Chapter 34.2

“Okay, it’s really late now. Shuyan, go and wash up. I’ll drive you to school after you finish your breakfast, so you won’t be late for class.”

Luo Tianyuan thought for a while, and decided to regain his composure as a father, and deliberately said with a straight face, “But what Shen Yan said today is true, you must have the right attitude towards learning. Shuyan, you shouldn’t laze in bed, you should sleep early and get up early.”

Luo Shuyan nodded bitterly.

She also wanted to get up early, but she couldn’t.

Luo Tianyuan blinked at his daughter again, “Okay, you can stay in bed for five minutes, only five minutes, no more.”

Luo Shuyan shook her head, “I just hope that winter will pass quickly, or for winter vacation to come soon.”

Shen Yan was very satisfied with Luo Shuyan’s act of getting up. He couldn’t help but nod and said: “Congratulations, you are one step closer to getting into a good university.”

Luo Shuyan: “…”

Was she the time-traveler, or was he the time-traveler?

He wasn’t acting like a seven-year-old boy at all. How could a seven-year-old boy talk about university?

Song Chaoyang was very concerned about Song Wanqing’s affairs. Not only did it come from a place of concern as her little brother, but it was also for his own benefit.

He knew that his sister was well-off, beautiful, and a talented student who had returned from abroad. With such conditions, her future blind date would either be the son of a company in the provincial capital, or even someone from the capital city.

He thought that since he and his sister were siblings, she should put his interests first. After all, she will live a good life when he does well in the future. Unfortunately, his sister has been spoiled by the family all these years, and she doesn’t know how to act within her family’s limits, and neither could she come to terms with reality. She even neglected the rich person arranged by her family for the poor man.

Even if his father doesn’t speak up about this matter, he will take matters into his own hands and solve it.

Song Zhaoyang wasn’t a fool without brains. It was unrealistic for him to target his sister; the girl was spoiled rotten. The more her family obstructs her, the more motivated she will be. Hence, he had to work on exterminating Luo Tianyuan.

Men know men best, and Song Zhaoyang didn’t need to think much to come up with a perfect solution.

What do men value most? The answer was self-esteem. Song Zhaoyang will ruin Luo Tianyuan’s self-esteem. That will warn him to stay far away from the Song family in the future.

Song Zhaoyang had an idea, so he didn’t want to waste any more time. He asked his family’s driver to drive out the latest and most expensive imported car they had in the garage.

After driving to the door of the logistics company where Luo Tianyuan was located, Song Zhaoyang spotted Luo Tianyuan after a while.

In all fairness, Luo Tianyuan, regardless of his upbringing, would indeed attract the attention of many people while he was walking in the crowd.

Song Zhaoyang had inquired. He found out that he was a graduate of a prestigious university. Although he didn’t like him very much, he still respected the man. However, whatever he found next made him disappointed. Luo Tianyuan was a good college student who chose to not work in a big city, but instead returned to his hometown to be an verage employee. A monthly salary of 1,000 Yuan was pretty good, but for the Song family, 1,000 Yuan was worth nothing!

Wanqing wasn’t married yet, so she didn’t understand the importance of marrying into a well-to-do family. She would definitely go crazy if she were to become a stepmother and marry an ordinary person to live a life of mediocrity. Love would conquer all when they were deeply in love, however, if she were to marry him, she would definitely find out what it means to be a poor and humble couple.

Luo Tianyuan was going to pick up his daughter from school today, but before he got to the car, he saw a person walking towards him.

“Is it Mr. Luo?”

Luo Tianyuan hesitated for a moment, “Yes.”

“My employer would like to invite you for a quick chat.” The driver thought for a while, and then added, “My employer is Miss Wanqing’s brother.”

Luo Tianyuan didn’t think too much about it. Since he made it clear to Song Wanqing last time, the two haven’t seen each other again. They had ended things. Why was Song Wanqing’s brother looking for him now? Could something have happened to Song Wanqing?

After all, he had once liked the woman… Luo Tianyuan hesitated for a moment before following the driver.

Song Chaoyang looked gentle, and he greeted Luo Tianyuan politely. It wasn’t until the two of them were seated in the teahouse box opposite the company that Song Zhaoyang said, “Mr. Luo, you should know that our family only has one girl in this generation, Wanqing, and the elders in the family love her very much, so they are receptive towards her requests. Whatever she wants, someone will find a way to give her. Previously, my parents had introduced Wanqing to someone who was well-matched to our status. Unfortunately, Wanqing didn’t like him. Later, I found out that her heart belonged to someone else.”

Luo Tianyuan didn’t know what Song Chaoyang was trying to say, so he waited silently for the next sentence.

“She’s my only younger sister. Now that I know she has someone she fancies, I won’t force her to do something she doesn’t like. Seeing her sad makes me feel bad, but the elders in the family are also very disappointed, saying that she didn’t take on the responsibility of this generation properly. I think differently from them. It ‘s a man’s duty to work hard, which is my duty as an older brother. My sister should live happily, nothing else matters.”

Song Zhaoyang spoke very emotionally, but Luo Tianyuan’s expression was flat.

“I discussed it with my parents and came up with a good idea, so I’m here to talk to you today. Here goes nothing. Wanqing has been spoiled since she was a child. She has the best food, clothing and housing. I can’t bear it. After she gets married, she will live in a dormitory, and she has to run around for daily necessities. Mr. Luo, as long as you are willing to join our family, I will try to get them to agree. Wan Qing’s girl-friends are likely to marry the rich and wealthy. In order to prevent her from losing contact with her friends, I suggest that you quit your current job here and come to our company. Don’t worry, I will definitely arrange a good job for you.”

“You’ll live with us after you get married. I heard that you have a daughter… Actually, our family also likes children very much, but…”

Before Song Chaoyang could finish speaking, the man sitting opposite him gently interrupted him, and said with a smile, “Mr. Song, I think you’re mistaken.”

Luo Tianyuan still had a distant smile on his face as he said, “Miss Song and I are just friends. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. We haven’t been together in the past, we aren’t now, and neither are we going to be together in the future. Please feel rest assured about this.”

Song Chaoyang: “…”

He hasn’t even finished yet.

Wasn’t this going too well? Or was Luo Tianyuan’s self-esteem more important than he imagined, and he can’t even accept marrying into their family?

Or could Wanqing’s feelings have been one-sided all along?
