Chapter 772: Reasons for Perfunctory

Shu Yi also came to the United States, but she arrived later than Yan Xin and the others.

She wants to settle her daughter.

A foreign student was staying at her house, and she didn't charge him rent. However, the student helped her teach her daughter and provided her with some assistance in daily life. She provided him with food and drink for free, so everyone got what they needed.

But the international student also has his own courses and cannot help her take care of her daughter all the time.

So, she had to ask someone to help take care of her.

I told the foreign student and also told my daughter’s teacher, asking them to help keep an eye on it.

In addition, I also told Jiang Manyun, hoping that she could take care of it.

Jiang Manyun was in the circle of famous daughters, and Shu Yi did not originally belong to this circle. However, she also knew that Shu Yi was a major shareholder of Fengxiang Real Estate Group and was the daughter-in-law of the chairman. The chairman's son had died, and she would inherit the chairman's huge wealth in the future. He was also a billionaire, so she treated Shu Yi as her equal, treated her very well, and took care of her in every way she could.

She has been running the business here for several years, spending most of her time in the circle, and has accumulated some energy, so she can indeed take care of Shuyi.

It was just before the Mid-Autumn Festival that Jiang Manyun went back to her country to celebrate the festival. She stayed at her own home and Cui Shao's home for two days and only flew back after the festival.

After she returned to Europe, Shu Yi met her and let her see her daughter. Then she boarded a plane to the United States to join the main force.

Although they had agreed on a time, she still arrived two or three hours later than Yan Xin and the others.

Instead of asking Gu Ru to pick her up, she took a taxi from the airport.

She had been abroad for such a long time that her English level had improved by leaps and bounds, and she had no problem coping with daily life situations.

When she arrived at Gu Ru's manor, Yan Xin and the others were all sleeping, and only Gu Ru came to pick her up.

The two of them are of similar age, both living abroad, and have a close relationship. They are not short of money, so every two or three months, they will travel thousands of miles to spend some time together.

When we met, the first thing that came was a hug.

After entering the garden, Shu Yi asked Gu Ru:

"where are they?"

"Everyone is resting." said Gu Ru.

And he said to her:

"You must be tired after coming all the way here. Take a nap first. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

Shu Yi hummed.

In order to save some money, I flew economy class. It was really tiring after the long journey.

Now she just wants to lie in bed and have a good rest.

When she walked to the main villa and saw Gu Xin playing with a toy car in the hall, she was stunned for a moment and whispered:

"Why did you let her stay here? Aren't you afraid that Feng Xi might suspect something?"

Gu Ru smiled and whispered:
"I also thought about asking my mom to take her to my dad's place to hide for a few days, but then I thought, if I can avoid it this time, can I avoid it forever? Hiding for a lifetime would be too unfair to my daughter. So I just let them all know - this is my daughter, I have a daughter."

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" Shu Yi was a little nervous.

She had a similar experience to Gu Ru. Both of them gave birth to illegitimate children for Yan Xin, which was much more serious than having an ambiguous relationship with Yan Xin.

She has always been worried that this matter would be exposed, so she has been very cautious.

So she didn't understand how Gu Ru dared to reveal this matter on her own initiative.

——Which woman can bear this?

Gu Ru smiled and said, "Of course I didn't say this is my biological daughter. I said Xiao Xin is a child I adopted last year."

As they were talking, they had already walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Gu Ru helped Shu Yi pull the suitcase and led her to her bedroom.

Every time Shuyi came over, they lived together.

The bedroom is also large enough, not to mention two people, even four or five people can sleep there.

After opening the door and Shu Yi went in, she closed the door casually and followed Shu Yi to the bed.

She felt that she also needed a break.

Shu Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After taking off her clothes, she lay down on the bed.

Gu Ru was lying next to her.

They are all people who have been lonely for too long, and having an embrace to lean on can bring them great comfort.

Shu Yi closed her eyes and suddenly asked again:

"If you say Xiaoxin is adopted by you, will Feng Xi believe it?"

