CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: OBSESSED WITH MONEY

At this moment, Father Ye suddenly walked over, pulled Ye Anxin’s mother away, stood in front of Ye Anxin, and said with a smiling face, "Anxin, don’t listen to your mother! Listen to your dad, I’ll tell you, if that man truly has a close relationship with you, or let’s say he likes you, you should go with him! You shouldn’t be at odds with money in this life! Even if he can’t make you shine publicly, as long as he can give you money, that’s enough! With money, we can do anything; later, you can still find a good man to marry. Anyway, as long as you don’t say it, I don’t say it, your mom won’t say it, and others won’t know!"

As soon as Father Ye finished speaking, Mother Ye became anxious and hurriedly said, "Nonsense, Anxin, don’t listen to your dad. He’s obsessed with money, and all he sees is money! You absolutely cannot sell your conscience and body for money!"

Listening to their words, Ye Anxin found it quite amusing, "Mom, what are you talking about! I won’t! I won’t be a mistress or live as a trophy wife; if I’m to be with someone, it will be as a proper wife! Don’t worry, I won’t embarrass you!"

With Ye Anxin’s assurance, Mother Ye finally relaxed a bit, "With your words, I’m relieved! Mom’s just afraid that one wrong step will lead to a lifelong regret!"

Ye Anxin reassured once again, "I’ll keep myself upright!"

"Hmm!" Mother Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Listening to their conversation, Father Ye snorted disdainfully and muttered under his breath, "Poverty-stricken couples lament their fate; without money, life can’t go on. What good is virtue!"

Mother Ye glared at him, too tired to bother with him! Ye Anxin pretended not to hear, rolled up her sleeves, and started cleaning with Mother Ye.

Because the house had been vacant for so long, there was dust everywhere inside and out; although it wasn’t large, cleaning it really exhausted Ye Anxin.

Fortunately, once cleaned, the house had some semblance of a home.

There were no luxury appliances, just basic furniture: a bed, a wardrobe, a sofa, a coffee table, and an old-fashioned TV, the one with a big rear end!

By the time they finished cleaning the house thoroughly, it was already dark!

Both Ye Anxin and Mother Ye were so tired they didn’t want to move or cook, so they ordered three takeout meals.

After eating and drinking enough, Ye Anxin suggested that Father Ye and Mother Ye rest early, then packed her bag and left, preparing to go home.

As she went downstairs, since it was already late, it was pitch black outside, and Ye Anxin hadn’t noticed the business car parked around the corner. She headed straight to the main road, intending to hail a taxi home.

She hadn’t walked more than a few steps when the horn of the business car sounded.

Ye Anxin paused, stopped, and followed the sound of the horn with her gaze.

When she saw Mu Beiting’s car parked not far away, Ye Anxin was genuinely stunned for quite a while. Only when the horn kept honking did she snap back to her senses.

Ye Anxin walked over to the business car, the window slid down, and Mu Beiting’s voice sounded from inside, "Get in!"

"Oh...!" Ye Anxin responded casually, opened the door to the back seat, got in, and sat down next to Mu Beiting.

After Ye Anxin got in the car, Mu Beiting was slow to instruct the driver to start.

"Uncle, why are you here? How did you know I was here?" Ye Anxin looked at Mu Beiting, puzzled. She wouldn’t be so narcissistic as to think Mu Beiting deliberately inquired about her whereabouts! But to meet here by chance seemed a bit too coincidental! After all, this is the suburb, and the people living here are relatively low-income! A big president like Mu Beiting certainly wouldn’t come here, right?"
