The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 118 - 122: Phoenix Man - This Kind of Creature (6)

Chapter 118: Chapter 122: Phoenix Man - This Kind of Creature (6)

Ju Family’s computer, Su Qing knew about it, especially its price...

Xu Baifeng, in the kitchen, heard the noises from the living room and couldn’t help raising her voice, "Xiao Jun, does this computer really help a lot with your studies?"

"Definitely, it speeds up modeling and rendering a lot, all my classmates have bought one."

Hearing this, Xu Baifeng poked half her head out of the kitchen, "But we don’t have much money left, and the money for your cram school was even paid by your sister..."

Xu Baifeng’s words were laced with helplessness and distress, her eyes continuously drifting towards Su Qing.

Having not heard from Su Qing for a long while, the corners of Xu Baifeng’s mouth involuntarily turned downward, and she then returned to the kitchen to nudge Jiang Tao with her elbow.

The two of them whispered in the kitchen for a while before Jiang Tao, wiping his hands, came out of the kitchen, "Xiao Jun, can you wait a bit, let’s wait for Dad..."

Jiang Jun pouted, dismissively saying, "Dad, I didn’t ask you guys to buy it for me, I was talking to my sister..."

While saying this, Jiang Jun gave Su Qing a flattering smile, "Sis, I knew you care about me the most."

In the past, Su Qing wouldn’t wait for Jiang Tao to speak, she would considerately agree first.

That amount of money really wasn’t much for her, as the pocket money Su Li gave her every month was several dozen times that amount, not to mention the occasional subsidies from Su Fugui.

But now...

She might not even have as much money as Jiang Jun.

Su Qing was clearly troubled, "Xiao Jun... Sis is short of money recently... can we delay it a bit?"

Hearing this, Jiang Jun’s face immediately turned sour, "Yeah right, as if you could be out of money. You are the future heir of the Su Group, the Lady of the Su Family."

That excuse might work on a three-year-old, but using it on him, did they really think he was that stupid?

Jiang Jun just assumed that Su Qing was unwilling and was making up an excuse.

Not only was Jiang Jun upset, but Jiang Tao’s face also stiffened, his smile as forced as could be. He mildly said to his son, "Xiao Jun, don’t talk to your sister like that."

Jiang Jun snorted coldly, turned around, and went back to his room, slamming the door with a loud "bang."

The sound of the doorframe, like a blow to Su Qing’s heart, startled her greatly.

For a moment, she felt rather nervous and at a loss.

Every time she visited the Jiang Family, she was treated like a VIP; she had never experienced anything like today...

Su Qing felt it was a really terrible day.

Sounds of banging and clanging came from the kitchen, Xu Baifeng’s activities unknown, whether it was the sound of plates shattering or pots colliding.

When it was time for dinner, both Jiang Jun and Xu Baifeng had sullen faces, as though someone owed them a huge sum of money.

Only Jiang Tao had reverted back to being a warm and considerate father, making eyes at his son and wife and continuously serving dishes to Su Qing with a smile.

"Qingqing, eat more."

Xu Baifeng also forced a stiff smile, "Yes, Qingqing, eat more, look how thin you are, why doesn’t your mom nourish you properly."

Even Jiang Jun spoke up reluctantly, "Sis, you should come to our house more often, let mom and dad fatten you up."

Su Qing’s sensitive heart quickly mend itself with the collective effort of those at the Jiang Family.

Surrounded by the coaxing voices of the three Jiangs, Su Qing felt better. After dinner, she stayed a little longer before calling a taxi to return to Zheng Zhanpeng’s place.

When Su Qing opened the door with her key, the small two-bedroom apartment she had rented for her boyfriend was packed with people.

As soon as Zheng Zhanpeng saw Su Qing return, he cheerfully took her hand, "Qingqing, you’re here! Look who they are."

Su Qing immediately showed a polite and ladylike smile, "Uncle, Aunt, and sisters, why did you come early? If I’d known, I would have gone to meet you."

"It’s alright, we managed on our own." While saying this, Shi Erxiu’s murky little eyes incessantly wandered over Su Qing’s body, particularly lingering on her butt and chest several times.

Zheng Youli, Zheng Zhanpeng’s father, sat on the sofa without moving; he just glanced at Su Qing when she arrived, then turned away, continuing to smoke his tobacco pipe incessantly.

The room quickly filled with the choking smell of poor-quality tobacco. freēwēbnovel.com

Zheng Zhanpeng’s two sisters had already rummaged through their brother’s wardrobe and changed into some of the clothes Su Qing had left there.

The way they looked over their goods made Su Qing uncomfortable, even more so to see her own clothes on someone else.

"You’re the sister-in-law, right? Our brother said you’ve brought us some gifts... where are they? We haven’t seen anything."

Zheng Zhaodi and Zheng Qiudi’s eyes roamed eagerly around the room, anxiously anticipating.

Shi Erxiu and Zheng Youli also turned their heads, their gazes falling on Su Qing.

Su Qing took a deep breath, but the air was so filled with smoke that she choked.

Su Qing’s uneasy demeanor caught Zheng Zhanpeng’s eye. His heart skipped, realizing his family had been too eager, coming over without warning, and he hadn’t even had the chance to prepare Su Qing mentally.

Seeing their behavior, what if she was scared off?

Fortunately, it was indeed true love for Zheng Zhanpeng, as Su Qing took a moment to compose herself and said with a smile, "I have prepared gifts for everyone. I’ll get them now."

Zheng Zhanpeng also chimed in, "Mom, look, this is the bracelet Su Qing bought for you."

As soon as the box was opened, Zheng Zhanpeng’s sisters gasped, "Wow, it’s so beautiful."

However, Shi Erxiu wasn’t too pleased, examining the bracelet from various angles, "This is no better than buying me a gold bracelet."

To her, it was as impractical and attractive as a stone. A gold bracelet would have been much better; it would make people in the countryside green with envy.

"If you don’t want it, give it to me," Zheng Qiudi said playfully, circling around Shi Erxiu.

Zheng Zhaodi wouldn’t be outdone, "I’ll take it too, I really like it." It looked expensive, and she had heard her brother say his girlfriend was a wealthy lady.

Zheng Zhaodi’s covetous gaze briefly touched on Su Qing again.

"Guess how much this bracelet costs?" Zheng Zhanpeng pretended to be puzzled, but before they could guess, he revealed, "It cost over 180,000..."

The entire Zheng family was dumbfounded, stuttering without managing to say a coherent word.

Suddenly, everyone looked at the bracelet as if it was some rare treasure. Shi Erxiu swallowed hard, "Really, that expensive..."

"Why would I lie? The receipt is still in the box."

Nimbly, Shi Erxiu put the bracelet back in the box, snapped it shut with a pop, and acted as if she was guarding a treasure, "I’ll keep it safe for now, to avoid any scratches."
