Chapter 691: Chapter 682: Kid, Mind Your Own Business
Who wants to bribe you, Iâm just asking you to lend me some money!
Aunt Ju Xiu looked at Su Qing with a righteous face and with Du Qiang, the policeman, around; she felt like an old blood surged to her chest, unable to cough it out, unable to swallow it down.
She suspected Su Qing did it on purpose, but she had no evidence and didnât dare to break her face, after all, it was her family that needed their help now.
In response, Su Qing gave her no chance to explain, stood up directly, and said to Du Qiang: "Qiang, arrange for them to meet someone, give them a hand, and discuss a solution. Iâll wait for you outside!"
"Alright," Du Qiang said in a deep voice, embodying that leadership style, "Come with me!"
With that, he got up, and a group of people followed him in a swarm.
Pandering to one group, suppressing another, and dividing another - this is the strategy of the emperor. By solving the issue of Hao Ren, which is relatively minor, you canât say I didnât put in any effort, and Iâve already come up with a solution for you. If it doesnât work, itâs not my fault.
He can also make his aunt feel caught in a dilemma. To say that Lin Hu and Hao Ren end up the same way, even if it doesnât work out for both, there would be nothing to say. But if thereâs a successful case, wonât Lin Huâs family overthink?
Sure enough, what the ancestors left behind is really useful. Of course, this is also intentional by Su Qing. Since theyâve messed with our family, even if they are relatives, we have to make a statement.
While Du Qiang took the people to the visit, Su Qing went outside the detention center gate, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes to rest. This matter is not over yet; it has just started. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be another hard battle to fight shortly, so he must adjust his state.
"Hiss~~ hoo~~"
Just as he was resting with his eyes closed, his cousinâs voice came from behind: "Cousin? Want a smoke? Hereâs one!"
Su Qing opened his eyes and saw his cousin standing next to him, handing him a ladyâs cigarette.
Exquisite makeup, all brand-name clothes, carrying a Louis Vuitton bag, a delicate watch on her wrist, and even the nail art on her fingers was very exquisite.
Just one look, and youâd feel she was extraordinary, standing out in the crowd, with the latest iPhone 14 Plus in her other hand.
How should I put it? Although she looked good, combined with her outfit, made it even more striking, but it felt somewhat contrived to Su Qing.
Of course, this may have something to do with preconceived notions. After all, he heard about his cousinâs glorious deeds last night; he didnât expect such a dazzling appearance to have such a sordid story behind it.
Another reason was his standards being raised too high by people around him. Whether it was Shen Yi, the landlady, or Tang Nan and Li Zijun, all were better than her, making him immune long ago.
Whatâs more amazing is, the wealthier the woman around him, the simpler her dress is.
They may wear brand-name clothes, but theyâre not after the brandâs glow, just that they find the clothes nice or comfortable to wear.
A common feature is, their clothes usually bear no brand logos, and those with an untrained eye, like him, wouldnât recognize the brand unless they look for the same online clothing.
"Thanks!" Su Qing accepted the cigarette without hesitation; itâs not like he doesnât know how to smoke.
With a pop, a flame lit up, and Su Qing exhaled a puff of white smoke, laughed, and said: "Cousin, arenât you going inside to see your brother?"
"See him? I wish I could kill him, to be honest. Itâs only because heâs locked up now. Otherwise, Iâd have sent him down myself!" Lin Shanshan spat and said.
Su Qing: ...
To be honest, without acting skills, full of emotions.
If someone else said this, he would definitely think itâs a joke, but coming from her, he didnât doubt it for a second. If Lin Hu wasnât caught, these two siblings might have been ready to have a knife fight.
After all, Lin Shanshan is about to get married and start a new life to wreak havoc elsewhere, but these beautiful hopes were shattered by her brother.
You could say Lin Hu is not that bad; he gambles and steals money from home; he doesnât correct his ways. But to call him a bad person, he saved a manâs latter half of life.
