Chapter 695 Mutual Benefit
“Three years?”
Luo Xi frowned.
Song Yunxuan said, “Childe Luo, don’t tell me that you think three years is very long.”
“For two people who are not in love but have to live together, every day is suffering, let alone three years.”
Luo Xi’s words were right. Song Yunxuan did not object.
It was indeed torture to let two people, who did not love each other, live together.
However, nothing could be obtained without paying a price.
Shao Xue wanted to destroy Shao Tianze and avenge her parents.
Song Yunxuan wanted to seek revenge for Shao Tianze and Gu Changle and retake the Shao enterprise.
Luo Xi wanted to gain a foothold in Harbor City, be able to live a comfortable and safe life, and not be controlled or framed by others after his grandfather’s death.
These were the things they wanted.
And to achieve these, they must pay a price.
Shao Xue and Luo Xi paid the price of their first marriage and three years. Song Yunxuan acted as a matchmaker, helping them to keep their position in the family.
This was something that the three of them needed to cooperate to accomplish.
“Can you hold on for three years?”
“I think I should be able to, as long as the woman is not annoying.”
Luo Xi’s words made Song Yunxuan laugh.
“Childe Luo, don’t worry. Shao Xue is a quiet girl. She will not annoy you.”
Luo Xi nodded, “I will go to Yuncheng next week.”
“It’s best to let your grandpa handle this matter.”
Song Yunxuan suggested.
Luo Xi thought about it and answered, “You are right. Shao Tianze may listen to him.”
That was true. Shao Tianze might respect Luo Xi’s grandfather. If it were Luo Xi, the plan might not be successful.
After all, Luo Xi was young and inexperienced.
After he went, there was no valid reason.
Shao Tianze even had to think carefully about who asked Luo Xi to go.
It would be terrible if he thought of Song Yunxuan.
“I will ask my grandfather about this.”
Song Yunxuan nodded and agreed. Then, she hung up on the excuse of being too late.
After hanging up the phone, Song Yunxuan looked at the ceiling and thought for a while before turning off the light to sleep.
Since she had talked with Luo Xi, she could return to Yuncheng tomorrow morning.
…
Unlike Song Yunxuan, Shao Xue was a little restless.
She had told Shao Tianze what kind of person she liked. When Shao Tianze told Gu Changle about it, Gu Changle teased, “Where can we find such a man? No one is perfect. She should lower her request. Then, we can look for a few and let her meet.”
Gu Changle’s words were not cold, but she didn’t want to let Shao Xue go.
She listed eight persons for blind dates for Shao Xue in one night.
She even talked on the phone with the families of the eight people and set up the dates for the blind dates.
Gu Changle’s quick action made Shao Xue want to sneer.
Shao Tianze took Shao Xue to the hospital to visit Gu Changle.
Gu Changle pretended to be a nice sister. She held Shao Xue’s hand and asked Shao Xue to see the photos of the eight persons for blind dates. Gu Changle introduced her one by one, “This is the eldest son of the Sun Family, called Sun Min.”
Shao Xue laughed, “He not only has a soft name but also looks fragile.”
Sun Min’s family background was good, but his s.e.xual orientation was not common.
He didn’t like women and often went to special bars.
Gu Changle even listed such a person as her fiancé candidate, which showed how much Gu Changle wanted to destroy Shao Xue.
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Gu Changle smiled, “You don’t like him. Well, he is short. Let’s look at another one.”
As she was saying, she changed a photo.
This picture showed a fat man, wearing a black suit and black sungla.s.ses with a large gold chain around his neck.
Shao Xue smiled, “This chubby guy is quite cute.”
Shao Tianze glanced at the photo and saw the man’s attire. He knotted his brows, “Too fat. He doesn’t match Shao Xue.”
Gu Changle collected the ugliest unmarried men from rich families in Yuncheng, who, of course, could not match the beautiful Shao Xue.
Even if they continued to look through these photos, they could only see people like this.
Shao Tianze asked Gu Changle to change a photo. Gu Changle changed it obediently. This was a thin man who looked like a bamboo pole, with a mustache on his face.
They felt ugly at first glance.
Shao Xue sneered, “Changle, what do you think of this person?”
Gu Changle had good taste. Otherwise, she would not take a fancy to her sister’s man at one glance.
Bluntly speaking, the men Gu Changle chose for Shao Xue could not hold a candle to her.
After Shao Xue asked Gu Changle’s opinion, Gu Changle said with a smile, “No one is perfect. As long as the morals are good.”
“Do you think the character of this person is good, Changle?”
Gu Changle smiled, “This requires you to contact him. If you do not contact him, how do you know if he is good?”
Gu Changle talked evasively and didn’t directly say that this man was not good.
Shao Xue nodded and laughed, “Why don’t I date him?”
