As Shen Junqing asked the question, Qin Lu also looked at her.
Even Old Madam Qin quietly paid attention to this side.
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Nan Yan calmly replied, “No, Third Brother is quite good.”
Anyone who could bring her along to earn money was a good person.
Moreover, although Shen Junqing can be a bit annoying, he was very good to her.
A person must have a conscience, just as Nan Yan cannot deny that Qin Lu and Old Madam Qin’s love for her.
She remembers it all.
Shen Junqing raised the corner of his mouth, a bit smug, and teasingly raised his eyebrows at Qin Lu. “Did you hear that? Yanyan still likes me a lot.”
Qin Lu: “… Childish.”
Nan Yan glanced silently at the two of them, deciding not to bother with them anymore.
Let them continue their banter.
Not long after, the food was served. Nan Yan took care of Old Madam Qin, peeling shrimps for her and picking out the dishes that were out of her reach.
Qin Lu leisurely glanced over and Old Madam Qin remembered their agreement about her and her grandson. She quickly said, “Yanyan, you should eat too.
Don’t just take care of Grandma, Grandma can manage on her own.”
Nan Yan smiled and said, “It’s alright, no rush. I’m eating too.”
“No, no. Grandma can handle it herself. You, on the other hand, are still growing. You should eat a bit more and make yourself a bit plump.”
“Don’t pursue being thin blindly. Being as thin as a stick is not as beautiful as being round and radiant. Don’t you dare follow those people who try to lose weight, understand?”
Old Madam Qin looked at Nan Yan’s slim arms and legs and worried. It may look good, but a gust of wind could blow her away. Being too thin can easily affect her health.
She’s counting on Nan Yan to give her two great-grandsons and great-granddaughters in the future, so she cares a lot about her health. “Not at all,” Nan Yan hooked her lips and smiled lightly, “I eat a lot, no dieting.”
On the contrary, she was eager to gain weight.
With this small frame, she’ll be at a disadvantage in a fight in the future.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Old Madam Qin watched as Nan Yan continued to peel shrimp for her, so she decided to join in and put a small mountain of food on Nan Yan’s plate.
Nan Yan looked at the food in front of her and said softly, “Grandma, even if I’m a pig, I can’t eat this much…”
Old Madam Qin smiled and said, “It’s okay, eat as much as you can, just don’t overeat.”
After finishing the meal, Shen Junqing looked at Nan Yan, asking if she still wanted to go.
Nan Yan nodded slightly. No one can stop her from earning money.
“Grandma, Third Brother and I have something to do, so we won’t stay much longer. You just finished eating, let Brother accompany you for a walk to aid digestion.”
Old Madam Qin felt reluctant, but since Nan Yan had spoken, she could only nod, “Alright, you go ahead and do your business. Remember to come and visit
Grandma when you have time.”
“Okay.” Nan Yan smiled and replied earnestly.
After discussing with Old Madam Qin, Nan Yan obediently said to Qin Lu, “Brother, goodbye.”
Qin Lu’s dark pupils flickered with emotions, somewhat uncertain. After a while, he finally spoke in a low voice, “Go, but don’t come back too late.”
The little one was a troublemaker.
And a habitual little liar.
Even if she agrees with him on the surface, she’ll secretly do what she wants to do later.
Unmanageable…
Nan Yan nodded understandingly and followed Shen Junqing into his car. Fastening her seatbelt, Nan Yan relaxed and leaned back in her seat.
Shen Junqing clicked his tongue. “Sis, are you and Qin Lu engaged?”
Seeing how much Old Madam Qin liked Nan Yan, even if Nan Yan had no background, she couldn’t wait for Qin Lu to marry her as soon as possible.
Nan Yan suddenly paused, her eyes slightly lowered with her long curled lashes trembling slightly. She said softly, “It’s still too early.”
She didn’t explain to Shen Junqing that she and Qin Lu didn’t really have anything between them.
Such personal matters didn’t need to be explained to outsiders.
Moreover, she and Qin Lu are currently rumored to be in a romantic relationship, so there’s nothing to deny.
Shen Junqing raised an eyebrow, mischief shining in his bewitching eyes.
Could it be that Qin Lu is really that unconventional?
There were so many noble and wealthy young ladies but he wasn’t attracted to any. He only happens to be attracted to a high school student…
Isn’t his mind a little perverted..
“Ah Lu, Yanyan is at an age where she loves to have fun and likes excitement. Your personality is too boring, and you always have a stern face. You appear too serious, which easily gives people a sense of oppression.”
“You should pamper her more, be tolerant, let go of your status, and adapt to her preferences, understand?”
Old Madam Qin was extremely concerned about her eldest grandson quickly securing her granddaughter-in-law. She wanted to teach him step-by-step.
Especially when Shen Junqing suddenly appeared, it made her feel that she had to give him some pointers.
She couldn’t help but worry. If Yanyan were to be taken away by another man, she would have no granddaughter-in-law!
“Ah Lu, Grandma is talking to you. Are you listening?”
“Yes.” Qin Lu responded faintly, then he gently supported Old Madam Qin’s shoulder and asked warmly, “Grandma, shall we go back?”
Old Madam Qin felt that her mood had changed as soon as she was separated from Nan Yan. She sighed and said helplessly, “Let’s go back then.”
On the other side, Shen Junqing brought Nan Yan to the casino where they first met.
“Is this what Third Brother was talking about when he mentioned earning money?”
“Tonight, a gambling king from overseas is coming to challenge the casino, boasting arrogantly that he will defeat everyone. He’s quite audacious.”
Shen Junqing glanced at the cap on the girl’s head and shifted his gaze. He placed his hand on her shoulder and asked with a smile, “Are you interested, little sister?”
“Anyone can participate?”
“Yes, even the casino owner has spared no expense. If you can win against this gambling king, in addition to the money you win, you’ll also receive an extra 50 million bonus.”
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes lit up. “Okay, I’ll join.”
According to the casino owner’s suggestion, it would be best if she could walk away tonight with several billion.
Another step closer to her laboratory!
Shen Junqing was surprised by her reaction. “Sis, don’t tell me you know how to gamble!”
His intention was for him to participate and have her be his lucky charm, so they could split the winnings fifty-fifty.
After all, Nan Yan had mentioned before that she was in need of money, and he quite liked this little sister of his, so he wanted to help her.
But…
“I have this skill of making quick money too.” Nan Yan said softly, “When I needed money before, I would go to the casino and make a fortune. To avoid being pursued by the casino owners, every time I entered the casino, I would change my appearance.”
Back when Xi Shijin didn’t have such high fame, they were in desperate need of money.
Everyone in the lab knew that the experimental equipment was exorbitantly expensive. It was like machines designed to burn money.
To sustain the lab, she had to find ways to earn money.
She had the ability, but she wouldn’t resort to illegal activities with her skills. She could only engage in some grey areas, projects that made money quickly.
Like car racing, boxing, gambling…
These were projects that operated in the grey areas and were allowed. They were the places she liked to go.
After all, one visit would bring in a large sum of money, enough to cover the lab’s expenses for a period of time….
