Wang Xueru had gone out to buy fruit, leaving only a troubled Liu Zhaoxia and her daughter Wang Bingru in the hospital room.
Suddenly, Wang Bingru’s phone rang. Subconsciously, she picked it up and glanced at it, then her somewhat weary beautiful eyes widened in shock.
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing her daughter’s unusual emotion, Liu Zhaoxia asked with puzzlement.
“Mr. Yang transferred a sum of money to me.”
Wang Bingru was not one to lie; she told the truth.
“How much?”
Liu Zhaoxia had thought that it was just some condolatory money transferred by her daughter’s boss, so she didn’t take it very seriously.
“One million!”
“How much???”
This time Liu Zhaoxia couldn’t stay calm anymore; she thought she had heard wrong.
“Indeed, one million.”
Wang Bingru had counted twice before handing the phone to her mother.
“This…”
“That’s too much!”
Liu Zhaoxia was completely stunned; she had never seen so much money in her life.
“Bingru, you surely don’t have an improper relationship with Mr. Yang?”
“He’s Xueru’s boyfriend, after all!”
Liu Zhaoxia frowned deeply. She might be poor but her moral compass was straight; she thought it would be highly immoral for her daughter to take her niece Wang Xueru’s boyfriend.
“No!”
Wang Bingru shook her head decisively.
But she was still somewhat guilty; had her father not been hit by a car and injured today, and had she and her sister Wang Xueru’s plan gone smoothly, she wouldn’t have been able to answer this question so decisively.
At the moment, she indeed had no improper relationship with Yang Hao—just an ordinary superior-subordinate one.
“If there is no improper relationship, why would he transfer so much money to you?”
“Could it be that he’s interested in you??”
Liu Zhaoxia still believed in her daughter, understanding her own child, who had been honest since childhood.
“Isn’t it obvious? He must have taken a fancy to our Bingru!” Continue your adventure at empire
At this moment, Wang Changsheng spoke weakly from the hospital bed.
He could not move, but his consciousness was still clear, and he had heard the entire conversation between mother and daughter.
“Mr. Yang seems quite proper and looks good, how could it be like this!”
“Eating from the bowl while looking at what’s in the pot!” Liu Zhaoxia frowned and sighed, then turned her head to caution her daughter, “Bingru, you mustn’t do anything to wrong Xueru.”
“Xueru has taken such good care of you!”
Wang Bingru nodded earnestly, “Mom, rest assured, I’m not that kind of person.”
“I will listen to my sister and won’t do anything to wrong her!”
While Wang Bingru said this, her heart was silently rebuking: But sister wants me to do things that would “wrong” her!
Three days earlier, Wang Xueru had a long talk with her, explaining her predicament and ideas.
Wang Xueru felt she lacked competitiveness compared to other women, so she wanted to form an alliance with Wang Bingru, her sister.
Recent experiences had overturned Wang Bingru’s previous understandings, even her worldview and values, plus Yang Hao indeed had the charm of a compelling CEO.
Therefore, Wang Bingru had indeed been tempted, and with Wang Xueru offering her a way out, she willingly agreed.
“We can’t do anything to wrong Xueru unless Yang and Xueru have already broken up.”
Wang Changsheng added.
“Aunt, Uncle, let me say a few words…”
Wang Xueru, who had just returned from buying fruit, happened to hear her family’s conversation. Standing originally at the door, she strode into the room.
She placed the fruit on the empty bed nearby and then said earnestly, “Although I’m dating Yang, with his kind of status, it’s impossible that he will marry me in the end. After all, I am a divorced woman with a child.”
“But it’s different for Bingru. She’s young, beautiful, and highly educated, so she has a chance!”
“Xueru, what do you mean by that?”
Liu Zhaoxia was utterly confused.
“I want to matchmake Yang and Bingru!”
Wang Xueru did not conceal her intentions, speaking them aloud.
“Ah?”
Liu Zhaoxia and Wang Changsheng were equally astonished.
They were traditional thinkers and were profoundly shocked by Wang Xueru’s words.
The niece intending to give her boyfriend to their daughter?
That must be what she meant, right??
Both exchanged glances, their eyes filled with questioning.
Two conservative minds naturally couldn’t think of the word “sharing.”
“Xueru, you’d really give up someone as good as Yang?”
After a brief pause, Liu Zhaoxia asked with a frown.
“Of course!”
“Why let the water flow into someone else’s field when Bingru is not an outsider?”
Wang Xueru nodded solemnly; she naturally didn’t mention anything about sharing.
While the sharing economy is quite prevalent today, with shared bicycles and shared power banks, the idea of sharing a boyfriend still seemed a bit too progressive.
“This…”
Liu Zhaoxia looked at the man on the bed and then at her daughter. She had been to Wang Xueru’s residence, and that 300 square meter mansion had left a deep impression on her, naturally invoking envy.
After all, everyone wants a better life.
If her daughter could also live in such a mansion, they, the old couple, would benefit as well.
So if her niece Wang Xueru had this attitude and her daughter didn’t object, Liu Zhaoxia felt she might be able to accept it.
“Aunt, this is not the time for this conversation; I just wanted to let you know my stance,” said Wang Xueru, who brought up the matter to set the stage. She then changed the subject, “I suggest transferring Uncle to a big hospital in Jiangcheng. The medical conditions are much better there, and he would recover faster.”
