Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 869: Chapter 879: A Favor of Introduction

Reluctantly withdrawing her hand, Sun Xuehui casually brushed her hair to cover her embarrassment and continued, ”Jiajia is your younger sister, she’s still young, how could she have the high standards and keen eye as you do as her older sister? Besides, what does she know about the Art College, where very few boys from such schools achieve big things? I think Young Master Lu is quite promising, he’s handsome and comes from a good family background. Once our family’s cooperation with Wenshan is achieved, we’ll move to Nan’an and we’ll be on equal footing with the Lu Family. Jiajia has good qualities, standing together with Young Master Lu, that would be a perfect match.”

Sun Xuehui grew more and more pleased with the idea, a satisfied smile emerging on her face.

An Ran watched her whimsical look and smirked, ”If that’s the case, why do I need to introduce them? Once the An Family joins Nan’an and stands equally with the Lu Family, it’ll naturally follow.”

”You child, what are you talking about?” Sun Xuehui scolded An Ran, ”A man like Lu Yi, of course, the sooner you act, the better. Now that you’re both in Nan’an, it’s a great opportunity. I’ll call Jiajia over in a while; you’re about the same age, you should have lots to talk about.”

”Sorry, I don’t have anything in common with her, and there’s nothing to talk about,” An Ran said as she was about to get up.

She had already exhausted her patience sitting here talking to Sun Xuehui, how could she possibly sit down and chat with An Sijia, especially with such an intention.

Not to mention that someone like Lu Yi couldn’t possibly strike up a conversation with An Sijia. Even if there were such a possibility, she wouldn’t let An Sijia get involved with Lu Yi; she found it filthy.

Seeing An Ran about to leave, Sun Xuehui quickly stopped her, ”Ran, mom hasn’t finished talking. If calling her over is too much, at least it can’t be that mom can’t say a few words to you, right?”

”I don’t think there’s anything to say between us; we no longer have any relationship. Didn’t you personally sign that agreement back then?” An Ran looked at Sun Xuehui holding her hand, raised her gaze, and asked, her eyes cold and completely devoid of warmth.

Sun Xuehui had long expected her to say this, and wasn’t bothered by it. Upon hearing her question, she calmly sat up straight, ”Yes, mom signed that agreement, but it was because mom found that man reliable, so she felt at ease entrusting you to him. Mom married you to him, not sold you. That twenty million, at most, could be considered as bridewealth. Besides, all these years, even without that agreement, my nurturing and care for you cannot be erased. Though we don’t share blood relations, I’ve treated you like my own daughter. Think about it, from childhood to adulthood, has Jiajia ever had anything that you didn’t have? I’m here to meet you for no big reason; I saw you just now being quite friendly with that star, Yin Qianxue. As you know, Jiajia is currently studying acting. Recently, she accepted a role collaborating with that star. Would you mind bringing Jiajia along to introduce her, let that star guide her, just to repay my years of nurturing? That shouldn’t be too difficult for you, right?”

Although finally asking her, the tone was entirely commanding.

Helping to introduce Lu Yi, helping to introduce Yin Qianxue; An Ran knew that in Sun Xuehui’s eyes, she was merely a tool for her use. Instead of selling her, she had the audacity to say it outright. Wasn’t it because she saw her value and wanted to retract her previous decision?
