Chapter 572: Chapter 573 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 90_1

"Forget it, she chose this herself, don’t expect a person with ill intentions to meet any good people."

"The man she chose, good or bad, is her own burden to bear." The old lady did not forget to remind her descendants at home.

"Although we’re relatives, not every relative is worth helping."

"I know, Mom, don’t worry." Shen Jianshe had always been dissatisfied with Shen Yuan, and knowing her current behavior, he was even less likely to lend a helping hand.

"Granny, don’t worry, I’m not close to her." Shen Xiaohui had not expected Shen Yuan, who should have bowed out long ago, to pop up again.

"I really don’t know where she gets the confidence to come here and show off." Shen Xiaohui turned to look at Shen Jie, "Did you not mention your brother-in-law’s matter?"

Just mentioning it would be enough to make Shen Yuan die of jealousy.

"She only knows I have a boyfriend, whom I met during the days I was sent down to the countryside; he’s also a bookish type."

"In her eyes, a scholar is good for nothing, can’t compare to her, let alone compare to Gao Jian."

Even now, she could still recall Shen Jie’s contemptuous face, "Anyway, in her eyes, getting into university is not as good as making money."

Shen Xiaohui rolled her eyes in exasperation, "With her intelligence, I really don’t know what she’s busy with."

"Obviously, we’re doing business together, putting in capital together, staying busy, and yet she still doesn’t know how much money she’s making."

Shen Xiaohui shook her head, "It’s like being sold and still counting money for the buyer."

"Forget it, if she’s not worried, why should we bystanders get all worked up."

Suddenly feeling a bit smug, Shen Xiaohui said, "Sis, I suddenly think the brother-in-law is pretty good, earning money with us."

Although their capital was nothing to speak of in their eyes, they still got their share of the profits each time.

"Do you think I can compare my wealth with Shen Yuan?" Shen Xiaohui really wanted to make a comparison.

"Do you think our wealth can surpass Shen Yuan’s?"

That, Shen Jie truly didn’t have an answer, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I think even Shen Yuan might not know her own net worth."

"Poor thing." Although she looked down on Shen Yuan’s ways, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for her.

What they never realized was that Shen Yuan, whom they had disregarded, had quietly done something big.

Something that shocked them all, but after the shock, they weren’t too surprised, as it was characteristic of Shen Yuan’s way of doing things.

As days went by, the goods brought by Gao Jian and his team were sold almost out.

Though it was tough and required traveling everywhere, there was no denying the profit was indeed very good.

Being in business, being busy and tired were not problems for them, as long as they could make money.

"We’ll take a break to regroup, and then we’ll head to The South to restock," Gao Jian announced while counting money in front of Shen Yuan.

At first, he was somewhat wary, but later he realized that Shen Yuan just asked a few questions occasionally, and if she asked too many, a single outburst from him was enough to keep her in check.

Gao Jian counted money in front of Shen Yuan also to let her know that their business was profitable, so that Shen Yuan would work even harder.

Shen Yuan was mending clothes, seeming not to care at all about Gao Jian counting money or how much was earned, just busy with her work.

When Gao Jian put the money away, he saw Shen Yuan mending clothes and his eyes flickered with disdain.

If it were before, when they had no money, clothes that needed a little patching were still wearable.

But now that they weren’t penniless, there was no need to be so harsh on themselves, though it was good for him and his entrepreneurship that Shen Yuan refrained from buying anything other than some outfits and bags that were just for show.

Gao Jian placed the money in the wooden box, then locked it, slipping the key into his pocket.

"I’m stepping out," said Gao Jian, thinking of celebrating after earning a substantial sum of money. His new fling from the past few days was quite enthralled with him, making it the perfect time to see her more before leaving the Capital City.

Another trip out, and Shen Yuan knew that, unless she was mistaken, he was definitely going to see that woman.

The old her would have been heartbroken, having given so much only for Gao Jian to utterly overlook it.

But the current her didn’t care about these things, a man was just a man, after all. If Gao Jian could use her, why couldn’t she use others?

Now was the best time. She had already planned it all out, starting today, to get her hands on the money and then purchase that house.

Even if she continued to rent it out, even if the rent wasn’t much, it would at least be her fallback.

Even if she and Gao Jian parted ways later on, and the heartless guy didn’t leave her much, at least she would have bought a house.

Shen Yuan didn’t bother with the money in the box; it was there and wasn’t going anywhere.

What she cared about now was where Gao Jian had been hiding his private stash of money before.

These past days, under the guise of housework, she had thoroughly searched the house several times, and she already knew where Gao Jian hid his private money.

But to avoid alarming him and letting him catch on, she had resisted the urge to act, even though she was curious.

Today was a good day, and soon, she would make her move, and all this money would be hers.

Shen Yuan took out everything from where Gao Jian hid his private money and didn’t forget to check well one more time, unearthing a few more spots, though they yielded little.

Sometimes, it wasn’t about the quantity but the content.

Upon opening the newly found items, she discovered they weren’t gold rings or necklaces, they were Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets, with gold being the main theme.

Shen Yuan had never imagined she would see so much gold in her lifetime. "This guy..."

She then opened other items she found, and although there was no gold, there were jade bracelets and pendants.

The old Shen Yuan had never seen jade and certainly didn’t know how valuable it was, so she wouldn’t have cared.

But the Shen Yuan who had been to her share of social gatherings knew that jade was even more valuable than gold.

Apart from these, there were also several bankbooks, opened in cities in The South, places they had been to sell goods before.

Seeing the location where the bankbooks were opened, she could no longer delude herself.

If he hadn’t had plans all along, why would he open bankbooks there? She had been kept in the dark about this.

"He kept telling me we didn’t have enough money, needed to stock up on clothes, turns out I was being treated like a fool."

Shen Yuan was a heartless person. She had even considered drugging him, just wanting to get the money, but now that she knew Gao Jian’s maneuver, she didn’t care.

Since he treated her this way, she wouldn’t be courteous. She added all the items to the luggage she had hidden away in advance.

The remaining plans would have to wait for Gao Jian’s return. The show would go on only after he came back.
