บท 1824: Study Hard

"How hard is it to find out about that small issue of yours? Tell me honestly, why do you want to go into business?" Qiao Mei asked.

"I… I… I just want to buy a house and get married soon…" Xiang Chen said shyly.

Qiao Mei looked at Xiang Chen in surprise. She had thought that Xiang Chen was only interested in Qian'e on a whim. She did not expect this kid to be serious about it!

"It's not like Aunt and Uncle-in-law are short of money. They will definitely be able to buy you a house when you get married and also help you with the betrothal gifts. They won't shortchange the lady. There's really no need for you to go out and earn money," Qiao Mei said.

"That won't happen! My parents definitely will not agree to this marriage. I have to be self-reliant!" Xiang Chen said.

"Don't… don't tell me the person you like is Qian'e?" Qiao Mei probed.
