Qin Yan said with some envy, “Beibei, you’re really capable of finding a rich and handsome boss who is faithful to you. No wonder that Young Master Zuo is so obsessed with you!”
Su Bei was rendered speechless from Qin Yan’s remarks.
“Stop it.” Su Yu tried silencing Qin Yan by tugging on her arm.
Qin Yan did not care. “What? Am I not telling the truth? I was wondering why she ignored Young Master Luo when I introduced him to her. It turned out that she had a rich and handsome guy at her fingertips.”
Upon hearing the name Luo Yingdong, Su Bei quivered for a bit.
She looked at her mother and said, “Mom, I have nothing to do with Qin Mosheng. Don’t misunderstand it!”
Yao Guizhen was so angry that she yelled, “Misunderstand? He already made his way to our house, and you’re saying this is a misunderstanding?”
Su Bei took a deep breath. “Mom, I’ll clear up things with him. Don’t worry.”
Yao Guizhen coldly replied, “Su Bei, I don’t care if you’re telling the truth. In short, I forbid you to have anything to do with that lad.”
“Yes, Mom. I know,” Su Bei answered in a low voice.
“If he dares to come to our home again, you better leave this house. We will sever our ties then.” Yao Guizhen bellowed in rage.
“Aunty, I don’t understand. Why must you do this? Qin Mosheng comes from a wealthy and educated family. He also owns the largest magazine publishing company. Why do you oppose such a bachelor?” Qin Yan ignored Su Yu, who was trying to stop her.
Yao Guizhen took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Yan, you wouldn’t understand our family matters. Haven’t you guys been busy with the house renovations recently? Go on!”
Qin Yan peered at Yao Guizhen. “You can’t renovate a house just by talking. You need money. Over a hundred square meters requires at least 150 thousand RMB. How can I renovate when I don’t have the money?”
“Can you just stop your blabbering?” Su Yu interrupted her.
Qin Yan snorted. “I wish I can. If only you can give me a house that is nicely renovated, I don’t have to say anything.”
Yao Guizhen felt demoralized instantly. “Su Yu, do you really need that much money for the renovation? We’re still short 80 thousand!”
She had taken out her savings for Su Yu. It was a total of 70 thousand over the years.
Su Yu replied, “Mom, I was thinking of a simple renovation. There’s no need for so much. Seventy thousand is enough.”
But Qin Yan flared up. “Simple renovation? No way! I’m only getting married once in my entire lifetime. All my relatives and friends are waiting to see the new house! Besides, we’re staying in such a high-end estate. If your renovation is some shitty job, I don’t want to throw my face with you. If that’s the case, we can call off this wedding.”
Seeing Qin Yan flaring up, Yao Guizhen hurriedly said, “Yes, Yan is right. It’s a high-end residential, after all. We cannot afford to look miserly. Don’t worry, I’ll think of something. Don’t get angry. Both of you must get married.”
Qin Yan glared at Su Yu. “Aunty, we’re still short of 80 thousand for the renovation. Household appliances would cost about 40 thousand. What about the wedding car and banquet? All these would cost at least a ten-odd thousand. How can you, an old lady, fork out so much money?”
Qin Yan looked at Su Bei, who had not spoken for a while. “If Beibei marries Qin Mosheng, this sum will be just peanuts to her. Of course, this is considered a loan, and we’ll definitely return her the money. However, wouldn’t this resolve our pressing situation?”
Su Bei began to feel stuffy in the chest. Occasionally, she really wanted to ask her brother how he could be in love with Qin Yan.
Just because she was pretty and she saved his life back then?
