Chapter 1761: Chapter 1697 Change of Mind
As the knife-scarred man was about to turn and leave, Deng Qingjiang called him back, "Scar, listen carefully, be cautious, don’t let her find out, don’t startle the snake. Otherwise, if you ruin my plans, don’t expect to get a penny."
"Got it, Brother Deng, don’t worry. We’ll just make sure to keep our distance."
The knife-scarred man pushed open the door and left. Only then did Chen Kaijin co in holding a cup of tea, having been making red tea in the living room.
Deng Qingjiang looked up at her and gave a disdainful smirk, but imdiately hid it when she glanced over.
"Qingjiang, you’re always hanging out with these people. Aren’t you worried sothing might happen? That knife-scarred guy looks like a money-grubber, definitely no good."
Chen Kaijin placed the tea in front of him and sat down across from him in a chair.
"What do you know? We’ve just arrived in the Capital City and are unfamiliar with the place; we have to find a local to help us. It’s good he’s money-hungry because as long as we pay, it’s not a problem. What’s really frightening are those who don’t even care about money." Deng Qingjiang said indifferently, picking up the tea with his left hand and taking a small sip.
He imdiately frowned.
"This tea is too astringent." He put the teacup down and frowned again, saying, "Didn’t I tell you to buy Ye Guangqu?"
"I wanted to buy it, but I have no idea where to find it. I’ve been to many tea shops, and they all said they can’t source that kind of tea. This tea is actually quite good, eight yuan for a tael, not cheap. What’s so good about that Ye Guangqu? It’s over a thousand for a tael. How much would it cost to drink it every day?"
Deng Qingjiang glanced at her, sowhat disdainfully.
When he was pursuing her, he found Chen Kaijin beautiful, a city girl whose family owned a lumber store. Marrying her was a rare opportunity.
But over the years, he had been making progress and aiming higher while Chen Kaijin hadn’t improved at all. Instead, as she aged, she seed more rustic and nagging, short-sighted, fussing about money like an old woman.
She was far less alluring than Ye Wanqing, who brightened up at the sight of clothes, shoes, and jewelry he bought her.
Girls like that were vibrant and charming, and he was willing to spend money on them.
The net had been cast long enough, and it was ti to reel it in. But he hadn’t managed to win her over yet, despite all the investnt.
Deng Qingjiang wasn’t interested in saying more to Chen Kaijin and rely said, "Money is never about saving; it’s about earning."
Otherwise, what was he doing in the Capital?
"That’s easy to say, but spending recklessly isn’t good, is it? Look, how long have we been in the Capital? Renting factories, renting storefronts, renovating, hiring workers, buying materials, even buying this house—all of this has cost a fortune. Watching the money flow away like water every day, aren’t you even a little bit worried?"
"Aren’t these investnts? They’ll pay off in the future. You can’t expect to make money without giving anything. Where would you find such an easy path?"
"Qingjiang, tell , hadn’t we agreed to go to City M before? Why did you suddenly change your mind and decide to co to the Capital?"
This was sothing Chen Kaijin just couldn’t understand.
"Think about it, even though we missed the chance for that house in City M, our parents certainly have ways to make money there."
