"What's with that expression... We're rich, you should be happy!" Tang Jiaojiao coaxed for a long time before finally squeezing out this sentence in frustration.
Su He pursed her lips, accepting the reality.
Yes, she should be happy!
At least she wouldn't have to worry about her adoptive parents' retirement pensions!
Su He comforted herself, then suddenly asked, "Besides this place, how many other properties do we own?"
"I'm not very clear about the specifics, you'd have to ask Old Su. Anyway, we won't have to worry about a place to live in this life, or the next!" Tang Jiaojiao started counting on her fingers, then gave up.
Su He was speechless, her eyes wide open.
How many houses did their family have!
"Su Su, why are you here today?" After answering her question, Tang Jiaojiao finally got to the point.
Su He blankly took out a card from her bag and handed it to her. "I'm here to return money!"
"Return what money?" Tang Jiaojiao didn't react immediately.
"The two million you used to invest in the TV series," Su He said.
"Is it not enough? We only had that much cash at the time, so we just took it. If you think it's too little, I can ask your dad to add another ten million, how about that?" Tang Jiaojiao pushed the card back.
Su He: ...
If it were before, she would have thought her adoptive mother was dreaming.
"No," Su He explained. "Even if the crew is short of funds, they can't take your money!"
"With our relationship, is there a need to differentiate between yours and mine? Once it's given, I can't get it back." Tang Jiaojiao proudly tilted her chin. "Frankly, this little bit of money is nothing. I could buy a set of jewelry that's worth more than this."
Su He: ...
What a wealthy and overbearing rich lady!
Su He now understood where Tang Jiaojiao's confidence came from when she dominated the business world.
"Let's consider the two million as your pocket money," Tang Jiaojiao said with a radiant smile. "Women should never mistreat themselves! When you're free, remember to spend more on yourself and take care of yourself. You're so young, and you already have dark circles..."
Su He didn't know how to respond.
It was already afternoon when Su He left the villa. Looking at the pink sports car parked in the yard, the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
This had to be Tang Jiaojiao's ride!
She loved pink the most.
Compared to her sports car, her own car was truly insignificant.
That night, Su He lay in bed, still unable to fully process everything. So, she took out her phone and complained to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth on the other end of the line. "Miao Miao, are you deliberately making people jealous? You found a super handsome and super rich husband, and on top of that, your adoptive parents and siblings are all wealthy. It truly makes me envious to the point of itching!"
"I'm not showing off, I just... feel it's not real!" Su He replied lazily, lying on her pillow. To suddenly go from a nobody to a rich young lady, anyone would be disoriented.
"Can't get used to suddenly being rich? It's okay, I have great adaptability! Ask your adoptive mother if they're still looking for a goddaughter. I can do it!" Jiang Xiaoxiao joked.
Su He chuckled, "Forget goddaughter, daughter-in-law is more like it!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao blushed at the teasing. "What nonsense are you talking about, who would... Nothing is happening!"
"It might not be happening now, but that doesn't mean it won't in the future! I think you two definitely have a chance." Su He's intuition was always accurate.
She could vaguely sense Su Chen's feelings for her. However, she had always treated him as a brother and didn't want to ruin their years of sibling affection because of it, so she had pretended to be oblivious.
Similarly, last time in Nancheng, she had noticed the subtle feelings between him and Jiang Xiaoxiao. Although not particularly obvious, she trusted her intuition.
"Xiaoxiao, feelings can be cultivated. Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side! Come on! Strive to capture that cold iceberg soon, I'm waiting for you to be my sister-in-law!"
Hearing the title of sister-in-law, Jiang Xiaoxiao's face turned fiery red. "You, don't talk nonsense..."
After speaking, she quickly glanced behind her.
Huh? Something's up!
Su He looked at her with a half-smile.
"It's getting late, I, I need to sleep, bye!" Jiang Xiaoxiao hung up the video call before Su He could say anything shocking.
Su He couldn't help but giggle at her obvious attempt to cover things up.
Lu Yanbei came out of the bathroom, drying his hair, and seeing his little wife laughing heartily, his mood lightened considerably. "What's so funny?"
Su He stood up, hooked her arms around his neck, and whispered conspiratorially, "My brother and my best friend are living together!"
"How do you know?" Lu Yanbei asked, playing along.
"I was video calling with Xiaoxiao just now, and she secretly looked back. If there was no one else in the room, why would she have such a panicked expression? And she hung up the call, she must be guilty!"
Lu Yanbei knew that Su Chen had been coveting his beloved for a long time and couldn't wait for him to fall for someone else soon. "Your brother might not be so easily swayed."
"It's hard to say about matters of the heart! Love grows over time, understand?" Su He smiled, using a towel to wipe the water droplets from his hair. She was wearing a thin nightgown, her soft body leaning against his chest, making her particularly alluring.
Lu Yanbei embraced her slender waist, his eyes deepening.
When Su He realized the danger, she was already lying on the soft bed.
"Lu Yanbei, my waist is still sore..." she said coquettishly, hugging his neck.
"I'm the one who's been working hard, you just lie there," Lu Yanbei leaned down and silenced her chattering little mouth.
After that, Su He was completely immersed in the intense sensations he brought, with no time to think about anything else.
The room was filled with passion, and she had a good night's sleep.
The next day was the weekend, and the couple slept in until well past sunrise.
"Good morning." Su He woke up in Lu Yanbei's arms and habitually leaned over to kiss his chin.
Lu Yanbei grunted and pulled her closer. "Good morning, Mrs. Lu."
Hearing his deep, sexy voice, Su He felt incredibly content.
After lying in his arms for a while, Su He suddenly remembered something. "Grandpa called yesterday, asking about the wedding. What are your plans?"
Last year, she hadn't regained her memory, and getting married to him was more of a rushed decision. The wedding was also forced to be canceled due to her injury. Now that she had recovered her lost memories, and Lu Yanbei had proposed to her in front of others, their feelings had heated up, and the wedding was naturally back on the agenda.
"What kind of wedding do you want?" Lu Yanbei asked in a hoarse voice.
Su He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't want it to be too troublesome! A simple ceremony would be fine."
"That might be a bit difficult." Lu Yanbei rubbed his temples. He, Lu Yanbei, was the future heir of the Lu family. No matter how low-key his wedding was, it couldn't be too casual.
Even if he wanted it to be, the old man wouldn't allow it.
