The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 960 - 929: The Charming Man is Poison
Chapter 960: Chapter 929: The Charming Man is Poison
Tang Qian’s eyes lit up when he heard it. With this hundred thousand yuan, he could do something good.
"For a nationwide charity, your hundred thousand isn’t much," Tang Qian said, "but if it’s for the Yanjing area, I guarantee we can do it really well."
"Let’s forget about nationwide for now. Fuxi Automobile is just starting, and the profits aren’t that substantial. Let’s do something for Yanjing this year," He Tiantian said. "If I earn more tomorrow, I’ll donate more money to charity."
"That’s great, ’reach out to others as your means allow’," Tang Qian said with a smile. "Alright, I’ll also put in twenty thousand, so we can pool our money for charity."
"Hehe, since you’re both contributing, it wouldn’t be good for me to not participate after hearing this. I’ll also chip in twenty thousand," Qi Zhengmin said. "Let’s make the donation in the name of Yanjing Fuxi Automobile Dealership. It’s the individual dealerships that are doing this, not the main factory. That way, I have an explanation for the other dealerships."
"You don’t have to chip in," Tang Qian said. "One hundred and twenty thousand is already a lot."
"There’s never too much charity," Qi Zhengmin said with a laugh. "Once Fuxi Automobile stabilizes, I’ll gradually start to make charitable donations in the name of the main factory. We’re earning money from the wealthy and helping those in need."
Tang Qian listened and, looking at Qi Zhengmin’s charming smile, was momentarily lost in thought.
"Ahem!" He Tiantian coughed twice to remind Tang Qian to keep it cool. He was so brazen in front of her, wouldn’t he be even more unrestrained outside!
"Hehe!" Tang Qian smiled sheepishly and turned his head away.
"Tang Qian, that’s settled then. I’ll send you the money tomorrow. Winter is coming soon, so send clothes and things to the orphanage, not just money. If we give money, we won’t know how much of this one hundred and twenty thousand will actually be spent on the children," He Tiantian instructed, to prevent him from taking the easy route and just giving money.
Tang Qian smiled and said, "I got it, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, you two chat. I have to go back first, I have other things to do."
If it were someone else, He Tiantian would have insisted that Tang Qian stay for dinner, but she had things to discuss with Qi Zhengmin and didn’t want to keep him.
"Alright, goodbye." Qi Zhengmin smiled warmly and waved goodbye to Tang Qian.
"Do you need me to pick you up later?" Tang Qian asked as he walked out, as if he had remembered something important, hastily turning around to ask.
He Tiantian glared and said, "I will take her home."
"Hehe, okay then." Tang Qian laughed awkwardly. "I’m off then, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow," Qi Zhengmin said with a smile, watching Tang Qian leave.
Tang Qian looked at Qi Zhengmin with affection, while Qi Zhengmin looked at Tang Qian with admiration.
It’s all over!
All over!
She had been pregnant and given birth, with no time and no chance to pay attention to Qi Zhengmin, and that had allowed Tang Qian to sneak in.
Sensing He Tiantian’s frustration, Qi Zhengmin chuckled, looped her arm through He Tiantian’s, and said, "Sister Tiantian, I know you’re looking out for me."
"If you know I’m looking out for you, why don’t you keep your distance?" He Tiantian accused. "A man prone to romance is like poison passing through the guts, you can’t just take a sip to see if it’s really poisonous!"
"Sister Tiantian, actually, things might not be as serious as you think," Qi Zhengmin whispered. "I’ve discovered that he is a rather witty and smart man!"
It’s over!
This is the rhythm of falling into a trap!
"It’s precisely because of that, he’s able to deceive women," He Tiantian said. "The women he attracts definitely aren’t just interested in his money, but also his looks and intelligence. Do you know how many women he’s had before?"
"He... he’s told me about it," Qi Zhengmin said, somewhat reluctant to meet He Tiantian’s gaze.
"And you’re still seeing him?" He Tiantian countered. "Aren’t you afraid he’ll hurt you in the future? Could he be pretending to have turned over a new leaf just to chase you?"
"After his divorce, he stopped messing around," Qi Zhengmin said. "He started changing before he met me. Sister Tiantian, I know you’re concerned about me. I’m interested in him now because I find him to be a fascinating man. If he can bring me joy or the sweetness of love, I’m willing to be with him. If we’re not happy together or there’s no chemistry, then I’ll let go and we can just be friends."
Upon hearing Qi Zhengmin’s explanation, He Tiantian knew that anything she said would be useless.
After all, Qi Zhengmin was now an adult with her own way of thinking and set of principles, influenced by some Western concepts of love.
He Tiantian couldn’t agree, but she could understand.
"Alright, I respect your decision," He Tiantian said. "But you must promise me that even if love and men disappear from your life, you still have your family and me, your sister. My shoulder is always here for you to lean on. If you lose your way because of a man, I’ll never forgive you."
Hearing He Tiantian’s words, Qi Zhengmin smiled and hugged her tightly, saying, "Thank you, Sister. Life is short; I’ll cherish the good times. Men and love are just parts of my life, not the whole. Family, friends, delicious food, beautiful scenery, elegant clothing, and jewelry are also what I love."
The two sisters were chatting and laughing when Huo Yingjie came home from work.
Seeing their joy, Huo Yingjie asked, "What’s so funny?"
"Nothing much, just discussing how to reduce the harm that love and marriage can bring," He Tiantian said with a smile, recalling some of the absurd examples she’d used to make Qi Zhengmin laugh.
After casting a glance at Qi Zhengmin’s face, Huo Yingjie chuckled and said, "Is it about Tang Qian?"
Qi Zhengmin blushed slightly upon hearing this, but being her usual outgoing self, she asked, "Brother-in-law, how did you know?"
"Haha, it’s all in the eyes," Huo Yingjie laughed. "Actually, dealing with someone like Tang Qian who has a history is very simple."
"What’s the method?" He Tiantian was even more interested than Qi Zhengmin. "Tell us, tell us!"
"Learn from me. I’m devoted to my wife, and I’m willing to put all my assets in her name," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. From Tang Qian’s face, it seems that the Peach Blossom Evil is gone; probably the Tang family found someone to take care of it for him.
But Huo Yingjie didn’t want Tang Qian to win the beauty so easily, especially since he had wronged He Tiantian in the past!
When He Tiantian heard this, her eyes lit up. "That’s a great idea! Tang Qian values his career, and if he loves you enough, he’d do that. Also, if there are children in the future and things don’t work out, the children should definitely not go to the one at fault."
Listening to their conversation, Qi Zhengmin was torn between laughter and tears. "Oh my, do I have to consider all these things before even starting anything with Tang Qian?"
It seemed neither her sister nor brother-in-law had much hope for this budding relationship.
With this in mind, she had to be even more cautious.
