"Laurel Goddess, the name sounds nice. Is there a story behind it?"
Arriving at the destination, Yuan Xudong led Su Cheng, Ye Qiao, Zhao Ruoxi, and Liu Mengtian to the Laurel Goddess, which was moored not far away. Looking at the brightly lit luxury yacht, the four girls suddenly started chattering and surrounded Yuan Xudong.
Asking questions here and there.
"Okay, if you have any questions, we'll discuss them during dinner. Let's get on the boat first, okay?"
"Okay~~"
The four girls cheered and ran to the Laurel Goddess not far away to start boarding. Seeing Yuan Xudong lagging slowly behind, Su Cheng ran back from the front, pulling him while trotting towards the yacht.
He whispered sheepishly:
"Stingy guy, can you lend me some money?"
Afraid that Yuan Xudong would have any bad misunderstandings about her, Su Cheng quickly explained:
"I don't have much money with me. I'm afraid I won't have enough money for a treat tonight, and I also have to pay my rent. Can you lend me a little first, and I'll pay it back to you when the bonus from Star Entertainment comes out, okay?"
Stopping, Yuan Xudong took Su Cheng's hands and said calmly:
"The stock market has plummeted recently. I'm losing nine figures every day on my account, and I'm almost running out of money for food. When your competition bonus comes out, can you...can you lend me some money first?"
"ah?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong lost so much money, with hundreds of millions of losses on his books every day, and almost no money for food, Su Cheng couldn't help but worry:
"My bonus is only 50,000 yuan, is it enough?"
"enough!"
Yuan Xudong took the initiative to hug Su Cheng's waist and said with a smile:
"The stock market crash is only temporary. It will be fine in two days. When I make money, I will pay you back the 50,000 yuan I lent you, okay?"
"No!"
Holding Yuan Xudong's chest and stroking his back with both hands, Su Cheng closed her eyes slightly and murmured in a low voice:
"I heard people say that stock trading is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may lose everything. Please stop trading in stocks in the future, okay?"
"fool!"
Yuan Xudong leaned into Su Cheng's ear and laughed softly:
"If I really go bankrupt, will you still be willing to follow me?"
"Of course I do!"
Su Cheng narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"I'm not your girlfriend just for your money. If you really go bankrupt, then I'll support you. I'll be a big star and you'll be my makeup artist. Can we be together every day?"
"Then I won't be the pretty boy you raised?"
"What's wrong with the pretty boy?"
He hit Yuan Xudong from behind, Su Cheng blushed slightly and said:
"Aren't you willing to be my pretty boy?"
"Of course I do!"
Holding Su Cheng's waist with his left hand and lifting her chin with his right hand, Yuan Xudong looked into her eyes and smiled:
"Then how much pocket money do you give me every month?"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Su Cheng whispered against his chest:
"I'll leave all my money to you. Just don't sell me. Everything else is up to you!"
"that is real good?"
Yuan Xudong leaned into Su Cheng's ear and smiled evilly:
"Since you listen to me in everything, is it okay if I want you tonight?"
After a moment of silence, Su Cheng looked up at Yuan Xudong and blushed:
"If you really want it, I will."
Before Su Cheng could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong quickly covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"I'm lying to you. I'm worth tens of billions. It's normal for me to lose hundreds of millions and earn hundreds of millions every day. Besides, even if the company really goes bankrupt and the stocks are reduced to useless paper, I still have a house and a car.
, there are various kinds of valuable jewelry in the deposits and bank safes that can be cashed in. The yacht in front of me is also mine. It cost more than 20 million US dollars. So the bankruptcy of rich people is all fake. It is really smart.
Who among the rich people doesn’t leave a few more escape routes for themselves and their descendants just in case?”
"Yes, you are the really smart rich man, and I am the really stupid fool!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was proud and showing off, I thought that I was arrogantly saying that I wanted to support him and give him all the 50,000 yuan that I finally got. It was like a beggar on the roadside asking for the 5 yuan from his rice bowl.
