Chapter 25

I smiled slightly, but didn't speak. Instead, I picked her up. Yu Mei asked in surprise, "Why are you picking me up... Ah..." This "Ah" was because I placed her on top of Yu Yi. The strange feeling made her involuntarily let out a soft cry.

Looking at the two full and charming bodies embracing each other face to face, looking at the two full and charming little holes pressed tightly together, my eyes began to burn. I spread Yu Mei's snow-white thighs and slightly separated her snow-white buttocks. Then, my penis, still dripping with jade fluid, entered Yu Mei's honey hole, which was also dripping with jade fluid, with a ferocious look. Almost at the same time, Yu Yi and Yu Mei let out a soft cry: "Ah..." I chuckled inwardly and began to thrust vigorously with a mischievous glint in my eyes. The two immediately moaned continuously.

"Ah... Yu Lin... So good... Ah... Harder..." This was Yu Mei's voice. The fullness in her little hole made her smile from ear to ear.

"Ah... Yu Lin... This feels so strange... You naughty thing... You really know how to tease people..." This was Yu Yi's shy complaint, but it contained a hidden joy. She was only now realizing my intention.

Because her vagina and Yu Mei's vagina were tightly pressed together, when I was moving in and out of Yu Mei's vagina, my penis was also rubbing against her vagina. Although it wasn't as pleasurable as actual penetration, it could relieve her itch to some extent. Seeing the good effect, I was secretly delighted and moved my waist vigorously, and immediately the sound of slapping filled the room.

"Ah... You naughty thing... Harder... Sister Mei... You... Ah... No..." I took turns thrusting into the two women's vaginas, making the two women feel so good that they were intoxicated. They didn't know when they had involuntarily hugged each other tightly, their high breasts were also pressed together and rubbing against each other, and they even kissed each other involuntarily.

Seeing this lewd scene, my lust burned even brighter, and my thrusts became more rapid, like a pile driver, repeatedly plunging my thick penis into the two women's honeyed orifices.

"Uncle... I feel so uncomfortable too..." A delicate, naked body hugged me from behind. I didn't need to look to know it was Ruolan. Seeing this absurd scene between the three of us, she couldn't resist undressing and joining in. However, being sensible, she naturally wouldn't compete with her mother for my penis, so she could only rub her full breasts against my back to satisfy her craving. My God

, this stimulation is too intense! The two mature women in front of me had already made me feel like I was in heaven, and Ruolan's addition made me lose all sense of direction, so ecstatic that I lost all sense of time.

"Ah...I can't take it anymore...I'm going to come..." Under my relentless, storm-like thrusts, Yu Mei and Yu Yi both reached their climaxes. They clung tightly to each other, their bodies trembling as they released their pent-up desire. Almost simultaneously, I also erupted violently inside Yu Mei. Not only that, Ruolan also reached her climax at the same moment, collapsing limply onto me.

And so, Yu Mei lay on top of Yu Yi, while I lay on top of Yu Mei, with Ruolan on my back, like a human pyramid, layer upon layer.

"You naughty thing, you actually came up with this kind of wicked idea to torment us..." Yu Mei pinched my chest hard, making me almost scream in pain. When did the gentle and virtuous Yu Mei learn this ultimate move in "husband-taming techniques"? It seems the days ahead are going to be tough.

I winced in pain and couldn't help but mutter, "My goodness, I've worked so hard all day, I deserve some credit for my efforts, right? I don't deserve this kind of reward!" Seeing my embarrassing grimaces, Yu Yi and Ruolan couldn't help but giggle.

"Hmph, you're the one who's been behaving like a beast and humiliating us, and you still have the nerve to say you've worked hard?" Yu Mei pouted. She was a typical soft-hearted person with a sharp tongue, and even at this point, she wouldn't back down.

I cupped her beautiful face, flushed with the passion and satisfaction of our lovemaking, and kissed it deeply. Then, gazing tenderly into her watery eyes, I said sincerely, "Mei, I'm sorry. I was wrong this time. I didn't consider your feelings at all. Please forgive me."

Perhaps my expression was too serious, for Yu Mei seemed startled, staring at me blankly for a long while before bursting into laughter. She gently tapped my forehead with her delicate finger and said, "Little pervert, you got off easy this time." Then she sighed softly and said quietly, "Yu Lin, don't blame me for being nosy, but we're not stopping you from helping others. We just want you to know that you are our support. We don't want to see you put yourself in danger or even get hurt while helping others. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Yu Mei didn't mention the time I almost died protecting Cheng Yu Rong from a bullet, but I knew that incident still left a deep shadow in Yu Mei and the others' hearts. She didn't mention it not because she had forgotten, but because she was afraid to bring it up.

"Of course it's not excessive." I held Yu Mei's voluptuous body tightly, gazing at the three women beside me. "Mei, Yi, and Lan'er, I promise you, I will never make such a mistake again. I will never do anything that makes you worry because of momentary impulses. Ah Ling used to say that I was immature, that I was too extreme in my views, and that I was prone to impulsive actions. It seems I should change. Not for anything else, but for you all, I should be a responsible man. I want you to always be happy."

"Uncle Yu Lin, we believe you." The three women said in unison. Yu Mei kissed me on the cheek, then smiled shyly and said, "You little pervert, are you still not going to let me go? If Ya Shi and Ying Ying see this scene, we probably won't be able to eat dinner, hehe..."

"Huh, why are we having dumplings today?" When Ya Shi and Ying Ying came back, the house had returned to normal, but when they saw that dinner was frozen dumplings bought from the supermarket, their eyes widened. Although Ruolan was telling everyone about "Sihai Technology" at the dinner table, the two little girls seemed a bit distracted, glancing at me every now and then at the three girls whose faces were still beaming with happiness. They seemed to understand something.

Ya Shi was alright, just keeping her lips pursed and giggling. But Ying Ying was quite mischievous. With a wicked grin, she sniffed around the room like a puppy, then ran up to Yu Mei and the other two and sniffed us vigorously, making Yu Mei and the other two girls very embarrassed. Then she announced to the three girls, whose faces were as red as peach blossoms, "Hehe, so you guys sneaked a bite while Shi Jie and I were away. Now I declare that tonight Dad belongs to Shi Jie and me. But, hehe, if you can't resist joining in, I won't object. I just don't know if Dad can handle it, hehe..." Hearing the little girl's words, I fell off my chair with a thud.

Several days passed quickly, and it was already the end of April. The weather was getting hotter, and the summer atmosphere was growing stronger.

During my first week taking over Sihai Company, I spent most of my time with Ruolan at the office. Seeing Ruolan and Yijing gradually transform from initial nervousness, excitement, and awkwardness to composure, calmness, and experience, I felt relieved. After a deep conversation with the two women, I handed the company over completely to them.

This conversation with Ruolan and Yijing mainly concerned the company's future development direction and some of my ideas. I don't know if I was being too far-fetched or if they lacked imagination, but after hearing my ideas, Ruolan and Yijing both stared at me with looks of utter disbelief, which made me both annoyed and amused.

Although I had completely handed Sihai Company over to Ruolan and Yijing, I didn't rest. I still devoted a lot of energy to the stock market. Internationally, I focused on the Japanese and American stock markets; domestically, I focused on several stocks related to Shiyuan Group and Tenglong Group.

My interest in Tenglong Group's stock stems from my complicated relationship with the Mei family, while my interest in Shiyuan Group's stock is driven by my long-held determination to teach the Xu family an unforgettable lesson in the stock market. Knowing your enemy is the key to victory, so understanding your opponent's situation is essential.

Spending all day immersed in the stock market and stocks can get a bit tedious. I have my own tricks for relieving stress, but they surprised Yu Mei and the others by discovering that when I wasn't looking at stocks, I was actually studying Go game records. Of

course, I'm not cut out to be a Go player, but I've always been interested in Go. After exploring the fascinating field of computers, and inspired by the immense success of even a stock market guru, I decided to try using my mathematical skills to study the mysteries hidden within Go.

Ancient Chinese Taoist philosophy states, "The Tao gives birth to Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give birth to all things." The computer world is a wondrous world created by the binary numbers 0 and 1. Similarly, the black and white stones in Go reveal a magnificent world full of wisdom and philosophy, making me marvel at the wonder of the world and the magic of the Creator. This is the source of my interest and motivation for research.

On the afternoon of April 27th, after analyzing the stock market, I was comfortably lounging on the sofa reading Lao Nie's "Nine Chapters of My Life" when I suddenly received a call from Attorney Fang. It turned out the procuratorate had finally approved the application for bail for Cheng Yurong: "Mr. Liu, I'm going to the procuratorate right away to complete the necessary procedures. Would you like to come with me?"

"No, Attorney Fang, I have other things to do, so I won't go. I'll leave this to you, Attorney Fang," I replied after thinking for a moment. In the past, I would have agreed without hesitation, but now I've started to restrain my behavior. Although I've never had any ill intentions towards Cheng Yurong, I still didn't want to arouse unnecessary suspicion from Yu Mei and the others.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true that I seemed to have been a bit too enthusiastic about Cheng Yurong's affairs before. Putting aside the time I took a bullet for her, this time I lost my dignity as a man in front of Jiang Ruixiang for her sake. Even my beloved Shuling never experienced this kind of sacrifice, so it's no wonder Yu Mei and the others were dissatisfied.

Someone once said that love isn't a book you can keep on your bookshelf for fifty years without it spoiling; love is a plant that needs watering and care. It takes a lot of patience for someone to water the same plant every day.

Indeed, love requires careful cultivation. Jiang Ruixiang's situation has made me more mindful. If the women in my family harbor resentment towards me, it's definitely my fault, because the tolerance shown by Yu Mei and the others is already incredibly valuable. If I'm still not satisfied and cause them displeasure, then I'll be unforgivable. Therefore, I've been focusing on self-cultivation lately, temporarily putting aside the matters of Liang Wanqing and the Mei family.

After ending my call with Attorney Fang, I fell into deep thought. Since the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team arrived in QH City, although there hasn't been any action from the provincial level, QH City Party Secretary Huang XX was quickly placed under investigation, and today Cheng Yurong's application for bail was approved. Everything seems to be developing in a positive direction.

