Chapter 299 Finding a Way Out

Chapter 299 Finding a Way Out

"Cousin, how could you make such a demand of Brother He? Look, Brother He left in anger." Chen Ying was secretly pleased, but on the surface, she seemed to strongly disagree with Chen Ting.

"He's gone, what's it to you?"

He Lin was here just now, and Chen Ting was thinking of breaking off the engagement, which is why she let Chen Ying talk nonsense.

Now that she's angered He Lin and driven him away, she's started arguing with Chen Ying.

Don't think she didn't see what her cousin was up to. She just had her eye on He Lin. I don't know what's wrong with this Chen family. They all want to be stepmothers.

"I, cousin, I was just concerned about you!" Chen Ying felt a little guilty, after all, she had tried to steal someone else's future husband in front of them.

But considering He Lin's future achievements, if she could marry him, she would be the one riding in his car from now on.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying perked up again. No, she had to break the two of them up.

"Cousin, I can tell you're not very satisfied with Brother He?"

"Brother He, why are you calling him so intimately? He's your future brother-in-law!" Chen Ting obviously understood what the other person meant, but she had no intention of letting Chen Ying marry He Lin; that was not a good place for her.

"Oh dear, cousin, aren't you two not married yet? Cousin, why do I feel like you're having second thoughts? You're not thinking of calling off the wedding, are you?" Perhaps Chen Ting's behavior was too obvious, because Chen Ying could see through her intentions.

Chen Ting wanted to call off the engagement, but this topic couldn't be brought up by her.

"Of course not, I just made a few extra requests. Is it abnormal for a young, unmarried woman like me, still a high school student, to make a few extra requests?"

What's that saying again? If you're going on a blind date and don't want the other person to like you, you should dress up beautifully, put on your best makeup, and carry your most expensive bag. On the contrary, if you look drab and disheveled, the other person might actually think you're a good match.

Chen Ting has this idea now: she wants to force He Lin to break off the engagement.

Don't say she's immoral; think about what He Lin's family did later, they weren't exactly immoral either.

Does she really intend to marry him, become a virtuous wife and loving mother, and ultimately gain a good reputation so that she can die without regrets?

You should know that the original owner was willing to give birth to even her own biological child for the sake of several stepchildren. In the end, those stepchildren went on to be filial to their own mother. What did the original owner get in return?

Therefore, Chen Ting definitely won't marry He Lin.

Chen Ying originally wanted to say that her cousin didn't know how successful He Lin would be in the future, but now she was making so many demands.

But then it suddenly dawned on her that it was good that her cousin had high standards. The more standards she had, the less likely the two of them would be together, and then she could take advantage of that.

In response, she smiled and chimed in, "Cousin, you're right. You're a high school student, almost a college student, so you should ask for more dowry. I think you shouldn't just ask Brother He for a watch; you should also ask for things like a radio and a sewing machine."

Chen Ting thought it made sense, and she clapped her hands, saying that it still needed to be less.

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that? It's such a waste for a young, unmarried woman like me to become a stepmother. No way, next time He Lin comes, I have to ask him for these things too. Really, thank goodness you reminded me, cousin."

Chen Ying nodded, but in his heart he was thinking: "Go ahead and ask for more. The more you ask, the more Brother He will disagree. Then I'll be the one riding in the car."

Chen Ting knew exactly what Chen Ying meant by instigating her; it was just that she happened to be planning the same thing.

Considering that the other person was her cousin, Chen Ting still gave her a hint.

"Being a stepmother isn't that simple. He Lin's three children are not easy to take care of, and there's also his mother. Things aren't as easy as they seem on the surface."

Upon hearing Chen Ting's words, Chen Ying thought of He Lin's children. His eldest son, like He Lin, became a famous entrepreneur and was even called "the nation's husband" by netizens. His second daughter became a big star, having acted in countless dramas and being called "the most beautiful actress." Even his youngest son was admitted to a prestigious university.

As for He Lin's mother, that old lady always praised Chen Ting online and was known as the "most beautiful mother-in-law".

This family's harmonious life has made many netizens envious, including Chen Ying.

Hearing her cousin say that, Chen Ying was extremely excited.

If it were her, she would definitely be the most beautiful daughter-in-law in the future, along with the glory of her stepsons and stepdaughters, her mother-in-law's praise, and most importantly, a big house and a car. Netizens will definitely envy her in the future.

Chen Ting glanced at the other person's expression and knew they hadn't listened to her.

She had said all she could; if the other party insisted on jumping into the pit, there was nothing she could do to stop them.

Having figured out how He Lin would make demands next time she came, Chen Ting ignored Chen Ying and went home.

She needs to think about what to do in this booming market.

"Why are you back again? Where's He Lin? Daughter, are you going to break off the engagement now?" Chen Tingniang was anxious. What would happen to her daughter's reputation if she broke off the engagement?

"Don't worry, Mother. I'm not that stupid. I just made a few more requests to discourage him. He left after that!"

After explaining briefly, Chen Ting went back to her room and lay down.

"Sigh, that brat, she's always coming up with something unexpected!" Although Chen's mother complained about her daughter, she still tried her best to help her think of a solution.

As Chen Ting lay in bed, her thoughts began to wander.

Logically speaking, going to Shenzhen at this time would be the best option, as it's a special economic zone where everything is cheap.

Making money by buying and selling at different prices—isn't that how most historical fiction novels started their businesses?

As for stocks, forgive Chen Ting for not knowing any specific time to buy or sell; she should just stick to running her small business.

Just as Chen Ting made the decision to go to Shenzhen to take a look, Lin Liuyi's book arrived.

She thought her cheat code from time travel had finally arrived, but when she opened it, she found it was a novel about superpowers and gambling on stones.

"Am I going to develop superpowers?"

Unfortunately, she tried several times until her eyes ached, but of course, she didn't have any X-ray vision ability.

"Sigh, so what's the meaning of this book?"

Chen Ting finally saw the tip. "Does this mean I have to tip to gain superpowers?"

She started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and finally found the more valuable item, which was the little leather shoes that He Lin had bought for her a few days ago.

Chen Ting certainly wouldn't have liked these little leather shoes. After all, she had bought those little leather shoes that cost several thousand yuan a pair in modern times, but in this era, these little leather shoes were quite expensive.

Chen Ting still remembers that He Lin seemed a little reluctant when he bought it for her.

"Okay! You're the one!"
