"What's with that expression… we're rich, you should be happy!" Tang Jiaojiao coaxed for a long time, before finally squeezing out this sentence with a sigh.
Su He pouted, finally accepting this reality.
Yes, she *should* be happy!
At least she didn't have to worry about her adoptive parents' retirement funds anymore!
Su He comforted herself, then suddenly asked, "Besides this place, how many other properties do we own?"
"I'm not very clear on the specifics, you'd have to ask Old Su. Anyway, we won't have to worry about a place to live for this life, or even the next!" Tang Jiaojiao started counting on her fingers, then gave up.
Su He was speechless, her eyes wide open.
Just how many houses did their family have!
"Su Su, what's the matter that brought you here today?" Tang Jiaojiao finally got to the point after answering her question.
Su He listlessly took out a card from her bag and handed it to her. "I'm here to return money!"
"Return what money?" Tang Jiaojiao didn't react for a moment.
"The two million you used for investing in the TV drama," Su He said.
"Is it not enough? We only had that much cash at the time, so we just took it. If you think it's too little, I can ask your father to add another ten million, how about that?" Tang Jiaojiao pushed the card back.
Su He: ...
If it were in the past, she would have definitely thought her adoptive mother was dreaming.
"No," Su He explained. "Even if the crew is short on funds, they can't just take your money!"
"With our relationship, why distinguish between yours and mine? What's given away, I can't get back," Tang Jiaojiao raised her chin proudly. "To be honest, this little bit of money is nothing. I could easily buy a set of jewelry that costs more than this."
Su He: ...
What an arrogant and wealthy lady!
Su He finally understood where Tang Jiaojiao's confidence came from when she dominated the business world.
"Consider the two million as your spending money," Tang Jiaojiao said with a beaming smile. "Women, you can't mistreat yourselves! When you have nothing to do, remember to spend more on skincare. You're so young, and you already have dark circles under your eyes…"
Su He didn't know how to respond.
By the time she left the villa, it was already afternoon. Su He looked at the pink sports car parked in the courtyard and couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
This was definitely Tang Jiaojiao's ride, no doubt about it!
She loved the color pink the most.
Compared to her sports car, her own car was truly nothing to look at.
That night, lying in bed, Su He still felt a bit dazed. So, she took out her phone to complain to Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth on the other end of the line. "Meow Meow, are you intentionally making people jealous, do you know? You found a super handsome and super rich husband, and your adoptive parents and siblings are all rich people, it's enough to make anyone green with envy!"
"I'm not showing off, I just… feel like it's not real!" Su He replied lazily, lying on her pillow. Suddenly going from being broke to a wealthy young lady would make anyone dizzy.
"You're not used to suddenly becoming rich? It's okay, I have strong adaptability! Ask your adoptive mother if they need another goddaughter? I'm willing!" Jiang Xiaoxiao joked.
Su He chuckled, "A goddaughter, forget it. A daughter-in-law would be more like it!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao blushed at the teasing. "What nonsense are you talking about, who… nothing of the sort!"
"It's not happening now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future! I think, you two definitely have a chance." Su He's intuition was always accurate.
She could vaguely sense Su Chen's feelings for her. However, she had always treated him as a brother and didn't want to ruin their years of sibling affection, so she had pretended to be oblivious.
Similarly, the last time in Nancheng, she had sensed the subtle feelings between him and Jiang Xiaoxiao. Although it wasn't very obvious, she trusted her intuition.
"Xiaoxiao, feelings can be cultivated. Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side! Keep it up! Strive to capture that ice block soon, I'm waiting for you to become my sister-in-law!"
Hearing the title "sister-in-law," Jiang Xiaoxiao's face turned fiery red. "You, don't talk nonsense…"
After saying that, she quickly glanced behind her.
Huh? Something's going on!
Su He looked at her with a half-smile.
"It's getting late, I, I need to sleep, bye!" Jiang Xiaoxiao hung up the video call before Su He could say anything shocking.
Su He couldn't help but giggle at her attempt to hide something obvious.
Lu Yanbei came out of the bathroom, drying his hair. Seeing his little wife laughing heartily, his mood also brightened considerably. "What's so funny?"
Su He stood up, hooked her arms around his neck, and whispered conspiratorially, "My brother and my best friend are living together!"
"How do you know?" Lu Yanbei followed her lead.
"I was video chatting with Xiaoxiao just now, and she secretly looked back. If there was no one else in the room, why would she have that panicked expression? And she hung up the phone, she must be guilty!"
Lu Yanbei knew that Su Chen had always had eyes for his beloved, and he wished she would fall for someone else soon. "Your brother might not fall in love that easily."
"You can't say for sure about matters of the heart! Love grows over time, understand?" Su He smiled, using a towel to gently wipe the water droplets from his hair. She was wearing a thin nightgown, her delicate body leaning against his chest, looking exceptionally alluring.
Lu Yanbei embraced her slender waist, his gaze deepening.
By the time Su He realized the danger, she was already lying on the soft bed.
"Lu Yanbei, my waist is still sore…" she whimpered, hugging his neck.
"I'm the one who's tired, you just lie there," Lu Yanbei leaned down and sealed her chattering lips.
After that, Su He was completely lost in the intense sensations he brought, leaving her no time to think about anything else.
The room was filled with passion, and she had a good night's sleep.
The next day was the weekend, and the couple slept in until the sun was high in the sky.
"Good morning." Su He woke up in Lu Yanbei's arms and habitually leaned over to kiss his chin.
Lu Yanbei grunted and pulled her into his embrace. "Morning, Mrs. Lu."
Hearing his deep, sexy voice, Su He felt incredibly content.
After lying in his arms for a while, Su He suddenly remembered something. "Grandpa called yesterday, asking about the wedding. What are your plans?"
Last year, she hadn't recovered her memory, and getting her marriage license with him was a rushed affair. The wedding was also forced to be canceled due to her injury. Now that she had regained her lost memories, and Lu Yanbei had proposed to her in front of witnesses, their love was deepening, and the wedding was naturally back on the agenda.
"What kind of wedding do you want?" Lu Yanbei asked in a husky voice.
Su He pondered for a moment and said, "I don't want it to be too troublesome! A simple ceremony would be fine."
"That might be a bit difficult," Lu Yanbei rubbed his temples. He, Lu Yanbei, was the future heir of the Lu family. No matter how low-key his wedding was, it couldn't be too casual.
Even if he wanted it to be, the old man would never allow it.
