Synopsis: Qin Sheng (Gong/Attack) x Xu Zhaoyi (Shou/Receive).
Not long after Qin Sheng transmigrated into a sickly villain in a certain 'Dragon King' web novel, his system stealthily ...
Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Do you like Qin Sheng?
Qin Sheng had no hobby of embarrassing women in public. In addition, Jin Nianyue died in the previous life while helping the original owner, so he used the excuse of having important matters to discuss with Jin's father and mother, allowing Jin Nianyue and Xu Zhaoyi to leave temporarily to be alone for a while to reminisce about the past.
Noodles also tactfully used Xu Zhaoyi's long legs as a slide to slide down, to prove his innocence and that he had no intention of eavesdropping.
However, after Xu Zhaoyi took a closer look at it, he picked it up and took it away in his arms.
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and understood that Xu Zhaoyi was implicitly telling him that he no longer had any resistance to this forced cooperation and was willing to be open and honest to a certain extent.
Noodles, who had been 'kidnapped', was quite cocky and whispered to him remotely: [Don't worry, I will help the host guard against a love rival!]
Qin Sheng said helplessly: [Stop searching for enemies in the void. You'll be helping me if you just stay calm and don't cause any trouble.]
[Hehe! You don't know how to manage a good leader!]
[………]
Qin Sheng no longer paid attention to Noodles. After all, it was just talking nonsense and would not really do anything.
Father Jin couldn't contain his excitement any longer. When the three of them were alone in the living room, he rubbed his hands and said, "How did Young Master Qin know Xiaoyi? We all thought he had gotten into trouble some time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have found another good match for my daughter. Look at the fuss this has caused..."
It would be fine if Qin Sheng just checked his daughter's past and found Xu Zhaoyi's whereabouts by the way, but if Qin Sheng and Xu Zhaoyi had been friends for a long time, then this matter would be quite embarrassing.
In fact, Xu Zhaoyi grew up under their noses. If he really knew the eldest young master of the Qin family before, the Xu family would not have dared to neglect him so much over the years, and would have even tried to curry favor with him.
Father Jin was originally quite sure that it was the former. In this case, he said that his daughter and Xu Zhaoyi had a misunderstanding that broke up the engagement they had been engaged in since childhood, and that it was fate that decreed that they were not destined to be together. As long as Qin Sheng listened to him, perhaps his goal of using marriage to climb into the Qin family might have a chance to turn around.
Just now, although Qin Sheng did not show any obvious surprise towards his daughter, they nodded and greeted each other with kind eyes, which showed that they were not rejecting each other at least.
But when Qin Sheng opened his mouth, Father Jin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his last hope was over.
Qin Sheng addressed Xu Zhaoyi in a familiar way, and Xu Zhaoyi acquiesced to Qin Sheng's casual arrangement. There was really no awkwardness at all, as would be expected between two people who had just met by chance.
However... Father Jin's eyes flashed slightly. The current situation is not completely unprofitable. Xu Zhaoyi knows Young Master Qin, and it seems that they have a good relationship. Then it is not impossible to restore his engagement with Nian Yue. As long as you manage this network well, there will always be opportunities to gain benefits.
Xu Zhaoyi is not close to those relatives of the Xu family who are cold and indifferent to him. Although his family treats him indifferently, it is better than those in the Xu family who hope he will die. What's more, his daughter is willing to listen to his arrangement of marriage in order to help him continue to find this guy. With Xu Zhaoyi's character, he will definitely not be indifferent when he knows about this. When there is benefit, he will naturally think of them first instead of the Xu family.
After thinking about it for a while, Father Jin's heart became hot again.
Qin Sheng watched his changing expression with a smile on his lips. It seemed that the Jin family was really defeated. Any cultivation family with a little foundation, no matter what their qualifications were, growing up in such an environment, would have at least learned some knowledge of physiognomy, even if they were not proficient in it.
Some families even have the most accomplished person in the family cover the face of their newborn shortly after birth, making it impossible to see clearly with ordinary means.
I don’t know whether Mr. Jin never looks in the mirror or he really can’t see his own problems.
Even Qin Sheng, who had only met him for less than half a minute, noticed that his seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear, and shock were very typical signs of a bad aura and mental exhaustion.
Such a person's luck is too bad, and if he doesn't make changes, his luck will get worse and worse. No matter what he wants to do, he will not succeed.
Sure enough, the next second he heard the clicking sound of the other party's abacus beads.
Father Jin pretended to be in deep thought for a moment before saying, "No matter what, we thank you for sending Xiaoyi back safely. Now that he's fine, his engagement with Nianyue should be revived. I thought we should just take this opportunity to hold their wedding directly to avoid any further complications. If Young Master Qin can honor us with an appearance..."
"Uncle Jin...you misunderstood."
Considering the connection between Jin Nianyue and the original owner, Qin Sheng tried to interrupt him as politely as possible.
"I didn't send Azhao back to rekindle his relationship with Miss Jin. Azhao heard about what happened recently and was worried about Miss Jin's situation, so I offered to accompany him to see her."
"...What does Young Master Qin mean by this?" Father Jin carefully chewed over these combinations of sentences several times but was still unsure what they meant.
