Qin Yi naturally knew there were Gu worms in the little golden gourd, but he didn’t reach out.
"I’m soone who loves helping others, but..."
Lan Jiaojiao sneered, "Don’t worry, a million if you find clues."
Qin Yi’s eyes lit up, and he cheerfully put away the little golden gourd, saying, "I’m not doing it for money, the key is I like making friends."
"So you an you’re willing to help for free?"
"Uh... this coffee is really good!"
Lan Jiaojiao was speechless, "Why do you love money so much?"
"Nonsense, you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, with endless money. Look at , crippled and a live-in son-in-law, afraid of being poor!"
"I really can’t understand why soone like you would be content being a live-in son-in-law?"
"One word: poverty explains it all."
Lan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, "You’ve earned tens of millions from alone, enough for you to live a luxurious life forever."
"Not enough, I have to earn a lot of money, at least as rich as the Lan Family, ideally with a money vault."
"Are you dumb? Who keeps money at ho?"
Qin Yi laughed, "Building a money vault full of cash, wouldn’t it be satisfying to look at?"
"That’s simple; I can et your wish."
"Hmm?" Qin Yi looked at Lan Jiaojiao in surprise.
"Just find a basent and stuff it full of money; it’s not hard. But all that money will have the Jade Emperor drawn on it, and each bill will guarantee not less than a billion."
Qin Yi’s smile froze; was this woman teasing him?
"Sure, I’ll burn it for you then."
Lan Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in anger, glaring at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi smiled slightly and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going. I’ll call you if I find any clues."
"I have to leave too, let’s go together!"
Lan Jiaojiao proactively pushed Qin Yi’s wheelchair and walked towards the outside.
Bang!
As they passed by a cozy corner, a coffee cup fell to the ground, shattering and splattering coffee around.
An energy instinctively surged from Qin Yi’s body, deflecting the debris.
But Lan Jiaojiao was unlucky, her white pant legs covered in brown coffee stains.
Qin Yi frowned, turned to look inside the cozy corner, and wanted to run when he saw who it was. Wasn’t this woman supposed to be ho? Why is she here? Following him? There was no way, he was cautious and made sure no one was tailing him earlier.
Lin Hongzhuang hadn’t noticed Qin Yi yet, her pretty face filled with anger as she pointed at the well-dressed man across from her and shouted, "I tell you, don’t even think about it, dreaming if you want to let that scumbag go."
Qin Yi was ready to slip away while Lin Hongzhuang hadn’t spotted him, but Lan Jiaojiao coldly asked, "Who did this?"
It’s over, Qin Yi thought bitterly.
Lin Hongzhuang and the man looked over simultaneously at the sound.
Lan Jiaojiao favored wearing white, always dressed in it during their etings, the eldest daughter of the Lan Family, with an aura that couldn’t be ignored.
"Qin Yi?" Lin Hongzhuang exclaid in surprise.
Even with Lan Jiaojiao’s mighty aura, she couldn’t overshadow Qin Yi’s presence.
Qin Yi couldn’t help but feel a headache; why wasn’t this woman staying ho quietly, and instead coming here to act out?
"Why are you here?" Qin Yi asked awkwardly.
"I should be asking why you’re here?" Lin Hongzhuang eyed Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao suspiciously.
"You two know each other?" Lan Jiaojiao looked at Qin Yi in surprise.
Qin Yi whispered, "She’s my wife’s best friend, don’t accidentally slip up."
Lan Jiaojiao nodded slightly, stepped forward, and coldly asked, "Who dropped the coffee cup?"
"She did."
"He did."
Lan Jiaojiao had a powerful aura that made Lin Hongzhuang and the man instinctively pass the bla.
But even a fool could tell that Lin Hongzhuang dropped the coffee cup; the man’s cup was still intact.
"Miss Lan, just drop it, she’s my friend." Qin Yi said, waving Lin Hongzhuang off, "You continue with your date, we won’t disturb you."
"Date your ass! Stop right there, are you blind? This guy looks like an old Shar Pei; how could I be interested in him?" Lin Hongzhuang furiously said.
"Miss Lin, watch your words, defaming a lawyer can lead to a lawsuit for slander." The man angrily adjusted his glasses.
"Lawyer?" Qin Yi curiously asked, "Why do you need a lawyer?"
" need him? This old Shar Pei called . He was sent by the Fu Family, trying to get to let Fu Bomming the scumbag go. I refused, and he dared to threaten , saying he’ll ruin my family business. Do I look scared?"
"What’s going on here?" Lan Jiaojiao curiously asked Qin Yi, won are naturally gossip lovers, and Lan Jiaojiao was no exception.
Qin Yi quietly explained the situation to Lan Jiaojiao.
"Miss Lan, she just got agitated, don’t bla her, I apologize on her behalf."
Lan Jiaojiao frowned, "There are actually such scumbags in the world, and unscrupulous lawyers earning immoral money too?"
"Miss Lin, you have to be responsible for your words. When did I threaten you, please provide evidence." The lawyer said disdainfully.
"Evidence, huh? You think I’m stupid?" Lin Hongzhuang proudly took out her phone, "I’ve already recorded your words. Threatening a victim, you’re in for it, the scumbag will rot in prison."
The lawyer’s face changed sharply; he reached to grab Lin Hongzhuang’s phone but she nimbly dodged.
"Miss Lin, opposing the Fu Family will lead to nothing good for you, be sensible." The lawyer threatened.
"Everyone shut up, I just want to know who dropped the coffee cup?" Lan Jiaojiao frowned and coldly asked.
"He did, it was him." Lin Hongzhuang quickly pointed at the lawyer.
The lawyer was about to retort, but Lan Jiaojiao stepped forward, kicked him in the stomach, punched his face, and finally grabbed his sparse hair, pressing his face against the table in a close encounter.
"Oh..." The lawyer collapsed under the table, clutching his face, his nose shattered, and his front teeth knocked out, emitting a pig-like scream that made the other patrons shudder.
Lan Jiaojiao picked up the coffee on the table and directly poured it over the lawyer’s head, casually tossed the cup onto the table, and wiped her hands with a few tissues.
"I hate it when people dirty my clothes."
"Rember, I’m Lan Jiaojiao from the Lan Family, sue if you dare!"
She nodded at Qin Yi and walked straight out.
Wow... Qin Yi was stunned, not knowing what to say, cursing under his breath with a "damn" in his mind.
He knew Lan Jiaojiao practiced martial arts from a young age, but he never expected her to be so cool, clean and efficient just now, well done.
Lin Hongzhuang was full of admiration, her eyes sparkling like stars, she had found her idol.
