“Are you not letting down your parents?” Lin Wanli hit her where it hurt.
Xiao Qinke was suddenly stunned. She was used to blaming herself and being carried away by hatred. She had never thought about what her parents wanted her to do in the future.
“It’s too late now.” Xiao Qinke said with tears in her eyes, “There’s no cure. He’s just living an ignoble life.”
“Live one more day, and you can see more of this world for your parents.” Lin Wanli didn’t try to persuade her, and her tone was very calm. She didn’t like to preach, but she could understand Xiao Qinke’s inner struggle and desire.
“I’ll try my best.’
It was these four words again.
Lin Wanli tilted her head and looked at Master Xiao who often mentioned these four words. She revealed a faint smile.
Master Xiao frowned. He used the hand that was holding the chopsticks to support his temple. Then, he turned his head to look at Lin Wanli.
[I’m not laughing at you.]
Lin Wanli quickly comforted him.
[Eat more. You used up too much energy last night. Hurry up and replenish your energy.]
Although the two of them didn’t say much, there were a lot of small actions between them. The people opposite them all saw it. They were both shocked and impressed. They didn’t expect Lin Wanli’s ability and charm to be so great that she could actually make Huo Jiuxiao her lover who could also protect her.
“The three of you, hurry up and leave after eating!”
Master Xiao could not hold it in anymore, so he directly ordered them.
The three people opposite him wolfed down their food and left the private room as if they were running for their lives.
Seeing this, Huo Jiuxiao moved his chair away and pulled Lin Wanli onto his lap, letting her sit with her legs apart.
“Little sweet wife, are you complaining that I don’t have enough stamina?”
Master Xiao must not know how bewitching his voice was. Lin Wanli was shocked and her whole body went numb. However, she still pretended to be innocent and clung onto Huo Jiuxiao’s neck to tease him.
[When you woke up in the morning, your voice changed.]
“Alright.” Master Xiao remembered this in his heart and commented, “I’ll try to train again at night.”
Lin Wanli felt that her legs were starting to lose strength and quickly gave in.
[Hubby, I’m joking.]
Huo Jiuxiao’s eyes darkened, and a layer of lust immediately covered them.
Although he could not hear his little sweet wife calling him her husband with her voice, he could imagine in his mind if she was acting coquettishly and trying to please him.
Lin Wanli didn’t dare to move.
[Master, you’d better let go of me. This-I
Huo Jiuxiao let her go and warned her, “Next time, you won’t be so lucky, Ah
Lin Wanli had goosebumps all over her body again.
Then, an idea popped up in her mind.
[Actually, AFF’s office is quite close.]
After Lin Wanli thought about it, the tip of her ears suddenly turned red. This was because she couldn’t control it.
However, Master Xiao seemed to like it very much. He asked her in a low voice, “Is it easy to get in?” [I’m a serious businesswoman.]
Huo Jiuxiao ruffled her hair and smiled happily.
“How are you serious? Aren’t you quite lecherous?”
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the two families met again at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. This time, Father Xiao didn’t even look at Father Zhou. He said to Xiao Qinke directly, “Go in with that kid to settle the procedures. Your Mom and I will wait for you here today. Then, we will take you away from
Jinchuan.”
Xiao Qinke looked at Zhou Tingyang. She couldn’t bear it so she asked, “Why don’t we give them another chance?”
“What chance? There’s no room for discussion!” Father Xiao said firmly, “Don’t waste time here.”
The Zhou family looked at each other and decided to send Mother Zhou to talk to Father Xiao.
She took a step forward and said to Father Xiao, “In-law, what happened this afternoon was indeed our fault. I hope you can be magnanimous and not take our offense to heart. Old Zhou was just saying those words in anger.”
“Besides, we really love Ke’er. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. I treat her like my own daughter. I hope you can reconsider and don’t let the couple get a divorce, okay? We’ll buy the villa! Whether it’s 200 million or 300 million, we’ll pay for it. As long as you can calm down and Ke’er is satisfied, we’ll definitely show you our sincerity.”
Why did the Zhou family make such a big concession?
It was because the family of three had gone to prove that the Xiao family was indeed rich. They definitely could not miss this opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.
“I don’t know what your family of three is up to. I just want to take my daughter away now.” When Father Xiao spoke, he was obviously a little softer. “In-law, we’re really sincere. As long as you say the word.”
“Sincere? Alright, this is what you said. I want Ke’er’s name to be written on the 200 million yuan house. The payment must be transferred from my daughter’s account. In addition, I also want a 100 million yuan betrothal gift. I want it to be transferred to my account today. If you can do this, I believe in your sincerity,” said Father Xiao.
However, it was clear that it was very difficult for the Zhou family.
After hearing Father Xiao’s request, Mother Zhou quickly lamented, “In-law, our Zhou Group is indeed not as large as Zhongyue. We are not rich either. Can you reduce some conditions for the sake of Ke’er and Tingyang’s true love?” “Impossible,” said Father Xiao.
Seeing Father Xiao’s firm attitude, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou looked at each other again. This time, even Father Zhou was bewitched and wanted to join hands with the Xiao family, so he nodded.
“Alright, as long as Ke’er doesn’t divorce Tingyang, we’ll agree to all of your requests.” Mother Zhou promised generously. Finally, she saw Father Xiao’s anger dissipate. Then, she asked, “Why don’t we find a place to sit down and talk again?”
Originally, they only needed 200 million, but because of Father Zhou’s mess, they now needed 300 million. However, no matter what, they did not lose the Xiao family. Therefore, they both heaved a sigh of relief. During this process, Zhou Tingyang didn’t dare to say a word because there was no room for him to speak.
Father Xiao couldn’t help but look down at him. He felt that the extras in the neighboring production team were better than this kind of hooligan who was so irresponsible and arrogant.
They could hear the sound of the money coming from far away. No wonder they would fall for Xiao Qinke’s trap.
“Dad, please help me and Tingyang.” At this time, Xiao Qinke took the initiative to resolve the awkwardness between the two sides.
Father Xiao snorted but did not insist.
The two families finally found another cafe to sit down.
“The conditions just now, not a single one less. Your family is so calculative. I have to leave a way out for my daughter. Of course, if you can do it, I won’t be stingy with giving my son-in-law the Xiao family’s things.”
“Yes, yes, but In-law, a few hundred million is not a small amount. You have to give us some time to prepare.” Mother Zhou hurriedly tried to buy some time.
“Tomorrow, buy a villa and transfer the betrothal gifts. I don’t have that much time to waste with you guys… If you want this marriage, then don’t delay things that can be done easily..”
