Chapter 1166: I’m Naturally Wealthy and Successful
by xennovel“What are you standing there for? Sit next to Mr. Xu. You’re both young people with common interests so get to know each other.”
Chen Runzhong looked at Chen Dongyu with a smile, clearly playing matchmaker and hoping to spark some interest between the two.
“Second Uncle, I won’t be eating. I need to attend a poetry society internal exchange event at Yunzhou University.”
Chen Dongyu glanced at Xu Shaochen, speaking to Chen Runzhong with some helplessness.
She knew why Chen Runzhong invited her for dinner, simply to introduce her to a potential partner.
If she guessed right, Mr. Xu was likely another wealthy young master.
He was quite handsome, but she had someone she already liked.
However, she didn’t dare tell her family due to their different social standings.
“Perfect! Let Mr. Xu accompany you and take you home tonight. It’s not safe for a girl alone at night.”
Chen Runzhong smiled, then turned to Xu Shaochen: “Mr. Xu, why not keep Xiaoyu company? As her uncle, I worry for her.”
Look, this is the art of language.
Clearly creating an opportunity for Xu Shaochen, but it sounded like asking for his help.
This way, Xu Shaochen would feel awkward refusing.
Xu Shaochen glanced at Chen Dongyu: “Director Chen, my agreement doesn’t matter. It’s up to Miss Chen.”
Hearing this, Chen Runzhong assumed Xu Shaochen agreed, then looked at Chen Dongyu: “Xiaoyu, Mr. Xu agreed. Do you have any objections?”
“Second Uncle, I…” Chen Dongyu began to refuse but saw Chen Runzhong’s face darken and quickly changed her words: “I… I have no objections.”
“Good, no objections then.” Chen Runzhong beamed with delight, nearly unable to contain his smile.
He believed if given the chance to be alone, they would surely connect.
Chen Dongyu looked down, practically wearing her unhappiness on her face.
“Alright, sit down and eat. After dinner, Mr. Xu will take you to the event.”
Chen Runzhong urged Chen Dongyu to sit and eat.
Xu Shaochen showed no reaction, simply ignoring Chen Dongyu while enjoying his meal.
To Chen Dongyu, the delicious food felt tasteless, taking ten minutes to finish a bowl.
After the meal.
Xu Shaochen and Chen Dongyu left together, personally seen off by Chen Runzhong.
Chen Dongyu’s car was a white BMW, and Xu Shaochen entered the front passenger seat.
Seeing Xu Shaochen so familiar in the passenger seat, Chen Dongyu’s face darkened like a pot bottom.
“No need to show me a sour face. Just drop me off at Yunzhou Grand Hotel.”
Xu Shaochen closed his eyes pretending to nap, speaking calmly.
Chen Dongyu was startled, turning to look at Xu Shaochen: “You’re not coming with me?”
“Not interested in your sour face.” Xu Shaochen said nonchalantly.
If not for Chen Runzhong’s insistence, Xu Shaochen would have ignored Chen Dongyu altogether.
“You…”
Chen Dongyu was furious, but on second thought, wasn’t it better if he didn’t go?
With that thought, she swallowed her words, started the car, and smoothly drove off.
“Ding~”
Suddenly, her phone chimed.
Chen Dongyu steered with one hand, swiping her phone with the other.
It was a WeChat from her second uncle, Chen Runzhong: Xiaoyu, if I find out you didn’t take Mr. Xu to the event, it’s on you. You know I’m not too patient.
Chen Dongyu was at a loss. Impatient? You seemed very patient before Mr. Xu.
She originally planned to follow Xu Shaochen’s suggestion and drop him at the hotel.
But her uncle’s message made her reconsider. She had feared him since childhood.
In the Yunzhou Chen family’s branch, Chen Runzhong made all decisions, and the younger generation knew not to cross him.
Chen Dongyu had to take a turn towards Yunzhou University.
The poetry society’s exchange event was held in a small auditorium there.
“This isn’t the way to the hotel.”
Xu Shaochen opened his eyes, noticing the change.
“This is the way to Yunzhou University.”
Chen Dongyu replied expressionlessly.
“I said I wouldn’t go, right?” Xu Shaochen frowned.
Seeing Xu Shaochen’s disdain, Chen Dongyu lashed out: “Go tell my uncle yourself. As if I wanted you to come.”
From those words, Xu Shaochen knew her uncle had pressured her again.
“Fine, I’ll go. I’m free tonight. I won’t pursue you.”
Xu Shaochen’s tone was calm; he felt nothing for Chen Dongyu.
“Haha, like I care. I like talented people, not rich kids.”
Chen Dongyu rolled her eyes, dismissing Xu Shaochen.
“Like talented people? I’m naturally wealthy and successful.” Xu Shaochen said seriously.
Isn’t his wealth abundant? Aren’t his fortunes vast?
Chen Dongyu said nothing, simply sped up.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Yunzhou University.
“Don’t speak rashly. We have no relation. I have a boyfriend.”
Before getting out, Chen Dongyu warned Xu Shaochen.
“Is your boyfriend talented but lacking money and status?”
Xu Shaochen didn’t care, asking with a smile.
“Humph!” Chen Dongyu snorted, proudly saying: “He’s famous at Yunzhou University. Everyone knows him.”
“You have no chance.”
Xu Shaochen stated the truth, marriage is no joke.
Hearing this, Chen Dongyu’s face darkened; she understood.
“None of your business.”
Chen Dongyu retorted, glaring at Xu Shaochen.
“I don’t plan to interfere.”
Xu Shaochen shrugged and got out.
Another clichéd story of a rich girl loving a poor boy. Reality isn’t a drama; most don’t succeed.
Xu Shaochen was curious about Chen Dongyu’s prince charming.
With that curiosity, Xu Shaochen followed her to the auditorium.
