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

midnight.

Cheng Xihe couldn't sleep, so he decided to go downstairs to sit on the swing in the pavilion.

She pushed open the door, took a few steps, and then stopped.

"Waaaaah..."

Cheng Xihe's ears twitched as he walked to Qin Ruosu's door.

Faint sobs could be heard coming from inside her room.

"Um?"

Cheng Xihe suddenly realized that the door was not completely closed.

She walked over and gently nudged her, just in time to see Qin Ruosu crying in Zhang Zhiyue's arms.

"Mommy, Jie and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. We love each other, okay? I don't want to go to a blind date."

I will not give up Brother Jie!

Qin Ruosu looked up, her eyes swollen from crying, looking extremely pitiful: "Mommy!"

"Don't cry, don't cry, be good."

Patting Qin Ruosu's head, Zhang Zhiyue helplessly advised:

"Alright, I've already asked Butler Ye, and it's indeed your father's idea. At least one member of our family should go."

This is their chance to get in touch with Yan Shi, and Qin Jian certainly won't let this opportunity slip by.

Qin Ruosu started making a scene: "I'm not going, I'm definitely not going!"

"Susu, the Su family's wealth is just so-so, while the Yan family is of much higher social standing than the Su family!"

Yan Mingchuan's family is even wealthier, so your life there will definitely be good. Besides, you will be the young mistress of the main branch of the Yan family!

Zhang Zhiyue had met Mrs. Yan when she was playing cards before, and after thinking for a moment, she said:

"That Mrs. Yan likes to gamble, she won't care about you. You're the one who calls the shots in the Yan family."

If Qin Ruosu marries into the Yan family, the Zhang family will also benefit. It's really a good thing.

"I don't want to!"

Qin Ruosu hugged herself and screamed, "No, no!"

"Okay, Susu, don't cry, don't cry."

Seeing that Qin Ruosu was losing control of her emotions, Zhang Zhiyue quickly comforted her.

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: Yan Mingchuan is so unpopular, yet he could make Qin Ruosu cry like this.

"Mom, you have no idea, that Yan Mingchuan has never appeared in public again, and he's disabled."

He might already be dead. Can you bear to let your daughter marry a cripple? Marrying a cripple is worse than... worse than death...

woo woo woo...

With that little bit of wealth, I'd rather be with Brother Jie!

Qin Ruosu had absolutely no interest in any powerful families.

The Su family is already very wealthy. What good would it do for the cripple from the Yan family to marry into their family?

"And you probably don't know this, but after Yan Mingchuan became disabled, President Yan took a child out of wedlock with him."

"In the end, the whole family will probably be filled with illegitimate children. What use is that cripple Yan Mingchuan? I'm not marrying him!"

After telling Zhang Zhiyue what she knew, Qin Ruosu wiped away her tears and said, "Mom, I don't want to go."

"Besides you, there are only those two sisters in our family." Zhang Zhiyue frowned.

Qin Ruosu, thinking of Cheng Xihe, cowered: "That Cheng Xihe is difficult to deal with, let Qin Shengxia go instead!"

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and Qin Ruosu perked up: "Mommy, go find Qin Shengxia, she'll definitely go."

Over the years, Qin Shengxia has been bullied by them but has never dared to fight back.

It's just a piece of trash that can be molded and shaped at will.

Zhang Zhiyue hesitated for a moment: "Susu, you are the most outstanding child in our family. Your father's intention is for you to go."

After all, she had climbed up the social ladder through the Yan family, and Qin Jian doted on Qin Ruosu the most, giving her priority in opportunities.

"I'm not going!"

Qin Ruosu refused without even thinking.

If the other person is a good-looking, healthy, and normal man, she wouldn't mind going to see him.

But Yan Mingchuan is a well-known cripple, and that's how his life will be for the rest of his life, so she absolutely won't go!

"Okay, I'll go talk to your dad about it later."

Zhang Zhiyue hugged Qin Ruosu and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay, if you don't want to go, that's fine too."

Outside the door, Cheng Xihe sneered, turned around, and went downstairs.

This family is indeed cunning...

The next morning, Zhang Zhiyue, in a good mood, went downstairs dressed in her best clothes, carrying the latest model of handbag.

Setting her bag aside, Zhang Zhiyue walked over to Cheng Xihe and circled around her: "Xihe, how's Auntie's outfit today?"

Ever since she received 100,000 yuan from Zhang Zhiyue, the other party has been coming to hang around her from time to time.

This was also a kind of torment for Cheng Xihe.

Rubbing his temples, Cheng Xihe's voice was lazy and slightly hoarse: "Ugly."

Zhang Zhiyue is not tall to begin with, and wearing this loose-fitting haute couture not only blurs her body proportions but also makes her look more like a giant bear.

Faced with Cheng Xihe's blunt remarks, Zhang Zhiyue paused and then said, "Then which one do you think Auntie should wear today to outshine those ladies? I can't lose today."

Today, I met a few girlfriends who went to get beauty treatments and play cards. They are all wealthy wives, but not very famous.

The Qin family is the richest among them, so she definitely can't let herself be outdone by others.

Cheng Xihe remained silent.

"Someone, bring me my art book."

Zhang Zhiyue glanced at the maid not far away, who immediately took out a tablet: "Madam."

Zhang Zhiyue lowered her eyes, flipped through the tablet, and placed it in front of Cheng Xihe.

This is a tablet that records all the clothes in Zhang Zhiyue's wardrobe, making it easier for her to choose.

Look here.

I tapped the 'skirt' button, and a huge list of skirts popped up.

These are all clothes from Zhang Zhiyue's wardrobe.

Cheng Xi calmly took out his phone and opened Alipay's QR code for receiving payments: "Fair trade."

Zhang Zhiyue: ...

With a twitch at the corner of her mouth, Zhang Zhiyue still nonchalantly transferred the money: "Got it? Hurry up and pick one out for me, I'm heading out."

"Um."

Cheng Xihe received a string of cold numbers: 100,000 yuan.

Her gaze fell on the tablet as she made her selections.

Just then, Qin Ruosu came downstairs: "Mommy!"

She saw Cheng Xihe eating breakfast while watching a tablet, with her mother standing right next to him, so she quickly rushed over.

"Susu is up."

Zhang Zhiyue patted Qin Ruosu's head.

Qin Ruosu and Jian Chengxi didn't even look up, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, didn't you see my mother is here? How can you be so rude, making my mother stand by herself?"

Zhang Zhiyue: My ancestors...

Holding Qin Ruosu's hand, Zhang Zhiyue said, "Susu, let's go sit over there and have breakfast. I'll take you out later."

"Mom, look how rude she is." Qin Ruosu glared angrily at Cheng Xihe.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

The chopsticks were slammed hard onto the plate.

Startled, Qin Ruosu screamed and hid behind Zhang Zhiyue: "What, what are you doing!"

Cheng Xihe raised her eyes, her gaze icy: "With so many seats available, why don't you sit down yourself?"

"Sit if you can, get out if you can't!"

"you!"

Qin Ruosu looked at the shattered plate, swallowed her anger, and dared not say another word.

Zhang Zhiyue quickly pulled her down to sit: "Stop fooling around, I need to talk to Xihe. You eat your breakfast by yourself, housekeeper!"

"lady."

Butler Ye placed the breakfast in front of Qin Ruosu: "Miss, please enjoy your meal."

After a moment of silence, Qin Ruosu couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Mommy, what do you want with her?"

"Shh..."

Zhang Zhiyue sat down next to Qin Ruosu and whispered a few words in her ear.

"what?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhiyue's words, Qin Ruosu's expression changed...
