Chapter 27: Talk to Him
Qian had confronted this stubborn guy for a long time.
Yu Minglang, this stubborn stone, refused to let her go no matter what, whether she hit or cursed him. He just stood at the door, unmoving.
Qian, exhausted from hitting, glanced around angrily and finally noticed the house was quite large.
It had stairs, barely any decoration, just floors and walls, and even an echo when speaking. There was almost no furniture.
But it still couldn’t hide the essence of this guy being a rich man.
Qian snorted, speaking with irritation.
"Aren’t you just back from demobilization? What can that salary do? You must be corrupt, right? This two-story building isn’t cheap, is it?"
"Two floors, with a small rooftop garden... It’s currently vacant. The total construction area is 210 square meters, purchased with my personal earnings."
Why are you using such a serious tone to tell someone about this! Qian suddenly remembered.
In her past life, when he talked about marriage, he also seriously reported his personal financial situation and mentioned having a house like this.
"Big enough."
"Yeah, too small won’t do."
After speaking, the two fell silent, one looking at the ceiling, the other bowing their head, blushing.
Yu Minglang, damn you! Qian thought, flipping the bird internally. Was that a double entendre?
You’re a pure guy from two lives, how dare you speak to me like that!
Immediately, Qian assumed her lady boss aura, lifting her head, staring at the guy with slightly red ears due to a slip of the tongue.
"Yeah, if it’s small in every aspect, it won’t do."
Satisfied to see his ears turn red again—this pure guy dares to flirt with girls, let’s see how far you go! Qian was brimming with smugness inside.
Yu Minglang’s ears were almost burning. He felt he must have heard wrong. How could Zhou Zhiruo say something with such strong implications?
Don’t misconstrue a young girl’s words.
"I don’t care where you’re big, just let me go!" Qian finally had enough of teasing him, preparing to bypass him and leave, only to be pushed back and directly pinned onto the sofa.
"Damn you!" What a broken sofa, it’s wooden! Qian protested.
"Too hard, huh? In the beginning, it’s always like this. Once you’re used to it, it’ll be comfortable." Yu Minglang loved this set of rosewood sofas. Seeing her uncomfortable, he spoke without thinking.
Then he realized what he said, and Qian probably understood too. They both fell into a mysterious awkwardness.
A multitude of llamas ran across Qian’s mind.
Was she being teased by Yu the fool again?
Shameless...
No, this dangerous topic cannot continue; Qian keenly realized, the mode of her interaction with Yu Minglang was heading in a strange direction.
"I don’t know you, I’m not familiar with you; are you sure you want to meddle in my business?"
Yu Minglang stepped back, maintaining a safe distance from the girl. Though he wanted to sit next to her on the sofa, that would be too... something.
"My name is Yu Minglang, I’m 24, currently working at my own company. Now I’ve told you the basic situation, that counts as getting familiar."
Qian smacked her lips twice, stunned by his brazen familiarity.
Why, whenever she encountered these fools, her brain just automatically shut down?
"This house is my personal asset. Besides salary and stock dividends, I also do bonds. The money is earned by me from school till now, so your talk of corruption doesn’t hold."
Wow, being all official flaunting money at her? Qian pouted internally, if she hadn’t been reborn at the wrong time, it’s not like she couldn’t earn that little money of his.
"Sure, you’re great at financial management, you’re amazing — amazing enough to lock the door amazing, for what reason are you meddling with me?"
"I’m not forcibly controlling you, I’m persuading you. I’ve been doing financial investment since ’96, currently with total fixed assets of —"
"Stop!" Qian had enough of him.
Who wants to get involved, why immediately jump into reporting personal assets like that!
Always felt, the more you think about men reporting their wealth to women, the more that... something!
In Qian’s mind, Zhao Zhongxiang’s magnetic voice seemed to appear.
Spring has come, it’s once again the season of breeding, as the male wolf runs back and forth to win the favor of the female wolf, flaunting its shiny fur and ability to catch prey —
Blech!
What nonsense is this!
"Now, we’re no longer strangers." Yu Minglang earnestly looked at Qian and said.
He had just returned from his old unit not long ago, straightforward and upright, disliking hiding things — especially since the young lady seemed to be questioning if the money was legitimate, it was necessary to explain.
"I hope you give up using incorrect methods to retaliate against others."
Just speak, why that magnetic tone, I don’t want to reproduce Xiaowei, no, the wolf cub with you! Qian was interrupted in her consistently keen thought process by his seriousness.
She needed to keep her distance from this man; this guy came with a mental radiation, being close made her brain short-circuit, making her think all nonsense.
"Yu Minglang."
His name sounded particularly nice from her lips, Yu Minglang swayed slightly, then gathered his thoughts, returning to a serious tone.
"Speak."
"If I hadn’t discovered they were deceiving me, guess what my future would be?"
This question, heavy enough that Yu Minglang couldn’t answer it.
Qian could avoid looking at this guy, directing her unfocused gaze to an empty spot in the room, calmly stating.
"I would marry a homosexual, who isn’t willing to perform his duties as a husband; his physical defects manifest entirely in a twisted personality; he would hit me, abuse me in various ways, prevent me from harboring any beautiful fantasies about life; I would want to divorce, but he would use all means from his family to hinder me; it would be like a living hell, once inside, never getting out."
Just like in her past life.
"I would be beaten every day, forced to stay under one roof with a sissy; my family would refuse to shelter me, he would torture me in various ways without restraint, his family indulged him, they viewed homosexuality as a scandal not to be aired, but why should I bear this family scandal?"
"Your family... don’t they care about you?" Each time she spoke, his heart was pricked.
Clenching his fists tightly, only hating himself for not hitting those two scumbags hard enough today.
"Them? Ha, as long as there’s a son, who cares about spilt water? They need a son who can pass on the household registration, I’m just a daughter, my only value lies in exchanging for a huge dowry, to pay for my brother’s bride."
She didn’t wrong her family, because that’s exactly how they thought, and it’s what they did.
"Am I not human? Haven’t I worked hard? Haven’t I given enough? But who cared for me, if boys and girls are marked with two different labels by parents from birth, then why didn’t they just kill me when I was born?"
These words, Qian had bottled up for a long time, never saying them to anyone in the past life.
To say them to anyone, would be a joke, everyone was so busy, who had time to care for the fate of others, more so, she didn’t want to expose her weaknesses for people to see.
But, if it’s Yu Minglang, she was willing to speak.
