On the other hand, Xiao Qinke pretended to receive a call from Father Xiao in the evening. He said that he had arranged another date for their engagement and planned to bring forward the date of their engagement from half a month to seven days.
This also meant that Xiao Qinke could bring her dowry back to the Zhou family as soon as possible.
“If it’s seven days, will we not have enough time to prepare?” Mother Zhou was excited but worried at the same time. She was afraid that she would not be able to invite her family and friends in time, and that the engagement party would be too simple. She would not be able to make a name for herself in Jinchuan. “Mom, don’t worry. My dad said that you only need to provide the Zhou family’s guest list. He’ll take care of everything.” Xiao Qinke patted Mother Zhou’s hand considerately.
Mother Zhou was overjoyed. She felt that the Zhou family had been having a lot of good things recently and that they should go to the temple to fulfill their vows.
“Ke’er, to be able to meet you, our Tingyang is really lucky.”
“Who asked me to love him?” Xiao Qinke said as she hugged Zhou Tingyang’s arm.
However, Zhou Tingyang didn’t dare to be happy too early. If they forcefully took out 300 million from the Zhou Group, they would immediately run out of funds. Father Zhou had already warned him in the morning. Since Xiao Qinke cared so much about him, he might as well ask Xiao Qinke to return the 100 million yuan in cash first. When the time came, they would secretly replenish Xiao Qinke’s dowry. This way, everyone’s pride would be safe.
What Zhou Tingyang thought was that Xiao Qinke had more than 100 million in pocket money. With 200 million, he should be able to invest it all into the Zhou Group to keep it running.
“Ke’er,” Zhou Tingyang looked at Xiao Qinke and asked casually after Mother Zhou left, “Do you still have the 100 million yuan betrothal gift my parents gave you?”
Xiao Qinke was looking at her phone and laughing. When she heard Zhou Tingyang’s words, she casually replied, “Not anymore. I lent it to my friend to start a company.”
After hearing Xiao Qinke’s words, Zhou Tingyang stood up from the sofa agitatedly and exclaimed, “That’s 100 million, not 10,000!”
“Didn’t… Didn’t you say that you would give it to me? Then can’t I spend it where I please?” Xiao Qinke looked at the angry Zhou Tingyang and asked in return.
“The Zhou family spent so much effort to fork out 300 million just for me to marry you. Now that the Zhou family is about to have a financial problem, why didn’t you ask how the Zhou Group is doing?”
“I doidn’t know. You didn’t tell me.” When she said it this way, it made Xiao Qinke look like she was wronged.
“Can you get it back? Besides, don’t you still have 100 million?”
“Zhou Tingyang, aren’t you going overboard? How can I get back the money I lent? Besides, the other 100 million is my pocket money. What right do you have to use my pocket money?” Xiao Qinke was so agitated that she threw her phone on the sofa. She continued, “My dad said that if the Zhou family felt that it was difficult, we could go and get a divorce certificate. However, it was your family who begged us to get engaged. I hope you don’t forget that just because I love you, you don’t have the right to use my things as you please!”
After shouting, Xiao Qinke grabbed her phone and went to the guest room, slamming the door loudly.
“What did you do?” Zhou Tingyang’s mother walked out of her room and questioned Zhou Tingyang, “What did you do to Ke’er?” Zhou Tingyang couldn’t say it.
Finally, there was a time when he felt shameless.
“Mom, it’s okay. I’m going back to my room.” Zhou Tingyang felt very tired. He didn’t know how to explain it to Father Zhou tomorrow.
When he was with Ye Zhenzhen, the two of them had always been understanding and encouraging each other.
Now that he was with the Young Little Miss, she would throw a tantrum at him. When had he, Zhou Tingyang, ever suffered such grievances?
Mother Zhou shook her head helplessly when she saw that the two of them were going to separate rooms again.
These two enemies were going to be in big trouble in the future.
After returning to his room, Zhou Tingyang was still unwilling to give up.
This time, Xiao Qinke agreed. However, she took the IOU to the master bedroom and showed it to Zhou Tingyang. She said, “I can give it to you. Sign this first.”
When Zhou Tingyang saw the word ‘IOU’, his anger flared up. He snapped, “Are you crazy? Husband and wife writing an IOU? If you want to give it, then give it. If you don’t want to give it, then forget it. There’s no need to humiliate me like this, right?”
“This is called humiliation?” Xiao Qinke sneered, “You men are indeed good at scheming. You want to climb up to the Xiao family’s high position and even want to take benefits from me. Are you Zhou family leeches? You’re so good at sucking blood?”
“Get out.” Zhou Tingyang couldn’t stand it anymore and chased her away. He said, “Ke’er, I can’t see your love for me anymore.”
“Think whatever you want.” After saying that, Xiao Qinke tore the IOU and threw it at Zhou Tingyang.
Zhou Tingyang resisted the urge to hit her. He pointed at the door and shouted, “Get lost! ”
Xiao Qinke felt wronged. She was not willing to be outdone either. She retorted, “Fine, I’ll get lost. Don’t come begging me.”
After she left, Zhou Tingyang finally quieted down.
At this moment, he really missed Ye Zhenzhen’s quietness and kindness.
However, he could not go back in time…
After Xiao Qinke finished her act, she ran out of Zhou Tingyang’s apartment with her bag and found a five-star hotel. She planned to let the sc*mbag worry for the night.
Because she was now the ‘moving 300 million’ to the Zhou family members.
The Zhou family had sacrificed so much. How could they let her wander outside?
After taking the medicine, Xiao Qinke gave Lin Wanli a call. She hoped that Lin Wanli could arrange the details of the engagement party.
Such a tragic scene would definitely appear in the most high-class hotel.
Therefore, Lin Wanli told her to relax. In seven days, she could give her an incomparably luxurious engagement party.
However, after putting down her phone, Lin Wanli began to worry.
For Xiao Qinke to burn herself like this, she was probably really determined to die.
Behind her, a tall figure unknowingly hugged her. He whispered in her ear, “You’ve always understood how others do things. Why do you want to force yourself this time?”
Lin Wanli turned around and hugged Huo Jiuxiao.
[It’s just a pity.]
“Those who have received help don’t feel regret. Because she will be grateful for her entire life since she has also received kindness before.”
[Yeah.]
Lin Wanli felt relieved because there were many things that she could not force.
[Master, what if you return to the Huos and realize that you can’t force our relationship?]
At this moment, Huo Jiuxiao lifted Lin Wanli’s chin and kissed her devoutly. When the deep kiss was over, he said, “It’s something that both of us are willing to do. Why would I be forcing myself? Ah Li, you only need to Imow that as long as your heart doesn’t change, we husband and wife will always be one.
Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
“I will always be by your side. This is my promise to you.” After hearing this, Lin Wanli was shocked.
Because in the past, Master Xiao had never made promises..
