“She is still young, not my girlfriend,”
Xie Yanshang narrowed his eyes, his well-defined hands clasping on the coffee table.
How outspoken his Uncle was! He really did not hesitate to spill everything, even adding fuel to the fire by making unwarranted contributions.
But the old master did not care about these details, he simply took Xie Yanshang’s words as an implicit agreement, and thus, he stated his own opinion.
“Yanshang, this girl, ordinary socializing is fine, but I do not agree with marriage!” the old master declared decisively, even raising his voice over the phone, “You have no children now, meaning there’s no heir; I was thinking of arranging a marriage for you with a Miss from a good family, but you have consistently declined. Thus, I have let you seek on your own, but if it is her, you know that the chances of a sickly underage girl getting pregnant are already quite low. If you are with her and do not have your own children, what will happen to the company when you grow old? Hand it over to outsiders?”
At this, Xie Yanshang’s expression immediately turned cold.
He had not expected his Uncle to bring his desire for power out in the open, to the point where it was almost written on his face that he wanted power, wished to seize control of the Xie Family company, and to become the ruler of the Xie Group.
Xie Yanshang had not even dated Su Zhiruan, there had been no romance between them. It was solely based on the mere fact that he was seen close to the girl that his Uncle could gossip in front of the old man.
Needless to say, if the Uncle’s issue were not resolved, there would be many more such incidents in the future.
Just for such a minor matter, Uncle had gone out of his way to bad-mouth him with great effort; what would happen in the future?
“Grandfather, it’s too early to discuss these matters now. Uncle is a bit too anxious, not having checked the facts before recklessly spreading rumors to you,”
Xie Yanshang slowly began, even letting out a small smile before continuing, “I don’t even know where Uncle got his information, claiming that I am in a relationship with her. To this day, we have only known each other for three days. As for Su Zhiruan, she’s just a young girl my mother took in out of kindness, and I merely provided some humanitarian assistance. However, Uncle’s actions have left me quite puzzled. I wonder what you think of this!”
At this, even the old master was at a loss for words for a moment.
Indeed, they had not thoroughly investigated the situation, just taking the Uncle’s diatribe at face value, not knowing how much exaggeration had been included, and he had just believed it; it was indeed a bit unreasonable.
“Anyway, it’s good that you know the truth. If you’re not together, that’s naturally for the best. If you are, then it would be best to break up soon. Previously, I thought it was best for you to decide on your own marriage, but if you indeed choose such a girl, one who cannot bear heirs, who cannot have children, then do not blame me for choosing an excellent Miss for an arranged marriage!”
The old master chuckled and then hung up the phone.
Xie Yanshang set his phone aside.
Su Zhiruan had heard the entire phone conversation and had a rough idea of the situation.
The Uncle from the Xie Family was merely a side branch.
All that he had done was purely to rise in position, not out of a genuine desire to select a good wife for Xie Yanshang as he claimed. He wanted to add insult to injury, to cause a rift between Xie Yanshang and the old master, leading the latter to believe that his grandson was rebellious, even seeking an underage girl. These were things the old master naturally would not allow,
However, given Su Zhiruan’s current position, she could not say much; she simply listened in silence and then carried on as if she knew nothing.
“How do you like it? Do you like this apartment?” Xie Yanshang asked her.
Su Zhiruan nodded, “I think it’s fine, I quite like it. Dr. Xie, how much is the rent?”
“I’m not too clear on this, just follow the market price,” Xie Yanshang said. He wasn’t there for the money, but he also did not suggest waiving the rent or offering any substantial discounts.
Although it was just a few days of acquaintance, he could tell what kind of person Su Zhiruan was.
She had a good sense of propriety and would neither take advantage nor sell herself short.
If the rent were waived, Su Zhiruan would definitely not agree to live at his place. Nor would she comfortably accept such generosity.
