Qin Hanyue stood a few steps away.
Seeing the girl on the sofa chatting away, suddenly switching to texting, bowing her head and tapping on her phone keyboard.
It looks like she noticed he was here.
Qiao Ying texted: 【I'm not poor anymore. Those villas I have in Country M, help me sell some of the cars that are just sitting there. I urgently need money. Leave the Koenigsegg One:1 for me.】
At that time, getting that car took some effort, and the performance was really good, the body was also beautiful. Letting her sell it, he was really reluctant. He would definitely drive it when he went back to Country M one day.
Ye Si saw the message and immediately asked: 【WTF, what's your situation? Did you get mixed up in something and now need to sell off your assets?】
【My bank assets are all frozen. Even if they weren't frozen, it would be inconvenient to move them. Once they're moved, it would definitely attract Shadow's attention.】
【I have quite a few safes in those villas, but only my iris can open them. Not even explosives can blast them open. So just sell the cars, it's convenient.】
Anyway, she had so many cars that she couldn't drive them all. Selling a few didn't matter.
Ye Si took a deep breath and was emotional, but still said good-temperedly: 【Do you think I'm dead? You need to sell your cars for just a bit of money? You need a few hundred billion? I'll transfer it to your account right now.】
【If both of us were broke and had to sell off our assets, I'd sell mine first. It wouldn't be your turn, baby. You're really hurting my heart.】
Qiao Ying thought for a moment: 【That works too. Taking the time to sell cars would delay you from making money. It's just to pay Black Water's wages anyway, so you can pay them first for me.】
Ye Si: 【Does Black Water have that many people? You need to sell cars to pay their wages?】 Each of her cars started at 50 million at least. Taking out a few to sell, forget supporting Black Water, she could support half of M Continent.
【Also build a 4,000 square feet small villa,】 Qiao Ying slowly typed, then suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Qin, how much longer do you plan on listening?"
Having been caught red-handed, Qin Hanyue was not embarrassed at all. He went straight to the sofa and sat down, looking at the texting girl.
"If Ms. Qiao doesn't want me to listen, how could I have heard it?"
With Qiao Ying's vigilance, how could she not have noticed him?
Of course Qiao Ying noticed. She noticed from the moment Qin Hanyue came downstairs. What she said about owing someone drinks was deliberately for Qin Hanyue to overhear.
Sure enough, she then heard Qin Hanyue say: "It's just a few drinks, not worth mentioning. Ms. Qiao doesn't need to take it to heart, let alone pay me back. Besides, I don't like drinking anyway."
Qiao Ying smiled lightly and looked up at the man: "As expected of the Qin family's man in power in the capital, rich and arrogant."
Hearing her words and seeing her smile, Qin Hanyue realized belatedly that she had deliberately said that for him to overhear.
Was she trying to pay him back or not pay him back? He figured he understood now. This little girl liked to stir up trouble for fun.
"Compared to Ms. Qiao's...boyfriend, I don't dare to pretend to be a big spender." Qin Hanyue said.
Ye Si had been sending voice messages the whole time, so of course Qin Hanyue heard everything. Including what the other party said about Qiao Ying wanting to sell cars to pay Black Water's wages.
It looks like Qiao Ying was hiding a lot of things.
"Boyfriend?" Qiao Ying shook her phone in her hand: "You mean this guy?"
Hearing her tone and how she addressed him, could it be that he was mistaken? Qin Hanyue's eyebrows raised slightly: "Calling him so affectionately, could it be that I misunderstood?"
"It's fine, Mr. Qin can be happy." Qiao Ying was too lazy to explain, and didn't feel there was a need to explain either.
Happy?
Where did he look happy?
"Now that I think about it, asking Mayor Feng Teng of Yuncheng to specifically take care of Ms. Qiao was really unnecessary at the beginning. With Ms. Qiao's skills, and such a formidable...male friend, she really didn't need me to stick my nose in."
