After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Qin Ce had no expression at first, but after hearing her words, his eyes became a little subtle.

He stared at her with a half-smile, as if he was watching a performance she directed and performed.

The look in his eyes made Qiao Xing feel a little embarrassed. She also felt that she had spoken too loudly, and she quickly changed her words, "Of course, if you think it's too much, 20 is fine, but it can't be less than 20."

20 yuan plus Lin Yu's 20 yuan, and she could buy the house with another [-] yuan loan.

"30 is not outrageous, but what about you? What's your dowry?" Qin Ce leaned back on the sofa and stared at her with an unpredictable expression.

"You can live in this house, or add your name to it. Anyway, it's close to Grandpa Qin's house, and we can take good care of him."

Qin Ce didn't speak in a hurry, he just stared at her, and time passed between the two of them.

Qiao Xing had never been on a blind date before, but he had never been so nervous. This didn't look like a blind date, it was almost like a negotiation.

But only by buying this house can they continue to live here, so his 20 yuan is crucial.

When the time comes to buy a house and put his name on it, he won't be at a loss if he pays 20.

Not knowing, Qin Ce stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at her condescendingly, "Then it's decided. I can pay 30. As for the name, there is no need to add it."

Qiao Xing waved his hands repeatedly, "No need for 30, just give me 20. I know it will not be easy for you."

Qin Ce glanced sideways at her and did not bargain with her, "When will I get the certificate?"

Qiao Xing was stunned, "Ah? Are you anxious?"

"It's going to end sooner or later anyway, so why not take advantage of my free time these two days and get the certificate as soon as possible."

Qiao Xing was silent for a moment. He was so cheerful and he didn't feel annoyed. "Okay, we'll get the certificate right after you transfer the money."

Qin Ce said no more. He nodded, indicating that the matter was settled, and left Qiao Xing's house.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mr. Qin standing at the door, holding the door open and eavesdropping. The door opened unexpectedly, and the old man almost fell down.

It was Qin Ce who had quick eyesight and quickly held his shoulders to prevent the old man from falling.

"What are you doing here?"

The old man was a little embarrassed. He coughed and asked, "How did the conversation go?"

Qin Ce raised his lips with unclear meaning, "Is this the girl you like?"

"Of course, what's wrong?" The old man frowned, unable to understand what he meant.

Qin Ce didn't explain too much. He supported the old man and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

This Qiao Xing was very thoughtful, and she was completely different from the simple kindness the old man said. While she coaxed the old man around, she asked him for 30, and didn't let him tell the old man.

The means are indeed clever.

Qin Ce didn't tell the old man about the betrothal gift. He only told him that the deal was done. Seeing the old man's smile, Qin Ce felt that it didn't matter if he spent 20 to make the old man happy.

But he told the master: "Don't make a big deal about your marriage. I don't want to cause too much trouble."

Halfway through his laughter, the old man's face fell again. He was not happy anymore, "Why? When you get married, you can't hold a big banquet and let relatives and friends come to drink the wedding banquet?"

After Qin Ce entered the house, he closed the door and helped the old man sit down on the sofa. He explained patiently, "The banquet can be held at any time. The key to getting married is to get the certificate. Besides, you have to give me some time to adapt to her. Get to know her.

If we don't get along and get divorced later, and we hold a banquet with such a big fanfare, it will be difficult for her to get married again in the future, what do you think? "

"You stinky boy!" The old man punched him angrily. Although he used a lot of force, the blow to Qin Ce was not painful or itchy. "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already thinking about divorce!"

Qin Ce said: "Anything can happen. Just because you like her doesn't mean that everyone has to like her. And I'm just saying that in case, not absolutely. Your thinking is too complicated."

After hearing what he said so clearly, the old man started to think.

"Okay then, you should cultivate your relationship first, and then hold a banquet after you get used to her."

……

After Qin Ce left, Qiao Xing drank the glass of water he hadn't drank in one gulp. She didn't know if her decision was right, but Qin Ce looked pretty good.

Unlike Lin Yu, who is a smooth talker, he is quite down-to-earth. If he can get 20 yuan, this house can be saved.

Before this, she didn't dare to think about it at all. She always felt that marriage was sacred and should not be linked to money.

Now she realizes that her thoughts were too simple. This is a society that values ​​money. Even lovers can plot against each other. There is no such thing as pure love.

Qiao Xing didn't fall asleep all night. She tossed and turned in bed until the outside began to turn white.

She sighed and climbed out of bed as if resigned to her fate. Today was Monday and she had to go to work.

Qiao Xing came out after washing up. The phone on the table rang. It was a message from Qin Ce, asking her for her bank card number.

Qiao Xing didn't hesitate and sent the card number directly.

When she got on the bus, a transfer text message was sent to her phone. Qiao Xing looked at the string of zeros and finally realized that she seemed to have made some terrible decision.

Qin Ce sent her a transfer voucher on WeChat and a sentence: At 02:30 in the afternoon, bring your household registration book and see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The concise and concise words directly determined the future of the two of them.

Qiao Xing's fingers twitched slightly. She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and typed a reply: OK.

After getting the money, Qiao Xing immediately called her uncle, but no one answered the phone. She was probably at work, so she had to give up.

In Qiao Xing's job, apart from being busy at the beginning and end of the month, the rest of the time is quite free, so when she has nothing to do, she will secretly do some part-time work online and write some short scripts and copywriting for others.

On a good month, she could earn five or six thousand, or even one or two thousand, which is how she saved her one hundred thousand.

The script she received last week has been written, and she sent the manuscript after the morning meeting.

When she was about to get off work, she received a call from the front desk saying that Lin Yu was here to see her.

Lin Yu came to pick her up from get off work every day, so he naturally knew her company. Qiao Xing didn't really want to go to see him, but she was afraid that he would cause trouble in the company, so she went anyway.

She came to the front desk of the company, where Lin Yu was waiting on the sofa in the lobby, holding a bouquet of roses.

Seeing Qiao Xing come out, he immediately came over with roses in his hands and said, "Xing Xing."

"Let's go out and talk." Qiao Xing pulled him to the corridor outside the company, looked at him indifferently, and did not pick up the rose from him, "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed holding the flowers. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he took Qiao Xing's hand and whispered: "Are you still angry? Let's have a good chat."

"What are you talking about?"

"I discussed it with my parents last night, and they compromised. They put my name on the house, so you should feel relieved, right?"
