Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Buying Stocks

Seeing Yue Qingqing’s big eyes gazing at her, Lin Yushan didn’t treat her like a child.

She shared all her troubles with her.

"I guess Gui Yi saw my file, so he’s been harassing me all this time," Lin Yushan confided.

Yue Qingqing nodded, "I feel like he has ill intentions."

People with good intentions wouldn’t persist like this when they clearly know someone is already taken, would they?

Lin Yushan came from a good family background, her father’s official position was not low.

Gui Yi was someone who took shortcuts, and after seeing that, he felt he had an opportunity to exploit.

Although Lin Yushan quickly made it clear that she had a boyfriend, Gui Yi still didn’t give up.

Especially since he had some connections in Lingguang, he managed to find out through their former school that Lin Yushan’s boyfriend was Yue Jiannan.

Yue Jiannan had shifted to a non-agricultural status only after getting into college; Gui Yi naturally saw the other as a mere country bumpkin and didn’t take him seriously.

Seeing Lin Yushan’s firm stance, Gui Yi shamelessly went straight to Yue Jiannan.

He insulted Yue Jiannan as poor and stingy, unable to provide happiness for Lin Yushan.

He told him to be smart and stop clinging to Lin Yushan.

Yue Jiannan’s fiery temper was triggered instantly, and in his anger, he swore an oath – he wouldn’t settle down with Yushan until he could buy her an apartment.

After hearing the whole story, Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but lament, "Grandma is right, my uncle is really a blockhead..."

What was he thinking, letting his rival provoke him into madness?

Yue Qingqing pondered how the men in the Yue family would react if faced with the same situation.

Her old man had a bit of a sly character; surely he would get married immediately without another word, "You think I’m not good enough for my partner? We’ve already pulled the certificates; die of anger if you must!"

Her second uncle probably wouldn’t even bother with the other person.

Yue Qingqing felt that even Xiaohu probably wouldn’t fall for it and might just punch the guy out instead.

Only her uncle would get so infuriated that he fell right into the trap, swearing to make something of himself.

But he didn’t even consider...

Gui Yi’s current financial success was also reliant on his family connections, yet here you are, with your family having prepared everything for you, insisting on being self-reliant.

Isn’t it like using your own weaknesses to compete against someone else’s strengths?

It’s just Lin Yushan’s good nature; if it were anyone else, who could remain calm when their boyfriend keeps delaying the marriage?

That would really be playing into the rival’s hands, driving the couple further apart.

When Yue Qingqing criticized Yue Jiannan, Lin Yushan actually defended him.

"Actually, I can understand. I guess your uncle is also a bit traumatized by past events; he’s especially sensitive in this regard."

Lin Yushan had been schoolmates with Yue Jiannan since high school and had seen Yu Yaxian, so she naturally knew the whole story.

Yue Qingqing thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

The Yu family’s initial deceitful marriage proposal had been full of disdain for Yue Jiannan’s poor conditions, hadn’t it?

That was what compelled Yue Jiannan to grit his teeth and strive for college.

In this regard, he was already wounded. Poked by a rival in that same wound, wouldn’t he explode?

Yue Qingqing sighed. What a huge sin the Yu family had committed back then, causing her uncle to become somewhat extreme in this aspect now.

Lin Yushan was very open-minded, "It’s okay, I believe in your uncle, he’ll certainly find a way."

Yue Qingqing felt her aunt was just too optimistic.

An apartment in Lingguang – that wasn’t something a regular salary could afford.

That very night, she found time to call her uncle, reprimanding him somewhat angrily for the first time.

"Grandma said you should stop causing trouble and get married soon. Your marriage has become a big problem for our family!"

It was the first time Yue Jiannan had been scolded by his little niece, and he found it quite amusing.

"You live by the seaside and meddle so much? Is it appropriate for a child to wade into adult matters?"

"You know you’re an adult, right? Aren’t you being childish? They’re just trying to provoke you," replied Yue Qingqing.

Yue Jiannan snorted, "I know what I’m doing. I’m thinking of ways to make money."

Yue Qingqing exclaimed sarcastically, "What way can make enough to buy an apartment here? Even selling blood wouldn’t be enough, I reckon. Uncle, you might have to sell your kidney. How about I introduce you to a doctor? Their scalpel is really good, you can have painless kidney removal."

Yue Jiannan, realizing his niece was deliberately teasing him, let slip his secret.

"Your uncle has recently started buying stocks; maybe in a while, I’ll have enough money!"
