The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits

Chapter 1463 - 1475: The Perfect Housewife (Part 2)

Anyway, this doesn’t prove anything.

Boys are in their rebellious stage at this age. They’ll be very averse to restrictions and constraints, and even parents nagging them a bit will irritate them.

Yesterday, my step-son just received an offer from a renowned overseas university; he’s only sixteen, truly a young genius.

So, right after he received the admission letter yesterday, Wu Zhou ran off with friends to celebrate.

With one more person in the house, it seems the restlessness that lingered has faded significantly.

The next day, Su Li was awakened by the sound of a ringing phone.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Xi, the original owner’s best friend, excitedly invited her to go shopping together.

The mall they went to is owned by the Wu Family, and with Su Li’s title as the ’boss lady,’ the manager was already waiting at the entrance when their car arrived.

Lin Xi’s face has a dignified look, combined together a bit too much nobility.

Especially when walking with Su Li, who doesn’t show her age, it feels like a mother taking her daughter shopping.

Half-jokingly, half-complaining, Lin Xi said, "Look, being rich is great, not only can one maintain themselves like a young girl, but wherever you go, someone will follow along."

If it were in the past, the original owner would definitely say, "Who are we, with our relationship, why differentiate?"

Usually, after saying this, the original owner would grandly tell the mall manager: Today’s expenses all go on my tab.

Yet today, Su Li very seriously and straightforwardly answered, "Isn’t it?"

"Having money is truly great; seventy to eighty percent of the world’s troubles can be solved with money."

Lin Xi suddenly froze and slowly nodded, "Ah, yes, yes."

A flash of annoyance passed through her eyes as she awkwardly changed the subject, "Ah Lee, let’s check out that store, the bag in the display window looks really nice."

Su Li glanced over, and the manager behind quickly provided insights, "Yes, this is the latest limited edition released by the brand’s designer, with nationwide stock not exceeding a handful. We have two right in our store."

Lin Xi: "Truly stunning."

Lin Xi: "Two arrived? Perfect." She turned eagerly to Su Li, "How about we each buy one as sister styles?"

Su Li smiled, "Sure." She also found this bag quite pleasing, the entire purse exuded wealth and opulence.

After speaking, Su Li paused, teased, "It’s also good for your partner to feel the pressure of life; if he doesn’t earn well, he won’t even be able to support his wife."

"Ah..." Lin Xi exclaimed softly in surprise, showing a difficult face, stammered, "You..."

What she wanted to blurt out was: Aren’t you going to pay for hers too?

But she knew well enough that saying such things would make her shameless.

Still, Su Li always showed off her generosity, assuming she was considerate... never needing to be asked, she’d just jump at paying.

This small amount is nothing to her, but today, why...

Lin Xi couldn’t outright say she wanted her friend to cover the expense but felt truly pained.

Over a hundred thousand, she could afford it, but to spend it on a bag, seemed outright foolish.

Su Li’s eyes were glued to the newly purchased bag, like she was blind to the displeasure on her friend’s face.

Ultimately, Lin Xi’s pride got the better of her, and she painstakingly pulled out her bank card.

Hearing the sound of the card swiping, the lightness of her face trembled three times, and there was not a trace left of the excitement and happiness she had when she first saw the bag.

Looking again at Su Li, Lin Xi’s eyes carried an indistinct look of complaint.

Lin Xi lowered her eyes, received the shopping bag from the sales assistant carelessly, and asked, "Ah Lee, your Wu Zhou is wealthy and considerate. Haven’t you ever worried over the years?"

"I’ve heard that his Secretary General is both beautiful and capable."

Su Li stopped, quietly stared at Lin Xi, with an ambiguous smile at the corner of her mouth, said, "Xixi, are you hinting to me that Wu Zhou and his secretary might have an affair?"

"No, how could that be." Lin Xi’s rebuttal was so swift it carried a hint of ’No Silver Here.’

Frustrated, she pinched her fingers, cursing herself for her slip of tongue, speaking without discretion.

Her little gesture wasn’t missed by Su Li, "Xixi, do you remember how many years we’ve known each other?"

Seeing Su Li didn’t seem suspicious in any way, Lin Xi sighed in relief as her earlier resentment unknowingly dissolved significantly.

What does having money matter, it’s not...

Lin Xi: "I’ve known you longer than you’ve known Wu Zhou. I’ve practically watched you both come to where you are now."

Su Li: "I always consider you a dear sister, how about you?"

Lin Xi feigned anger, "Of course, you’ve always been my best sister, no different from kin. Why ask so? Do you want me angry?"

Su Li laughed, "Just teasing, we are certainly sisters."

Sisters indeed～

After a shopping spree, spending over a hundred thousand, clearly Lin Xi felt a pang in her heart, losing interest to continue, and they parted early, earlier than any past outing.

On the ride home, Su Li received a video call from her cheap husband Wu Zhou.

Su Li carefully scrutinized the man in the video, showing undeniable charm: the charm of money.

Already in his forties, yet maintained like a man in his early thirties, still exuding the elegance and self-assurance dressed by wealth.

He probably sent the video from his office, for occasionally, a glimpse of his secretary Song Xianyu’s bright red skirt corner flickered by.

After a conversation, a slender finger with rose-dark red nail polish slipped into frame.

Unlike the clear voice of a young girl, a mature woman spoke hoarsely, with a hook, "Chairman, your coffee."

"In fifteen minutes, you have a video meeting with a partner..."

"Ah Lee, I’ll hang up first, call you later. Take care of yourself, I’ll bring you a gift when I return."

Despite being long married, Wu Zhou’s gaze still lovingly pampered his wife like a little girl.

While speaking, the female secretary nudged him again.

Su Li: "Husband, your secretary is rather indiscreet."

Wu Zhou was surprised, "Wife you..."

"No worries, you go handle your work."

Wu Zhou gazed deeply at Su Li, not hanging up immediately; it was as if suddenly recalling, he asked, "Did you find the tape I asked you to look for yesterday?"

Su Li: "Is it the tape from our wedding ceremony?"

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, we’ve been married for so many years."

Su Li: "No, I searched for a long time and couldn’t find it."

"Bang"

Su Li heard the sound of something breaking in the video, asked, "What happened?"

Wu Zhou’s expression changed dramatically, turning grimly unpleasant, but restrained his emotions to explain to Su Li, "Secretary Song accidentally shattered a set of my tea set."
