"Alright, Qingyan, Dad will go out and borrow money right now."
But in such a short time, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to borrow enough.
As he stood up, he caught a glimpse of Lin Sisi sitting next to him out of the corner of his eye, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.
Once Gu Mingzhou and Lin Qingyan break off their engagement, he can get engaged to Lin Sisi. Gu Mingzhou has been in the army for many years and must have saved up a certain amount of allowance. His parents are both leaders in cotton mills and must have a lot of savings. Lin Sisi can borrow some money from Gu Mingzhou first. After they get engaged and married, they will be a family. There's no need to pay back the money then.
This is actually a great idea.
So he called Lin Sisi, "Sisi, come to my room, Dad has something to tell you."
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Lin Sisi quickly stood up and followed Lin Heping into the house.
Lin Heping then told Lin Sisi his thoughts: "Sisi, Mingzhou likes you so much, he wouldn't refuse to lend you even five hundred yuan. Consider this a favor you've done for your father. When you get married, your father will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you."
He winked at Lin Sisi and lowered his voice: "Qingyan will be leaving soon. From now on, Dad will only prepare a dowry for you."
"Thank you, Dad." These words were especially pleasing to Lin Sisi: "Dad, don't worry, Brother Mingzhou will definitely help us."
"Okay. Call your mom, let's go to the Gu family now, and then Dad will go ask around at other families."
"OK."
The three of them went out together. Lin Guanghui didn't want to stay at home with Lin Qingyan, so he went out to play with his friends. Lin Qingyan was left alone at home, enjoying some peace and quiet.
Half an hour later, Fang Huilan and her daughter Lin Sisi returned home first, and another half hour later, Lin Heping returned home.
He went to his room, took out all the money in the house, and gave it to Lin Qingyan.
"Qingyan, you've emptied my savings! It'll take me years to pay off these debts."
Lin Qingyan took the money. "You don't need to play the victim in front of me. You're not pitiful at all. The only one who's truly pitiful is me. If you want to pay off your debts, that's your fault. This money didn't belong to you in the first place, and you withheld it. As for paying back the money, that's your own business. Don't complain to me. You're not wronged at all."
Lin Qingyan counted the money, making sure not a single bill was missing, before putting it into her bag, or rather, into her spatial storage, as that was the safest place for her.
After a moment of heartache, Lin Heping slowly exhaled.
He was the workshop director, and he also had to be the father-in-law of an officer and the in-law of the cotton mill leader.
With these favorable external conditions, the money he lost will soon be back in his hands.
He comforted himself in this way, and his mood improved somewhat.
Lin Sisi said, "Oh dear, Dad, Mom, Mingzhou is coming to our house soon. Let's quickly boil some water so we can make tea later."
When she spoke, she deliberately looked at Lin Qingyan, just to make Lin Qingyan angry.
Lin Heping and Fang Huilan also smiled: "Yes, yes, we still have to entertain Mingzhou later."
However, when Lin Sisi saw her clothes, she realized that the clothes she had just bought were going to Lin Qingyan, so she couldn't show them off in front of Gu Mingyu.
She ran up to Lin Qingyan and asked, "Little sister, can I borrow your clothes for a bit?"
Lin Qingyan took off the dirty shirt and threw it on the ground like she was giving alms to a beggar: "Take it."
Lin Sisi was annoyed: "This is so dirty, how am I supposed to wear it?"
"Fine, don't wear it if you don't want to."
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she felt they were being boring, so she got up and went back to her room to lie down.
Lin Sisi kicked the shirt on the ground, never expecting that one day Lin Qingyan would give her charity.
About twenty minutes later, she heard the voices of a strange man outside. The man spoke very politely to the Lin family members and exchanged pleasantries. She thought it was probably Gu Mingzhou who had arrived.
Yesterday, Gu Mingzhou said he was coming to visit him at home, but he accidentally saw Lin Sisi changing clothes in her room. Lin Sisi was completely naked and was seen by him.
He said he had to take responsibility for Lin Sisi, so he needed to break off the engagement with her first.
The story of the original owner's betrothal to Gu Mingzhou begins with her mother. Back then, because her mother had saved Gu Mingzhou's mother's life, Gu's mother was grateful to her mother, and the two became sworn sisters. In order to strengthen their ties, they simply arranged a betrothal for their own children as well.
However, after her mother passed away, Gu's mother, her good friend, rarely visited the daughter of her benefactor and good friend, and Gu Mingzhou's visits were also extremely infrequent.
They saw that the original owner was not doing well in the Lin family, but chose to turn a blind eye and offered no help to the original owner.
Perhaps because the original owner of this body had always lacked the love and care of her family, the rare visits from Gu's mother and Gu Mingzhou made her cherish them all the more.
That's why she felt sad and heartbroken when Gu Mingzhou said he wanted to take responsibility for Lin Sisi.
In fact, the original owner's feelings for Gu Mingzhou were not romantic love at all, but simply a desire to be protected and loved.
Now she has no lingering affection for Gu Mingzhou whatsoever. Lin Sisi likes that man, and she's willing to strip naked to seduce him; she might as well give him to her.
A short while later, Lin Sisi came to knock on her door.
"Qingyan, Brother Mingzhou is here. Can you come out for a moment?"
Lin Qingyan felt nauseous. Mingzhou, who hadn't even broken off the engagement with her yet, had already become her brother-in-law.
Lin Qingyan opened the door, not bothering to argue with Lin Sisi about how Gu Mingzhou was addressed. She glanced at Gu Mingzhou; the man opposite her hadn't sat down yet. The most striking features of him were his height of about 1.8 meters and his olive-green military uniform.
As for his appearance, he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, which is quite in line with the current aesthetic standards.
As she was sizing up Gu Mingzhou, his gaze casually fell on her, but after just one indifferent glance, he paused.
The girl was still the same girl, but today she was wearing a brand new dress. Although the dress didn't fit her perfectly, it still made her look much prettier than usual.
External changes weren't what attracted him; he noticed that the girl's eyes seemed different than before.
When he usually came here, she would always lower her head and look at him timidly. He disliked girls who were so timid, weak, and had weak personalities.
But now, the way he looked at her was no longer timid and evasive. Her gaze was scrutinizing, probing, and cold and indifferent.
There was a hint of sharpness and determination in his gaze.
Seeing Gu Mingzhou staring intently at Lin Qingyan, Lin Sisi suddenly felt jealous and went over to tug at Gu Mingzhou's sleeve.
