"Without ten billion, Gu Xiangzhou, you'll just have to live with a red face from now on," Qin Xiaoya said nonchalantly.
Ten billion is a lot, but Qin Xiaoya knew that Jiang Chen didn't care, and neither did she.
"Why bother? It's just a small matter. If it escalates, it won't be good. The Gu Family has some background, and if our Qin Family tears our relationship with them apart, the only outcome will be mutual destruction," Qin Qian expressed his concerns.
Qin Qian's personality was quite different from his daughter's; he was always indecisive.
"Dad, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it myself," Qin Xiaoya said, not wanting to explain further, and she stomped upstairs.
Qin Qian and Lin Cai'e exchanged glances filled with helplessness; they felt they couldn't intervene in their daughter's affairs.
"Sigh, ever since Qin Xiaoya met Mr. Jiang, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse," Lin Cai'e said worriedly.
"It's a blessing and not a curse; if it's a curse, there's no escaping it," Qin Qian replied with a frown. Although Jiang Chen was impressive and powerful, he had a reputation for being quick to violence, which was hard for someone like Qin Qian, who considered himself an "honest man," to accept.
"I used to hope that Qin Xiaoya would fall in love; now that she has, I can't feel happy about it at all," Lin Cai'e said softly, her tone filled with resignation and melancholy.
"Yes, this Mr. Jiang... I really don't know what kind of person he is. Just thinking about his appearance makes me feel a bit scared. How could our daughter possibly like him?" Qin Qian shook his head and sighed.
Qin Xiaoya paid no attention to her parents' discussions; she knew everything about Jiang Chen. Although he could kill without blinking an eye, he was definitely not an evil person.
The night passed without incident, and the next morning arrived.
Wang Shun Yuan and Huang Lin woke up at nine after sleeping in; they had spent the previous day hanging out with Jiang Chen and the others. Even though Jiang Chen left later on, they continued having fun until late at night and even went singing, so they were exhausted and needed the extra sleep.
Since they were at Fangshan for karaoke the night before and it got too late, everyone stayed over at Huang Lin's family home—a rural villa rebuilt a few years ago that could easily accommodate many guests.
After Wang Shun Yuan and Huang Lin got up and freshened up, they went to wake Liu Ying and the others. Liu Ying and her friends were still fast asleep; however, Gao Kang was already up early—he claimed it was a habit formed during his exam preparation days.
"Everyone come eat breakfast! I just bought soy milk, fried dough sticks, pan-fried dumplings, buns, and porridge is cooking in the pot," Huang Lin's father called out warmly.
Wang Shun Yuan was now quite the good son-in-law; Huang Lin's parents liked him very much and were all smiles. Sometimes money really is important; with financial support comes recognition.
Everyone gathered around the table for breakfast while chatting about yesterday's events.
"Boss, Gao Kang and I are planning to head back today," Liu Ying suddenly announced; they had been in Beijing for a few days already and it was time to return.
"Gao Kang has a girlfriend, so it's understandable for him to go back. But why are you going? You’re not going back to work this early, are you?" Wang Shun Yuan asked.
"I'm planning to go home for a day before heading to Shenzhen," Liu Ying replied.
"Why not stay a few more days? It's not every day we get to come to Beijing together as three friends from our dormitory after more than a year apart. This opportunity is rare; there are still many places to explore in Beijing!" Wang Shun Yuan urged.
"Next time! We only have five days off during the National Day holiday in October. If I go home today, I can only stay one night before I have to earn some money," Liu Ying laughed.
