Chapter 118: True Fragrance
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Honorable Miss Su, the amount of Star Coins you deposited in our bank at 17:50 has reached the limit. We will dispatch staff to your residence tomorrow to handle the latest…”
“Wait!”
The young girl stopped midway through her lollipop.
What? The bank deposit amount reached the limit? What kind of obscure sentence was that? A scam call?
She suspiciously checked the number; it was indeed official.
“May I ask what the deposit limit is?”
“9,999,999,999 Star Coins.”
How much?
How much did you say?
“Who sent it?”
“According to the query, the remittance department belongs to the Qin Group.”
“…”
Before she had time to be surprised, the light brain of the Scientific Research Institute followed closely. It was from Professor Heller.
He was usually silent and serious, never cracking a smile at his subordinates, but now he was laughing so hard he couldn’t close his mouth. His words were full of praise for her.
“Researcher Su, I didn’t expect you to not only have outstanding ability but also be a hidden tycoon and a great philanthropist! The Institute is very proud and moved to have a talent like you. When the Institute’s history is rewritten next time, you will definitely be on the first page!”
“Why?”
“Why else? You’ve donated a building to the Institute! It’s in a prime location in Central City, over a hundred stories high. I heard the construction cost was nearly a hundred billion. With such a great achievement, I plan to hold a charity commendation meeting for you in the Institute. No, let’s hold it for a month…”
A building?
A hundred billion?
In her name?
It couldn’t be the Qin Group again, could it?
She was still processing it.
The Central Star National News Department suddenly released three pieces of good news in a row, announcing it to all beastmen in the world.
[Special thanks to the Qin Group for permanently providing all military supplies to the Central Galaxy for free, becoming the planet’s closest partner.]
The featured comments below were—
[Shocking! The supplies and Star Coins needed for a war start at a trillion. Poverty has limited my imagination; I knew nothing about the strength of the Interstellar’s top plutocracy.]
[Munitions are not something you can buy with Star Coins. In times of war, Star Coins are the least valuable thing. Did someone in Central Star save Qin Yanzhou’s life?]
“…”
Tens of billions, hundreds of billions, trillions.
Su Miantang was dazed by these astronomical figures being smashed into her.
Was the Qin family a Snow Leopard family or a Money Leopard family?
It seemed that she didn’t need to consider the request she promised Mrs. Qin Xu anymore. Since they had such determination, she could give it a try.
In the Goldchrysallis Palace, Count Brooklyn and Mrs. Qin Xu were also very surprised when they learned about their son’s grand gesture. They only took out a check for over a hundred million to ask Su Miantang to help treat his psychological illness, but their son’s move… was he trying to marry into Central Star?
His generosity was rewarded.
Soon, they received a message from Su Miantang. She agreed to the request and promised to do her best to help him, though she didn’t know what the result would be.
The couple smiled with relief. To them, no matter how many Star Coins they had, they were just empty numbers. They were worthless compared to their son’s health.
Mrs. Qin Xu happily contacted her, looking forward to their meeting soon.
“10:20 AM: High-level core backbone meeting of the group. 11:30 AM: Contract negotiations with Duke Benjamin of Planet Valen. 1:00 PM: Golf at Lingyun Yuefeng; Prince Henry made an appointment long ago…”
In the main hall, the butler reported the day’s itinerary.
Qin Yanzhou put on his gloves and prepared to depart. Before he could step out of the hall, he was blocked by Mrs. Qin Xu, who was walking toward him.
“Son.”
She walked over with a beaming smile, wanting to pull him, but he took an imperceptible step back and avoided her.
Her hand hung awkwardly in the air.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit sorrowful.
At first, Yanzhou was still willing to have contact with her, but as his condition became more serious, even she couldn’t touch him, even through gloves.
For a mother to be unable to touch her most beloved son—it was clear how painful it was.
Fortunately, a savior had appeared.
“Mother, is there something?”
“Yanzhou, are you going to work?”
“Mhm.”
“Work is never-ending. Push today’s itinerary back. I’ve recently met a very outstanding female; I’ll introduce her to you in a bit.”
The moment Qin Yanzhou heard the word “female,” his handsome brows knit tightly.
Over the years, she had gone to great lengths to find high-grade females in the Interstellar and bring them before him just to cure his condition.
But every one of them made him feel utterly disgusted, and each one made his resistance to the opposite sex even more severe. Yet she still hadn’t given up and continued to persist.
“I won’t see her.”
“Are you sure?”
Mrs. Qin Xu’s tone rose slightly, devoid of her usual earnest persuasion or tearful pleading.
“I am sure.”
From now on, regarding this matter, he wouldn’t even give her a shred of face.
“No matter who it is?”
“No matter who it is.”
“Then that’s a pity…”
Qin Yanzhou didn’t want to pay her any more attention and turned to leave.
Mrs. Qin Xu said leisurely behind him, “It’s a pity, since Miss Su Miantang is so outstanding…”
What?
Before he could react, a clear, cool, and melodious familiar voice came, making him look up almost instantly.
“Hi, Mr. Qin. We meet again.”
Outside the hall, the young girl’s loose black hair fell like a waterfall, partially framing her fair and beautiful small face. Her bright eyes were full of charm, her lips red and teeth white. She was no longer wearing her cold work uniform but a snowy-white, soft long dress. A simple ribbon outlined her slender and graceful figure to perfection.
Standing at the threshold, she looked like a holy jasmine flower bathed in radiant sunlight. She suddenly jumped into the cold hall and… into his heart. His pupils constricted, and he couldn’t look away for a single second.
It was her?
She actually came again.
Was it a hallucination?
A hallucination produced by missing her too much, just like in a dream.
“Miss Su Miantang, you’re here?”
Seeing her, Mrs. Qin Xu stepped forward happily to welcome her.
“Mhm. I’m here to deliver the new suppressant to Mr. Qin Yanzhou, but I just heard that he seems to have things to do…”
Before her voice could fade, the man immediately denied it. “I don’t!”
Mrs. Qin Xu was astonished.
Hearing about it was one thing; seeing it was another.
This was the first time she had seen her son staring so intently at a female, and the first time he had so excitedly and bluntly gone back on his word.
It was simply miraculous!
This made her even more certain that Miss Su was his savior.
The woman suppressed her excitement and took Su Miantang’s hand. “Yes, Yanzhou has very busy work today. He said no matter who it was, he…”
“Mother!”
His words were forcibly interrupted again.
Qin Yanzhou’s expression was forceful, but there was a hint of pleading in his dark eyes, hoping she wouldn’t say any more.
He didn’t know his mother’s guest was her.
Even more, he didn’t know she would be willing to come. He didn’t want to continue leaving a bad impression on her.
