Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 171 - 106: The Gift
Chapter 171: Chapter 106: The Gift
Fu Yang said he would come, so the driver didn’t dare to leave. He parked the car by the roadside, keeping Shu Wan company as they waited for Fu Yang.
The evening grew deeper, and the hypnotic effect of the passing cars and voices of people lingered in the air.
After waiting for a while, Shu Wan fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, Fu Yang was already sitting nearby with his legs crossed.
"Have you been waiting long?" Shu Wan yawned.
"Just got here," Fu Yang put down his phone and glanced unconsciously at Shu Wan’s drunkenly flushed face. "Are you stupid? If you can’t drink, then don’t."
"I was celebrating with colleagues," Shu Wan explained. "Let’s head back."
"Oh." Fu Yang adopted a more comfortable position on the sofa, looking past Shu Wan to the commercial street outside.
They had driven some distance when Fu Yang suddenly spoke up, "I feel like shopping. Come with me."
"..." Shu Wan was puzzled. "Now?"
"What? Is that a problem?" Fu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Aren’t you my guardian? Shouldn’t a guardian accompany me when I want to go shopping?"
"Sure," After resting for a while, Shu Wan’s sleepiness had mostly dissipated. "Let’s go."
As Shu Wan got out of the car, Fu Yang was still searching for something inside. When he emerged, he had a hat in his hand.
Before Shu Wan could speak, Fu Yang had already deftly placed the hat on her head. "Look at your face, you’re so flushed from drinking. How could you face anyone like that?"
The driver, sitting in the car, glanced at Shu Wan unconsciously and then blushed, quietly averting his gaze.
Young Madam of their household was already breathtakingly beautiful, let alone when tinged with a hint of drunkenness, her expression slightly hazy.
The hat was necessary. Without it, how many hearts would be slain along the way?
Fu Yang wanted to shop, so Shu Wan followed him inside.
After passing a few stores, Fu Yang suddenly said, "Hey, do you see anything worth buying? I don’t find anything here attractive."
"Do you want to buy clothes?" Shu Wan asked.
"Not necessarily. Anything’s fine. Is it not okay to spend money when I have too much of it?" Fu Yang’s eyes twinkled. "Something women like is fine too. Just help me pick anything."
Shu Wan gave Fu Yang a puzzled look but didn’t ask more.
At Fu Yang’s age, in ancient times, one might already have their first child, so Shu Wan simply considered that Fu Yang was at the burgeoning stage of his youth, possibly having taken a fancy to some girl.
She looked around and then pointed to a very beautiful diamond hair clip in the display window. "This is nice."
"Oh," Fu Yang glanced at it. "It’s ugly."
"... That scarf is also not bad," Shu Wan offered another suggestion.
"That’s ugly too."
"...Then how about that diamond bracelet? It looks pretty good."
"It’s really ugly."
"Then pick something yourself," Shu Wan was too lazy to offer more suggestions.
"How can you be so impatient," Fu Yang frowned. "Never mind, I can’t count on you. Just go back to the car. I’ll look around some more by myself."
"Do you have enough money?" Based on Shu Wan’s understanding of Fu Yang, he probably only had a little more than five thousand yuan left.
Outside, five thousand yuan might buy a decent amount of stuff, but this mall in Imperial City was a famous luxury hub. Five thousand yuan might really not be enough to buy much here.
"Who said I was going to buy anything?" Fu Yang turned his head, "Can’t I just browse around? You should go on, your nagging is really annoying."
"Alright then." Shu Wan didn’t insist further, and she turned and walked towards the exit of the mall.
Fu Yang said he wanted to shop, but he didn’t actually browse for long.
Less than ten minutes after Shu Wan left, Fu Yang was back in the car too.
His hands were empty, as if he really hadn’t bought anything, and he directly sprawled himself on the sofa, "Nothing interesting to see, let’s go back."
Shu Wan glanced at Fu Yang but said nothing.
In light of the special circumstances the night before, the next morning the director granted everyone a holiday.
Shu Wan slept until she woke up naturally and went downstairs for a meal, the Housekeeper brought her several parcels.
"Young Madam, this is an anonymous delivery, it seems to be for you."
Shu Wan glanced over, there were about six or seven parcels of various sizes.
She took a pair of scissors, opened them all, and found some hair clips, necklaces, bracelets, and similar gifts inside.
Shu Wan was a bit drunk the day before but, no matter what, she had not lost consciousness and remembered clearly that half of the items were things she had said looked nice yesterday.
Just at that moment, Fu Yang came downstairs and glanced at the items in Shu Wan’s hands, "They really are willing to spend money, actually buying all these for you."
Shu Wan looked up, "Who?"
"Zhang Yu and the others." Fu Yang carelessly continued downstairs, "Yesterday they asked me what you liked, and I casually mentioned a few things - I didn’t expect they’d actually send them."
Hearing Fu Yang’s words, Shu Wan reached for her phone to send a message to Zhang Yu and the others but was stopped when Fu Yang snatched it away.
Shu Wan looked at Fu Yang, who was gazing outside, his ears slightly red, "They were originally planning to surprise you, so just pretend you don’t know if their parents see it, it will be awkward for them."
Shu Wan’s eyebrows slightly raised, and after pausing for a moment, she nodded, "Okay."
Fu Yang seemed surprised that Shu Wan was so amenable today, he turned and looked at her skeptically, "You promise not to thank them?"
"I won’t." Shu Wan smiled, "I promise."
After all, these things weren’t purchased by them.
"That’s fine then." Fu Yang handed back the phone to Shu Wan, "I’m so tired, I’m going to sleep more, don’t disturb me unless it’s important."
"Wait a minute." Shu Wan stopped Fu Yang, "I read online that after exams are over, we should go on a graduation trip, and we also need graduation gifts; I’ve already transferred the money to your card, go wherever you want."
Fu Yang checked his phone and saw that he had received quite a large sum of money, probably because his allowance had been restricted recently, and the sudden influx made him feel oddly rich.
He looked at Shu Wan puzzled, "Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? Giving me so much money, aren’t you afraid I’ll waste it?"
Shu Wan only smiled without saying a word.
If Fu Yang still spent money as recklessly as before, then her efforts over this period were in vain.
"Okay, I’ll take it." Suddenly becoming richer made Fu Yang quite happy, especially since he could make up for the large sum of money he had just spent, the smile on his face was undeniable, "Going back to sleep."
After Fu Yang left, the Housekeeper came up to Shu Wan and reported quietly, "Young Master sold some luxury goods a couple of days ago."
"Uh-huh." Shu Wan wasn’t surprised, "Just pretend we don’t know."
"Understood."
Shu Wan didn’t need to go to the set until the afternoon, so she took the rare opportunity to rest at home, but Wang Tian’s place was already in an uproar.
Because the news of Shu Wan hitting Lin Man had exploded online.
