Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1243 - 370: Never Before So Devout

Especially you, in the past few years, your life has been lackluster. I’ve reminded you many times to grab hold of something, but you’re too playful, having set up a couple of companies without success, just a passing enthusiasm. Your father spoils you; if something fails, so be it, losing money is just losing money.

Just think about it, if your father were no longer around, and the love from him were gone, would your older brother, once he’s in power, pamper you like your father does, unstintingly giving you resources?

We wanted you to marry well, but in the past few years, you were unwilling, dragging it out until you’re thirty. Now, there isn’t any particularly good candidate for such a marriage. You looked down on those people, saying you wanted freedom. Fine, you were given freedom, but after all this freedom, what do you have in your hands? A husband or in-laws that can support you?

And darling, you don’t want to end up with nothing in your hands at all, just being raised at home like a pig, do you?"

"This Mr. Chen is an opportunity for you. Befriend him, become friends—that way, in future dealings with Mr. Chen, you’ll represent the Liu Family.

The friendship is nominally on behalf of the Liu Family but essentially falls on you personally!

Once the Liu Family needs Mr. Chen, and no one else in the Liu Family can reach out, only your words would matter, then you’ll have value!"

Remember that night, when saying this, Ah Ruo was still eagerly looking at her mother: "You don’t mean for me to seduce or marry that Mr. Chen, do you?"

But as these words came out, Aunt Yun just shook her head looking at her daughter: "Marriage? Seduction? You’re really overthinking it."

Ah Ruo’s face darkened: "Aren’t you just saying I’m not attractive enough?"

This statement was actually also the truth.

Since Aunt Yun could marry Liu Jianshan back in the day, her youthful beauty was naturally beyond question.

However, Ah Ruo didn’t inherit much of her mother’s beauty; if it weren’t for various maintenance and makeup funded by wealth, she’d be quite average at best.

"If you had inherited seven or eight tenths of my looks, and if you were a bit younger now, maybe I would take a risk to plan something to settle that Mr. Chen.

Because though the risk is high, if it succeeds, the rewards are too!

But the way you are now, it’s not possible, darling.

You also saw the girl beside Mr. Chen, the one not yet in the Yang Family. She’s pretty and adorable, with a gentle and obedient nature—I tell you, most men wouldn’t dislike a girl like that, plus she’s much prettier than you, and a lot younger.

And there’s that Dean Chu, her looks, her figure! Even as a woman, I couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Plus, Dean Chu is a remarkable person with common interests with others.

These two women, how can you compete with them?

If you were a man, would you choose them, or you?

What would you rely on to win? Family wealth and power? They are extraordinary; if they want money, they have plenty of opportunities to make money themselves. Using worldly power as a bargaining chip, they wouldn’t care at all."

"This time when you go, just properly make friends, don’t have any romantic ambiguities, not even hints!

If there’s no chance, don’t stir up trouble.

Otherwise, if you make it obvious and are rejected, and if you anger that Yang Family lady, a few pillow whispers from her could make the hard-earned friendship for the Liu Family disappear!

Remember, when making friends, do it properly!

With Mr. Chen, you must earnestly make friends, and also fully use your gender advantage. That Yang Family lady seems soft in nature, should be easy to get along with, also kind to others; become good friends with her.

Be it best friends or close acquaintances.

Sometimes, becoming good friends with people around him, this kind of friendship can be more useful than friendship with him personally at critical moments!

At that time, Ah Ruo didn’t quite understand, just looking at her mother.

Aunt Yun sighed, "Since you were raised with wealth from a young age, most people around you are flattering, so you neglect to observe and understand people’s hearts.

I’ll tell you why this kind of friendship is useful!

If, say, you need Mr. Chen’s help with something, something he’s on the fence about.

If you’re only friends with him, he will weigh the worth of the friendship between you two, whether it demands his help.

But if someone around him, like that Yang Family lady, says something for you.

Then Mr. Chen wouldn’t just consider your friendship, but also the weight of his relationship with that Yang Family lady!

Understand?"

Currently, Ah Ruo appeared calm as she toured the house, while Hu Shangke skillfully introduced various features of the house and surrounding environment...

But Ah Ruo secretly scrutinized this Hu Shangke several times.

Yes, a person from Mr. Chen’s side...

This person should also be included in her circle of acquaintances!

Originally, as a real estate agent, she wouldn’t take him seriously.

However, during today’s meeting, when Hu Shangke arrived, he also met with Chen Yan.

Right there in front of Ah Ruo, Chen Yan behaved very close to Hu Shangke—even proactively wrapping an arm around his shoulder.

From a few casual conversations, Ah Ruo realized Chen Yan and Hu Shangke were classmates, even roommates—so they certainly had a good rapport!

Furthermore, during idle chatter with Hu Shangke, Ah Ruo also learned that Chen Yan had entrusted quite a few properties to Hu Shangke’s care.
