Chapter 270 I treat you like a best friend, but you want to be my sister-in-law?
Lin Xueyao had settled into her home. After breakfast, Ye Lan, who was washing the dishes, received a message from her younger sister.
"Brother, how far have things progressed between you and your wife? When are you planning to start trying for a baby?"
Ye Lan put the washed dishes and chopsticks into the cupboard, took out a tissue to wipe the water off her hands, and then picked up her phone to reply to messages.
"Study hard at school and stop reading romance novels all day long. Your brother failed to get into university because he stayed up all night reading fantasy novels."
Ye Wanying pouted angrily and said, "No way, you clearly passed the exam but didn't go to study."
“There’s no point in getting a regular undergraduate degree; you’ll be unemployed after graduation and still face the awkward situation of not having a job.”
Ye Wanying: "That's true..."
With the widespread popularization of education in my country, the value of academic qualifications is becoming increasingly depreciated. Coupled with the unfavorable economic environment, students from ordinary undergraduate colleges have almost no way out.
There's a very sharp comment online: you were born to work hard and toil, you just happened to have studied a few more years than others.
Since the outcome cannot be changed, let's skip the process.
"So, brother, when are you planning to marry your wife?"
"Let's talk about it when Mom and Dad get back. Besides, I haven't met your sister-in-law's biological father yet. Marriage is a major life event, and both sets of parents need to agree."
"Then stop playing games all day and spend more time with your sister-in-law. She's much more attached to you than I am."
"Yeah, I had to feed him even to eat his noodles. It's really tough on a straight man like me."
As Ye Wanying read the message, images of her older brother and sister-in-law being affectionate automatically flashed through her mind. Thinking of their sweetness, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, and a maternal smile appeared on her face.
Li Chuxi, carrying a tray of food, sat down next to Ye Wanying. Her chest was bulging and full, as if she had two cantaloupes stuffed inside. I wonder if she gets tired carrying these two burdens when she runs during morning exercises.
"Wanying, we're best friends, so please give me your brother's contact information."
Li Chuxi clung tightly to Ye Wanying's arm, determined not to let go until the other party relented.
Ye Wanying, who was eating, was so disturbed that she couldn't concentrate on her meal. She put down her chopsticks and angrily shouted, "Li Chuxi, it's precisely because I know what kind of person you are that I haven't given you my brother's contact information."
"You're such a looks-obsessed person whose values are dictated by appearance. If a guy who's even more handsome than my brother comes along, you'll definitely run off with him like a cat with its tail between your legs."
Ye Wanying knew all too well what kind of person Li Chuxi was.
In a high school where dating is forbidden, this guy changes boyfriends faster than he changes clothes, and they're mostly tall, fit athletes.
This promiscuous person is absolutely not good enough for my brother!
Ye Wanying thought to herself.
"Impossible. There's absolutely no man in the world more handsome than your brother. Besides, what do you have to worry about with my looks? I'm got a great figure, and I guarantee I'll give your family a dozen big, healthy boys."
Li Chuxi went to great lengths to become Ye Wanying's sister-in-law.
Ye Wanying's eyebrows furrowed in anger as she retorted, "Did you ignore what I said last time? My brother already has a girlfriend!"
Facing Ye Wanying, whose face was contorted with rage and who was on the verge of exploding, Li Chuxi remained unmoved, a nonchalant smile still playing on her lips, her tone flippant:
"I've thought about it carefully. You're probably trying to make me back down by saying that. Actually, your brother doesn't have a girlfriend at all, am I right?"
Li Chuxi felt she was incredibly intelligent, her large, bright eyes sparkling as if she could see through all the lies in the world.
"hehe."
Ye Wanying couldn't help but snort, feeling that if she didn't wake this guy up, she would live in her arrogant world forever.
With her right hand being held by the other person, she used her left hand to unlock her phone. The lock screen wallpaper was a picture taken that day on the bank of the East River when Ye Lan and Lin Xueyao were kissing.
The Oriental Pearl Tower in the background shimmered with colorful neon lights, reflected on the river surface, making the profiles of the two people exceptionally clear.
Li Chuxi stared blankly at the photo. Even though it was just a side profile and the lighting wasn't very bright, it still couldn't hide the other person's stunning beauty.
The profile of that face was as if it had been meticulously sculpted by a skilled craftsman with a sharp blade, smooth and graceful, with every turn perfectly placed.
"W-w-w... Your brother is dating a big star?" Li Chuxi was so shocked that she could barely speak.
Compared to such stunningly beautiful women, his own appearance was a joke.
Moreover, the other person was wearing a thick down jacket, but their figure was still very prominent and obvious, so my proud figure was completely useless.
Looking at her distraught best friend, Ye Wanying couldn't help but smile smugly.
"See? Compared to my sister-in-law, you have absolutely no chance of winning."
Li Chuxi's expression froze instantly, and her smile vanished without a trace. Compared to her confident demeanor just moments before, she was completely different.
"Even if she's prettier and has a better figure than me, marriage can't be based on appearances alone; financial strength is also very important."
“You know how well-off my family is. We own three shops and two houses. My dad has already said that when I get married, he will give me one shop and one house as my dowry. Your brother will marry a rich woman like me and won’t have to go to work every day anymore.”
Ye Wanying laughed inwardly, thinking that her best friend had gone crazy. She couldn't compare to her sister-in-law in terms of looks and figure, but could she compare in terms of economic strength?
She probably doesn't know how rich her sister-in-law's family is.
Ye Wanying raised her right arm and shook her sleeve, revealing a gold openwork bracelet on her slender, snow-white wrist.
"This is a gift from my sister-in-law. It's made of pure gold and cost tens of thousands of yuan. Unlike some people, who always mooch off me even when they're eating spicy snacks."
A blush rose to Li Chuxi's pretty face. "You...you and your brother must have been deceived by that woman."
Ye Wanying patted the other person's shoulder with heartache in her eyes, "If you have time, you can go on Douyin and search for an ID called 'Lin Xueyao' to see her life, and then look at yourself. You might redefine the word 'rich woman'."
After saying that, Ye Wanying gently picked up her lunchbox and walked lightly toward the sink to wash it.
Undeterred, Li Chuxi opened the Douyin app and entered "Lin Xueyao" in the search bar.
But the moment she entered the other party's homepage, the last glimmer of hope in her heart vanished completely.
Global tourism, snow-capped mountains and glaciers, luxurious backyards, castle-like houses, princess-like dresses, sports cars with wings...
Li Chuxi was momentarily dazed. The boundary between reality and fairy tale suddenly blurred in her eyes, making it difficult for her to distinguish between the two.
The words Ye Wanying said before she left echoed in my mind.
"You might redefine the term 'rich woman'."
