was no different; Su Xuan had mocked her back then, saying she was ugly.
Who would have thought, ten years later, Xie Wanrong would grow up to be like this; really unattractive, at least that’s what Su Xuan thought.
"Rong’er, who is this?"
The middle-aged man asked with disdain, his nose in the air.
"Oh, just that poor classmate of my poor aunt’s son, the one I often mentioned to you, someone I knew when I was a kid!"
Xie Wanrong said with some disdain.
"Oh right, hubby, my uncle asked me last time if your company is hiring. Although my cousin graduated from a prestigious university, he’s been struggling outside these years, not even making five thousand a month. Do you think you could arrange a position for him?"
Xie Wanrong said boastfully, making Su Xuan look down on her, thinking, damn, you think you can employ Monkey.
"No problem, your cousin is like my cousin. It just so happens that my company is short of a porter. I can offer him ten thousand a month, is that okay?"
The man thought to himself that there was nothing he loved more than doing such things.
"Why offer so much, six thousand would be enough!"
"Alright, alright, as you say!"
The man laughed heartily.
"Hey, little cousin, aren’t you being too stingy? Monkey is your cousin after all, and your man just offered ten thousand, but you offer six thousand!"
Su Xuan felt helpless, what kind of relatives are these!
"What do you know? Although my husband is the boss, if he acts unfairly, who will be convinced? This is called treating everyone equally, you know? Even though I explain it to you, country bumpkin, you wouldn’t understand. Besides, what does my cousin have apart from a degree? You self-proclaimed brilliant people, always aiming too high. By the way, what are you doing now, looking so shabby?"
Xie Wanrong bore grudges, as Su Xuan had mocked her ten years ago for being ugly, and she had always held it against him. Today, seeing Su Xuan, she couldn’t resist hitting back, even though he dressed quite decently. But Xie Wanrong, a snobbish woman, looked around and didn’t see any fancy cars, and noticed that Su Xuan wasn’t wearing a watch or a diamond ring. Most importantly, his cigarette looked like the seven-yuan kind, so he must be a pauper!
"Uh... just passing time! Little cousin, why don’t you have your wealthy husband introduce me to a job!"
Su Xuan said with a mischievous smile.
"Not just anyone can join my husband’s company, you seem idle and might set a bad example for others if you join!"
"Hey, Rong’er, don’t say it like that, he’s after all your cousin’s old classmate. Brother, my company is short of a security guard, if you’re interested, I can arrange it for you, with meals and accommodation, four thousand a month!"
"Uh..."
Su Xuan smacked his lips, just about to say something when Monkey appeared.
"What are you doing squatting here for? Not coming in after so long!"
Monkey hadn’t seen his little cousin yet and squatted next to Su Xuan, snatching his cigarette!
"Damn, seeing you smoke makes me want one too. You say, this cigarette is pretty strong, despite being cheap!"
He said as he took a contented puff.
Seeing her poor cousin, Xie Wanrong sneered.
"Cousin, Aunt always says you’re miserable, I didn’t believe it. Are you out begging?"
Monkey was startled when he saw a girl in heavy makeup in front of him.
"Hey, oh my, you’re Rong’er. How have you changed so much!"
"Haha, of course, haven’t I become more sophisticated? Hubby, this is my poor cousin I told you about, everyone calls him Monkey. Cousin, this is my husband, Gu Qingfeng, Chairman of Wansheng Group. Aunt recently asked me to find you a job, my husband agreed, six thousand a month, this way you can get a wife. Isn’t that dignified?"
"Cough, cough..."
Monkey almost choked, thinking, damn, is someone like your husband able to employ me.
What Xie Wanrong didn’t see was that Gu Qingfeng’s expression changed when he saw Monkey.
Monkey coughed for a while before recovering.
"Cousin, no need to be so emotional, we’re family after all, it’s only right to help each other."
Monkey was just about to say something when Hou Qingyi came out, saying.
"Monkey, how about this one?"
Hou Qingyi was wearing a short down jacket, with black leggings underneath, her long legs looking very straight. For a moment, as he looked at Hou Qingyi, Monkey felt his eyes dazzled, she was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
"Beautiful, Qingyi, you’re so stunning that even I’m a bit surprised!"
At that moment, Su Xuan spoke up directly, and Hou Qingyi blushed, she really liked this outfit. She couldn’t afford such clothes before, but Monkey had told her not to worry as he would buy it for her, reassuring her that when she earned money, she could buy it for herself.
"Su Xuan, does it look good?"
At this moment, Xue Mengxue also came out in a creamy white trench coat, looking so stunning that it seemed unreal.
In terms of looks, Xue Mengxue was definitely more beautiful than Hou Qingyi.
"Wife, you look good in anything!"
Su Xuan said with a smile.
Looking at the two beauties in front of her, for a moment, Xie Wanrong felt like she was outclassed, feeling like a speck of dust, really realizing the saying "comparison is the thief of joy."
"Wow, Monkey, did you bring your wife back? Didn’t you trick her from somewhere?"
"Hey, Xie Wanrong, watch your words!"
Monkey was speechless towards his cousin, can’t she bear to see others doing well? What’s the point of her remarks? Just seeing him bring a wife back and suggesting he kidnapped her.
"Wow, did I hit the nail on the head? Cousin, even if you didn’t make money, there’s no need to lie to Uncle. I’ve already told my husband to arrange a job for you! Also, I have a friend whose husband died in a car accident two years ago, I can introduce her to you!"
Xie Wanrong said arrogantly.
"Xie Wanrong, do you think your husband is someone special? Does he have the right to employ me? Gu Qingfeng, what do you say?"
Monkey looked at Gu Qingfeng, sneering as he spoke.