"What I mean is, I hope you two won't do anything that will make Miss Jin unwilling and make A Zhao worry."
Qin Sheng didn't care about the two elders in front of him, especially Jin's father, who looked gloomy and held his breath. He said to himself, "Of course, I understand that it was not easy for you to raise her, but since you can sell your daughter under the guise of marriage, you should not mind finding another way to make a profit, right?"
As he spoke, he pulled a business card from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.
Father Jin subconsciously looked over and found that there was only an unfamiliar name and email address on the business card, and no other contact information, phone number or address.
"You can propose any conditions, whether it's money or cultivation resources. If you've decided, contact me for private assistance. I'll consider it. If it's not too excessive, I can pay you in full in one lump sum."
Qin Sheng saw the greed and confusion flashing across Father Jin's eyes, and he seemed a little unsatisfied. He sneered and said indifferently, "You don't have to agree. I don't mean to force you. I'm just doing this to save trouble, but it's okay if it's a little troublesome."
In fact, letting Jin Nianyue grow up on her own and break free from the control of her original family is the only way to solve the problem once and for all, but Qin Sheng needs to eliminate all of Xu Zhaoyi's worries as soon as possible, so he doesn't have the patience to give it to others.
Anyway, he has already won Jin Nianyue a certain period of freedom, and how things develop afterwards depends on her own choice.
He thought so, but Mr. and Mrs. Jin had no idea what was going on in their minds after hearing what he said. Their faces turned pale at the same time. Mr. Jin couldn't help but tremble slightly with both hands as he took the business card. The cold sweat on his forehead was full of cherishment for his own life.
Qin Sheng: “…” speechless.
Forget it, as long as the goal is achieved, these two people are not the male protagonist with great luck, so he doesn't need to be careful with them.
[Hahaha, Waterloo, right?] Noodles' gloating voice suddenly rang in my head.
Qin Sheng was not annoyed. It was just the couple's opinion. Besides, the Qin family had a bad reputation and it had nothing to do with him.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "What's going on over there? Have they finished catching up?"
Noodles reported excitedly, "Almost done. Little Daddy just told Jin Nianyue about your engagement. He must have been a little embarrassed when he said that. Anyway, he almost pulled my vest's hair out unconsciously. But Jin Nianyue was super calm and just asked dryly if it was his will."
It paused deliberately, not waiting for the desired response: […Why don’t you ask me how he answered?]
Qin Sheng could guess it: [Do I even need to ask you this? He just said "hmm", right?]
[Correct answer, but unfortunately no prize.]
Noodle Cat's whiskers quirked: [However, Jin Nianyue didn't let him go. Perhaps realizing that this question wasn't comprehensive, she then asked, "Does little daddy like you?" Hahahahaha!]
[………]Qin Sheng sometimes really doesn’t understand why an electronic life form can be so lively and gossipy.
Noodles continued to verbally relay: [My poor little daddy, his face flushed red at the question, but he could only nod against his conscience.]
[………]
[I've been talking so much, host, isn't it polite for you to respond at all?]
[Okay, okay, I get it.]
Qin Sheng complained that his own system was too noisy, while Jin Nianyue also noticed something unusual about the noodles out of the corner of his eye.
"This is the first time I've seen such a rich variety of expressions on a cat's face." She also noticed Xu Zhaoyi's discomfort when he mentioned Qin Sheng in front of her, and wanted to change the subject.
"When did you get this cat? Is it super smart or does it have...mental disabilities?"
In short, it is definitely not normal.
Noodles: “…” I really want to tell this woman that no human with a normal brain would suspect a cat is mentally retarded when seeing a cat with an unusually lively expression!
Xu Zhaoyi smiled slightly when he heard this, but without letting Noodles see, he replied seriously, "This is Qin Sheng's cat. It's just very smart and intelligent, not mentally retarded."
"Indeed, that Young Master Qin seems to be the type of perfectionist who demands perfection in everything."
She hesitated at the end. This cat is not only a big user of emoticons, it is also probably a little overweight. Apart from the iconic cat face, the rest of it seems to be a bit inconsistent with the standard of perfectionism.
“…It’s actually not that bad?” Xu Zhaoyi was a little surprised by her evaluation of Qin Sheng. Based on his experience of getting along with him these days, he really didn’t notice what she said.
Qin Sheng has always been easy to talk to.
If we have to talk about perfectionism, it is probably in the way of doing things. Qin Sheng does have some perfectionist tendencies. He is used to planning before taking action and carefully eliminating all hidden dangers.
Otherwise they wouldn't be at the Jin family today.
But Qin Sheng did not have such requirements for the people around him. Not to mention that Noodles was occasionally naughty, Qin Sheng had never shouted at it. His emotions were as stable as the gloomy and critical person in his previous life.
To him...
Xu Zhaoyi paused.
Well, putting aside the presumptuous and abrupt forced marriage at the beginning, Qin Sheng was mostly accommodating to him.
If their cooperation goes smoothly in this life, and Qin Sheng always has this kind of character and does not go astray, he is willing to forget those things in the previous life, just treat it as getting to know each other again, and truly regard him as a brother.
