CHAPTER 290: CHAPTER 260: WEDDING NIGHT

Su’s father and Su’s mother’s good intentions, Yin Shixiu would never waste...

Su Xiaomeng thought simply, the two of them spent a night out, and to be honest, they were really tired.

The skewers she ate earlier had also been digested by now.

She showered and crawled into bed, dozing off before Yin Shixiu even came out of the bathroom.

Before long, she had a dream in which Yin Shixiu, like a fierce beast, was forcefully standing over her, relentlessly seeking marriage.

The sounds she made were so embarrassing even she felt shy hearing them...

Her legs wrapped around his waist, and the pleasure hit her like night waves crashing, one after another.

It was an overwhelming force that nearly drowned her.

The next morning, the soreness all over reminded her of everything that happened in that half-awake state last night...

"Yin Shixiu! You old pervert!!"

After returning to her room, Guo Tong couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Since arriving in Bali last night, checking into this top-notch luxury hotel, and attending Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng’s wedding during the day...

She was twenty-four this year, and there were also friends and classmates who were married. She grew up in Shanghai, a city so bustling it can dazzle the eyes.

Moreover, she lived in the city center.

The weddings she attended were relatively luxurious and classy.

The most luxurious and classy one that made her, with her high pride, feel envious was her college roommate’s wedding held at the Peace Hotel.

Because the groom’s family was wealthy and came from a prestigious family, those coming and going at the wedding were all people from high society with elegant manners.

Guo Tong always had high aspirations. She was beautiful, had a good figure, her academic performance wasn’t top-notch but was considered above average. After graduating, she smoothly got into a bank.

With her outstanding appearance, she navigated her work in the bank with ease.

It’s just...

She was unwilling, unwilling for her family to be so ordinary and mundane.

Her mother was a bank employee, her father a taxi driver, and her biological parents were just workers.

When she was in her teens, three generations of her family squeezed into one of those old houses with just a few dozen square meters, with not even a partition for the toilet.

Later, with the city center’s redevelopment, they finally got an apartment.

But she was not satisfied with this improvement in living conditions; she wanted a higher and broader world.

She didn’t want to keep fighting, overtly and covertly, with narrow-minded colleagues at the bank for a bit of performance.

She felt she had the ability; she just lacked connections, lacked relationships, and lacked opportunities.

Just today, the wedding she attended was more stunning than any other she’d been to before, opening her eyes and making her heart surge.

Rich people, powerful people, were walking past her; she just needed to reach out and she could grasp one.

That’s exactly what she thought; she wouldn’t miss, she would definitely hit the mark.

After all...

If someone like Su Xiaomeng could catch a big fish, how could she not?

She had never met Su Xiaomeng before today. From her mother, she only knew she was quite a cute girl.

After looking carefully today, she really was so ordinary that you couldn’t pick her out from a crowd.

Yet, such an ordinary Su Xiaomeng married a man so striking in appearance and character that people couldn’t take their eyes off him.

Guo Tong had been pursued by many men, those who regarded her as a goddess could line an entire street.

Yin Shixiu...was top-notch.

The next morning, Guo Tong knocked on her parents’ door.

Without beating around the bush, she directly stated her request...

"I don’t want to continue working at the bank. I want to develop in Beijing."

"Develop in Beijing?"

Su Jifang was taken aback, "Tongtong, why do you suddenly want to change jobs and go to Beijing?"

"I don’t want to be just a bank employee my whole life. I have abilities, I just don’t have opportunities."

Su Jifang and her husband Guo Jianping exchanged glances, somewhat speechless, and after a while, Su Jifang tentatively asked, "Tongtong, have you found a new job in Beijing, or..."

"I want to work at Su Xiaomeng’s husband’s company."

Su Jifang’s mouth slightly opened, looking at her daughter with a bit of incomprehension.

"Nonsense!"

At that time, Guo Jianping sternly reprimanded, slamming the table.

"I’m not being reckless. I thought about it all night. Why can’t I go to Beijing for better opportunities? After graduation, many classmates less capable than me got much better jobs than me thanks to their family connections."

"Things that others can get easily, I have to put in several times the effort. Mom, Dad, have you never wondered why?"

"Tongtong, I know, your father and I couldn’t help with your work, but isn’t working at the bank pretty good... even if you go to Beijing..."

"Pretty good, pretty good? What’s so good about it?! I’m only twenty-four! Why can’t I have some ambitions? I want a better job, to earn more money, not to have to cater to others’ moods, not to compete with others for a bit of performance!"

"But——"

"Now the opportunity is right in front of me, Mom. I haven’t asked you for anything since I was little. You asked me to be your daughter, but when it comes to critical times, you don’t help me. What kind of daughter is that?"

"Guo Tong! How can you talk to your mother like that!"

