How Can I Make A Quick Buck?

編集者: Larbre Studio

As Luo Yingdong looked into Su Bei's eyes that seemed to be toying with him, he said, "You should be asking your brother about it. Why ask me?"

Su Bei heavily shuddered, and the pain was reflected in her eyes. "You'd better explain yourself this instant!"

Could it really be my own brother?

Luo Yingdong suddenly leaned forward and smiled at her wickedly. "If I told you about it, how are you going to thank me? Hm?"

Su Bei stood up. "You're the worst man I've ever met."

Luo Yingdong's expression changed from mocking to threatening. "Stand right there!"

He reached out his hand and grabbed hers, his tone growing stern.

"Release her!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Mosheng!" Su Bei looked at Qin Mosheng who had returned after he left with a surprised look on her face.

Luo Yingdong turned around and faced Qin Mosheng's steely expression, and he smiled. "Of course, it's Editor-in-chief Qin. Who were you talking about just now?"

Qin Mosheng had already walked to Su Bei at that point. His hand was grabbing Luo Yingdong's hand which was grasping Su Bei's hand forcefully.

Luo Yingdong felt pain and was forced to let go of her hand. He looked at Qin Mosheng with disgust. "Editor-in-chief Qin, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Mosheng spoke with a cold voice. "I, too, want to know what you are trying to do. If the headlines for the entertainment section tomorrow is about Young Master Luo harassing innocent females in public, I'm guessing someone wouldn't be too happy about that!"

Luo Yingdong's face turned green at that moment, his eyes looking at Qin Mosheng sharply and his voice not as calm as before. "Qin Mosheng, who is she to you for you to be able to piss off the entire Luo family?"

Su Bei had been around Qin Mosheng for three years, and she had never seen Qin Mosheng so fierce.

In her eyes, he was an elegant, well-groomed gentleman.

However, at that moment he looked cold and ruthless. His eyes averted towards Luo Yingdong in front of him, then landed on the woman beside him.

His voice was soft but firm. "Su Bei is mine!"

That sentence not only shocked Luo Yingdong, but even Su Bei was also taken aback by what he said.

She knew that he prioritized her well-being, but she still felt some unease.

That was because Su Bei knew that the thing he said was true to his heart!

Luo Yingdong started laughing with a tense face. "Alright, alright, I'll keep that in mind. Editor-in-chief, you'd better take care of your people!"

As he finished, he gritted his teeth and walked away.

Just like that, the two of them were left alone.

Su Bei took her bag and prepared to leave Qin Mosheng. "Mosheng, I have to thank you for what happened earlier. However, you don't have to worry, as he won't be doing anything to me!"

She did not want him to be worried.

Qin Mosheng stared at Luo Yingdong's figure as he left, and the two corners of his lips went up. "He would not dare to lay a finger on you as long as I'm here!"

"Mosheng…"

"You want to go back? I'll get you home!"

Qin Mosheng stopped her just as she was about to say something.

Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Fine, since he doesn't want to listen, then I'll not mention it to him.

"It's alright. I'll drive myself."

Qin Mosheng had already grabbed her coat and put it on her. "If you're still my friend, then don't reject me!"

She swallowed any words to reject what she planned to say.

In the afternoon, a phone call absolutely devastated Su Bei.

She quickly got into her car and left, worrying about it the entire journey.

Finally, she reached the sales office of Jingsheng Global.

"How could this be? How was it sold to someone else when we promised to carry out the transaction tomorrow?" Su Bei walked in and saw Chen Yanan angrily arguing with a salesperson.

"Yanan, what happened?"

Chen Yanan looked at Su Bei with guilt on her face. "Beibei, I'm really sorry that I did not explain the situation clearly to you. The special offer house that we had a deal with was sold to someone else."

Su Bei immediately panicked and grabbed the saleswoman. "Madam, we agreed that I could pay the dues a few days late, and it would be reserved for me for the time being. How could it be sold to someone else just like that?"

The saleswoman was in a pinch. "Madam Su. it's not that we don't want to leave it for you. I knew Sister Yanan for quite some time and I would definitely want to help reserve the house for you. However, this is a customer who was introduced by the manager himself, and we could not do anything about it."

"Then I'll get the money ready by tonight, if that's possible?" Su Bei asked desperately.

She shook her head again. "The person has already made a loan. It's impossible."

Su Bei crumbled upon hearing what she said.

This house on special offer was made possible due to Yanan. If this was lost, how could I face Mom?

Chen Yanan asked, "Sister, do we still have any more special offer houses?" 

"No."

"Please try to think of another way!"

"Sister Yanan, I really don't see any other way."

Su Bei breathed in deeply. "Yanan, stop harassing her. Come out with me to drink!"

Chen Yanan brought Su Bei to the Laiyin River. The surroundings were quiet, and Su Bei was even quieter.

Suddenly, Su Bei looked at her. "Yanan, how can I make a quick buck?" she asked.
