Chapter 275: 270, sent in the middle of the night, please support with votes!

Broad daylight.

In front of a public audience.

To unexpectedly make a move.

Frivolous.

That was really too frivolous!

Zou Luoxia, with eyes sharp as a hawk’s, kept her gaze fixed on Jiang Chen as she approached.

"Jiang Chen, this is the neighborhood. I think we should be mindful of the influence, don’t you?"

Not only Xue Gui and his wife, but also Liu Hongzhi and Xue Yali had arrived.

Jiang Chen withdrew his hand.

"Uncle, Auntie..."

Li Shuru quickly got off the treadmill and greeted them.

Zou Luoxia still frowned deeply, looking at Jiang Chen as if he were a pig that had just rooted through her own fine cabbages.

"Is your mom upstairs?"

Xue Gui asked with a smile.

"Mhm."

"Go on up."

Xue Gui didn’t make a big deal out of it. Times had changed, and now young people were seen hugging, embracing, and even kissing in the streets; touching one’s head was hardly a cause for alarm.

"Sis, did you not get a good night’s rest last night?"

Xue Yali keenly noticed the slight darkness under her cousin’s eyes, but strangely enough, her cousin’s complexion was good, radiant even, brighter and more beautiful than the previous day and not at all like someone lacking sleep.

How very odd indeed.

The speaker was unaware, but the listener keenly sensitive. Seeing her uncle and aunt look her way, Li Shuru forced a smile.

"I stayed up late chatting with my mom last night."

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"Sis."

"You’re here, come in and sit down."

A big group of people entered the house.

Jiang Chen was not idle, helping to serve tea and water, acting just like Li’s son-in-law.

Xue Gui was fairly satisfied with the young man so far, "Jiang Chen, you sit too."

As for his wife’s so-called "considerations of social status," he scoffed at them.

They came from an ordinary family; what social status could there be?

The sofa couldn’t fit everyone, so Jiang Chen got a plastic chair and sat next to the coffee table.

"Sis, we just went to see your husband."

Zou Luoxia quickly mentioned, remembering her daughter’s oversight from the day before. She held her daughter’s hand, "I even had Lily kowtow to her uncle-in-law."

"Visiting alone was enough; there was no need for kowtowing. It’s not something people do these days."

"But you can’t say that. Her uncle-in-law always treated Lily as if she were his own daughter. It’s only right that she kowtowed."

Xue Mingqin nodded in agreement and then looked at Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, are your shoes dry? Should I use the hairdryer to blow them again?"

"Auntie Xue, they are already dry."

Jiang Chen responded.

"What happened? How did the shoes get wet?"

Zou Luoxia looked at Jiang Chen, her face showing confusion.

"I accidentally washed his shoes yesterday."

Xue Mingqin explained.

Zou Luoxia was stunned.

She was a mother too, and she also had a daughter. How could she not understand the implications of those words?

"Jiang Chen stayed here last night?"

"Yes."

Xue Mingqin nodded nonchalantly.

"Sis, this... isn’t quite appropriate, is it?"

Zou Luoxia said hurriedly.

Even Xue Gui, who was drinking tea, paused with his cup in his hand.

It was inappropriate to stay overnight at the girl’s house the first time he visited.

"What’s wrong with that, it’s not like we don’t have enough space."

Xue Mingqin laughed, seemingly oblivious to the key concern raised by her sister-in-law, "Jiang Chen did say he wanted to stay at a hotel, but Shu Rui’s bed is quite large, and it’s not like the two of them couldn’t fit; why waste the money unnecessarily?"

Zou Luoxia couldn’t help but look at her husband.

The couple exchanged glances.

Well, this is something.

To think they allowed an overnight stay, and, by the sound of it, the two young people even shared a bed?

Xue Yali was also somewhat surprised as she looked at her aunt.

You have to understand, even with her mother’s fondness for her boyfriend, he still stayed in a hotel.

Then there’s this.

She couldn’t help but look towards her cousin.

Not exactly a shy flower, Xue Yali’s cheeks flushed with a sudden rush of color, and she unconsciously picked up her teacup and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.

She thought she understood why her cousin looked rather strange just now.

Zou Luoxia became silent.

Xue Gui, being an uncle, hesitated to speak, but he didn’t know what to say.

He certainly didn’t approve of this situation.

But since they had already shared a bed, what good would expressing disapproval do?

It would only embarrass the young couple.

"Jiang Chen, you’re in your senior year, right?"

"Yes."

"You’re about to graduate; do you have any plans for the future?"

Xue Gui swiftly changed the subject.

At this point, they could only look forward.

Zou Luoxia was full of dissatisfaction, but after all, it wasn’t her daughter, so she only gripped her hands tightly, struggling to contain her emotions.

Originally, she wanted Liu Hongzhi to introduce some talented young men to her niece.

But now look at them.

They’ve already slept together.

How could she even bring it up?

Not to mention these immediate family members, even Liu Hongzhi, the only outsider present, upon hearing that Jiang Chen and Li Shuru shared a bed the previous night, displayed a trace of unease on his cultivated face.

This might be a common issue among men.

Seeing the youthful yet mature charm on his "aunty niece’s" face, he adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses and involuntarily clenched his disposable cup—a gesture that betrayed his inner discomfort.

When a female elder starts asking about your future plans, it implies you’ve already gained preliminary approval in her eyes.

Jiang Chen didn’t play dumb; he spoke modestly yet firmly: "I want to start my own business."

He really did announce his intentions with conviction.

Xue Gui was startled, caught off guard, and before he could respond, his wife, poised for action, couldn’t hold back.

"Start your own business? Starting a business isn’t that simple. Have you not seen the current economic climate? Young man, you need to be pragmatic, and you mustn’t aim too high."

She lectured him from a position of authority, adopting the tone of an elder advising a junior.

Jiang Chen kept his smile and didn’t argue.

But Li Shuru couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Auntie, the economic environment is tough, and starting a business is risky, but is working for others really a guaranteed path to success?"

Zou Luoxia probably didn’t expect her niece to talk back, and she was momentarily taken aback.

"Having a job offers stability. Who hasn’t started out working for someone else? At the very least, you should first accumulate some social experience before considering starting your own business, right?"

Zou Luoxia had a point.

"Besides, starting a business requires capital. Even though East Sea University is decent nationally, it’s only a first-tier university, not the very best. There are universities like Tsinghua and Peking, and internationally, it goes without saying. Those working on Wall Street, who doesn’t have diplomas from prestigious international universities like Stanford or Harvard? As a student from an ordinary domestic university, who will invest in you..."

Li Shuru couldn’t stand to listen anymore.

It all came down to her aunt believing that foreign countries were superior, that Wall Street was the center of the world, and that Ya Li’s boyfriend was the cream of the crop, superior in every way.

She wasn’t one to show off, but she would not let her relatives belittle Jiang Chen.

"Auntie, Jiang Chen doesn’t need anyone else’s investment; he has already established a company."

That came as a thunderclap in a clear sky.

The entire Xue family was taken aback.
