Chapter 355 If I Had Known Sooner
What do you want! Huo Huai Sui really wanted to strangle this idiot.
Three hundred million, not three dollars!
The fool who had been scammed asked innocently, "What happened?"
"What else?" Huo Huai Sui thought to herself, "You're going to make me so angry!" "Did you give my brother money?"
Xie Qinglan: "Dowry."
"We're not getting married, so why give a dowry?" Huo Huai Sui swallowed those words, looking utterly distressed. "Then it shouldn't be given to my brother! He's not my father, his word doesn't count. Giving him money is like giving alms to a beggar on the street. At least a beggar will say thank you. What is my brother, that bastard? He's shameless."
It's better to give it to her than to give it to her brother. It would be better to give it to her mother, her father, or even to her.
Xie Qinglan chuckled. "You're already worried about my money before you're even married?"
"Who cares about you..."
When Huo Huaisui met the fool's smiling gaze, the words he was about to say caught in his throat.
Forget it, there's no point in talking to him.
Exhausted, she waved her hand and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
There was nothing she could do about it. She knew her brother's character well; he was a miser, a penny-pincher, and once he took money, there was no chance he would ever give it back, not even if she, his own sister, hanged herself in front of him.
Xie Qinglan scrutinized Huo Huaisui's exposed skin, her eyes gradually darkening. "Didn't you just wash this morning?"
Huo Huaisui stared at him, "You've washed up, and then what?"
Then… Xie Qinglan, seeing Huo Huaisui’s increasingly fierce gaze, suppressed a laugh and wisely refrained from continuing, “Shall I help you?”
"No." Huo Huai Sui refused without even thinking.
Asking him to help wash is worse than not washing at all.
Huo Huai Sui, wrapped in a bath towel, climbed out of bed and limped towards the bathroom.
A persistent, scoundrel's voice came from behind: "You really don't need my help? I promise I won't do anything."
Huo Huai Sui ignored him and closed the door in front of him.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the moment the door closed, she thought she heard him laughing.
Huo Huai Sui pursed his lips.
LOL.
When Huo Huai Sui came in, he also brought his cell phone with him.
The bathtub was filled with water, and Huo Huai Sui, wrapped in a bath towel, sat directly inside.
"hiss--"
He accidentally pulled on something, and Huo Huai Sui winced in pain.
You bastard!
If she had known Xie Qinglan's skills were so poor, she would have refused to comply.
No, she should have broken up with him decisively when he went abroad!
That way she wouldn't have to suffer like this...
Huo Huaisui picked up his phone, opened his WeChat Moments, and posted a new update—
[SuiSui: Bad review!]
Who needs a boyfriend? Boyfriends are harmful to your health!
A lewd and shameless voice came from outside the bathroom door: "I put in so much effort and worked so hard, and you only give me a bad review?"
Huo Huaisui: "..."
So what if she gave him a bad review? She hasn't even complained about him yet.
That damn liar, he even lied to her and said it didn't hurt.
Just as Huo Huai Sui couldn't accept Xie Qing Lan's terrible skills, Xie Qing Lan also couldn't accept this negative review.
He felt good about himself and thought he had done a good job.
The negative review from my girlfriend was just nitpicking.
However, Xie Qinglan wisely chose not to argue with his girlfriend at this moment. If she retreated inside and refused to come out, he would have to ram the door. Breaking the door would not only require hiring someone to fix it, but his girlfriend would also be angry, which would be counterproductive.
Xie Qinglan changed the subject, "It's August now, what do you think about having the engagement banquet in October?"
Huo Huaisui: "Not very good."
Xie Qinglan pretended not to hear and continued to ask, "Do you prefer Chinese or Western style? Or if you're willing to go through all that trouble, we can have two events, one Chinese and one Western."
Huo Huai Sui had only ever seen people hold two weddings, never two engagement parties, so she thought her boyfriend's suggestion was just plain crazy. "I think it's better not to have one at all."
