Chapter 2278: God’s Gift

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief after Liu Haodong left. She looked at the bank card in her hand, hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't bear to buy anything for herself. Instead, she directly transferred the money to her parents in her hometown.

Zhao Shucheng saw Yan Ruyu coming back and asked with a smile, "You helped Liu Haodong so much, but he didn't thank you at all?"

"I said, what's wrong?"

Yan Ruyu became a little nervous. She didn't know whether Zhao Shucheng had guessed something or seen something, but she didn't dare to directly admit what she had done before.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how he thanks you. It's just some money or gifts. But Xiaoyan, I want to tell you that no one will be nice to you for no reason. All the gifts from heaven in fate are marked with a price."

Yan Ruyu forced a smile and said, "Shucheng, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Whether you understand or not, I'm just telling you that life has its ups and downs. More often than not, there are inexplicable fates and gains. When you gain something, you lose something very important to yourself. Fate has already set a price for us, but we think everything is free of charge."

  Yan Ruyu suddenly became a little nervous. She knew that Zhao Shucheng was trying to trick her, and hesitated for a moment whether she should tell Zhao Shucheng the truth. But the money had already been transferred to her parents, and she had no way to return it to Liu Haodong. Would Zhao Shucheng break up with her if he knew?

"Shucheng, I, I..."

Zhao Shucheng put his finger on Yan Ruyu's lips and said, "Forget it this time, but don't do it again. I'll just accept Liu Haodong's gift or money this time, and treat it as the interest on the loan. But Xiaoyan, you have to remember that what I give you is yours, and what others give you is what you have to pay for."

Yan Ruyu was so moved that after returning home, she was extremely enthusiastic towards Zhao Shucheng, making Zhao Shucheng feel the long-lost happiness.

The next day.

Chen Yaqi came to Shen Xiaofang's parents' house early in the morning with his things in his hands, knocked on the door and shouted, "Uncle, Auntie, open the door!"

Mother Shen looked at Father Shen who was expressionless, went to open the door herself, and said, "Why are you yelling so loudly so early in the morning? You have no manners at all."

Chen Yaqi followed Mother Shen into the house and said to Father Shen, "Good morning, uncle!"

"You're here for the early shift so early in the morning?"

"Uncle, didn't you say that we have guests coming to our house today? So I wanted to come early and prepare all the vegetables. I bought these from the wholesale market. They are fresh and cheap."

Mother Shen took a glance and said, "Okay. Go to the kitchen and put it away!"

"Okay, uncle, eat slowly. I'll prepare some cold dishes for you to eat with them."

Chen Yaqi was about to go to the kitchen when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Auntie, who are the guests coming today?"

"Oh, you'll know in a minute!"

Chen Yaqi was not angry at all when faced with the treatment from Mr. and Mrs. Shen. He just agreed and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Mother Shen looked at Chen Yaqi who went to the kitchen, and said to Father Shen: "Old Shen, do you think you should let Yaqi leave first? Xiao Zhao and Xiao Fang are here to see us. If he's here, will Xiao Zhao think too much?"

"No need. It's just right for him to be here. Let him know the difference between himself and Xiao Zhao, and let him stop having such wishful thinking."

Zhao Shucheng also suddenly received a call from Xiaofang, saying that Mr. and Mrs. Shen asked them to go back.

Zhao Shucheng naturally had no objection. After all, he had agreed to pretend to be Shen Xiaofang's boyfriend. So after arranging the work, he drove to Shen Xiaofang's apartment, picked her up, and drove towards Shen's house.

After Shen Xiaofang sat in the car, she looked at Zhao Shucheng a little embarrassedly and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, but you still need to do more work on your parents' side. I'm fine, but it's not a good idea for Yaqi to keep hiding it like this."

"Well, I know that too, but..." Shen Xiaofang hesitated again and again but still didn't say it.

Zhao Shucheng thought it was because of Chen Yaqi's job, and said with a smile: "If your parents are concerned about Chen Yaqi's job, then Yaqi's cooking skills are not bad. You might as well let him try to apply for a job at a big hotel. If he works as a chef in a big hotel, there shouldn't be so many objections. If it's for other reasons, you should find a solution as soon as possible."