I wasn't surprised at all that Huang XX was being investigated, because I already knew from the information on that CD that it was an inevitable result. Under China's current political system, it's almost inevitable that both the municipal party committee and the municipal government would be corrupt at the same time, as was the case in QH City. Even when Chen Xitong was the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, he couldn't escape it.

In the evening, when Yu Mei came home from work, she brought back an expected guest, Cheng Yu Rong, who had just regained her freedom. She seemed to be in a good mood after being released from prison, with a faint smile on her beautiful face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with us, Yu Mei got up and went to the kitchen: "You two can chat slowly, I'll go prepare dinner."

"Yu Lin, thank you, I'm so grateful to you this time..." After Yu Mei went into the kitchen, Cheng Yu Rong looked at me and thanked me again. I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I felt that there was something strange in the way she looked at me.

Although I had warned Yu Mei and the others, I couldn't guarantee they wouldn't tell Cheng Yurong what had happened between Jiang Ruixiang and me, because I knew very well that women might say anything when they were talking privately.

Shaking my head to clear my mind of these thoughts, I smiled and interrupted Cheng Yurong, "Sister, didn't you already thank me? Hearing these kinds of things too often can be uncomfortable. Let's talk about something else." Cheng Yurong gave me a deep look and then stopped talking. I asked hesitantly, "Sister, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team has been in QH City for a while now, but why hasn't the province made a move?"

Cheng Yurong smiled slightly and said, "Yulin, aren't you being a little too impatient? This case involves so many people and so many officials. How can the investigation team not be cautious? Just be patient. A case like this will take at least a few months to be fully investigated. Just wait and see; those who act recklessly will definitely be punished."

"Oh, sister, you still seem quite confident." I looked at Cheng Yurong with some surprise and asked with a smile, "Didn't this incident affect you at all? Weren't you completely unaffected?"

Hearing my words, Cheng Yurong gave a bitter smile and shook her head, saying, "To say it didn't affect me would be self-deception. It's like a cat trying to catch a mouse but getting tricked by it. That feeling of defeat is really unpleasant. To be honest, I've never been so embarrassed before. Investigating a case, I ended up in a detention center. If it weren't for your special relationship with the Mei family, I probably would have been doomed. This painful lesson will stay with me for life."

"Then why were you so confident in the investigation team just now? Aren't you afraid that a similar incident will happen again?"

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? There are always dark corners in this world where the sun doesn't shine, and similarly, there are places that are always filled with sunlight and never shrouded in darkness. I don't believe that those corrupt officials can really cover up everything, or rather, I don't want to believe that they can. If even the people in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection are controlled and bribed by them, then our Party and our country will truly have no hope. I think this is something no one with a conscience would want to see."

Cheng Yurong's words were somewhat heavy. From her words, I could tell that she wasn't really as confident as she appeared. Perhaps her own setbacks this time had made her more aware of the seriousness of official corruption.

"Oh, by the way, sister, who exactly is that old man who took the CD from my hand? Does he have some connection with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? Otherwise, why would the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's investigation team arrive in QH City so quickly?" Seeing Cheng Yurong's worried expression, I suddenly remembered a question that had always intrigued me.

“Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. I didn’t have a chance to tell you about him last time. His surname is Qin, and he was a good friend of my father’s. I always called him Uncle Qin.” Cheng Yurong gently tossed her head, brushing the hair that had fallen over her forehead and covered her eyes behind her ear. It was a very natural and ordinary little gesture, but when performed by such a beautiful and mature woman, it was incredibly graceful, making my eyes light up. Perhaps noticing my gaze, Cheng Yurong suddenly smiled at me, a smile that startled me again.

“Yulin, do you think my older sister is pretty?” Cheng Yurong suddenly asked me with a smile. I nodded somewhat blankly and said, “Pretty.”

As soon as the words left my mouth, I suddenly snapped out of my daze, my face instantly burning as if I had a fever. I glanced uneasily towards the kitchen, inwardly blaming myself. Why was I so susceptible to beautiful women? I had seen beautiful women before, so why was I still so easily bewitched by their beauty?

"Yu Lin, are you afraid of Yu Mei?" As if she could read my mind, Cheng Yu Rong smiled knowingly and asked me in a low voice. I quickly regained my composure and said seriously, "Big sister, don't joke around. By the way, you weren't finished speaking. Who exactly is this Uncle Qin you mentioned?"

Cheng Yurong glanced at me with a hint of disappointment, then replied seriously, "Actually, you guessed correctly. Uncle Qin does have some connections with the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). Before he retired, he served as the CCDI's deputy secretary. To be honest, my involvement in the CCDI was largely influenced by him. The fact that the CCDI investigation team arrived so quickly this time is certainly due to his personal influence, but the most important thing is that CD you got from the Mei family that can be used as evidence. These corrupt officials nowadays are becoming more and more cunning, and their methods of committing crimes are becoming more and more covert. It's really not easy to catch them red-handed. Take that guy in the province, for example. He's a typical example of 'the father is a powerful official, and the son makes money'—family-style corruption. If we don't start with his son, it's almost impossible to find evidence of his crimes."

"Yes," I said, deeply agreeing. "The devil is always one step ahead of the saint." How many corrupt officials would be foolish enough to directly accept bribes these days? No one in this world doesn't love money, but there's an old Chinese saying, "A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way." If one amasses wealth through improper means, or even by harming others, then that's taking a risk and going mad.

Although I'm now considered quite wealthy, for many years I was truly poor. I've envied others' wealth, but I've never felt resentful because of my own poverty, except towards those corrupt officials who reap without sowing.

I think many ordinary people who hate corrupt officials share my sentiment. The reason we hate them so much is because these beasts embezzle and squander the fruits of the hard work of millions of ordinary people like us, and that's precisely what makes it intolerable.

I once saw some information online about corrupt officials from mainland China who have absconded with embezzled funds in recent years. I don't know how accurate that information is, but even if only 10% of it is true, the corruption it reveals is still shocking. But as much as we hate them, what can ordinary people like us do against those powerful officials? It's frustrating just thinking about it.

"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Yurong asked curiously, startling me from my reverie, seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time. Shaking my head to temporarily put aside my unpleasant thoughts, I said calmly, "Oh, I wasn't thinking about anything. By the way, sister, how's the investigation going with your case? When can you be reinstated?"

"I don't know, it probably won't be soon. After all, the decision to suspend me was made by the provincial party committee. I'm afraid there's no hope of being reinstated until the whole case is fully investigated." Cheng Yurong didn't seem too bothered by her dismissal and expulsion from the party. She smiled faintly and said, "That's fine. I've always been busy with work and rarely had a break. This is just a long vacation for myself."

"Sister, you're really open-minded." I said with some admiration. Cheng Yurong has quite a broad mind. If it were someone else in this situation, they would probably be depressed to death. Cheng Yurong smiled and shook her head, saying with some emotion, "Life is full of disappointments, and you have to be able to accept it. These past few days I've been thinking about what exactly has corrupted the souls of our Party cadres, making corruption rampant in officialdom, impossible to eradicate, and even more rampant the more it's suppressed? If we only look for the cause in greed, it obviously doesn't fully explain the problem. Moreover, I also can't understand why those officials who should be bringing blessings to their communities pay far more attention to the moods of their superiors than to the hardships of their subordinates and the people they serve?"

“Sister, do you really not understand? I think you're just unwilling to face reality.” Addressing Cheng Yurong's doubts, I pointed out the crux of the matter: “Under China's current political system, this situation is almost inevitable. Absolute power without oversight and checks and balances inevitably leads to absolute corruption, and the blurring of party and government lines makes the rights and obligations of government officials unclear. How can you expect officials to have a high level of awareness and conscientiously fulfill their responsibilities under such circumstances? Think about what Wu Guanzheng, the Secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, has been saying lately: 'Treat the masses well.' Don't you find that ridiculous, sister? If an official can't even treat the people under his jurisdiction well, can he be considered a qualified official? But now, Chinese officials need to be emphasized by their superiors even for this most basic point. Isn't that a very sad thing?”

“Yulin, isn’t what you’re saying a bit too extreme? I admit you have a point, but isn’t the situation improving? Recently, the media reported on the resignations of the county head of Miyun County in Beijing and the general manager of Sinopec, among others. This shows that our government is transforming into a responsible government.” Cheng Yurong didn’t seem to fully agree with my point of view, using the recent media attention on “resignation” to refute me. It seems that even while detained, she was still keeping up with the latest current events. “

Sister, I don’t know what to say to you. I don’t know if you’re ‘unable to see the true face of Mount Lu because you’re in the mountain yourself,’ or if you’re just deceiving yourself and unwilling to face reality.” I shook my head with a sigh and said, “Sister, let me ask you a question: Is the top leader of QH City the Party Secretary Huang XX or the Mayor Zhou XX?”

“Of course, it’s the one surnamed Huang.” Cheng Yurong answered somewhat confusedly. She clearly hadn’t figured out why I was asking such a question that even a three-year-old could answer. I nodded and continued, "But according to the Constitution, local people's governments at all levels are the executive organs of the local state power organs. If we look at the original intent of the Constitution, Mayor Zhou XX should undoubtedly be the top leader of QH City. Then, let me ask you, who is Party Secretary Huang XX? What makes him the top leader of QH City?"

Cheng Yurong fell silent. I think she understood what I meant at this point. I think it wasn't just her; perhaps almost every Chinese person was used to this phenomenon and even considered it natural. No one was willing to think about whether there was anything unreasonable about it.

"Sister, I think you understand what I mean. The root of the problem is the lack of clarity regarding the responsibilities and powers of Party and government leaders." Seeing Cheng Yurong deep in thought, I continued, "Take your earlier point about resigning to take responsibility, for example. Almost all the media outlets are praising it, but I think it's too early to start praising it now. Let's put aside the question of whether resigning to take responsibility might lead to things like using it to evade criminal liability. Let's stick to the facts. Sister, let me ask you, everyone knows that the Party Secretary of Miyun County and the Party Secretary of Sinopec are the real top leaders, so why aren't they the ones who resigned? You might say they hold Party positions, but everyone knows they are the ones with the most power. Yet they aren't required to bear the responsibilities corresponding to their power. Sister, isn't that ridiculous?"

