Chapter 632: Chapter 623: Su He: Rascal, Taking Over the Scene, Taking Care of Sister-in-Law

The outcome of Ning Tong’s marriage was hinted at early on during their wedding when the commentary was provided, and with his involvement, the time until their divorce gradually shortened.

If nothing unexpected happens, this year they won’t last long before experiencing emotional crisis, and divorce will happen sooner or later.

Honestly, before leaving, he did want to remind Ning Tong, after all, they had no grudges, they were classmates, and he had a crush on her in high school.

Since he knew Zhang Chao wasn’t a good match, he wanted to help her out a bit. If she chose to abort the child now and get divorced, remarrying in the future would be much easier.

But then he thought, "None of my business, I haven’t even found a wife myself. The most important thing is, even if I do say so, would Ning Tong listen?"

Not only would she not appreciate his good intentions, she might even think he had ulterior motives. Besides, Ning Tong’s personality is obvious; her marriage is essentially a materialistic marriage, having nothing to do with love.

If it was about love, how could Zhang Chao be the one?

It’s not that he’s narcissistic, but in terms of appearance, Zhang Chao is way inferior to him. In today’s society, pure love still exists, just not much; most people, including himself, start off being driven by attraction.

If back then, when he saved Shen Yi, he found himself rescuing a woman weighing over 200 pounds with a chubby face, he’d have run away without a second thought, and probably wouldn’t have been able to save her, thinking, "She’s too heavy, I can’t carry her; you can die in the car!"

If he looked plain and unattractive, or even somewhat ugly, naturally Shen Yi wouldn’t be so invested.

What returning a life-saving favor? If you’re good-looking, you’ll be rewarded with love; if you’re not, you’ll be repaid in the next life by becoming a beast of burden, and at most, Shen Yi might give some financial compensation.

Thus, for two people to come together based on love, there must be a combination of appearance, personality, values, and more, without missing any aspect.

Whereas materialistic marriages are much simpler; just look at the conditions, as long as your material conditions are good, you can get married. Clearly, Ning Tong has this mindset.

Given this, he had even less reason to meddle, not to mention, if something went wrong and he got dragged in, if Shen Yi’s jealousy flared up, she could sabotage him again.

Meanwhile, with Ding Qiang making initial arrangements with Wang Xing and receiving affirmation from Qu Hongfei, a professional, plus having Su Qing as a shareholder nodding in agreement, the path was pretty much laid out for him.

The rest was just the issue of suppliers and intermediate transportation; this part no one else could help with. If they did help, whose business would it be?

This hurdle also required Ding Qiang to overcome himself; whether it be tough or difficult, he had to experience it on his own. If he couldn’t succeed, it would indicate that he’s not suited for this business, and he should find factory work.

That night, Ding Qiang returned to his hometown in Xining and discussed this matter with his mother.

"What? You want to start a business? Can you do it? I’m telling you, this money was earned with your father’s life, and I’m saving it for your house and marriage."

Sure enough, hearing Ding Qiang’s plan, his mother immediately opposed it.

In truth, it’s not that she doesn’t want her son to make money, but that Ding Qiang is only 23 years old, nominally 24, the same age as Su Qing and the others. At this age, most children are still immature, and asking the family to take out tens of thousands now for business is something no parent would agree to, especially when they know their circumstances best.

Is their child suited to do business? They’ve never been involved in it before, and most importantly, they don’t have much savings at home. If they lose money, what would happen then?

Currently, they have a considerable amount, about 1.56 million, but should Ding Qiang consider marriage? Consider buying a car or a house?

Children come with increased expenses, and if they fail, can the family still survive?

Older folks always prioritize stability, and this is understandable, given that they’re not wealthy, just letting the money go would be reckless, and if lost, people would talk, calling Ding Qiang a wastrel, overreaching, and he’d struggle to find a match in the future.

"Mom, this time it’s truly a good opportunity, and I’ve discussed it with Qingzi; he said it’s feasible, the partner is already found, and Qingzi is also a shareholder in the project. You don’t trust me, but don’t you trust Qingzi’s judgment? He wouldn’t just watch me lose."

Although risks exist, they’re not as high as imagined. Mom, please let me try; working outside, while reliable, won’t make one rich.

I promise, if this doesn’t work out, I’ll find a steady job, or at worst, I’ll set up a food cart and start small."

In the end, Ding Qiang had to leverage Su Qing’s name; without a strong endorsement, his mom would never agree.

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Qing’s endorsement, his mom paused, quickly considering her options.

While she wouldn’t normally care about others’ opinions, Su Qing was genuinely helping their family, taking out 300,000 without hesitation back then, arranging the death compensation afterwards.

Despite only meeting a few times, Ding Qiang’s mom knew Su Qing was someone successful, worth billions, and such a person’s words carried more weight than ordinary folks; they wouldn’t harm them.

"Son, did you say Xiao Su is involved in this project?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Qiang’s eyes flashed, and he nodded. Su Qing holds a stake, he tells this just to reassure his mom.

Seeing this, Ding Qiang’s mom breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Su is involved, it should be profitable, especially with their help which must be stronger than her son’s.

Thinking it over, she agreed, consenting to initially release 400,000. Ding Qiang wanted 500,000 originally, yet if successful, she’d willingly invest more. If they lose, she’s prepared to arrange a marriage with what’s left, ensuring at least a house, betrothal gifts, and the rest would follow as they come.

Then there’s loans for housing which would make finances more relaxed.

While Wang Xing’s situation was easier, he was clever, keeping his savings hidden from family, personally managing it.

Now that Su Qing approved, he quickly staked 300,000, leaving himself only pocket money, but enough for his needs since he still earns.

Over two days, Ding Qiang started preparations, handling business licenses and storefronts simply, as materials aren’t housed here, it’s merely a meeting place.

Initially, he’d personally arrange suppliers, transport vehicles, and deliver directly to the construction site, keeping him busy nonetheless.

Thus, Su Qing enjoyed two peaceful days until an unanticipated guest arrived.

"Knock knock knock knock! Brother~~ I’m here~"

Su He knows the password to their door, and before the couple reacted, she barged in, spotting her brother and sister-in-law cozied up on the couch.

The sudden intrusion startled them, but soon they faced a further surprise.

Su He sported a short hairstyle, not his neat buzz cut, but a medium length, over-ear style, thick bangs, and dense hair, wearing a loose black male outfit, with a men’s watch on her wrist and necklace adorning her neck.

Added to the subtle yet real bust, one gets the impression of a vibrant young boy.

With delicate features, she drew attention on the street.

Unlike Li Zijun’s boldness, it was a charm where girls surpass guys effortlessly.

Suddenly you couldn’t determine gender; girls like this are adored by young girls.

"Whoa, what happened to you?" Su Qing exclaimed, stunned by his sister’s transformation.

Next, Su He stepped up, pulled him aside, and occupied the space next to Shen Yi, wrapping one arm around her waist and lifting her chin:

"I, Su He, here to chill, hold down the fort, take care of sis-in-law, better than dumplings, more fun than..."

Before she finished, she felt herself lifted:

"Wow, trying to steal my girl? I’ll show you who’s boss, better remember whose territory this is!"

"Ahh~~ not dumplings, sis-in-law save me!" Su He immediately retreated, pleading.

Shen Yi: ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh
