After lunch, Gu Yannian took Su Yanxi and Sun Xiaoxi back to Changfeng, and then returned to Tianyi herself.

Su Yanxi had a meeting in the afternoon and was worried that Sun Xiaoxi would be bored by herself, so she told Sun Xiaoxi to go out for a walk by herself and then go home together after get off work. Sun Xiaoxi didn't want Su Yanxi to think she was a burden, so she offered to stay in the office and wait for Su Yanxi.

Seeing this, Su Yanxi didn't say anything more and went about her business.

After Su Yanxi left, Sun Xiaoxi wandered around the office. First, she sat in Su Yanxi's seat for a while, getting a feel for what it was like to be the chairperson. Then she got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside.

Su Yanxi's office is on the top floor, and looking out the window gives one a feeling of overlooking all the mountains.

Sun Xiaoxi had also worked in such an office building, but she sat in a cubicle, without a private office, and never went to the top floor.

Her mother and Su Yanxi's mother are sisters, but her mother has always been inferior to Su Yanxi's mother, so her mother is jealous of everything about Su Yanxi's mother.

After she was born, her mother named her Xiaoxi, which was actually based on the name Su Yanxi.

At that time, her mother had a simple idea: if she couldn't compete with someone, she would let her daughter compete.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do what her mother couldn't.

Sun Xiaoxi was lost in her thoughts when her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was her mother calling. Her brows furrowed immediately, and she reluctantly answered, "Hello, Mom."

"You brat, I told you to send the money, why haven't you sent it yet?"

As soon as the call connected, Li Xuehua's cursing came through.

Upon hearing that it was someone asking for money again, Sun Xiaoxi's tone turned unfriendly: "Didn't I transfer money to you last month? Why are you asking for money again?"

“You ate last month, why are you eating again now?” Li Xuehua pressed aggressively: “Stop talking nonsense. Your brother wants to buy a computer, so hurry up and transfer the money.”

"Buy a computer? Why do you need to buy a computer again?" Sun Xiaoxi's voice became shrill upon hearing this. "Didn't I already buy one for him before?"

“It’s been two years, and the computer is so slow. It’s really affecting your brother’s studies.” Li Xuehua said, “Your brother is the hope of our whole family. You can’t hold him back.”

“Yeah, sis, if it really doesn’t work out, just consider it a loan from me. I’ll pay you back when I make some money,” Sun Weian’s voice came through the phone.

Hearing this, Sun Xiaoxi couldn't help but sneer. Return it to her? Over the years, how many things had she bought for Sun Wei'an? Had Sun Wei'an ever returned a single one?

Relying on his parents' favoritism, he is ignorant and incompetent, and only his parents will believe him!

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoxi lost the urge to continue talking to them and hung up the phone directly.

When Sun Wei'an heard Sun Xiaoxi hang up the phone, he asked anxiously, "Mom, is my sister refusing to send the money?"

"She dares!"

Li Xuehua coaxed Sun Weian a few times: "Alright, alright, you go study first, I'll take care of the computer for you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Weian returned to his room.

Li Xuehua sent a voice message to Sun Xiaoxi, telling her that she had to return the money today no matter what.

Sun Xiaoxi received the voice message and knew what Li Xuehua was going to say without even opening it. She sighed and opened her mobile banking app. She had transferred most of her salary back to Li Xuehua, leaving very little; now she only had 20,000 yuan left in her account.

After hesitating for a long time, Sun Xiaoxi still transferred 10,000 yuan back. If she didn't, Li Xuehua would keep bombarding her with phone calls.

After transferring the money, Sun Xiaoxi lay down on the sofa, staring at the office ceiling, silently vowing to herself that she would stay here no matter what.

……

Sun Xiaoxi stayed in the office for the entire afternoon, finally making it until Su Yanxi got off work.

Su Yanxi packed her things and took Sun Xiaoxi home.

Throughout the journey, Sun Xiaoxi watched Su Yanxi skillfully drive her luxury car, and her heart swelled with envy. She wondered just how profitable Su Yanxi's company was; that outfit and that car were more than Sun Xiaoxi could earn in a lifetime of work.

Soon, Su Yanxi's car entered a villa community.

Sun Xiaoxi had already guessed that Su Yanxi was living a good life, but after actually seeing where Su Yanxi lived, she felt even more jealous.

After parking the car, Su Yanxi and Sun Xiaoxi got out and walked towards the house.

As soon as she entered, Sun Xiaoxi saw a young man watering the garden.

The man stopped what he was doing upon hearing the noise and looked up. One glance was enough to freeze Sun Xiaoxi in place.

The man before her was handsome and gentle. Unlike Gu Yannian's sunny and dashing appearance, this man gave people the feeling of a gentle and delicate spring breeze.

He's also a rare handsome guy!

"Xiaoxi, you're back."

Upon hearing the man's voice, Su Yanxi and Sun Xiaoxi responded simultaneously.

Su Yanxi glanced at Sun Xiaoxi, who then realized that the "Xiaoxi" the man was referring to wasn't her. Sun Xiaoxi's face flushed red with embarrassment.

"Xiaoxi, who is this?"

"Senior, this is my cousin, Sun Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi, this is my senior, Shen Shi'an."

Su Yanxi introduced Shen Shi'an and Sun Xiaoxi to each other.

"So you're Xiaoxi's cousin, hello."

Upon hearing about Sun Xiaoxi's identity, Shen Shi'an's smile grew even more gentle.

"Hello." Sun Xiaoxi nodded, blushing.

"Senior, let me do the watering."

"It's alright, you take your cousin inside first. It'll be good for me to stretch my legs."

"Okay, then be careful. Call me if anything happens."

Seeing that Shen Shi'an was in much better spirits, Su Yanxi felt relieved. After giving Shen Shi'an a few more instructions, she took Sun Xiaoxi inside.

Su Yanxi took Sun Xiaoxi to the guest room on the third floor and helped Sun Xiaoxi tidy up the room.

Thinking of Shen Shi'an, whom she had met, Sun Xiaoxi couldn't resist her curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, why are you living with your senior?"

“My senior and I started a business together, and he is one of the founders of the company. He owns a house, but it is being renovated and he hasn’t moved in yet, so he’s staying with me.”

"I see."

After tidying up the room, Su Yanxi looked at Sun Xiaoxi and said, "You can stay here for now. You can move out once you find a job."

"Okay, thank you, cousin."

"Alright, you go and rest now, I'm leaving first."

Su Yanxi gave a somewhat distant reply and left Sun Xiaoxi's room.

After seeing Su Yanxi leave, Sun Xiaoxi went to the window. Looking down from the window, she saw Shen Shi'an still watering the plants in the garden.

A company, luxury cars, a villa, and two such outstanding men.

At this moment, Sun Xiaoxi's jealousy reached its peak.