“Yu Lin, I understand what you mean.” Cheng Yu Rong pondered for a long time, then nodded solemnly and said, “What you said really hit the nail on the head. If someone who has power is not required to bear the corresponding responsibility, then he is very likely not exercising the power he has seriously and earnestly. This is really terrifying.”

“Sister, that’s not all that’s scary.” I nodded and continued, “What’s even scarier is that their power isn’t granted by the organs of power stipulated by national law (the National People’s Congress). This means that apart from the limited oversight mechanisms within the Party, their actions are completely unsupervised and unrestrained, and of course, they bear almost no responsibility. The Party Secretary of Miyun County and the Party Secretary of Sinopec, as I just mentioned, are two living examples. Of course, you can cite as many examples as you want. Take last year’s SARS outbreak in Beijing, for instance. Meng Xuenong, the then mayor of Beijing, was dismissed on the spot, but Liu Qi, the then Party Secretary, is still firmly in office. Sister, tell me, who gave these secretaries absolute power that is almost unsupervised and unrestrained, and who gave them a ‘get-out-of-jail-free card’ so they can avoid responsibility?”

Cheng Yurong was speechless. Of course, she couldn’t answer, or perhaps she didn’t want to, because everyone on Earth knows the answer to this question, but she just couldn’t bring herself to say it. After a long silence, she looked up at me and said, “Yulin, if that’s what you’re saying, then isn’t there no hope?”

"There is hope, of course, but change is necessary." I got up and walked to the window, gazing at the white clouds on the horizon, and sighed, "To fundamentally change the status quo, we must start with the system. Some say it's all the fault of the one-party system, but I believe the key isn't whether it's a one-party or multi-party system, but rather that the will of one party must never be placed above the will of the government and the people. If that's not done, then talking about 'several representations,' 'internal party supervision regulations,' or 'several guidelines for clean governance' is all nonsense."

"Yulin, your ideas are really bold." Cheng Yurong got up and walked to my side, smiling bitterly at me, "However, I have to admit that you see this issue more deeply and clearly than I do, which makes me feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Looking back now, when I joined the Discipline Inspection Commission, my thoughts were actually very simple: every time I caught a corrupt official, there would be one less corrupt official in the world. But after hearing what you said today, I suddenly doubt whether all my hard work over the years has really been meaningful?"

"Of course it has significance, but not as much as one might imagine." I turned to look at Cheng Yurong's beautiful face and said softly, "It's precisely because of people like you that corrupt officials dare not act recklessly in public, and that those officials who want to be corrupt think twice before reaching out their evil hands. How can you say that it has no significance? However, if we think that we can eradicate corruption simply by increasing the intensity of anti-corruption efforts, without intending to solve the problem at its root, then eradicating corruption will inevitably be a pipe dream."

"Hehe, you're right." Cheng Yurong smiled faintly and said, "However, this is still quite different from my initial belief when I joined the Discipline Inspection Commission. It seems I should reflect on my work over the years. To be honest, today's conversation with you has really given me a lot to think about. I had heard from Yumei and the others that you often made some cynical remarks, and today I witnessed it firsthand. However, I don't think you're cynical at all; on the contrary, I think you're somewhat like a wise person who understands the ways of the world."

"A wise man? Sister, you flatter me too much. I'm not Dongfang Hui." I said with a wry smile, "I'm just a commoner who can only grumble occasionally. I have no power to change or influence anything. I can only grumble and vent my emotions occasionally."

Turning her head and giving me a deep look, Cheng Yurong sighed and said, "Yulin, you're too pessimistic. Although each of us has very little power, that's not an excuse for us to stand aside. You should be more proactive." Too pessimistic? Perhaps she's right. Man proposes, God disposes. Maybe anything really can happen in this world.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why do you all look so miserable?" Yumei, wearing an apron around her waist, came out of the kitchen, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and asked curiously. Cheng Yurong glanced at me and replied with a smile, "Oh, we were talking about officialdom and corruption. Yulin even gave a long, insightful speech."

"What insightful speech could he possibly have? Just grumbling," Yumei, who seemed to know me inside and out, scoffed dismissively, though her assessment was quite accurate. Ignoring my wry smile, Yumei smiled at Cheng Yurong and said, "Sister Rong, really, you can't stop talking about your job. It's a typical occupational hazard. Why can't you just relax a bit?"

"Sigh, maybe I'm just born to be a workaholic," Cheng Yurong said with a faint smile tinged with bitterness and melancholy. It's understandable that a woman like her, whose husband has been gone for many years and who lacks solace, pours most of her energy into her work as a way to cope with her emotional turmoil. Hearing Cheng Yurong say this, Yumei gave me a strange look and then sighed as well. My heart skipped a beat under Yumei's gaze; I had a vague feeling of unease, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.

"Alright, Yumei, let's not talk about this anymore. Let me help you prepare dinner." Seeing the slightly tense atmosphere, Cheng Yurong quickly changed the subject with a smile. Yumei was about to decline, but Cheng Yurong cut her off with an undeniable tone: "Yumei, are you implying I'm a guest? If you really treat me like a guest, then I won't dare to come to your house again." Hearing Cheng Yurong say this, Yumei had nothing more to say, and the two women chatted and laughed as they walked into the kitchen.

"Dad, I'm home!" Yingying dropped her schoolbag as soon as she entered the door and jumped into my arms, giving me a loud kiss. I was startled and quickly pushed her away, lowering my voice as I said, "Don't be silly, your Aunt Rong is here." Yingying was also startled and stuck out her tongue shyly. I glared at her, annoyed, and asked, "Why are you back so early today?" "

Oh, Sister Yuqing drove me back. She and Sister Shi are behind me. I'm going to the kitchen to see Aunt Rong first." Yingying sneakily kissed me on the cheek before I noticed, then darted into the kitchen with a giggle. "This mischievous little girl," I thought with a wry smile, touching the spot on my face where she'd been kissed. But fate didn't give me much time to ponder, because I saw Yashi and Mei Yuqing walk in one after the other. Having learned my lesson from Yingying, I preemptively said before Yashi could pounce on me, "Yashi, you're back! Go see Aunt Rong!"

"Oh, Aunt Rong is out?" Yashi seemed happy to hear this, but she didn't seem to realize it at all. She pounced on me and kissed me on the cheek before giggling and running into the kitchen, leaving me both amused and exasperated. However, compared to the two young girls, Mei Yuqing, who stood before me with a somewhat gloomy expression, gave me a bigger headache. I greeted her with a wry smile, "Yuqing, what brings you here?"

"How could I not come?" Mei Yuqing replied irritably, glancing at the kitchen where laughter was constantly coming from, before plopping down opposite me and looking at me with a rather resentful expression. "You never come to see us. If I didn't come, you'd probably forget about Mom and me completely, wouldn't you?"

"You sound like a resentful woman in her boudoir. What I mean is, didn't you just come to see us a couple of days ago? If you're busy, you don't need to keep coming here." I said with a wry smile, touching my nose. Since the last incident, although I hadn't been to the Mei family's house, Mei Yuqing had been coming here every few days. The Mei family was quite tolerant of her, greeting her with smiles and seeing her off with smiles. If I hadn't warned them not to interfere in the matters between Mei Yuqing and me, they probably would have continued to meddle.

However, the superficial harmony couldn't mask the deeper problems. Although Yu Mei and the others were friendly to Mei Yuqing, I knew they still harbored resentment towards Jiang Ruixiang. This was evident from the fact that Yu Mei and the others never mentioned Jiang Ruixiang in front of Mei Yuqing. This was truly a headache for me. Because I was mindful of Yu Mei and the others' feelings, I couldn't be too accommodating to Jiang Ruixiang.

I hadn't visited her during this time, and I suspected she was also dissatisfied with me. But it wasn't entirely my fault; she was largely responsible for things getting to this point. If I were to indulge her further, it would only add fuel to the fire, causing even greater dissatisfaction from Yu Mei and the others, and things would only get worse. As the saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Whether I could gain Yu Mei and the others' understanding depended on Jiang Ruixiang's own attitude.

Compared to the complicated relationship between Jiang Ruixiang and me, my relationship with Mei Yuqing seemed simpler. Although I was forced to agree to marry Mei Yuqing in order to obtain the disc from Jiang Ruixiang, this didn't significantly affect my relationship with Mei Yuqing.

Although Mei Yuqing is a very beautiful girl, I don't feel any romantic feelings for her at all, so marriage is out of the question. Deep down, I most want to marry Yumei and her daughter Ruolan, but fate has played a cruel trick on me, and this selfish wish of mine may not come true.

My not marrying Mei Yuqing now doesn't necessarily mean I've broken my promise, because the conditions I agreed to with Jiang Ruixiang didn't include a time limit, and Mei Yuqing just turned nineteen last month, still a year shy of the legal marriage age.

Because of these factors, I'm not in a hurry to change the current relationship between Mei Yuqing and me, which is somewhere between ordinary friends and boyfriend and girlfriend. Mei Yuqing herself is well aware of this; she understands perfectly well that if I can't truly accept her emotionally, then even if I fulfill my promise and marry her, it won't be the outcome she truly desires.

Therefore, although she occasionally reminds me jokingly not to forget my promise to marry her, she has never put any pressure on me, and she never mentions it in front of Yumei and the others. It can be said that her intelligence and cleverness have won her the favor of Yumei and the others; in this respect, her flirtatious and promiscuous mother is far inferior.

"If you don't welcome me, just say so! Why beat around the bush?!" Mei Yuqing glanced at the bustling kitchen again, pursed her lips, and said, "I saw through you a long time ago. You're only after that DVD, aren't you? Now that your 'beauty' has finally been rescued, and Mom and I are no longer of any use, you just want to kick us aside, don't you?"

"Nonsense," I retorted angrily in a low voice, while glaring fiercely at Mei Yuqing. What "my beauty"? If Cheng Yurong heard this, who knows what she would think?

Mei Yuqing snorted, clearly unconvinced, and said, "Why are you glaring at me? Are you angry because I hit a nerve? You men are all like this, always wanting more than you have. No wonder people describe your philandering with phrases like 'a pretty girl by your side, a slutty one in your arms, a capable one at home, and even in old age, you'll still have someone who knows about health.'"

