”You tell me, why should I let you stay?” She turned the question back to him. Unexpectedly, Yun Shaoye was stumped by her words.
If it were any other day and he made such a request to someone else, they would definitely be eager to welcome him and wouldn’t hesitate.
Waiting for no response from him, Xiaoyu had to ask again: “What benefit do I get from sheltering you?” As the head of the Yun family business, Yun Shaoye naturally understood others’ courteous treatment of him was merely to gain advantages from him.
So they would try every way to curry his favor, working hard to win his goodwill.
For most people, gaining his favor was a benefit in itself.
”You don’t want to shelter me?” Logically, this woman should be begging to do so.
Xiaoyu stated directly, “Unless you can contribute something, I don’t keep useless people.”
Useless? This was the first time he’d heard someone describe him like that.
Having left in a hurry, Yun Shaoye didn’t have a single penny on him. Although he could transfer money through channels, doing so would inevitably expose his whereabouts.
He never thought he’d feel embarrassed about money.
”I don’t have money with me right now.”
”I can tell.” She had long guessed this; otherwise, why would he shamelessly ask her to shelter him?
As if to prove something, Yun Shaoye said, “I can do other things.” To prove he wasn’t useless.
”Like what?” As the head of the Yun family business, he surely knew many things.
Yun Shaoye was about to speak about his business management philosophy but stopped. He doubted these would interest her. Discussing such things with her would probably be pointless.
All along, bearing the responsibility of the eldest son, he had single-handedly carried the entire Yun family enterprise, playing the role of a competent leader.
Only at this moment, free from family burdens, did he suddenly realize that beyond the roles of son, elder brother, and CEO, he had never truly cultivated himself. His real self was surprisingly barren.
Xiaoyu impatiently urged again, “What can you actually do?”
Apart from work, socializing, and occasionally playing golf with clients, Yun Shaoye hardly had personal time, at most cooking something for himself during holidays.
