The three members of the Leng family felt reassured once again.

"Brother-in-law, you've thought of everything so thoroughly!" Leng Yaozu was now extremely satisfied with Qiao Gaoyang. He hadn't really considered the house before, but after hearing what Qiao Gaoyang said, he felt it made perfect sense.

“You’re Shadow’s brother, so you’re my own brother!” Qiao Gaoyang patted his shoulder, acting like they were best buddies.

"The bride price for Yaozu..." Xu Fangfang brought it up again.

The 1,000 yuan dowry isn't a big deal, but the 250 yuan high-interest loan is quite urgent. After all, there are less than half a month left before the other party comes knocking on their door. If they can't come up with the money then, it won't be as easy to resolve as it was for Zhang Fuqiang.

"Auntie, don't worry, I can't possibly ignore my brother's situation. It's just that I didn't bring that much cash with me this time, and I came empty-handed. I'll definitely come back tomorrow with gifts and money, so you two can rest assured!" Qiao Gaoyang assured him.

Because his attitude was exceptionally good from the moment he opened his mouth, and he was always accommodating to the Leng family's requests, even offering to help them with their housing, the three members of the Leng family were convinced that he had feelings for Leng Yingying and would not dare to play any tricks on them, so they lowered their guard.

"The wine at home is almost gone..." Leng Qisheng hinted.

What kind of nonsense is this?

"Uncle, wait here!" Qiao Gaoyang immediately called Leng Yaozu to go out with him. They bought two bottles of wine at a nearby small shop and some braised meat at a braised food shop, and delivered them to Leng Qisheng's door.

In this way, thanks to his exceptionally high emotional intelligence, Qiao Gaoyang quickly won the favor of the three members of the Leng family.

They even made a promise to visit them again next time.

When Qiao Gaoyang left, Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang were still at the door seeing him off.

"This Qiao Gaoyang is quite good. I think he's even more capable than Zhou Jinglan!" Leng Qisheng was extremely satisfied.

In particular, they kept asking about Qiao Gaoyang's family situation along the way, but Qiao Gaoyang, being cunning, didn't tell the truth at all. He made up a story from beginning to end, never mentioning that he was also a member of the army, nor did he reveal his true family situation, keeping them on guard at all times.

“His family is in business and they’re rich. With Big Shadow by our side, our lives will definitely be better!” Xu Fangfang was very satisfied. She had not only included the bride price and wedding house in Qiao Gaoyang’s pay, but she also planned to have him pay for the wedding banquet. “Husband, we can’t agree to let Qiao Gaoyang marry Shadow so quickly. We have to let him cover Yaozu’s wedding expenses first before we can agree.”

In other words, they would never accept Qiao Gaoyang unless they first squeezed him dry.

Let's wait until we've had our fill of the good food, and then we'll see how we feel.

"Dad, Mom, do you think it's possible to ask my brother-in-law to just give me his car?" Leng Yaozu's eyes gleamed with excitement as he imagined himself driving Bai Shuyao around every day, looking all high and mighty. He couldn't even imagine how awesome that would be.

"Look at you, so pathetic!" Xu Fangfang poked her son's head and said confidently, "You're satisfied with just an old car? When the time comes, I'll have your brother-in-law buy you a new one, a better one. If he doesn't agree, we won't let him marry Shadow! Honey, don't you agree?"

Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang had the same idea, and the old man's appetite was even bigger.

“What’s a car? We won’t rent a house, we’ll buy one!” Leng Qisheng’s eyes gleamed. He didn’t want to live in the suburbs anymore; he wanted to get a big house in the city center.

"Mom and Dad, we need so much. Won't my brother-in-law run away?" Leng Yaozu asked worriedly.

"Run? With the way he treated us today and the way he treated Shadow, he's still head over heels in love with Shadow. Why would he run away?" Xu Fangfang said smugly.

Previously, Leng Yinghong had lied to Zhou Jinglan.

Things are different now. Qiao Gaoyang is clearly trying to curry favor with their family, so they have no choice but to bleed them dry.

Even if Leng Yingying and Qiao Gaoyang can't make it work in the future and break up, don't expect them to give back the benefits they've already gained. So, they should ask for as much as they can.

After leaving the Leng family, Qiao Gaoyang immediately returned to the shooting range.

Leng Yingying played a few rounds, but felt neither in the mood nor in the zone, so she saved the remaining time and sat outside alone waiting for Qiao Gaoyang to return.

"Have you been waiting long?" Qiao Gaoyang parked the car and walked to Leng Yingying's side.

Leng Yingying remained silent and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment, let's go see the boss," Qiao Gaoyang said.

Last time he came to play, Qiao Gaoyang didn't specifically look for the owner of the shooting range. Although he knew that the owner and Lu Zhengjun were good friends, they were just there to have fun and would pay as usual. There was no need to make a special trip to see him. But today, he wanted to settle something, so it was necessary.

"What do you want to see the boss for?" Leng Yingying asked, puzzled.

You'll find out soon enough.

Using Lu Zhengjun's name, Qiao Gaoyang easily met Jiang Chenglin.

"Are you also a friend of the Emperor?" Jiang Chenglin was very friendly towards Qiao Gaoyang and Leng Yingying. He guessed Leng Yingying's identity with just one glance. "This lady must also be an elite in the army, right?"

Just by looking at Leng Yingying's temperament, it's not hard to guess, especially since Jiang Chenglin was also in the military before, and this kind of similar aura is easy to detect.

"I'm not only friends with Zhengjun, I'm also his brother-in-law." Qiao Gaoyang didn't hide his identity when he wanted to ask for help.

“Boss Jiang, I know you have a good relationship with Zhengjun, and I do have something I'd like to ask you for help with, so I'll be frank,” Qiao Gaoyang said openly and frankly, stating his intentions. “I'd like you to help me check if your shooting range has any employees named Leng Qisheng, Xu Fangfang, and Leng Yaozu.”

"I think I vaguely remember this, wait a minute!"

Jiang Chenglin was a straightforward person. Given his relationship with Lu Zhengjun, since Qiao Gaoyang was Lu Zhengjun's brother-in-law, he would definitely help with this favor.

Besides, it's just finding someone, it's not a big deal.

After reviewing the employee roster, Jiang Chenglin confirmed the situation and also remembered the time when Xu Fangfang asked him for an advance on her salary.

“We don’t have any employees with the surname Leng here, but we do have a Xu Fangfang. I don’t know if she’s the one you’re looking for,” Jiang Chenglin said truthfully.

Qiao Gaoyang was certain that Xu Fangfang was lying to him; she really did work there.

"Boss Jiang, how is Xu Fangfang's work performance usually?" Qiao Gaoyang asked again.

At this point, Leng Yingying understood what Qiao Gaoyang was doing.

She had some doubts: would this really work?

For the shameless Leng family, even if they have something on their hands, will they obey?
