Chapter 56: Three Brothers, You Want Them All? I'm Afraid You Can't Handle It

Xu Yanqiu thought that when her family's darling said that, she could just listen, but shouldn't take it seriously.

She and Xie Wantang, whose original families aren't great, should just work honestly, be down‑to‑earth, and earn money diligently.

She trusts Xie Wantang immensely, which is why the money she earns she willingly keeps under Xie Wantang's name, and she isn't at all worried that Xie Wantang would embezzle it.

That's what close girlfriends are like.

Even though they have no blood relation, from the day they met, day by day, up to now, they've built a natural sense of trust.

She will always believe Xie Wantang won't betray her, and likewise she will never betray Xie Wantang.

If she is destined to be alone in the future, then all her property will be inherited by Xie Wantang's children.

From Xu Yanqiu's reaction, Xie Wantang knew she didn't believe she could be a support for her.

That's right; for the past three years, the persona she gave others was that of a pitiful child whose father was absent and mother uncaring.

Xie's mother went to Haishi to pick her up; the address she gave was that of a countryside herb garden, and on the day Xie's mother went, only she and Wang Ma were there.

Xie's mother subconsciously treated Wang Ma as her adoptive mother, and even on the spot gave her a thousand yuan.

She let Wang Ma take it; the person gave it willingly, why refuse?

Wang Ma accepted it, and Xie's mother grew even more disdainful of her and Wang Ma, thinking they were unsophisticated, happily taking a thousand yuan.

Since then, after she went to Sijiucheng, her pitiful persona was embellished by Xie's mother and told to others.

Her second persona was that of a love‑brain.

She has bottomless tolerance for Lu Yanshen; whatever Lu Yanshen says, she never goes the opposite way.

Moreover, she loves Lu Yanshen unconditionally; whatever his family asks her to do, she does.

Even if Madam Lu and Lu Rourou constantly and deliberately make things difficult, she still fulfills any request.

Thus, the members of the Lu Family have become spoiled by her.

Facing her sudden change, they naturally can no longer accept it.

Whether the heads of the Lu Family or the servants.

"You don't believe a pitiful, love‑brain like me could be your support, do you?" Xie Wantang asked with a light laugh.

It was not at all surprising that Xu Yanqiu would have such a subconscious reaction.

Cough—

Xu Yanqiu couldn't help but cough.

Her family's darling has a very clear self‑perception.

But there's really no need to say it out loud.

After coughing, Xu Yanqiu awkwardly explained, "Darling, do you know why I'm livestreaming so hard?"

"Why?"

"It's to earn a bit more money and then pull you out of the Lu Family's fire pit; Lu Yanshen, that dog man, now truly isn't worth you giving him even a single shred of feeling."

"You help him so much; without you he'd be disabled. Even if Xia Meng returns, could you still want him? Isn't it just that you watch him, a cripple, become normal under your care, and now you have hope?"

"Since he's a dog man, let's not mention him, so we don't make each other unhappy," Xie Wantang said.

"Hmm, enough, you should hurry and divorce him."

"But that has to wait until he returns from abroad; how can I divorce him alone?"

"When is he coming back?"

"They say within a week."

"Alright, darling, we'll tolerate him for another seven days; after seven days, you must pull him to the Minzhengju to change the certificate."

"Hmm." Xie Wantang agreed, "Qiuqiu, actually, I have three brothers at home, they're all single now; would you consider becoming a sister‑in‑law or something?"

Pfft—

Xu Yanqiu was drinking juice when Xie Wantang suddenly changed the subject; she choked, the juice that hadn't been swallowed sprayed out, hitting her nose.

Cough cough cough—

This time Xu Yanqiu really started coughing.

Her throat was painfully irritated, her face turned red from coughing; it wasn't an act.

Xie Wantang quickly rushed over, helping her sit up straight and catch her breath.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you were drinking juice," Xie Wantang said, full of guilt.

Xu Yanqiu shook her head; she wouldn't hold a grudge over that.

"It's fine."

After a while, Xu Yanqiu finally recovered; she truly admired Xie Wantang's adoptive parents, who raised three sons and could still adopt Xie Wantang?

Impressive.

Even countryside folks can make money; even by the lowest standards, raising four children to adulthood is truly hard.

"Your parents are my idols." Xu Yanqiu, after calming down, gave a thumbs‑up to Xie Wantang's adoptive parents.

This time, Xie Wantang no longer intended to hide her true identity from Xu Yanqiu.

"They indeed can bear your admiration," Xie Wantang said with a smile, "The ones who went to the airport today were actually our family's butler and Wang Ma; as for me, I'm an adopted daughter of the Qin Family in Haishi."

"I took my adoptive mother's surname, so I'm not surnamed Qin; I'm surnamed Xie."

"I never expected my biological father to also be surnamed Xie."

When mentioning her biological parents, Xie Wantang's tone was somewhat self‑deprecating.

This time Xu Yanqiu's silence lasted a bit longer, several minutes.

Xie Wantang wasn't hurried; she gave her enough time to process.

Seeing Xu Yanqiu's expression relax considerably, Xie Wantang continued, "So, I can be your support, and my three brothers are outstanding; when you meet them, you'll surely like one of them."

"Most importantly, my parents will never despise the poor or favor the rich, nor care about social status; they disdain climbing the rankings, but everyone in Haishi knows the real richest family is ours, not the one on the current list."

You should know, they don't care about fame and profit at all.

"Adults don't make choices; if you want it, you want it all." Xu Yanqiu forced herself to make a joke.

She never imagined that her best friend, her treasure, was actually a true wealthy young lady from a prestigious family.

Then why would she act as a pitiful little thing and a love‑brain for three years?

It's the persona she previously crafted; that dog of a man, Lu Yanshen, doesn't deserve to have her treasure's true love and sincerity, let alone that her treasure is a Qin Family young lady, a true aristocracy.

The richest person in Haishi? He's absolutely not inferior to the Lu Family.

At this moment, Xu Yanqiu felt that Lu Yanshen was even less deserving of her treasure's love.

Moreover, that dog of a man has not a shred of sincerity toward her treasure.

He doesn't even have the most basic gratitude.

Such a man deserves to be kicked away by her treasure.

"You want all three brothers? I'm afraid you can't handle it." Xie Wantang covered her mouth.

""

Xu Yanqiu blushed; she just said that to hide her inexperience, alright?

If the two best friends were in sync, she shouldn't have brought up such a question.

As a result, her treasure answered seriously.

With a family like the Qin Family, she couldn't even afford one brother, let alone three.

The two girlfriends chatted happily all morning, never imagining that Lu Yanshen had placed a bug on the sofa, capturing their conversation word for word.
