Chapter 1717: Miss Nice Girl (80)

【Host, the client you're visiting today lives across from the apartment your parents bought for Tang Xiaokun. Since it's the weekend, there's a good chance you'll run into him.】

Early in the morning, the System couldn't help reporting this little piece of news to Tang Guo.

He didn't mean anything by it. He just wanted to remind his host not to dress too beautifully or wear anything too expensive when she went over.

And as for that fellow Baili Sheng, he probably couldn't drive her there today either.

Tang Guo paused for a moment. "That's right. If you hadn't reminded me, I almost would've forgotten."

At this stage, she still had no intention of exposing her wealth. If she did, those two shameless people would definitely come clinging to her, asking her to support Tang Xiaokun or even pay off his mortgage. Then she wouldn't have a peaceful day again. Dream on.

She put away the stylish dress she'd originally chosen, one that clearly looked expensive, and returned it to the closet.

When she came back out, she was holding another dress. It looked ordinary and wasn't from any famous brand.

In reality, the System knew very well that these dresses only appeared plain. They were handmade and extremely comfortable, just lacking labels.

People who didn't know better would probably think she was wearing something bought from a street stall.

Then she pinned up her hair, giving herself a fresh and simple appearance.

"Brother Sheng, the apartment opposite today's client belongs to Xiaokun. Since it's the weekend, we'll probably run into him. Don't drive me there today. If he sees you driving a luxury car, he'll shamelessly rush over and call you brother-in-law just to take advantage of you."

System: Host, that's hilarious.

Baili Sheng paused. "Then I'll switch to another car."

"Brother Sheng, are you joking? Switch to another car? Is there even a car in your garage worth less than two million yuan? Even if it's only worth a few hundred thousand, as long as you have a car, in Xiaokun's eyes—and my parents'—you're a source of blood they can suck. Having a car at all won't do. You need to have no car."

"How about I go by myself today?" Tang Guo sat before the vanity, applying makeup. She intended to put on only a light look to make herself seem more ordinary.

Most people used makeup to make themselves prettier.

She had to deliberately hide her beauty.

Baili Sheng had already gotten dressed and stood leaning against the doorway.

Looking at his perfectly tailored suit, Tang Guo shook her head.

"Brother Sheng, you don't look ordinary at all. I don't want them to know that I married a rich man. You don't want people pestering you every day for things, do you? They ignore me because they think there's nothing to gain from me and that they might even lose money. But if they knew we were wealthy, they'd shamelessly stick to us."

That was exactly what had happened to the original host.

Back then, she listened to everything Li Meixue said.

Whoever Li Meixue chose, she married.

The man she married had indeed been fairly wealthy. At first, Li Meixue would cry poverty and complain miserably whenever she wanted money, and the original host gave it to her every time. She simply couldn't bear to see her family suffer.

After it happened several times, the man finally couldn't endure it anymore and took control of all the household finances.

But Li Meixue still refused to stop. Every month, as soon as the original host got paid, she would come over. Since her daughter was married and had a husband, if the husband wouldn't give money, then taking the original host's salary wouldn't starve her anyway.

After all, she had a husband to support her.
