The two sat on the hanging chairs, Jiang Ling leaning her head on Jian Zhou’s shoulder, her expression languid, relaxed, and indifferent.
“Lingzi, don’t you have anything to tell me?” Jian Zhou suddenly spoke.
“Tell you what? Are you asking me where I got so much money?” Jiang Ling narrowed her eyes.
“Yes!”
“If I said this money was earned by me, would you believe it?”
“Believe it!” Jian Zhou nodded emphatically.
“Why?” Jiang Ling looked at him.
“Because you have the ability. My brother has said more than once that you are smart, and if this intelligence were applied to business, you would surely achieve great things.”
Jiang Ling chuckled, “Your brother really thinks highly of me. This money was indeed earned by me, but it was obtained through a cheat code. If it were from ordinary work, it would take me a hundred years to earn this much.”
“Cheat code?” Jian Zhou was surprised.
“Yes, you must have read web novels, right? I’m a lucky one who is bound to a cheat code. As for what kind of cheat code it is, I can’t tell you. In short, this money was earned legitimately, without violating any laws or regulations.”
Although she had determined Jian Zhou to be her future significant other, Jiang Ling still wanted to keep a secret.
She paused and added, “This cheat code is bound to my soul; no one can take it away!”
“So that’s how it is!” Jian Zhou realized, “No wonder you met my mother with such confidence; turns out you’re a rich lady!”
Jiang Ling smiled, “That’s right, sis is a rich lady, a wealthy one. Money is not just a man’s confidence, but also a woman’s security. If you can’t be economically independent, how can you talk about personal independence? Other women have to suffer and choose between love and bread, but I don’t need to, because I have my own bread and only need to find someone I like to live a good life.”
Jian Zhou suddenly remembered something and asked, “Were Ye Pengpeng and the others also blacklisted by you?”
“That’s right. These guys were blind and provoked me, so naturally, I wouldn’t let them off easy. If a tiger doesn’t show its fangs, they really think this grandma is a sick cat!”
“I understand, everything makes sense now. I was wondering why Ye Pengpeng, a top-tier celebrity, would be blacklisted for no reason. At that time, I thought my sister-in-law couldn’t stand seeing you bullied like this and asked my brother to help deal with them. I immediately asked my brother to confirm, but he shook his head and said no. Then I thought and thought but couldn’t figure out which powerful figure made the move. Turns out, this big shot is you yourself!”
“Hehe, didn’t expect that!” Jiang Ling smiled triumphantly.
“I really didn’t expect it, my darling, you’re amazing!” Jian Zhou cupped Jiang Ling’s face and kissed her several times.
Jiang Ling let out a soft hum, “Since you know I’m capable, be careful with me from now on. If I find out you’re involved with any other women, you’ll see how I deal with you!”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!”
Jian Zhou repeatedly pleaded for mercy, finding her possessiveness incredibly endearing.
The two continued to admire the moon. After a long silence, Jian Zhou hesitantly spoke, “Lingzi!”
“Hmm?”
“Uh… well, I also have something to hide from you.”
Jiang Ling’s eyes narrowed as she looked at him, then chuckled, “Don’t tell me you’re also very rich, with a super substantial fortune, and this fortune isn’t from the Jian family’s wealth, right?”
“Holy crap! How did you know?”
Jian Zhou shot up from the hanging chair as if his butt was on fire, staring at Jiang Ling in disbelief.
