    Chapter 178: After the Wealthy Lady Went Bankrupt 21 (Finale)

    Ren Xin utilized Mo Qiuyang’s connections to gather a vast array of items. Once her collection was nearly complete, she found herself with a significant amount of money left over. She figured she might as well do some good!

    She took a portion of the funds and donated it to primary schools in mountain villages, gave another portion to hospitals, and finally left everything that remained to orphanages.

    She was now, quite literally, penniless.

    Mo Qiuyang teased her, asking, “You just threw money away like dirt and donated it all. Don’t you feel any regret?”

    Ren Xin gave a cold snort. You have no idea—what I’m going to get in return is worth so much more.

    Book Spirit Number One hopped around in excitement. “Our Ginseng never lets the hawk fly until she sees the rabbit1!”

    “If you’re going to try to be cultured, could you at least use the idioms correctly?”

    “Mind your own business!”

    Ren Xin: “…” Look at you, getting all cocky!

    Watching his girlfriend’s grand act of righteousness, Mo Qiuyang took it a step further. He established a foundation in Ren Xin’s name. It didn’t accept donations from anyone in any form; he was the only one allowed to contribute.

    Ren Xin didn’t find it particularly romantic. She simply sighed at her own damn charm!

    She finally managed to drag Mo Qiuyang out for a stroll. As they walked slowly through the garden, he suddenly turned to her and said, “Shall we get married?”

    Ren Xin’s first thought was: This man must be after something of mine.

    Book Spirit Number One mocked her, “He’s after your silliness, he’s after your lust, and he’s after your extraordinary confidence despite being a total pauper.”

    Ren Xin: “…”

    Marriage, huh? She wasn’t particularly keen on the idea. How was it any different from being bound by a contract? Wouldn’t that mean she could only sleep with one person for the rest of her life?

    How terrifying!

    “You are the beneficiary of my insurance, the co-owner of my assets, and you are also my emergency contact.”

    Ren Xin lowered her voice and asked, “In other words, if you kick the bucket, I become an overnight billionaire?”

    Mo Qiuyang nodded. “You could put it that way.”

    “Then let’s get married! What are we waiting for? Will your parents have any objections? After all, I’m a Master. Will they feel like you’re not good enough for me and that you’re dragging me down?”

    Mo Qiuyang: “…” She’s definitely overthinking this.

    “As long as I actually get married, they won’t have any objections at all.”

    “Then let’s do it!”

    The union of Ren Xin and Mo Qiuyang truly shattered the worldviews of many, especially Zhan Tian. He asked tearfully, “So, do I keep calling you Big Sister and call Brother Mo ‘Brother-in-law,’ or do I call you ‘Sister-in-law’?”

    Ren Xin thought about it. “You can call me ‘Godmother.’ That way, you might actually change your fate and become rich overnight!”

    Zhan Tian: “???” There’s such a good deal?

    Mo Qiuyang immediately put a stop to it. “Let’s not. We want one of our own.”

    One of their own? That worked too!

    Mo Qiuyang’s parents were incredibly easy to get along with. They were warm toward Ren Xin while maintaining a respectful distance, and they were particularly curious about her status as a “mystic.”

    Mo’s mother asked with interest, “Can you really read fortunes? I don’t doubt you; I’m just genuinely curious.”

    Ren Xin nodded. “Auntie, would you like a reading?”

    Mo’s mother teased, “You two have already registered your marriage. Why call me Auntie? Just call me Mom!”

    Ren Xin followed the flow smoothly. “Then, Mom, would you like a reading?”

    “Yes, yes!”

    Ren Xin and Mo’s mother huddled together, whispering mysteriously. Ren Xin blabbered about everything, even exposing the “romantic encounters” Mo’s father had when he was young.

    By the time Mo Qiuyang’s parents were leaving, Ren Xin looked at him with sympathy. “There’s a high chance you’re about to become a child of a single-parent household.”

    Mo Qiuyang: “???”

    However badly Mo’s father was being punished at home was exactly how much extra workload Mo Qiuyang had to take on.

    Ren Xin was unhappy. They were newlyweds; if they weren’t working hard on making a baby, how could they have time for work? So, she called her mother-in-law, spoke about her recent “troubles,” and expressed her determination to conceive a honeymoon baby.

    Immediately after, Mo’s father was rushed back to the office to work.

    Mo Qiuyang was liberated.

    Ren Xin was smug. “See? It had to be me. With just a little scheme, you’ve made a clean getaway.”

    Mo Qiuyang: “…” Do you really not care if your father-in-law is healthy and happy?

    She didn’t care. Not at all!

    They married, held the wedding, conceived a child, the child grew up, and they grew old.

    “Mo Qiuyang, I’ve realized that the older you get, the more charming you become. I wasn’t even that into your type when I was young. I didn’t expect you to be such a growth stock.”

    Mo Qiuyang radiated the refined elegance that comes with the settling of years. He said with a smile, “Is that so? Well, I’m different. You have always been my ideal type!”

    Of course. A Ginseng was everyone’s ideal type.
