Chapter 62: Chapter 59: Qin Zhao, Call Me Hubby and Let Me Hear It (Extra)

"How can you speak like that?" Qin Siyu said unhappily, "Aren’t we thinking about your future?"

"I think you’re more concerned about your own financial prospects, huh?"

Qin Siyu’s expression flickered with guilt for a moment, then he boldly claimed, "If you want to come back to the Qin Family, you must find a way to bring down Ruan Xian. If you can’t do it, don’t even think about getting a share of the inheritance!"

"Your inheritance?"

Qin Zhao gave him a disdainful glance, "Old fool, do you realize you’re showing signs of impending financial loss? Don’t bother planning to leave it for me; just make sure you don’t starve in your old age."

"???"

Qin Siyu was caught off guard by how Qin Zhao dared to talk back to him, nearly losing his breath in shock.

"Qin Zhao! You... you are outrageous!"

Qin Zhao couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to leave.

Later, she ran into Zou Ziqi and inquired about Ruan Xian.

"Ruan Xian, huh."

Zou Ziqi’s expression was a bit strange.

"Miss Qin is asking about him why? If you meet him, it would be better to keep a distance. Ruan Xian was traumatized in the past and isn’t mentally stable."

"What kind of trauma?"

Qin Zhao arched an eyebrow; she knew that couple wasn’t up to any good.

And this Ruan Family, a major property developer, indeed held many secrets.

Zou Ziqi glanced around, ensuring no one from the Ruan Family was nearby, then whispered to Qin Zhao, "He likes to toy with women; he once forced himself upon someone and met with a fierce resistance – she cut off his... you know."

Speaking of it, Zou Ziqi felt a bit of sorrow.

"It’s a pity for that girl. The Ruan Family pressured her until she jumped from a building; her family didn’t end up with a good fate either.

My grandfather always warned me not to associate with these people from the Ruan Family; they’re all no good. I’m only here at this banquet to make an appearance."

No wonder Chairman Ruan carried such a heavy air of misfortune around him; it turns out his family’s younger generation has done many reprehensible deeds.

The Ruan Family ancestors must have accumulated deep merit, and their blessings haven’t run out yet, allowing them to remain safe despite committing evil deeds. But eventually, those blessings will deplete, and then retribution will follow.

"Evil begets evil. After the accident with Ruan Xian, the eldest young master of the Ruan Family’s new bride also met with tragedy. She hemorrhaged during childbirth; only the child survived, not the mother."

Zou Ziqi believed it was all karma.

He, though surrounded by fair-weather friends, never took part in harming or hurting others.

"Do the Ruan Family and the Qin Family have some kind of collaboration?"

Qin Zhao told Zou Ziqi about that Qin Siyu’s company.

He pondered for a moment, then seemed to recall something.

"The Ruan Family has quite a few valuable plots of land, and it seems the Qin Family is bidding for one of them. The government is planning new developments there; whoever gets it will make a profit."

Tsk tsk, was Qin Siyu planning to sell her to that eunuch from the Ruan Family in exchange for that land?

A flicker of irony passed through Qin Zhao’s eyes.

She knew Qin Kejing hadn’t brought over gifts the previous day out of the kindness of her heart.

While contemplating this, she happened to spot Qin Kejing in the distance.

"Oh? Isn’t that the sister you kicked out of the house? How come she can attend the Ruan Family’s banquet?"

"Of course, the Ruan Family invited her; she’s about to get engaged to Young Master Ruan."

"Which young master of the Ruan Family? One just lost his spouse, and the other is disabled; your sister fancies them? But then again, the Ruan Family does boast considerable wealth and power."

"She would do anything for money now."

As Qin Zhao approached, Qin Kejing squinted her phoenix eyes, her gaze falling on Qin Zhao’s bracelet.

The view was a bit distant, so Qin Kejing couldn’t tell the difference in the bracelet.

Actually, when Zhou Rui asked her to deliver the bracelet yesterday, it was indeed made of Red Jade. Since she intended to use Qin Zhao, Zhou Rui thought of giving her some benefits.

