What a ruthless person!

Zhouzhou couldn't help but give Qin Er a big thumbs up. "As expected of Brother Dafu, you're truly impressive!"
After saying this, she eagerly turned to Shao Shanshan, taking her arm and asking cheerfully, "Sister Generous, do you need a wife? I can also be part of the family!"
When Qin Lie heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore. Grabbing the collar of her shirt with a dark expression, he yanked her inside.
As they passed Qin Er, he couldn't help but give him a glare. It was all his fault that Zhouzhou had turned out this way!
But Qin Er just shrugged it off. If Zhouzhou was so obsessed with money, that wasn't his fault, was it? But since he'd set such an example, it would definitely give her new ideas. The next time some guy offered her a billion-dollar dowry, she'd probably run straight to him with her things packed.
The thought of such a possibility made Qin Lie's face sour.
Grandpa and Grandma Qin, too, seemed to have the same concerns, and their expressions weren't any better.
Qin Xu looked at Shao Kang, his headache worsening. "Are you really sure? You're going to marry your daughter—oh, wait, are you saying you're to have Qin Er marry into your family?"
What kind of unlucky son was this, and what kind of mess was he getting himself into?
Is there really someone willing to pay for this?
Qin Xu couldn't understand it at all.
Shao Kang couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, we want him."
Originally, he wasn't too keen on the idea. After all, the Qin family was so large, yet his daughter had chosen one of the oddballs. He was always worried that his daughter would suffer in the future.
But as she had said, Qin Er wouldn't have any designs on the Shao family's assets. The man was quite skilled in business, so he might even offer some help in making the Shao family grow even better.
On the surface, it seemed like they were the ones giving the dowry and losing out, but when you looked at it in the bigger picture, they were the ones who benefited.
Most importantly, Zhouzhou had calculated that they were a perfect match, and he believed his daughter wouldn't be mistreated.
Moreover, Qin Er had been raised by the Qin family, and his character was reliable. Overall, aside from being a bit materialistic, he had no major flaws.
So, he was increasingly satisfied with this son-in-law.
However, the Qin family couldn't understand it and was greatly shocked.
Qin Bei looked a little dumbfounded. He swallowed and quietly tugged at Qin Nan's sleeve, asking, "What did Second Brother say? He wants to marry into Shao family?"
Can men do that? Aren't they supposed to be the ones who marry girls into their family?
Qin Nan nodded, glanced at Qin Bei, and then with some disdain said, "Get a grip, or I might just marry you off too. At least you could earn some dowry."
Qin Bei immediately turned pale with fear. "I don't want that!"
He absolutely didn't want to change his surname!
His voice shot up, drawing the attention of everyone else.
Qin Er quickly understood what Qin Bei was implying, and with a smug expression, he lifted his chin. "You can wish for it, but no one would want you."
It was obvious—he, Qin Dafu, was the most valuable one!
Zhouzhou gazed at him enviously. "Brother Dafu, you're so lucky."
"Imagine if someone gave me that much dowry..." Zhouzhou couldn't help but mutter.
Before she could finish, several voices rang out at once: "No!"
Even Qin Er's expression immediately turned serious, and Qin Lie shot her a sharp look.
He looked at Zhouzhou seriously and said, "Zhouzhou, you're not like me. I'm a man—getting married doesn't change anything for me. But for a girl, once you're married, you have to have kids. It's tough on the body and it costs money. Have you heard of this? Kids are like gold-devouring beasts, cash-burning machines. They'll leave you poor."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes widened with fear, and she shook her head frantically. "Alright, alright, I was just joking! I don't want to get married!"
"Good," Qin Er's expression softened a little, and he patted Zhouzhou's head. "You don't need to envy me. When we make money, we'll share it with you. We're far more reliable than any other man."
"Mm-hmm!" Zhouzhou nodded eagerly. That was right!
Qin Lie's sharp glare softened at last, and he seemed a bit more like a protective older brother. Otherwise, he would have fought Qin Er for it!
However, Shao Kang and his daughter, Shao Shanshan, overheard this conversation.
Shao Kang couldn't help but smile but soon realized something. Although Qin Er was perfect in many ways, he didn't seem to have any feelings for Shao Shanshan.
Even if their family's wealth wasn't at risk, Shao Kang worried that his daughter might not be happy in this marriage.
With that thought in mind, he started to feel anxious.
Shao Shanshan immediately saw the concern in her father's eyes. She shook her head and said, "It's fine, Dad. I've come to terms with it. Love and affection are just illusions. As long as I can earn money, that's enough."
Grandma Qin, hearing this, looked at her with pity. She gently held her hand and patted it softly. "Shanshan, are you sure? You can pick any of my grandchildren. Take your pick."
As soon as she said this, Zhouzhou shot her hand up, grinning widely. Look at me! Look at me!
Brother Dafu said she couldn't marry to a man, but he didn't say she couldn't marry to a woman!
If she stick with Sister Generous, she'll never be in trouble or lose money, right?
With this thought, she jumped higher, excited.
Qin Er pressed down on her head, pushing her back down.
Zhouzhou looked at him unhappily and pouted. "Brother Dafu, you're stealing my business!"
Qin Er gave her a pointed look and raised his chin. "Caicai, are you really going to compete with me?"
Zhouzhou was speechless, her face scrunching up as she turned to Qin Lie and complained. "Daddy, Brother Dafu is bullying me!"
He's got all the business to himself now and doesn't want to let me in! He's changed!
Qin Lie's lips twitched, looking at his daughter, who was upset because she couldn't marry Shao Shanshan. He rubbed his temples in exasperation.
Looks like not only did he need to keep an eye on the men around her, but he also had to worry about her being whisked away by another girl!
What on earth was happening?
Shao Shanshan remained firm, while Qin Er, the money lover, was reluctant to let the "business" slip away. The Qin family could only agree to their marriage.
However, they couldn't be like Qin Er and let the woman do everything. It would be a scandal if word got out that everything was left up to the girl, so they decided to buy a house near Shao Industry and put both their names on the title. The dowry—no, it was more like a "bride price"—was double the usual amount.
The wedding would also be arranged by the Qin family. They paid attention to every detail, making sure everything was perfect. Finally, Shao Kang seemed satisfied.
At least the Qin family cared for his daughter, and that was something.
Zhouzhou quickly found Shao Shanshan and asked if she could be her maid of honor.
She had heard that being a maid of honor meant getting a red envelope, and she wasn't going to miss out on that opportunity.
She immediately began to plot her little scheme. If she couldn't snatch the "business," then she'd just join in on their business!
