After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1169: Brother Dafu Sells Himself

With his words, Zhouzhou and Qin Xi both breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the problem was finally resolved. As for the remaining people who hadn't arrived yet, the same method could be applied to them.

What Dad had said was right—talk is useless; teaching through action is the best approach.

Thinking this, Zhouzhou nudged Qin Xi's arm and without hesitation took the opportunity to ask him, "Forth Brother, treat me to a meal!"

He had just helped her with such a huge favor; she deserved a good meal! She was starving.

Qin Xi didn't mention that the Special Action Office was technically hers, and that it had been her responsibility as well. Without giving it much thought, he nodded and patted his chest confidently. "Sure, order whatever you want, I'll cover it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Forth Brother, did you get paid yet?"

Qin Xi: "... No."

Remembering Zhouzhou's monstrous appetite, his eyes wandered off for a moment. "Let's go, I'll take you to get some steamed buns. I know a place nearby where they make really good ones."

If she ate at his expense, she'd probably end up finishing his entire month's salary.

Before, when they ate at home, he hadn't been aware of the cost. But now that he earned his own money, he couldn't help but feel the sting of every penny.

Zhouzhou snorted. "Forth Brother, you've become stingy."

He used to take her to eat meat!

Qin Xi cleared his throat. "These steamed buns are really good."

Zhouzhou: "I'll eat them with latiao!"

"Alright!"

"I want ten packs of latiao!"

"No, only two. Otherwise, Little Uncle will find out and scold me again. He doesn't let you eat junk food."

"Deal."

As soon as Qin Lie was mentioned, Zhouzhou immediately stopped arguing.

The two siblings, like they hadn't eaten in days, rushed to the steamed bun shop. They bought a basket of buns and ate them happily with latiao, also helping themselves to a bowl of water from the shop's owner.

The shopkeeper looked at them sympathetically and whispered to her husband, "These two poor kids probably haven't eaten for days. They must be starving."

Qin Xi nearly choked on his food.

It hadn't been days—it had only been a few hours.

But seeing Zhouzhou's expression, he thought better of it and swallowed his words.

The shopkeeper's sympathy seemed to deepen. A while ago, there had been a rumor circulating in Jing City that Qin Lie had been mistreating Zhouzhou. People even spread the word that he was pretending to be nice to Zhouzhou, while secretly starving her, not letting her eat enough. After all, how else could the daughter of the richest family always look so thin and hungry?

Qin Xi had even heard someone call Qin Lie an "angelic bitch" behind his back.

He couldn't help but feel bad for his little uncle.

It was so unfair!

Luckily, no one recognized them here, or else the photos would have circulated, and the rumor about Qin Lie abusing Zhouzhou would spread even further.

Zhouzhou finished her last steamed bun, licked her lips, and patted her round belly, feeling satisfied.

She looked at Qin Xi and asked, "Forth Brother, are you going home?"

Qin Xi shook his head. "I'm going to interrogate Hu Dayong in a bit. You go home first."

"Okay."

Zhouzhou called Qin Lie, and before long, he came to pick her up.

When they arrived at the front door, she noticed a familiar car parked out front. It seemed like it belonged to the Shao family.

As she was wondering about it, Qin Er walked out and waved at her.

Zhouzhou smiled at him and was about to speak when he said something that shocked her.

"Caicai, I'm getting married."

"Ah?"

Zhouzhou stopped in her tracks, her mouth open in disbelief, blinking a few times before she processed the shocking news.

Qin Lie pinched his brow, clearly already knowing about this, but still speechless.

He looked at Qin Er with a complicated expression, clearly disgusted.

This guy actually...

He didn't want to think further and turned his eyes away from him.

Zhouzhou, still stunned, asked, "To Sister Generous?"

"Yeah." Qin Er nodded, and then dropped another bombshell that made Zhouzhou feel as if she had been struck by five bolts of lightning.

He said, "If I'm marrying into her family, from now on, I'll be called Shao Dafu."

Zhouzhou: "What?"

As for the wedding part, she could somewhat accept it. After all, she had already predicted their marriage, even though she hadn't expected it to happen so suddenly.

But the idea of him marrying into her family? She hadn't seen that coming at all.

Behind them, Grandpa and Grandma Qin also came out, both with expressions full of speechlessness.

One hour earlier, at Qin Er's office.

Shao Shanshan entered his office with her assistant and immediately got to the point. "Marry me?"

At that moment, Qin Er was caught off guard by her words.

Shao Shanshan looked at him seriously, her words deliberate. "I've taken care of the issues at Shao Industry, but since we're a listed company, replacing the chairman would cause instability in the stock market, which is bad for our development. So, I need a marriage certificate. It will make me seem more reliable, and it will save me a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Qin Er understood what she was saying. He crossed his arms on the table, his eyes sharp as he looked at her. "So you want to use me? Why should I cooperate with you? What's in it for me?"

He was blunt, almost to the point of rudeness.

Shao Shanshan didn't mind. She had already researched him and knew what he was like. Plus, he wasn't trying to hide his intentions, which she appreciated more than anyone who kept things in the dark.

She slid a document across the table. "This is a prenuptial agreement drafted by my lawyer. You can take a look."

She pulled out a chair and sat across from him, speaking slowly, "After marriage, your money will remain yours, and the same goes for Shao Industry. My private property will become our joint property. In addition, I'll give you one hundred million as a dowry."

"A dowry?" Qin Er raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," she said. "Since I'm the only daughter in my family, I want the child to take my last name. You'll be marrying into my family, so the dowry is one hundred million. I'll prepare the wedding house and put your name on the deed. After marriage, we'll live with my father. Considering you might feel uncomfortable with that, I'm also willing to transfer one percent of Shao Industry's shares to your name as compensation. If you have any other requests, you can say them now."

If it were any other man, they might have exploded with anger.

Being married into someone else's family was considered a humiliation for a man.

What did money matter? Could it make the humiliation go away?

However, the person before her was Qin Dafu!

It didn't feel like humiliation—it was clearly a blessing from the God of Wealth!

Immediately, Qin Er's face broke into a bright, friendly smile. "Can you tell me why you chose me? Aren't you worried I'll take advantage of your company?"

Shao Shanshan laughed lightly. "You didn't even want Qin Corporation. If I managed to attract you to my company, I would consider it an honor. That would mean I've done better than Qin Corporation."

Of course, this was never going to happen.

Qin Er was a man who loved money but would never take advantage of others. He was the type to get it through proper means.

So, Shao Shanshan was at ease.

Qin Er didn't waste time, quickly picking up a pen and signing the document, his speed so fast it seemed like he was afraid she would change her mind.

"Deal!"

They shook hands, and the deal was sealed.

Zhouzhou, standing in the doorway, was stunned.

So, Brother Dafu sold himself for money?
