The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 182 Marrying Xu Ranxi, the family fortune automatically transferred to his account?

As we entered mid-December, the weather grew increasingly cold.

The coats worn by pedestrians on the street are gradually being replaced by heavy down jackets.

The last few leaves on the tree fell in the wind, leaving the branches completely bare, signaling the official arrival of winter.

During these increasingly cold days, Zhang Muchen kept in touch with Xu Ranxi every day and helped her contact the pet shelter where Ailiya was volunteering.

Not long ago, accompanied by Xu Ranxi online, Zhang Muchen chose a soft Ragdoll cat from Wang Qingyuan and named it Kaka.

Xu Ranxi video chats with Xiao Kaka almost every day and guides Zhang Muchen to become a qualified cat owner.

Zhang Muchen could tell that Xu Ranxi liked Kaka.

Everything is steadily progressing in the direction he envisioned.

At Xu Qing's home on the weekend.

Zhang Muchen sat on the sofa in the living room, which was covered with a cat scratch protector with the edges neatly pressed down.

"Kaka, come over here," he called softly.

A three-month-old Ragdoll kitten, with a pale milky gray hue, slowly walked over like a cloud.

Zhang Muchen bent down, picked it up, and gently stroked it in his arms.

Ragdoll kittens are quite adorable at this stage. As they get older, they enter an awkward phase—their fur becomes bushy and shapeless.

It won't be until six months later that they gradually reach their true peak of beauty.

He stroked the soft, squishy Kaka in his arms, looked up at Xu Qing who was cleaning the floor with a lint roller, and said apologetically, "Aunt Xu, I'm so sorry to trouble you. I'll have to leave Kaka with you."

Xu Qing stopped what she was doing, turned around, and smiled gently: "How can you call it troublesome? Kaka is so well-behaved, it's good that I'm not lonely at home alone."

"Aunt Xu, you are so kind. If I told my mom about this, she would definitely just say that I am not doing my job properly."

Xu Qing couldn't help but laugh, her tone filled with understanding and emotion: "Your mother was only doing it for your own good. Hoping their son will succeed is the wish of most parents."

"And she has it tough too. She works day and night shifts, which has messed up her sleep schedule. Her skin condition is not as good as it was when I first met her."

She paused, then added gently, "Your mother was a very beautiful woman back then. But after you were born, she had to compromise on everything and work much harder."

Zhang Muchen listened with his head propped up, a sudden heaviness settling in his heart.

Xu Qing's words suddenly woke him up. The thought of the seventy or eighty thousand yuan in his bank account flashed through his mind—he had originally planned to save it, but he might as well use it to help his mother take better care of herself.

Just then, Xu Qing suddenly took out a red tote bag from the cabinet and handed it over: "Speaking of which, could you please take this skincare set to your mother for me?"

Zhang Muchen recognized the packaging at a glance, her eyes twitching slightly: "Is it SK-II Facial Treatment Essence?"

He quickly stood up and waved his hand to refuse, "Auntie, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Xu Qing didn't seem to mind, and smiled as she gently placed the handbag on the coffee table: "Mu Chen, this wasn't given for no reason. Back then, your mother helped me take care of Xi Xi. I was incredibly busy at the time, and she took the initiative to help me share the burden."

"These skincare products are nothing to me now, so stop trying to refuse them. Just take them back and give them to your mom."

"These skincare products mean nothing to me now, so please keep them and give them to your mother."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." This time, Zhang Muchen did not refuse.

Xu Qing smiled gently and bent down to continue using the lint roller to clean up the fine cat hair on the floor.

Seeing this, Zhang Muchen quickly reached out and took the lint roller from her hand: "Auntie, let me do it, I'm good at this kind of thing."

Xu Qing glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to go into the kitchen.

A moment later, the sound of a tap came on. Water washed over a bunch of glistening grapes.

"Mu Chen, your idea of ​​using a cat to lure Xi Xi back to China is brilliant!" Xu Qing's voice came from the kitchen.

"Haha, Auntie, this is also so that you and your daughter can be reunited sooner. That girl is wandering around outside, it's not good for her not to come back to China."

Xu Qing responded from the kitchen, her tone suddenly softening: "Yes, Xixi is my everything. Although Boston is very safe, it's still worrying to see her alone abroad." The sound of water stopped, and footsteps approached.

Xu Qing carried the washed fruit plate out of the kitchen, then gently placed it on the coffee table. She sat back on the sofa, bent down to pick up Kaka, who was yawning beside her, and gently rubbed its chin.

"I'll be at ease when she finds someone she can entrust her life to."

Zhang Muchen's eyes twitched slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly calmed down: "Let's wait until Xu Ranxi goes to university. It's too early now."

Xu Qing nodded, then continued petting the cat: "That's true. Once she goes to university, I won't interfere anymore. It's her freedom to date, and everything in this house will be hers in the future."

Xu Qing paused, then seemingly casually added, "Oh, they all belong to her and her future husband."

"."

Zhang Muchen paused noticeably as he rolled the lint roller in his hand.

I go……

According to Aunt Xu's idea, if he marries Xu Ranxi, his family property will automatically be transferred to his account?

Auntie is so generous!
Zhang Muchen clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.

What's the point of even trying? Wouldn't it be better to just live off a woman?

He casually rolled the lint roller around on the floor again, then put it away and sat down on the sofa.

Xu Qing smiled as she watched him sit down, then picked up a glistening grape from the fruit plate and handed it to him, saying, "Mu Chen, have a grape."

Zhang Muchen took the grapes and looked up at Xu Qing's gentle smile.

Having a mother-in-law like Aunt Xu Qing is wonderful.

She is gentle and kind, and trusts herself completely.

He took a bite of grape and thought to himself: If it weren't for the system, I would have definitely surrendered.

Even dogs wouldn't eat soft rice.
Eat! I'm just a kept man; dogs won't eat it, but I will.

However, Zhang Muchen is now ambitious.

With a system at your disposal, your future potential is far greater than what you've achieved.

Maybe in a few years, even Aunt Xu Qing won't be as rich as me.

Now that I've invested, I can only spend my time with Xu Ranxi.

But if we can stabilize our development, there is still hope for a bright future.

At worst, I can just come back and live off my wife if I fail.

whee.

Zhang Muchen's mind was racing with activity, but in reality, he remained calm and focused on eating grapes, without even raising an eyebrow.

Xu Qing, who was sitting to the side, observed him silently for a while. Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"This kid, Mu Chen... could it be that he has no interest in Xixi or money at all?"

This is going to be difficult.

She knew her daughter had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Zhang Muchen. But matters of the heart can't be decided by one person's wishful thinking.

But what if you're not interested in money...

Xu Qing blinked and began to think seriously.

Mu Chen is only 17 years old. What concept could she possibly have about money? How could she understand the weight of reality?

He'll have to make a name for himself in society once he's established himself.
Only then can you know that food tastes better when it's soft.
