Luo Yang was out of reach, and Qiao Zai Shui was about to unbuckle her seatbelt to smack him.
Just then, Qiao Yousi called again, and Qiao Zai Shui answered the phone.
All she could hear was Qiao Yousi asking curiously, "Haven't you guys arrived yet?"
Qiao Zai Shui laughed and said, "Sister, we'll be there soon."
Seeing Luo Yang's mischievous smile, Qiao Zai Shui hated that she couldn't give him a good thrashing.
"Niu Zai, by helping us, did you ever think about what you would want in return?" Qiao Zai Shui suddenly asked.
After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
The Qiao Family Sisters had privately discussed this but couldn't figure out what Luo Yang might want.
If it was a debt of a few thousand yuan, Luo Yang not minding could be plausible.
But the amount they owed Wang Yunxiong was substantial.
No ordinary person would just help them pay it off without an ulterior motive.
Actually, Luo Yang was still a teenager, valuing loyalty and emotional connections.
Since the Shuang Qiao were Chen Jie's elder cousins, he didn't think too much about it.
Of course, helping the Shuang Qiao wasn't entirely for free—he just hadn't made it as clear.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "I do."
Qiao Zai Shui batted her eyes and, seeing Luo Yang about to blow smoke her way again, she grabbed her purse to hit him, but he quickly exhaled the smoke out the car window instead, laughing.
"Do you want our company?" Qiao Zai Shui probed.
Their company was so far in debt that giving it to Luo Yang would be more a burden than a benefit.
Smiling, Luo Yang replied, "No need for the company. Later on, you can all work for me. Little Sister Qiao, I really hadn't thought about wanting you to repay me with anything—except maybe to work for me for life."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zai Shui gave him an amused, exasperated look.
The idea of working off the debt had been mentioned before by both parties.
Yet, without a contract, it all relied on the Qiao Family Sisters' integrity.
If the Shuang Qiao were unwilling, Luo Yang couldn't force them to work.
Qiao Zai Shui said bluntly, "Niu Zai, aren't you worried that we'll go back on our word? That after you help us repay the debt, we won't work for you?"
Nodding, Luo Yang replied with a smile, "That'll be up to your conscience. When I make friends, I don't like to start by suspecting them of being bad people. I prefer to see my friends as good people first. Little Sister Qiao, if you choose not to honor your promise, there's nothing I can do."
Qiao Zai Shui was quite moved by these words.
"Niu Zai, I was just teasing you. As long as you handle the Wang Yunxiong issue for us, we'll definitely work to repay the money," Qiao Zai Shui said seriously.
"Why are your eyes red? Little Sister Qiao, you didn't get sand in them, did you?" Luo Yang joked.
Her eyes still had tears shimmering in them.
With a cold laugh, Qiao Zai Shui said with feigned annoyance, "Lucky guess, it's all because you blew smoke this way and made my eyes sting! You owe me money for this!"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand.
But Luo Yang blew another puff of smoke her way, and she swung her purse at him in retaliation.
Luo Yang drove towards Huaxing Biotech Company with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth.
After driving into the company courtyard, Qiao Zai Shui called her sister to come down.
A while later, Qiao Yousi came to the side of the car.
"You've been out for most of the day, did you get the other stuff?" Qiao Yousi asked.
"Not yet, let's go shopping together now," Luo Yang said.
At this point, Qiao Zai Shui was about to get out of the car.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Little Sister Qiao, just ride in my car."
Qiao Zai Shui chuckled, "How odd. Can't I ride in my sister's car?"
It was all because he didn't want Qiao Zai Shui telling Qiao Yousi about that embarrassing incident.
As her sister approached the car.
Qiao Yousi laughed and said, "Sister, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"
Qiao Zai Shui replied with a laugh, "Sister, I was going to tell you..."
Unexpectedly, Luo Yang pulled Qiao Zai Shui back into the car before she could finish, preventing her from speaking.
Qiao Yousi also wanted to hear what her sister had to say, so she came over to help her, but Luo Yang shoved her into the car as well.
