My Life with Narration

Chapter 519 - 510: Your Man, I’ll Take Care of Him

In this world, there’s really no such thing as fairness. Some people struggle for three meals a day, enduring for survival, while others enjoy life without worries.

And Su Qing, at this moment, is one of those notorious capitalists in the eyes of the public.

In a high-end residential area in the capital, where each building contains only one large apartment per floor, it was here that Su Qing truly saw what a wealthy lifestyle was like.

In sight was a living room larger than his own home, with everything perfectly in place at the entrance. The minimalist design featured a black and gray color scheme, simple yet grand.

The level of luxury in this home even raised at least two levels above that of the landlady’s house.

Of course, that also had to do with the landlady’s house being just a temporary residence, after all, she initially chose it just because it was close to the kindergarten.

It was only because Shen Yi and he came to live there that the landlady didn’t move. Otherwise, she might have moved to a place next to the little girl’s elementary school.

School district house? Absolutely not, the landlady lives wherever she pleases.

"Wow~~ Sister-in-law, your house is so big, so beautiful. Am I staying here tonight?" Su He exclaimed in awe as he ran around the living room, completely unconcerned about maintaining poise, which was quite embarrassing.

Although he felt the same way inside, having never seen a home so well-furnished before, he forced himself to remain calm, considering his current status.

After all, this was his girlfriend’s house, and he, in a way, was half the owner. He couldn’t appear like a country bumpkin.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi, wearing an apron, brought out a freshly stir-fried dish of shredded pork with green peppers and said with a light laugh, "Of course, you can pick a room for yourself in a bit.

Come over and get ready to eat. We just got back today, and there’s nothing in the fridge, so I ordered a table from outside and also cooked one dish, just to show some effort."

At this moment, the large dining table was filled with a variety of dishes, including seafood and secret recipes, quite luxurious.

The lives of wealthy people are just so simple and unadorned. I don’t have time to cook, but I can pay someone to do it, and it’s even door-to-door service with ingredients, it’s just absurd.

Upon hearing this, Tang Nan sat down at the dining table without the slightest courtesy, bluntly saying, "This dish you made is unnecessary, no one would eat it, even your cooking skills are average, why waste the effort!"

"I’ll eat, I’ll eat!" Su He raised his hand!

In response, Su Qing laughed, "Look, there’s someone to appreciate it!"

In fact, he didn’t want Shen Yi to go through the trouble of cooking a dish herself, after all, it wasn’t like meeting his future in-laws, just coming over to Shen Yi’s parents’ place, but Shen Yi thought, as it was his first visit, she ought to show a gesture.

"If you really want to show something, with the New Year approaching, why don’t you take Xiao Su back to your place, what are you doing here, right Xiao Su?"

"I think you’re right!"

"See, Xiao Su agrees, and besides, this house hasn’t been lived in for a year, I still had to find someone to clean it for you, such a hassle, it would be better to go to my place."

Shen Yi didn’t mind their banter, casually taking off her apron, tucking her bangs behind her ears gently:

"I’m bringing my man home, why should we go to your place? I’m not out of places to stay in the capital anyway, and besides, who knows if your place is a mess like a pigsty. Don’t think I don’t know your true nature, all shiny on the outside, but actually a slob!"

"You’re the slob, who are you calling dirty?"

"Whoever’s socks are crusty right now!"

At this, Tang Nan instinctively looked down and realized he had changed his socks today and knew he was being teased: "You..."

"What do you mean you, let’s eat!" Shen Yi waved her hand, signaling them to start eating.

At this, Su He kicked him lightly under the table and whispered, "Brother... is everything alright?"

"It’s okay, they won’t really fight. But if they do, remember to help your sister-in-law!"

Su He: ???

Tang Nan: ...

Faced with his blatant favoritism, Shen Yi couldn’t help but laugh, then turned her head to Su He and asked, "How’s school going these days? At the start of the semester, I was busy in Jiang City; otherwise, I would have come over with your brother to drop you off."

"Pretty good, sister-in-law. At first, it was a bit hard to adjust, but now I’m fully adapted. Plus, university life is much easier than high school; you can slack off, play with your phone even during class, so much freedom. The only downside is that we still have evening classes at uni, which annoys me to no end, those damned sophomore students!"

"Haven’t you found a partner yet? Let me tell you, your university life is incomplete without experiencing romance." Tang Nan asked with curiosity from the side.

In response, Su He shook his head, "Don’t even mention it, the guys in our class who look decent are all gaming addicts, while the average-looking ones keep trying to get into our circle of girls. We all know their intentions clearly, but we just don’t say it. It’s so frustrating just watching them."

"Are you sure it’s not because the handsome ones don’t fancy you? After all, you had a social mishap at the military training, embarrassed yourself, and lost your dating rights," Su Qing directly jabbed him from the side.

"I saw that too, laughed so hard!" Tang Nan couldn’t help but laugh, as if recalling something.

Su He: ...

"Sister-in-law~~ look at my brother!"

Listening to Su He’s complaints, the three people at the table all shared knowing smiles.

Who said university is always easier? Who said you’ll definitely find someone in university? It’s all lies.

University is only slightly easier after the first year, and that’s for those who don’t want to go to graduate school, just aiming to get a diploma.

As for finding a partner in university, that’s just nonsense. If you couldn’t manage the straightforward high school girls, what chance do you have in university? It’s just a different place to stay single.

