“Hmm, then I guess I’ll have to apologize. Sorry, I’m afraid I’m not letting you pass this round.” Cren Wellington said with an uneasy expression. He continued, “It does not matter whether one is wealthy or not, but one definitely has to be compatible in terms of quality. Zhao Zhe, I’m not aiming at you, it doesn’t matter if you don’t live up to others’ expectations. But if it’s concerning Elin and Youxiong, I’m definitely going to interfere and make sure they get the right match!”
Zhao Zhe smiled, and did not seem to mind, “Cren, let the children do what they deem fit. Actually, as long as they like it, everything else isn’t important.”
Elin’s mother gave a wide smile. She was happy, but at the same time she knew that her brother was trying to help out of goodwill. All these years, whenever the family had faced difficulties, Cren was always there to lend a helping hand.
“Uncle Cren, can we not talk about this today?” Elin said, “I want to follow my feelings. Even if it doesn’t work out eventually, I wouldn’t want to attribute it to other people. Besides, I like it and I’m sure you’ll wish that I will be happy.”
Cren was stunned. This young lady was a replica of her mother when she was young. He had doubts over his sister’s choice then. Feelings… are feelings really that reliable? He had felt that Zhao Zhe was going to be a poor teacher for life, and it was pointless for them to be together.
Yan Xiaosu kept it in. Honestly speaking, if not for Elin, if someone else were to be this arrogant and cocky in front of him, Yan Xiaosu would have given him a piece of his mind. At least within the territories of the Solar System, there were not many who dared to give him such an attitude.
The place was livened up the moment Cren had arrived. And Elin took the opportunity to leave while pulling Yan Xiaosu along. She apologised, “Xiaosu, I’m really sorry, my uncle…”
“Silly girl, I’m not looking for your uncle to be my girlfriend. You’re the one. Don’t worry, I can accept everything in life with my huge tummy.” Yan Xiaosu said as he tapped his tummy. And then he exclaimed, “Ah, seems like it’s time to cut down some weight.”
Elin Zhao let out a laugh, “Speaking of which, we’ve known each other for over ten days and I have yet to meet your group of friends?”
“Ah, my bad. I have two best buddies, they’re like my siblings who go through thick and thin together with me. Give me a moment.” Yan Xiaosu said as he opened his Skylink.
Well, this trip to the Zhao’s was worth it. At least he had made a step forward, and Yan Xiaosu was definite that Elin Zhao was the one he was looking for.
“Hey brother, there’s someone important that I want to introduce to you.”
Wang Zheng crawled up from his bed in the middle of the night and said, “Hey, do you know what time is it now? Who’s the one? So highly regarded that you have to ring me up at this hour?”
“Your future sister-in-law, now can you tell me if this is important or not?”
“What, why didn’t you tell me earlier. Let me go and get changed!” Wang Zheng laughed. Actually he was taken by surprise, because Xiaosu had become a little cynical after his past relationships with Yue Jing and An Mei. So what was this all about?
But after seeing Elin Zhao, Wang Zheng seemed like he understood it all. She was someone whom Yan Xiaosu could find serenity and happiness in. He was truly happy for Yan Xiaosu. It was not easy for one to be able to meet his true love. For one to be able to find someone he really loves, it was not easy.
Yan Xiaosu closed his Skylink. He knew Wang Zheng was happy for him too. He had made the right choice this time round, and he knew that Wang Zheng’s foresight was always reliable.
“He’s still schooling?” Elin Zhao asked out of curiosity.
“Let me tell you, my dearest brother is someone exceptional and amazing. We have sworn to take over the Milky Way Alliance together!”
Yan Xiaosu was exaggerating a little, but Elin laughed nonetheless.
“There’s another one who is on the Moon. I’ll bring you to see her tomorrow.” Yan Xiaosu said, “And, I just wanted to say this, I… might be different from what you think of me.”
Elin Zhao smiled, and held Yan Xiaosu’s hands gently, “Don’t mind what others say, I believe in my own judgements. God once said, I will know when he comes. You really think that you were looking suave squatting at the corner that day?”