Shao Xue took the photo in her hand.
When Shao Tianze saw that Shao Xue finally chose one, he glanced at the photo and immediately frowned.
The displeasure in Shao Tianze’s eyes was quite obvious. Shao Xue laughed, “Please help me make the appointment. I’m tired. I want to go home and rest. Is there any chance to have dinner with him in the evening and let us get to know each other?”
Hearing Shao Xue’s words, Shao Tianze nodded, “Go home if you are tired. I will ask the driver to take you back.”
“Thank you.”
After Shao Xue nodded and showed her thanks, she glanced at Gu Changle and left the ward.
After Shao Xue left the ward, Shao Tianze asked Gu Changle, “Who are these people you chose for her?”
“They are all people with good backgrounds in Yuncheng.”
Gu Changle beamed and spoke.
Shao Tianze took the photos in Gu Changle’s hands and quickly flipped through them. Then, he threw the photos on the cabinet aside, “Does no one look good?”
“I have said that appearance is not important. For a woman’s love and marriage, the most important thing is the conduct of the partner. If the husband is a person of very bad conduct, the woman will suffer a lot after marriage. Tianze, although these men are not good-looking, the uglier a man is, the more he will cherish a beautiful wife. Any of them will treat Shao Xue well if they get married.”
Gu Changle tried her best to tell Shao Tianze the benefits of these men.
However, Shao Tianze believed that the looks of these men did not match Shao Xue’s.
Seeing Shao Tianze frowning all the time, Gu Changle knew that Shao Tianze did not want Shao Xue to marry an ugly man. So, she said, “Song Yunxuan’s second elder sister married Xue Tao, who was not unattractive. However, he has been philandering. And Song Yunxuan’s sister lives a miserable life.”
Shao Tianze frowned, saying nothing.
Gu Changle gave another example, “Chu Mochen, Song Yunxuan’s ex-boyfriend, seemed to be good in everything but had a short life. He only went on a business trip but died in the air crash. Song Yunxuan has to marry another man.”
Gu Changle tried her best to persuade Shao Tianze, “Tianze, I know that Shao Xue is your younger sister. When I choose her future husband, I will not choose people with only beautiful faces. Trust me.”
Shao Tianze was unhappy, but since Gu Changle had such words, he felt it was inappropriate to continue opposing, so he could only let Gu Changle arrange.
…
After leaving Gu Changle’s ward, Shao Xue threw the picture she brought out into the trash can.
Gu Changle must have a lot of free time so that she was able to collect so many jerks for Shao Xue to date.
However, Shao Xue would not choose any of these fools.
Those who wanted to marry her and those who wanted to kick her out of the Shao Family were all daydreaming.
Song Yunxuan’s plane landed at eight o’clock in the evening.
At that time, Shao Xue was already drinking coffee and chatting with a man as thin as a bamboo pole in a restaurant.
Song Yunxuan didn’t know that Shao Xue had been arranged for a blind date. After Song Yunxuan got home, she saw Xiao Hong waiting at her house.
Xiao Hong greeted her as soon as she saw her, “Manager Song.”
“Why are you here so late?”
In Song Yunxuan’s impression, Xiao Hong went to work and got off work on time and had a strong sense of time.
Song Yunxuan still remembered the last time she invited Xiao Hong to dinner and was rejected because it was too late.
Since Song Yunxuan recalled that she owed Xiao Hong a dinner, she invited her, “Did you eat? If not, let’s eat together. I just got off the plane.”
Xiao Hong said, “Thank you, Manager Song. But I came here after dinner.”
“Anything urgent?”
Song Yunxuan took off her coat while Mei Qi asked the housekeeper for a cup of tea.
The housekeeper brought Song Yunxuan and Xiao Hong scented tea.
As Song Yunxuan sat down and took a sip of tea, Xiao Hong said, “Recently, Gu Changle has been arranging blind dates for Shao Xue.”
“I knew that.”
Before she went to Harbor City, Xiao Hong had told her.
Xiao Hong also realized that she had said this matter and went straight to the important part, “Gu Changle chose eight candidates and forced Shao Xue to select one to date.”
“Eight?” Song Yunxuan sneered, “She acted quickly. Nevertheless, what kind of people she had chosen for Shao Xue?”
After simply thinking, she knew that Gu Changle, with such an ugly heart, was impossible to choose a good man for Shao Xue.
Xiao Hong had prepared. Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, she put the photos she had brought on the table.
Song Yunxuan saw the eight photos placed in front of her.
Raising her eyebrows slightly, she picked up the photos. After seeing two of them, she couldn’t help but say, “Gu Changle is really vicious. How could she pick such ugly people for Shao Xue? I wonder how Shao Tianze felt when he saw his future brother-in-law looked like this?”
