Chapter 16: Bowing Down to Money

Just as Su Jing was about to say something, Gu Jue spoke again.

“Besides his status, Qin Feng isn’t good enough for Jingjing. I will catch up to him in the future, but I can’t let Jingjing suffer by his side.”

After speaking, Gu Jue walked over and grabbed Su Jing’s hand. His gaze was gentle and firm as he looked at her.

Su Jing was touched when she heard this, but she was completely shocked. At this moment, she wished she could find some tape to cover Gu Jue’s mouth.

He said some really nice words, but she wished he would not say another word.

Li Xiu looked at Gu Jue from the side, “You have no right to speak here.”

Gu Jue wanted to say something more, but Su Jing quickly covered his mouth and pushed Gu Jue into the bedroom.

“Jingjing,” Gu Jue grabbed onto Su Jing’s hand, his eyes filled with innocence and confusion.

Su Jing couldn’t bear to do this, so she let go of Gu Jue’s hand.

She said in a gentle tone, “Little Jue, go into the room for a while. My mother and I have something to talk about in private. Be good.”

After speaking, Su Jing pushed Gu Jue into the bedroom and closed the door.

If it weren’t for the fact that her host only knew how to have fun and didn’t know how to work or save money, Su Jing wouldn’t be so powerless in front of Li Xiu.

Forget it. To live, she had no choice but to bow down to money.

After Su Jing came out, Li Xiu coughed lightly, “I don’t care how you fool around. Just don’t have an illegitimate bastard.”

The corners of Su Jing’s mouth twitched. The mother of her host was really open-minded!

In reality, Su Jing’s arrogance had a lot to do with Li Xiu. Li Xiu was a woman who was greedy for power and status. Li Xiu had educated Su Jing that all she needed to do was marry a rich and powerful husband in the future.

She also pampered and spoiled Su Jing, causing her to have nothing else to do but squander and fall in love.

Su Jing sighed helplessly. With a mother like her, it was no wonder she ended up like this.

“Don’t worry. I don’t have anything to do with that kid.”

“Yes, you better not.” Li Xiu’s response was extremely cold.

She sat down on the sofa and questioned Su Jing, “Today was such a good opportunity. Why didn’t you let Qin Feng sign the contract?”

About this matter, Li Xiu was confused.

She remembered how happy her daughter was when she received the contract last night. She even wanted to marry Young Master Qin as soon as he signed the contract.

‘How did her daughter’s attitude change so quickly?’

“Mom, don’t worry about Qin Feng and me. He doesn’t like me anyway. There’s no happiness in being together.”

Su Jing really didn’t want to have anything to do with Qin Feng. She couldn’t tell Li Xiu that if she continued to get involved with Qin Feng, she would end up dead on the streets, right?

Who would believe such a ridiculous reason?

Hearing Su Jing’s words, Li Xiu was furious, “What do you mean? Are you trying to give up on Qin Feng? I’m warning you. I will never agree to your marriage with that gigolo. You better put away your thoughts and continue to win Qin Feng’s favor. Only the Qin family is worthy of the Su family!”

“Mom!” Su Jing wanted to retort but was interrupted by Li Xiu.

She said, “I’ve already made arrangements. You are going to work at Qin Feng’s company tomorrow. You better seize this opportunity and make sure Qin Feng falls in love with you.”

Hearing this, Su Jing became anxious and immediately rejected, “I’m not going.”

“You’re not going?” Li Xiu looked at Su Jing in shock. This was the first time Su Jing disobeyed her orders.

Su Jing did not want to go to her own death. She had just said that she was not going to pester him today, and now she was going to work at his company the next day? What is this nonsense? 

Li Xiu glanced at her, “If you don’t go, don’t blame me for cutting off our mother-daughter relationship and cutting off all your sources of income.”

“Mom…” Su Jing dragged out her voice as she called out helplessly.

She could live without anything except for money.

Li Xiu stood up and looked at Su Jing lovingly, “Don’t even think about selling your luxury cars and jewelry in exchange for money. I’ve already asked the housekeeper to put away the jewelry and lock the garage door.”

Great, even her escape route was blocked!

Su Jing had no choice but to agree, “No, no, no, I’m going to work at Qin Feng’s company, okay?”

“Okay, it’s settled then. Report on time tomorrow. Don’t be late and dress up nicely.” Li Xiu walked to the door in satisfaction and didn’t forget to remind her.

Su Jing nodded her head reluctantly.
