After Marrying Bigshot Vegetable Boss - Chapter 15

After saying this sentence, Yu Lan didn’t care about other people’s expressions, but he felt really good in his heart.

 

So satisfying!!

 

He finally said a cliché line from a TV drama!

 

Turns out, saying cheesy lines feels so joyful!!

 

This card was linked to the account Chu Wang gave him. Just by looking at the card, the store manager’s expression changed immediately after swiping it. Then, with an attitude ten times more respectful than before, he bowed ninety degrees: “Hello, may I ask if there are any other needs you have…”

 

Yu Lan lifted his chin and innocently asked Yu Ling beside him, “Brother, do you have anything else you want to buy?”

 

The smile on Yu Ling’s lips froze almost instantly, and in front of the group of friends surrounding him, he shook his head, “…”

 

Unfortunately, those few people were clueless, so they started flattering Yu Lan one after another: “Yu Ling, your brother got married?”

 

“The other party must be impressive too. Hey, when will such good fortune come to me…”

 

Yu Ling’s expression almost couldn’t hold up, and he had to exert some force to maintain his warm smile.

 

But Yu Lan didn’t care. Yu Lan was just an ordinary college student with a husband’s black card.

 

After finishing his shopping, he clapped his hands and was about to leave. The billing address on Chu Wang’s card was already there: “Just send it to the address on the bill.”

 

“Brother, do you want your two items to be sent home?” 

 

This time, Yu Ling only pulled the corners of his mouth, then suddenly reached out and hung the two pieces of clothing back on the small cart: “I suddenly feel that the new styles this season don’t suit me very well. The color scheme doesn’t match my previous style. Let’s leave them for now.”

 

“Oh, brother,” Yu Lan generously said to Yu Ling with Chu Wang’s card, “what’s our relationship!”

 

Then he casually picked two more items—because he didn’t pay attention to which two items Yu Ling put back, and with the manner and tone of giving a red envelope to a child from a relative during Chinese New Year, he directly shoved them into Yu Ling’s arms—

 

“Why be polite with me when you’re with me!”

 

“After all, brother still has things to give me.” Yu Lan walked up to him, smiling reminder in his eyes.

 

Even though he thought the Yu family wouldn’t give him much money, he was comfortable thinking that way.

 

He couldn’t be bothered to care about Yu Ling’s reaction. After all, he had said what he needed to say. Yu Ling definitely wouldn’t give him anything in front of so many people today, so being a bit disgusting was enough.

 

He took back the card from the store manager without looking at Yu Ling again and dragged Zhong Jiale away.

 

Yu Ling stood still. The store manager had escorted Yu Lan to the door, then hurried back: “Mr. Yu, sorry to keep you waiting.”

 

“The gentleman who was here just now settled the bill for you. Would you like these two items wrapped up for you to take away now, or would you like us to send them to your home later?” The manager was still very attentive, but paused for a moment and remembered something, “But it might be a bit later today, as we need to deliver to the gentleman first.”

 

Yu Ling has always been knowledgeable and courteous when he was outside, but today he was unexpectedly cold and aloof. He frowned and asked, “Aren’t I a high-level VIP? Why not deliver mine first?”

 

The store manager showed a slightly embarrassed but very professional smile, “Mr. Yu, you are indeed our esteemed customer, and our customers are treated equally regardless of status. However, manpower is limited, so…”

 

He didn’t say the rest, but it was almost equivalent to making it clear.

 

In other words, Mr. Yu Ling might be a very high-level VIP in terms of consumption, but he was still not a VIP. The other person was a figure one level higher than even the boss.

 

Yu Ling’s face paled for a moment, but he didn’t want his loss of control to be too obvious, so he forced a smile two seconds later, “Understood.”

 

But he did understand. Those who came with him, originally just wanted to see what kind of friends the rich young master had, but now they were a bit puzzled.

 

“Your relative is so powerful?”

 

“He said he got married, so his husband must have some influence…”

 

After discussing, they still glanced at Yu Ling.

 

Yu Ling felt uncomfortable: “I… I don’t know.”

 

“That’s true. The relationships in wealthy families are complex. Fortunately, you are the only son of the Yu family. No matter what happens in the future, the family property will be yours. These distant relatives won’t have any influence.”

 

“Yeah, unless he can marry that rich tycoon! Although it’s said to be in recovery, many rumors suggest that he’s been bedridden for a long time. But it’s probably not possible…”

 

Yu Ling couldn’t bear to listen any longer and wanted to interrupt their conversation: “How about this, I’ll treat you to dinner upstairs. Do you have any special requests?”

 

The group stopped discussing the topic of his “relative” and said, “Oh, it’s indeed Young Master Yu Ling, always getting the limelight.”

 

When these people started praising Yu Ling again, his expression improved slightly.

 

But…

 

He couldn’t understand.

 

Why would Yu Lan come to a place like this?

 

Last time he visited, maybe the Chu family would treat him well for the sake of face, or considering that he would take care of Chu Wang, so they were decent to him in daily life, but…

 

He saw it clearly just now.

 

How could Yu Lan possibly get Chu Wang’s personal card?

 

He’s a vegetative person, unable to speak or move. He wouldn’t give it to him at all. So Yu Lan is…

 

Yu Ling suddenly had an idea.

