Qi An didn't even look at it, threw the hundred-yuan note away, then grabbed Liu's mother's wallet and tossed it to Fugui.
Fu Gui stuffed his wallet into his pocket, then, after thinking for a moment, picked up the hundred yuan that Qi An had thrown away and put it in his pocket as well.
Even a hundred dollars is still money.
What are you doing?
Liu's mother was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.
Instead of answering, Qi An asked, "You said someone from your family is coming. Who is coming?"
Liu's father said, "Chengcai is bringing his girlfriend today, so you'd better get out of here."
"Why should I go out when he's with his girlfriend?"
The two looked at each other, unable to answer.
Qi An said casually, "Everyone has a partner, and I brought mine back too, so why should I go out?"
Liu's father: "..."
Liu's mother: "..."
The two were taken aback. Liu Zhaodi had a boyfriend? How come they didn't know?
Then came anger. No wonder she didn't want to make money; it must have been her boyfriend who taught her that.
No way, Cheng Cai hasn't even gotten married and had kids yet. Liu Zhaodi, this cash cow, shouldn't be allowed to make money for other people.
Liu's mother screamed, "You have a boyfriend? Who is he? Where is he?"
Qi An pointed at Fu Gui: "Can't you see such a big person?"
Fu Gui coughed lightly and proudly showed off eight teeth.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu stared at Fugui with expressions of utter disbelief, as if struck by lightning.
She has fair skin, a beautiful face, is tall and has long legs; she looks good no matter how you look at her.
The problem is, it was a woman.
If it's someone who will succeed, they'll be ecstatic.
The two men felt dizzy and pointed at Qi An with trembling hands, about to start cursing, when the doorbell rang again.
It was too late to send them away now, so Liu's mother could only glare at Qi An and lower her voice to say:
"Keep your mouth shut for now. If you mess up your brother's plans, I'll skin you alive."
Qi An nodded obediently.
Should we peel off the skin?
I've noted it down.
The door opened, and Liu Chengcai walked in with his girlfriend.
Mr. and Mrs. Liu, their old faces beaming with pride, smiled broadly at the girl.
"Oh my, this must be Manman! She's so beautiful. Come in, have some dinner first. Auntie has prepared so many dishes, just waiting for you..."
When Liu's mother turned around, she couldn't finish her sentence.
Her resentful daughter and her daughter's girlfriend were sitting at the dining table, enjoying their meal.
Liu's parents cursed Liu Zhaodi in their hearts.
"It's alright, Auntie. Is this your older sister?" Manman said, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Liu Cheng glared at Qi An, but when he saw Fu Gui, his breath caught in his throat and his eyes glazed over.
Who is the girl next to Liu Zhaodi?
It's so beautiful.
Liu's mother said awkwardly, "Those two are Cheng Cai's cousins. I thought you young people would have common topics, so I specially invited them to have dinner with you."
Manman smiled politely and said, "Both of you are very beautiful."
Qi An had just finished eating a crab when he looked up at Manman.
She's a nice girl, but she's just unlucky to have met a family of oddballs.
In her past life, Manman learned about Liu Zhaodi's affair by chance on the eve of her wedding and resolutely broke off her engagement with Liu Chengcai.
When the Liu family's attempts to win her back failed, they became enraged and started spreading rumors about her everywhere.
They even went to the school where she worked to put up banners, almost driving her to depression and suicide.
In the end, Manman resigned from the teaching position she had worked so hard to obtain and moved her whole family away from the city.
She had nothing to do with Liu Zhaodi's tragedy, and Qi An had no intention of involving her.
Qi An beckoned to Manman: "Come here."
Manman obediently walked over, while the Liu family of three watched Qi An nervously, afraid that she would say something she shouldn't.
"Sister, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Qi An suddenly reached out and gently patted her on the forehead.
"Liu Zhaodi, what are you doing?"
Liu Cheng glared at Qi An and roared.
Liu's parents, their faces contorted with rage, lunged at Qi An, shouting, "Liu Zhaodi!"
Qi An casually picked up two cups and threw them out. Liu's parents screamed and covered their faces.
Liu Cheng looked at Qi An in disbelief.
Liu Zhaodi, who is usually filial and obedient, actually laid a hand on two old people. Has she gone mad?
"Liu Zhaodi, have you taken the wrong medicine? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget..."
Manman interrupted him, her voice trembling: "You're Liu Zhaodi? Liu Chengcai's older sister?"
Qi An nodded, looking at the girl with terrified eyes, and said, "Now you know what kind of den of wolves this is, so hurry up and run."
Manman turned back and looked at the Liu family of three with lingering fear.
These three faces had just appeared in her mind, along with some strange memories.
"What's wrong, Manman?" Liu Cheng asked, reaching out to take her hand.
Manman dodged away as if she were a plague, leaving Liu Cheng's hand awkwardly frozen in mid-air.
A flash of anger crossed his eyes as he looked at the slightly chubby Manman, then at Fugui, who was engrossed in gnawing on a chicken leg.
Her looks are so far off.
Manman took a deep breath. Although what had just happened was very mystical, for some reason, she believed in this older sister.
Having made up her mind, she bowed to Qi An and said, "Thank you, sister. I'm leaving now. Take care."
Qi An nodded: "Go ahead, run and walk. Be more discerning in the future, and don't just settle for anything because your family is pressuring you."
Manman nodded gratefully.
Turning to Liu Cheng, she said, "We're not a good match. Don't contact each other again."
Before Liu Cheng could say anything, his mother became anxious.
Ignoring her still-bleeding forehead, she grabbed Manman's arm and said urgently:
"Why? Why isn't it suitable? Did that brat Zhao Di say something to you? Don't believe her. Auntie has prepared a big red envelope and a gold necklace for you. We all like you so much, you..."
Manman shook her off: "No need. In a family that doesn't even treat its own daughter like a human being, what good can happen to me, someone else's daughter?"
Liu's mother was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried to pull her away.
Liu Cheng shouted, "Tell her to get out!"
He tore off the mask of honesty and naivety he had put on in front of Manman, revealing his sharp and mean true nature.
"You're a nearly thirty-year-old woman, ugly and fat, and you're still being pretentious and won't let me sleep with you. Do you know I feel like throwing up just looking at you? Someone like you, even if you took your clothes off, no man would want to sleep with you, you... ugh..."
Manman was trembling with anger. Just as tears were streaming down her face, she saw a chicken bone fly into Liu Chengcai's open mouth.
Qi An wiped his hands and said to Manman, "You actually believed what that idiot said? A blessed woman doesn't marry into an idiot's family. Your good fortune is yet to come."
Fu Gui also said, "Let's run, this place is too unlucky."
Manman stopped crying and smiled, nodded to the two of them, pushed open the door and ran away.
The living room was deathly silent. The three members of the Liu family stared at Qi An with eyes that looked like they wanted to devour him.
Liu's mother went straight to the kitchen to get a rolling pin, her shrill voice echoing in the living room.
"Liu Zhaodi, you've gone too far! I'm going to skin you alive today!"
Mr. Liu, his face contorted with rage, slammed the door shut and locked it. Then he picked up a broom, ready for a double whammy.
Liu Chengcai's attention was not on Liu Zhaodi, and he did not join Liu's parents.
He stared intently at Fugui, his eyes gleaming with lust.
