Chapter 149 - 146: Imparting Life Experience
"Long Wu, why are you being so cryptic?" Leng Mochen voiced his displeasure. Long Wu was downright chatty, babbling about anything with anyone.
Long Wu chuckled helplessly, "See? I haven’t even said anything yet, and Leng Er is already so worked up! Is it really necessary? I’m just sharing some life tips and principles with Sisi, that’s all."
"We don’t need any of your nonsense! Sisi, don’t listen to him ramble! Nothing decent comes out of his mouth!" Leng Mochen scoffed. He might not know Long Wu inside and out, but at least fifty percent of what made him tick was clear: besides his known business acumen, his mind was preoccupied with chasing women. What sensible advice could he possibly offer?
"It’s fine! What’s the harm in listening?" Li Si shot him a reassuring glance.
Long Wu exaggeratedly clapped his hands, "See? This is what I call a kindred spirit, a true confidant! Sisi, honestly, my point is simple. Financially, you’re certainly not lacking. You’ve made millions just off me, but outsiders don’t know that. So tell me, won’t people have the perception that you’re dependent on Leng Er? Especially if it comes to his family—might they think that way too?"
He understood the thoughts of these people well and voiced his concerns to prevent Li Si from being complacent. Leng Er’s mother had been fiercely opposed to his previous relationship with Xuanxuan’s family due to their insufficient financial standing. Who’s to say the current approval of their relationship was not just a stalling tactic? And what about the future? These matters demand careful consideration.
Li Si nodded as she listened. What he said resonated with her deeply; it was true given the current circumstances. Tradition always valued matching social status.
On the surface, it seemed like she and Leng Mochen were worlds apart in status—if she were to describe it, she might as well be the impoverished Cinderella, while he was the wealthy prince.
Meanwhile, unlike the jovial atmosphere surrounding Li Si, the Ye Family mentioned by them was now immersed in an air of tension and gravity.
Ye Cheng, the head of the Ye Family, had no idea where his tie was, and two buttons of his suit shirt were casually undone.
