3 Chapter 3 Sell Me and Still Expect Me to Help You Pay Back_1

Su Qiqi left the JT Building, somewhat angrily, and then made a phone call to her brother to bring her the household registration document.

When Su Xingchen handed the household registration document over to Su Qiqi, he proudly said, "I told you that you would be satisfied with the person I introduced to you."

Su Qiqi ignored her brother and went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau by car.

Seeing those pairs of newlyweds with happy smiles, Su Qiqi once fantasized about walking into the marriage hall with the person she loved, happily holding a small red booklet.

That would forever remain a fantasy now.

As soon as Jin Muchen got out of the car, he saw Su Qiqi standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

She was looking forward with expectant eyes.

The sunshine shone on her, and her long hair fluttered in the wind, creating a halo of golden light.

At that moment, she suddenly looked at a newlywed couple and smiled with envy. Her dimpled smile was extremely charming.

Jin Muchen had just received a document about Su Qiqi's personal information on his phone.

Since they were going to have a flash marriage, it was impossible for him to let someone whose background he didn't know to marry into the Jin family.

The Su family were honest people. Su Qiqi's parents were alive and well, and she had a married brother who had opened a clothing store in the city center. However, the old-fashioned clothes in the store were already passe, considered rejects in the market.

If it wasn't for Su Qiqi's unique designs, the store would have closed down long ago considering Su Xingchen's way of doing things.

It was clear that Su Qiqi's family were leeching off of her, which was perhaps why she suggested moving into his place immediately.

The reason why Su Qiqi was still a junior designer in a company was because she went against some "rules" in the industry and has been continually suppressed.

And her boss was a ruthless man, so the pure Su Qiqi was constantly exploited.

"Have you been waiting long?" Jin Muchen suddenly asked with a hint of sympathy, looking at the absent-minded Su Qiqi.

"No." Su Qiqi snapped out of her thoughts and gave a slight smile.

Soon, the two of them each held a small red booklet and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. They were the last couple.

Ding-a-ling!

At this moment, Su Qiqi's phone rang.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"What?"

Suddenly, a look of shock crossed Su Qiqi's face as she looked over at Jin Muchen. It seemed something shocking had been said on the phone.

Jin Muchen smirked. He guessed that Su Qiqi had just been told that she had mistaken the person.

Because, on his way home to get the household registration document, he had received a call from his intended blind date, which was how he knew of the mix-up.

"I'm really sorry, I've... I've already gotten married..."

Before Su Qiqi could finish her sentence, the call was hung up, the other person swearing at her.

She pursed her lips, feeling a sense of relief, barely daring to imagine what life with the man on the phone would have been like.

After hanging up the phone, Su Qiqi looked up at Jin Muchen somewhat awkwardly.

"Mr. Jin, I think I may have made a mistake. You are not the person I was supposed to meet. If you think this is inappropriate, I am totally okay with getting a divorce."

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed for the day." Jin Muchen looked at the woman in front of him, who was increasingly anxious and embarrassed. He couldn't help but laugh.

"But, but..." Su Qiqi started to panic.

"I also found out about the confusion before I came, but I still came."

The meaning in Jin Muchen's words was clear: even though he found out about the mix-up, he still rejected the intended blind date and chose Su Qiqi.

Su Qiqi was stunned for a moment, a strange feeling flickered in her heart.

In the end, she seemed to let go, reaching out her small hand and smiling, "Then Mr. Jin, please do guide me in our years to come."

"Let's guide each other." Jin Muchen took Su Qiqi's small hand and lightly smiled.

"Mr. Jin, shall we add each other on WeChat? You can send me your address, and I will collect my things and move in immediately. Is that okay?"

"No problem."

The two added each other on WeChat, then Jin Muchen offered to drive Su Qiqi home. However, she said it wasn't necessary as she lived nearby.

Afterward, the two parted ways once again.

...

When Su Qiqi returned home, her family was sitting in the living room with stern expressions.

It was as though they were holding a court session from the ancient times.

"Su Qiqi, what have you done? We had agreed that you would meet with them, why didn't you go?" Su Xingchen immediately scolded Su Qiqi upon her return.

"That's right, your good effort went unappreciated! Your brother had managed to find a solo business partner who is wealthy. But no, you had to be ungrateful and stood them up. Now they have canceled our cooperation. How do you want to handle this?" Lin Hui didn't hide her true feelings either and directly expressed her thoughts.

Chen Shujuan was also sitting on the sofa with a dark face, gloomy.

