Chapter 154: How Much It Costs Has Nothing to Do With Me

It was just that no one expected the Liu family to actually set their sights on Chuxue's bonus money, and Liu Shangan had the audacity to come right to Chuxue's new house.

Fu Yan Cheng, still sulking because Chuxue had stopped him from standing up for her earlier, was fussing over Zhui Feng.

His little move naturally didn't escape Chuxue's eyes: "Alright, stop being angry. I didn't let you get involved just because I didn't want things to get more complicated. In a few days, once this is handled, we won't need to hide our relationship anymore."

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng about to say something, Chuxue raised her hand to stop him: "I know what you're thinking, but I don't want them to use our situation as an excuse. Do you understand what I mean?"

Fu Yan Cheng seized the opportunity: "Then next time I come over, can we make our relationship public?"

Chuxue didn't expect him to make such a request and found it somewhat amusing for a moment.

Fu Yan Cheng, fearing Chuxue would find an excuse to refuse, said: "I'm serious about you; I'm aiming for marriage. You have to give me a proper title, don't you?"

Chuxue was truly impressed by this guy; how could he be so shameless? They had only just confirmed their relationship, yet he was already asking for a title before they'd even started dating: "You really are..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Yan Cheng said: "I will definitely come over often when I have time in the future. If there's no title, I'm afraid it might affect you badly."

Chuxue was amused by him: "Should I thank you for thinking of me?"

Fu Yan Cheng was about to say something when he saw someone running over: "Chuxue, your eldest uncle is coming this way."

Chuxue walked a few steps toward the slope and saw Liu Shangan approaching with his head down from far away: "Judging by his demeanor, it doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble."

Hearing Chuxue say that, the person relaxed: "Alright, keep an eye out. I'll go get back to work first."

Fu Yan Cheng stood beside Chuxue: "If he gets too excessive in a moment, don't blame me for demanding a title early."

He absolutely refused to let anyone bully the young girl again and again.

Chuxue glanced at him and didn't answer directly: "You go ahead and busy yourself first."

Saying that, she went to find Liu's father and mother.

She told them the news that Liu Shangan was coming this way: "I don't care what his intentions are; just push everything onto me. Understand?"

Liu's father couldn't sit idle; seeing everyone busy, he didn't want to just sit there, so he asked Liu's mother to bring the thorny branches he had cut on the mountain last winter, lit a fire with wood shavings, and was now weaving a backpack basket.

Just as they had finished agreeing on this, they saw Liu Shangan walking over.

He probably knew it was a bit awkward to appear at this moment, so he rubbed his hands and said: "Second brother, this house was built quite quickly."

Liu Shanliang had no intention of paying him any attention and sped up his hand movements.

Seeing that Liu Shanliang wasn't speaking, Liu Shangan coughed lightly and asked on his own: "Building this house must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Liu Shanliang stuck a bundle of thorny branches into the ash: "This has nothing to do with you."

Seeing that the second brother finally spoke, Liu Shangan said: "I was just asking casually."

Liu Shanliang didn't want him to be an eyesore here: "You didn't care before, and you don't need to now. If there's nothing else, just go back."

Liu Shangan looked around: "Second brother, even though you've split from the family and live separately, we are still one family."

Liu Shanliang lost his patience immediately: "Stop with these old clichés; I really don't want to hear them."

Liu Shangan tried to suppress his anger: "Second brother, the Ge family has been relentless. The secretary and the village head mediated for a long time before they finally agreed to settle for three hundred yuan."

Liu Shanliang wove the backpack basket skillfully: "How much it costs has nothing to do with me whatsoever. You don't need to run over and tell me this; after all, I've already split off and live separately."
