"Oh, you want to make money too?" Xie Qingliu was amused. How could this silly child have such an idea?

"I... well... if I can make money, then... I don't have to live according to grandma's arrangements. I can... I can be independent." Irene stammered, "I can... I can be independent and take care of the people I want to take care of."

"You are so ugly and you dare not go out. It is difficult for you to make money." Xie Qingliu said bluntly.

Irene lowered her head in grievance, she also knew that she was useless.

"But there is a way. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it." Xie Qingliu said with a smile.

"Brother Qingliu, please tell me quickly." Irene suddenly turned around and said with full expectation.

"First of all, you have to learn one thing, learn to communicate with others." Xie Qingliu raised his finger and said, "For example, don't smile so foolishly... You are still smiling, you can't make money like this."

"I'll bear it!" Irene answered with her mouth tightly closed.

"Well, the second thing is... don't be afraid of being ugly. As long as you can let others see your shining points, you can be liked by others even if you are ugly." Xie Qingliu said seriously.

pS: Ahhhh, I have a cold!! It feels so bad!!!

Chapter 80 Return and Invitation

In the evening, Sister Yu drove the jeep with a dark face and slowly stopped it by the lake. She jumped out of the car and stared at the leading boy with an unhappy look. The other party's inexplicable charm was indeed somewhat attractive, but as a soldier who had been committed to protecting others since childhood, no matter how beautiful the appearance was, it was nothing.

So…she’s in a bad mood right now.

"Thank you." Xie Qingliu said with a friendly smile.

"No need." Sister Yu had a cold face and resisted the urge to beat up Xie Qingliu. She turned to Irene and said, "Miss, the car is here."

Irene nodded awkwardly, then hid behind Xie Qingliu and said, "Sister Yu, I asked you to do it, don't blame Brother Qingliu."

"I……"

Sister Yu was choked and speechless for a moment. She took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "Miss, it's fun."

After saying this, the full-time bodyguard turned and left, as she was afraid she would not be able to resist beating someone up.

“Qingliu, this woman seems to be very powerful.”

After the other party left, Lin Qingyu frowned, pulled Xie Qingliu and said, "She should be very good at boxing and kicking."

"How did you figure that out, Qingyu?" Xie Qingliu smiled cheerfully.

In the game, Sister Yu learned bare-handed combat and was good at grappling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but she rarely used it. However, she seemed to train every day, so her fighting ability was still quite reliable.

"Body shape and calluses." Lin Qingyu answered briefly.

"Don't worry about it." Xie Qingliu waved his hand. He had already deviated from the original plot line of sending Lin Qingyu to assassinate Irene, so the possibility of confronting Sister Yu was almost non-existent.

However, thinking about how badly he was beaten by the opponent in the game, after playing tiredly in the afternoon, he simply borrowed Irene to order Sister Yu to drive her car over. It was because this woman always looked like she couldn't stand him, and she was targeting the opponent.

"Qingliu, Irene..." Mei Mei saw something else.

"My family has some money, richer than me." Xie Qingliu said lightly.

Mei Mei was speechless. She didn't expect that the silly-looking Irene actually had such a family background.

"Let's go to grandma's house and say goodbye first, and then we can go back to our own homes." Xie Qingliu stretched his body and said, "What do you think?"

The three girls looked at each other. Mei Mei and Lin Qingyu naturally had no objection, or they didn't dare to say it even though Xie Qingliu was asking. If they dared to say "no", they would definitely be scolded.

Only Irene opened her mouth hesitantly, then closed it, and opened it again. Finally, as if she had made a decision, she grabbed the corner of Xie Qingliu's clothes with both hands.

"What?" Xie Qingliu raised his eyebrows. He just symbolically asked for their opinions. He said that if anyone dared to oppose him, he would let them know what a man's deterrent power is.

"Brother Qingliu, can you... come to my house today?" Irene said softly.

"Don't go."

Xie Qingliu refused almost without hesitation.

Is it that my own games are not fun enough, or my bed is not soft enough? Why should I go to a silly kid's house? Even if you are pretty, can your games be more fun than mine?

"I...Brother Qingliu, you said you would teach me how to make money." Irene said aggrievedly, "And I still have a lot of questions I want to discuss with Brother Qingliu."

"Go play somewhere else. It's not enough to sit together at school every day, but we have to be together at night?" Xie Qingliu glanced at the girl and said, "If you don't want to go, then you don't want to go."

"Brother Qingliu, to be honest, I want to introduce you to grandma."