Yan Xiaosu held Elin’s hands tightly, “I will protect you, don’t worry! I have the capability to do so!”
At this moment, there was a notification on Yan Xiaosu’s Skylink. A document was sent over to him, and he smiled. What was Cren up to? He had very much wanted to deal with him, but he had to use a different method. It was too easy for him to make a fool out of Cren in public. Honestly speaking, such a character was nothing for the current Yan Xiaosu. It was because he was not that shallow-minded, and by doing so it would make Elin sad. Yan Xiaosu was not the same rash fellow as before.
“Xiaosu, do you have something on? Ah, I forgot. You’re here on a business trip, will your boss blame you for hanging out with me?”
Yan Xiaosu smiled, “I’m the boss, I decide when I’m working and when I’m on holiday. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
Elin caressed Yan Xiaosu’s chubby face, “If you’re busy, go ahead. Don’t worry, I won’t run away with other people.”
Yan Xiaosu was at a loss for words, as he knew that Elin would not care much about his status.
Yan Xiaosu was fine, but it wasn’t the case with Elin’s uncle. Eventually, Yan Xiaosu was being called over.
Yan Xiaosu wasn’t that tensed up as before when facing Cren Wellington. He just sipped his tea, in a rather relaxed position before posing his question, “Mr. Wellington, you’re looking for me?”
Cren Wellington was taken aback as this fatty seemed rather obstinate and cocky. He frowned and said, “You and Elin don’t match well. Since today is Zhao Zhe’s birthday, I don’t wish to make a big fuss out of it. After this, you better go to where you should be heading.”
Yan Xiaosu laughed, “What do you mean, I should be staying here. The only ones who can make me leave, are Elin and her parents. If I were you, perhaps you should pay some attention to your company which is at the verge of closing down. Do you think the Solar System Business Alliance would care about your small company, or are you hoping that the Warren Group can save you?
Cren Wellington was stunned, “Who are you exactly! Who told you all these!” He suddenly stood up, and looked at Yan Xiaosu with fiery eyes. Could it be that Xiaosu was someone sent by his rivals?
Yan Xiaosu laughed without a care, “It’s not important to know who I am. But what you do need to know is that, after another ten minutes, your company will be mine. If not for the fact that you are related to and cared about the Zhao family, you could be sleeping on the streets in the future.”
Wellington laughed in disbelief, “Hey fatty, who do you think you are to be talking to me like this.”
Yan Xiaosu continued, “Didn’t Elin introduce earlier on? Oh, pardon my poor memory. She only introduced my identity, but not my name. I’m Yan Xiaosu.”
Wellington got a shock, and froze. As long as one was from the Solar System, it would be impossible for them to not know about the two famous youngsters that had been making waves recently. One was called Ye Zisu, the other was Yan Xiaosu. Both of them were on the cover of this year’s Solar System Time magazine, and they both helmed the hottest emerging company. Ye Zisu had the skills, while Yan Xiaosu had a rather secretive background. Rumours had it that he could roam freely within the boundaries of the Milky Way Alliance, for instance the Ai Financial Group of the Hail Cloud Alliance, the Tadinger Corporation of Lya Sphinx etc. This time, he had tapped on the connections of several individuals, just to get to know someone from the upper management of the Little Lucky Star Corporation.
The real mighty god was right in front of him, and what did he even do?
By the time Wellington regained his senses, Yan Xiaosu had left. To deal with people like Wellington, he definitely had to knock some sense into him. With regards to what happens after this, it was all dependent on his performance. And the moment he went outside, Yan Xiaosu became a hardworking sidekick.
After Wellington came out from the room, he changed. Initially, he was someone whom was trying to steal the limelight of the party. But he suddenly kept a low profile, and did not talk much. It was just as though he had become invisible. On the contrary, Yan Xiaosu could be seen everywhere. He was entertaining the masses, making them laugh to their hearts’ content. Perhaps others would think that he was just acting like a clown, but what mattered to Yan Xiaosu more was Elin’s smile.
