Super Rich by Doing as You Please

No wonder that Director Wang had been so chummy.

From that alone, she understood that Xino’s family background was anything but ordinary.

At this thought, she suddenly felt a wave of insecurity.

’Compared to ordinary people, I’m outstanding. But compared to these young ladies from rich and powerful families, I feel like I’m nothing.’

’Someone like her could decide my entire future with a single phone call.’

’How can I possibly compete with someone like that?’

’Maybe only a woman from a family like that is worthy of being Xu Yun’s official girlfriend.’

Xu Yun seemed to sense the change in her mood.

He reached out under the table, took her hand, and squeezed it gently.

Song Xiaowei stole a glance at Xu Yun, and in that moment, her spirits lifted considerably.

’It seems I’m not so dispensable after all.’

Xino then added gloomily, ”But my brother won’t agree to me kicking that person out of the TV station.”

”The fact that your brother is willing to step in at all is more than enough.” After all, Xu Yun had just beaten the guy up. It was clear he truly doted on his little sister.

He smiled and said, ”Don’t bother your brother anymore. Yan Can and I can handle the rest.”

”That’s good.”

Xino said guiltily, ”I was just worried I wasn’t being helpful to you and your cousin.”

”Oh, right.”

Xu Yun remembered something and said, ”We’re leaving on our trip the day after tomorrow, so get ready over the next two days.”

”Mhm, I’ve already started getting ready.”

Yan Can said, ”Brother Xu, can I go with you?”

”I don’t have room for you in my car.”

”Brother Xu, I can drive myself. Just let me tag along.”

Xino chimed in to plead his case. ”Xu Yun, why don’t we just bring him along? He can help out on the road, be our pack mule.”

”...” Yan Can.

’Young Miss, isn’t that a little too cruel?!’

’She’s planning on treating me like a workhorse.’

’Whatever. I’ll put up with it if it means I can go on the trip.’

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Yun said, ”Fine, you can come. Just make sure you pack your own things.”

”Thanks, Brother Xu.”

Yan Can grinned. ”I promise I won’t slow you guys down.”

Afterward, the four of them left the tavern, had dinner, and then parted ways.

Xino wanted to go back with Xu Yun, but he refused, giving the reason that he had to take his ”cousin” home.

After a lingering, reluctant goodbye, Xino got into Yan Can’s car and left.

”Let’s go home.” Xu Yun drove Song Xiaowei back to his new place.

This was Song Xiaowei’s first time here, and her first time experiencing a luxurious, top-floor riverside penthouse like this.

After a bath in the spacious tub, she slipped into the nightgown Xu Yun had prepared for her. Her bare feet sank into a plush Hermes carpet. Gazing up at the massive crystal chandelier overhead before looking out at the beautiful nightscape in the distance, it all felt like a dream.

For someone like her, this place was undoubtedly ”heaven” on earth.

After all, even if she worked for ten lifetimes, she might not be able to afford a place like this.

Xu Yun came up from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. He held her and asked with a smile, ”Is the view beautiful?”

”It’s beautiful,” she said. ”It just feels a little unreal.”

Song Xiaowei turned to look at Xu Yun with deep affection and murmured, ”I used to look down on those gold diggers, thinking they were pathetic for selling themselves for money.

But after meeting you, I’ve started to think... maybe there’s nothing wrong with it. At least you get to live a good life.”

From despising them, to understanding them, to becoming one of them. After graduating from school, Song Xiaowei had, without even realizing it, undergone a complete metamorphosis.

”I can make your life even better.”

Xu Yun gave a meaningful smile, scooped her up into his arms, and carried her toward the bedroom.
