The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 179 Gift
"Sister Xixi."

After finishing her meal, Wen Xiaoyue sat in the living room for more than an hour. Seeing that Ruan Xi hadn't come out, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She went over and knocked on the door and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Yuzhen, who was sitting on the sofa and sending messages, said to her, "She may be feeling unwell. Let her rest for a while and don't disturb her."

"My period is here?" Wen Xiaoyue muttered, "This shouldn't happen."

She knocked on the door again, raising her voice a little, "Sister Xixi——"

Zhang Yuzhen added, "Maybe he fell asleep."

Of course she knew what was going on. Although she felt sorry, she believed that a short pain was better than a long one. Doing this would be better for everyone.

In her opinion, although Ruan Xi is sensible, she is still young and has no idea what she wants. Her feelings towards her son are probably like those of a young girl in love, which is a beautiful feeling, but also very childish.

This girl is so outstanding. She is beautiful, has good grades, and was admitted to Zhongda University. She has a bright future. When she arrives at university, she will meet many outstanding peers.

By then, will she still look down on her own son?
In today's society, a five-year age difference is already a huge generation gap. She and Zhong Yun are eleven years apart, plus the difference in education, do they have anything in common?
No matter from which aspect you look at it, she and Zhong Yun are not a match. Even if they are together now, it will end in a few years.

Zhong Yun will be thirty soon and he can’t afford to delay.

In comparison, Meng Jiaen, who has graduated from university, entered society and has a job, is more suitable for Zhong Yun.

While the two of you are not together yet, cut off her feelings first. Although it will be painful for a while, it is better than dragging it on for a few years, leaving both of you hurt.

Shi Xiuya is a lesson learned.

She loved her son so much at that time that she took the initiative to go to a small city in another province to find a job for him. She was so sincere, but what was the result?

Just a few years ago, when she was quarreling, she said, "I was blinded by lard at that time. I was just out of my mind at that time, so I fell in love with you."

No matter how much you like someone, time will pass. As time goes by, passion fades and you have to face the cruel reality.

The reality is whether all conditions match.

In fact, Zhang Yuzhen feels that her son is marrying above his station by being with Meng Jiaen, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

However, compared to Ruan Xi, who just entered college, she is more optimistic about Meng Jiaen.

These thoughts flashed through Zhang Yuzhen's mind.

At this time, the door opened from the inside and Ruan Xi walked out, but her face looked a little pale.

Wen Xiaoyue asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Ruan Xi shook her head. "I've been lying down for a while, and I feel much better. I'll go take a shower first."

"Are you hungry? I'll order some takeout for you."

"No, I'll just eat an apple later."

Zhang Yuzhen looked at her and there was no sign of anything unusual in her expression. She felt a little relieved and a little distressed. This girl was stronger than she had imagined.

When Ruan Xi came out of the shower, Zhang Yuzhen had already peeled an apple and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Auntie." She took it politely and started eating.

"You're welcome."

……

It was already eleven o'clock when Zhong Yun returned home. He opened the door and saw that the lights in the living room were still on, but no one was there. They must have gone back to their rooms to sleep.

There was still light coming through the gap under Ruan Xi's door, so she and Xiao Yue should not have gone to bed yet.

Tonight, Xiaoyue can only sleep in the same room with Ruanxi. I don’t know if they will feel uncomfortable.

When Ruan Xi first lived in Xiaoyue's house, she was not used to sleeping in the same room with others.

So, when he moved in, Ruan Xi and Xiao Yue each slept in a room, and he slept on the sofa.

There was no choice tonight, they could only squeeze together.

After washing up, Zhong Yun turned off the lights and lay on the sofa, facing Ruan Xi's room.

The neighborhood is very quiet. I can vaguely hear the sound of chatting coming from the room, but it is not clear.

After a while, the sound of chatting died down, and I saw the light under her door go out.

He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

……

I slept till dawn and the alarm rang at 6:30.

Zhong Yun did not go for a morning run today. He took a day off to combine work and rest.

The others woke up soon, had breakfast, and went out together.

He had to send Xiaoyue back to school first, then Ruan Xi, and finally send his mother to the hospital.

"Why did you change the car?"

Wen Xiaoyue saw that Zhong Yun was now driving a BMW and asked.

"Yeah." She looked around the car and made a comment, "This car looks better than the previous one."

"Get in the car."

Zhong Yun asked them to get in the car.

Xiaoyue’s school is not far away, only a dozen minutes’ drive away. After watching her enter the school gate, Zhong Yun started the car and headed for Sun Yat-sen University.

He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Ruan Xi sitting in the back with her head down and not saying anything. He asked, "How did you sleep last night when you slept with Xiaoyue?"

Ruan Xi held the phone in her hand and said, "It's OK."

"When Xiaoyue was little, she was restless when she slept and always kicked the quilt. My sister said she tossed all over the bed when she slept."

"Last night was fine."

Her answers were brief and deliberately distant.

Seeing her like this, Zhong Yun stopped talking and concentrated on driving, sending her to the school gate.

……

"Mom, I have to go to work at the company today. If you have anything, just call me."

Zhong Yun said after sending his mother to the hospital.

Zhang Yuzhen naturally had no objection and said, "I'll just stay here with your dad, you can go back to work without any worries."

She urged him to return to the company last week. There was no need to stay with him in the hospital. He was not sick, he was just undergoing rehabilitation treatment.

"Then I'm leaving. I'll pick you up after get off work."

"Row."

In fact, Xia Siyin did not urge him, but he felt that it was inappropriate to keep asking for leave, so he took the initiative to go back to work.

At this time, Xia Siyin had already gone to the company, so he went directly to the company.

"Brother Yun, you are finally back."

Chaozi was very happy when he saw him, "You were away these few days, I missed you so much."

When they arrived at the reception room that was reserved for Zhong Yun, he followed and whispered, "These days, there are rumors that you are going to resign."

"Why would I quit my job for no reason?"

"That's good." Chaozi was obviously relieved and said, "You've asked for leave several times in the past month. Did something happen at home? If there is anything, just let me know."

"It's no big deal, thanks."

Chaozi said, "By the way, Brother Yun, your birthday is coming soon, what gift do you want? I'll give you one."

Zhong Yun said, "I understand. You just got married, and you will have many expenses in the future, so you should save the money."

"That won't work. Can't I afford a birthday present?"

"How about this, I've been jogging in the morning recently, you can give me a pair of knee pads, don't buy them too expensive."

"it is good."

……

It was almost noon, and Zhong Yun was about to go upstairs to find Xia Siyin, when suddenly a colleague said, "Brother Yun, your birthday is on Friday. We all discussed it and thought about celebrating it for you on that day. What do you think?"

"Thanks, but I have an appointment that day. Forget about celebrating, and you don't have to give me a gift. I appreciate your kindness." Zhong Yun politely declined their kindness.

He has always been most afraid of this kind of social engagements.

Besides, what's there to celebrate on a birthday?

Zhong Yun went upstairs and came to Xia Siyin's office.

Yao Man said enthusiastically, "Brother Yun, just go in directly."

"Thanks."

He knocked on the door first before pushing it open and walking in.

Xia Siyin put down the documents in her hand and asked, "How is uncle's recovery going?"

"Very good. Thank you, Mr. Xia, for helping my dad find such a good team of experts. Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Xia Siyin paused and said, "Please make time for it on Friday."

Friday is my birthday, isn't it?
Zhong Yun couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, he shouldn't have had any illusions. Even Chaozi and those colleagues remembered his birthday, not to mention Xia Siyin and Meng Jiaen.

He had a feeling that his birthday would be very busy.