Irene gritted her teeth and said with her eyes closed: "She...she is the person closest to me, Brother Qingliu! Please help me."

After hearing this, Xie Qingliu did not refuse immediately this time, because... this was a plot point.

Irene's grandmother was not a good person, and could even be described as a heinous criminal. However, the people she persecuted were all foreigners. They were of Chinese descent who went abroad in the 1970s. She brought a group of sisters to Europe, started out in the underworld, then washed her hands and entered politics. Then, somehow, she became a consortium and controlled the economic lifelines of several small countries. She was a real local tyrant.

Then, it was the old-fashioned Chinese returning home plot.

The old man's ancestors were all revolutionary figures with a good family background. They cared about the motherland, or rather, they wanted to find a way out for themselves as China became stronger. However, his daughter was not a good girl and eloped with a strange man and gave birth to a child, Irene.

The rest of the story is bloody yet a bit heartbreaking. Irene's father died when she was ten years old, and her mother died soon after because she was too sad. What's speechless is that this woman never revealed Irene's true identity and background until her death.

An orphan, and an orphan with a weird appearance, it goes without saying how he is treated in a place like Neon.

She was bullied for three whole years before being found, and the ending was very tragic. The girl was already fifteen years old at this time, but she was mentally deficient and had a very high IQ. She was in a stage of rejecting her relatives who suddenly appeared.

Although the mistress was angry at her daughter's behavior, her granddaughter was innocent. After trying various methods without success, she had no choice but to let Irene return home as a retreat and to allow the girl to heal her emotional trauma.

But a few years later, Irene's symptoms did not improve, but became more serious.

Now Xie Qingliu has made Irene's condition better. Although this was not Xie Qingliu's original intention, his plot is related to a very important thing, which is whether Hongtu Real Estate can continue to grow.

"Will there be a marriage alliance?"

Xie Qingliu's hands trembled. His parents were old capitalists. If they knew that he had this relationship with Ailin, and the mistress had the slightest intention of doing so, no matter how good her relationship with Mei Mei's parents was, she would fall out in a matter of minutes.

But now things have developed to this point. If he doesn't prepare in advance, he will probably be arranged for.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't mind marrying Irene. The girl was pretty and easy to bully, and he would probably be the one in charge in the future.

But he is the new wave, so how can he allow someone to restrict him?

"Go, go tonight." Xie Qingliu patted Irene's shoulder heavily and said.

The sudden reversal not only surprised Irene, but also dumbfounded Mei Mei. She stared at Xie Qingliu in confusion but did not dare to interrupt.

"Brother Qingliu is so nice." Irene narrowed her beautiful eyes and her smile almost reached the corners of her mouth.

"Hehe." Xie Qingliu smiled. Families like Irene's are very strict in choosing spouses. If his personality were to be revealed, he would definitely be disliked, no surprise there.

Anyway, he is just a tool now. He can use the healing of Irene to build some relationships. He doesn't want to touch Xie Qingliu. He just wants to be a happy backer, not a successful person. Isn't it good to be a salted fish? Why do you find so much trouble for yourself.

pS: Second update~!

Chapter 81: Ordinary Road

The bright moon was hanging in the sky, the night was quiet, and standing in front of a small building full of historical atmosphere, Xie Qingliu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the scene of calling his mother appeared in his mind.

In order to be financially independent, he would not do things as he did in the past unless it was necessary, so he specifically explained that he was going to spend the night at a classmate's house. After saying that he was going to Irene's house, he clearly felt that his mother's tone... became more friendly, and she even asked him considerately if he wanted money.

"Fuck, my mother is too real."

Xie Qingliu felt as if he had been betrayed and had mixed emotions, but he could feel the care from his mother.

Compared to Mei Mei, Irene is indeed a better choice for a loser like him. She has a strong background and enough money to cover him. Even if someone dies, Irene's background can suppress it.

"Brother Qingliu, what are you looking at?"

Irene asked in a soft voice.

The two of them had been standing at the door for nearly five minutes, and Xie Qingliu seemed to be under a spell, with no one knowing what he was thinking about.

"I'm wondering when you will become smart." Xie Qingliu said seriously.

After hearing this, Irene laughed foolishly, not realizing that she was being scolded. Instead, she said happily, "I don't want to be smart."

"Huh?" Xie Qingliu was stunned. Is this kid really stupid?

"Brother Qingliu doesn't like smart people." Irene said proudly.

Xie Qingliu opened his mouth. Did he underestimate Irene? But the girl looked innocent, as if she was speaking from her heart, so... Damn! He was actually shocked by a silly child.