As if the money was used to buy food for a millionaire, Su Cheng struggled with shame and anger:
"Hurry up and let me go. I'm just a really stupid fool. Do you think I'm particularly funny?"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, the really stupid person is me!"
Seeing Su Cheng's emotional breakdown, her tears rolling down like broken pearls, Yuan Xudong hugged her and explained with distress and remorse:
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to show off to you, just like a child showing off his toys to others. I asked you to borrow money because I want you to understand the truth. You love me and are willing to give up hard-earned money."
Give me all the 50,000 yuan bonus.
In the same way, I love you, just like you love me, and I am willing to share everything I have with you. In a sense, your fifty thousand yuan is more valuable than my five million, five thousand yuan.
More than 10,000 yuan, can you understand what I mean?"
"Understand, fifty thousand yuan is all I have, five million, fifty million is just a small part of yours, a negligible small part!"
Seeing that Su Cheng returned to normal, Yuan Xudong retorted in a low voice:
"It can't be said to be insignificant. I only get five million a year in salary at Jingyan Group, so I still care a little about it!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng wiped away her tears and said with a smile:
"How about it?"
"How about what?"
"How was my performance?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was confused, Su Cheng covered her mouth and chuckled:
"A really smart rich man, you don't really think I'm a really stupid fool, do you? You started to say that the stock market has plummeted, and you lose hundreds of millions every day, which is barely justified, but you are exaggerating when you ask me to borrow money. You
The watch you gave me is worth 88,000 yuan, do you still need to borrow 50,000 yuan from me?"
"Not bad, the acting is not bad!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong hugged Su Cheng and smiled:
"What do you think of my performance? A business elite who is captured physically and mentally by a beautiful woman full of scheming, causing his IQ to drop, like a three-year-old child. Do I have the talent to be an actor?"
"You are full of scheming!"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Su Cheng hooked his neck and mocked:
"You're a tough talker. I think you don't have the talent to be an actor, but you act as you are. You are a business elite with an IQ of only three years old. How about I call you Yuan Sansui from now on?"
"No, if you dare to call me Yuan Sansui, I will eat you!"
After glaring at the cute Su Cheng, Yuan Xudong took out his wallet from his arms, took out a bank card and handed it to Su Cheng, who looked slightly stunned, and said with a smile:
"Here you go, this is my salary card, the password is."
After taking the bank card and looking at Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng held the bank card and whispered:
"I will withdraw 10,000 yuan, and I will return it to you when the bonus from Star Entertainment is paid out. Can I return this card to you next time we meet?"
"No need to pay it back. I usually don't use my bank card. Now I pay with my mobile phone. You can keep this card for me. If you need money for anything and you can't contact me, you can use it directly!"
"But me"
"Okay, it's settled, I'm your boyfriend, can't I make the final decision on this little thing?"
"All right!"
Putting away the bank card, Su Cheng looked at Yuan Xudong, pecked him gently on the cheek, and said happily and sweetly:
"Thank you, cheapskate. Apart from my father and mother, you are the best person in the world to me!"
"fool!"
After gently scratching the tip of Su Cheng's nose, Yuan Xudong pulled her towards the yacht path:
"Let's go, Ye Qiao and the others are still waiting for us. The entertainment industry is quite complicated, like a big dye vat. There are all kinds of people in it. You and Ye Qiao don't understand anything. Everything is subject to my arrangement, okay?
?”
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Seeing that Su Cheng became obedient, Yuan Xudong touched her hair and said with a satisfied smile:
"Well, Chengcheng is so good!"
"Don't call me Chengcheng, don't touch my head!"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look and slapping his right hand away, Su Cheng pouted and muttered in a low voice:
"Are you treating me like a child?"
"Don't you like children?"