Hearing Qin Hanyue's sudden words, Qiao Ying was a little surprised and said, "That was Mr. Qin?"
Qin Hanyue: "Ms. Qiao saved my nephew's life, so this was only right. But now it seems that my good intentions may not have helped Ms. Qiao, but instead disturbed Ms. Qiao, which was a good deed that turned bad."
"Of course not. Mayor Feng helped me a lot."
Although Qiao Ying said this, seeing the man's relaxed expression, she wondered in her heart: Why did Qin Hanyue suddenly tell her this? Did he just want a word of thanks from her?
It couldn't be showing off, could it?
Also, at Principal Zhang's house last time, he had pretended not to recognize her. So why did he take the initiative to expose their connection today, and acknowledge on his own that she was Qin Yu Cheng's lifesaver?
Something was off with him.
Qiao Ying then added a sentence: "If Mr. Qin didn't say anything today, I might have thanked the wrong person."
After all, she had always thought it was Qin Yu Cheng's idea.
Qin Hanyue smiled slightly: "I'm glad I was able to help Ms. Qiao."
At this moment, her phone buzzed. Qiao Ying casually exited the chat with Ye Si, and saw a friend request in her contacts.
She tapped it to take a look. The other party had also left a message - 【I'm Xu Mingchen】
Qiao Ying directly ignored it, swiped her phone, and went back.
On the other side, Xu Mingchen held his phone, strangely nervous.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
No rejection, no reply, not even an acceptance of the friend request.
Had she not seen it yet? Or...
A few days later,
Qin Hanyue came downstairs and heard a commotion below.
He saw Qin Yan at the front door carrying a heavy wooden box into the hall: "Ms. Qiao, it looks like your stuff."
Under Qiao Ying's direction, Qin Yan used tools to pry open the box.
Inside the box was bottles upon bottles of wine.
"Who sent Ms. Qiao so much wine?" Qin Yan curiously picked up a bottle, "Damn, are those diamonds encrusted on the wine bottle?!" Qin Yan pried and examined closely.
"They're real diamonds! And red diamonds too!"
Why did M Continent become a gathering place for mercenaries? Because there were a lot of mines here, gold mines, diamond mines.
Full of wealthy merchants.
Most of what those mercenaries escorted during missions were freshly mined diamonds and gemstones.
And two-thirds of the mines here in M Continent belonged to their God's Army, to Qin Hanyue.
So Qin Yan recognized at a glance that the diamonds on the wine bottles were real.
"Wine bottles encrusted with diamonds, that's just too damn arrogant..." Oops, sorry Ms. Qiao."
Realizing he had sworn, which was too crude, Qin Yan quickly shut his mouth.
"Let me check what wine this is." Qin Yan said, and took out his phone to search.
Ignorance is bliss. After searching, he got a huge shock.
In excitement, the profanity came out again: "Damn! The Islay Whisky limited edition is 39.86 million per bottle!"
Qin Yan looked at his phone and read quickly: "From the UK Luxury Beverage Company, the bottle is made of UK crystal, then plated with two gold bars, encrusted with 8,500 diamonds and 300 rubies. The luxurious bottle contains old single malt Islay whisky, considered the world's most expensive liquor..."
Qin Yan was so frightened that he carefully placed the wine back into the box. If it broke, he couldn't afford to pay it back even if he sold himself 800 times.
Unable to restrain himself, he picked up another frighteningly expensive bottle just to look at it.
"Billionaire Vodka, 24.58 million!"
"Maestro Dobel Diamond Tequila, 23.25 million!"
Flipping through several bottles, seeing those sky-high prices popping up, Qin Yan couldn't help but swallow.
He thought to himself: Fortunately his boss didn't like drinking, otherwise he would have bankrupted who knows how many families.
Qin Yan: "Ms. Qiao, these wines are..."
Qiao Ying: "A friend sent them."
Qin Yan wanted to ask what kind of friend was so extravagantly ruthless!