But filled with jealousy, Qin Kejing didn’t think Qin Zhao deserved such a fine bracelet and purchased a fake to switch. She kept the two million yuan Red Agate Bracelet for herself.

"Sister, that bracelet looks really nice."

Qin Kejing’s eyes carried a hint of malice as she reached out to grab Qin Zhao’s hand.

"A Red Jade bracelet? It indeed complements the skin tone, but it’s just over a million, not that expensive."

"Indeed, it does complement the skin tone, I’ll go buy one myself someday."

These people had been scheming against Qin Zhao behind her back, and now that Qin Zhao was here, each one of them revealed a kindly smile. However, there was a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Kejing let out a shriek, "This isn’t right, why does this Red Jade feel fake?"

A fake bracelet? The crowd was taken aback.

Everyone attending the banquet today was a celebrity in Imperial City. Who would wear fake jewelry? And a bracelet worth just over a million wasn’t that expensive, to begin with.

Could it be because Qin Zhao had been kicked out of her home, she could no longer present fine jewelry and had to resort to wearing fakes?

Qin Zhao had anticipated this act from Qin Kejing, as she had come here today to watch her performance.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the bracelet Chu Yan had gifted her?

"Little sister, take another look at what bracelet this is."

Qin Kejing looked closely, and it seemed that it wasn’t the fake bracelet she had bought the other day.

The others crowded around, including someone whose family sold jewelry, and they recognized Qin Zhao’s bracelet.

"This appears to be a Red Agate from Jin Yuman Tang’s auction, starting at fifteen million, and later purchased by an unidentified tycoon for nearly thirty million."

"How could it be the rare Red Agate, don’t joke around."

Qin Kejing couldn’t believe it; how could Qin Zhao possibly afford such a bracelet!

"I can’t possibly be wrong, I and my father were at the auction!"

She had given Qin Zhao a fake bracelet, so why did it turn into an even rarer Red Agate Bracelet?

Qin Kejing eyed Qin Zhao suspiciously, "Sister, mom and dad stopped giving you living expenses, where did you get the money for this? Did you swipe it from someone?"

Qin Zhao, seeing the jealousy in her sister’s eyes, couldn’t help but curl her lips in satisfaction.

"I gifted it, any problem?"

Before Qin Zhao could explain, a cold voice suddenly came from beside her.

Qin Zhao turned to look and saw Chu Yan, who had arrived at some point.

He wore a tailored suit which only accentuated his cold and lofty demeanor, and his handsome face with deep Phoenix Eyes observed Qin Kejing from above, his expression slightly displeased.

The women nearby were stunned by the sight of Chu Yan, their gaze transfixed on his face.

Qin Kejing felt her cheeks warm with embarrassment as she awkwardly asked, "You, who are you?"

"Your sister’s husb..."

Qin Zhao quickly pinched Chu Yan’s arm and explained to them, "Boyfriend."

She hurriedly walked away with Chu Yan, while the rest still stared at their retreating figures.

"Who was that guy? So handsome!"

"To attend the Ruan Family’s banquet, he must be someone of no ordinary status."

"I agree, that demeanor is not of an everyday person. And to afford a thirty-million Red Agate Bracelet, his family’s assets must start at ten billion."

Hearing their envious discussion, Qin Kejing’s teeth itched with resentment.

Where did Qin Zhao find this dumb rich second generation?

He was even more handsome than Shen Xihe, and he had given Qin Zhao such a precious bracelet— Shen Xihe had never given her a gift worth over ten million!

Meanwhile, Chu Yan thought about coming to support her, given that her own father and mother didn’t care for her.

But she had to pinch him and call him "boyfriend"? Husband and boyfriend, are they the same?!

Not long after Qin Zhao and Chu Yan left, she was pressed into a secluded corner of the staircase by him.

His cool and handsome face closed in slowly, his gaze dangerous.

"Qin Zhao, call me ’husband’ and let’s hear it."
