Super Rich by Doing as You Please

"Seriously, Yu Xuan, you’ve been holding out on us."

Hearing this, Li Jinshu was instantly envious. "I can’t believe you’re so rich! You’re a total rich girl."

"Um, I didn’t buy it."

Yu Xuan said, a little embarrassed, "I have to go to a party with my boss today. He said my old outfit wasn’t good enough, so he took me shopping for this yesterday."

Li Jinshu was speechless.

’Xu Yun bought it. Xu Yun actually bought it for her.’

’Just for some party, he bought her a whole luxury outfit?’

’Then what does that make me?’

’He kept me up all night long, and I even called him ’daddy’!’

Depressed, she sank onto the sofa in silence.

’That jerk Xu Yun, all he knows is how to bully me.’

Li Jinshu said enviously, "Yu Xuan, Xu Yun is way too good to you. That’s more like how you’d treat a girlfriend, not a secretary."

"Jinshu, you don’t need to be envious."

Su Mu smiled and said, "You’ve forgotten you’re driving his Bentley that’s worth millions."

"Uh..." Li Jinshu trailed off.

’Susu has a point. When I look at it that way, he does seem to treat me better.’

’But I’ll have to give it back to Xu Yun eventually.’

’I can’t just shamelessly keep driving it forever.’

"I’m just driving it for the next few days."

Li Jinshu said, a bit reluctantly, "He’s going to a party today, so I’ll definitely have to give the car back to him."

"You don’t have to."

Yu Xuan said, "My boss brought home another new car yesterday. He has something to drive."

"He bought another car?"

Li Jinshu asked in surprise, "What kind? How much money did he burn on it?"

"Another Bentley. This time it’s a black, two-door Continental GT coupe."

Yu Xuan answered, "From what the boss said, I think it was also over three million."

Li Jinshu was speechless.

Su Mu frowned as well.

’Does he really have so much money he doesn’t know what to do with it?’

’What’s he buying so many cars for!’

’A Porsche, a Bentley Flying Spur, and now a Continental GT. He’s bought three cars in less than a month.’

Su Mu suddenly started doing some mental math.

’In just this past month, how much has he actually spent?’

’Never mind the small stuff, just counting the big-ticket items...’

’A house for over six million, three cars for over eight million, fifty million to start a company, and a watch for over three million.’

’All the other miscellaneous expenses must add up to at least another million.’

’All told, he’s spent nearly seventy million!’

’And that’s just what I know about. What about the things I don’t?’

’God knows how much he’s spent.’

This brought up another question.

’Just how much money did Xu Yun make in the international capital markets recently?’

’To be able to spend money like this, to dare to spend money like this!’

At least in Su Mu’s experience, in her social circles, this was something she couldn’t even imagine, something she had never encountered.

Her family was wealthy, yes, but only when compared to ordinary people.

In her mind, perhaps only the scions of industry titans, moguls worth billions or even tens of billions, could spend money so recklessly.

Now, Xu Yun was giving her that exact impression.

Before, she felt she had a slight edge over Xu Yun. But lately, as she got a clearer picture of his spending habits, her confidence had completely evaporated.

When a person loses their confidence, a sense of crisis—or insecurity—starts to set in.

This was why she’d been so bothered and unhappy lately about Xu Yun ignoring the fact that she was going on a blind date.

’Because she was starting to think, could it be that Xu Yun didn’t care about her at all?’

’That she was disposable to him.’

She could accept the nature of their relationship, but she couldn’t accept being ignored.

She could be Xu Yun’s secret lover, sneaking around for their time together every day.

But at the very least, there should be feelings between them, a mutual affection.

She wouldn’t be his toy, his bed warmer, existing only to satisfy their mutual physical needs!

For women, emotion always outweighs physical desire.

Su Mu asked, "Yu Xuan, what kind of person do you think your boss is?"

"I don’t know."

Yu Xuan paused for a moment before continuing, "But he’s definitely not a bad person. He wouldn’t use his wealth to bully people."

"Susu, why are you asking this?"

Li Jinshu asked, "Do you feel like you can’t figure Xu Yun out? I feel the same way."

"No reason. I was just curious."

Su Mu smiled. "Alright, it’s about time for me. I’m heading out to my blind date. Wish me luck."

"Mm-hmm."

Li Jinshu smiled. "Hope it’s a roaring success! I hope you meet your Prince Charming—rich and handsome."

’She genuinely hoped Su Mu’s date would be a success. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about her competing for Xu Yun.’

’Even though she was just his secret lover now, every girl dreamed of being the one and only.’

After Xu Yun got up and washed, he opened his door to head over, only to run into Su Mu in the hallway. She was just leaving her own apartment, getting ready for her blind date.

Seeing each other, Xu Yun smiled and asked, "Where are you off to?"

"A blind date."

Su Mu retorted, "What, you want to come with me?"

"Nope. But that outfit is really ugly."

Xu Yun pursed his lips. "Why don’t you just skip it? You don’t want your date to be put off."

"You’re the only one who thinks so."

Su Mu said provocatively, "If I don’t go, am I supposed to expect you to take care of me for the rest of my life?"

"If that’s what you want, it’s not like I couldn’t."

Su Mu was speechless.

She was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I can’t get out of it this time. My family gave me an ultimatum. I have to at least go and make an appearance."

"Let’s get one thing straight."

Xu Yun said, "Just meet him. You’re not allowed to even have a meal together."

"What, are you afraid I’ll actually cheat on you?"

Su Mu felt a little cared for, and her mood brightened. She smiled. "Then why won’t you come with me? Are you really that confident?"

"I have confidence in myself. After all, anyone more handsome than me isn’t as rich, and anyone richer than me isn’t as handsome."