“That won’t do,” Xie Qinglan said. “Your boyfriend is so handsome, you should assert your ownership as soon as possible.”
Huo Huaisui blurted out, "What's the use if it looks good but isn't practical?"
The air suddenly became still.
Xie Qinglan's voice did not come from outside the door again.
Huo Huai Sui's right eyelid began to twitch, and a very bad premonition rose in his heart.
Soon, her bad premonition came true.
She heard the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and the door opening.
"!"
Huo Huaisui jumped up from the bathtub and rushed over to try and block the door.
But she was no match for Xie Qinglan.
Xie Qinglan pushed the door open with almost no effort.
He casually tossed the keys outside, his gaze turning sinister as he looked at Huo Huai Sui, his tone gentle: "What did Sui Sui just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again?"
Huo Huaisui wanted to cry but had no tears.
If only she had known, if only she hadn't been so obsessed with those abs!
-
Huo Huai Sui doesn't want to get married or engaged; she feels that things are fine as they are.
But Xie Qinglan refused, forcing her to choose between two options.
If I choose neither of them, I'll die with her—in bed together.
What choice did Huo Huai Sui have but to get engaged?
Xie Qinglan, being a shrewd person, naturally saw through Huo Huaisui's resistance to marriage.
Just as he was always confident in his skills, Xie Qinglan also believed that his girlfriend's reluctance to marry him was not because of him, but because of something else.
Xie Qinglan's approach to this matter was to remain silent in front of her and instead turn around and cause trouble for her brother-in-law.
Having received 300 million from him, I have to do something for him.
Upon learning that his younger sister was causing trouble again, and that the promised marriage had turned into an engagement, and that she didn't even want to get engaged anymore, Huo Huai'an called his sister home.
Huo Huai'an: "Weren't we planning to get married right away? Why aren't we getting married now?"
Huo Huai Sui turned his head away and looked elsewhere. "If you don't want to get married, then don't. Why are there so many questions?"
Huo Huai'an scoffed, "Pretentious."
Huo Huaisui immediately retorted, "You don't know anything!"
Huo Huai'an: "Your brother doesn't know as much as you do, after all, everything you say sounds like you're talking nonsense."
Huo Huai Sui angrily accused him: "Don't think I don't know, you're afraid they'll take back those three hundred million, and you can't wait for me to get married."
Huo Huai'an retorted, "You won't marry me if I don't accept these three hundred million? You want to be taken advantage of like a fool? Do you think Xie Qinglan would agree to that?"
Huo Huaisui felt his pride had been hurt, "Who got it for free!"
"Money, feelings, body..." Huo Huai'an sneered, "Then tell me, which one haven't you slept with?"
Before Huo Huai Sui could speak, Huo Huai An continued, "Do you really think a pie will fall from the sky? That Xie Qing Lan is a philanthropist? He's never been a generous person. He's been holding on for so many years, giving you so much unconditionally, just to tie you down. Tell me, do you really have the nerve to break up with him?"
Huo Huai Sui opened and closed his mouth several times, finally managing to squeeze out a weak "I can pay it back."
Huo Huai'an: "If someone gives it to you and you accept it, you're indebted to them. Even if you want to return it, they might not be willing to accept it."
Huo Huai Sui's expression was rather unpleasant, and he remained silent for a long time.
"Putting material things aside, he's treated you fairly well. Even when he went abroad to study, he didn't forget to come back for your birthday. He hasn't been involved with any other women. At least in my opinion, he's passed the test. What about you?" Huo Huai'an asked. "What do you think? Do you not like him at all, and just want to play around with him?"
Huo Huai Sui pursed her lips, "There's nothing I don't like..."
Huo Huai'an: "That means you like it."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
Huo Huai'an: "So what are you doing?"
Huo Huai Sui remained silent for a long time, then couldn't help but ask with a pained expression, "Don't you think he and I are a bad match?"
After news of her relationship with Xie Qinglan spread, she heard some gossip.
Everyone said she was not good enough for Xie Qinglan.
