Hong Kong variety show: My handsome son, Kwan, is a master at making money in Hung Hing.

In a luxury apartment building, Long Jiwen received the message and his dimples lit up with joy. He rolled around excitedly on the bed and immediately began to happily look at the limited edition mobile phone he had specially bought. He planned to give one to each of them when they met, so that he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to contact him!

"Hmph, at least you still have a conscience. You know I've waited long enough, so you're treating me to a movie to make up for it!"

Long Jiwen beamed with joy and was about to call the headquarters to reply to the message when he suddenly seemed to remember something, his movements faltered, and his cheeks flushed red as if boiling water had been poured over them.

See a movie?

No, it's not an open-air movie, is it?

Long Jiwen immediately recalled the scene she had witnessed Qin Tai and Luo Huiling watching a movie. Why did Qin Tai specifically emphasize watching a movie? Could it be that he wanted to…?

Even the notoriously fearless and crazy Long Jiwen panicked this time.

But how should she reply?

Should we question Qin Tai?

But what if they don't mean that and just want to go to a regular movie theater?

Wouldn't that be wronging my friend?

What if this little mistake ruins their hard-won friendship? She only has this one friend, how could she bear to test her?

But if she didn't ask clearly, she felt restless and anxious, wondering what would happen if she actually went to the open-air cinema!

I...I have no experience in this area!

Torn between these thoughts, Long Jiwen stayed up all night, his brain completely shut down, and ended up with panda eyes the next day.

Li Xinxin was also sleepless at night. Heaven knows how much courage it took for her to send Qin Tai a message. Ever since they met last time, she had been looking forward to Qin Tai inviting her out on a date.

But waiting like this is like throwing a stone into the sea.

Her thoughts were so preoccupied that she couldn't help but fantasize about Qin Tai, the male protagonist, even in her dreams at night. So, being as reserved as she was, she still subtly asked him a question to make her presence known.

But Qin Tai's words, "Busy thinking of you," completely ignited Li Xinxin's passion. Her fair, jade-like skin was instantly coated with a layer of red paint, hissing and emitting white smoke.

What's the difference between this and confessing your feelings?

So incredibly alluring!

Li Xinxin was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to reply and didn't dare to sleep all night.

Otherwise, if He Min, who was beside her, heard her shameful murmurs in her sleep, she would probably never be able to lift her head and would be ridiculed for a whole year!

"Amei, our family's survival depends entirely on you!"

At this moment, in the home of a young Jewish man, a woman with wrinkled skin and white hair, looking distressed, was pulling at her two children, pleading with Ruan Mei in a low voice.

"Auntie, please don't do this, I...I'll do my best."

Ruan Mei couldn't bear to see her like that and helped her up.

This woman was only a few years younger than Ruan Mei's grandmother, and they looked like they were the same age. In fact, she was only in her early fifties. The hardships of life at the bottom of society had already etched wrinkles all over her face, making her look weathered and worn.

"Thank you, thank you!" The middle-aged woman wiped away her tears and scolded her son with exasperation, "Beckham, it's all your fault for being so useless. Not only did you gamble away all the money you earned, but you also incurred high-interest debts, forcing your sister Ann to work as a dancer in a nightclub to support the family!"

"You shouldn't have provoked that lecherous scoundrel, and you even planned to sell your sister to him!"

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped her son hard across the face. The son, trembling with guilt, tried to explain, "I only owed 30,000 yuan from gambling, who would have thought this lecherous man would snowball it to 300,000! I... how could I bear to sell my sister? It was just a temporary measure; I'm trying to find a solution..."

"Mom, I promise that once I get through this, I will sincerely repent, work hard, and never gamble again!"

The daughter, Ann, who is gentle and kind, quickly took her mother's arm and timidly advised, "Mom, my brother knows he was wrong, and he will definitely not do it again! I promise you, I will do my best today and try to get Mr. Qin's attention..."

Mentioning this, Beckham perked up, beaming, "Mom, if my little sister can catch the eye of the famous Hung Hing's Handsome Tai, that would be a blessing from past lives! These days, who in the underworld doesn't know the name of Hung Hing's Handsome Tai? From now on, we won't be bullied anymore, and we can rise to great heights!"

"By then, I won't just be a dancer, I'll at least be a madam, earning tens of thousands of dollars a month! You can just enjoy your retirement from now on!"

His mind was racing with calculations. He fantasized that if he had this connection, why would he need to be a mechanic? He could easily become a nightclub manager and stop using customers' cars for maintenance to impress others. He could just buy a Mercedes and live a carefree life!

These words stirred a longing in the middle-aged woman's heart. After working hard for most of her life, she finally had a chance to climb the social ladder. It would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted.

"Ahem!" Grandma Ruan Mei spoke up, giving the middle-aged woman a warning, "Afang, if it weren't for the fact that our two families are related by blood and marriage in Suzhou and Hangzhou on the mainland, this kind of good thing would never have come your way. Don't forget what we agreed on."

"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Grandma! My daughter is very well-behaved, sensible, and filial. Although she's a dancer now, she's only been working for less than half a month. She only does the work of a goldfish, not a wooden fish, and never goes out on stage! She's as pure as a white lotus flower, and she doesn't have any of the crooked thoughts of those slutty girls outside!"

"Once I'm married into the family, I'll definitely recognize Amei as my eldest sister and follow her lead in everything! And when I have children, the first one I'll give to Amei will be adopted!"

The middle-aged woman's wrinkled face was practically beaming with joy as she confidently patted her chest, making a promise that she was afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Ann blushed deeply. This kind of hard-hitting introduction, which sounded like a pork vendor at a market, was not something an unmarried girl like her could easily handle, especially since she was going to put on a great show for herself and risk her future happiness to please a man she had never even met.

In the past, she would never have imagined such an experience, but now she had no choice. Her brother was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money to loan sharks, and the wicked gangster Xiong was also eyeing her with predatory intent. If she didn't seize this lifeline, she might not even be able to protect herself.

"Hmm, that's more like it. But let me make this clear from the start: if Mr. Qin doesn't like your Ann, then everything we've said doesn't count!"

Grandma Ruan Mei also knew that forced relationships are never sweet, so she deliberately left room for maneuver.

She had contacted this distant relative long ago, and told him her plans with a try-it-out attitude. But who would have thought that after the other party learned of Qin Tai's great reputation, his attitude of being arrogant at first but then obsequious was even more enthusiastic than hers, as if he was afraid of changing his mind and sending his daughter away.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but the old man wouldn't force the match. If Qin Tai didn't like the girl, then all his efforts would be in vain.

However, the probability is very small, because according to what Ruan Mei's maternal grandmother knows, this cheap granddaughter's husband is quite a womanizer. Ruan Mei knows of more than two dozen women, so one more won't make a difference!

The old man's eye for people is very accurate. Ann is indeed a gentle, simple, and filial daughter, very suitable to help Amei after she enters the family. Her unassuming and non-competitive nature will not overshadow Amei.

Most importantly, this girl has a great figure and looks like she'll be able to have children easily. When she has children, she can make up for Ruan Mei's regret that she can't have children because of congenital heart disease.