It doesn’t matter whether others believe it or not, the key is whether Feng Xi believes it or not.

Because Feng Xi is Yan Xin's legal wife.

No one else has the right to get involved in this matter.

"Probably she won't believe it..." Gu Ru said with a wry smile, "She is a very smart person. I don't think she will believe such a perfunctory reason."

"Since you also think she won't believe it, why did you make it up like this?" Shu Yi didn't understand.

"No matter how bad the reason is, it's still a reason. It's better than not finding any reason at all, right?" Gu Ru said.

"Will she feel that you are lying to her and insulting her intelligence, and become even angrier?" Shu Yi was worried about this.

"Will not."

Gu Ru shook her head.

"I told her that this was my adopted child, which meant that I had severed my relationship with Yan Xin, and would not participate in the fight for Yan Xin's property in the future, nor would it infringe on her interests. At the same time, this was also a way of expressing my attitude to her - I recognize your authority, and I don't want to challenge your position with Yan Xin, so I made up a reason to get this matter over with. I was being humble. Even if she was a little unhappy, with this reason, at least her anger would be reduced a lot. As long as she didn't want to make a big deal about this matter, and didn't want to make her sisters feel insecure, she would accept it - Yan Xin's other women didn't have children now, but they might not have them in the future. To have a child in the name of adoption was also a step that everyone could take. If she couldn't even accept this, then she was ready to become an enemy of the rest of the people, and I don't think she would make such a choice."

"So she accepted it in the end?" Shu Yi asked.

"She accepted it," Gu Ru said with a smile, "She also asked Xiao Xin to call Yan Xin dad and her mom, which is like accepting her as her goddaughter."

Shu Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

She came here this time to have a happy trip with everyone, but she didn't want to see everyone turn against each other.

Moreover, Feng Xi's attitude towards Yan Xin's illegitimate child also made her feel at ease.

That way, even if the relationship between her son and Yan Xin is exposed in the future, it won't cause too big a problem, right?
After a while, he sighed again:
"Everyone says she has a bad temper, but she's actually a nice person and very tolerant."

Gu Ru also sighed: "Yes, it's really good. I feel very guilty and a little sorry for her."

Even though she feels guilty, she will still do what she has chosen.

People are inherently selfish.

"Me too." Shu Yi said.

After a while, she asked softly:

"How can we compensate her?"

Gu Ru thought for a while: "I don't know how to compensate her. If it was any other woman, it would be fine, at most I could make some financial compensation. But she...she has much more money than us combined, what qualifications do we have to compensate her?" "That's true." Shu Yi had to admit.

There is really nothing to compensate Feng Xi.

The uneasiness in your conscience will only continue to exist.

You can't give up the pursuit of a happy life just because of a guilty conscience, right?

They are not yet so noble.

Gu Ru suddenly smiled and said:
"If you really want to compensate her, you can try harder in other areas."

"Which aspect are you working hard on?" Shu Yi asked quickly.

"For example, kneel down and lick her..." Gu Ru said with a smile.

Shu Yi said "Oh" and thought to herself: "It means that I should be more humble in front of her."

I think this is indeed a solution.

If you can't compensate her materially, then make some compensation spiritually. Be humble in front of her, acknowledge her status as the first wife, and lower your attitude. This can also be considered an emotional value.

But I also felt that Gu Ru’s laughter was a little strange, as if it was not so easy to understand.

Suddenly I thought of another possibility and my face turned red.

What this woman expressed may not be an attitude, but a gesture.

I thought to myself: "Will that really work..."

If it's useful, then it's not impossible...

Thinking of this, he squeezed closer to Gu Ru again.

After the bumpy ride, I was really tired. I closed my eyes and fell asleep after a while.

When I woke up, Gu Ru was no longer in bed.

She looked at the time and it was already six or seven in the evening.

Feeling a little hungry, I got up from the bed, opened the closet, found a nightgown, put it on, and went out.

She came to Gu Ru's place quite often, and her clothes were placed in this closet.

