Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

"Susu, don't cry."

Su Wenjie tenderly took a tissue and wiped away her tears: "You little crybaby, you cry so easily."

"Wenjie, Xihe is back. She's the one you were betrothed to as a child, and me..."

Wiping away her tears, Qin Ruosu pushed him away: "Go and explain to Xihe, otherwise..."

"What am I supposed to explain? I like you, you're the one I grew up with, what does that have to do with that country bumpkin who just came back!"

Su Wenjie hurriedly pledged his loyalty.

Qin Ruosu is beautiful and a great dancer, making her a popular figure at school.

Winning over Qin Ruosu would not only improve relations with the Qin family, but also strengthen ties with the Zhang family.

He was the second son of the second branch of the Su family. His family didn't have much property to inherit, but his good relationship with the Qin family made him more respected by his family.

"But……"

Qin Ruosu hesitated, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful: "I should have given you to Xihe."

"Don't cry, Susu, it breaks my heart to see you crying like this."

If she dares to bully you, I'll definitely kill her!

Su Wenjie comforted Qin Ruosu by pulling her into his arms and patting her back.

With her head resting on Su Wenjie's shoulder, Qin Ruosu smiled.

As long as everyone thinks he and Su Wenjie are a couple, no one will remember Cheng Xihe.

She absolutely cannot give Su Wenjie to Cheng Xihe!

Qin Ruosu said gently in a low voice, "Wenjie, don't be like this. Xihe is still my sister. Let me talk to her again."

"I will only marry you!"

Su Wenjie gently smoothed Qin Ruosu's hair. "I'll talk to my dad about getting engaged to you when we get back!"

"Wenjie!"

Qin Ruosu pouted and buried her head in Su Wenjie's chest, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Su Wenjie smiled and said, "We've been together for so long, and you're still so shy."

Su Wenjie gently flicked Qin Ruosu's nose and led her to sit down: "Let's eat something."

*

Upstairs, Cheng Xihe, in a good mood, placed the gift in Qin Shengxia's room and left a card with it.

Back in her room, Cheng Xihe turned on her computer.

The messages kept popping up.

She was a friend she met while trading stocks, and they communicated using code names.

Behead: Sis, there's an academic conference. Do you want to come? Some of the leaders there want to meet you.

Spider: Not going, busy.

Behead: That's a pity. I heard that Mars, who caused a sensation on Wall Street back in the day, is coming too. He's your idol!

Spider: Really?

Behead: Would I lie to you?! The mysterious person is going to this academic conference in person, and I heard that many financial bigwigs will also be there.

Spider: When?

Behead: Mid-September, in the US. I'll send you the detailed address. Come on over. Mars also wants to meet you.

Spider: Okay, I'll go!

After closing the window, Cheng Xihe gave a faint smile.

I'm really happy to see my idol.

Long ago, when Cheng Xihe first entered the financial field, she was often tricked by people. She used her grandmother's identity to open an account and trade stocks, and she succeeded every time.

It was all a loss.

She had heard of Mars back then.

The opponent was very capable, and he wasn't very old when he swept through Wall Street.

She had also investigated Mars's whereabouts in private; he was very well protected and hadn't been seen for a long time.

She's much better at stock trading now than before, all thanks to what she learned from Mars.

After dealing with some of the scattered messages, Cheng Xihe landed on the top of the list.

The other party's requirement is to find Ghost Hand or Cloud Mountain Guest.

Yunshan Ke was her master, and he has probably moved to the African savanna by now.

But Ghost Hand had the chance to meet him.

Is it worth making 50 million?

Cheng Xihe considered his work and decided to make a small profit from this.

"In the end, money blinded me." Cheng Xihe muttered to himself as he accepted the task.

"Beep beep beep!"

Almost as soon as the call was received, Cheng Xihe's window began to shake.

In just over ten seconds, Bai Ce had already sent many messages.

Bai Ce: Boss, you take it!

Bai Ce: You must be reluctant to part with these 50 million, boss!

Bai Ce: It's okay, boss. I'll arrange a meeting for you.

……

Looking down, all you see is Bai Ce talking to himself.

Cheng Xihe: You're so noisy, are you bored?

Bai Ce: Boss, you finally replied to my message. They sent a message saying we'd meet tomorrow. Are you free?

Cheng Xihe: Check where the person is.

Bai Ce: He's in City A, his name is Yan Mingchuan, and he's a very famous person in City A.

Cheng Xihe: ?

So he doesn't come when she visits, and she has to take orders online to meet him?

They're quite high-profile.

Cheng Xihe: See you tomorrow. He'll decide the time and place.

Bai Ce: Okay

Cheng Xihe: An additional 10% service fee will be charged.

Bai Ce: ...

After sending Cheng Xihe's request to the other party, Bai Ce wondered if the other party would think he was being taken advantage of and decide not to come.

"drop!"

Upon seeing the additional 25 million in deposit and 5 million in service fees in his account, Bai Ce fell silent.

The boss makes money so fast! With just a tap of his hand, he can make five million with a single word.

Bai Ce: Boss, the 30 million has arrived. The remaining 25 million will be paid upon receipt.

After all, this is just the cost of the information, not the cost of treatment.

Cheng Xihe: Okay, I understand. Same as always.

Bai Ce: Understood!

After dealing with things in the room for two hours, Cheng Xihe got up to stretch his limbs, feeling exhausted.

When I passed by Qin Ruosu's room, there was not a sound inside.

She probably went out on a date with her boyfriend.

Without giving it much thought, Cheng Xihe went downstairs and found the first floor deserted. She randomly grabbed a passing maid and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, Miss." The maid lowered her head, trembling all over.

Releasing her grip, Cheng Xihe glanced down at the maid: "What are you afraid of? I won't hit anyone."

"No, it's nothing." The maid quickly shook her head, as if afraid of being beaten by Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe: I am really not a violent person.

"Alright, go get me something to eat."

"Yes."

Before long, a bowl of fragrant beef noodles was served.

Cheng Xihe added chili peppers, and his face turned red as he ate.

"It's so spicy."

After drinking a glass of warm water, Cheng Xihe first felt his tongue separate from his body, but he quickly recovered and the spiciness lessened considerably.

She was enjoying her meal when she heard rustling footsteps coming from the restaurant entrance.

The footsteps weren't light and airy; they sounded like someone dragging their shoes on the ground.

Cheng Xihe didn't look up, but through the reflected glass, she saw a short man sneaking into the kitchen.

It's Qin Yebai.

Qin Yebai took a pudding out of the refrigerator, along with an iron spoon.

Although this kid is unruly at home, when it comes to snacks, kids are naturally inclined to sneak around eating them.

More exciting.

"Ahem." Cheng Xihe coughed twice to remind him that someone was there, seeing his petty thieving behavior.

Qin Yebai clearly hadn't expected that there would still be people in the restaurant at this inconvenient time.

He turned his head stiffly, only to meet Cheng Xihe's teasing smile.

demon!

He's dead as long as he's with the devil!

"Clang!"

The pudding and spoon she was holding fell to the ground.

Qin Yebai's face turned deathly pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and he turned and ran away.

Cheng Xihe: ?
