“Um…”
The two of them were stunned for a moment. Xiao Bing was still holding Lin Yi’s arm. The moment she saw Song Jiayu, she quickly let go as if she had been electrocuted.
Lin Yi slapped his forehead. He had been so focused on business that he had forgotten she was coming.
This was bad.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m your brother’s friend. It’s not the kind of relationship you think it is,” Xiao Bing hurriedly explained.
Song Jiayu looked at Lin Yi sneakily.
“Brother-in-law, do you think I would believe you?”
“I’ll give you 100 million.”
“I can tell at a glance that the two of you are just ordinary friends. You won’t have that kind of messy relationship,” Song Jiayu said with a smile as she stepped forward.
Under the temptation of money, she immediately betrayed Ji Qingyan.
Although Song Jiayu was also from Yuhang, she did not know Xiao Bing.
She was just an ordinary young entrepreneur. She was on a completely different level from Xiao Bing, a rich second-generation heir. Naturally, she did not have the chance to get to know her.
“Let me introduce you. This is my sister-in-law, Song Jiayu.”
“This is my friend Xiao Bing.”
“Hello, Sister Bing.”
“Hello, hello.”
The two of them reached out their hands at the same time. Xiao Bing said guiltily,
“Your brother-in-law wants to invest in you. Are you starting a business? 1 don’t have much money, but it’s fate that we met today. I’ll invest 50 million yuan in you.”
Song Jiayu’s eyes widened. 150 million yuan right off the bat. Did she really think that she was that easy to bribe?
“Come, come, come. We’re all on the same side. Don’t be so polite.”
Song Jiayu grabbed Xiao Bing’s hand and held Lin Yi’s arm again.
“Let’s find a place to eat and chat. This is not a place to talk.”
“Let’s go. I’m a little hungry too.”
After discussing their next course of action, the three of them got into their respective cars and drove toward the restaurant that Xiao Bing had shared with them.
The three of them had just driven away when a Curinan parked behind them slowly rolled down its window.
A bronze-skinned man reached out and flicked the ash from his cigarette.
Looking in the direction Xiao Bing had left, his expression was as ugly as ice.
The man named Qian Yi was from Longding Security Company.
The Longding Club has been established for over forty years, founded by Qian Yi’s grandfather, Qian Xiangdong.
However, due to Qian Yi’s father’s lack of talent, the security company was handed over to his uncle, Qian Liangjun.
As a teaching assistant, he had been organizing other people’s training in the company.
He had known Xiao Bing for a long time and had developed a good impression of her.
However, being rejected so many times made him feel uncomfortable.
“Brother Yi, you were right. She didn’t go home to focus on her business. Instead, she came over to have a tryst with another man.”
The person who spoke was a fatty sitting in the passenger seat. His name was Li Ming.
His figure was much inferior to Qian Yi’s, and his level was only E-class. He could be considered the latter’s follower.
“When she took leave, her attitude was very firm. She said that she had to come out today. This was not her usual style. Even if something really happened at home, she would not show that attitude nor expression.”
Qian Yi said coldly.
“Then what should we do now? She has already left with someone else. Are we still going to follow her?”
“That won’t be necessary. 1 put a tracker in her car and know her route. I was following her now to see who exactly she was coming out to meet. Now that 1 know this, we can go back.”
“Are we going back just like that? That gigolo doesn’t look like a good person. If he succeeds, won’t you suffer?”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I won’t give him a chance,” Qian Yi said with narrowed eyes.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them drove to a Sichuan restaurant that was quite stylish.
They ordered six signature dishes and prepared to fill their stomachs.
Ring ring ring!
Just as the dishes were served, Song Jiayu’s phone rang.
She waved it in front of Lin Yi. It was a call from Ji Qingyan.
“Another 20 million.”
“Why do you keep mentioning money? You make me look like a money-grubber.”
Muttering to herself, Song Jiayu picked up the phone.
“Sis, I’ve picked up my brother-in-law. We’re having dinner at a restaurant.”
“Originally, I wanted to invite a few friends to accompany us, but my brother-in-law didn’t want to see outsiders. He wanted to have a meal with me alone, so we came ourselves.”
Xiao Bing pursed her lips.
It was said that a brother-in-law and sister-in-law were often united.
Their mannerisms were exactly the same.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make arrangements for my brother-in-law. He won’t starve.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll hang up first. We’re going to eat.”
“Brother-in-law, how did I do?”
“You did well,” Lin Yi said.
“An outstanding person like you shouldn’t need so much investment, so 1 decided to withdraw my investment.”
“All?! Didn’t you say that you would invest in me? You can’t go back on your word. Be careful or I’ll complain to my sister.”
“Didn’t you just say that it was just the two of us together? Even if you complain, she won’t believe you. Instead, she’ll think that you’re slandering me,” Lin Yi said.
“If you don’t believe me, you can think about it first and see who’s more important to her.”
Xiao Bing took a sip of tea and remained silent.
As the saying goes, “For every cunning of the devil, there’s a counter-cunning of the sage.”
Although their personalities were quite similar, when it came to schemes, she still fell short compared to Team Leader Lin. She still needed several more years of practice.
“Don’t think that just because the two of you are boyfriend and girlfriend, you can take my place in her heart,” Song Jiayu said matter-of-factly.
“I’m her cousin. We’re related.”
“It’s true that you’re related by blood, but don’t forget that you have a criminal record.”
At the mention of records, Song Jiayu couldn’t help but think of how she had used her legs to charm Lin Yi before the new year.
She recognized that she would lose this battle, so she cleverly changed targets.
“Sister Bing, look at this…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely invest my 50 million yuan in you. I won’t lie.”
With the Xiao family’s financial resources, this amount was nothing.
Moreover, she was Team Leader Lin’s sister-in-law. With Lin Yi standing behind her, the project would definitely not go wrong.
At worst, she would just ending up getting less in returns. It was unlikely that he would lose money.
“Look, at the critical moment, you’re not even as reliable as an outsider.”
Lin Yi looked at Xiao Bing.
“She’s calling you an outsider. Are you sure you still want to invest in her?”
“No, no, no, I misspoke, misspoke. As long as you invest in me, not to mention calling me ‘sister’, even calling me ‘sister-in-law’ is no problem.”
“That’s taking it too far. I really don’t deserve your brother-in-law,” Xiao Bing said, covering her mouth as she laughed.
“Anyway, just don’t misunderstand. We’re just on good terms. We don’t have that kind of unspeakable relationship.”
“I know that. I didn’t misunderstand from the beginning, but you still have to invest the 50 million. That’s another matter.”
Lin Yi,”…”
Xiao Bing,”…”
Team Leader Lin’s sister-in-law was really something!