"Knock on the door." Shaking his head, Xie Qingliu was too lazy to think about this question and said hurriedly.

"No need to shout, I have the key." Irene reached into her collar again, and under Xie Qingliu's strange gaze, she took out a card and swiped it on the door, then said proudly, "I forget things easily, so Sister Yu prepared this especially for me."

"Then you are so outstanding." Xie Qingliu was very curious if the girl's chest was a treasure chest. How could there be everything in it?

The girl opened the door and led Xie Qingliu into the house. It was almost the same as the last time they came. There was a long table in the living room. It looked like there was no one there, but Xie Qingliu sensitively noticed a noise coming from the small room next door.

"Brother Qingliu, upstairs, upstairs."

Irene shouted cheerfully, "Down below is the territory of the big sisters."

"I can see that." Xie Qingliu glanced at the midnight snack in the corner. These bodyguards are really working hard, he complained in his heart.

"Sister Yu, the eldest lady finally understands us."

In a small room, more than ten people were crowded together, and one of them said with tears in his eyes.

"Idiot, the eldest lady has always been kind, she just wasn't used to interacting with people before." Sister Yu scolded angrily.

On the second floor, Xie Qingliu just walked up and found Irene taking off her clothes. Her pants were half taken off, revealing her white underwear. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was about to yell at her, but he thought about it and held back. Instead, he looked at her with interest.

"Brother Qingliu, this way."

Irene didn't seem to have a very good idea about the relationship between the two sexes. She took off her T-shirt and left it in her underwear, saying, "I'll go get the computer."

Xie Qingliu laughed. When the mistress saw him with Irene in her underwear, she would definitely think that he was a fickle man. Perfect! How could such a green tea be acceptable to her?

So, Xie Qingliu began to admire the girl's body openly.

Straight legs, tight little buttocks, a little belly with some naughty fat, and small peaks shaking during movements, um! Very nice scenery.

"Brother Qingliu, grandma has a lot of things to do, we may have to wait a while before we can get in touch."

The girl sat cross-legged on the cushion, logged into a dedicated account, connected to the Internet, entered the password, started the video, and spoke in a soft voice.

"It's okay. The night is still long. Don't rush." ​​Xie Qingliu pulled a big doll over and leaned against it comfortably, looking at the girl unscrupulously.

Sure enough, what scientists said was right. Watching beautiful things for a long time can indeed soothe one's mood. He is in a very good mood now. He is not even afraid of his pants moving. He has discovered it. He is just a scumbag anyway, and he did it.

Then... the computer screen flashed. Xie Qingliu, who was wondering whether to go a little further, saw the old face appear on the screen and became inexplicably nervous.

The old woman is somewhat similar to Qingyu's grandmother. She looks very fierce and has a scar on her left eyebrow, but it should have been repaired and looks very shallow.

"Little Irene, what do you want from grandma so late at night?"

The old man asked with a kind smile on his face and an extremely doting tone.

"Grandma, I have a friend."

Irene moved the camera, crawled to Xie Qingliu's side, and introduced him happily: "His name is Xie Qingliu."

Xie Qingliu was still leaning on the doll, looking at the screen with an indifferent expression.

The old man's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he smiled and said, "Very good, very good-looking boy."

"Brother Qingliu, can you...can you say hello to grandma?" Irene said weakly, not realizing that Xie Qingliu was pretending.

"Hello."

Xie Qingliu said, waving his hand lazily.

As soon as this gesture was made, Xie Qingliu clearly saw that the old man's breathing became heavier, and he was delighted in his heart. Although the first impression cannot determine everything, it can determine a lot of things.

Now that he had made such a fuss, there was a 99% chance that the other party would not want him and Ailin to have a deeper relationship.

"Haha, the little guy is quite fun." The old man suddenly said with a smile.

"Hmm?" Xie Qingliu's heart skipped a beat. What does this mean?

"Grandma, don't be angry."

Ai Lin seemed to understand what this meant. She stopped in front of Xie Qingliu and said with a stern face, "Brother Qingliu has this kind of personality. You...you don't make things difficult for him."

"Why should I be angry?" The old man laughed and said, "This kid is really open-minded, quite interesting."

"Old man, what did you say?" Xie Qingliu was not Irene. He pulled the girl away and asked in confusion.

"He was a man who could send his friend's father to a nursing home for his friend's sake, and he was even described by his friend as a good boy who respected the elderly and loved the young. In order to reduce the workload on his friend's grandmother, he specially arranged for people to clean the courtyard." The old man said calmly, "What are you afraid of, kid?"
