Seeing Qin Qi lost for words, Tang Xueli grew anxious. She kept gesturing with her mouth at Qin Qi, fists clenched tightly as a sign of encouragement.

Hinting that Qin Qi shouldn't be easily defeated by Jiang Lin!

But Qin Qi was feeling quite helpless at the moment.

No matter how he heard it, it all seemed like what Jiang Lin said made sense...

With a faint, seemingly indifferent smile on her lips, Jiang Lin exuded an air of elegance and grace.

"Do you think what Auntie said makes sense?" Jiang Lin's beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Qi.

Qin Qi responded, "What Auntie said makes a lot of sense!"

Standing in the corner, Tang Xueli was dumbfounded at this, baring her teeth at Qin Qi and raising her fists. Her eyes were filled with questioning looks, wondering what Qin Qi meant.

Qin Qi shrugged, feeling troubled inside.

However, since he had already given his word, there was no way he would give up halfway.

Jiang Lin's offensive continued. She spoke softly, "For you to think what Auntie said makes sense means you are a sensible child. So, from now on, you should stop seeing Xueli. Auntie will be very grateful!"

At this, Qin Qi gently shook his head, "Aunt Jiang, you misunderstood what I meant!"

Jiang Lin narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a flicker of puzzlement flashing through her gaze.

She couldn't understand what Qin Qi truly meant.

Qin Qi smiled and said, "Auntie, you care so much for Xueli, and I have nothing to say about that. But if I were to give up on Xueli just like that, I'd be letting Xueli down for choosing me as her boyfriend and even more so myself!"

"If my love life were shattered by just a few words from Auntie, I wouldn't even be able to respect myself in the future, let alone anyone else."

Tang Xueli, who had been feeling disheartened and thinking Qin Qi was not reliable at all, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this from Qin Qi.

She gave Qin Qi a look, indicating he did well!

Jiang Lin heard this and chuckled softly.

Her laugh was like flowers blooming, exceptionally beautiful, "So, everything Auntie just said was in vain?"

"Not in vain, I just wanted to tell Auntie that I want to fight for it, so at least after trying, I would have no regrets about this relationship!" Qin Qi said with a serious expression.

At this moment, Jiang Lin's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Qin Qi's response didn't seem to reflect the immaturity of a typical young person in love. His answer was rather mature, to the point it left Jiang Lin unable to find any flaw.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but slightly curve her lips into an elegant, delightful smile, "So how do you plan to fight for it?"

"Give me half a year!"

Qin Qi seriously said, "During this half year, please don't interfere in matters between Tang Xueli and me. If within this half year I can't change your mind, then I will not bother Xueli anymore!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Lin's interest grew, her tone carrying a hint of disdain, "Your bold words do sound interesting, but what if Auntie doesn't agree?"

"If you don't agree with him, I'll elope with him!" Tang Xueli immediately stood beside Qin Qi, linking her arm with his.

Jiang Lin did not panic; instead, she quietly stared at Tang Xueli, her presence exerting a strong oppressive aura.

"Xueli, are you really defying your mom's words now?"

Tang Xueli shivered and couldn't help but step back a bit.

It was evident that she usually feared her in this household.

Behind Jiang Lin's gentle elegance was someone who always had the final say!

But after much consideration, she bit her lip and stepped forward, her determined expression clearly conveying her stance.

Seeing Tang Xueli's demeanor, Jiang Lin showed no signs of anger and remained gentle as always.

She smiled warmly, "Alright, Auntie agrees with you. However, only for half a year. During this time, I won't interfere in your relationship, but Auntie has one condition!"

"Don't go overboard. After half a year, if your actions can't change my mind, I hope you will keep your promise!"

Qin Qi patted his chest as a guarantee, "Rest assured, Auntie, I absolutely keep my word!"

"Hmm, good!" Jiang Lin said with a smile, "Auntie can see that you're a good kid!"

Qin Qi always felt a natural sense of pressure sitting with Jiang Lin.

He hadn't touched his tea at all and stood up, "Auntie, it's getting late today. I shall be going now!"

"I'll see him off!" Tang Xueli immediately followed closely behind.

Jiang Lin did not intervene, silently observing the direction Qin Qi and Tang Xueli departed.

Soon, a butler-like elder, approaching sixty years old, came up behind Jiang Lin, "Madam, I've investigated this boy's background. It's as ordinary as can be! Even the host family he is staying with, the father, only runs a small company!"

"Is it necessary for you to make such a bet with him?"

Jiang Lin gracefully stood up, her purple cheongsam accentuating her figure in full detail, flawless.

Especially her curvaceous figure, which seemed ready to burst out of the cheongsam.

She gently replied, "From this boy's demeanor and conduct, he's not a fool. So he should know that my plan to marry Xueli into the Huang family has been set in motion and is absolutely unchangeable!"

"Then why are you...?" the old butler asked in confusion, "This matter involves the interests of the group!"

With a smile blossoming like a flower, Jiang Lin said, "That's why I'm even more curious about what means he will use to make me change my mind!" "Besides, it's rare for Xueli to be stubborn for once. If she doesn't lose heart through this six-month period, how would she willingly agree to marry into the Huang family!"

Meanwhile, Tang Xueli escorted Qin Qi to the exit of the estate.

Outside, Tang Xueli cautiously looked around before pulling Qin Qi to a spot with no surveillance.

"Hey, Qin Qi, do you really have a way to make my mom change her mind within half a year? What method is it? Hurry, tell me!" Tang Xueli pursued inquisitively.

Qin Qi scratched his head, feeling a bit hesitant to speak.

Seeing Qin Qi silent, Tang Xueli exclaimed, "Oh come on, why are you being mysterious!"

Watching Qin Qi reluctant to speak.

Tang Xueli grew increasingly suspicious, her gaze fixated on Qin Qi, "Hey, Qin Qi, you aren't planning to seduce my mom, are you?"

Qin Qi shivered all over, coughing several times in shock.

How did this little girl guess so accurately?

His only skill indeed lay in his ability to charm women. Aside from that, what other means could he use to change Jiang Lin's mind?

Just as he was about to argue with Tang Xueli.

To his surprise, Tang Xueli raised her eyebrows and snorted softly, "Just as I thought, you guys, the moment you see my beautiful mom, start dreaming of a mother-daughter duo, right! Qin Qi, you really are greedy. Having me and Bai Ying'er isn't enough for you!"

Qin Qi immediately tried to explain, "Xueli, it's not what you think..."

However, Tang Xueli lightly curled her lips, looking amused rather than angry, "Don't rush to defend yourself. Actually, as long as you can get my mom to change her mind, even seducing her isn't out of the question!"
