Chapter 487
In the future, people will say they really hate people supporting their brother siblings without boundaries. No woman wanted the man she was going to spend her life with to treat his own sister too well, right? She couldn’t just be a little girl with no sense of boundaries.
However, when Su Hongchen heard what she said, he gave a cold laugh, “Su Xiaoxiao, stop giving me these grand excuses. I’m your brother. The money I earn, before I get married, it’s all mine. I can use it however I want. If my future partner questions how I use my money before I’m married, then I don’t even want to marry her.”
“Right now it’s just a suggestion, but it might turn into a rule later. You’re not getting any younger; it’s time to get married. That way, you can have two kids, and our children will have each other for support in the future,” Su Xiaoxiao seriously reminded him.
Seeing her brother look so indifferent, she immediately turned to their father to complain. “Dad, hurry up and talk some sense into him. He’s always focused on work, but he’s not paying attention to his private life! If the policy changes one day, and they require men to get married at 30 and women at 26 or 27, and only allow one child, our family will be awfully quiet.”
When Su Father heard this, he immediately agreed, pulling Su Hongchen aside. “You should call the team and ask for a few more days off. You’ve been so busy with work, you’ve had no rest. Take a break and let your mom and I find you a matchmaker.”
Su Hongchen felt his scalp tingle. He wanted to strangle his pesky sister. He really appreciated her help!
Just to avoid spending money on her, she had managed to push him into this situation.
But Su Father insisted, and Su Hongchen had no choice but to go along with it, agreeing to attend a few matchmaking events in the coming days.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed Jiang Yexun’s hand and sneaked back to her room.
Once the door was closed, she tiptoed and joyfully flew into Jiang Yexun’s arms, like a happy little bird.
“Do you know how much the leader gave me this time?” Su Xiaoxiao leaned back, her smile mischievous, like a little fox who’d just stolen a treat.
Jiang Yexun looked down at her, his eyes full of affection and amusement.
“How much? I’m guessing it wasn’t a small amount.”
“Exactly! They gave me five thousand! My dad said the furnace factory would give me a thousand as well. How about we use this money to buy two small houses? Right around here. That way, when my parents pass by after work, they’ll see them. It’ll also be easy to collect rent,” Su Xiaoxiao swayed her head and sweetly suggested.
In the future, this steel would bring Jiang Yexun at least several hundred billion in profits, along with plenty of gratitude and support. But this time, she used it all ahead of schedule.
Though it seemed like she would still receive support from higher-ups in the future, there would be a gap in between, so the effect would be a little diminished.
At least she had to make sure Jiang Yexun didn’t lose too much in terms of money.
The properties in other parts of the city were hard to say, but the land around their home would definitely be worth tens of billions in the next twenty years, if not more.
When the time came, she could sell the houses and use the money to invest in something that could easily bring back several hundred billion.
“Alright! I also got the money for the whitening pills and hydrating pills from the black market. But I bought some government bonds with it in a few banks. Next time I go to distribute, I’ll leave the money there and use it to buy a few small buildings,” Jiang Yexun gently followed Su Xiaoxiao’s idea, speaking with warmth.
Although he believed that doing business in real industries was the best way to contribute to the country, they hadn’t been in Shanghai these past few years. Leaving the property to his parents so they could collect some rent also counted as him fulfilling his filial duty for Xiaoxiao.
If it weren’t for his situation with his mother, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have had to return to the countryside.
Jiang Yexun thought about it. He wanted his little wife to never have to suffer after marrying him, but it was ironically him who was holding her back from living a good life in the big city.
“I’m sorry.” He gently raised his hand and stroked her head, his voice full of tenderness and regret.
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why he was suddenly apologizing on such a good day.
“It’s just that it hurts to see you, who could stay with your parents and live a comfortable life, end up back in the countryside again after only two months. And the countryside still has my father and his troublesome family.” Jiang Yexun lowered his head and pressed his forehead to hers, feeling deeply sorry.
“We’ve only had these two years to rest. After that, we’ll need to focus on the college exams, moving, and then getting down to business,” Su Xiaoxiao pouted and gave him a kiss on the lips.
And during these two years, they would also need to find a way to deal with that mysterious behind-the-scenes figure. This time, before that person gained power and influence, they needed to expose them.
Thirty years from now, the new steel formula might not be enough to challenge that person. But if they moved thirty years ahead, what could they do?
Su Xiaoxiao thought about this and a wicked smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yexun felt like she was a little cub who had just learned to hunt. There was something cute yet slightly fierce about it that made him want to play with her a bit.
Jiang Yexun wasn’t someone who would suffer in silence. Before, when he had been secretly in love with his little wife, he had hesitated for a while, but now she was his.
Such a delicious temptation right in front of him—if he could resist, it would be against nature.
His throat tightened, and before Su Xiaoxiao realized what was happening, he suddenly scooped her up in his arms, lifting her effortlessly.
“What are you doing? We were talking so well just now! Put me down!” Su Xiaoxiao kicked her legs, trying to push him away, but her soft resistance had no effect, and it only made Jiang Yexun more heated.
“Right, today is a good day. We should definitely do something fun to celebrate,” Jiang Yexun lowered his voice deliberately and whispered in her ear, his tone filled with temptation.
