She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 436 The Greedy Little Country Girl 16

Seeing her indifferent look, Xu Manyuan was furious: "You say it's not easy if you can't get her, but why is it that Miss Shen can always get her?"

"I didn't hear you say anything when you approached Pei Jingche before, but now you're using the same tactics on me."

Shen Weicang frequently overshadowed Xu Manyuan, who couldn't do anything about her. He was so angry that he felt like vomiting blood.

Xu Jingxiang was not to be outdone: "I liked him at that time, so I wanted to date him. It was you who instigated me to rely on him."

"You only see Pei Jingche's good conditions, but why don't you think about whether his family is easy to get along with? If I really marry him, will he be looked down upon by others in his family?"

The more she spoke, the sadder she sounded. Her parents had never thought about these things for her. They only wanted her to marry into a good family so that they could get more dowry for her younger brother.

Short-sighted and greedy.

"What do you mean by looking up to others and looking down on others? Isn't it a good thing to marry into a good family? Do you think we, your parents, are harming you? I think you are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them," Xu Manyuan said in annoyance.

"Go home and cook for me. Come with us to work in the fields this afternoon. You've been resting for so long that you've become lazy and even learned to talk back."

Xu Jingxiang sneered in her heart. Her parents certainly didn't think it was bad to marry into a wealthy family. To them, it was more like selling their daughter than marrying her off.

After she got married in her previous life, Xu Manyuan and Liu Guihua never contacted her again except asking her for money.

Even if Shen Weicang suffered in the Pei family and confirmed her words, her parents would not think anything of it.

She said nothing more and walked home.

Xu Manyuan was still muttering about how he didn't seize such a good opportunity.

Xu Jingxiang felt amused. Xu Manyuan only saw that Zhu Yanfeng had a high education and status, and wanted her to stick to Zhu Yanfeng, but he didn't know that compared to him, Cheng Qinji's status was more powerful.

Zhu Yanfeng was born in the countryside, so he thought of paying attention to the psychological problems of rural people and came to do research.

Although he is very capable, he is almost alone except for a mentor who can help him from time to time.

Cheng Qinji, however, still has the entire Cheng family to plan for him.

His eldest uncle is a top talent in the academic world, his grandfather is also an influential figure, and his uncle is in the army.

Cheng Qinji was more favored in the Cheng family than Cheng Hexi. Both of his parents were martyrs who died before he could remember, and there was not even a family photo.

The Cheng family felt sorry for this kid who lost his father before he was born and his mother when he was very young. They raised him almost in a doting manner, and raised him to be a fearless person.

That's why Cheng Hexi always used him to trip him up in his previous life. As long as the troubles he caused were not illegal or criminal, the Cheng family could handle them.

To put it more bluntly, even if Cheng Qinji really did something in the gray area, it would not be a big deal for the Cheng family.

Shen Weicang is close to Cheng Qinji now. It will be a good show to watch when Cheng Hexi finds out about her and Pei Jingche.

Cheng Qinji just sent Zhou Minqing and Zhou Minhong home, and then took Shen Weicang back to the office.

This time, Shen Weicang sat in the passenger seat, while Zhu Yanfeng and Liu Chuanyu were in the back seat.

"Professor Zhu, shall we go have a meal first?"

Liu Chuanyu asked in a negotiating tone: "There are noodle shops and stir-fry restaurants in the village, but they are not as good as the state-owned restaurants in the county. Why don't we go to the county and come back in the afternoon?"

Zhu Yanfeng's face didn't look good, but his tone of voice was calm: "It's all right, you decide."

What Liu Chuanyu hates most is that his leaders tell him “anything is fine”.

He laughed dryly and said, "Why don't we go to the state-owned restaurant and see how Xiaolin is doing."

Xiao Lin is Zhu Yanfeng's student. He came here specially for learning and practice. He had a stomachache this morning, so he asked for leave.

Zhu Yanfeng said, "Comrade Shen, what do you think?"

Liu Chuanyu pursed his lips into a straight line and asked Cang Cang what he was doing. He had already eaten. Didn't Professor Zhu hear what Cheng Qinji said just now?

And why didn’t he say he wanted to ask Cang Cang’s opinion just now, but instead told him “anything is fine”.

Go to a state-owned restaurant?

Shen Weicang nodded happily: "Go ahead, but I just had a full meal, why are you still asking about me, Professor Zhu?"

Although she was full, she could still eat more if she went to a state-owned restaurant.

Zhu Yanfeng said with a hint of meaning: "I'm worried that Cheng Qinji didn't take good care of you just now. Maybe you just ate some snacks to fill your stomach. Those things are useless and you will be hungry soon."

Shen Weicang seemed not to understand what he meant: "We are eating beef noodles, not snacks."

"Really? How does it taste?"

If Zhu Yanfeng wanted to chat with someone, it was basically impossible for the conversation to be dull. Shen Weicang chatted with him enthusiastically for several sentences, and Cheng Qinji could no longer sit still:

"Hey, Zhu Yanfeng, you've been talking all morning. Why can't you take a break? Can you just shut up? You're making so much noise that I can't even concentrate on driving."

Zhu Yanfeng restrained his smile a little: "Why is it that my chat with Comrade Shen doesn't suit your taste? You are too overbearing and unreasonable."

"Before you left, Professor Cheng warned you not to bring your bad habits everywhere. I think you have completely forgotten it."

Cheng Qinji sighed and said bluntly: "Cang Cang is different from you. Let alone talking, even singing makes me happy. I get annoyed when you talk. Who can you blame for this?"

Shen Weicang pursed his lips and smiled: "How can I sing?"

She tilted her head to glance at Cheng Qinji. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, which made him look even more relaxed and at ease.

She had already found out almost everything about the Cheng family, and she never expected that Cheng Qinji's identity was so powerful.

Now she was increasingly suspicious whether Pei Jingche and Cheng Qinji knew each other.

Cheng Qinji smiled, his face looked very delicate under the sunglasses: "Then I'll sing for you, what song do you want to hear?"

Shen Weicang couldn't really say for a moment: "Just sing a song. I want to hear whether you sing well or not."

Cheng Qinji was not at all stage nervous. She cleared her throat and started singing right away.

Zhu Yanfeng listened to a few words and couldn't stand it any longer: "Can you please stop singing?"

He actually sang "Sweet Honey" to Comrade Shen, and turned his head to look at her from time to time while singing. He was really shameless.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Qinji was interrupted and couldn't keep up with the tone. He exhaled, "Master, you have said a lot this morning. No one will think you are dumb. Can you shut up for a while?"

Zhu Yanfeng's tone was relatively gentle: "Don't you think the song you sang is a bit inappropriate?"

Cheng Qinji laughed angrily: "What's wrong with this song? It's very popular recently. Do you know what pop music is?"

"Besides, what's wrong with this song? I didn't expect that a high-level intellectual like you would be so closed-minded and outdated. I really have nothing to say to you."

As he spoke, he complained to Shen Weicang again: "Every time he opens his mouth, his speaking style is exactly the same as my uncle's, so old-fashioned."

Shen Weicang laughed and asked curiously, "Then how old are you, Professor Zhu?"