Mei Yuqing's words left me speechless. I never expected her to say such a thing. Seeing me staring at her blankly, she snorted again and lowered her voice, saying, "Don't forget, you promised my mother you'd take care of her. You wouldn't just eat your fill and then abandon her, would you?"

"Eat my fill?" I said, both amused and exasperated. I really didn't know what was wrong with Mei Yuqing today, why she kept saying things like that.

Mei Yuqing rolled her eyes at me, annoyed, and retorted, "Am I wrong? If you hadn't tasted the sweetness, would you have gone so crazy that day? My mother was bedridden for two days after you made her recover, and you're still pretending to be innocent?"

I was completely stunned. I couldn't believe she could say something so ambiguous. My thick-skinned face flushed, and she, still a virgin, was even less so. After saying those words, her pretty face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

Luckily, the two girls and the two adults were talking and laughing loudly in the kitchen. Otherwise, if they had heard us, being laughed at would have been secondary; the main concern was that Yuqing and the others might have had other ideas.

"I really didn't expect you to be so shameless." After a long while, I finally reacted, shaking my head and smiling bitterly, "Did your mother teach you to come and confront me?" I felt that Mei Yuqing's reaction today was a bit off, as if someone had told her to say those things on purpose, and the most suspicious person was, of course, her flirtatious mother, Jiang Ruixiang.

“My skin isn’t as thick as yours,” Mei Yuqing muttered softly, her face flushed, then shook her head. “My mom didn’t teach me to say these things to you. She has her own ways of venting her frustrations.”

Huh? I was taken aback, staring blankly at Mei Yuqing’s delicate face, waiting for her to continue. A strange smile appeared on Mei Yuqing’s face. As if trying to suppress her laughter, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly, “My mom hung a dartboard on the wall and pasted your picture on it, then practiced darts there every day… Hehe, who told you not to even look at her?”

“What? She used me as a target for dart practice?” My voice suddenly rose. This slutty little vixen, just wait until I get my hands on you, I thought through gritted teeth.

I hadn't visited her during this time, partly to give her a chance. I had hoped she would come to me herself, humbly seeking Yu Mei and the others' understanding and forgiveness. It seems I was being too wishful. She clearly has no self-reflection whatsoever; all my efforts have been wasted. How could I not be angry?

Perhaps my voice was too loud, for the women chatting and laughing in the kitchen were all drawn over. Yingying walked up to me, tilted her head, and looked at me with curiosity, saying, "Dad, what are you and Sister Yuqing talking about? Why does it look like you're smoking?" Before I could react, she added with admiration, "But Dad, the way you look with smoke on your head is really cool!"

"Pfft!" Unable to bear the little girl's infatuated expression, I immediately collapsed. Yu Mei and the other women couldn't help but burst into laughter, their bodies trembling, a dazzling display of breasts and hips.

"You…you…why are you here?" Seeing me standing at the door, Liang Wanqing was so surprised she almost stammered.

While she was lost in thought, I took a closer look at her. Two months had passed, and she seemed much thinner, her face looking somewhat haggard. It seemed she hadn't been happy lately, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. I thought to myself, "What a stubborn and proud woman! She'd rather bear all the pain alone than lower herself. What's the point?"

Today was the afternoon of the last day of the May Day holiday. The May Day holiday is supposed to be a great opportunity for travel and vacation, but all the women in my family disliked the crowds and didn't want to join the fun, so we didn't go anywhere. Of course, I didn't have any free time either. These past few days I've been accompanying a group of women shopping. Everyone knows that for women, shopping is just a means to an end; the real goal is a shopping spree. This has been a real hardship for me, their free laborer and walking wallet.

Besides the women in my family and Cheng Yurong, who was invited by Yumei and the others, Jia Ni, Xiao Yan, Mei Yuqing, and Zhang Yijing, the girls of all ages, have also been hanging out with us these past few days. They certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to fleece me. Dealing with one woman is troublesome enough, let alone a group of them! It's overwhelming.

Of course, it's not that I'm worried about my wallet; I just can't stand their tireless pace and near-frenzied shopping spree.

Men usually plan what they want beforehand, head straight to their target in the store, and leave immediately afterward. Women, on the other hand, are the opposite. They usually don't have a specific goal, just wander around the store, and buy whatever catches their eye, whether useful or not. So, I often find myself standing outside the store for two or three hours. Any man who's experienced this knows how painful it is. Finally,

today, these women let me go, but their attitude towards my wallet is unacceptable. They actually kicked me out of the house under the pretext of having a women's conversation, leaving me unable to return home! Is there no justice in this world?

These past few days, my relationship with Jiang Ruixiang has remained in a state of cold war. Although this is quite different from my previous attitude towards women, for the long-term sake of family harmony, I haven't given in to the still unrepentant Jiang Ruixiang, and I've hardened my heart and haven't visited her even once.

I know very well that if I give in to Jiang Ruixiang too much, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from Yu Mei and the others, thus creating hidden dangers for future harmonious relations—a situation I absolutely do not want to see.

The initiative is now in Jiang Ruixiang's hands. If she could lower her pride and gain Yu Mei and the others' understanding with a humble attitude, all the unpleasantness would disappear. However, what disappoints and angers me is that Jiang Ruixiang shows no remorse whatsoever. On the contrary, she often puts pressure on me through Mei Yuqing, which only increases my dissatisfaction with her.

Unlike Jiang Ruixiang, Liang Wanqing and I are in a different situation. Although Liang Wanqing has consistently refused Yu Mei and the others' kind invitations, and I haven't visited her since my forced kiss with her, the situation between us is still very different from the cold war between Jiang Ruixiang and me.

The biggest difference wasn't that Jiang Ruixiang and I had already had a physical encounter, but rather the completely different attitudes I and the women in my family had towards the two women. I actively wanted to bring Liang Wanqing into my world, while my feelings for Jiang Ruixiang were more of a forced choice. The women in my family were quite dissatisfied with Jiang Ruixiang, but were very enthusiastic about bringing Liang Wanqing into our family.

I hadn't originally intended to see Liang Wanqing today, because I didn't want to upset Yu Mei and the others so much because of another woman, right after the unpleasantness they felt because of Jiang Ruixiang. But as Yu Mei was pushing me out the door, she quietly said to me, "Yu Lin, go see Wanqing. I heard from Xiao Yan that she's been very unhappy lately. You should try to comfort her, and maybe even 'eat' her up, hehe. Don't worry, we won't get jealous..."

Hearing Yu Mei's words, I really did go to see Liang Wanqing. I had actually wanted to see her for a while, but because of what happened with Cheng Yurong and Jiang Ruixiang, I had completely lost the desire to steal a kiss for a while.

I think Yu Mei and the others probably felt that Liang Wanqing shared similar life experiences with them and belonged to the same category of people. Therefore, based on empathy and compassion, they gave the green light to my relationship with Liang Wanqing. On the contrary, Jiang Ruixiang gave them the impression of a high-class rich lady, especially since Jiang Ruixiang had done such a terrible thing to me. Therefore, they couldn't accept Jiang Ruixiang as a member of our family.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Liang Wanqing stared at me blankly, her face expressionless, making it impossible for me to guess what she was thinking. Seeing that she had no intention of inviting me in, and remembering Yu Mei's instructions, I had no choice but to shamelessly ask her myself.

Liang Wanqing glanced at me expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Come in." Then she stepped aside to let me into the house, closed the door behind her, and followed me in, saying casually, "Sit down, would you like something to drink?"

"Plain water is fine." While Liang Wanqing poured me water, I looked around at the room's layout, which seemed no different from what I had seen when I last visited her house. To be honest, Liang Wanqing's calm and collected reaction left me completely bewildered. I couldn't tell if she was interested in me or not.

Recent events at home had made me wary, and on the way here, I decided to have a serious talk with Liang Wanqing today and put an end to it completely. Although I secretly hoped that Liang Wanqing could become my woman, if she really wasn't willing, I didn't want to force her. After all, forced relationships are never sweet, and I already have enough women to deal with; why force another woman who doesn't want to be with me?

After silently placing the water glass in front of me, Liang Wanqing sat down opposite me and silently drank her own water. The oppressive silence made me feel uneasy. I picked up my water glass and took a small sip, stealing a glance at Liang Wanqing across from me, who stood with her head bowed. I said softly, "Sister Qing, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

"Mr. Liu, please have some self-respect. I'll pretend what happened last time never occurred, but please don't say things like that again."

Liang Wanqing's righteous and stern attitude made me feel incredibly frustrated. I smiled bitterly, thinking to myself, "Does she really have no feelings for me at all?" But giving up on her like this felt too unwilling. After thinking for a moment, I forced a smile and said, "Sister Qing, why are you so aloof? I'm just concerned about you. I heard from Xiaoyan that you've been very unhappy lately..."

"I don't need your fake concern. What business is it of yours whether I'm happy or not? You're nobody to me, you have no right to interfere in my affairs. If you want to interfere, go and bother your own women." Liang Wanqing's icy attitude froze the smile on my face. It's unbearable to be met with such indifference, and even with my good temper, I couldn't tolerate Liang Wanqing's almost unreasonable attitude. Besides, her words had offended Yu Mei and the others, and my anger flared up instantly.

"What's wrong with you? You're taking kindness for granted! It's utterly unreasonable! If I'd known it would be like this, I wouldn't have bothered with you." With that, I got up to leave. If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. I came here full of joy, but she treated me like this. I came with high hopes, only to leave disappointed.

"That's your own business, I didn't ask you to." Liang Wanqing jumped up from her chair, looking at me coldly. "Liu Yulin, I'll tell you again, my affairs are none of your concern, and you shouldn't expect to get anything from me. Do you think I can't see through your hypocrisy and despicable intentions? Do you think you can buy my heart with a mere 80,000 yuan? Let me tell you, don't dream. I, Liang Wanqing, won't be as cheap as Liu Yuyi. She willingly let you play with her for a few tens of thousands of yuan, even sacrificing her own daughter. But I won't."

"Fine, fine, well said." I laughed angrily, my anger erupting like a volcano. Seeing Liang Wanqing's proud head and cold face, my heart was deeply pierced. I did force a kiss on you, but that was my fault. Were Yuyi and the others wrong too? Did their concern for you deserve such humiliation? The grief and anger in my heart made me lose control of my emotions, and I raised my hand and slapped myself.