"Enough, you two, bullying a kid, that’s really something," Shen Yi glanced at the pair and continued:

"I heard from your brother that you’ve recently been making short videos?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I’ve already started getting ads!"

"Impressive, when I was your age, I hadn’t even thought about making money yet. Keep it up! My company deals with the internet and also includes social media. Once you’re ready, I’ll help you start a studio and let you be the boss."

"Really? Thanks, sister-in-law!"

"Haha~ That’s President Shen’s passive skill, making big promises. Your sister is still young!" Tang Nan sighed while glancing at him.

Su Qing nodded silently: "She’s not cut out to be a boss. Don’t I know the Su Family well? I believe she could become an internet celebrity and earn millions overnight from live streaming, but starting a company? Give it up. If she really can be a boss, I’d have to make my dad do a paternity test. After all, the Su Family doesn’t have those genes!"

Regarding this, Shen Yi was also resigned to these two mischievous ones. They really know how to ruin the atmosphere.

"By the way, are you busy tomorrow?" Tang Nan asked Shen Yi.

"I came all the way back from Jiang City, do you think I’m not busy? If you showed just a bit of initiative, would I need to come back?"

"True, but since you’re busy tomorrow, leave Xiao Su to me. Don’t worry, your husband will be well taken care of, so you can go without worries!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi clenched her fists tightly: "Wait until you find a boyfriend, I’ll definitely tell him everything you said today."

In response, Tang Nan wasn’t worried at all: "No problem, we won’t look for one in this lifetime; leeching off you works just as well!"

Su Qing: →_→

"Although Brother Nan is great, I still support my sister-in-law!" Su He voiced his stance from the side.

Upon this, Shen Yi glared at Tang Nan and then said to him: "Tomorrow she’s introducing you to some friends. Remember to be sharp; women in the entertainment industry are hard to deal with, they’re too goal-oriented, they take advantage when there’s benefit, but just avoid getting taken advantage of."

The implication was to engage if there was beneficial interaction, but if someone just wanted to exploit him for money, he shouldn’t bother.

It’s worth noting that among her friends and partners, there were also many men. Just as Su Qing never interferes with her social circles, she wouldn’t restrict Su Qing. Business matters are unavoidable, but one must distinguish clearly.

"No problem, don’t worry. It’s also not certain anything will come of it; it’s just a visit." Su Qing nodded.

He dared not say much else, as long as it’s narrated in third-person perspective. Whoever intends to exploit him, unless he willingly lets them, it’s impossible they wouldn’t get spotted.

"Hey, hey, hey, they’re still all my friends, okay? What do you mean take advantage when there’s benefit? What, abandoning... *cough* the ruthless?" Looking at the college student nearby, Tang Nan immediately hit the brakes.

"Huh? Brother, you’re busy tomorrow? Didn’t you say you would buy clothes for me?" Su He asked, a bit disappointed.

In response, Tang Nan comforted: "No worries, considering it’s in the afternoon, I’ll accompany you in the morning, your brother’s fashion sense isn’t that great."

"Really? That’s great!"

The four of them then ate and chatted, mainly focusing on Su He. Shen Yi didn’t talk much about work to the two of them, nor did they ask; trust was sufficient.

If there was really a problem, Shen Yi would speak up.

After dinner, the four cleaned up a bit. Then Tang Nan didn’t leave and decided to stay, which was fine since Shen Yi’s house was spacious with plenty of rooms.

At this moment though, Shen Yi was bracing Su Qing’s lower back, pushing him out with force.

Not far off, Tang Nan and Su He were watching the duo, curious expressions on their faces.

One watched her sibling’s little embarrassment play out, while the other observed to see if her mom’s side of the family could have any additions soon, letting her become an aunt.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you pushing me?" Su Qing asked helplessly.

In response, Shen Yi, blushing slightly, whispered: "Well, tonight you sleep next door!"

"Is that really necessary, sharing separate rooms? It’s not like we’re out of rooms!"

"Still... no way, how can you sleep together the first day at the girl’s place?"

Su Qing:...

"This isn’t your parent’s home, your uncle and aunt aren’t here."

On the other side, Su He nudged Tang Nan’s waist: "Brother Nan, do you think my brother will succeed today?"

"Tch, is that even a question? Despite your sister-in-law’s aloofness, behind closed doors, she’s quite lively. Wait and see; once we sleep, if your brother doesn’t go over, she’ll go. Sometimes one suffers for pride’s sake; just watch."

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s face turned even redder. Ever since she’d been embarrassed last October outdoors, she never dared gamble on Tang Nan or Wen Nanqing’s benevolence again. Never in front of them could she let herself be laughed at.

"Please, just listen, go sleep next door!" Shen Yi pleaded pitifully.

With that, Su Qing had no choice, definitely couldn’t let his girlfriend suffer public embarrassment.

"Fine then, I’ll head back. Goodnight everyone!"

Having said that, Su Qing turned and went next door.

Seeing this, Tang Nan snickered: "No need for you to suffer for pride. If you don’t go, I’m going!"

Shen Yi ignored her and went straight back to her room.

In her eyes, Tang Nan was just all talk, pretending she had tons of dating experience and acting as the seasoned pro. A true pro like Wen Nanqing wouldn’t make such low-level jokes.

Others take action directly, only someone like Tang Nan still thinks she knows it all, practically outdated.

Seeing both returned to their rooms, Tang Nan sighed and said helplessly: "Let’s go, no drama to watch, sleep, sleep, keep your ears open tonight; if you hear any sounds, remember to message me so we can check together."

"No problem!"
