Shu Qingqing rolled her eyes: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you keep dawdling, no matter how much you offer, I won't be willing."
Fearing that Shu Qingqing might really change her mind, Shang Duojin quickly asked her how many interstellar coins she wanted.
"Who cares about your stinking money? The reward I want is three wishes. As for what those wishes are, I haven't decided yet, so you can owe me those for now."
Yan Qing glanced at the two of them and noticed that the atmosphere between them was a bit off. While Shang Duojin was still in a daze, she nudged him on the shoulder and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and sign an agreement with her, so that she doesn't think you're not sincere and won't help you."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh." Shang Duojin scratched his face awkwardly, feeling that his question to Shu Qingqing about how many interstellar coins he wanted was a bit strange.
They were clearly just trying to help him out of kindness, but his question made it seem like they were in a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship.
He deserves to die!
Shu Qingqing didn't feel embarrassed at all. After signing the agreement, she asked Shang Duojin what his plans were for the future.
"Yes, you reminded me. I haven't told you about that next thing yet. Do you know that Wan Shishi from the Wan family and I are betrothed as children?"
Yan Qing had heard about it from her family. After taking a sip of the fruit tea she had made herself, she nodded: "I know. What did she do to you? Why are you so angry that you insist on finding a fake fiancée to go against your family's wishes?"
Shang Duojin sent all the information he had previously compiled about Wan Shishi being a fake Wan Shishi to Yan Qing.
"See for yourself. Once you see it, you'll understand why I acted so quickly. If I hadn't taken the initiative to investigate, I don't know if I would have been tricked!"
Yan Qing clicked to receive the file and glanced at it for a while.
By the end, the expression on her face could only be described as astonishment.
"This is outrageous! She actually transformed herself to look like Wan Shishi and keeps pestering you. Little Jinjin, do you think she came from a poor family and wants to change her life by marrying you?"
This possibility was something that Qiao Mei and the others had not yet considered.
Her mention of it reminded them of how Wan Shishi had always clung to Shang Duojin and frequently mentioned wanting to marry him, which made them realize that what she said was very likely.
Shu Qingqing understood: "That seems to make sense. If this fake Wan Shishi stays in the Wan family, her identity will definitely be exposed one day. But if she marries Boss Shang and becomes his daughter-in-law, and then cultivates a good relationship with him, when the truth comes out, she'll lose her identity as Wan Shishi..."
Shang Duojin gritted his teeth and continued, "She can continue to live as my wife in a social class that doesn't belong to her! What a clever scheme!!"
Qiao Mei knew quite a lot about these kinds of things in modern times, but she never expected that even in a different world and era, the ugliness of human nature would still be so similar.
She suddenly felt a little glad that she and Shu Qingqing had insisted on helping Shang Duojin investigate the matter thoroughly, otherwise he would have been the only one to be hurt later.
After discussing the matter, Yan Qing thought for a moment and told Shang Duojin not to rush to tell his family about it, but to subtly remind them to investigate Wan Shishi.
"The power you have is completely different from the power your family has. They might even find out more inside information that you don't know. Only by letting them investigate themselves can they better understand the true face of the fake Wan Shishi."
Shang Duojin's mind is relatively pure, unlike Yan Qing's far-reaching thoughts.
He didn't think she would harm him, and quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll tell my parents and sisters about this when I get back. Thank you, Giant Qing!"
Yan Qing put down her fruit tea speechlessly: "What kind of relationship do we have? Do I need to thank you? Alright, is there anything else besides this? Let's finish it all at once."
"That's all, just this one."
Shang Duojin stood up, glanced at the gloomy sky outside, and seemed to hear the sound of rain. Unsure, he walked to the window and opened it to take a look.
Indeed, I saw that it had started raining outside, and it was getting heavier and heavier, so I immediately changed my mind about leaving right away.
"It seems to be raining heavily outside, Giant Qing, do you mind if we stay a little longer?"
Yan Qing had nothing to do in the afternoon and didn't have many friends, so usually no one would come to her house. Hearing this, she said nonchalantly, "Of course, do you need anything to play with or eat? I'll go and prepare it for you."
Qiao Mei discovered that the layout of Yan Qing's villa was almost identical to that of the Yan family's main residence, which she had visited before.
When Shang Duojin bluntly made demands of Yan Qing, she even dug out the photos that Yan Qing had previously shown to Shang Duojin in order to confirm them.
After comparing them and finding that there was indeed no difference, although I didn't quite understand, I still expressed my respect, since everyone has different habits.
The rain outside started suddenly and was very heavy.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed unlikely that things would stop anytime soon, so Qiao Mei took this opportunity to discuss their engagement date with Ao Cang again.
"I made the decision myself before, but after thinking about it, I think it's better for the two of us to discuss it. Do you have any dates you'd like to set? I'll see if they're suitable."
Ao Cang looked at the calendar Qiao Mei had opened, and at the most recent date. He actually wanted to tell her that the sooner the better, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he finally replied, "It's up to you. As long as it's your choice, I think it's fine."
Qiao Mei felt that such a date shouldn't be taken too casually, and noticing Ao Cang's hesitation, she asked him, "Have you already decided on a date, but feel it's not appropriate to tell me?"
If he really thought that just looking at her was enough, he obviously wouldn't have thought about it for a while like he did just now.
Ao Cang is not good at pretending, but he has become good at lying.
But when he met Qiao Mei's inquisitive and curious red eyes, he opened his mouth, but ultimately decided to be honest.
He was a little embarrassed, so he deliberately lowered his head a bit, his eyelashes casting a shadow like a small fan, and said in a very soft voice, "I've thought it through, but that date is really not suitable."
Getting engaged requires systematic preparation; starting too suddenly lacks a sense of ceremony.
It wouldn't give Qiao Mei a good experience either.
Seeing his evasive behavior, Qiao Mei turned her gaze back to the calendar and suddenly thought of a rather absurd possibility.
Her expression was a little complicated as she asked him, "You wouldn't be thinking of getting engaged to me tomorrow, would you?"
Ao Cang lowered his head even further, and the pinkness on his earlobes was so obvious that it looked like they were about to bleed.
Qiao Mei: "........."
That's really true.
She sighed, cupped his face in her hands, and forced him to lift his head.
"Then let's finalize this as quickly as possible, okay?"