"Liu Yulin, Liu Yulin, how could you be so damn despicable? Why the hell did you have to meddle in other people's business? You meddle, fine, but why did you have to be so presumptuous? A toad trying to eat swan meat, you've brought shame upon yourself, and who can you blame?"

The moment I slapped myself, I thought I saw Liang Wanqing's face change drastically, but I had no heart to care about her anymore, and I didn't even want to look at her anymore.

I bowed deeply to her, my heart ashen, and said, "I'm so sorry, noble and beautiful Miss Liang. I sincerely apologize for the trouble my past actions have caused you. However, I believe that you, being so magnanimous, will not hold a grudge against a despicable person like me, right? You can also rest assured that I will not bother you again. Although I, Liu Yulin, am lowly, I would never offer my kindness to someone who treats me coldly. I'm sorry, I'll take my leave."

I didn't want to stay here for another second, so after saying that, I turned and walked towards the door without even looking at Liang Wanqing's expression. In that instant, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. Finally, it was all over, but the way it ended was something I never expected. Hmph, I couldn't help but shake my head, my heart filled with bitterness and anger.

"You... wait... wait a minute..." Just as my hand was on the doorknob, Liang Wanqing's slightly hurried voice suddenly came from behind me.

I stopped, but didn't turn around. I snorted and sneered, "What's wrong? Not satisfied with my humiliation? Do you want me to kneel and kowtow before you, with your great magnanimity, will forgive this despicable and shameless person?"

"Yu Lin...you...I...I'm sorry..."

I couldn't see Liang Wanqing's expression, but I could hear the sob in her voice. Unfortunately, blinded by anger, I had no pity left. I sneered, "Sorry? This despicable and shameless person doesn't deserve it. You have nothing to apologize for either. It's all my own fault." I felt that staying any longer would be torture, and I desperately needed to vent my anger.

"Yu Lin...don't go..." I turned the doorknob to open the door, but Liang Wanqing rushed up and hugged my waist. If she had done this when I first arrived, I would have laughed my head off. But now, I'm utterly despondent. Liang Wanqing's words were so hurtful; I still feel a sharp pain in my heart.

Although Liang Wanqing's petite and delicate body was pressed tightly against my back through her thin clothes, it felt almost like a corpse against my skin—incredibly uncomfortable. I impatiently shouted, "What are you doing? Let go of me!" My anger had made me lose control. I think any man in my situation would feel the same way, unless he's impotent.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Don't go..." Liang Wanqing's voice completely turned into a sob, and at the same time, a chill suddenly ran down my spine. Were those her tears? Hmph, finally resorting to her signature womanly tactics of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide? Too bad, I'm now as hard as iron, and I won't be easily moved by a woman's tears anymore. I sneered inwardly.

I didn't know why Liang Wanqing's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically, but I didn't want to think about it anymore. I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, to leave this place that had caused me so much pain. "Let go! If you don't let go, I won't be polite."

"I won't let go...I won't let you go..." Liang Wanqing clung to me tightly.

Her behavior didn't evoke my sympathy; instead, it fueled my anger and disgust. I said impatiently, "Incomprehensible." Almost simultaneously, I jerked my arms back forcefully. Although Liang Wanqing clung tightly to my waist, her petite frame was no match for my daily qigong practice. She cried out "Ouch!" and was thrown to the ground.

Although my anger had almost driven me mad, and although I had no other choice, a grown man resorting to violence against a weak woman crossed my line, even though this woman had just cruelly wounded my heart.

I quickly glanced back and saw Liang Wanqing sprawled on the floor in front of the sofa, seemingly unharmed. I felt relieved. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Liang Wanqing's tear-streaked, sorrowful face was deeply imprinted in my mind. I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "If she wasn't completely heartless, why did she have to stab me in the heart like that? Liang Wanqing, it seems we are destined to be apart."

"You asked for it," I said coldly, shaking my head to banish the last trace of hesitation. I reached out and turned the doorknob. As long as I crossed this threshold, everything would be over, that was my thought as I stepped out the door. Scenes from my interactions with Liang Wanqing flashed through my mind like a movie. Our once beautiful encounter now seemed more like a soap opera, and I was the unfortunate male protagonist in it.

"Yu Lin... please... don't go... what I said just now wasn't my true feeling..." Liang Wanqing's pleading voice behind me made me hesitate for a moment, but only for a moment. Finally, I stepped out without hesitation. Whether it was true or false, I didn't care anymore; I just wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible.

A loud "thud" came from behind me, followed by Liang Wanqing's extremely painful scream. That scream made me pull back my leg, which had already stepped forward but hadn't yet touched the ground, and my head involuntarily turned backward.

Liang Wanqing fell face-down to the ground in extreme pain. Clearly, she had tripped over the leg of the coffee table next to the sofa while trying to get up and chase me, causing her to fall heavily. Seeing her tear-streaked face, distorted by pain, her teeth clenched so tightly her lips were almost bleeding, and her brows furrowed, her expression one of utter agony, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy. However, her words had hurt me deeply, so I steeled myself and stood by the door without moving.
(10-27

Chapter 26)

Liang Wanqing, her eyes blurred with tears, tried to get up with her hands on the ground, but failed. I could see that she seemed to have twisted her left ankle. Liang Wanqing gritted her teeth and tried several more times, but the pain in her leg rendered all her efforts futile; she still couldn't get up from the ground. Seeing me standing by the door, coldly watching her, my gaze as if I were a stranger, her heart sank to the bottom. She knew everything was beyond saving. In an instant, she felt utterly hopeless, and

her spirit collapsed. Tears streamed down her face as she frantically pounded the ground, hysterically screaming, "Go away! Why aren't you leaving? I beg you, please go! Let me fend for myself..." Her cries were like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, heartbreaking to hear, and I could no longer remain indifferent. So I gently closed the door and walked towards her.

"I don't need your help..." Liang Wanqing forcefully pushed my hand away, turning her tear-streaked face away. Perhaps my earlier indifference had deeply wounded her, rekindling her pride and self-esteem.

A pang of pain shot through my heart. Ignoring her struggles, I scooped her up in my arms. Liang Wanqing struggled violently, pushing me away with both hands: "You...put me down...I don't want your help...I don't want your cheap pity..." My heart ached terribly. I held Liang Wanqing tightly in my arms, not giving her any more room to move. Seeing that she couldn't break free, Liang Wanqing turned and pounded her fists on my chest: "I don't want your fake concern...you're not a good person either...you just bully me..."

"Don't leave me...waaaaah..." Seeing that I was about to put her on the sofa, Liang Wanqing, who had been pounding on me, suddenly clung to me like a frightened child, burying her face in my chest and sobbing. I held her numbly, my heart filled with bitterness. Judging from Liang Wanqing's reaction, she must have feelings for me, but why did she say such hurtful things, especially her insulting words towards Yu Yi, which I couldn't forgive her for?

"Waaah...waaah...you bad guy...waaah..." Liang Wanqing burst into tears, sobbing as she cried, "You're so heartless...I only said a few words to you...and you just abandon me...Why did you even flirt with me in the first place...After winning my heart...you just kicked me away so heartlessly...Are all men this fickle and heartless...waaah...waaah...you big bad guy..."

Liang Wanqing tearfully accused me of being heartless, pounding her fists on my back, "You big bad guy...you big bad guy...you're allowed to leave me alone for so long without a word...can't I even say a few words to you...waaah...waaah..."

I couldn't speak, my heart filled with sorrow. How did things turn out like this? It was clearly a mutual attraction, so why did it make everyone so upset? Was it because her acting was so good that I misunderstood, or did I simply not know her at all and thus misjudged her? But what about Yu Yi's situation? If she couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, I still couldn't believe her.

Thinking of this, I said in a deep voice, "Just saying a few words about me? You make it sound so easy. It's clearly between the two of us, why did you drag Yu Yi into it and insult her with those words? You know I won't tolerate anyone talking about her like that!"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I just said it without thinking... Actually... actually... I envy her... and I'm jealous of her..." Liang Wanqing explained to me while sobbing, her hands tightly gripping mine again, as if afraid I would abandon her.

Now I finally understood her mentality a little. It seemed she wanted to give me a hard time to vent her resentment, but she didn't expect her careless words to touch my sore spot. Only after I lost my temper did she realize the seriousness of the problem, which is why she desperately wanted to keep me here.

But things have come to this point, and I'm unsure whether to believe Liang Wanqing. After thinking for a moment, I said, "I still don't believe you really want to be with me. We haven't seen each other since last time. You wouldn't be saying that you suddenly fell in love with me during this time, would you?"

Just as a broken mirror that's been mended will always bear the cracks that can't be erased, just as a young girl's virginity can never be recovered, some things, once they happen, can never be the same again. No matter what the future holds for Liang Wanqing and me, I will never forget what she said to me today. That feeling of heartache is unforgettable. Even though I now know that Liang Wanqing's words might just be her way of venting her resentment, misunderstandings can sometimes be incredibly destructive; they can be enough to separate two lovers who have pledged their lives to each other.

"You still don't believe me... Do you want me to rip my heart out for you to see?" Liang Wanqing sobbed, "Actually... actually... long before you treated me like that last time... I already had feelings for you... seeing Yuyi and the others so happy... I was really moved... but... but... that day I wasn't feeling well... so I cruelly rejected you... And you... you keep saying you want to make me happy... but you just left me hanging... Don't you think I should be resentful...?"

"Yes, yes, I'm such a bastard." Hearing Liang Wanqing's heartfelt confession, if I still doubted her, I wouldn't be human. Although there was still a slight ache in my heart, the anger had long since dissipated. Thinking about it carefully, although I hadn't been in the mood to visit her these past few days because of Cheng Yurong and Jiang Ruixiang's affair, to Liang Wanqing, I was utterly heartless and cruel. Thinking of the pain Liang Wanqing had endured these past few days, my heart ached even more, and I unconsciously tightened my embrace around her delicate body.

"How could you possibly understand my pain... These past few days... there have been some rumors circulating in the factory... I don't know where those people found out about you helping me... No matter where I go... there are always people pointing fingers behind my back... saying all sorts of things... some say I sacrificed my body for 80,000 yuan... some say I'm your mistress..."

