Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mister Wu! I’ll accept this betrothal gift. When do you think Duke Qin can come to propose marriage?”

Su Jingyu had a face full of confidence. She believed that the person that Duke Qin liked was definitely her!

“Your name is Su Qingying?”

Qin Wu glanced at Su Jingyu and said directly.

“I am not Su Qingying. My name is Su Jingyu,” Su Jingyu shook her head repeatedly.

“Since you aren’t Su Qingying, who told you to touch this money? Put it back!” Qin Wu reprimanded her mercilessly.

“Mister Wu, I—”

Su Jingyu was stunned. Why wasn’t the situation developing as she had imagined?

“Duke Qin said that he has his eyes on a woman called Su Qingying from your Su family. Which one of you is Su Qingying?” asked Qin Wu.

“What? Su Qingying?”

Upon hearing those words, Su Jingyu immediately looked towards Su Qingying, gnashing her teeth in anger!

“Are you looking for me?”

Su Qingying stood up doubtfully. She never expected that she would be the one receiving the betrothal gift!

“You’re Su Qingying?”

Qin Wu’s gaze landed on Su Qingying as his eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but nod.

She was indeed a pretty girl from a humble family. She could be said to be stunning! She was much better than Su Jingyu and the others!

“Mister Wu, are you mistaken? Su Qingying is already married and even gave birth to a child. She’s now an old hag that no one wants. Why would the old man like her?”

Su Jingyu was unwilling to give up. The 188 million yuan that had been placed in front of her actually belonged to a b*tch like Su Qingying? How could she accept this?

“Is this your business?”

Qin Wu glared at Su Jingyu. She was instantly so frightened that she didn’t dare say another word. All she could do was stare at Su Qingying with resentment!

Su Qingying! You damn woman! Why don’t you just die!

If it weren’t for you, the 188 million yuan that day would be mine!

Go to h*ll!

Su Jingyu kept cursing at Su Qingying in her heart. If curses could kill, Su Qingying would have been killed by Su Jingyu thousands of times!

“I’ll pass on the message. Su Qingying, get ready. The Qin family will send someone to bring you over in three days.”

“He’s courting death!”

Qin Bei was furious!

That thing who did not know better actually had his eyes on his woman!

“Qin Bei, don’t. Duke Qin’s influence in Qingzhou is too strong. I’ll handle this matter. Don’t be rash.”

Su Qingying suddenly grabbed Qin Bei’s hand and shook her head to tell him to calm down.

“I’m sorry, Mister Wu. I’ve already married someone else, and my heart belongs to someone else. I can only reject your kindness,” Su Qingying declined politely.

“What, are you rejecting me? Rejecting Duke Qin?”

Qin Wu narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He looked rather displeased!

In Qingzhou, disobeying the will of Duke Qin was equivalent to disobeying an imperial edict in ancient times. The consequences were very serious!

The moment he finished speaking, the entire Su family’s courtyard fell silent. Some people even looked at Su Qingyan unhappily!

Was this woman trying to kill all of them?

Qin Wu narrowed his eyes as he sat in his seat. He didn’t speak or move, immediately making Matriarch Su feel uneasy.

“Mister Wu, that’s not what she meant. I call the shots for this marriage, and I agree to it. When the time comes, we’ll definitely let her enter the doors of Duke Qin grandly!”

Matriarch Su hurriedly said, afraid that they would make Qin Wu unhappy.

“Hmph. In any case, I’ve brought Duke Qin’s wishes. All of you are on your own!” Qin Wu’s expression sank completely. Clearly, he was very displeased with Su Qingying’s rejection!

“Well, Mister Wu, it’s your first time coming to my Su residence today, so I didn’t have anything prepared. Coincidentally, I have a Buddhist tablet here. This was specially blessed by an accomplished monk from Southeast Asia. It’s very spiritual, so I’ll give it to you today!”

Suddenly, Su Jingtong broke the awkward silence. He took out a Buddhist tablet from his pocket and stuffed it into Qin Wu’s hand.

That Buddhist tablet was clear and transparent, one could tell at a glance that it wasn’t cheap. It was definitely of top quality!

“Not bad, this is good stuff. I can bring it back and offer it to Duke Qin. Young man, what’s your name? You’re very smart. If you have time, I can put in a good word for you in front of Duke Qin.”

Upon seeing the Buddhist tablet, the gloominess on Qin Wu’s face finally dissipated slightly as he beamed.

“Thank you, Mister Wu! Mister Wu, my name is Su Jingtong. I’m the eldest son of the Su Family! In the future, I’ll be relying on Mister Wu’s guidance!”

When Su Jingtong heard this, he was overjoyed. In his heart, he repeatedly said that gifting this Buddhist tablet was worth it!

“Mister Wu! I have a golden buddha here for you!”

“Mister Wu! I still have…”

Seeing Su Jingtong take the initiative, the other members of the Su family could no longer sit still. They fought to be the first to offer up their valuables, making Matriarch Su fume with anger!

I’ve never seen you all so eager to offer treasures during my birthday!

After obtaining a large number of good items from Su family, Qin Wu finally left in satisfaction. Qin Bei’s clenched fists gradually relaxed.

If Su Qingying hadn’t been stopping him, he wasn’t sure if he would have gone berserk and killed Qin Wu!

“I now announce that all members of the Su family are to convene an emergency meeting! Follow me!”

After Qin Wu left, Matriarch Su suddenly stood up and announced. Clearly, Matriarch Su had already made a decision regarding what had happened.

“Trash with the surname Qin, get lost! Are you a member of my Su family?”

Seeing that Qin Bei was about to accompany Su Qingying, Su Jingtong mocked him mercilessly.

“Are you courting death?”

Qin Bei glared at Su Jingtong. Su Jingtong was so scared that his neck immediately shrunk. When he recalled the kick he received from Qin Bei, his expression changed slightly.

“Hmph! I’ll teach you a lesson sooner or later!”

Su Jingtong said a few harsh words and left.

“Qin Bei, it’s okay. Take Qin Pan home first. I’ll go back after this is over,” Su Qingying comforted him softly.

“Okay, call me if anything happens.”

Qin Bei nodded. The murderous intent in his eyes gradually disappeared..
