13: Chapter 13 My wife is a hundred times more beautiful than her

Song Yuan took out his QR code and pushed it forward. With a 'beep', the scan was complete, and a friend request appeared on WeChat.

After Shiyu added him as a friend, she checked her watch; she seemed to be in a hurry.

"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. Don't be late tomorrow!"

Song Yuan stared blankly at her retreating figure. His future wife?

She seemed a bit cool!

He looked at her WeChat again. Her profile picture was a cute cat, her WeChat name was two letters, 'Yu', and her Moments background was the same as her profile picture, a cute cat photo. There was nothing else.

He suddenly realized he hadn't asked her name, only knowing her surname was Gus.

Never mind, he would find out when they registered their marriage tomorrow.

Song Yuan pinned her WeChat to the top.

On the other side, as Shiyu exited the coffee shop, Old Lady's 'death call' came in.

"Shiyu, are you really busy, or are you avoiding me? Is it so hard to come back for a blind date? You're at the age to settle down. How can you only have work on your mind!

Listen to Old Lady, I've met that grandson from the Xiao Family; he's very clever and handsome, a good choice. Old Lady hopes you two will marry this month and give me a chubby great-grandchild next month, otherwise, you're unfilial!"

Shiyu's tone was helpless.

"How many times have you met that grandson? How do you know he's a reliable person?"

Old Lady said angrily, "How can you curse at people now?"

Shiyu coaxed the old woman for a few sentences and then hung up the phone.

Assistant Ms. Xu asked,

"General Manager Gu, are you really going to marry that man named Song Yuan? Could he be after the Gu Family's money?"

Shiyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She truly didn't know Song Yuan's character, but the information in his profile met all her conditions.

Moreover, she believed that appearance reflects the heart, and she wouldn't be wrong about people.

She did know that the man surnamed Xiao was no good. Xiao Nianchen's private life abroad was scandalous. After he returned to China, his family had been constantly trying to persuade Old Lady, desperately pushing for this mismatched marriage, clearly wanting to cling to their Gu Family.

Old Lady was temporarily swayed and wouldn't listen to any of her persuasion, stubbornly insisting on her marrying Xiao Nianchen.

Shiyu felt a headache coming on whenever she thought of Old Lady'surging marriage (urging marriage) words. She currently needed a man to help her fend off those troubles, and just then, Song Yuan appeared.

Shiyu rubbed her temples, thinking about Song Yuan's expression when they talked in the coffee shop earlier. He probably didn't know her true identity yet.

"Don't reveal that I'm the CEO of Gus in front of Song Yuan. Remember, I'm just a small team leader working at Gus, with a monthly salary of nine thousand yuan!"

Ms. Xu understood. The CEO wanted to pretend to be poor to test that gentleman. She would definitely cooperate well.

Song Yuan returned to the hotel, found his documents, and then rummaged through his belongings to find a brand new white shirt.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't quite fall asleep. It was just registering their marriage, yet why was he more excited than when he was going to marry Lin Xueyao?

He recalled that passionate night with Miss Gu, and his heart felt warm.

He was already twenty-eight years old, yet he was acting like a young man who had just fallen in love.

Song Yuan sent a message in their three-person group chat,

"Brothers, I'm going to register my marriage tomorrow. Come and wish me well."

Lu Chi: "Holy crap!!! You crawled back to Lin Xueyao again? You spineless simp!"

Song Yuan: "Bah! It's not her. My wife is a hundred times prettier than her!"

Lu Chi: "Then, my friend, I really must give you a big red packet for your wedding. Congratulations on escaping that big pit of Lin Xueyao. I wish you and your wife an early birth of a noble child."

Gu Shiyuan: "Add sister-in-law to the group, let's get to know her."

Song Yuan hesitated. He wasn't familiar with his future wife yet and didn't know her temperament. It was better to wait until they were more familiar before adding her.

"Next time. I'll treat you guys to drinks another day."

Song Yuan was immersed in the joy of soon escaping bachelorhood, completely unaware that Lin Xueyao was currently complaining about him to her best friend.

"You tell me, does Song Yuan have a hole in his brain? He came to pick me up, then watched me get angry, and then he even lost me. It's truly unimaginable how I tolerated him for three years."

Qiao Xi laughed,

"Men are creatures of instruction; you can't do without training them. In my opinion, this Song Yuan is a bit dense. You might as well replace him early."

Lin Xueyao: "He really is a bit unworthy of me. Being with him was a downgrade."

Lin Xueyao hung up the phone, and her mother's call came in.

"Yaoyao, it's already the third day. Have you gotten the money yet? You can afford to wait, but your brother's girlfriend can't. Don't let them think our family is so poor we can't even come up with this much money!"

Lin Xueyao replied sullenly,

"Got it. At the latest by tomorrow, I'll definitely transfer the money to you."

Lin Xueyao directly called Xiao Nianchen. After that night, Xiao Nianchen had said he would help resolve her brother's issue.

It rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Lin Xueyao redialed several times, but it never connected. He must be busy and didn't have time to answer the phone.

Lin Xueyao first composed a message and sent it to Xiao Nianchen, waiting for his reply.

Lin Xueyao remembered Song Yuan. He must have come back today; he had cleaned the house thoroughly and thrown away a lot of trash.

She was a bit puzzled. What exactly was Song Yuan being so arrogant about?

This counted as saying one thing but doing another, right? He was clearly worried sick about her, yet he secretly came back to help her clean the house while she was at work, but his mouth remained stubborn, refusing to apologize.

How come she never noticed Song Yuan was this kind of person before? A cooked duck with a hard beak.

Lin Xueyao put on a face mask and binged a few episodes of a TV show. She didn't wait for Xiao Nianchen to call back until she was sleepy. Lin You's message came through on WeChat again,

"Sis, why haven't you transferred the money yet? Have you settled things with brother-in-law? He hasn't dumped you, has he?"

Lin Xueyao hadn't told her family about her plan to marry into the Xiao Family yet, but what her brother said was a bit too outrageous. How could Song Yuan dump her?

As long as she casually waved her hand, Song Yuan would excitedly follow, serving her tea and water, and massaging her feet and shoulders.

Lin Xueyao replied to her brother,

"You go focus on your own stuff. Since I promised to get you the money, I definitely can!"

Xiao Nianchen was unreachable today, but she still had Song Yuan as a fallback. Lin Xueyao checked the time. If Xiao Nianchen still didn't reply by eleven, at worst, she would humble herself to Song Yuan and ask him to get some money from his parents.