"If it were all true... I would accept it... but now I'm bearing a false reputation while being gossiped about behind my back... And you... you scoundrel... you've taken a fancy to the beautiful Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission... and you're having an ambiguous relationship with the Mei family... what am I supposed to do... sob... sob..." Liang Wanqing's pent-up grievances finally found an outlet, and she buried her face in my chest and wept bitterly.

"Sister Qing... I'm sorry... It's all my fault... Please cry it out... Cry out all the grievances in your heart..." Thinking about what she had just said, I felt extremely remorseful, because I had caused her so much pain.

Perhaps because she had been suppressing her emotions for too long, Liang Wanqing cried for a full half hour, making my arm, which had been holding her the whole time, a little sore, and my clothes were soaked with her tears. But eventually, her tears dried up, and only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. I carried her into the bedroom, placed her on the edge of the bed, and then turned to go to the bathroom to wring out a wet towel for her. "Here, wipe your face. Let me see if you twisted your ankle?"

Liang Wanqing lowered her head, her pretty face, streaked with tears, was slightly flushed, and silently took the towel from my hand to wipe it.

I squatted down, took off her left shoe, and massaged her ankle through her sock, looking up and asking, "Does it hurt?" Liang Wanqing blushed and nodded gently, a hint of shyness flashing across her face.

I shook my head inwardly. The first time I met her, she injured her right foot, but this time it was her left. It seems I really do have a "fate" with her feet. I knelt down and took off her socks, revealing her small, beautiful feet to me again. However, above her ankle, there was a bruise on her fair skin, clearly from when she tripped and fell.

"Does it feel good?" I gently rubbed the bruise, asking softly. Liang Wanqing gave a faint, almost imperceptible hum, which sounded strange to me.

As I gently rubbed, I took the opportunity to admire her beautiful feet and slender legs, a fleeting, erotic thought rising in my mind. I came here full of confidence, but after only a couple of words, we had a falling out, which plunged my spirits into despair. Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn, and we reconciled. It was all so dramatic; our story could easily be made into a movie.

"Mmm…hum…" Liang Wanqing's alluring moans reached my ears, pulling me from my reverie. I realized that my kneading had somehow transformed into gentle caresses, and my face flushed instantly.

I looked up at Liang Wanqing and saw her gazing at me, her face flushed, her lips slightly parted, and a strange light shining in her watery eyes. As if hypnotized, I slowly stood up, my gaze never leaving her hot, breathy lips. I felt my blood boiling, a powerful impulse surging from the depths of my heart. I suddenly reached out and cupped her pretty face in my hands, then, before she could react, I lowered my head and kissed her.

Having just gone through the ordeal, Liang Wanqing naturally wouldn't refuse me again. She also cherished this hard-won relationship. She wrapped her arms around my neck, tilting her head back to passionately meet my kiss, her sweet little tongue, carrying a sweet scent, eagerly entering my mouth.

I savored her sweet saliva and sweet little tongue, yet felt a strong sense of guilt. I hadn't kept my promise to make her happy and joyful; instead, I had caused her a lot of pain. But there was still a long road ahead, and I would make up for the pain she had suffered these past few days. Everything I had done now was like paying interest.

"Sister Qing..." After a long, passionate kiss, I reluctantly pulled my wicked mouth away from Liang Wanqing's almost suffocating lips.

A captivating blush spread across Liang Wanqing's delicate face, and her still-swollen eyes became watery, radiating flames of desire. Her slender hand gently covered my lips, and she breathed heavily, inviting me with love: "Yu Lin...take me...let me truly feel your love...I don't want to live in loneliness and uncertainty any longer..."

At this point, there was no room for hesitation. I once again captured her lips in mine, my hands moving restlessly.

Liang Wanqing's clothes gradually shrank, revealing her petite and beautiful body. When I removed the only covering her chest, her two small, dove-like breasts were exposed, making my breath catch in my throat. Liang Wanqing closed her beautiful eyes, her face flushed, and her body trembled slightly. Although her small breasts couldn't compare to those of Yu Mei or Ruolan, their beautiful shape was equally unforgettable.

"Sister Qing, you're so beautiful..." I couldn't help but exclaim, then buried my face in her chest, sucking and licking one of her breasts while simultaneously grasping her other breast and kneading it vigorously.

Liang Wanqing's body grew hot, a romantic rosy blush spreading across her fair skin; her head tilted back, her hands gripping the sheets tightly, pushing her beautiful breasts upwards as much as possible; her face was a captivating flush, her expression a mixture of pain and pleasure, yet she bit her lower lip to suppress any shameful sounds.

I teased Liang Wanqing's desire while carefully observing her reactions. Slowly, Liang Wanqing's two pink nipples hardened and stood erect, their color deepening, like two lovely and alluring purple grapes.

I knew the time was right, so I stopped lingering on her chest and slid down her abdomen to the forbidden area where her legs met. At this moment, Liang Wanqing was only covered by her flesh-colored panties, which concealed her private parts. Seeing the wet patch in the center of the panties, I didn't hesitate and ripped them off.

"Hoo..." Feeling her genitals suddenly exposed to the air, Liang Wanqing involuntarily let out a soft gasp, her legs instinctively trying to close. But how could I let her have her way? I pried her legs apart, exposing her genitals to me without reservation. Perhaps due to a long lack of care, her pubic hair was thick and messy, the entire black forest almost completely obscuring her babbling brook.

I used force to spread her legs wide, and the pink slit hidden beneath the thick pubic hair finally shyly revealed itself. At this moment, her private parts were already overflowing with spring tides and flowing jade juices. Liang Wanqing let out a soft cry, covering her face with her hands in embarrassment. I whispered tenderly, "Sister Qing, I'm coming." As I spoke, my rock-hard penis was already pressed against the entrance of Liang Wanqing's vagina.

"Mmm..." With a muffled groan from Liang Wanqing, my penis plunged into her vagina, the full, tight sensation sending waves of pleasure through me. I felt a burning desire ignite within me, no longer caring about tenderness. I gripped Liang Wanqing's legs, kneeling between them, and thrust my hips forcefully, my thick, dark penis rapidly entering and exiting her overflowing, honey-like vagina.

"Ah...ah..." Liang Wanqing's mouth gaped open, her petite body swaying from my thrusts, causing her small breasts to bounce back and forth like two playful little rabbits dancing joyfully in the air. The intense pleasure gradually overwhelmed Liang Wanqing. Although initially her long-dormant vagina felt unbearably swollen, and her tender flesh felt a burning sensation from the friction of my thick penis, the long-awaited, indescribable pleasure quickly overwhelmed the pain.

Liang Wanqing felt like a small boat on a vast ocean, tossed about by the wind and waves. She tried desperately to stay conscious, but the dizziness only intensified. Finally, she lost herself in boundless pleasure, her body reacting instinctively, responding to my thrusts. Her soft, panting lips emitted blushing moans: "Mmm...ah...Yu Lin...good little brother...you're so amazing...ah...you're going to kill me...ah...so good..."

Feeling Liang Wanqing involuntarily arch her back to meet my thrusts, my desire burned even brighter. My thick penis sprayed her nectar, simultaneously turning her tender flesh inside out.

Because of years of virginity, Liang Wanqing's vagina was as tight as a virgin's, gripping my penis tightly and giving me an indescribable, intense pleasure. All techniques became meaningless; I simply thrust in and in again, my glans pounding against Liang Wanqing's tender clitoris like raindrops, gradually pushing her to the peak of pleasure.

"Sister Qing... your body is so alluring..." I panted heavily, thrusting my hips forcefully, watching the petite and exquisite Liang Wanqing beneath me writhe and moan softly, a strong sense of accomplishment welled up within me, along with an even stronger desire to conquer.

Liang Wanqing became increasingly frenzied. Her hands gripped my arms, her hips swaying wildly as she frantically met my thrusts. Uncontrollably, lewd words poured from her mouth: "Ah...it's going to kill me...ah...I can't take it...ah...I can't...ah...ah..."

Liang Wanqing's vagina also became hot. With my heavy thrust, she finally couldn't resist the boundless pleasure, reaching the peak of ecstasy with a soft moan: "Ah...I'm dying...ah...I'm lost..." A large amount of vaginal fluid gushed from the depths of her flower, pouring over my glans, making me shiver. However, I showed no signs of ejaculating. After being bathed in her vaginal fluid, I felt my penis seemed even thicker and more swollen, almost uncomfortably so.

Reaching her climax, Liang Wanqing collapsed weakly onto the bed, which made me, still in the throes of passion, feel quite uncomfortable. Driven by desire, I rolled her over, making her lie face down on the bed, her round, firm buttocks raised high.

Liang Wanqing, limp and powerless, let me do as I pleased. Still immersed in the afterglow of her orgasm, she hadn't yet come to her senses when my penis once again entered her from behind between her legs. I held Liang Wanqing's limp waist with both hands, my hips slamming violently against her firm, round buttocks, filling the room with loud "slap" sounds.

"Mmm... hum..." Liang Wanqing gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, her head buried in the pillow, biting the pillowcase as she let out soft, plaintive moans. I thrust uncontrollably, the continuous piston-like movements draining my energy. My entire body was covered in sweat, especially my face, which was drenched in sweat. But I had no time to care; I was just burying my head in my work like a tireless ox plowing a fertile field.

"Ah... I'm dead again... Ah..." Passion eventually subsided. As Liang Wanqing reached her peak of climax for what seemed like the umpteenth time, I also erupted violently deep inside her. The intense pleasure made her moan softly, and I collapsed contentedly onto her back. Although this was our first time making love, we both felt a sense of perfect harmony and complete satisfaction.

"Sister Qing, was it good?" I kissed the beautiful and petite Liang Wanqing in my arms, my tender gaze lingering undisguisedly on her delicate body.

Liang Wanqing nestled against my chest, her small mouth slightly parted, breathing softly. Her slender hands traced circles on my chest as she whispered, "I'm so happy! I've never been so happy before. The past feels like a nightmare..."

