Reborn in the 1990s, I want my husband to live to be a hundred.

Chapter 82 This younger brother is truly beyond her ability to support.

Tian Yutong sensed the displeasure in Qin Yanlin's words. She immediately changed her tone and said, "Yanlin, I was thinking that the Xiangcheng project has just been signed, and the Chengdong project is almost finalized. This is a time when the company urgently needs money. Taking away two million at once might leave the company with insufficient working capital."

Yanlin, don't you understand my feelings for you? I so wish that everything goes smoothly for you, and that all your wishes come true.

Hearing Tian Yutong's words, Qin Yanlin felt relieved, and his tone softened. He explained gently, "I know the company urgently needs money, and I want to expand, so I need even more money. But my wife wants money, and if I don't give it to her, she'll make a scene."

The main issue is that her three children are on her side. If I don't give it to them, they might break off our relationship. I only have these three children, and I work hard to earn money for them. How can I be so petty with them? I'd rather give it to her first, and then I'll figure out a way to make money if the company needs it.

Oh, by the way, could you contact President Xu? I'd like to invite him to dinner tomorrow.

Tian Yutong agreed to everything, saw Qin Yanlin out, and immediately went to find Li Qiao.

"He wants to give that two million to his wife. His wife always asks for two million. If she keeps asking for so much, won't she ruin the company?" Tian Yutong was very unhappy.

“That’s his wife and son. The company belongs to both of them. If his wife wants money, can he refuse? You wouldn’t be stupid enough to say something to stop her, would you?” Li Qiao looked at Tian Yutong with a gloomy expression.

"I..." Tian Yutong wasn't stupid; otherwise, she wouldn't have changed the subject so quickly when talking to Qin Yanlin. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Of course not. I just think Qin Yanlin isn't as easy to deal with as we think, and he's very different from his family. I don't think he'll get a divorce." What Tian Yutong didn't finish saying was that she felt even if Qin Yanlin did get a divorce, he might not necessarily marry her.

This realization made her angry and panicked.

"Haste makes waste. You need to be patient. If you could control a man just by sleeping with him, what chance would he have for you? He and his wife already have three kids!" Li Qiao looked at Tian Yutong and guessed that she must have said something to upset Qin Yanlin. She couldn't help but curse the idiot in her heart.

"But his wife is already like that..."

"No matter what, she's still a mother of three!" Li Qiao interrupted Tian Yutong, saying impatiently, "Besides, you're young, but aren't there people younger than you? You're beautiful, but how many people are more beautiful than you?"

Sleeping with him only means you've gotten a little closer to him, and he's just casual with you; it doesn't mean you're that important to him.

"And isn't being closer all the good thing? Men are all driven by their lower instincts; if they can't have something, they'll put in a lot of effort, but once they get it, will they put in even more effort? If you upset him now, do you believe he'll kick you out tomorrow? You're so ignorant!"

"But didn't you tell me to go find him? Wasn't the point of finding him to stop him from taking the money?" Tian Yutong was scolded but didn't dare to scold back, though she was still resentful.

"I asked you to come here so you could subtly find out what he's going to do with the money, not to stop him!" Li Qiao sighed and softened her tone, saying, "Yutong, I was a little harsh with my words, please don't be offended, after all, I'm doing this for your own good."

If you truly want to become Mrs. Qin, you must be patient and never disobey him. Next, you need to show him more care and attention, try your best to gain his trust, and become his capable assistant. Only then will he value you, see you as special, and consider you important, thus giving you a chance.

"Mmm," Tian Yutong nodded obediently, as if she had been reminded.

“This is perfect! Those so-called successful men like women who are capable and obedient. Keep it up in the future,” Li Qiao said.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Sister Li."

"You're welcome. Call me Sister Li in private, but not in public."

......

After Tian Yutong left, a man came out of the room, looked at her retreating figure, stroked his chin, and said, "So? Did you manage to get any money?"

"President Qin plans to give his wife two million. That woman is quite lucky; her husband will give her two million if she wants it." Li Qiao's eyes showed envy.

"Two million?!" the man exclaimed.

"Why are you making such a fuss? How much less money did you spend than two million?" Li Qiao said irritably.

"You mean you're going to steal that woman?" the man asked, leaning closer.

"Bullshit! When will you ever use your brain?" Li Qiao slapped the man and said, "I've heard about his wife. She's really weird. Anyone who tries to get close to her either ends up in jail or gets shot. Plus, her relationship with Director Tian of the Public Security Bureau is ambiguous. If things go wrong, we could all get in trouble."

"This won't work, that won't work, what am I supposed to do? The debt collectors are blocking my way, I'm afraid they'll come looking for me in a couple of days!" The man's face was full of hostility.

"What are you going to do? You have the nerve to ask me what to do? I told you not to gamble, but you insisted on gambling anyway, and now look what's happened! What can I do? I might as well have the debt collectors chop off your hands and feet and leave you paralyzed at home to save trouble!"

"Sister, sister, sister, you can't abandon me! You're my only family. If you don't take care of me, I'll have no choice but to die!" The man tugged at Li Qiao's sleeve and pleaded softly.

"Oh dear, it's not that I don't want to take care of you, but you have to be more ambitious!" Li Qiao sighed heavily and continued, "Back then, our family had such a good life. Mom and Dad had jobs, and your sister and brother-in-law were very loving."

Now look what's happened! Your father died at work trying to pay off your debts, and the compensation money went to paying off your gambling debts.

Your mother was devastated and was hit by a car and died. You even used the compensation money to pay off your gambling debts.

That money your parents risked their lives for, and they used it to pay off your gambling debts!

"The house, everything in the house, my sister's money—everything was used to pay off your gambling debts. To pay off your gambling debts, your brother-in-law divorced me. Now I live like a ghost, like a ghost! Why did you gamble? Why did you gamble?!" Li Qiao said, wailing loudly.

"Sister, I promise, as long as I pay off this debt, I will never gamble again, never again, sister, you have to believe me!" Leo knelt down in front of Li Qiao with a thud.

Li Qiao didn't move. She felt too tired; she really couldn't support her younger brother anymore.

"Sister, please help me, you have to help me this time. I promise this is the last time, absolutely the last time, I swear! I swear, this is absolutely the last time!" Leo pleaded, kneeling down.

Li Qiao remained motionless. She thought of her husband, her daughter, and the happy days the three of them had shared.
