Chapter 341: 342. Instigation (13 more updates)

Cao Shiyu walked up to Chen Su and looked at the scene, curling her lips, "This woman really has no shame, being all affectionate with a man in public. Even if he is her fiancé, she should consider her influence a bit."

Chen Su withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "They are fiancés, rightfully and legitimately."

"So what if they’re fiancés? In ancient times, even between husband and wife such behavior was considered vulgar. Chen Su, no offense, but you are just too passive. Look at them; if you were a bit more proactive, Shen Junyu would have been yours by now, and this woman wouldn’t have mattered."

A mysterious light flickered in Chen Su’s eyes. Cao Shiyu’s words had indeed reached her heart. Sometimes, she too wondered if things would have been different if she had been more proactive.

"You ask me, it’s not too late to make a move now. They’re not married yet; that’s your opportunity," Cao Shiyu suddenly lowered her voice and said, "If you really want to win over Shen Junyu, I can help you."

Chen Su glanced at her, "How do you plan to help me?"

Cao Shiyu smiled, "I can’t tell you the method just yet. I need to confirm something with you first. Are you willing to pay any price to have Shen Junyu?"

Chen Su stared at her steadily, "Make yourself clear first."

Cao Shiyu, realizing she didn’t catch on, was somewhat speechless. She pulled her into a corner and whispered, "As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee you can win over Shen Junyu tonight. Shen Junyu is a man of strong responsibility. If you really end up together, he definitely won’t have a future with Wen Xiyao. Then, you can prepare to marry into the Shen family and become the lady of the manor."

Chen Su’s complexion was uncertain. Seeing this, Cao Shiyu continued, "I must remind you, openly snatching Shen Junyu from someone else is extremely difficult. You can see it yourself; he simply doesn’t like you. I’m not trying to discourage you, but Wen Xiyao is indeed younger and prettier, comes from a better family, and she’s even the general manager of Xinhe International. What do you have to compete with her?"

"I know my methods are a bit shameless, but they are effective."

Chen Su spoke up, "If I do this, Shen Junyu will surely despise me. Even if I marry him, I would only get the title of Mrs. Shen, a marriage in name only. What’s the point?"

Cao Shiyu looked at her as if seeing a fool, "Sister, how old are you to still believe in love? I don’t believe that your love for Shen Junyu is that pure. Tell me, if Shen Junyu wasn’t the eldest grandson of the Shen family, the president of the Junlan Group, would you still be so obsessed with him?"

Chen Su’s expression stiffened. Seeing this, Cao Shiyu instantly understood and continued, "Besides, feelings can develop over time. Once you’re married, you’ll have plenty of time. Devote your heart to him, treat him with absolute sincerity, and will he be able to ignore your devotion? And if you’re lucky enough to have a child, considering the child, your relationship won’t be too strained. Men, no matter how much they value a relationship, can it outweigh their own child?"

"Is this how you got together with your husband?" Chen Su suddenly asked.

Cao Shiyu’s smile froze for a moment, ha-ha, "We’re talking about you. Why did you bring up my case? I married my husband because we were in love. You know I’m picky."

Although she said this, Chen Su was certain Cao Shiyu had used similar tactics with her husband.

Chen Su was indecisive. What Cao Shiyu proposed tempted her, but her upbringing and education told her it was wrong. If she did it, she would surely make Shen Junyu despise her.

Seeing her hesitation, Cao Shiyu pressed on, "Right now, Shen Junyu doesn’t like you either. Because of this woman, he’s even avoiding you. It couldn’t be worse than it is now, right?"

Chen Su’s eyes shifted slightly. Yes, Shen Junyu did not like her anyway. Whether she did it or not, she would still be unloved. If she did it, she might still have a chance. If not, she would just watch Shen Junyu marry another woman.

"How can you help me, or rather, what do I need to do to cooperate with you?" Chen Su spoke, her voice hoarse.

A sharp light flashed in Cao Shiyu’s eyes as she lowered her voice, "I don’t have anything on me right now. Wait for me; I’ll make a call and have someone bring it over. Later, I’ll find a way to make Shen Junyu consume it. You must seize the opportunity. If another woman gets there first, then I really can’t help you."

Chen Su clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fixed on Shen Junyu. Seeing him chatting and laughing with Wen Xiyao, she finally nodded, "Okay."

Cao Shiyu smiled faintly, took out her cellphone, and walked away. After a while, she returned, "The item is on its way. But Chen Su, I’m helping you so much, if you really marry into the Shen family, could you..."

Chen Su immediately understood, "Don’t worry, if I really marry Shen Junyu, I will definitely help with your husband’s matter."

Cao Shiyu immediately smiled, "Chen Su, just wait to be with Shen Junyu forever."