"Sister Qing, don't think about the unhappy things of the past anymore. I will make up for all the misfortunes you've suffered over the years." Seeing the sadness in Liang Wanqing's eyes, my heart ached again. I reached out and took her slender hand, placing it over my heart. Then I kissed her, saying, "Sister Qing, do you know how much it hurt me when you said those heartless words? It still aches faintly now. You can feel it if you don't believe me."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Liang Wanqing said apologetically, then left a string of passionate kisses on my cheek. Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but blame myself for bringing up that sore spot.

After a while, Liang Wanqing gradually calmed down. She nestled in my arms like a kitten and said softly, "Yulin, I really shouldn't have said those things today, especially those about Yuyi. It was just out of my mind. No wonder you were so angry. I'll apologize to Yuyi myself later. If I don't, I don't think I can face her."

I sighed inwardly, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer, so I smiled and said, "Sister Qing, thinking about what happened last time is really funny. I don't know what came over me then. It was like some kind of force was calling me. Thinking about it now, I'm a little scared. If you had called for help, I would have been finished.

" "What would you have done if I had really called for help that day?" Liang Wanqing asked with a light laugh.

I was in a great mood and smiled wickedly, "If you dared to call for help, I would have raped you."

Liang Wanqing gently pinched my chest with her slender hand and spat out shyly, "You rogue."

Seeing her shy and charming appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little smug. I smiled and asked, "Sister Qing, if you hadn't been menstruating, would you have rejected me?" "

Yes, because I wanted to avenge Xiaoyan. Although I should thank you for letting Xiaoyan go, you also hurt her for a long time. I wanted you to experience what it's like to be rejected," Liang Wanqing said with a light laugh, her face showing a maternal expression. My heart fluttered, and I couldn't resist kissing her cherry lips again. Liang Wanqing responded with passionate moans, and for a moment we were completely immersed in this rare pleasure, completely ignoring everything around us. Unbeknownst to us, something unexpected was quietly approaching.

"Mom, are you there?" "When Xiaoyan's clear voice reached our ears as we were entangled, it was too late. Liang Wanqing and I were frozen in place, and Xiaoyan, who had suddenly appeared at the bedroom door, was equally stunned. Seeing Liang Wanqing and me naked and embracing, her face showed disbelief.

I hadn't initially thought it was a big deal, since I was going to tell her about Liang Wanqing and me anyway. But when I saw Xiaoyan's shocked, incredulous, and angry expression, I knew things were going badly.

'Xiaoyan…' Seeing Xiaoyan's eyes, I thought of the look in the son's eyes when he saw his fiancée and his father lying naked in bed in the movie 'Sons and Lovers.' I hadn't expected her to react like this. Liang Wanqing, her face flushed, pulled the blanket over our naked bodies, shyly hiding her blushing face in my arms. Of course, she was embarrassed to have her 'affair' discovered by her daughter."

"How could you... I... I hate you..." Xiaoyan covered her face and ran out, as if something crystal clear was falling from the sky.

Although I had a bad feeling, I was still stunned by Xiaoyan's hateful words, just like Liang Wanqing. It wasn't until we heard the door slam shut that Liang Wanqing and I snapped out of our daze, our previously heightened passion instantly cooling. We frantically grabbed our clothes and started dressing. Liang Wanqing, almost crying, cried as she did so. "Yulin, what are we going to do?"

"Trust me, everything will be alright," I comforted the distraught Liang Wanqing, reminding myself to stay calm. I immediately notified Yumei and the others, and we split up to search for Xiaoyan. As night fell, Liang Wanqing and I grew increasingly anxious. We had searched every possible place, but we couldn't find Xiaoyan.

"Sister Qing, don't panic. Think carefully, where else could Xiaoyan have gone?" I comforted the nearly crying Liang Wanqing, while also pondering why Xiaoyan had reacted so strongly.

Completely distraught, Liang Wanqing's face was filled with anxiety. She frowned and muttered to herself, "Where could she have gone?" Seeing her frightened, helpless, and pitiful appearance, my heart ached. If anything happened to Xiaoyan, I knew I would never forgive myself.

Just then, my phone rang. It was Ruolan calling: "Uncle, stop looking! Yingying and I ran into Xiaoyan on the street, and we're taking her home now."

Ruolan was truly a savior! My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately felt at ease. Liang Wanqing was overjoyed and cried tears of relief, grabbing my arm and saying, "That girl really scared me to death! Let's hurry back!"

"How is Xiaoyan?" As soon as we entered the house, Liang Wanqing anxiously grabbed Ruolan and Yingying, who were sitting in the living room, and asked. Ruolan gestured towards the bedroom, then whispered, "She's already asleep. When we ran into her on the street, she was walking home. She seemed fine, but she wasn't very talkative."

"Phew..." Liang Wanqing let out a long sigh and patted her chest. Seeing her head towards the bedroom, I reached out and stopped her, shaking my head. Talking to Xiaoyan at this time was clearly not a good idea. Liang Wanqing understood what I meant and nodded gently, saying, "I know, I just wanted to see her."

Seeing Liang Wanqing tiptoe into the bedroom, I said to Ruolan and Yingying, "It's getting late, I'll take you home. Thank you so much for today."

Ruolan smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "It has nothing to do with us. It seems she wanted to go home herself." After a slight pause, she added softly, "Uncle, why don't you stay and keep Aunt Liang company? Yingying and I will take a taxi home ourselves."

I nodded and saw the two girls out. At the door, Yingying tiptoed and gave me a kiss, then made a face at me, saying, "Dad, you're in trouble this time. Sister Yan seems to have been crying; her eyes are all red and swollen. She seemed not to hear anything we said to her. It seems you and Aunt Liang really hurt her this time. Good luck to you."

Why was Xiaoyan so sad? After Ruolan and Yingying left, I pondered this question deeply. I knew Xiaoyan was attached to me before, and even if she still has some attachment to me now, she shouldn't have reacted so strongly. She already knew about my relationship with Yumei and Yuyi, and Liang Wanqing is her mother. No matter what, she shouldn't have reacted so intensely, especially since she even uttered the word "hate," which is really unusual.

"Where are Ruolan and the others?" After a long while, Liang Wanqing finally came out of the bedroom and asked me when she saw that Ruolan and the others were no longer there.

I gently pulled her into my arms and whispered, "I sent them back. How is Xiaoyan?"

Liang Wanqing nestled against my chest and whispered, "She's asleep." She looked up at my face and murmured, "Yulin, did we do something wrong?"

"Sister Qing, don't overthink it." I gently patted her back and said softly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyan is a sensible child. She'll understand us. I promised you I'd make you and Xiaoyan happy. Believe me, I will." Liang Wanqing nodded gently and leaned closer to me. We nestled together in the darkness, listening to each other's breath and heartbeats.

I had no regrets about what happened today, but I still felt very sorry for Xiaoyan's strong reaction. If I had communicated with her sooner, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. I remembered Faye Wong's song "Forgiveness," and the line "Love is the source of hate." I couldn't help but ask myself, "Is love really harder to forgive than hate?"

"Phew..." Hearing footsteps fade into the distance, I let out a soft sigh and quietly opened my eyes, just in time to see Xiaoyan's petite figure disappear into the bathroom. Actually, I had been awake for a while, but I pretended to be asleep to see Xiaoyan's reaction. I thought it would only be a moment, but she stood there watching us for a long time, almost making me give myself away. Bright sunlight streamed in through the thin curtains; it seemed like another sunny day.

"I wonder if that girl's anger has subsided?" I thought to myself, glancing down at Liang Wanqing, who was nestled in my arms, fast asleep, her arms tightly wrapped around my back. We had spent the whole night sitting on the sofa in the living room like this. Seeing the clear tear tracks at the corners of her eyes, my heart ached slightly. This pitiful little woman, even sleeping in my arms last night, hadn't slept soundly at all, constantly muttering in her sleep, sometimes asking Xiaoyan to forgive her, sometimes begging me not to leave her, which pained me deeply.

"Hmm, is it dawn yet?" Perhaps awakened by the sounds of Xiaoyan washing up in the bathroom, Liang Wanqing slowly opened her still-drowsy eyes, staring blankly at my face so close to hers. Her mind slowly cleared, and her pretty face gradually flushed.

Seeing her shy appearance, I chuckled inwardly, lowered my head and kissed her small lips, whispering in her ear, "Sister Qing, did you sleep well last night?"

"Mmm," Liang Wanqing softly hummed, a little shyly saying, "It must have been tiring holding me, right? Put me down quickly." I smiled and shook my head, reaching out to remove the thin blanket wrapped around us. Liang Wanqing, her face red, climbed down from my arms. Hearing the noise coming from the bathroom, Liang Wanqing's expression suddenly dimmed. She glanced towards the bathroom with a complicated look, then looked at me with worry.

"It's alright, you can talk to her properly later," I gently patted her hand to comfort her, while simultaneously brushing her bangs behind her ears. Perhaps my comforting words had an effect, because Liang Wanqing's expression softened, and she nodded slightly.

Xiaoyan, having finished washing up, finally appeared in our view. Her face was tense. Seeing Liang Wanqing and me sitting on the sofa watching her, she seemed a little surprised, but her expression immediately changed. She gave a cold snort and turned away, walking towards the bedroom without looking at us.

"Xiaoyan…" Liang Wanqing hesitated, seeing that Xiaoyan wasn't waiting for her to speak, and hurriedly stood up and followed Xiaoyan into the bedroom, then closed the door. Although eavesdropping is impolite, I was still worried and disregarded the petty act. I quietly walked to the bedroom door and pressed my ear against it.

"Xiaoyan, are you still angry with me? I'm sorry, it's all Mom's fault..." It was Liang Wanqing's voice. Although I couldn't see her expression, I could easily imagine her humble and submissive manner from her tone. Parents' hearts are always full of love. Liang Wanqing hadn't done anything wrong, yet she made herself sound like she had committed an unforgivable crime. It was all because of love—the unreasonable love parents have for their children.

"Hmph, I don't have a mother like you." Xiaoyan's originally sweet voice now sounded so harsh and unpleasant: "I trusted you so much before, telling you all my secrets, and in the end, you secretly seduced him and slept with him. What kind of mother would steal a man from her own daughter? Get out, I don't want to see you again."

