Chapter 480 - Cousin Visits Again
Zhaolong paused when he saw the flash of disgust in Xinyan's eyes. He understood what was going on. From the looks of it, Wang Xinyan was a girl with high standards. She wasn't like those materialistic girls who'd get excited at the sight of a rich young master like him, wanting nothing more than to throw themselves at him!
But the more Xinyan acted like this, the more Zhaolong was tempted. He wouldn't say anything if he were to marry a girl who was greedy for money, but he wouldn't be happy about it.
Xinyan's reaction was just what he wanted, and the desire in Zhaolong's eyes disappeared in a flash, returning to his previous clarity. He was a schemer, and the fact that he'd been studying so hard for so many years showed how strong his willpower was.
"Hello Xinyan, I'm Zhaolong. I hope we can get along well!" Zhaolong reached out his hand and greeted Xinyan warmly.
If Zhaolong had been like this from the start, Xinyan wouldn't have hated him as much as she did now. After all, he was a sacrifice for the family's benefit. Xinyan wouldn't hate him even if she didn't like him.
But the desire in Zhaolong's eyes showed that his heart wasn't pure, and it made Xinyan feel disgusted. She looked at Zhaolong's hand and said faintly, "I'm sorry, I was locked up by my family, and I haven't washed my hands for a few days."
"Ah?" Zhaolong paused, and his face darkened. But it was only for a second, and he returned to normal. He was angry that Xinyan didn't give him any face at all, saying that she was forced to do it in front of everyone. How could Zhaolong take that? But Zhaolong couldn't afford to fall out with Xinyan right now. First of all, Xinyan was a woman he liked, and there was no harm in pursuing a woman like that! Second of all, he couldn't fall out with the Xiao family for the sake of the family's benefit.
"It seems that Xinyan doesn't want to marry into House Kang, does she?" Doctor Kang was a little angry at Xinyan's words. Zhaolong couldn't say it, but he could!
Although the Kang family was not an aristocratic family yet, the marriage was mutually beneficial, and the Xiao family also understood it very well. Moreover, the old master of the Xiao family had passed away, and there were only two juniors left. Doctor Kang was qualified to take advantage of his seniority.
"I … …" Xiao Ji was a little irritated as well- he didn't expect Xinyan to be so disrespectful in a situation like this. He was about to scold her a little, but Xiao Ben shot him a look, and he shut his mouth.
In the Xiao family, although Xiao Ji was the eldest, Xiao Ben was very intelligent. Xiao Ji now understood that the only way to protect the family was if the two of them worked together. So, he gave up on being the eldest and listened to Xiao Ben.
"Elder Kang, she's a girl. How can she agree to it so easily?" Xiao Ben smiled. "It's the young people's business, of course. We're just acting as a middleman, and the key lies with them. Let's get to know each other first, and only then can we plan our next step!"
Xiao Ben's words were smooth. It was different from what he had originally intended, but Doctor Kang could still accept it. Xinyan was clearly against it, and the Xiao family must have done a lot of work for her. If Doctor Kang were to insist on something, it would only make things worse, and that wasn't what Doctor Kang wanted to see. The only thing he could do was to let the two get to know each other as Xiao Ben suggested.
"Now that the two know each other, it's better to get to know each other more! I heard that Xinyan's studying in Songshan? Let Zhaolong go play with her on the weekends when he's free. "Doctor Kang nodded.
"Xinyan, don't say no when I go find you!" Zhaolong said with a smile.
"I'm in twelfth grade, and I'm very busy. I don't have time …" Xinyan said faintly.
Xinyan had the intention to say no, but her reason was flawless. Zhaolong wasn't happy about it, but he could only say, "There should be time for a meal, right? I'll just treat you to a meal and get to know each other! "
"That … Depends on the time." Xinyan frowned, but there was nothing she could do since Zhaolong had already said so. She felt a little depressed when she saw her father's earnest gaze.
No matter what, she had to deal with it first. She was still young, and if she dragged it out, something might happen! Xinyan felt a little more at ease at the thought.
Doctor Kang's expression softened a little when Xinyan stopped objecting. "Guifeng has booked a table at the hotel. Let's go together!"
Tang Yin didn't know how her day passed. She stumbled home at night to see her mother and father discussing buying a storefront with a smile on her face.
"Yin, you're back?" Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Yun happily, not noticing her daughter's strange mood. "Your dad and I are looking into it. We want to get a bigger store, preferably one with two floors. Our house is big enough, and it won't cost much. Five hundred thousand should be enough!"
"Oh …" Tang Yin replied faintly, unable to say the words that were at the tip of her tongue. She wanted to take back the five hundred thousand from her mother, but how could she do that now? Tang Yin went back to her room, depressed, and closed the door. She laid on her bed and started crying.
After crying for a while, she fell asleep …
Tang Yin would go back to her room to read every day after school, so Mrs. Tang didn't find it strange at all.
She didn't know how long it had been, but Tang Yin was woken up by a commotion. She got up in a daze, wanting to wash her face before coming back to her room to read. She opened the door to see her brother, Wang Luwei, and his girlfriend, Dan, sitting on the sofa with a hesitant look on their faces.
"Yin, you're awake? I didn't dare wake you up because you were asleep! " Mrs. Tang said happily. "You're tired from school every day, so I didn't want to disturb you. Now that you're awake, I need your help with Wei's matter!"
Tang Yin paused. "What's wrong with Wei?"
"Sis … You have to help me!" Wei looked at Tang Yin dejectedly, begging. "You have to save Dan!"
"What now? What did you do this time? "Tang Yin was already in a bad mood, and hearing that Wei was in trouble made her even more unhappy.
Wei could see that, and so could Mrs. Tang. She glared at Tang Yin. "What, you're not going to care about your brother now that you're rich?"