Yuan Xudong pulled Su Cheng and smiled:
"I have decided that when we two have a daughter in the future, her nickname will be Chengcheng and her eldest name will be Yuan Chengcheng. What do you think?"
"Who wants to have a daughter with you?"
"Forget it if you don't give birth. I'll look for Ye Qiao to give birth. In this case, your nickname will be Qiaoqiao and your first name will be Yuan Qiaoqiao. Isn't it easy to remember?"
"Get out, you rascal!"
Boarding the yacht, Ye Qiao, Zhao Ruoxi, and Liu Mengtian were blowing the sea breeze on the deck and chatting about the future.
Seeing Yuan Xudong pulling Su Cheng over, Ye Qiao smiled and said:
"Chengzi, Mr. Yuan, you two came so slowly, are you too busy making love with me?"
"Ye Qiao, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Ye Qiao making fun of herself and Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng quickly ran over and wanted to tickle her:
"I let you talk nonsense, I let you talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. We all saw it. You are just flirting with Mr. Yuan. Come on, come after me. If you can't catch me, I will make you mad, haha~~"
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble!"
After grabbing Su Cheng and Ye Qiao who were chasing each other, Liu Mengtian looked at Yuan Xudong who was standing aside and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yuan, there is nothing here, not even a soul is seen. What should we have for dinner?"
"I asked them to leave. Come back tomorrow morning. Everything is ready. It's in the kitchen. Come with me!"
Entering the kitchen with Su Cheng, Ye Qiao, Zhao Ruoxi, and Liu Mengtian, Yuan Xudong opened the refrigerator, pointed at the various fresh ingredients inside and said with a smile:
"Everything is here. You can make whatever you want to eat. Each of you can make a few special dishes. Whoever cooks the most delicious dishes tonight, I have a small gift for her. Come on, I will wait for you in the restaurant. Bye!"
"
"ah?"
"Mr. Yuan, how could you do this?"
"Mr. Yuan, what little gift is it, can you tell me in advance?"
"What should I do if I don't know how to cook?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong waving his hand and leaving the kitchen, the four chattering girls became quiet, looked at each other, and glanced at the refrigerator filled with fresh ingredients and fruits. Ye Qiao, who couldn't cook, rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"I'm going to make fruit salad, fruit platter, and fruit slices. You can make the other ones!"
"Ah, Ye Qiao, you are so cunning!"
Su Cheng rolled her eyes at Ye Qiao, thought for a while and said:
"Stingy guys like beef, so I'll make beef noodles, stir-fried beef, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
After taking a look at Su Cheng and Ye Qiao, thinking of the little gift Yuan Xudong mentioned, Liu Mengtian smiled and said:
"I'm ready to make a steak!"
After saying that, she looked at Zhao Ruoxi, who rarely spoke, and smiled:
"Ruoxi, what are you going to do?"
After taking a look at Liu Mengtian, Su Cheng and Ye Qiao beside her, Zhao Ruoxi smiled and said:
"I am from Huaiyang, my hometown. I learned how to cook Huaiyang dishes from my mother, so I will just make a few of the better Huaiyang dishes!"
After a brief exchange, the four girls started cooking. Liu Mengtian glanced at the clumsy Ye Qiao and the skillful Zhao Ruoxi, then looked at Su Cheng who was cutting beef and tried:
"Chengzi, this yacht is so luxurious, it must cost a lot of money. Mr. Yuan doesn't really intend to ask you to pay for it, right?"
“What happened to me paying?”
Su Cheng glanced at Liu Mengtian and smiled slightly:
"As promised, I'll treat you, Tiantian, don't worry, this yacht belongs to a stingy guy, and we're the ones doing the cooking. I can only pay for the food, but it won't cost much!"
"Yeah?"
Glancing at the luxuriously decorated yacht, Liu Mengtian's eyes flashed with envy, but she sighed calmly:
"It's different for rich people. Ordinary people spend their whole lives just buying houses and cars. A house worth several million and a car worth hundreds of thousands are considered very good. But compared with this yacht, it feels like ordinary people like us
People are so pitiful. We were born in Rome, and we were born to work as cattle or horses for the rich."