Guo Jianping glared at Guo Tong.

Guo Tong looked at Guo Jianping with reddened eyes.

Su Jifang moved her lips and, after a long pause, softly said, "What company does Su Xiaomeng’s husband run? Are you suitable? Besides... our family doesn’t really have a deep connection with Su Xiaomeng’s family. Xiaomeng just married into that family not long ago, and now——"

"Mom! In the end, you just don’t want to help me!"

"I... girl, how can you say that, don’t you have a conscience?"

Su Jifang furrowed her brows, a touch of sadness crossing her eyes.

"Mom..."

Guo Tong sat down next to Su Jifang, held her hand, and said anxiously, "Su Xiaomeng’s husband is the CEO of Yin Group. Yin Group is one of the world’s top 100 companies. As long as you get a job there, you’ll be well-off wherever you go in the future!"

"Mom, please talk to Uncle, he won’t disregard it."

Su Jifang was an ordinary person, but even an average person could see that the family Su Xiaomeng married into was not only significant but perhaps beyond their imagination.

Even if she truly asked her brother for her daughter’s sake, to have her brother ask their grandson-in-law...

It would probably just make things difficult for her brother.

Seeing Su Jifang still hesitating, Guo Tong lost patience, jumped up irritably, "How have you ever helped me since I was young?! Now I’m just making a small request, and you all refuse! Being parents like you, don’t you feel ashamed?"

"Slap!"

Guo Jianping immediately slapped Guo Tong across the face, the sound was loud enough to make hearts tremble.

Su Jifang, heartaching for her daughter, immediately stood up to shield her daughter behind her, "Jianping, don’t hit!"

"Such a daughter, raised her to this age without gratitude, instead says such ungrateful words!"

"You can just kill me, just kill me!"

"You——"

"Enough! Isn’t it just asking my brother for a favor? I’ll go and talk to him, won’t I?"

Su Jifang sighed.

Guo Tong sniffled...

"But Tongtong, Mom must make it clear to you, Xiaomeng didn’t marry a simple family, even if they are wealthy, it has nothing to do with us."

"Mom seldom returned to Chengdu after marrying into the Guo Family. If not for my brother keeping in mind, we wouldn’t have attended the wedding. Our families were not that close..."

"Mom, I understand what you mean. You mean not to bother Su Xiaomeng, right?"

Su Jifang nodded, "I will talk to your Uncle, but if your Uncle truly finds it difficult, let it go, alright?"

"Mom, as long as you talk to Uncle properly, he will definitely help."

No one knew where Guo Tong got such confidence, and indeed, as Guo Tong said, after Su Jifang spoke to Su Jikang about it...

Su Jikang, although a bit troubled, agreed to bring it up.

Of course, Grandpa Su was not foolish, he wouldn’t go to ask the grandson-in-law himself, but instead, called over Su Chengji to bring it up.

After discussing with Bai Sixian, Bai Sixian did not think it was a big deal.

They said there was no issue, whether to hire Guo Tong was Yin Shixiu’s decision.

So without much thought, they called Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng over, bringing up Guo Tong’s wish to work at Yin Shixiu’s company...

Yin Shixiu was rather casual, not taking it to heart at all, just looked at Su Xiaomeng, and said, "Since she’s Meng Meng’s cousin, let’s hear what Meng Meng has to say."

Su Xiaomeng hadn’t expected her cousin to have such an idea.

With one sentence, Yin Shixiu had thrown the problem onto her...

This, this...isn’t Uncle a bit too irresponsible here?

Su Xiaomeng couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Yin Shixiu.

Yin Shixiu didn’t look at her, just reached out to pour some water into the teacups for his parents.

Su Chengji looked at Su Xiaomeng, and quickly said, "Daughter, what do you think? If you don’t think it’s suitable, Dad can just go and tell your great-aunt himself later."

"Well, Great Aunt and Grandpa have always had a good relationship since you were little. After so many years apart, it’s rare to see each other, if we don’t help when Great Aunt asks, I’m afraid there would be some hard feelings between Grandpa and Great Aunt..."

Su Xiaomeng rubbed her head, mumbling as she spoke.

These words also hinted that Su Xiaomeng didn’t want to agree to it.

That was a bit unexpected for Su’s mother.

"Your Grandpa and Great Aunt are both reasonable people, this kind of thing, helping is a kindness, not helping is the norm, nothing to feel bad about."

Su’s mother said this, but if she were in the same position, she too would instinctively choose not to help. Asking the son-in-law was one thing, but in Shixiu and Xiaomeng’s position, whether to agree or not was another matter.

She had not interacted with Guo Tong before, and when she did see her yesterday, it was just a few hurried encounters and exchanged a couple of greetings.

That girl, with impeccable looks and temperament, also dealt with people politely and appropriately.
