Chapter 452 - 238: The Sister-in-Law Who Surpasses Her Sister

Qu Man heard that Qi Sheng had arrived, and with a beautiful woman in tow.

After finishing up her work, she had intended to come in and say hello.

But she was immediately pulled over by Qi Sheng for a unique kind of introduction to Gu Pan.

"Sister Manman, you’re so pretty!"

"You’re very pretty too. I hear you’re an actress?"

"Heh heh, I haven’t actually acted in anything yet. My husband is just bankrolling me."

"Don’t worry. Our husband has plenty of money. If this show bombs, there’ll be another one."

Hearing what the two women were saying, Qi Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He had no shortage of money, but his expenses were even greater!

The 900 million that had just come in this month was gone before he even had a chance to enjoy it, spent down to the very last penny.

Who would even believe that?

He had many profitable businesses, but they were all in their expansion phase.

It would be at least another year or two before they reached a stable, profitable period.

In the meantime, Qi Sheng could only survive on the rewards issued by the system.

’Sigh, being Chairman Qi is so hard.’

"By the way, where’s Ruirui?"

Qi Sheng had just called Zong Rui, but no one answered.

Qu Man said with a smile, "Oh, her? She’s out shopping with her sister."

"Her sister?"

Qi Sheng asked in surprise, "Since when did she have a sister?"

"You don’t know?"

Qu Man gave Qi Sheng a strange look, barely suppressing a laugh.

"Ruirui has a younger sister. She just took her college entrance exams this year. She got bored after staying at home for a while, so she came to Shanghai."

’Heh, that Ruirui... how dare she hide this from me?’

Qi Sheng really wanted to pull Zong Rui onto his lap and spank her bottom a hundred times.

Our Chairman Qi is definitely not the type of person to go after the younger sister after he’s done with the older one.

’What’s that? You’re bringing up the sisters, Qingqing and Chuchu?’

’Ahem, they’re twins.’

’The situation is different!’

...

Once the two women had freshened up, they were chatting and laughing in the living room.

It was then that Qi Sheng finally met the sister-in-law he’d never laid eyes on.

"Husband, when did you get here?"

When Zong Rui saw Qi Sheng, her heart dropped.

"Heh, I got here this afternoon."

Qi Sheng looked at Zong Rui with a half-smile, planning to deal with her later.

He turned to the fresh-faced young woman who bore a strong resemblance to Zong Rui and gave her a friendly smile.

"You must be Ruirui’s sister, right?"

"Hello, brother-in-law. I’m Zong Lin."

The shy way the pretty young woman called him ’brother-in-law’ was so sweet it almost made Qi Sheng grin from ear to ear.

He couldn’t help it; the student had surpassed the master.

Her older sister, Zong Rui, was already stunning, and the younger sister was just as impressive.

[Name: Zong Lin]

[Age: 18]

[Height: 172cm]

[Weight: 51kg]

[Appearance: 97]

[Figure: 97 (E)]

[Special: 100]

[Status: Normal]

[Affection: 30 (Friendly)]

[Overall Rating: S]

’A double 97, and she’s my own sister-in-law.’

’Good Lord, are you trying to test my self-control?’

"Husband, this must be Panpan?"

Noticing the look in Qi Sheng’s eyes, Zong Rui felt a sense of unease.

’Pulling Qu Man into this was one thing; they were best friends.’

’But she really couldn’t bring herself to drag her own sister into it.’

’Besides, her sister was only eighteen.’

’What kind of beast would go after a girl that young!’

"Hello, Sister Ruirui. I’m Gu Pan, currently a new actress."

When Gu Pan saw Zong Rui’s magnificent assets, she instantly felt a little insecure.

’Qu Man was already outrageously well-endowed.’

’I didn’t expect Zong Rui to be even more so!’

’Wait, that fresh-faced girl next to her is just as amazing as Sister Qu Man.’

’And she’s Sister Rui’s actual sister.’

’Oh my god!’

’This sister duo is even more stunning than Qingqing and Chuchu!’

At this thought, Gu Pan started to worry.

’Zong Rui and Qu Man already had all the advantages, securing the number two position.’

’Now with Zong Lin added to the mix, what chance did the rest of them have?’

"Hello, hello. No wonder the sisters in Chengdu all said you were pretty. They said you were just a tiny bit less so than Manman, but I think you two are neck and neck."

