Chapter 691: Chapter 682: Kid, Mind Your Own Business
Who wants to bribe you, I’m 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 didn’t 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. I’ll 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 can’t say I didn’t put in any effort, and I’ve already come up with a solution for you. If it doesn’t work, it’s 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 doesn’t work out for both, there would be nothing to say. But if there’s a successful case, won’t Lin Hu’s family overthink?
Sure enough, what the ancestors left behind is really useful. Of course, this is also intentional by Su Qing. Since they’ve 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 cousin’s voice came from behind: "Cousin? Want a smoke? Here’s one!"
Su Qing opened his eyes and saw his cousin standing next to him, handing him a lady’s 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 you’d 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 cousin’s glorious deeds last night; he didn’t 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.
What’s more amazing is, the wealthier the woman around him, the simpler her dress is.
They may wear brand-name clothes, but they’re not after the brand’s 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, wouldn’t recognize the brand unless they look for the same online clothing.
"Thanks!" Su Qing accepted the cigarette without hesitation; it’s not like he doesn’t know how to smoke.
With a pop, a flame lit up, and Su Qing exhaled a puff of white smoke, laughed, and said: "Cousin, aren’t you going inside to see your brother?"
"See him? I wish I could kill him, to be honest. It’s only because he’s locked up now. Otherwise, I’d 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 it’s a joke, but coming from her, he didn’t doubt it for a second. If Lin Hu wasn’t 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 doesn’t correct his ways. But to call him a bad person, he saved a man’s latter half of life.
This isn’t 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 you’re not here to see your brother, then why are you here?
"Didn’t I hear you’d be coming today, cousin? The last time I saw you, you were this high; now, in the blink of an eye, you’re 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; they’d only meet occasionally during New Year’s 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 cousin’s intentions were.
After all, they’re 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. You’re 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 hadn’t even reacted yet!
And what does it mean by how much he makes a month? He doesn’t have a salary anymore, right?
Wait, not exactly. Da Huang still has a salary, though he doesn’t know the exact amount; it’s with Shen Yi. But it should be around twenty thousand a month, given Da Huang’s 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 Shanshan’s 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. Don’t worry; it’s completely safe. You’re 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 won’t do, I have a girlfriend!"
"So what if you have a girlfriend? Relax, they won’t cling to you. Besides, with your current capability, which rich man doesn’t dabble? The people here that I mentioned are reliable, go have fun without worries.
It’s just that I’ve 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 isn’t much for you, with an eighty-six percent chance of Shen Yi discovering, then parting ways.
Alternatively, a firm refusal would distance her, though she’d 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 didn’t restrict the words, they’d be filled with harsh terms.