When we got to the first floor, we saw Gu Ru, Yan Xin and others sitting in the living room talking. The little girl Gu Xin was sitting on Yan Xin's lap, held in his arms.

They look like a father and daughter.

In fact, they are also father and daughter.

Shu Yi's heart moved, and she inexplicably thought of her son whom she had not seen for a long time:
"Xiao Kun is nominally his godson, and they often meet. It should be like this when they are together, right?"

She felt guilty towards her son because she couldn't be with him.

Since I can’t give maternal love, I can only hope that Yan Xin can give the child more paternal love.

When everyone saw her coming down, they all greeted her.

Gu Ru smiled and said, "I was thinking of waiting until the food was ready before calling you down to eat. Why did you come down so soon? Why didn't you rest for a while?"

"I've had a good rest." Shu Yi said.

Ellie was cooking in the kitchen, the nanny was helping over there, and several others were in the hall.

Yan Shilin, who is less than one year old, is now held in the arms of his aunt Bai Xiaoling, who patiently teaches him to speak, but it seems to have no effect.

Shu Yi sat next to Gu Ru, listened to their conversation, and found out that they were talking about Bitcoin.

That thing was a kind of virtual currency. Shu Yi had heard of it and had bought it last time, but she didn't know what it was.

Feng Xi and Yan Xin both invested in some Bitcoin, and Gu Ru also bought some.

It was at Gu Ru's suggestion that Shu Yi also bought some, but sold it less than a year later, making a profit of tens of thousands of US dollars.

Later she heard that the price had gone up again, reaching twenty dollars per piece, which made her regret selling it too early.

Otherwise you can make a lot more money.

Later I heard that the price dropped to one cent.

She was also glad that she sold it and made tens of thousands of dollars for free.

I didn’t pay attention to this anymore afterwards.

She felt that this was all a gamble, the ups and downs were too great, her heart couldn't take it, it would be better for her to live an honest life.

Now listening to them talking about it, it seems that the price has gone up a lot, and is a little higher than when she originally sold it.

But it hasn’t reached the top yet.

As for whether to continue holding in the future, Yan Xin’s opinion is to continue holding. Anyway, it didn’t cost much money, so if there is a loss, there is no loss.

Feng Xi holds a similar view to his.

But she also doesn't recommend holding too much.

In her words, small gambling brings pleasure, while big gambling will lead to nothingness.

Shu Yi also asked how much she held.

Then I was a little confused - with so much money, can it be called a small gamble for fun?
However, after learning about the price they paid for it, I felt that it was indeed just a small gamble considering the size of their wealth.

The couple opened many accounts and used many methods to buy the Bitcoin.

The bitcoins in some of these accounts were stolen.

This is also very helpless.

But they are only a minority after all, and they can still afford that little loss.

Gu Ru also bought some, and then sold most of it when the price was high, and then bought some more when the price was low.

She didn't stare at that thing all the time, but only looked at it after a while. After counting, she found that she had made hundreds of thousands of dollars, which made her very happy.

But she is not planning to increase her investment.

After all, the value of this thing fluctuates too much, so a small amount of money doesn't matter. The cost has been recovered long ago anyway, and the money earned is used to speculate on this.

If you invest all your savings in this, you will feel great when it goes up, but you will cry bitterly when it goes down.

She didn't want to tie her emotions to this thing.

She had a little spare money, which she invested mainly in stocks.

She herself didn't understand stocks, but she would follow Feng Xi and bought several stocks based on Feng Xi's advice.

Although the price fluctuated from time to time, I still made some profit overall.

As for how much Feng Xi earned, Feng Xi didn't say, so no one knows.

But judging from her expression, she must have made a lot of money.

Seeing Shu Yi coming down, Yan Xin mentioned one thing to her:
"You don't have to worry about running out of money in the future. Fengxiang Group has already decided to distribute 5 million yuan in dividends by the end of this year. You are a major shareholder, and according to the proportion, you can also get or million yuan."
