Translator: 549690339
What’s the point of love when in the end, it all comes down to the practicalities? It is the marriage contract that safeguards you, your family, and your children’s interests, and having enough money is the most practical thing.
Everyone claims to put true love first. But believe it or not, ninety percent of women in this world would abandon their other half immediately if a man was willing to give them a hundred thousand a month.
In the past, she was naive, to still believe in love and to feel heartbroken over a man’s betrayal. Now, as long as she has a stable life, a steady job, a healthy mother, and enough money, she is indifferent to everything else.
Qin Zhigu felt a sting of shock, Qin Zhiyou who heard it initially felt delighted, then puzzled, now, he was filled with deep despair.
What Lu Weixi has revealed clearly shows she has been badly hurt before. Now, she no longer believes in love or marriage. To her, marriage guarantees a steady monthly provision for her mother’s medical expenses, and it is a cornerstone to maintain a basic lifestyle. They can fulfill physiological needs and shared interests through marriage, mutually supporting each other.
But there is no love required, not the slightest bit.
As Qin Zhigu and Qin Zhiyou wallowed in their shock, Qin Zhimei blinked then chuckled, “Well, I never thought my sister-in-law would be so progress-minded. She’s right; if a man’s heart is not attainable, his marriage certificate is not a bad deal. Even though the man on the certificate might not be the one you want.”
“Whether I want him or not has nothing to do with you. But you still owe me some money.” Lu Weixi had never considered Qin Zhimei as anything significant, but since she had the audacity to provoke her, so she pounced, “The contract for the last refurbishment was signed by you, pay up.”
Qin Zhimei’s face turned red immediately: “What contract, what money, I don’t know anything about it. Plus, I don’t have a house to refurbish, if anything you have to find the homeowners.”
“Oh, is that so? The owner of the house happens to be here,” clarified Lu Weixi and turned towards Yu Sihua,” You remember the previous contract, right? It’s for decorating your marital home. You and Qin Zhimei came to me and made a five-million-dollar contract. If it’s not honored, I will have to charge a penalty of thirty percent of the design fee. Although you’re the homeowner, you had signed the agent contract, which makes both of you accountable. If you don’t pay me, I’ll have to ask your relatives for the money. With everyone watching as witnesses, if you’re still not willing to fulfill the contract, we can settle this in court.”
Upon hearing this, both Yu Sihua and Qin Zhimei were flabbergasted. Huang Qichu and Yu Sixing were also curious and looking over in their direction.
As the one who had taken the initiative to sign the document, how can Qin Zhimei have the nerve to ask Yu Sihua for money. Plus, she was trying to stay in Yu Sihua’s good graces, hoping she would speak well of her in front of Yu Sixing. She gritted her teeth and said, “I owe you one hundred fifty thousand, right? Here it is!”
She quickly bowed her head and transferred the funds via her cell phone, checking the requirements she added: “Withdrawals are inconvenient at the moment, the full payment will be transferred after twelve.”
Lu Weixi nodded right away: “Oh, okay, I’ll check again at twelve. If it’s not enough, I’ll have to find you again.”
The meal had lasted long enough, once everyone headed back to their rooms, the moment the door closed, Qin Zhiyou immediately swept her into his arms.
