Super Rich by Doing as You Please

"What’s the meaning of this?"

Qiao Yuanshan looked at Xu Yun, then glanced at his own blind date, trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Miss Su, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?"

Qiao Yuanshan said angrily, "You came here with me, as my date. Now you’re with him. What does that make me?"

"I’m terribly sorry."

Su Mu said apologetically, "I only went on this blind date with you to appease my family.

The truth is, I already have a boyfriend. It’s the man standing next to me."

"So you agreed to come to this party with me because of him, too?"

"Yes."

Su Mu admitted frankly, "I’m sorry. I used you. I truly am sorry."

"But you saw it too."

Qiao Yuanshan said, "He came to this party with other women today, not you!"

"I know."

"You know? And you’re not angry?"

Qiao Yuanshan was confused. "This proves you like him, but he clearly doesn’t like you back! He’s fooling around with other women."

"That’s none of your business."

Su Mu said to Xu Yun, "Let’s go over there."

"Okay."

"..." Qiao Yuanshan.

He watched the two of them leave, fuming. But he just couldn’t understand it.

’Why is Su Mu so tolerant of that man!’

He had thought he could use this party as an opportunity to get closer to her, maybe even get things done in one go.

But who knew? He was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He was the one who had been used instead.

Just as he was feeling frustrated and resentful, he saw the two women who had been with Xu Yun earlier that day.

A plan formed in his mind.

Holding his wine glass, Qiao Yuanshan quickly approached them and said with a smile, "Hello there."

"Can I help you?"

Yu Xuan recognized him. ’He’s the man who was with Su Mu this afternoon!’

"Oh, it’s nothing major."

Qiao Yuanshan said, "Did you know that your boyfriend is having an affair with Su Mu?

They’re over there having a secret rendezvous right now."

"Oh," Yu Xuan replied.

Song Xiaowei showed no expression at all.

’Oh? That’s it?’

Seeing their calm reactions, Qiao Yuanshan asked in confusion, "Aren’t you going to go ask him what’s going on? Aren’t you going to rein him in?"

"Rein him in for what?"

Yu Xuan looked at him like he was an idiot. "He’s my boss. He can do whatever he wants. What right do I have to control him?"

"Boss?"

Qiao Yuanshan asked in surprise, "Aren’t you two a couple?"

"Nope. I’m his personal secretary."

Yu Xuan then introduced Song Xiaowei, who was standing beside her. "And she is a friend of our boss."

"..." Qiao Yuanshan.

’Coming to a party like this, and he brings a female secretary instead of his girlfriend?’

No wonder Xu Yun and Su Mu didn’t seem to care. It turned out there was nothing to care about in the first place.

His plan having failed, he turned and walked away, his retreating figure looking a little lonely.

The happiness was for everyone else; it had nothing to do with him.

He’d been the clown from start to finish.

He would remember this grudge.

The evening party was uninspired—just eating, drinking, and people who’d met during the day making small talk about business.

An orchestra had even been hired to play on stage, setting the mood for the dinner.

Meanwhile, Xu Yun and Su Mu had already slipped back to the lakeside cabin.

The two, who hadn’t had a chance for some "deep communication" for a few days, began their "nightly reading activity."

Because earlier that afternoon, Su Mu had promised Xu Yun that if he caught a fish, she would let him do whatever he wanted with her tonight.

So Xu Yun didn’t hold back, suggesting many positions and requests that Su Mu had previously refused to go along with.

Back at the party, Yu Xuan didn’t see her boss and decided to go back to the cabin to check.

But as soon as she stepped inside, she heard seductive sounds she wasn’t supposed to hear.

Her face turned red, and she immediately backed out!

’The boss is very busy right now and doesn’t want to be disturbed.’

Seeing Song Xiaowei, who was right behind her, still heading inside, she grabbed her arm. "Come on, let’s go for another walk outside."

"???" Song Xiaowei.

But her confusion didn’t last more than three seconds before she realized what was happening.

The two exchanged awkward smiles and backed away.

Yu Xuan, in particular, didn’t know whether to feel happy or disappointed.

Because if things had developed normally, and if Su Mu weren’t here, she would be the one inside with the boss right now.

「In Jinyuan, Jiangcheng.」

Li Jinshu was bored sitting at home alone. She was watching TV while scrolling through short videos on her phone.

As she scrolled, she suddenly came across a fishing video.

She wasn’t interested in fishing, but the man in this short video was none other than Xu Yun.

It turned out that someone had filmed Xu Yun with the three women during the day, capturing the moment he caught the huge fish, and uploaded it as a short video.

Because the footage was so satisfying to watch, it quickly went viral, and the platform began promoting it heavily to users.

She was genuinely surprised that Xu Yun could catch such a big fish.

But what surprised her even more was seeing Su Mu in the video, in addition to Yu Xuan!

"Didn’t Su Mu go on a blind date today?"

"Why is she with Xu Yun?"

"And who is that other young, beautiful woman with him?"

Li Jinshu’s mind was now filled with questions.

She picked up her phone and called Xu Yun, wanting to ask what was going on.

But the call connected, and no one answered.

Next, she tried calling Su Mu, but again, the call went unanswered.

"Neither of them are picking up my calls?"

Li Jinshu had no choice but to try calling Yu Xuan.

Fortunately, after a few seconds, Yu Xuan answered.

Li Jinshu asked, "Hello, Yu Xuan? Where are you?"

"I’m at a party with the boss."

Yu Xuan asked in return, "Miss Li, what’s wrong?"