"I see!"

Shen Xiaofang agreed, but looked at Zhao Shucheng who was driving and shook her head secretly.

After Zhao Shucheng came to the Shen family, Shen's father and mother's attitude towards him was completely opposite to their attitude towards Chen Yaqi. They were extremely enthusiastic.

During the meal, the old couple picked up some food for Zhao Shucheng. One asked Zhao Shucheng to eat more, while the other said that the dish was nutritious.

"Uncle, aunt, I can do it myself!"

"We are so happy that you can come. Eat, eat. You're welcome. You're welcome!"

Chen Yaqi came out with the dishes and said, "Farewell My Concubine is here. This turtle is really strong. It will bite hard later."

Father Shen said, "Xiao Chen, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Shucheng, the general manager of the investment company."

Chen Yaqi had already seen Zhao Shucheng, but he could only pretend not to know him and said, "Hello, my name is Chen Yaqi, and I'm Xiaofang's..."

Shen's mother quickly said: "It's Xiaofang's cousin!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Shen Xiaofang with a half-smile and said, "Hello, cousin! Sit down and eat together!"

Chen Yaqi was about to sit down when he suddenly stood up again.

When Shen Xiaofang saw this, she said, "I told you to sit down, so you sit down. Why are you jumping up?"

Chen Yaqi smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing!" Then he sat down.

Zhao Shucheng saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and said with a smile: “Yaqi, your cooking skills are really good.”

"You are right. I am a second-level chef."

"Really?"

Chen Yaqi said: "Chuan Yang Lu, I am proficient in everything."

Father Shen said, "Look at what you are showing off. Zhao Shucheng is the general manager of an investment company. He has invested in the catering industry and maybe even a five-star hotel. He has seen a lot of things. I say a few good words about you, but you are really serious."

"Uncle is right, Mr. Zhao, please give me more advice." Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You're welcome. I think your cooking skills are really good. You should go to any three-star restaurant, and you should also try a five-star restaurant."

Mother Shen said: "If you like it, come often in the future, and we will be a family."

"From now on, our Xiaofang will depend entirely on you to take care of her."

"Yes, yes!"

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but look at Xiaofang and Chen Yaqi. This was so embarrassing, it was like being a minotaur in front of Chen Yaqi.

"Uncle and aunt, you're welcome. Please eat, eat!"

Although Chen Yaqi had known for a long time that Shen Xiaofang had asked Zhao Shucheng to pretend to be her boyfriend to deal with her parents, when he really sat down to eat together and saw the attitude of Shen's father and mother towards him, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhao, are you really Xiaofang's relative?"

Father Shen looked at Zhao Shucheng who was silent, and said, "Yaqi, come with me."

The two of them came to the kitchen door, and Father Shen said, "Yaqi, you've seen the situation. Xiao Zhao is Xiaofang's boyfriend, and your aunt and I are very satisfied. So if you find a suitable partner in the future, go ahead and find one. But I have to remind you of one thing. When you go in later, you must not show your face to others, so as not to make everyone embarrassed. Anyway, you should think about this matter yourself."

Chen Yaqi watched Father Shen leave, then looked at the cheerful dining scene in the living room, and suddenly felt like he was really the superfluous person.

After Zhao Shucheng finished his meal, he chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Shen for a while before saying goodbye and leaving. He still had to go back to work and pick up Yan Ruyu from get off work, so he didn't have time to continue playing the role of a good son-in-law.

Chen Yaqi saw Zhao Shucheng leaving, and Shen Xiaofang actually followed Zhao Shucheng, and he immediately felt unhappy.

Especially when Mr. and Mrs. Shen showed an attitude of not caring about others and throwing out the seasonings and pots they brought, he could no longer bear it.

"Mr. Zhao, I am not done with you. You destroyed my marriage and love. You are the third party! You, just wait and see."

Mother Shen said: "You are the third party who destroyed Xiaofang's marriage and made her unable to get married until now."

