Chapter 570: Chapter 571 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 88_1

Shen Jie was in a great mood, after all, her family was moving in a good direction.

Shen Xiaoguang, who had returned from advanced studies and had been promoted again, couldn’t compare with the speed of some people’s promotions, but he was already doing better than many.

As for Shen Xiaohui, his career and love life were both thriving, and Shen Jie believed that he and Feng Dan would definitely have a good life together.

As for herself, she was sure to have a very happy life as well.

However beautiful her mood had been, it soured considerably upon seeing Shen Yuan, who was both familiar yet estranged.

Shen Yuan had previously wondered if Shen Jie would recognize her; now she was certain Shen Jie had not forgotten her.

Waving her hand at her, "Long time no see."

"If possible, I hope to never see you again," Shen Jie stopped a meter away from her.

She glanced over and thought, well, this person seemed to be doing alright, "You appear to be living a pretty good life."

"Indeed, I am living well, and you probably didn’t expect that, did you?" Shen Yuan glared venomously at Shen Jie.

"And the clothes you’re wearing..." Shen Yuan spun around on the spot a few times, "How about that, this is fashion from The South."

Shen Jie didn’t continue to speak, just watched Shen Yuan’s performance, "If you think it’s good, then it’s fine."

"Life is for oneself to live." Did Shen Jie know Shen Yuan was doing well; did that mean she was doing poorly?

"After all, I’m not short of money. I’m actually relieved you’re living well, so I don’t have to worry about you struggling and coming to me for help," said Shen Yuan, who had dropped out of high school and fallen out with Shen Jianshe’s family.

Most of the connections they relied on for success in their previous lives were utterly hopeless, but maybe where there’s no hope in one place, there might be potential elsewhere.

Shen Yuan was least willing to face or mention the time period when she received financial support, "Borrow money from you?"

She took out her wallet from her pocket, followed by a thick stack of ten-yuan bills, "If this isn’t money, then what is it?"

"Have you ever seen so much money?"

"I bet you can’t make this much in a year, even if you’ve graduated with a master’s degree. What of it?"

"You’re still poor," Shen Yuan said with cold sarcasm.

Someone, too busy venting to notice, didn’t see that people passing by were all looking at her with displeasure.

"Yes, you have money. Have you bought a house in The South?"

"Or have you bought any property at all?"

"If you haven’t bought a house, have you at least bought a commercial space?"

A house? Commercial space? Shen Yuan and her family had of course not bought any; they had very little money when they left home.

Later, they earned some money through working for others, and then started their business. Due to insufficient capital at first, they couldn’t procure much inventory.

After struggling for over a year, they slowly expanded their business. If it weren’t for this trip to Capital City to sell goods, she wouldn’t have looked up Shen Jie.

"We’re always on the move; even if we bought a house, we wouldn’t have time to live in it," Shen Yuan tried to explain.

"So that means you haven’t bought a house."

"Right, where did your household registration go? I know that after you were locked up, your family kicked you out."

"Your family certainly wouldn’t let your household registration be transferred there."

"As for the Gao Family, it should be possible, after all, Gao Jian helped your family a lot," Shen Jie was just about to continue.

"Those people from the Gao Family are heartless and ungrateful. Gao Jian was so good to them, but look how they repaid him."

"He’s lost face for the Gao Family, and his mom gave the job that was under her name to his brother instead."

"That job was supposed to be Gao Jian’s." Shen Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

"But do you guys even care about that job?" Shen Jie blurted out, "If Gao Jian hadn’t run out of options, would he be willing to go into business?"

If there had been a more stable job, Shen Jie wouldn’t think Gao Jian would be willing to go job hunting.

"Do you think Gao Jian would still be willing to marry you?"

"He works hard every month and then the income has to cover all sorts of family expenses. Could you live as comfortably as you do now?"

"Could you still dress up so extravagantly?"

Back then, Gao Jian was making money in business, and he was quite generous to Shen Yuan, but he was even more generous to the Gao Family.

Because of this, Shen Yuan had frequent quarrels with Gao Jian, but he just ignored her, treating the Gao Family better than he treated her.

This time, Gao Jian and the Gao Family had a falling out, and Gao Jian’s attitude towards Shen Yuan should have improved quite a bit, at least she wouldn’t be complaining about Gao Jian being biased anymore, right?

"But even if he’s nicer to you, you still need to buy a house, right? With a house, you can get your residence registration settled."

"Only after getting a house do you have a foundation, otherwise, will your residence registration just hang there in the rural Northeast?"

Shen Jie felt Gao Jian probably didn’t truly want to buy a house, but it was just as well, without a house, at least Shen Yuan couldn’t be smug.

"Do you have a house?" Shen Yuan must want to buy a house too, right? Of course, she wanted to buy one, but the problem was, buying a house wasn’t up to her.

The money was all in Gao Jian’s hands. If he wasn’t willing to buy a house, there was nothing she could do about it.

But Shen Yuan wouldn’t show weakness in front of Shen Jie, just a college student after all, "Do you have a house?"

"No," Shen Jie shook her head, "I’m still a student, how could I have money to buy a house?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan’s face was about to show smugness, but Shen Jie continued, "But after I graduate, I can wait for a house to be assigned to me by my work unit."

"It’s just, I don’t know when you’ll buy a house. If you keep running around outside, Gao Jian always says, ’We aren’t stable, it’s not the right time to buy a house.’"

Shen Jie pretended not to care and asked, "By the way, do you know exactly how much you’re making?"

"We make a lot," Shen Yuan said arrogantly, just as she was about to boast, "How much is a lot? Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or a hundred thousand?"

"That... that..." Shen Yuan started to panic, she didn’t know that much.

Looking at Shen Yuan who knew nothing, Shen Jie helplessly said, "Please, they just tell you a number and you believe it?"

"Forget it, I won’t say more to prevent you from getting jealous later." Sometimes, the more you say, the more you might upset someone.

Only by leaving things half-said can you really make an impression.

"You said, we are sisters." Shen Yuan was actually a bit worried too; they were in business together, and she had put in her capital and worked tirelessly.

But the money was all in Gao Jian’s hands. She knew they must be making money, but she didn’t know exactly how much.

She was completely in the dark about how much money Gao Jian had now.

Without a house in her name, if one day Gao Jian’s heart wandered again, she would be the one at a loss.

"At least you should have a house in your name, that’s the real guarantee."

"But I think never mind, Gao Jian has got you pegged." Shen Jie regretfully said that Shen Yuan had no way to deal with Gao Jian, and she didn’t bother to think of a solution either.

"What does he have pegged about me?" the prideful Shen Yuan said. She just gave Gao Jian face in public; in reality, she was the one who had the final say.

Shen Jie chuckled, which made Shen Yuan even more irate, "Really, at home, I’m the one in charge."