This isnât just about losing tens of thousands or hundred thousands. In such a family, getting involved could ruin a lifetime. After all, in such normal families nowadays, barely anyone can withstand this disorder. Most are ordinary people with average yearly debts of sixty to seventy thousand and a gambling-addicted brother stacking "buffs," super doubled.
"So, cousin, why are you here today..." Su Qing glanced at Lin Shanshan and said.
Since youâre not here to see your brother, then why are you here?
"Didnât I hear youâd be coming today, cousin? The last time I saw you, you were this high; now, in the blink of an eye, youâre such a tall and handsome guy! I must say, my cousin is indeed a handsome bloke now!" Lin Shanshan gestured, estimating her waist height with a smile.
Su Qing: ...
Honestly speaking, his cousin is five years older than him. What does that mean?
When he was in first grade, she was already in sixth grade. The two had almost no interaction. After all, who would want to talk to a little kid?
Before he graduated elementary, she was already in a vocational school. By the time he graduated, his family moved to the city; theyâd only meet occasionally during New Yearâs back in their hometown, rarely speaking.
Later on, with her working outside, they hardly saw each other, having nothing in common.
"Hehe~ Cousin, thank you for the compliment!" Su Qing grinned, unsure of what his cousinâs intentions were.
After all, theyâre relatives, not closely related enough for her to have those intentions, so why try to cozy up?
"Look at you, learned to be polite to cousin. Youâre doing well, becoming an internet celebrity, investing in movies. How much do you make in a month now?" Lin Shanshan curiously asked.
Su Qing: ???
The transition was so fast; he hadnât even reacted yet!
And what does it mean by how much he makes a month? He doesnât have a salary anymore, right?
Wait, not exactly. Da Huang still has a salary, though he doesnât know the exact amount; itâs with Shen Yi. But it should be around twenty thousand a month, given Da Huangâs increased appearance fees with rising followers.
"Enough, enough, hehe!" Su Qing casually responded, as discussing income is pretty sensitive.
Facing his distant attitude, Lin Shanshan was not embarrassed; she moved closer mysteriously and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend, cousin?"
"Hm? Yeah...I do!"
At this, Lin Shanshanâs expression changed, but she continued, "Want a few more?"
Su Qing: ???
"Huh?"
"Huh what? I have a few friends who, knowing you are my cousin, are keen to meet you. Donât worry; itâs completely safe. Youâre not short of money now, right!
Here, take a look!"
With that, Lin Shanshan took out her phone, opened WeChat, and showed several photos and short videos with a swipe.

Su Qing: ...
At that moment, he was dumbfounded, feeling numb from head to toe, as he guessed what his cousin intended.
But he had to admit, the girls in the photos and videos were indeed dressed coolly. Instantly, a familiar yet strange phrase popped into his mind.
Pimping!!
"Sis, this wonât do, I have a girlfriend!"
"So what if you have a girlfriend? Relax, they wonât cling to you. Besides, with your current capability, which rich man doesnât dabble? The people here that I mentioned are reliable, go have fun without worries.
Itâs just that Iâve run into some issues lately and am a bit short on cash. Can you help your cousin out?"
[Loan Shark, having mingled in the world for so many years, known for some shady business tricks, lest the loan money simply barely meets her expenses.]
[Now, you stand at another crossroad in life, indulging and parting with a sum that isnât much for you, with an eighty-six percent chance of Shen Yi discovering, then parting ways.
Alternatively, a firm refusal would distance her, though sheâd hold a grudge, which affects you minimally, perhaps just speaking ill of you among hometown relatives.]
[Young man, the choice is yours!]
"You..."
Listening to the narration in his mind, Su Qing trembled in anger, wanting to curse but was powerless, after all,
Only for the beauty to strike a pose, without the writer getting out the words.
If the platform didnât restrict the words, theyâd be filled with harsh terms.
