Chapter 356: Taking Care of the Girl’s Family

As if she had been caught red-handed on the spot, she flinched and panicked upon making eye contact with the man.

“Yahan, what are you doing here?” asked her boyfriend.

“I-I got lost for a moment after stepping out of the bathroom. While I was finding my way back, I chanced upon this stunning gown.”

“Come over and tell me what gown you are talking about. I’ll buy one for you.”

Upon hearing that, Mo Jiangye leaned back against the chair, putting his arms behind his head. Buy it for her?

“It’s a pink diamond-studded gown. It looks absolutely gorgeous.”

Xu Xu was left speechless.

Pink diamond-studded gown?

Where am I supposed to find pink diamonds? Our boss has bought all the pink diamonds that have appeared on the market.

“D*mn! Chief, you surely didn’t get someone to cut those two ginormous diamonds and sew them on a dress, did you?”

Ye Erruo let out a small cough. “That’s exactly what he did.”

“Wow. The effort you put in…”

The man merely shot him a look in response. It’s only right that I put in a lot of thought and effort to please my wife.

“Dinner is ready, sir,” reported a maid who came forward.

“We just started playing the game. Let’s have dinner in a while.”

“I’m hungry, Xu Xu…”

Pfft— Cough, cough, cough, cough… Zheng Yi choked on the tea he was sipping on and almost spat out a mouthful upon hearing the affectionate way his buddy’s girlfriend had addressed him.

“In that case, let’s just eat first,” said Ye Erruo.

“Alright. Dinner first.”

“Okay.” Fang Yahan looped her arm around Xu Xu’s as they made their way to the dining room.

The several-meter-long table was filled with a spread of delicacies, many of which the lass had never seen before. To her, they seemed to be eating a work of art rather than a meal, for the plates and presentation of every dish served were exquisitely beautiful, just like the way ancient emperors were served their meals.

Even now, the maids were still constantly serving food. Wang Yiyang and the rest, who had long treated this place as their home and had never stood on ceremony with their chieftain, naturally dug into the food with ease.

In contrast, the young lady, who was sitting beside her beau, felt thoroughly embarrassed and ashamed. Not knowing how to go about eating some of these foods, she swept a nervous glance across the spread.

“Yahan, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I had the maids prepare a variety of food for you. Feel free to ask Xu Xu to help you get whatever you want.”

“Thank you, sis-in-law.”

“Xu Xu, how did you manage to hook up with this young lady?”

“We met in a pub,” Xu Xu revealed. “Her parents passed away early, leaving behind her and her younger siblings. Her life has been tough. She’s worked hard to support her family by holding several part-time jobs a day. She’s different from rich heiresses who cannot stand the slightest bit of hardship.”

Zheng Yi took a sip of red wine before asking, “Is she still living such a hard life?”

“Come on, she’s my girlfriend and future wife. How can I possibly let her continue living such a hard life?”

Ye Erruo raised a brow. Is he saying that he’s taken on the responsibility of taking care of his girlfriend and her family?

“Besides, how much can their monthly expenses be? Sixty grand tops. It’s not like I can’t afford it, so why would I let her continue working those part-time jobs?”

She blinked in shock. “Sixty grand? What do her younger siblings do?”

“They’re still in school. I just couldn’t bear to see them be inferior to others, so I had them transferred to better schools.”

“I see.”

It’s very difficult for a normal family to earn that kind of money. What on earth did she do for a living to earn so much? Something feels off…

“What kind of jobs did she hold to earn sixty grand a month?” Zheng Yi happened to pose the question she had been wondering about.

“She used to be the lead singer and pianist at a bar and she has also given out flyers before. Well, she’s done most of the part-time jobs out there,” answered Xu Xu.

Mo Jiangye, who was sitting at the head seat of the dining table, delivered a peeled shrimp to his wife’s mouth. Upon seeing her dazed look, he ordered her, “Open your mouth.”

She slowly parted her lips and swallowed the prawn in one mouthful.

Meanwhile, the other woman had fixed her eyes on him…