Zong Rui had high emotional intelligence, and her praise made Gu Pan beam with delight.

"Not at all, Sister Qu Man is much prettier than me."

"Sister Ruirui, your figure is amazing. I’m so envious."

After complimenting the two of them, Gu Pan looked at Zong Lin curiously.

"So, you just finished your college entrance exams?"

"Mhm, hello, Sister Panpan. I applied to the Shanghai Theatre Academy’s acting program and I’ve already been accepted."

Zong Lin answered Gu Pan sweetly.

She had a very good impression of this beautiful upperclassman who was in the same major.

"What a coincidence! Your brother-in-law is a huge investor in the entertainment industry, you know!"

"Have your sister help you fight for some resources. You might become a top star before you even graduate."

Gu Pan glanced at Qi Sheng with a mischievous smile.

’Knowing a certain someone like she did, it’d be a miracle if he didn’t get any funny ideas about his new sister-in-law.’

"This silly girl secretly applied to the Shanghai Theatre Academy. By the time I found out, she’d already been accepted."

Zong Rui poked Zong Lin’s forehead in annoyance, but her tone held a trace of pride.

"Husband, you really opened an entertainment company?"

Zong Rui didn’t want anything to happen between Qi Sheng and her sister.

But she also couldn’t bear to let her sister venture into the great swamp of the entertainment industry on her own.

If she could get Qi Sheng’s help, she could avoid many pitfalls.

"The show Panpan is about to join is invested in by my company."

"Also, I have an animated film coming out at the end of the month. You should all go and show some support."

Qi Sheng said casually.

Zong Lin was suddenly filled with awe for her brother-in-law.

’No wonder my sister fell for him!’

’He’s ridiculously handsome, not to mention his terrifying wealth.’

Bringing your own funding to join a cast was something Zong Lin had only heard of happening with actresses from powerful backgrounds.

She never expected that Sister Panpan, whom she had just met, also enjoyed such an enviable privilege.

"Husband, why don’t you talk to Sister Lin and have her arrange a role for Linlin?"

Gu Pan had a sudden flash of inspiration and made a suggestion.

"Is that possible?"

Zong Lin’s eyes instantly lit up; naturally, she wanted this opportunity too.

"Sis~"

Zong Lin was too shy to act cute with Qi Sheng, but she shook her sister’s arm.

"Alright, I’ll think about it."

Zong Rui hesitated, unable to bear rejecting her sister, whose eyes were full of expectation.

"You silly girl, always making things difficult for your sister!"

Zong Rui pulled Qi Sheng into Qu Man’s suite.

’She couldn’t possibly try to sweet-talk Qi Sheng in front of her little sister.’

"Husband, I was wrong, please don’t be angry~"

The moment Zong Rui entered the room, she decisively surrendered and apologized.

"Oh?"

Qi Sheng said with his half-smile, "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"I shouldn’t have hidden the thing about Linlin from you. If you want to hit me, then hit me!"

Zong Rui’s original plan was to have her sister get into a teacher’s college.

Then after graduation, she could become a teacher.

She never in a million years expected the girl to apply for an acting major.

With this girl’s looks and figure alone...

...even a blind teacher at the Shanghai Theatre Academy wouldn’t reject her.

Now, her sister wanted to make a living as an actress.

Without the backing of a powerful investor like Qi Sheng...

...she’d be eaten alive by the wolves of the entertainment industry in minutes, with not even the scraps left over.

For her sister’s future, she, the older sister, had no choice but to feed her own body to the tiger.

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!

The incessant slapping sent ripples across her buttocks.

Qi Sheng quickly made Zong Rui feel the full extent of his anger.

When his anger was spent, Qi Sheng held the gasping Zong Rui, a hint of tender affection in his eyes.

"I’ll let it go this time. But if you hide things from me like this again, you’ll see how I deal with you."

"Mhm, I won’t dare to again."

Zong Rui looked at Qi Sheng pitifully.

Her body was covered in either hickeys or bruises.

"I’ll have Lin Meishan personally manage Linlin. She’s managing Gu Pan, too."

"She’s a top agent in the industry. She’s very capable and has groomed several popular young actresses."

Qi Sheng lit a cigar and laid out his plan as he smoked.

"Mhm, I’ll listen to whatever you say."

Zong Rui was well aware of how dangerous her sister’s level of beauty could be.

Without Qi Sheng to protect her, she would sooner or later be assimilated by the industry.

