"You want money?" Chen Danou sized Su Tao up with a sneer. "Who knows what kind of lousy idea you're trying to sell. Demanding money for just a few words? You must be desperate."
Su Tao clenched her jaw. 'She's right. I *am* desperate for money.' She didn't have a single cent to her name. The Sun family guarded their money jealously and wouldn't let her near it. To leave, she needed cash.
"Aunt Liang." Su Tao pursed her lips and said to Chen Danou, "I know your family already sent a matchmaker to discuss a marriage with Su Qing, but she rejected you on the spot, didn't she? That's why you came to the Old Su Family—you were hoping they could help make the marriage happen. It's obvious your family is very eager to marry Su Qing. Since that's the case… your family wants Su Qing, and I want money. I help you get her, and you give me some money as thanks. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?"
