Chapter 352: Chapter 353: My mom said that when I get married, I need to provide a house.

Qin Yue’s mother, Ji Ruyun, also worked in the medical system.

Initially, she attended the same school as Qin Xiaoyuan and, after graduation, was assigned to the same unit.

At that time, the two of them together earned less than a hundred yuan a month, and what’s more, they were so busy they barely had time to take care of their child.

To ensure Qin’s better development, Qin Yue’s mother was ready to resign.

But as it happened, personnel transfers were more convenient back then than now; it was possible to move between professional and administrative positions!

So Ji Ruyun just happened to be seconded to the health department.

Moreover, Ji Ruyun’s career development went smoothly, following her former leader, who is now the director of the Dongyang Province Social Security Center, a real power player.

This often led Ji Ruyun to sigh that she had sacrificed herself for the family and ended up becoming a leader.

Every time she and her husband argued, Ji Ruyun would utter a sentence, and Old Qin would immediately be defeated!

“For this family, for your better development, I moved to an administrative position and now I’m a director! I’ve given so much for this family! Do you think it was easy for me?”

This sentence left Old Qin angry but unable to speak; he always felt it wasn’t so much a grievance as a threat…

The implication was, “You’d better behave; I’m your boss… Beware, one day I might get upset and inspect the medical insurance in your hospital!”

No wonder they say the Qin family is impressive now!

Qin Xiaoyuan is the director of the Provincial Second Hospital, and his wife Ji Ruyun is the director of the Dongyang Province Social Security Center. This makes them a powerhouse in the medical system in Dongyang.

…

…

Ji Ruyun looked curiously downstairs, feeling that something was off, and she turned around to look at Qin Xiaoyuan.

With a puzzled and surprised face, “Old Qin! Are you… Are you keeping something from me?”

Qin Xiaoyuan remained impassive, grunting coldly, “Have I, Qin, served as director all these years for nothing?”

He then raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, “How could that be? We have no secrets between us.”

After saying this, he suddenly turned around, ran into the bedroom to put on his clothes and pants, “Right, wife, Yueyue went out on a date. We can’t neglect ourselves either. I’ll go buy groceries. I’ll be cooking at noon!”

With these words, Qin Xiaoyuan quickly got up and hurried out the door.

Just as he descended the stairs, Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, “That woman is terrifying!”

He rushed downstairs, partly to dodge his wife’s probing questions, and partly to see if he could catch up to Yueyue and find out where the two had gone.

Unfortunately, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Qin Yue and Chen Cang getting into a taxi and leaving.

…

…

Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue with surprise, “Wow, you actually have a dress?”

“I’ve known you for three years, and this is the first time I’ve seen you wear makeup, right?”

“And not bad, you actually look pretty good!”

Listening to Chen Cang’s infatuated praises, Qin Yue also felt delighted inside. However, she pouted, folded her arms across her chest, and put on an air of disdain.

“By the way, you said you had a big deal to bring me in on. What is it?”

Chen Cang chuckled, “An absolute big deal! The kind worth millions!”

Qin Yue turned to look at Chen Cang with a mysteriously coy expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “To buy a house?”

Chen Cang was instantly dumbfounded, “How did you know?”

Qin Yue hadn’t had the chance to scoff at Chen Cang when she heard the cab driver up front chuckling, “Young man, what are you going to Haian New District for if not to buy a property? There are several real estate developments there, and aside from apartments, there’s not much else going on! The surrounding infrastructure hasn’t even been built yet, you can’t possibly be going there to move bricks, right?”

Chen Cang was taken aback by the comment.

Even Qin Yue couldn’t help but let out giggles.

Haian New District, not far from the Provincial Second Hospital, is a new area constructed after the demolition of urban villages and merger with the old city. Planned with the future in mind, it is accessible by Subway Line 1, neighbors a forest park, and boasts a beautiful environment among other nice features, with several urban real estate projects ready for sale.

Chen Cang came to understand this after a visit.

It’s just… he didn’t expect to be exposed by Qin Yue before he could even say it.

No challenge at all!

Thinking about it, Chen Cang felt a bit disappointed. He had wanted to shock Qin Yue with his willingness to spend a fortune on a property to show her what wealth and generosity looked like!

Now it seemed like that hope had been dashed.

The taxi uncle was quite chatty, speaking right up, “Young fella, you two are planning to get married and buy a matrimonial home, aren’t you?”

Chen Cang first thought to deny it, but then a sly smile crossed his mind and, glancing teasingly at Qin Yue, he sighed deeply and said with a look of helplessness, “Yeah, buying a house for marriage. After all, young girls are just too realistic these days, no house, no marriage!”

Qin Yue was momentarily startled, then caught on to Chen Cang’s teasing gaze and immediately realized, this scoundrel… his intention to belittle me is relentless!

At that moment, the driver suddenly said, “Oh, young man, you’re wrong there. Such a beautiful girl, she must have a lot of guys chasing her! If I were you, I’d feel so blessed, even if it’s a bit tough. Coming home to such a beautiful wife, how happy that would be! You’d still have to buy a house, really, and besides, whoever you marry, you’d have to buy a house anyway, right?”

Chen Cang blurted out, “What the heck?”

Buddy, you’re a guy, can’t you be on my side here?

With that thought, Chen Cang sighed regretfully and decided to up the stakes, “The key point is, her mother is also asking for a dowry of 200,000!”

After saying that, Chen Cang felt it wasn’t enough, so he added more, “And she wants a car starting from 200,000 as well.”

“I’m really under a lot of pressure!”

Indeed, as soon as he said this, the driver went silent, casting a meaningful glance at Qin Yue, thinking, ‘I better not mess with her!’

Qin Yue, looking at Chen Cang, was so annoyed she felt itchy in her teeth.

She wished she could pull out a 40-meter long sword and stab Chen Cang 30 times, carefully avoiding vital points each time, causing only minor injuries in the end.

Suddenly, Qin Yue said slowly, “My mom said, when I get married I’ll bring a house, a car, and 500,000 for decorating!”

Suddenly, the driver almost slammed on the brakes!

Fuming, he exclaimed, “Young man, you better hurry up, how supportive your mother-in-law is!”

Thus, the chatty cabby began dispensing all sorts of advice to Chen Cang, ranging from pre-marital finances to mother-in-law’s inheritance, from kids’ names to future planning… and even how to please the mother-in-law.

It had to be said, cab drivers truly are a versatile profession.

The only downside was when Chen Cang got out of the cab, his head was buzzing with all the imposed ideas about being a parasitic son-in-law.

Chen Cang hurriedly shook his head, scared that he wouldn’t be able to resist.

Even though Qin Yue was really beautiful.

Even though Qin Xiaoyuan, the future father-in-law, was truly reliable.

Even though the driver made a lot of sense!

But…

Why do I feel a bit… weak at the knees?

Seeing Qin Yue’s mocking face, Chen Cang stood up straight, ‘Little Missy, we’ve got a long life ahead, one day I’ll make you kneel and sing Conquest.’

Thinking this, Chen Cang clenched his teeth and glared at Qin Yue.
