Stepped Over Her Vicious Stepsister To Become The True Bigshot! Chapter 98

98 I Don’t Believe You

It was already three in the morning. As soon as the surroundings quietened down, Gu Man felt sleepy and slowly closed her eyes.

Seeing that Gu Man had fallen asleep, Xiang Yin’s heart ached and he felt helpless. He slowed down and the fast Bentley felt like an old car.

The sleeping Gu Man gave off a completely different feeling. She was no longer as cold and arrogant as when she woke up. Now, she was only sweet and obedient.

He even played gentle piano music in the car to cover the sound of the traveling car.

The journey that should have taken half an hour took an hour this time.

When the car stopped outside the Gu residence, Gu Man was still asleep.

Xiang Yin thought for a moment and leaned over to wake Gu Man up. “Gu Man…”

Gu Man opened her eyes when she heard the call and met Xiang Yin’s deep eyes.

Gu Man turned her head slightly and looked away. She actually fell asleep?

“Go back quickly. You can sleep more comfortably on the bed.” Xiang Yin had already sat up straight.

“Alright, thank you,” Gu Man said as she unbuckled her seatbelt.

Thinking of Gu Man climbing over the wall like a wild cat, Xiang Yin asked with a smile, “You’re climbing over the wall still?”

“Mm.”

Gu Man opened the door and got out of the car.

Xiang Yin watched as Gu Man left. He only started the car and left when the lights in Gu Man’s room lit up.

When Xiang Yin returned home, Bai Yun and Cui Lin were sitting on the sofa drinking red wine, looking extremely carefree.

Xiang Yin threw his car keys on the table and sat down on the sofa. He even stretched his body and asked Cui Lin, “You’re finally willing to come out of the mountains?”

“I haven’t asked you yet. Are you finally willing to leave the beauty and come back?” Cui Lin helped Xiang Yin pour a gla.s.s of red wine.

“You found something?” Xiang Yin asked again.

Cui Lin sat down and crossed his legs. He said disdainfully, “Of course. How can I get nothing if I take action?”

“Oh, you actually found your ideal female companion?” Xiang Yin teased.

Cui Lin was speechless.

Weren’t they asking him about finding the herbs?

“Cut it out. The reason why I went out this time is because you free-loaded two of my Miracle Rejuvenation Pills last time. You’ve emptied the inventory. Look, I’m going to start brewing again,” Cui Lin said.

“Here!” Xiang Yin put down the wine gla.s.s and threw something to Cui Lin.

Cui Lin took it and looked at it. It was actually a check. When he saw the signature on the cheque, his eyes widened. “My uncle gave it to you?”

“Bai Yun also has one,” Xiang Yin said calmly.

Cui Lin looked at Bai Yun and saw him nod. He immediately went crazy. “My uncle gave it to you?”

“That’s right. He gave it to us because we’re good-looking and reliable.” Bai Yun continued.

Cui Lin had an expression that said, “I don’t believe you.”

Outsiders might not know, but everyone in the Cui family knew that although Old Master Cui was extremely rich, he was also very stingy.

He sometimes even suspected that the Cui family’s wealth was saved up by being “scrupulous”.

It was no wonder that Cui Lin had such an idea. Usually, when he needed money, other than the fixed monthly living expenses from his family, if there were other project expenses, he would need to list the reasons, process, and expected results for this project. Only after doing this could he get a batch of funds.

Now that the two of them had easily obtained ten million yuan, Cui Lin could not accept it.

“But what happened?” Cui Lin put away the surprised expression on his face and asked seriously.

Bai Yun roughly explained the process. Cui Lin nodded helplessly. “For Old Master to make this move, it’s probably because he has no other way. I’ve been treating Ah Mai these few years, but it’s useless.”

After a while, Cui Lin seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked, “How is Gu Man after she ate those two pills?”

“It’s alright,” Xiang Yin replied. Gu Man’s face was indeed rosier than before.

“She’s still so bold to actually dare to go to the ghost market,” Cui Lin said with a smile. He still remembered Bai Yun saying how brave she was when she jumped into the water to save someone.

“With us around, what’s there to be afraid of?” Xiang Yin rolled his eyes at Cui Lin.

He hasn’t even said that Gu Man dared to go to the ghost market alone the last time.