"That's you, that's not what I meant!"
Before Su Cheng could speak, Ye Qiao glanced at Liu Mengtian and retorted:
"You can eat as much as you have the ability. Pursuing these unrealistic things is just vanity and asking for trouble. If someone has money, it is earned by other people, or his parents, grandparents, your father.
Mom doesn’t spend the money she earns on you?
When you have your own children in the future, won’t you spend the money you earn on them? If you envy others’ money, it’s better to work hard for yourself. You can’t be a rich second generation, but you can be a rich second generation!”
After that, before Liu Mengtian could speak, Ye Qiao added another sentence:
"What I mean is that you can work hard to make money, become the first generation of rich yourself, and let your children become the second generation of rich people. I don't want you to marry a rich man and become the mother of the second generation of rich people."
"How can it be so easy to make money?"
Rolling her eyes at Ye Qiao, Liu Mengtian sighed and said:
"I'm not a graduate of a prestigious university, and I don't have any special skills. How can I make a lot of money?"
Seeing Liu Mengtian sighing, Ye Qiao couldn't help but burst into laughter and said:
"Sleep well at night, you will have everything in your dreams!"
"you"
Seeing that Liu Mengtian and Ye Qiao were about to quarrel again, Su Cheng quickly smoothed things over and said:
"Okay, you two should stop arguing and focus on cooking. Don't talk. Do you hear me?"
"I heard you, Mrs. Yuan!"
"Ye Qiao, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Ye Qiao call herself Mrs. Yuan, Su Cheng couldn't help but blush and said:
"What Mrs. Yuan? It sounds so ugly, okay?"
"When you marry Mr. Yuan, don't you become Mrs. Yuan?"
Seeing Su Cheng and Ye Qiao getting along, Liu Mengtian's eyes flashed with sadness and jealousy. Before meeting Ye Qiao, she and Su Cheng were fighting like this and talking about everything. After meeting Ye Qiao, she and Ye Qiao
Su Cheng gradually became distant and no longer stayed together every day and were as close as before. Ye Qiao took her place next to Su Cheng.
Time passed, and after about half an hour, each of their specialty dishes was almost ready. Su Cheng tasted the beef noodles she made and frowned slightly:
"It's a little salty, too much salt."
"Too much salt?"
Rolling his eyes, Ye Qiao shook Su Cheng's arm and said:
"If you put in a little more, how about we straighten Yuan Xudong?"
"That's not good?"
"What's wrong?"
Thinking of Yuan Xudong taking away her first kiss, Ye Qiao, who still had a grudge in her heart, held Su Cheng's arm and begged:
"Chengzi, please, give him a slap and let him know that we are not easy to bully. Look at him sitting there doing nothing. Why do you want us to prepare dishes and serve them to him?"
After that, she glanced at Liu Mengtian's steak. Knowing what she wanted to do, Liu Mengtian quickly protected her steak and said cautiously:
"I still want to eat, so I won't accompany you!"
Looking past Liu Mengtian, Ye Qiao eagerly took a look at Zhao Ruoxi's squirrel fish. Before she could speak, Zhao Ruoxi directly refused:
"I don't think this is good. Mr. Yuan provides the venue and ingredients. Shouldn't we cook a few dishes?"
After turning around in a circle, Ye Qiao could only look at Su Cheng pitifully and cry:
"Chengzi, please take pity on me. I will wear a grass ring in my next life to repay you with death!"
"Okay, don't go too far!"
Seeing Ye Qiao pleading with herself so pitifully, Su Cheng softened her heart and said:
"It's already very salty. Just add a little more salt."
"I know, don't worry!"
With Su Cheng's consent, Ye Qiao put another tablespoon of fine salt into the noodle soup, thinking about how she could laugh at Yuan Xudong when he was embarrassed and make him regret what he had done.
