Chapter 403 - "How is Third Sister related to Li Miaomiao?" (3)
“First of all, we were never that close so you can stop with that now. Secondly, what does me being wealthy have to do with you? Why wouldn’t I keep and spend them on myself?” The original owner wouldn’t be able to get herself to say that but Shu Yan didn’t feel the same way. Their relationship had always been skin-deep, err, not even that. Why did she need to loan them money?
The older cousin hrumphed. “Whatever. Who cares about your money anyway?”
“Thank you,” said Shu Yan nonchalantly.
Shu Yan ignored them after that and left with Feng Zeyu after the wedding banquet.
The next day, Shu Jianyang and Li Miaomiao were there already when Shu Yan and Feng Zeyu went downstairs to have breakfast.
Li Miaomiao, with her regular makeup, really looked like someone that Shu Yan knew but she couldn’t recall who it was.
“You had a long day yesterday. Don’t you want to sleep in a little?” Shu Yan teased them.
“It’s fine. I am a morning person.” Li Miaomiao smiled with girlish charm and lowered her head shyly.
All of a sudden, Shu Yan recalled who Li Miaomiao reminded her of. She looked a lot like Li Jiaojiao. Their eyes and brows were almost identical. Her nose, mouth, and face shape not so much though. Which was why it had taken Shu Yan a little while to figure that out. When she smiled and lowered her head, that reminded Shu Yan immediately of who it was.
Li Jiaojiao had a tapered face and was a little slenderer. She also had a pitiful look on her. Li Miaomiao, however, had a rounder face and looked more tender. Her eyes were clear and straight, unlike that of Li Jiaojiao. Most importantly, their names were very similar. Both of their surnames were Li and both their names were made up of two identical characters.
After breakfast, Shu Yan stopped Shu Jianyang. “Third Brother, I have never seen your company before. Give me a tour some time?” Shu Yan suggested with a smile.
“Sure. Maybe you can even give me some pointers.” Shu Jianyang smiled and said, “Why not today?”
“There’s no rush. This is the first day after your wedding. You should go and enjoy yourselfs.” Shu Yan wasn’t that dense.
“It’s fine. I see your Third Brother every day. It is not going to make that much difference,” said Li Miaomiao in a friendly manner.
“She’s is right. You two will be leaving in a couple of days. Come tour my company now and you can give me some suggestions.”
Shu Jianyang already found out that Shu Yan had her own company but had no idea the scale of it. It sounded decent from the way she talked about it.
Shu Jianyang’s company was located at the busiest area in City Xi and he owned an entire floor. Half of the offices were still empty but he did not rent them out. He said he was saving them for future use. It was obvious that he was an ambitious one.
“Well? Not bad, right?” as Shu Jianyang proudly as he brought Shu Yan back to the office and sat down on his chair behind his desk.
“Not bad.” Shu Yan was surprised at how fast Shu Jianyang’s company has grown. “I heard that you had your mind set on a piece of land. Where is it at?”
“By Jianghe Road. You have any recollection of it?”
Jianghe Road? Shu Yan searched her memory. That was the same Jianghe Road in her world? That was definitely a very expensive location in the future. She recalled a relative buying a 2-bedroom apartment there and spent close to 3 million yuan. And that was back in 2012. Its value had doubled by 2019.
“I know Jianghe Road. That is a good area.” Third Brother had good eyes. “It’s not cheap, is it?”
“Don’t know yet. The auction will be held end of this month. I’ll just put in my bid for the fun of it,” said Shu Jianyang with a smile.
After some random chitchat, Shu Yan asked, “How is Third Sister related to Li Jiaojiao?”
