Chapter 1050 – Edging The Scam Onward

And this sort of scam method was done slowly and quietly- Chentian didn’t even know he had taken the bait, he had no defenses ready! If he didn’t say yes to Xiaoxiao’s request now, then all those things he said earlier would instantly collapse, ruining the image that had been built up and pushing him down!

Chentian was the type of person who liked to be praised- Jingyi knew clearly what he was. In blunter terms, he was someone who liked to put on an act and try to look like he was tough shit! Girls wouldn’t look elegant using that word, but just thinking about it was fine.

Xiaoxiao kept helping Chentian achieve that purpose, creating an image that Chentian was some hotshot business typhoon, not even putting five million in his eyes since he got way more than that every day! Jingyi knew why Chentian would go to such lengths to look cool, it was so that she’d admire him!

But the idea failed miserably- because from the start Jingyi knew what type of person he was, and he was a proud brat with no brian! She liked more intelligent man, although, that man would need to have ability to back himself up too.

From what she could see, Lin Yi passed the first requirement- but he didn’t have ability. She would need to continue observing.

From her view, Lin Yi was just a backup boyfriend that she wa observing, and so she did’t care at all what his relationship with Xiaoxiao was. She hadn’t even made her mind up yet, so there was no need to compete.

Even if she had made up her mind, she wasn’t confident that Lin Yi would be able to pass by her household’s approval. In a situation like this, there would be nothing she could do. As far as she was concerned, from the first day she left her house, there were only two paths for her love life. One, she found a man stronger and better than Chentian, and make the people from those houses shut up!

The other would be finding a man she liked, and hiding with him in secret. At the very least, they wouldn’t be able to make their information public! She wouldn’t mind that, but her house would probably do something against the man’s favor!

She’d be causing him trouble!

In order to prevent that from happening, Jingyi would give up all her status in the event that she chose the second path, hiding her relationship with the man. On the surface at least, she needed to give him a complete home, staying below the sights of House Sun!

As for running away with him… It was something she never considered, because it wasn’t practical! House Sun’s eyes and ears were everywhere, and she wouldn’t be able to run forever. It’d be big trouble the day she got caught!

Sometimes Jingyi would fall into sadness regarding her situation. Her parents were dead, and her position in House Sun wasn’t a pleasant one- people didn’t really love her there. If it weren’t for the elder of House Sun still living, and for the fact that he spoiled her a little, those uncles and aunts of hers would have pushed her to a corner already!

Doing business in Songshan would not have been possible without Elder Sun’s approval. She’d be marrying Chentian already, not being pursued by him!

So, Jingyi had a natural hate towards Chentian, let alone any feelings of romance. She was in fact very pleased right now that Xiaoxiao was scamming the hell out of him, and she hoped that Xiaoxiao would do that every day so that he’d run from Songshan to avoid her!

Chentian was currently blushing, unsure of how he should answer. Yes, he wanted pride, but he still knew that money was something he’d want!

He only brought ten million as funds for hitting on girls this time around, and was thinking of using this five million that came out of nowhere to put on airs. He thought that it would let him act cool for multiple times, but it seemed that it would only help him act cool this one time only!

If he continued this then that ten million wouldn’t last long!

But he’d already spoken the words- if he were to go back on them now he would ruin his image. What worried him was that, if he were make Xiaoxioa angry, she might not help him act cool anymore, and that’d ruin his heroic image, he wouldn’t be able to stand out!

With that thought, he had no choice but to cut off his precious newfound wealth. Gritting his teeth, he put on a smile and turned to Xiaoxiao. “Sure thing, sure thing! It’s just five million, isn’t it? Give me your card number, I’ll transfer it over right now!”

“Haha, I knew it, you’re the best, Chentian Bro, you’re so generous! Anyone who marries you would be so happy, they’d be happy to death!” Xiaoxiao praised happily.

The praise was ironic, however- happy to ‘death’? Indeed, anyone who married Chentian would really be be happy to death! The guy just mailed out five million, just like that! Who knew how much of his wealth would disappear for stupid reasons as time passed? Who would dare marry a man like this?

Jingyi also heard the irony in her praise, and found it funny. Feng Xiaoxiao… This girl sure was a troublemaker, pretending to be cute and nice even after she got her way. The funny thing was, Chentian was such an idiot, he still hadn’t realised the irony in her words! He still had that dumb smile, “Haha, don’t fall for me now, I already have someone I like!”

Chentan was quite happy with Xiaoxiao’s praise as he made the transfer with a smile on his lips.

Jingyi gave one look at Lin Yi, seeing that natural look on his face. It seemed like he’d already gotten used to seeing this, and she couldn’t help but frown in secret as her curiousity towards him rose.

Five million- it wasn’t much to House Sun, of course, but it was a huge amount to the Sun Jingyi now! Her trading company currently didn’t have five million’s profits a year, and yet Lin YI’s housewife just scams five million over, just like that- yet Lin Yi didn’t seem to care?

Was he pretending to be composed, or did he not care about this amount of money at all?

Xiaoxiao seems to be from a well off family, but it wasn’t one of those obscenely rich ones. Otherwise, she wouldn’t care for this five million of Chentian’s.

But Lin Yi didn’t care at all- the two sure were a weird couple.

Jingyi drove into Starlight Bright Restaraunt and parked her car in the parking lot.

It was before noon, and there weren’t a lot of people. A lot of the cars belonged to the residents here, so the four got off and a staff member came to greet them, bringing them into the hall.