Clearly, upon her return, Su Qiqi had become an extra person.

Returning to her room, Su Qiqi quickly packed her clothes and necessities, and then left the living room with her luggage.

"I've gotten married. From now on, you all don't have to worry about my matters. Moreover, I'm moving out now, so you don't have to find ways to kick me out anymore."

With calmness, Su Qiqi announced the fact that she had registered for marriage.

This news undoubtedly set off the four people present.

The most agitated was Chen Shujuan. She stood up and pointed at Su Qiqi, shouting angrily, "What did you say? Say that again?"

Su Qiqi pulled out her little red book and answered, "Mom, I told you I'm already married. My brother gave me the household registration document."

Chen Shujuan looked at Su Xingchen in surprise.

"I thought he went to get the marriage certificate with President Jin." Su Xingchen didn't deny it.

Everyone was wide-eyed and stunned.

Seeing this, Su Qiqi smirked slightly, "I'll come back to get the rest of my luggage when I'm free."

"Su Qiqi, stop right there!" Just as Su Qiqi was dragging her suitcase towards the door, Lin Hui suddenly stood up and walked in front of her, her eyes sparking with anger.

"Just saying you're married and that's it? Your brother and I have been working hard for your happiness, and in the end, not only did you make your brother owe someone fifty thousand yuan, but you also ruined a partnership. And now, you just want to walk away?"

Su Qiqi's face changes instantly at her words.

It then dawned on Lin Hui that she had misspoken, and she quickly covered her mouth.

"What's this about fifty thousand yuan?" Su Qiqi asked icily.

Knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, Su Xingchen admitted, "I accepted President Jin's fifty thousand yuan and agreed to let you meet her for a blind date."

"So without my knowledge, you sold me out?"

Su Qiqi suppressed her anger, her fists tightly clenched.

She had initially thought that Su Xingchen had only received a red packet, but to her surprise, the packet came with a whopping fifty thousand yuan.

"I did it for your own good." Su Xingchen insisted, a smug expression on his face.

"You've crossed the line!" Su Qiqi was utterly furious.

She turned to her silent parents.

"Mom, Dad, I'm asking you, did you know he was scheming against me this way?"

Chen Shujuan and Su Tiancheng were silent and didn't answer.

Su Qiqi felt a pang of sadness, her feelings of disappointment filling her heart.

"Fine, very well. I've just realized, I've always been the outsider in this family."

"Stop!"

"Su Qiqi, you can't leave like this. What about the fifty thousand yuan?" Lin Hui stopped Su Qiqi.

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Your brother took the fifty thousand yuan for your sake. How can you say it has nothing to do with you?"

Su Qiqi now understood the true meaning of shamelessness.

She sneered, "Are you kidding me? You sold me out and now you want me to help you pay back the money?"

"I..." Lin Hui stammered, and quickly kicked Su Xingchen.

Su Xingchen also looked furious, "What are you talking about? I took it for your sake."

"Can you be any more shameless?" Su Qiqi roared.

She couldn't put into words how she felt. She had never thought her own family would do something like this for money.

She was utterly disappointed.

She looked back at Lin Hui, her eyes filled with anger.

This family, they were all vampires!

She stepped out of the house, quickening her pace.

She feared that if she didn't leave now, she would be drained to the bone.

"Hey, you can't leave..."

"Enough!"

Lin Hui wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Su Qiqi's usually quiet father.

Su Tiancheng pointed at Su Xingchen and his wife, too angry to speak. He finally huffed in disappointment and retreated to his room.

Seeing this, Su Xingchen turned involuntarily to Chen Shujuan for help.

"Mom, about the fifty thousand yuan..."

"Where did it go?"

"I bought cosmetics, and the rest I used to pay for your grandson's tuition." Lin Hui said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing money was spent on her grandson, Chen Shujuan quickly comforted, "It's fine, didn't she say she got married? We can discuss the dowry."

"Don't forget to get the property certificate back too." Lin Hui added.

...

It should have been summer in Dragon City, but at that moment, Su Qiqi felt a deep chill of loneliness.

She dragged her luggage to the address Jin Muchen had sent her on WeChat.

The sight of the two-story detached villa left her flabbergasted.

"Do salespeople make this much money?"

This was high-end residential area with detached villas.

Although it didn't look big, including the yard, it was about two hundred square meters, but in the land-starved Dragon City, it must be worth tens of millions at the very least.

Could she have gotten the address wrong?