After everything was prepared, the dishes were brought into the restaurant. Yuan Xudong sat at the main seat, Su Cheng and Ye Qiao sat on his right, Liu Mengtian and Zhao Ruoxi sat on his left, and Ye Qiao kicked Su under the table.
orange.
After glancing at Ye Qiao, Su Cheng hesitated for a moment before serving Yuan Xudong a small bowl of noodles and said with a smile:
"Cheapskate, these are the noodles I made. How do you like them?"
"Okay, thank you Orange!"
After taking the noodles and placing them on the table, Yuan Xudong stood up from the chair, pulled Su Cheng, who was confused, to sit down at the main seat and said softly:
"Wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
"you"
Before Su Cheng could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong turned around and left the restaurant. The four girls looked at each other, wondering what he was going to do. Zhao Ruoxi said with some worry:
"Did Mr. Yuan discover something?"
After that, she glanced at Su Cheng and Ye Qiao and said:
"Su Cheng, Ye Qiao, you two stop playing around and have a nice dinner together. What if Mr. Yuan gets angry?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Ye Qiao rolled her eyes at Zhao Ruoxi and said carelessly:
"He's a big man, but he only has this much magnanimity?"
"But."
"Stop talking, Mr. Yuan is back!"
Hearing Liu Mengtian's reminder, the scene suddenly became quiet, and a familiar birthday song sounded:
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"
Along with the birthday song, Yuan Xudong walked in pushing the three-layer cake and put the birthday hat on Su Cheng's head. Yuan Xudong pinched her cheek and said with a smile:
"Orange, happy birthday. I will spend this day with you every year from now on. I hope that in every year in the future, you will be happier and happier, always healthy, full of vitality and vitality!"
"Thank you, thank you Xudong!"
After wiping her tears, Su Cheng looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled, her voice choked with sobs:
"This is the first time someone has celebrated my birthday since my parents passed away. How can we finish such a big birthday cake?"
“If you can’t finish it, keep it and give it to others to eat!”
After wiping away Su Cheng's tears, Yuan Xudong pulled her to stand up and said with a smile:
"Stop crying, be happy, make a wish, then blow out the candles and share the cake, okay?"
"Hmm~~"
Su Cheng nodded vigorously, looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a tearful smile:
"Okay, you come with me!"
"good!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong and Su Cheng showing off their affection like no one else, Ye Qiao's eyes flashed with a hint of envy and sadness. She was studying alone in the UK and spent her birthday with her classmates every year. There were many people and it was lively, but there was a lack of warmth.
, there are no parents, no brothers, only classmates and friends, it’s lively, but it’s just lively.
Liu Mengtian's face was complicated. At this moment, she had to admit that she was very envious and even jealous of Su Cheng. Her best friend who was far inferior to her in the past won the talent show and met a rich boyfriend who liked her so much. She
Her boyfriend would only lend her money, and he would never pay her back. He would never give her only one rose, let alone take the initiative to celebrate her birthday. He didn’t even know when her birthday was.
.
Zhao Ruoxi on the side is also full of envy. She has never celebrated even a birthday since she was a child. It's not that her parents don't love her, or that the family is too poor to open the pot, but that there is no concept of birthdays in the family at all. Seeing other people's birthdays
When the child celebrates her tenth birthday or her eighteenth birthday, her honest father will only say one thing about what kind of birthdays rural children celebrate. The good ones don’t learn from these crooked ways. Under the influence of her father, she and her younger siblings have never celebrated their birthdays.
, and I have never attended other people’s birthdays.
Su Cheng clasped her hands together in front of the birthday cake filled with candles, closed her eyes and silently made a birthday wish.
After making a wish, she opened her eyes and saw Ye Qiao, Liu Mengtian, and Zhao Ruoxi looking at her in a daze. Su Cheng couldn't help but blush and said shyly:
