Chapter 29
Qiao Mu entered the office and sat down on an empty couch.
The office was spacious, and there was a table and a chair in the middle of it. A black leather couch stood not too far away from the table. On her left, was a redwood cabinet with bottles of expensive liquor and pricey liquor glasses inside. On her right, there was a floor to ceiling window, providing the office with ample sunlight.
Even though the interior of the office was simple, it was obvious that all the furniture were expensive.
Qiao Mu sized up the bottles of expensive liquor that she had only seen in magazines. She then went before the floor to ceiling window and looked down. From where she was standing, the people and cars on the streets looked like ants. Li Yan was so rich and powerful, and she could not help but to think about how making comparisons was the death of joy.
Even though a member of the Qiao family, she had seen quite a lot of expensive things and attended many big events, her life was absolutely horrible compared to that of Li Yan’s!
…..
The moment Li Yan entered his office, he saw that Qiao Mu was leaning against the floor to ceiling window. Her eyes were bright, and she was looking around like a curious child. She looked really funny.
This reminded him of the first time he had brought her to his house. She had said with an exaggerated tone, “Big brother, your house looks like a palace. It’s so beautiful! It must be great to live here!”
He said in exasperation, “Doesn’t the Qiao family mansion look like this too?”
She shook her head and furrowed her eyebrows. “Is that so? I’ve never paid attention to how the mansion looks because I’m always so nervous when I’m inside there.”
At that time, Li Yan was thinking about how silly this young woman was!
Qiao Mu heard the sound of the door being closed and turned abruptly. She saw that Li Yan was sizing her up as he stood before the door. He was smiling, and he seemed to be looking at her like she was a joke.
As if she was being caught red-handed, Qiao Mu blushed. She immediately clasped her hands behind her back. She looked like an obedient junior school student as she said, “Uncle, you’re back!”
“Yeah.” Li Yan sat down on the couch and waved at Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu walked over to him obediently. “Uncle, about the 300,000 RMB…”
Li Yan shot her a flat glance and whipped out his cell phone to make a call. “Lei Yi, carry the things I asked you to prepare into my office.”
‘The money needs to be carried? Is he about to give me cash?’
This was when Lei Yi, along with a few other men, carried boxes of items into the office.
Even though Qiao Mu had not used luxury goods before, she could recognize the logos of luxury brands that were printed on the boxes.
Soon, the coffee table was covered in boxes consisting of various luxury goods.
Qiao Mu was immediately dumbfounded.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a very ominous feeling about this.
Li Yan grabbed a tea cup and took a sip. He said flatly, “The total value of these are more than 300,000 RMB.
Qiao Mu was rendered speechless, and her expression changed. Fortunately, she was a mentally strong person. She suppressed her shock and pretended to be calm as she said, “Uncle, this is not money.”
“Didn’t you want money just to purchase luxury goods? Shouldn’t you be elated when you see this?”
Qiao Mu did not know what to say.
‘Bloody hell! Of course I’m not happy! I feel like crying, okay!”
Qiao Mu finally realized that Li Yan had played a prank on her!
Qiao Mu suppressed her sadness and anger. “Uncle, I do like luxury goods. But I really don’t feel happy at all when you give them to be just like that. You know, women enjoy the feeling of going shopping and buying the things they like. The most important thing for us is to be able to choose the luxury goods we want one by one and pay for them using our credit cards. So…”
‘Can’t he just give me cash! What an a*shole!’
Before Qiao Mu could finish speaking, Li Yan nodded in understanding. He rose and went to his office table. He then opened the drawer and took out a card.
Qiao Mu was elated. She felt extremely sorry for thinking of Li Yan as such a horrible person just now. As it seemed, he was not playing a prank on her!
However, after Qiao Mu ran over to Li Yan like a dog wagging its tail to its owner and took the card from him, her smile froze on her face.
