Chapter 105 The Antidote for the Abstinent Boss (20)
The reason Xie Anshan and Zhou Jin were in such a hurry to push forward their marriage was primarily because their swap marriage was a dishonorable affair.
Xie Anshan was in the wrong. Although he claimed to the outside world that they were twins, the marriage should have fallen to Xie Qingyu.
However, internal arrangements were not made properly from the beginning, and Xie Qingyu knew the truth.
Moreover, unless it's kept secret from everyone from the beginning, it's easy for someone with ulterior motives to find out about such things.
To prevent any unforeseen complications, Xie Anshan was eager for them to settle things quickly.
He was still looking forward to cooperating with the Zhou family so that he could have some cash on hand.
Seeing that Xie Qingyu agreed without any hesitation, Xie Anshan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Uncle Zhou will talk to Zhou He when he gets back, but since it's a matter for young people, it's good for you two to discuss it and see when to set a date." Xie Anshan paused for a moment, "You're still young, getting engaged first and then getting married will be quick, while Grandpa Zhou is still around, he likes children..."
Although Xie Anshan's words were tinged with a bit of personal motives, they were indeed mostly for Xie Qingyu's sake.
The Zhou family's wealth, even if only a little bit slipped through their fingers, would be more than many people could spend in several lifetimes.
Even if I don't get the lion's share, every little bit helps.
"Okay," Xie Qingyu replied obediently.
Wang Meilin, thinking of Xie Qingqing who was still heartbroken upstairs, and seeing Xie Qingyu who was now beaming with pride in front of her, really found Xie Qingyu increasingly displeasing to the eye.
If it weren't for her, this marriage would still be a clean affair, at least there would be a safety net.
Wang Meilin sighed inwardly, having forgotten that it was actually she who, despite the need to uncover the past, wanted to bring Xie Qingyu back to replace Xie Qingqing, just so that Xie Qingqing could confidently climb up to Zhou Shenye.
However, her plan wasn't well-thought-out, and with no definite news from the other side, she was worried that her efforts would be in vain.
Xie Qingyu noticed Wang Meilin's gaze and smiled at her.
That smile looked like a provocation in Wang Meilin's eyes, but because Xie Anshan was present, she couldn't say anything.
"I'll ask Zhou He about the engagement date later. You know his temper; I reckon it'll only count if he agrees," Xie Qingyu said.
"Then ask him when you have time. I reckon your Uncle Zhou will talk to him about it today," Xie Anshan said.

"got engaged?"
At night, in a brightly lit nightclub, Qin Dan asked in surprise.
Zhou He nodded and silently drank a glass of wine.
"What are your thoughts?" Qin Dan asked.
Zhou He couldn't possibly say that now.
He was initially forced to accept a childhood betrothal, which was arranged by his mother before she passed away.
No matter how rebellious he was over the years, he never thought of resisting this marriage.
In his heart, he had already accepted that someone else was in the position of his future wife—Xie Qingqing.
Later, in such a short time, Xie Qingyu took over.
He felt he should have something to say to Xie Qingqing, at least not leave the matter of the marriage exchange unclear, but Xie Qingqing's attitude clearly showed that she didn't want to give him an explanation.
That's why he said he'd be willing to change unless his uncle asked him to; in reality, he was just making an excuse because he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, his uncle actually agreed to the change.
At first, he found it hard to accept, and when those who knew he was engaged mocked him and asked him to call Xie Qingyu out, he recklessly called her out.
However, Xie Qingyu's behavior at this moment was completely different from what he had expected, even shocking him and everyone else.
From that moment on, he seemed to accept Xie Qingyu's existence naturally, and accepted that his fiancée had changed to Xie Qingyu.
Sometimes they even feel that this is quite good, after all, now when Xie Qingyu is mentioned in their circle, other people can only look on with envy.
Sometimes when Zhou He is with Xie Qingyu, he can't quite describe how he feels, but he just feels very comfortable being with her.
He never had any particular thoughts.
When he got home today, his dad talked about the engagement, and he suddenly realized that this was a real engagement.
"What are you spacing out for? I'm asking you what you think. Are you unwilling?" Qin Dan looked at him, a strange light in her eyes.
"I'm not unwilling." Zhou He leaned back, his voice low.
"Tch, if you don't want me to marry you, why are you making that face? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were being forced into marriage." Qin Dan said nonchalantly, but her eyes were fixed on Zhou He's face, as if trying to ascertain whether he was telling the truth.
“It’s just not real,” Zhou He said.
"If you don't like it, then don't get engaged. It's not a big deal. Although this marriage was arranged by your mother, she originally arranged for Xie Qingqing to marry you. Now that she's suddenly changing partners, I wonder if she'll be happy about it from the afterlife. You don't need to think so much about it," Qin Dan advised.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense!" Zhou He said, taking another sip of wine.
"Get lost, I'm just afraid you haven't thought things through and will ruin a good girl's life." Qin Dan also picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
Zhou He had already drunk quite a bit. Upon hearing Qin Dan's words, he suddenly looked at Qin Dan, his eyes slightly unfocused, but still rational. He stared straight at Qin Dan.
"What are you doing? It's creepy." Qin Dan got goosebumps all over from his gaze, shuddered dramatically, and then pulled her body back a little.
"You're so eager to persuade me, you'd love for me not to get engaged, are you after Xie Qingyu?" Zhou He, after drinking a bit, became even more direct.
Qin Dan was speechless for a moment, stunned and not saying a word for a long time, before taking another swig of wine.
Seeing his expression, Zhou He's eyes widened immediately. "You little brat, you're definitely up to no good! You wish!"
"Alright!" Qin Dan impatiently slapped Zhou He's finger away from him. "If you like her, what can I say? But you were clearly chasing after Xie Qingqing before. Now you're saying you like Xie Qingyu? Who would believe that?"
"But we can't make advances towards her."
"When did I ever have designs on her?"
"Then you just..."
"I'm advising you to think carefully before getting engaged..."
Zhou He couldn't get the answer he wanted from Qin Dan either. Instead, they seemed to be in the same boat, drinking one glass after another until they were both completely drunk. It was their companions who took them home.
Since Zhou He didn't refuse after Zhou Jin finished speaking, it was already an implicit agreement to the matter.
Such joyous news naturally had to be shared with the old man first.