On the other side, Shen Qinglan and Yu Xiaoxuan chatted for a while. Seeing it was about time, they went to find Fu Hengyi. Fu Hengyi was playing Mahjong with Han Yi and a few others.

Han Yi looked frustrated, clearly having lost. When he saw Shen Qinglan come in, he quickly stood up, "Little sister-in-law, I need to use the restroom; cover for me for a bit."

"Hey Han Yi, don’t just run after losing! Are you even a man?" Gu Yang shouted. He was having good luck tonight and wasn’t ready to stop.

Han Yi didn’t take the bait, "Don’t you know nature calls? Little sister-in-law, play for me. If you win, we split it; if you lose, it’s on me."

Shen Qinglan was pushed into the chair by Han Yi, who then ran off. Gu Yang, speechless, glanced at Han Yi’s leaving figure, "That Han Yi, leaving just because he lost a bit. That’s not very brotherly."

Jiang Chenxi smiled and said, "Yeah, not much, just one million."

Gu Yang instantly shut up. Ever since he had joined the army, his pocket money had ceased to exist. Besides the few thousand yuan allowance from the army, he had no other money. Among those sitting here, he was the poorest, and one million was an astronomical figure for him now.

Fu Hengyi pushed the chips in front of Shen Qinglan, "Wife, this is the pocket money I won for you tonight."

Shen Qinglan took a glance, "Wow, that’s quite a lot. I bet Han Yi lost about seventy percent of it to Fu Hengyi tonight."

"No way, we can’t let the little sister-in-law replace Han Yi. If she plays, it’s like blatantly letting my older brother rig the game. Then there’s nothing left for us to do," Gu Yang exclaimed.

This sentiment was echoed by the others. If the couple teamed up, everyone else would just end up paying them money.

"I won’t play, let Gu Kai play for me," Shen Qinglan volunteered as she stood up. She pulled up a chair and sat next to Fu Hengyi, adopting a spectator’s stance.

"Right, let Gu Kai play," Gu Yang agreed.

Gu Kai had no objections and sat down at Shen Qinglan’s original spot.

The game restarted. Yu Xiaoxuan came in with Han Yi and saw the scene, clicking her tongue, "At the company’s annual meeting, and you guys are hiding here playing mahjong."

Jiang Chenxi and the others were already familiar with Yu Xiaoxuan and spoke more freely, "With Jun Yu hosting outside, that’s enough. We’re just here to play a minor role." Their main purpose tonight was to take this opportunity to have a good gathering.

After Han Yi came in, he no longer went up but instead, like Shen Qinglan, pulled up a chair and sat to the side to watch. Yu Xiaoxuan stood next to him.

"Bro, are you calculating the cards again?" Gu Yang blurted out after losing two rounds.

Fu Hengyi’s expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "You can count too."

Hearing this, Gu Yang threw down his mahjong tiles, "I’m not playing anymore. You know how to count cards; how can we play against you?"

"Gu Yang, you’re running away after losing just two rounds. Are you even a man?" Han Yi threw Gu Yang’s earlier words back at him.

Gu Yang laughed, "You’re the man, why did you run off?" His eyes darted around, paused on Yu Xiaoxuan, and he chuckled, "Xiao Xuan, do you play?"

Yu Xiaoxuan nodded subconsciously, "A little bit."

Gu Yang looked at Fu Hengyi, "Bro, how about letting Xiao Xuan play a couple of rounds?"

Fu Hengyi didn’t mind, it was all in good fun. He looked at Shen Qinglan, and she helped push his wheelchair to the side.

Gu Yang pulled Yu Xiaoxuan to sit down, "Come, sit here and play a few rounds with us."

Yu Xiaoxuan waved her hand, "I’m not playing, you guys play too big, I’m scared." She then tried to stand up.

Gu Yang held her down, "You don’t have money, but Han Yi does. Even if you lose a billion tonight, Han Yi wouldn’t even blink an eye, ask him if you don’t believe me."

Han Yi smiled, his peach blossom eyes shining, "Go ahead and play if you want. Your husband has money. Even if it runs out, it doesn’t matter; I can earn it back."

Yu Xiaoxuan still didn’t want to play. She was not very good at mahjong; like she said, she only knew a little bit.

Han Yi held her hand and sat beside her, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Just play without worry."

"Xiao Xuan, it’s just for fun, no need to take it so seriously," Shen Qinglan chimed in.

Everyone had said their piece, if she refused any further, it would seem pretentious. Yu Xiaoxuan sat down and picked up the mahjong tiles.

The experts no longer playing, Gu Yang was finally satisfied and sat down, "Alright, let’s start. Just to make it clear, those of you watching can only watch, no helping or giving advice."

Han Yi snorted with laughter, "As if we’re like you."

Elsewhere, all was calm, but outside, the storm was about to begin.