She had even, in her heart, prepared for the worst-case scenario.

’In the end, it would just mean serving this man, Qi Sheng, together, just like the sisters Qingqing and Chuchu.’

However, Zong Rui still hoped her sister could choose for herself.

If Zong Lin really did fall for Qi Sheng too...

...then she would have nothing left to worry about.

"As for *Thirty Years Old*, I’ll have Lin Meishan negotiate it."

"She’ll arrange a role for Linlin, but it won’t be a major part. Just consider it practice."

Qi Sheng fondly ’dribbled’ the balls, while Zong Rui focused on listening.

After they finished talking business, Zong Rui proactively mounted him.

Qi Sheng liked it best when she was like this, as it made it more convenient for him to ’dribble’ with both hands.

When the second round was over, Zong Rui was completely limp, like a puddle of mud.

The red marks and bruises all over her body told the tale of what a tragic and heroic older sister she was.

Qi Sheng, the villain of the piece, showered and changed his clothes.

He went up to the presidential suite to have dinner with his two girlfriends and his sister-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, where’s my sister?"

Zong Lin asked curiously, seeing Qi Sheng come up alone.

"She’s not feeling well, so she’s resting downstairs."

Qi Sheng said casually as he cut his steak.

"Then I’ll go down and check on her."

Feeling worried, Zong Lin quickly got up and ran downstairs.

"Don’t—"

Qi Sheng had just started to call out to Zong Lin, but the girl was already gone.

"What’s wrong?"

Qu Man asked, curious.

"It’s nothing. Let’s just eat."

Qi Sheng rubbed his nose. ’Can’t really blame me for this,’ he thought.

’Worst case, she’ll just get a little biology lesson.’

...

Zong Lin went downstairs. She remembered the password to Sister Qu Man’s room quite clearly.

BEEP.

After the door opened, Zong Lin stepped inside and closed it.

She saw the chaotic scene on the floor.

The clothes her sister had worn while shopping that afternoon...

...had been torn to shreds and were scattered carelessly on the floor.

"Manman?"

Zong Rui thought Qu Man had come down and called for help, her voice a little hoarse.

"Get me a bottle of water."

"Sis, here you go."

Zong Lin didn’t dare to delay and quickly grabbed a bottle of water and walked over.

"Ah?"

Zong Rui was stunned. She quickly pulled the blanket over her body, utterly mortified.

Her body was black and blue, covered in hickeys left by Qi Sheng.

To be seen like this by her own sister...

...it would be strange if Zong Rui, the older sister, wasn’t ashamed.

"Heh heh, brother-in-law is so mean."

Zong Lin’s eyes darted around as she asked gossipily, "Sis, are all of you in... that kind of relationship with brother-in-law?"

"You’re just a kid. Why are you asking about this stuff?"

Zong Rui irritably twisted open the cap and GULPED down the entire bottle of water.

"Hey, I’m not a kid anymore! I’m an adult!"

Zong Lin pouted and rolled her eyes at her sister, displeased.

’Except for my figure, which is slightly less developed than my sister’s...’

’...when it comes to looks, I’ve already surpassed her!’

"Linlin, do you think your sister is cheap?"

Zong Rui had previously asked Qu Man to hide their relationship, precisely because she was afraid of giving her sister a bad impression.

But she hadn’t expected Qi Sheng and Gu Pan to suddenly show up.

Now, there was no hiding it even if she wanted to.

"Of course not! You have no idea how proud Mom and Dad are of you!"

"My living expenses and tuition were all earned through your hard work, Sis!"

Zong Lin quickly hugged her sister and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Besides, brother-in-law is so handsome and so generous to you. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your relationship. The King of Gambling had several concubines, didn’t he?"

"Heh, your brother-in-law is much more impressive than the King of Gambling."

Thinking of that huge family of sisters, Zong Rui couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

"Huh?"

Zong Lin didn’t quite understand and looked at her sister in confusion.

"Forget it. It’s better if you don’t find out. Otherwise, we sisters really won’t be able to show our faces in public."

Zong Rui pinched her sister’s cheek. The feel of it was incredibly good.

The collagen in the 18-year-old’s skin made even her feel envious.

’Sigh, with a brother-in-law this perfect...’

’...it was hard for her not to worry that her sister would fall in love with the same man she had.’

’In any case, the worst outcome would just be them following Qi Sheng together.’

’And maybe, that would even be a good thing.’
