Chapter 36: Can’t Tell the Good from the Bad

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You don’t have to worry about that.” Sheng Jiu’s tone was indifferent. She was a woman, so why would she marry a wife? Moreover, with her height, she was considered tall among women.

“Little fool, you’re heartless. I’m concerned about you, but you don’t appreciate it. If you can’t get a wife in the future, I’ll help you find one.” He Sijun stared at Sheng Jiu’s fair and tender face and couldn’t help but want to pinch it. However, he pulled away by Sheng Jiu with one hand. Not only did He Sijun not pinch Sheng Jiu’s face, but he also received a cold glare from Shen Xiuwen.

Shen Xiuwen said, “Sheng Jiu is still young, so he’s not in a hurry to get married. You should hurry up. I’ll get Uncle He to arrange a blind date for you.”

He Sijun wailed, “Fourth Master, no!”

He Sijun was releasing wild shrieks and howls outside while Sheng Jiu was dragged into the VIP area by Shen Xiuwen.

“Fourth Brother, is He Sijun alright?” Hearing He Sijun’s crazy howling, Sheng Jiu was a little worried that he would really go crazy.

“Ignore him. Aren’t you going to pick out clothes for me? Go ahead.” Shen Xiuwen was not in the mood to care about He Sijun.

“I’ll pick. I’ll pick three sets of clothes for Fourth Brother. These are what I want to compensate you with.” Sheng Jiu quickly went to the display rack to pick out clothes.

“I don’t mind if you want to give me a few more sets.” Shen Xiuwen sat on the single-seater sofa, his clear gaze landing on Sheng Jiu’s straight and thin back. Sheng Jiu was wearing a white shirt today, and her waistline was slightly constricted, so her entire waistline could be seen clearly. She was even thinner than a woman. He reckoned that only Sheng Jiu had a figure like this.

“Fourth Brother, I suspect that you’re extorting me.” Sheng Jiu glanced at the clothes. Every piece was well-made and well-designed. It was obvious that they were made by a master. Such clothes were naturally expensive.

Shen Xiuwen’s clothes, even a tie, cost more than five digits, not to mention a complete set of clothes. They were all from high-end brands or luxury collections. Any one of them cost seven digits. He even asked her to give him a few more sets. If she gave him a few more sets, she would go bankrupt! Although Sheng Jiu did not lack money to spend, she did not want to give them to Shen Xiuwen just like that. After all, she was not his.

“Yes, you’re right. I’m extorting money from you. Isn’t it reasonable to pay 10 pieces of clothing for every piece of clothing you messed up? I’ve never done business at a loss,” Shen Xiuwen said matter-of-factly.

Sheng Jiu did not say anything else. If she negotiated with a profiteer, she would lose more and more. She might as well choose his clothes obediently.

“Sheng Jiu, why are you so close to Cheng Xinkai?” Shen Xiuwen asked faintly. Shen Xiuwen had asked someone to check Cheng Xinkai’s information. Sheng Jiu and Cheng Xinkai had never interacted before. Sheng Jiu had smashed Cheng Xinkai’s car, and that was the first time Sheng Jiu had touched Cheng Xinkai’s things. No one knew what grudge she had with Cheng Xinkai, but one thing was for sure. Cheng Xinkai was a scumbag. The Cheng Corporation had done many wicked things, and one of the biggest things was that his capable assistant, Qiao Xi, had a fire at home, and the family of three had died in a sea of fire. It was true that Cheng Xinkai had handled the aftermath, but he had also taken over everything in the Qiao family. Such a man was not even human in Shen Xiuwen’s eyes.

Therefore, Shen Xiuwen was naturally very worried about Sheng Jiu getting close to a scumbag like Cheng Xinkai. If Cheng Xinkai was the one who approached Sheng Jiu first, then he must have other motives for Sheng Jiu. However, the person who approached Sheng Jiu first was Sheng Jiu, which puzzled Shen Xiuwen.

“Fourth Brother, I accidentally smashed Cheng Xinkai’s car. I only came into contact with him because of the compensation.” Sheng Jiu’s tone was calm and expressionless. No one could tell what she was thinking.

“Sheng Jiu, do you listen to Fourth Brother?” Shen Xiuwen’s eyes darkened as he looked at Sheng Jiu coldly and sternly.

Sheng Jiu said, “Speak.”

Shen Xiuwen: “Cheng Xinkai is not a good person. If you need a friend, I can introduce someone to you. Stay away from him.” He was not a person who liked to control other people’s lives, but Sheng Jiu, this Little Fool, could not differentiate between good and bad. She could not see through people’s hearts and was easily abducted. Sheng Jiu’s face was not only attractive to women, but also to men. What if Cheng Xinkai also had designs on Sheng Jiu’s appearance?

Cheng Xinkai was not a good person. Sheng Jiu knew this better than anyone else. It was because he was not a good person that she wanted to get close to him and slowly take revenge.

“Fourth Brother, I don’t lack friends,” said Sheng Jiu.

“It’s best if you don’t lack friends. Don’t make friends randomly. You can’t tell good from bad.” Shen Xiuwen’s words hurt Sheng Jiu too much.
