Wei Xiaoqing sold the two unfinished buildings to Liang Zixuan for only 200 million yuan, and the 200 million she had invested in the new building did not seem to be getting much better now. Someone had spread the news that a factory would be built there within a year, which in turn would pollute the environment.
When the news got out, no one was willing to invest in her project, not even ordinary people.
Wei Xiaoqing was restless like an ant on a hot pan. Therefore, she teamed up with Dong Biming to frame Qin Yu. After the matter was settled, Dong Biming promised to invest 500 million to help her.
And in the end, the final result was that Dong Biming went insane from the stimulation.
She was taken to the hospital, and the doctor found that she was actually suffering from a mental disorder. So, how can a promise made by a madwoman be counted?
To make the matter worse, Qin Yu was rescued at the scene by Liang Jiahao, thus ruining their plans.
Wei Xiaoqing was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
"Do not mention this in front of me!" Wei Xiaoqing took a deep breath and resisted the urge to crawl through the phone and punch Zeng Shuang. She asked in a restrained voice, "You called me not to make fun of me, right?"
"Of course not." A trace of coldness flashed in Zeng Shuang's eyes. "I want to work with you. We will stir up Liang Jiahao and Qin Yu's relationship together. Think about how you will give me the opportunity to be alone with Liang Jiahao. Once I become your sister-in-law, all you have to do is tell me what kind of loan you want. I can give it to you with a flick of my wrist."
These words were really full of confidence.
As if Zeng Shuang would become the wife of the current CEO of China Securities Bank!
Wei Xiaoqing wondered where Zeng Shuang got her confidence from?
She was so confident that Liang Jiahao would fall in love with her and listened to her words.
However, Wei Xiaoqing was willing to help to disrupt Liang Jiahao and Qin Yu's relationship.
Just like what Zeng Shuang had said earlier. Why should Liang Zixuan and Liang Jiahao live happy life? One wealthy and influential Han Family was already enough. If the Qin Family were added, Liang Zixuan and Liang Jiahao would go to outer space!
Besides, that bastard Liang Jiahao did not even recognize her as his little sister.
Although Wei Xiaoqing was willing to help, she still had to maintain her self-esteem. It was Zeng Shuang who begged for her help, not her.
Wei Xiaoqing sneered, "Didn't you come to beg me for your own sake? Zeng Shuang, if you want to beg someone, then you must have the attitude of begging. The way you behaved earlier was really unsatisfactory."
"I said I was joking!" Zeng Shuang's nails lightly scratched the windowsill. She tried to control her anger. "We are on the same side now, so there's no point in arguing."
"All right. Zeng Shuang, I'm just reminding you. If you want to work with me, you have to listen to me. Don't be stupid and destroy the bridge when the job is finished. I, Wei Xiaoqing, am not stupid!"

Mao Ping's case had sparked a storm in entertainment circles. Various media reported the development of the matter on a daily basis.
The limelight was too strong, especially for Qin Yu. She had announced that she would take a break from new projects and would only focus on filming the few projects she had previously agreed to.
Qin Yu also decided to take a longer break from school. She was already in her third years, so it did not matter if she went there or not. She was afraid of being surrounded by the reporters and students because of this.
"Qin Yu, can you sit properly?"
Lin Xiu kicked Qin Yu's legs that were lying on the tea table. She placed a plate of fruit on the tea table and gracefully sat down next to her daughter.
Qin Yu hugged her legs and groaned in pain. After a while, she pouted and glared at Lin Xiu. "Mom, are you really my birth mother? Is there any mother who is so cruel towards her daughter like you?"
"It's because I am your mother, I did that." Lin Xiu took a fork and put a piece of dragon fruit in her mouth. After chewing and swallowing it, she said, "I wonder if there is a man who wants to marry you in the future. Look at the way you are sitting, not proper at all."
Lin Xiu was born in the Lin Family and her family majored in the jewelry business. Ever since she was young, she had been trained by her mother to be a graceful woman. She was not supposed to smile broadly until she showed her teeth, or made any noise while eating.
When she married into the Qin Family, the business between the Lin and the Qin Family became bigger and bigger. And her husband was now the leader of the domestic food industry.
And there was one thing that Lin Xiu could not understand. How could her mother manage to train her to be a dignified and graceful lady, while she could not train Qin Yu to be such?
Qin Yu had been disobedient since she was young. When she was asked to sit down like a proper lady, it was as if the heavens had turned against her.
Qin Shaoqiang told her not to worry about Qin Yu. The more Lin Xiu forced Qin Yu to behave like that, the more Qin Yu would rebel. Lin Xiu felt that this made sense, so she stopped bothering Qin Yu.
Fortunately, Qin Yu liked to sing and wanted to act. She wanted to enter the entertainment circle and become the goddess of all men, so she began to move in the direction Lin Xiu really wanted her to go.
Lin Xiu thought this was good.
At least when Qin Yu was outside, she had done what Lin Xiu wanted.
Qin Yu chuckled and sat down on the couch with her legs crossed. She snorted proudly, "Who said your daughter doesn't have a man? Mrs. Lin, let me officially inform you that your daughter has been chased by many men from the streets. If I want a man, I just need a minute."
"Pssh!" Lin Xiu laughed mockingly. "Tell me, what does he look like? Is he cute like a pumpkin? Is he really fit to become my son-in-law? Let me tell you, if he wants to become the Qin Family's son-in-law, he must be so outstanding that I will like him from the first time I meet him, no matter what he looks like or what family he comes from. Otherwise, this man you are talking about is not a man in my eyes."
Lin Xiu glanced at Qin Yu from the corner of her eyes and smiled elegantly. "He is only suitable as a pet."
Back then, she and Qin Shaoqiang were not in a business marriage, but a love marriage.
Qin Shaoqiang had a scholarly aura on him, and his every gesture was polite and refined. The main point was that he was handsome. Even in his old age, he was still handsome.
Lin Xiu had always wanted to find a handsome husband with a high IQ for Qin Yu so that the next generation would stand out.
Just like her son, Qin Shanyuan.
Lin Xiu lightly patted Qin Yu's crossed legs. She smiled. "Qin Yu, if you cannot find a man who can satisfy mom's criteria, then don't get married for the rest of your life. Mom will take care of you."
Qin Yu looked at Lin Xiu's proud face and pouted. "Mom, I'm the one looking for a husband, not you. Why should I find someone you are satisfied with?"
Lin Xiu looked at Qin Yu indifferently. She put another piece of dragon fruit in her mouth without bothering to answer Qin Yu's question.
Talking to Lin Xiu was really tiring because she never spoke while eating. Lin Xiu really needed to show her beautiful white teeth while she talked, and her mother's upbringing forbade her to do so.
Anyone with the slightest bit of impatience would die from anxiety if they talked to her!
After waiting for Lin Xiu to finish eating the fruit, Qin Yu saw that Lin Xiu still wanted to eat again, so she hurriedly grabbed the fork in her hand.
"Mom, can you stop eating? I seriously want to talk to you about this. Answer me, why do I have to find someone you are satisfied with?"
Lin Xiu gracefully placed both her hands in front of her and turned to Qin Yu with a slight smile. "Because you were born of me."
Qin Yu: "...."
Lin Xiu was crazy.
Was there any logical explanation for this?
And here Qin Yu thought that only Xia Jingfei's mother was abnormal. She never thought that her own mother was even more abnormal!
Qin Yu took a few deep breaths and decided to persuade Lin Xiu in a gentler way. "Mom, let me tell you that there's only one man like dad in this world.. It's not easy to find a second one. You won't let your daughter live a lonely life because of this, will you?"
