Upon hearing the woman's opening remarks, the young man lit a cigarette for himself and took a harsh drag before he opened his mouth and said, "Mom, I know Murong Qingqing is popular now! But this has nothing to do with us anymore, there's no way she will give me another chance. Because you had someone curse her for a full two months back then and almost cost her the job!"

By the end, the young man felt that his mother had indeed gone too far back then!

Hearing her son's words, she scoffed and said, "Gone too far? I don't think I have! Besides, it's said that even a sparrow can become a phoenix if it flies high enough, but she hasn't taken off yet! Let me tell you, there's nothing in this world that money can't solve."

At this point, she touched the strand of jewelry around her neck and continued, "If she doesn't agree to date you later, we'll just crush her with money. I've looked into it before, she still has a mother living in the countryside, presumably the very poor kind, so as long as we offer enough money, she will definitely succumb to you."

"That makes sense! Money makes the world go round! Our business is doing so well now, we are not short of money!"

"Indeed! We owe a lot to Xiaohe Village for looking after our business. If not for their orders of our packaging boxes, we wouldn't have been able to grow so quickly and thoroughly."

Casting his mother a glance, he spoke discontentedly, "What do you mean, 'owe a lot to Xiaohe Village'? They cooperated with us because our packaging box production is of high quality. Simply put, it's mutual benefit! Moreover, even if we lost Xiaohe Village's business, we would still make a lot, because our craftsmanship is indeed top-notch!"

Sensing his annoyance, the woman quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Alright then, let's not talk about this now. Let's focus on getting Murong Qingqing back. Once she becomes your girlfriend, you can have her help us promote our business at the TV station. By then, our business will do even better."

"Alright."

With that, the two of them swiftly got out of the car...

...

"Hmm? Is someone visiting at this hour? Could it be Qingqing's friend?"

Inside the house, as Murong Qingqing's mother was serving the chicken soup she had made, she heard a knock at the door and was slightly surprised!

After wiping her hands, she quickly went to open the door.

The moment the door opened, her expression turned exceedingly sour.

Because she recognized the woman bedecked with several strands of jewelry, oozing opulence, as Qian Li...

She could truly never forget this woman named Qian Li in her lifetime.

Previously, it was she who had claimed her daughter, Murong Qingqing, was pestering her son!

To keep Murong Qingqing away from her son, she had hired people to cause trouble at Murong Qingqing's workplace numerous times.

It was because of this that Murong Qingqing had nearly been fired...

...

"Oh, you must be Qingqing's mother, right? You've aged a lot since the last time I saw you. If you don't have good cosmetics, tell me, and I'll buy some for you! It might slow down the aging process a bit!"

As Qian Li was saying this, she pointed to the young man beside her and said, "You should still remember him! This is my son, Wei Zhengnan. I didn't approve of your daughter before, but now I've thought it over and feel that your daughter is quite acceptable. So, I've decided to give her the chance to date my son. Have her come out and see me now."

Hearing such outrageous words, Murong Qingqing's mother nearly fainted with anger.

"You approve of my daughter? Unfortunately, I don't approve of your son. Now get out, as far as you can, just get out."

"What? You're rejecting the favor I'm offering? Let me tell you, both my precious son and I are offering her a chance, don't turn down a favor."

After saying this, Qian Li shoved Murong Qingqing's mother aside and quickly walked into the room.

Wei Zhengnan frowned slightly and followed with a face full of arrogance.

Like mother, like son!

Having followed his mother for so many years, Wei Zhengnan hadn't learned much, but he had fully inherited her overbearing arrogance.

Just like now, trailing behind his mom, he lifted his neck like a proud swan...

"Who let you in here? Stop right where you are!"

Seeing them walk straight into the house, Murong Qingqing's mom shouted...

...

"What's going on downstairs? Seems like there's an argument!"

Hu Xiaobei, who had just changed the lightbulb, glanced at Murong Qingqing and asked with a hint of curiosity.

After asking, Hu Xiaobei saw Murong Qingqing gently shake her head – obviously, she also had no idea what was happening.

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Let's go have a look!"

"Okay!"

As they said this, they quickly descended the stairs...

Once they reached the bottom, Hu Xiaobei and Murong Qingqing saw two new figures in the living room!

Hu Xiaobei did not recognize them but could tell at a glance that they were the epitome of nouveau riche.

Because each one of them was dripping with jewels.

If they could wear a hundred necklaces, they truly would...

...

As Hu Xiaobei was rendered speechless by the sight, they lifted their heads to look his way!

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei heard the woman start speaking excitedly.

"Qingqing, come here! I've thought it over and think you're still pretty decent. So, if you can agree to my ten conditions, I'll allow you to date my son! Of course, if you get married in the future, we must have a prenuptial agreement. That way, after my son has had enough and divorces you, you can't take any of our family's wealth!"

Murong Qingqing, hearing this, scoffed. "Wow, you really have my best interests at heart! But save your breath, I have no interest in dating your precious son! And I definitely won't marry him! Now leave right away or I'll call security."

Rejected in this manner, Qian Li slightly furrowed her brows!

Previously, she thought that Murong Qingqing would surely agree once she listed her conditions!

But now, things were a bit off course!

With that in mind, she glanced at Murong Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, what's gotten into you? I know there were some misunderstandings between us before, just think of those as my way of testing you."

"Testing my ass!"

Hearing Murong Qingqing's cold response, Hu Xiaobei knew she was very angry!

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei asked, "What happened?"

Right after, Hu Xiaobei learned everything from Murong Qingqing's mouth.

Naturally, this included the incident where Qian Li went to create chaos at Murong Qingqing's workplace over some trumped-up nonsense.

"Scumbag!"

While Hu Xiaobei was thinking this, he heard Qian Li's arrogant retort, "What the hell are you, standing next to my prospective daughter-in-law? Are you looking to die?"
