Chapter 1229: Chapter 1233: Life is More Important

Seeing how Second Brother avoided Bai Linglong as much as possible and disdained her greatly, it was clear that Bai Linglong had nothing exceptional about her.

An ordinary girl without family support or outstanding merits wished to marry into a wealthy family; it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

People always aim higher.

If one can find better, who wouldn’t want better?

With countless eligible ladies from prestigious families, why would someone choose to marry a girl who had nothing and was not exceptional?

“That’s exactly it!” Xie Jinfei finally found someone who understood him and began to speak earnestly, “You have no idea how hypocritical she is. She clearly sees my good conditions and wealth, wanting to marry me to become the Second Young Madam of the Xie Family, yet she claims it’s because she loves me as a person. Then, to marry me, she aims to conveniently take care of grandma, making Senior Madame beam with joy, treating her like a treasure. Every time I see her hypocritical demeanor, I feel so disgusted I want to vomit! Marrying her would be worse than becoming a monk!”

The Cordyceps Donkey-hide Gelatine Soup that Xie Jinfei prepared was ready for drinking, and Ye Xingbei took a sip, finding it really delicious indeed.

As she sipped slowly, she comforted Xie Jinfei, “Second Brother, don’t worry. Although grandma is a bit confused, grandpa is a sensible person. Just treat it like you’re on a yearly holiday, take a good rest, and return home when grandpa comes back.”

“Mmm, that’s what I thought too!” Xie Jinfei leaned on the couch, holding a cushion, and sighed, “It’s really tough on our eldest brother, though. Our company is very busy. With me there, I could have helped him share some of the workload. I might not be as capable as our eldest brother, but there are many things he only trusts me to handle. Now that I’m taking a break, a lot of things that could have been assigned to me he has to do himself, definitely working overtime every day. I’m really afraid he’ll work himself to death!”

Hearing Xie Jinfei say this, Ye Xingbei also felt sorry for her own brother and frowned, asking Xie Jinfei, “Grandpa will be back in the country soon, right?”

“Should be soon,” Xie Jinfei said uncertainly, “Maybe another ten days or half a month. But it’s hard to say, grandpa’s work schedule is confidential, and he can’t discuss it with us. We only know the approximate time.”

“Oh,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “If he’ll be back in about ten days or half a month, our eldest brother shouldn’t work himself to death, right? Let’s call him later and tell him not to push himself too hard. Money can’t be earned enough, it’s enough to have what is needed, life is more important after all.”

“Exactly!” Xie Jinfei felt his sister truly understood him, nodding like a pecking hen, “That’s what I keep saying, it’s enough to have enough money, there’s no need to push so hard. But our eldest brother’s character is different from ours, he always says we can’t tarnish the Xie Family’s reputation, he must make the Xie Family flourish and prosper under his leadership… Oh right, there’s something even more important…”

Xie Jinfei’s expression became solemn, “Eldest brother intends to work in the government department next year, the company will be fully handed over to me. Before that, he wants to make the company even more stable and then hand it over to me, so he can feel more at ease.”

“Work in a government department?” Ye Xingbei was surprised, “Why?”

“It’s grandpa’s idea,” Xie Jinfei explained, “Sister, you’re still young, there are some things you might not understand yet. Although money is indispensable, often, power is more important than money. For a big family like ours, it’s essential to have both power and wealth. That’s how a family can thrive and prosper in the long term.”
