Chapter 22 Let's make a bet?

"Money is like water in a sponge; you can always squeeze some out," Ye Qingning explained very seriously.

Lin Feiyan gave her a cold look, resolutely refusing to believe her nonsense.

So Ye Qingning asked tentatively, "I remember you're in charge of the Linqi Shopping Mall, right? Do I get a discount if I mention your name?"

Lin Feiyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "You can give it a try."

...

The following day, after Lin Feiyan left, Ye Qingning changed her clothes and took Xiao Cui straight to Linqi Shopping Mall.

As Ye Qingning browsed through the home furnishing stores, she selected complete sets of curtains, sofas, tables and chairs, hanging baskets, table lamps, interior decorative murals, and so on. Some of these items were paid as deposits, while others were paid in cash.

When it came time to pay the bill, Ye Qingning swiped her card for over 200,000 yuan.

It hurts both my heart and my wallet.

But considering that the money would bring her a good mood and increase her life points, Ye Qingning reluctantly gave it up.

Around noon, Ye Qingning finally came out of the furniture store.

She instructed Xiao Cui to bring staff to her home to take measurements and make custom curtains, and also arranged for the existing furniture and household items to be transported to her home in batches.

With everything arranged, she finally had some free time to stroll around the mall.

If you say you're going to buy clothes, you should at least buy a couple of pieces as a token, otherwise it will seem like you're not being sincere.

But the women's clothing in the luxury store was ridiculously expensive, with a complete outfit costing nearly 10,000 yuan. Ye Qingning looked at the price tags and hesitated to make a purchase.

With over ten thousand yuan, wouldn't it be better to just buy a small rug to put by the bed?

Just as Ye Qingning was about to leave, several girls suddenly entered the store. The one in the lead walked straight towards her and greeted her gently, "Sister, did you come with your brother-in-law?"

Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qingxue with a cold expression: "Is there something you need?"

Ye Qingxue sighed: "Well, Uncle Lin and You Nan are here for a meeting today, and my brother-in-law should be here too. I heard that the mall suffered heavy losses this time, and I guess my brother-in-law is going to get scolded again. But don't worry, You Nan will definitely speak up for him."

Ye Qingning noticed the disdainful looks from Ye Qingxue's group of girlfriends and instantly understood why Ye Qingxue had come over to talk to her.

They are always showing off their superiority.

"Instead of bragging to me, you should think about how to marry into the Lin family, my dear sister."

Ye Qingning crossed her arms, a smile playing on her lips, her tone cool: "At least I'm the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family now. What about you? Has Lin Younan ever promised to marry you? Has he ever publicly revealed your identity? Has he ever proposed to the Ye family?"

"You!" Ye Qingxue gritted her teeth, but then, remembering that her group of girlfriends were behind her, she instantly transformed back into a gentle and tender woman.

"Sister is joking. You always said that the person you loved was You Nan. You Nan would not reveal my identity because of the reputation of the Lin and Ye families. But we have long been in love and it is only a matter of time before we get engaged."

Ye Qingning raised an eyebrow: "I'll reiterate this one last time: I have absolutely no interest in your man, Lin Younan. But since you're so confident, how about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?" Ye Qingxue asked.

“Anyway, Lin Younan and my husband are both here today. So when they come out later, let’s go over and call my husband, and see which of them dares to answer, okay?” Ye Qingning suggested.

In her memory, Lin Younan had not gotten engaged to Ye Qingxue by the end of the previous episodes. It was clear that he was a cautious person. Unless Ye Qingxue became a superstar, she probably wouldn't be able to marry into the Lin family.

Ye Qingxue isn't even a nobody right now, so Lin Younan naturally wouldn't make any promises to her.

Sure enough, Ye Qingxue's expression changed upon seeing her: "Boring!"

She turned to leave, but her group of girlfriends grabbed her: "Xue'er, haven't you always called Young Master Lin 'husband'? What are you afraid of!"

"That's right. Ye Qingning has been causing trouble time and time again. Young Master Lin might not necessarily agree to her request."

"Exactly! Didn't you see she can't even afford a 10,000 yuan dress? That shows how awful Young Master Lin's attitude towards her is!"

After a few whispers among the crowd, Ye Qingxue found herself in a difficult position.

Although she was a little uneasy, she knew that if Ye Qingning spoke first, she would be the one to be humiliated. She could just find an excuse to leave.

Thinking this through, Ye Qingxue nodded: "Okay."

As luck would have it, just as she finished speaking, three people emerged from the passageway not far away: Lin Feiyan, Lin Younan, and Lin Yunshan.

The scene suddenly became exciting.