 

No wonder that day, the servants of the Chu family said Yu Ling spent all his time with Chu Wang in the room, maybe it was for this reason.

 

He couldn’t help but tighten his lips.

 

Regardless of how he knew the password, did anyone from the Chu family know that he took Chu Wang’s card and used it?

 

—

 

Yu Lan had already left with Zhong Jiale.

 

Zhong Jiale might be a bit single-minded, but he still felt something was off in this subtle atmosphere: “Are you very close to this relative?”

 

He scratched his head: “Not really, but why do I feel something’s off?”

 

But Zhong Jiale quickly said to himself, “Forget it, you don’t have to say. After all, whose family doesn’t have a difficult relative.”

 

Yu Lan asked curiously, “Is it the same with your family?”

 

“It’s not my parents, but some relatives in my family…” Zhong Jiale pouted, “Old-fashioned and outdated.”

 

Yu Lan felt that Zhong Jiale suddenly cared about the offhand remark he made today, probably because there were some conservative thoughts in his family, which made him so concerned.

 

He knew where to stop, so he didn’t continue asking. After comforting him for a few words, he bid farewell to Zhong Jiale at the intersection.

 

When he returned home, the clothes from the store had just been delivered.

 

Xi Yun saw him come back and praised his good taste: “Xiao Yu finally went to buy clothes? Looks good, young people like you look good in whatever you wear.”

 

Xi Yun was becoming more satisfied with him the more she looked at him. From the beginning of casual dressing to actually having meals together occasionally and occasionally communicating.

 

He felt that he might not need family affection, but he could discern whether a person’s emotions were genuine or fake. Therefore, as long as it was genuine, regardless of the reason, he would reciprocate doubly.

 

Yu Lan nodded and sat down to have dinner with Xi Yun.

 

When he returned to Chu Wang’s room, he had been listening at the door to the conversation downstairs for a long time.

 

Chu Wang started to think for the third time whether he should find some excuse to slowly let Yu Lan know the truth.

 

But sometimes, he felt it was quite amusing to see Yu Lan saying one thing to his face and another behind his back.

 

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Lan entered, he slumped on the sofa, rested for two minutes, cleared his throat in front of the mirror, raised his spirits slightly, and then walked to his bed.

 

At this moment, Chu Wang couldn’t help but revert to his initial thoughts.

 

There’s no need to make things so complicated.

 

Just as he was thinking, Yu Lan lightly tapped his slightly chilly knuckles, “Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu?”

 

“I’m back.”

 

All the thoughts Chu Wang had just vanished suddenly, and all that was left was a single word: “Hmm.”

 

“I went to school today to handle the formalities and also made a friend along the way.”

 

Although Zhong Jiale didn’t seem very bright, he was a nice person. After some thought, Yu Lan decided to inform Chu Wang.

 

“By the way, Mr. Chu, I went shopping after class today.” Yu Lan felt he had to inform Chu Wang after using someone else’s card.

 

To his surprise, Chu Wang didn’t seem surprised at all. “Did you run out of money?”

 

“Huh?” Yu Lan was taken aback.

 

“Didn’t I say to tell me after you’ve spent it all?” Chu Wang said casually.

 

Even though Yu Lan was feeling ecstatic about his newfound wealth, he was still startled. How could Chu Wang casually say that he might have spent all the money in a single day?

 

He shook his head repeatedly. “That didn’t happen!”

 

“But… I met my brother today.”

 

Chu Wang’s eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

 

It seemed that whenever Yu Lan encountered his brother, it was never a good thing.

 

“We happened to be browsing in the same store, and it seems he’s a VIP there. The store manager treated him specially.” Yu Lan didn’t realize he was sounding like a tattletale as he continued, “And guess what? He offered to let me pick something, and he’d foot the bill.”

 

Yu Lan paused halfway and looked up at Chu Wang, calling out to him, “And then I refused.”

 

Chu Wang looked at Yu Lan and saw the familiar, slightly cunning expression on his face.

 

The corners of his eyes curved slightly, giving the impression that he was pretending to be pitiful, but in fact, he had his own little scheme.

 

But his little schemes didn’t seem to be bad at all. Chu Wang thought unprincipledly, after all, Yu Ling wasn’t a good person either.

 

He suddenly felt a bit regretful that he could only be trapped in this place. If he could see the situation at that time, it would surely be more vivid than what he described.

 

“I… not only refused him, but I also bought what he wanted as well. I used your card.” Yu Lan looked at him with clear eyes, “Mr. Chu, I made a decision without consulting you. You’re not angry, are you?”

 

As Yu Lan spoke, he was actually a bit uncertain.

 

After all, he didn’t know what the wealthy thought about money. Although Chu Wang had repeatedly told him not to have any concerns, what if he didn’t want to spend money on others?

 

He looked at Chu Wang, but the translucent soul figure didn’t immediately respond.

 

Yu Lan’s heart began to beat faster.

 

He paused, intending to pretend to make amends again: “Mr. Chu…”

 

“Did you only buy two pieces of clothing?” Chu Wang suddenly interjected.

 

Yu Lan nodded. “Yes—”

 

“Why didn’t you buy the whole store in front of him?” Chu Wang said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Was there not enough money in my account?”
