"I think you've misunderstood me. I'm not the type of woman to flirt," Lin Qian interrupted.
Li Jin calmed down and glanced out the window. After Lin Qian calmed down, he said calmly, "I don't have that much time to chase after women."
Hearing this, Lin Qian was a little surprised as she looked at him helplessly, "You're a hero in most people's eyes. But, women are petty. Not everyone can be righteous."
"I will try my best to find time to get to know you better."
Li Jin's words were obviously cold, but for some reason, Lin Qian felt there was warmth in them.
"I'm a person that can be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. Don't do things that annoy me," Lin Qian replied.
"So, you don't dislike me at the moment?"
Lin Qian lowered her head and did not say a word. Forget it, Li Jin was busy and didn't appear in front of her all the time. Perhaps, this was for the best.
"My heart is hard and hard to break. If you're in a rush to get married, or if you want me to act coquettishly and roll around on top of you like other women, I can't do that."
Lin Qian did not look at Li Jin and Li Jin did not respond. After quite some time, when they were about to arrive at the restaurant, Li Jin finally said, "You're exactly as I expected. I hate troublesome women, but you … aren't troublesome at all!"
This man was quite straightforward. He treated matters between men and women like he was completing a mission. Could it be that he was so loyal to his country?
"So, give me an answer. In the end, do you want to continue developing?"
At this time, Lin Qian got out of the car and walked in front of Li Jin. After sitting down, Lin Qian replied, "Give me some time. I need to think about it. After all, we've only known each other for a few days."
"OK, but don't take too long."
Lin Qian didn't like flirtatious men like Quan Ziye who were full of unpredictable factors. But, she probably wouldn't like a man like Li Jin who did things the same way and was meticulous in everything he did, right?
He was too cold and too dignified.
The two ate in silence and Lin Qian felt a little uncomfortable. But, Li Jin casually said, "In front of me, just be yourself. I don't mind."
Thanks to Li Jin's words, Lin Qian completely relaxed.
But, it didn't take long before she received a phone call from Xing Lan, "Lin Qian, hurry back. A lawyer is looking for you …"
"A lawyer?" Lin Qian frowned. "I don't know any lawyers."
"It seems to be related to the Quan family."
Lin Qian was surprised, but still nodded, "I'll be back soon."
"Let's go, I'll take you back." Li Jin heard Lin Qian's words and immediately stood up.
It didn't take long before Li Jin escorted Lin Qian downstairs. He originally wanted to say goodbye, but Lin Qian had already entered the apartment without looking back.
This girl was pretty cool.
…
"Hello, Miss Lin. I'm the lawyer hired by Mrs. Quan. My surname is Yang."
Lin Qian entered the living room and saw the lawyer. She politely shook his hand. "Tell me, what does Mrs. Quan want?"
"These are the expenses you've spent in the Quan Family over the years. Mrs. Quan hopes you will pay them all back. After all, you're currently in the entertainment industry and you don't lack money, so …"
"That's interesting." Xing Lan stood to one side and felt a chill down her spine. "This is the first time I've heard of adoptive parents forcing their children to pay them back."
"Over the years, the Quan Family has provided you with food and clothing, but you've bitten the hand that fed you and hurt the Quan Family's only son. That's why Mrs. Quan is doing this."
"Let me have a look," Lin Qian received the list and glanced at it. "$30 million? That's enough to raise 10 of me, right? "
"If Miss Lin has any objections to the amount, you can appeal and Mrs. Quan will use legal means to seek justice for herself," the lawyer boasted shamelessly.
"The Quan Family are disgusting," Xing Lan sneered.
"If I pay back $30 million, does that mean I'm done with the Quan Family?" Lin Qian asked as she waved the list in her hand.
"In theory, yes."
"You can't be stupid enough to pay them $30 million, right? That's not a small amount. Where are you going to find the money on such short notice? "Xing Lan looked at Lin Qian worriedly.
"Mrs. Quan said that she'll give you time to prepare within a week. I think I've already conveyed my message. I'll be leaving now. Sorry for disturbing you, Miss Lin. "After speaking, the lawyer left the apartment elegantly.
"The Quan Family are weird. I've never seen such shameless foster parents."
"This is what I owe the Quan Family. It's time for me to pay them back," Lin Qian replied.
"I'm afraid, in your heart, you only owe Quan Ziye."
Lin Qian did not say a word. She simply pulled out her bank card and looked at how much money she had left.
For a manager like her, $30 million wasn't something she could afford in 3 years, let alone a week.
The Quan Family were demanding an exorbitant price. It seemed, Mother Quan was trying to get revenge for her son.
"Should I tell Ning Jie?"
"Ning Jie has practically used up all her savings to film 'Purgatory'. I don't want to make things difficult for her at a time like this. Let me think of a way."
"If you can't afford it, the Quan Family are going to take legal action. I refuse to believe that they can win. "
Lin Qian sneered, "It's fine. Focus on the competition."
"I really want to curse. They're too shameless."
Lin Qian did not say a word as she lowered her head and walked into her bedroom. Xing Lan looked at Lin Qian's back and sighed. At a time like this, she really wished that there was a man by Lin Qian's side. But, that man definitely wasn't Quan Ziye.
The reason why Quan Ziye couldn't give Lin Qian happiness, apart from his personality, was because he came from a difficult family.
After all, he had been stuck between Lin Qian and Mother Quan for so many years. This meant that he couldn't make either side compromise.
If Lin Qian had agreed to Quan Ziye back then, it wasn't hard to imagine how difficult her future would have been.
Xing Lan thought for a moment before she gave her uncle a phone call and asked for Li Jin's phone number.
However, she didn't think she should make the decision on her own.
"I'm Li Jin …"
"Errr …" Xing Lan was a little nervous as she heard the cold voice. "I'm Li Xin …"
"What's up?"
Xing Lan thought for a moment and explained the entire situation to Li Jin, "This is what happened. When Lin Qian's adoptive parents raised her, they never said that she would repay them. Yet, they're now forcing her to pay them $30 million."
"She's just a manager. Where did she get that much money?"
"I understand," Li Jin replied before she hung up the phone without waiting for Xing Lan to continue.
