Chapter 290: Envious to Death, Brother!

Guessing is one thing, but confirming it is another.

Hearing this, Shen Jiaqing's eyes widened larger than eggs. Holy crap! My little brother is about to reach the heavens; not only does he have a girlfriend in the open, but in secret, he's also having an affair with another top-tier, stunning beauty.

At the mere thought of Wu Yue'er's enchanting, curvaceous figure and her peerless, seductive face, Shen Jiaqing felt his throat go as dry as the wind-blown sand in a desert.

Although he hadn't met that girlfriend in the open, given the beauties surrounding him, for Shen Yan to make that kind of choice, she must be another gorgeous stunner.

Damn! How does my little brother have the ability to win the favor of two top-tier beauties at the same time?

The most crucial part is that, even with one of them knowing, she is still willing to be with my little brother.

A master of romance couldn't do much better than this.

One must know that Wu Yue'er is no slouch; she is a top student at a prestigious university and born as beautiful as a fairy. Unless Shen Yan has heaven-defying methods, Shen Jiaqing can find no reason to explain it.

"Little brother, how did you manage it? How is that long-legged beauty so willing to follow you?"

Shen Yan replied: "My situation with her is quite complicated. You've never been in a relationship, so you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Just do me a favor and don't mention this to anyone."

"Huff! Huff!"

Feeling like he'd been dealt a blow, Shen Jiaqing clutched his chest and took two deep breaths. Damn it! Is it against the law to have never been in a relationship? To be looked down upon like this!

Sob sob sob!

Just mentioning this brings tears to his eyes. An eighteen-year-old boy is entangled with two great beauties, while he himself is six years older than Shen Yan and still a total novice.

Is this reasonable?

That stings, buddy!

Shen Jiaqing asked bitterly: "So you're just going to keep hiding it like this? Paper can't wrap up fire; if I could run into it today, others will discover it in the future."

"We'll see when the time comes. Don't you worry about it; I have a way to handle it." Shen Yan continued taping, looking completely fearless.

It wasn't that Shen Jiaqing was worried about his little brother—with his little brother's skill in picking up girls, he was ten thousand times better than him anyway—he was purely feeling sour inside.

What man doesn't hope to have a beauty in each arm? Especially when he doesn't even have one.

"Little brother, you're more capable. Teach me how to chase girls. My mom has been forcing me to go on blind dates lately, telling me to hurry up and start a family so she can hold a big grandson."

Shen Yan said: "Sincerity is the ultimate move; putting in effort is the most important thing. If you can read more books on flirting and be humorous from time to time, it's easier to attract girls."

Shen Jiaqing treated his little brother's words as divine truth, nodding repeatedly and asking him to impart more experience, so Shen Yan began to talk eloquently.

He mainly spoke about which women are suitable for living a life together and which women are gold on the outside but rotten on the inside, judging character through details. The whole talk was full of practical advice.

Shen Jiaqing frowned in deep thought one moment and had a sudden realization the next.

After Shen Yan mentioned it, he realized he had missed so many subtle details in life.

"You're high-level, little brother. You really are different now." Shen Jiaqing gave a thumbs up.

Shen Yan grinned and asked how his work was going and if he still planned to go to Shanghai after the New Year. Shen Jiaqing said with certainty that it was a must; his resignation letter had already been approved.

Currently, Shen Jiaqing was just an idler; otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much time to go on blind dates.

After sticking up the couplets and the 'Fu' character, Shen Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction.

First line: Years drift by, filled with good fortune.

Second line: Family traditions upright, laughter lasts long.

Horizontal scroll: Harmony in the family brings prosperity to all things.

Perfect!

After finishing, Shen Yan returned inside. He didn't want to deal with Shen Liangcheng and his wife, but the two were too enthusiastic and insisted on pulling him over to chat.

He had no choice but to sit down on the sofa.

"Xiaoyan, I heard from your grandma that you're selling clothes on Taobao and the business is quite good. How much money do you make a month?" Sun Huifang asked with a beaming smile.

Shen Yan said not much, just enough for his own expenses.

A trace of displeasure arose in Sun Huifang's heart: "Xiaoyan, you're being too humble. Buying massage chairs and treadmills, and buying clothes for your grandma—you spend ten thousand yuan at a time. How many ordinary people are as wealthy as you?"

"Your little aunt always said you'd definitely have a bright future when you grew up, and I was right. We're all family; if you have a way to get rich, you have to think of your own people."

The eldest uncle, Shen Liangping, ran a noodle shop. Under his guidance, Huang Meili also learned a good craft. Through their joint efforts, while not exactly wealthy, they were much better off than the average person and lived a prosperous life.

The little uncle, Shen Liangcheng, was much worse off. He didn't have much ability but had high aspirations, the type who looked down on small money but couldn't earn big money.

Years ago, he went into business and lost everything. Currently, he relied on running a fruit shop to make a living. Arriving at the Shen Family today, upon hearing that Shen Yan seemed to have made a fortune, he immediately started calculating.

Hearing Sun Huifang's undisguised tactics, Shen Yan finally realized. No wonder their attitudes were so different before and after; it turned out they were asking for favors.

If eldest uncle Shen Liangping had said this, Shen Yan would have had no objections and would have helped him out, but as for little uncle Shen Liangcheng... he really couldn't help.

"Little aunt, please don't misunderstand. Grandma raised me with great hardship. Now that I've finally earned some money, it's only natural to show filial piety to Grandma. I'm not some rich person."

Shen Liangping, who was busy in the kitchen, heard this and felt greatly comforted: "Xiaoyan, your eldest uncle is very happy you have this heart. At least your grandma didn't love you for nothing."

"It's only right, it's only right," Shen Yan said from the bottom of his heart.

Now Shen Liangcheng and his wife were confused, unable to tell if Shen Yan was truly broke or just putting on an act.

Just as they wanted to continue questioning...

"Click!" The sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.

The next moment, Yu Youwei and Shen Nainai appeared at the door. Yu Youwei was wearing a newly bought khaki long coat and a pair of polished Martin boots, looking youthful and beautiful.

After entering, facing those scrutinizing eyes, Yu Youwei didn't show the slightest bit of shyness. She greeted everyone sweetly and then handed a bag to Shen Yan.

"Here! I know you like eating pistachios, so I bought them specially for you."

Shen Yan accepted them happily, taking the opportunity to slip away. He stepped forward and put his arm around Yu Youwei's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go inside and talk."

As the bedroom door closed, the few people in the living room looked at each other.

Sun Huifang asked in surprise: "Mom, didn't you say Xiaoyan was dating a girlfriend at school? What's the situation with this girl next door?"

Shen Nainai didn't like this daughter-in-law, who was almost cut from the same cloth as her youngest son, but she still explained: "They are just good friends; they've been close since they were little."

The others suddenly realized.

Only Shen Jiaqing had a suspicious and uncertain expression. His little brother's ability to pick up girls was heaven-defying; since he could have an affair with Wu Yue'er, it didn't seem impossible for there to be another one like Yu Youwei.

Perhaps there are other women hidden even deeper.

Hiss!

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaqing could not help but gasp, damn! Little brother, just how many debts of love have you provoked? I'm so envious I could die.
