Zhang Guifen sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "Your brother is thinking about Yiyi and insists on buying some snacks for her."
"Eh?"
"Is Yiyi not back from school yet?"
Zhang Guifen looked around the room as if searching for something.
Luo Qi replied, "The kindergarten organized a field trip today, so they will be back a bit later. Ye Yiming has already gone to pick up Yiyi."
"I see!"
Zhang Guifen paused and said, "Qiqi, today's incident is all that Zhang Nian's fault. If he hadn't come to pressure me and your brother, this wouldn't have happened."
"That's right!"
Luo Chenglong also said, "Sister, both Mom and I consider Brother-in-law as family. Mom and I apologize to you and Brother-in-law!"
"…"
Luo Qi was not foolish.
But after all, these two were her own mother and younger brother; she couldn't be unreasonable!
Sigh!
Luo Qi sighed and waved her hand in a show of magnanimity, "It's all in the past; let's not bring it up again."
"Ah, Mom really must have accumulated good fortune in her past life to have such a good daughter in this life!"
Zhang Guifen exclaimed.
Luo Chenglong grinned and said, "Mom, I told you! Sister definitely still supports us."
"Yes! Yes! So I can just say whatever I want."
Zhang Guifen looked at Luo Qi with a smile and said, "Qiqi! Your brother has his eye on a good girl. That girl is already pregnant with a child from the Luo family and wants…"
"A house and a car before she'll marry him!"
Hearing Zhang Guifen's words, Luo Qi felt an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, Zhang Guifen continued, "Mom is getting old and can't work anymore, so the house and car will have to rely on you."
Luo Qi's face instantly turned extremely ugly. "I don't have that much money to buy a house or a car…"
"Qiqi!"
Before Luo Qi could finish her sentence, Zhang Guifen interrupted her, "Just because you don't have money doesn't mean Yiming doesn't have any!"
"That's right!"
Luo Chenglong said, "Brother-in-law isn't lacking money at all. For him, a house and a car are nothing!"
"We're family! We should share our blessings..."
Luo Chenglong initially wanted to add "and face difficulties together," but he thought better of it and kept quiet.
Seeing that Luo Qi wasn't speaking, Zhang Guifen continued, "Qiqi, your brother is right. The money for a house and a car isn't much; it's probably just around one million!"
"By the way! The betrothal gift isn't much either; let's give the girl’s family two hundred thousand!"
"If you add it all up, that's only one hundred fifty thousand. Just ask Yiming for this amount!"
Zhang Guifen spoke without taking a breath, casually mentioning one hundred twenty thousand as if it were pocket change.
"Mom, we also need to come up with one hundred fifty thousand! Even if we could manage that amount, we can't use it to buy Brother Jackie Chan a house and a car."
Luo Qi's face flushed with anger as she said, "We haven't even bought our own house; we're still renting!"
"Qiqi! Your brother's matters are the most important."
Zhang Guifen continued to persuade her, "You all used to live in rented places; you're already used to it. There's no need to rush into buying a house. Focus on your brother first!"
"Mom, getting married and having children is Jackie Chan's own business. He needs to earn this money himself."
Luo Qi wasn't the type to unconditionally fulfill her brother's demands.
Most importantly, Ye Yiming had finally turned over a new leaf. If she gave the money to her brother, it would likely discourage Ye Yiming.
At that point, Ye Yiming might think that earning money was pointless and would end up just lazing around at home.
So...