In fact, after Shen Xiaofang left with Zhao Shucheng, she suddenly became worried that her family might have had a dispute with Chen Yaqi, so she hurried back to check. Unexpectedly, she heard their quarrel.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Shen's mother said, "Am I wrong? You are still protecting this little jerk. Do you still want to be with Xiao Zhao? Look at the gifts Xiao Zhao brought these times. They are worth tens of thousands. Do you think this little jerk out there can afford them? Xiao Fang, you are back just in time. Tell this little jerk in person when you will get the marriage certificate with Xiao Zhao?"

"So you really want to sell your daughter. It seems like this family has no room for me anymore. I'm leaving now. Isn't it okay for me to leave? I can have peace and quiet after leaving!"

Just as Chen Yaqi was about to go in to take a look, he saw Shen Xiaofang coming out angrily, and hurriedly chased after her, saying:

"Xiao Fang, I know you are standing up for me. I know you are doing this for my own good. Don't be too angry. They are your parents after all. You don't need to get angry with them when you are so old..."

Shen Xiaofang said: "I'm not doing this for you."

"It's not because of me. I know you're feeling guilty, that's why you say that. As long as I'm with you every day and cook for you, it doesn't matter what happens to me."

Shen Xiaofang looked at Chen Yaqi angrily and said, "Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Chen Yaqi didn't expect Shen Xiaofang to push him away and take a taxi to leave. He quickly said, "Xiaofang, don't leave. Listen to me..."

After Shen Xiaofang left home, she suddenly didn't want to go back to her apartment, nor did she want Chen Yaqi to find her. She hesitated for a moment, called Yan Ruyu, and said that she had a quarrel with her family, and asked if she could stay at her place for two days.

When Yan Ruyu heard Shen Xiaofang's words, she hesitated for a moment and looked in the direction of the bathroom. Zhao Shucheng was taking a shower.

"Then come over. I'll send you the address. I'll tell the guard to let you in later."

When Zhao Shucheng came out, he saw Yan Ruyu frowning, and asked curiously: "Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you? You were fine when you got off work, did your family call you again?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "No, it's Xiaofang!"

"Xiao Fang? I'm going to have lunch with her at her parents' house today. After that, I'll go back to work and go home with you. What's wrong?"

"Xiaofang had a fight with her parents and ran away from home. She wants to stay here for one night."

Zhao Shucheng laughed when he heard this and said, "I thought something was bothering you, but it turns out you just want to stay overnight. Just let her come, the guest room is empty anyway."

Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes at Zhao Shucheng and said, "What are you talking about? I was thinking that when Xiaofang comes, I will accompany her. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing for her to know that we slept together."

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Soon Shen Xiaofang called Yan Ruyu again and said that she had arrived at the gate of the community, and Yan Ruyu hurried down to pick her up.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the enthusiastic Yan Ruyu and couldn't help shaking his head. At this moment, she had changed a lot from when she just graduated. Maybe this was the result of her work.

After Shen Xiaofang followed Yan Ruyu to Zhao Shucheng's house, she saw the layout and space here. Even though she was knowledgeable, she couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Yanyan, this place is really nice. I know why you moved out here. You seem to be enjoying it so much that you don't even think about coming back to the apartment to see us."

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Alas, no matter how good it is, it's not my house. I'm just staying here temporarily."

"You're still showing off to me. Even though it's not yours, it's only a matter of time before you and Brother Zhao become friends." Shen Xiaofang suddenly looked towards the bedroom with some embarrassment and said, "Yanyan, am I disturbing you by coming here so late?"

"What are you talking about? I'm staying in the guest room. We're sleeping together tonight."

"it's not good?"

"It's nothing wrong. Come with me. Look, this is my bedroom. Here is ..."

Shen Xiaofang and Yan Ruyu were exploring the guest room, but Zhao Shucheng had no intention of dealing with Shen Xiaofang. Besides, it was not a good time for him to show up now, so he just closed the door and prepared to rest.

Yan Ruyu, however, started to show off as she took Shen Xiaofang around the entire flat, looking at the scenery here and there, showing off her current achievements.

Shen Xiaofang looked at the confident Yan Ruyu and couldn't help but feel a little envious. Her change was really huge. She was completely different from the somewhat self-deprecating Yan Ruyu before.
