Rebirth: Daily Face Slaps - Chapter 267

“You bought another house?”

Sun Weiqi was genuinely surprised. He never thought Lin Mengting would have a hobby of buying houses.

“Is that a problem?!”

Lin Mengting glanced at Sun Weiqi and started counting on her fingers. She looked ready to scold him if he dared to disagree.

Sun Weiqi shook his head and said seriously, “I was just thinking, maybe I should buy a few houses too.”

“Oh?” Lin Mengting raised an eyebrow. Didn’t he already hand over all his private money to her? Where would Sun Weiqi get the money to buy houses? And not just one, but several!

“Ahem.” Sun Weiqi quickly sensed what she was thinking and smiled. “I have a few friends who started their own companies after leaving the military. I invested in some of them. A few days ago, I got a new dividend payment. That guy…”

Sun Weiqi’s expression softened a bit, “He doesn’t trust banks, so he keeps all his money in a safe. He even gives us our dividends in cash.”

Lin Mengting had heard of people like this and wasn’t too surprised. She was curious though. “How much money?”

“This time, not much, just around thirteen or fourteen thousand.” Sun Weiqi said it casually, but Lin Mengting felt envious.

“So much, and you call it ‘not much’!” Lin Mengting rolled her eyes, not hiding her disdain for Sun Weiqi’s privileged background.

“Do you know how much our company receptionist earns in a month? Or how much I, working so hard every day, can earn? And our managers, who are always on call, how much do they make? You’re someone who doesn’t appreciate what you have!”

“I’ll hand it over.” Sun Weiqi picked up a black briefcase and placed it in Lin Mengting’s arms, apologizing, “I can only get this money until the end of the year. After that, I’ll have to sell my shares. From then on, I’ll only have a small salary and bonus. You won’t mind, will you?”

With a loud thud, the briefcase fell to the ground. Lin Mengting was stunned, unable to believe that this guy was still trying to fool her. The bag was so heavy! It had to be more than just thirteen or fourteen thousand, maybe double that!

Before Lin Mengting could complain, Sun Weiqi lowered his head and apologized, “Mengting, I’m sorry. I just wanted to surprise you,” he said.

“And show you that I can support you and give you a good life! I got upset when those people stepped on you to get ahead!”

“…” Lin Mengting twitched her lips, not knowing what to say about this guy who changed moods faster than the weather.

Where was the silent, cold guy who didn’t care about anything?

Where was the ruthless person everyone was afraid of?

Why did it feel like a dog had eaten his tough persona?

“Mengting…” Sun Weiqi said quietly, “You promised that even if I earn less money in the future, you won’t get upset.”

“Sun Weiqi!” Lin Mengting called his name slowly, not believing that this seemingly simple but actually very clever guy didn’t understand what she meant.

“Mengting…” Seeing her getting angry, Sun Weiqi quickly explained, “My friend may be old-fashioned, but he has a bit of luck. Anything he invests in makes a lot of money quickly. So we, his friends, also benefit. Of course, only very close friends would lend a lot of money to invest in something uncertain. Getting rich together is a good thing, right? But we agreed to stop after three years.”

Lin Mengting quickly understood. After all, Sun Weiqi still planned to develop his career in the military, so he couldn’t get involved in business anymore.

Even though there were no regulations about this yet, someone like Sun Weiqi knew that changes were coming and prepared for them.

“I understand.” Lin Mengting smiled, reassuring Sun Weiqi, “Money doesn’t need to be a lot, just enough.”

As a modern woman, she didn’t need to rely on a man to support her. But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t accept financial control if her man offered it!

Especially a man like Sun Weiqi, who hadn’t even married her yet but had already handed over all his private savings. He was a rare find in today’s world!

In her past life, most of Lin Mengting’s colleagues managed their money separately and shared household expenses.

That was considered pretty good. Some women gave all their money for household use, while the men kept all their earnings for themselves.

It was like being a maid who handled everything inside and outside the home, only to be discarded when they got old.

Men often became unfaithful when they got rich!

“For me, you are the most important thing, always.”

There he goes, confessing again!

How could her beloved guy always do something so unexpected?

And yet, he loved her honesty!

However, speaking of honesty…

Sun Weiqi’s dark skin turned red, and his eyes avoided hers, as if he couldn’t look at her playful gaze.

But Lin Mengting could bet he had just thought of something he shouldn’t have! Otherwise, her back wouldn’t feel a sudden chill.

It was like she couldn’t escape from a big beast’s clutches, no matter how hard she tried.
