To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Jiang Jin Huan paused for a moment, "Um... Qing Ci!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingci's lips curled into a smile.

"Have you eaten? Would you like me to make you something to eat?"

"No need, I've already eaten, really!"

Jiang Jin Huan quickly stopped him, asking the president to cook for him?

Is he crazy?

Song Qingci didn't insist. She realized that Jiang Jinhuan was still somewhat unfamiliar with her.

This made her very unhappy.

She was completely captivated by him, wishing she could meld him into her very being.

But why does he always seem so distant from me?

Am I really unattractive?

Or perhaps my skills in bed weren't good enough to make this guy remember me?

Jiang Jinhuan was unaware of Song Qingci's thoughts.

He went to his room to wash up.

Unbeknownst to him, Song Qingci appeared outside his bathroom door at that moment.

He stared at the bathroom door and suddenly wiped away his drool.

She hadn't noticed it before, but now, for some reason, she felt that Jiang Jin Huan smelled sweet, and she couldn't help but want to pounce on him and take a breath.

Song Qingci looked at the bath towel in her hand.

A playful smile played on his lips.

The sounds of washing up inside stopped at that moment.

The door opened, but there were no towels in the bathroom.

and so……

Slurp, Song Qingci slurped his saliva again.

His eyes burned as he stared at the bathroom door!

……

The Qin family.

The Qin family was once a top-tier wealthy family.

Unfortunately, the Qin family was not large; the eldest son, Qin Shan, died young, and the second son, Qin Hai, passed away from illness just a few days after his marriage.

The Qin family also has another daughter, Qin Lan.

However, Qin Lan is a woman with a rich emotional life, and as others would say, she is somewhat unrestrained.

She married twice, but each time her husband died shortly after the wedding.

So she had no choice but to return to the Qin family again.

Now, all the male descendants of the Qin family are dead, and Qin's father is old and plagued by illness, making him unable to manage affairs.

As a result, the Qin family declined significantly.

They were overtaken by the Song family later on.

It was at this time that Qin Lan took over the Qin family. Unexpectedly, Qin Lan had some skills and quickly stabilized the Qin family's decline after taking power.

However, it's impossible to bring the Qin family to its peak.

The biggest shortcoming of the Qin family is that it has no male heirs.

Now that Qin Lan has become the head of the Qin family, if the Qin family wants to maintain its influence in the company, then Qin Lan will definitely not marry outside the family and can only find a son-in-law who lives with her family.

Of course, there is another way, which is to have a descendant as soon as possible, to have an heir.

However, Qin Lan is no longer young, and her two marriages have earned her a reputation for bringing bad luck to her husbands.

The wealthier people are, the more they care about this.

Therefore, Qin Lan has not found a suitable husband yet, and at the age of thirty-three, she is still single.

When Qin Lan received the call from her mother, she was working on a merger and acquisition plan.

"Lanlan, your Aunt Liu has introduced you to someone. When would you be free to meet him?"

Qin Lan's fingers paused for a moment, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Again.

Since she took over the Qin family, blind dates have never stopped.

But the results were never satisfactory.

Either she didn't like the other person, or the other person was scared away by her reputation as a "husband-killer".

Now, as she gets older, even fewer men who meet her criteria are willing to marry her.

However, the fewer the number of blind dates, the more frequently they are arranged.

He's been on five blind dates this month.

"Mom, I'm very busy right now." Qin Lan's voice was calm, with a hint of detachment.

"You're almost thirty-three! If you don't have a child soon, it'll be too late!" Qin's mother's voice trembled with tears. "You're the only one left in the Qin family. If you don't get married, how will the Qin family continue its lineage?"

Qin Lan remained silent for a moment.

She knew her mother was telling the truth.

With all the male direct descendants of the Qin family dead, she is now the only one who can continue the Qin family bloodline.

If she doesn't get married and have children, the Qin family line will be completely severed.

"Who is the other party?" Qin Lan put down her pen wearily and leaned back in her chair.

Her graceful figure, coupled with her charming and alluring face, would make any man's heart flutter.

"Jiang Zhe, the eldest son of the Jiang family!"

Qin Lan was taken aback: "The Jiang family? Which Jiang family?"

"It's the Jiang family, the Jiang Group. Although they're only a third-rate family, they have a solid foundation. And this Jiang Zhe just returned from abroad; he's young and promising..."

Qin Lan interrupted her mother: "Mom, Jiang Zhe's reputation in Jiangcheng hasn't been good lately. He spent 100 million yuan to buy a piece of land nobody wanted, and I heard he's almost lost it all."

Qin's mother paused for a moment, then said, "Your reputation isn't much better."

Qin Lan's face instantly darkened.

These words struck a nerve with her.

Two marriages, two deceased husbands, and a label of "husband-killer" have made her a laughing stock in Jiangcheng's business circles.

"Lanlan, that's not what Mom meant..." Qin's mother realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends, "I meant that you two are the kind of people who are often gossiped about, so when you're together, no one dares to say anything."

Moreover, the Jiang family said they don't mind your past and are willing to come to their family as a son-in-law, as long as you can help Jiang Zhe.

"Also, one of the children must take the surname Jiang. That's the Jiang family's condition, and I think it's fine!"

Qin Lan frowned even more deeply.

Is he here to become a live-in son-in-law?

This would indeed allow her to legitimately make her child a direct descendant of the Qin family.

How could the Jiang family be so magnanimous? Jiang Zhe is, after all, the eldest son of the Jiang family!

"Is this all the money they have?"

"That's right, the Jiang family's only condition is that you can help Jiang Zhe gain a foothold in the Jiang Group."

Qin's mother paused for a moment, then said, "Their family now has an illegitimate son who is the general manager of the Jiang Group. Jiang Zhe's father wants Jiang Zhe to take over the business, but that illegitimate son is too outstanding, and Jiang Zhe simply cannot compete with him."

Hearing this in Jiangjin would probably be even more disheartening.

Now the Jiang family has even stripped him of his status as their biological son, turning him into an illegitimate child.

Qin Lan sneered, "So you want me to clean up their mess?"

"Lanlan, don't rush to refuse. The Jiang family said that as long as you get married, the Jiang Group can fully cooperate with the Qin family, including that plot of land in the south of the city..."

Qin Lan's eyes flickered slightly.

Although the plot of land in the south of the city is not worth much now, she has a vague feeling that there is still potential there in the future.

More importantly, that piece of land is useless to others, but it will be of great use to the development of a factory belonging to the Qin family.

Moreover, the Qin family has been trying to transform into a real economy business in recent years, so cooperating with the Jiang family would be a good opportunity.

The Jiang family still has its foundation, and she had already discovered that the Jiang family has been developing strongly since changing general managers, and the Jiang family has also cooperated with the Song family, all of which are helpful.

"Let me think about it," Qin Lan said, and then hung up the phone.

She stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the city night view outside, and a trace of weariness flashed in her eyes.

Thirty-three years old, two failed marriages, and a stigma of being a jinx to husbands.

Does she still have the right to be picky?
