Chapter 93: Give Me Five Years

Aunt, come here.

Seeing the young man step down from the Mercedes, Chen Yingying immediately waved him over and introduced him. "This is Wang Qi. He's the real deal—a true rich, handsome, and successful man, not some fake."

"Don't let his title fool you. Right now he's only a manager, but that's just his family testing and training him. His company is already public, and he makes several million in the blink of an eye!"

Chen Yingying spoke with such enthusiasm that she completely ignored the fact that Lin Shuyu had arrived with a man. It had to be said, being disregarded by someone really did not feel good at all, and Hong Yu's brow immediately furrowed.

Wang Qi was extremely polite. He promptly extended his hand. "Hello, beautiful. Yingying has always told me she has a gorgeous cousin, and I thought she was bragging."

"Now that I've met you, I can see she wasn't exaggerating. It was I who misunderstood."

Lin Shuyu considered it, then lightly shook his hand.

After all, once one has stepped into society, such courtesies are unavoidable.

Unexpectedly, when Wang Qi saw how reluctant she seemed, he was not annoyed in the least. Instead, he looked rather pleased.

He had seen plenty of girls who were after his money.

But a girl as beautiful and reserved as Lin Shuyu was exactly the kind he had long wanted to find for a wife.

Chen Yingying's introduction really was not bad.

Wang Qi nodded, then suddenly turned back to the Mercedes.

To their surprise, when he emerged again, he was carrying a bouquet of red roses.

No need to count—the bouquet was enormous, surely ninety-nine blooms.

Seeing himself as a gentleman, Wang Qi smiled and bent slightly as he offered the roses to Lin Shuyu.

Lin Shuyu had received many flowers before, but never so abruptly.

Her cheeks turning faintly red, she firmly refused. "Mr. Wang, I can't accept these. Please take them back."

Good, very good.

As a woman, she was looking at such a huge bouquet of red roses and still not moved.

She did not seem to be a gold digger.

Wang Qi was very satisfied with her reserve.

He smiled. "Miss Lin, there's really no need to turn down such a small token."

"These flowers may be lovely, but they are not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you. There is truly no need for you to mind."

"If you won't even accept this bouquet of roses, how am I supposed to give you more precious gifts in the future?"

What the hell!

What was this all about?

He was already giving flowers, and now he wanted to give expensive gifts too?

Was this guy trying to seduce my wife?

Hong Yu stared for a moment, then strode over. "Hey, is that how you give flowers? You look like a veteran player in the game of love—have you used this trick many times before?"

Wang Qi frowned. "Who are you? What I do is none of your business."

Chen Yingying had just been about to take out her phone and snap a picture for her social feed when a man dressed entirely in cheap online clothes suddenly rushed over. She snapped, "Get lost! I've seen people jealous of the rich plenty of times, but this is the first time I've seen someone jealous of flower-giving!"

Lin Shuyu sighed helplessly. "Yingying, he's your brother-in-law. Don't talk like that!"

"What—what? My brother-in-law?" Chen Yingying stood rooted in place like a stone statue. Looking Hong Yu over from every angle, she felt that this Taobao-looking poor guy in front of her had absolutely nothing in common with the brother-in-law she had imagined.

But soon, Chen Yingying recovered her senses.

"I remember now," Chen Yingying said.

"So this is the live-in son-in-law you took in before?"

"Why did you bring him here? Didn't Aunt say you two were divorced?"

Chen Yingying was clearly anxious. She had heard before that Lin Shuyu had taken in a live-in son-in-law, but her family rarely mentioned it. When they visited relatives each year, Lin Shuyu had never brought him along.

Who would have thought that a live-in son-in-law would really look every bit like a live-in son-in-law? She simply could not accept it.

Lin Shuyu hurriedly said, "Don't speak that way about your brother-in-law. You don't understand how good he is."

Chen Yingying looked speechless. "Sis, what's so good about him? Does he have some special skill or something?"

"But even if he does, it still can't hide that poor, threadbare aura of his."

"I really don't know how you put up with it, sis. Honestly, if I had to stay around him for even a little while, I'd feel uncomfortable all over."

Lin Shuyu said angrily, "Enough, stop talking. Grandfather must be getting anxious. Let's head back first."

Chen Yingying had no choice. She glanced at Wang Qi, still wanting to apologize.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi only smiled, as if he did not mind at all.

In fact, Chen Yingying could even sense the desire in Wang Qi's eyes, as though he had already made up his mind to win over Lin Shuyu.

"Sis, get in the car first." Chen Yingying and Wang Qi nodded as they ushered Lin Shuyu into the vehicle.

Since his wife was riding in that car, Hong Yu followed her in.

Unexpectedly, just as Hong Yu was about to get in, Chen Yingying suddenly tugged at him, forcing him to stumble back a few steps.

"You think you can ride in a BMW too?"

"I just sprayed perfume in here. Don't pollute the air in my car!" Then Chen Yingying shut the door and drove off with a stomp on the accelerator.

Lin Shuyu inside the car said anxiously, "Yingying, what's wrong with you? Your brother-in-law hasn't gotten in yet!"

Chen Yingying smiled. "Sis, honestly, isn't there still a Mercedes over there? We're sisters, we need to chat. Wouldn't it be awkward to let those two men sit together?"

Tch!

What was so great about a crappy BMW?

Hong Yu cursed under his breath, but to his surprise, Wang Qi suddenly tossed the bouquet of red roses into the nearby trash bin.

When he came back, he had also taken off his glasses, with a cigarette held between his lips.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. No car to ride in?"

"I never expected Yingying's cousin to end up with someone like you."

"No car is one thing. After all, you're here to visit relatives. But showing up in a whole cheap online outfit really is a bit much, isn't it?" Wang Qi sneered as he smoked.

Hong Yu said impatiently, "Quit posing. None of your damn business."

Wang Qi laughed. "Of course it's my business!"

"Because your wife is going to become my woman very soon."

"I advise you to be sensible and leave on your own. In my eyes, you're barely better than an ant."

After saying that, Wang Qi stubbed out his cigarette and was about to return to the Mercedes, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"Do you think Huai Province is extremely prosperous, something a small place like Feng Province can't compare to?"

"Let me introduce you to something. One hundred meters ahead of this stop, there's a billboard several dozen meters wide."

"It says Wang Family Real Estate, the leading name in Huai Province."

"It's mine. No need to envy it."

With a roar of the engine, Wang Qi stepped on the gas and drove off in his Mercedes amid the sound of laughter.

But Hong Yu did not look desolate as Wang Qi had imagined. On the contrary, his face was full of disdain.

"So this little bit of showmanship is enough to flaunt in front of me?"

"Heh. So you're in real estate, huh."

"Fine. Let's take our time. Give me five years, and I'll make sure that so-called Wang Family Real Estate has nowhere to do business!"

"Because all of Huai Province will belong to me, Hong Yu!"
