Chapter 370 Falling into the Trap Easily
"Mingyu, you actually have better choices!"
Yan Zonghui also deeply looked at Yan Mingyu and said, "It doesn't matter if it's East Sea or the provincial city, there are plenty of talented young men around. You could just marry into any family, and the one billion in funding would be solved!"
"Heh, so what you're saying is, you want me to sell myself for glory?"
Yan Mingyu laughed angrily in response.
She knew her relatives were all about self-interest but hadn't expected them to become so increasingly outrageous.
"Alright then, I'll figure out a way to cover the one billion in funding!"
Qin Yu, ridiculed by a crowd for being a freeloader, was also angry, but since they were Mingyu's relatives, he didn't want to lose his temper.
The only way to shut their mouths was to help the company get through this crisis.
"Oh, brother-in-law, as a bodyguard, you don't have a concept of money, do you? Do you know how much one billion is? You probably haven't even seen ten million before, have you?"
"Yeah, weren't you a delivery guy before you joined Four Seas Corporation? A loser with a three thousand monthly salary talking about solving a one billion funding deficit almost made me pee myself laughing!"
"If you really want to help Mingyu, be sensible and get a divorce. There's a line of rich guys waiting to marry her!"
Qin Yu's words provoked even stronger reactions from those present.
"Qin Yu..."
Yan Mingyu gently tugged at the hem of Qin Yu's clothes, feeling that what he had said was a bit too much.
They needed one billion in cash right now, not just wealth on paper.
Even at its peak, Four Seas Corporation didn't have more than ten billion in cash on its accounts. Even among other big bosses in East Sea, not many could come up with one billion in cash.
"Honey, they're actually right. If you're in trouble and I can't help at all, I'm not worthy to be your husband. Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to get that one billion!"
Qin Yu held Yan Mingyu's soft and delicate hand, gently patting it.
"Qin Yu, what if you can't come up with one billion in cash?"
Yan Zonghui stared at Qin Yu intently and asked.
Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
"If I can't manage it, then... I'll leave Four Seas Corporation, leave Mingyu. Are you satisfied?"
Qin Yu met Yan Zonghui's grim gaze and defiantly asked in return.
"Heh, it's a deal!"
Yan Zonghui coldly nodded with a chuckle.
"Qin Yu, you..."
Yan Mingyu was a bit angry, thinking how could this fool so easily fall for her uncle's scheme?
He just wanted them to divorce so that she could remarry someone else, thereby weakening her control over the company in favor of him taking over.
"Honey, I won't disappoint you!"
Qin Yu turned his head and said to Yan Mingyu with a resolute expression.
He had been in contact with the dark web before, where difficult tasks with hellish difficulty were often rewarded substantially if completed.
Qin Yu planned to take on one or two tasks, earn the commission, and help Yan Mingyu through her difficulties.
"Sigh..."
Yan Mingyu sighed softly and didn't say much else.
"It's getting late, let's go to the backyard for dinner!"
Yan Zonghui had achieved his goal and didn't make things difficult for Qin Yu anymore, calling everyone to the backyard.
During the meal, the core disciples of the Yan family were chatting away about yachts, mansions, and luxury goods. Qin Yu and Yan Mingyu both kept silent; they really didn't fit in with these people.
After hastily eating a few bites, they excused themselves.
"Whew..."
Stepping outside the villa, Qin Yu finally took a long sigh, looked at Yan Mingyu with a wry smile, and said, "Heh, dealing with such a bunch of extraordinary relatives, it's really tough on you!"
"Human nature is inherently evil; it's quite normal!"
Yan Mingyu, probably having dealt with these people for a long time, had become immune, seemingly not taking it to heart.
"Heh, you didn't get enough to eat, did you? Let me treat you to some late-night snacks!"
Qin Yu glanced at Yan Mingyu's flat belly.
"Are you really trying to make me fat?"
Yan Mingyu rolled her eyes at Qin Yu.
Even if what he had said tonight was just bravado, as his wife, it was comforting that her husband was willing to stand up for her at a critical moment.
"Hehe, a plump wife means a prosperous home. Don't worry, you won't have to pay; I'll treat!"
Qin Yu joked.
"Alright, but this isn't a precedent; I rarely eat late-night snacks!"
Yan Mingyu was still very conscious of her body management. She was a full 1.7 meters tall, yet she managed to keep her weight around 100 pounds year-round.
After getting in the car, Qin Yu drove towards the nearby night market.
"By the way, do you really plan to help me bridge this one billion yuan funding gap?"
During the drive, Yan Mingyu turned her head to ask Qin Yu.
"Mm, I have my ways!"
Qin Yu said seriously.
"Then... is it dangerous?"
Yan Mingyu couldn't help but worry.
"Hehe, it's not dangerous!"
Qin Yu said with a grin.
"Actually, living together is a matter for two people, you really don't need to care about what they say!"
Yan Mingyu wasn't some naive girl fresh out of school. How could she not realize that it would be dangerous for an ordinary person to make one billion yuan in a short period of time?
"I can disregard it once, twice, but I can't ignore it every time, right? The only way is to shut them up with facts!"
Qin Yu habitually stretched out his hand, wanting to pat Yan Mingyu's hand.
However, the car shook a little, his hand slipped, and it landed on Yan Mingyu's elastic thigh.
"Err... It wasn't on purpose!"
Qin Yu said awkwardly.
Yan Mingyu was wearing a trench coat outside and a body-hugging skirt underneath. Her slender legs were enveloped in crystal stockings and looked smooth and tempting in the faint light.
"If... you want to, we could have our wedding? Then we can live together openly!"
Yan Mingyu said with bitten lips and a slightly red face.
Qin Yu was a normal man, and since the two of them were legally married, it would be right and proper, wouldn't it?
"Ah?"
Qin Yu hit the brakes and gazed at Yan Mingyu's beautiful face, his Adam's apple bobbing.
He dared not think what it would feel like to share a bed with such a fairy-like beauty.
"I mean, we can do that after the wedding, not now!"
Yan Mingyu said irritably.
"Hehe, alright, once I've dealt with the Martial Alliance issue, we'll have the wedding!"
"Mm!"
The two chatted while driving leisurely.
"Hey, didn't you say we were going for late-night snacks?"
Soon, Yan Mingyu sensed something was amiss—this route certainly didn't lead to the night market.
"Shush..."
Qin Yu glanced at the rearview mirror and suddenly turned into an alley.
It was pitch-black, without even a streetlight.
"Qin Yu, what... are you doing?"
Yan Mingyu felt a little nervous. Could it be that Qin Yu was overly eager and wanted to get intimate with her in the car?
But they hadn't even had their wedding yet!
If this guy dared to be so hasty, she would definitely slap him awake.
As Yan Mingyu's thoughts raced, Qin Yu suddenly murmured, "A car's been following us just now."
"People from the Martial Alliance?"
Yan Mingyu also glanced outside and asked.
"Not sure. Let's skip the late-night snack; I'll take you home first, then draw this person out to see who they really are!"
Qin Yu said after a moment's thought.