"Bang!" Having overheard the mother and daughter's conversation outside the door, I could no longer contain myself. I flung the door open and stormed in. Before me stood Liang Wanqing, her face flushed and paling with shame, utterly mortified. Seeing the tears welling in her beautiful eyes, my anger intensified. I glared furiously at Xiaoyan, whose face remained impassive.

Both mother and daughter were startled by my uninvited guest. Perhaps intimidated by my menacing appearance, Xiaoyan showed a hint of fear: "You...what are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here? I'm here to teach you a lesson, you ungrateful little brat!" I snapped angrily.

Liang Wanqing quickly grabbed my arm, pleading, "Yulin, don't do anything rash! Xiaoyan is still young. You go out first, I'll talk to her properly." She then pushed me towards her.

I, however, took the initiative, grabbing her arm and pushing her out of the bedroom. "Sister Qing, don't stop me. I'm going to teach this ungrateful girl a lesson today." With that, I slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

"Yu Lin, what are you doing? Open the door!" Liang Wanqing was probably frightened by my appearance and pounded on the door from the outside, but I ignored her and turned to stare coldly at Xiao Yan not far away.

Originally, I had an awkward past with the little girl, and I could understand that the young girl, just beginning to experience love, was a little sensitive about the things between Liang Wanqing and me. But what she said to Liang Wanqing was unacceptable to me. If anyone was to blame, it was me. I was the one who actively brought Liang Wanqing into my circle, and I couldn't just watch her be wronged and blamed because of me.

"What...what are you going to do?" Seeing me approaching her step by step, Xiaoyan became a little scared and kept backing away. "If you take another step forward, I'll scream." Although Xiaoyan was a little panicked after being cornered by me, she still refused to show weakness.

I originally just wanted to scare her and overwhelm her with my presence before I could teach her a lesson, but I didn't expect her to threaten me. It seems I have to teach her a lesson. Thinking of this, I approached her with a cold smile. "Scream? Fine, the louder the better."

"Help! Indecent assault..." Xiaoyan was really stubborn. Before I even touched her, she started screaming at the top of her lungs. This little girl really won't give up until she sees the coffin. I was both angry and amused. I grabbed her, held her waist and made her face down, and then swung my right hand repeatedly, "smack," "smack," "smack," giving her little bottom a few slaps without any politeness.

"Yu Lin, Xiao Yan is just being silly, please don't hit her, I beg you, open the door!" Hearing the commotion inside, Liang Wanqing, who was blocked outside the door, pounded on it. Her pleas made me feel a pang of pity, but thinking I couldn't give up halfway, I hardened my heart, pretended not to hear, and continued to "greet" the little girl's bottom with my right hand.

Xiao Yan struggled violently in my hands, even kicking me wildly, "You... why are you hitting me... you despicable, shameless bastard... let me go... you big bad guy... you big pervert... you big scoundrel... you big pervert..." I never imagined the little girl could be so scathing.

"Why? Because you're ungrateful, an unfilial daughter." Seeing that the little girl still wouldn't behave, I angrily pressed her against the edge of the bed, increasing the pressure on my hands. "Slap," "slap," "slap," my palm landed repeatedly on Xiao Yan's still somewhat thin bottom.

Xiaoyan couldn't bear the pain and screamed, "Stop! Ouch! It hurts! You pervert! Ouch!"

"Yulin, stop! How could you hit Xiaoyan?" Liang Wanqing's voice was urgent and angry, but I ignored her and continued my spanking. How could I bear to do this? It was Xiaoyan's bottom that was being spanked, but it was my heart that ached. If Xiaoyan's words hadn't hurt Liang Wanqing so much, I wouldn't be so angry.

"Stop hitting me! It hurts! Waaah! Mommy! Help me!" At first, Xiaoyan was cursing, but after I slapped her more than ten times, she didn't dare to curse anymore and started to cry softly.

My heart is soft, and seeing that Xiaoyan already showed signs of remorse, I stopped what I was doing and said angrily, "Didn't you say you didn't care about her anymore? Why are you remembering her good points now?"

"I...I...know...I was wrong..." Xiaoyan said softly, full of grievances, tears streaming down her face. It made my heart ache, but I still scolded her relentlessly, "You know you were wrong? Have you ever thought about how much your mother has suffered and how much she has endured to raise you all these years? What did she do it all for? Was it just for the words 'I don't have a mother like you'? If I had an unfilial daughter like you, I would have been driven to my death by you long ago."

"Yulin, please stop talking, Xiaoyan is still young," Liang Wanqing pleaded from outside the door, but I ignored her and continued, "I don't care what you think of me, whether you call me despicable, shameless, or a perverted lecher, it doesn't matter. But even so, you have no right to interfere in what happens between me and your mother. Besides, it was me who seduced your mother into this situation, not the other way around. You need to understand that. In short, if you dare to disrespect your mother in any way again, I will never forgive you." "

I...I understand..." Xiaoyan glanced at me fearfully and said softly. I used to be very kind to them, even extremely doting, so she would never forget what happened today.

Seeing her standing there motionless, I said angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Go apologize to your mother right now."

"Oh...I...I'll go right now..." Xiaoyan was startled by my shout, looked at me with a wronged expression, and sobbed as she went to open the door.

The door opened, and Liang Wanqing rushed in anxiously, immediately pulling Xiaoyan into her arms. "Yan'er, where did he hit you? Did it hurt? Let Mom see." Ha, Liang Wanqing's maternal instincts were overflowing. Didn't she know the saying, "A doting mother raises a spoiled daughter"?

"Mom..." Xiaoyan, filled with grievances, finally found someone to confide in. She buried her face in Liang Wanqing's chest and began to sob.

Liang Wanqing panicked and quickly patted Xiaoyan's back, gently comforting her, "Good girl, don't cry, don't cry, let's ignore this big bad guy, okay?" As she spoke, she raised her head and glared fiercely at the culprit standing by, saying coquettishly, "I've never hit Xiaoyan once in her life, how could you be so heartless? If anything happens to Xiaoyan, I won't let you off the hook. Uh, what are you still standing here for? Go out and reflect on your actions, I'll settle the score with you later."

Well, she's blaming me for everything. I did it all for her sake, it seems being a good person is really hard. I smiled wryly, touched my nose, glanced at the mother and daughter embracing each other, shook my head, and walked out.

Although the method was a bit harsh, how could the willful little girl be willing to admit her mistake if I didn't do it this way? Rather than risking her causing more trouble, it's better to take the blame and be the villain. Not wanting to interrupt the mother and daughter's conversation, I washed my face in the bathroom and then went out to buy them breakfast. Last night, the little girl's fuss had prevented us from having dinner, and my stomach was growling.

On my way downstairs, I ran into several residents of the same building, both men and women, but the way they looked at me made me very uncomfortable. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but when I saw them pointing and whispering behind my back, I knew I wasn't mistaken. "Boring people with nothing better to do," I muttered to myself. Remembering Liang Wanqing telling me about the rumors she was facing at the factory, my mood worsened. Why are there always people in this world who love to gossip?

Returning from buying breakfast, I encountered several somewhat familiar elderly women at the stairwell. One of them stopped me and asked, "You look familiar. Are you Wanqing's friend?"

I didn't know why she asked, so I nodded and said, "Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"

The old lady smiled and lowered her voice, saying, "Nothing much, just something I wanted to say to you. I don't know who you are, or if you're the wealthy person rumored to be, but I can tell that things aren't simple between you and Wanqing. Wanqing is a good girl; don't let her down."

"Oh, of course, of course." What was this all about? Why was the old lady meddling? I blushed and awkwardly fled amidst the old ladies' good-natured laughter. It seems I should really make some plans for Liang Wanqing and her daughter; I can't let them stay here and suffer any more humiliation, I thought to myself.

Actually, I'd been wanting to move away from the school for a while, but I hadn't had enough money, and buying a house wasn't urgent, so I kept putting it off. Now it's time to consider that. Also, Ruolan and I both passed our driver's license tests at the end of last month. Although we haven't received our licenses yet, they should be coming soon, so buying a car should be on the agenda.

I carried breakfast into the house and found the mother and daughter still in the bedroom. I peeked in and saw Liang Wanqing and Xiaoyan sitting on the edge of the bed, embracing and talking intimately. The tear stains on their faces had disappeared; it seemed they had made up.

I was secretly pleased, thinking, "Finally, I've dealt with that troublesome little girl. The future looks promising." I couldn't help but let my mind wander, imagining the beautiful scene of sleeping with Liang Wanqing, Yumei, and Ruolan. A wicked smile crept onto my lips.

Although this matter was resolved, and Liang Wanqing was officially my woman, I knew very well that things weren't over between Xiaoyan and me. Judging from Xiaoyan's reaction this time, I could tell she was still somewhat infatuated with me, but I wasn't too worried. Time would tell what the future held.

One thing I was certain of was that I would never again actively pursue a woman, even if she were a goddess descended from heaven. My recent experiences have taught me the true meaning of "the more women, the more trouble," and besides, I'm not made of iron. The women I already have are enough to handle; I dare not create any more trouble for myself.

"Hey, you two ladies, can't we talk after we finish eating? My stomach is already protesting." Seeing the mother and daughter talking non-stop, I had no choice but to play the villain again.

When Xiaoyan saw me again, she seemed a little scared, timidly tugging at Liang Wanqing's sleeve and peeking at me. It seemed I had really frightened her. Noticing her daughter's unusual behavior, Liang Wanqing glared at me, then patted Xiaoyan's head to comfort her, saying, "Don't be afraid of him. If he dares to hit you again, Mommy will fight him to the death." Seeing Liang Wanqing's expression, I found it somewhat amusing. She was like a mother hen protecting her chicks from being eaten by an eagle, and I, of course, was the eagle that wanted to eat the chicks.

"You bastard, how could you hit Xiaoyan so cruelly? That's too much!" Liang Wanqing pulled Xiaoyan past me, pinching my waist hard, making me almost jump.

I couldn't help but complain, "Sister Qing, you're really kicking me while I'm down! If I didn't teach that little brat a lesson, she'd rebel!"

"But you shouldn't have hit her, especially so hard." Liang Wanqing pinched me again, then pointed at my nose and laughed, "It's all your fault for causing our mother-daughter falling out, and you still have the nerve to brag about it?"

I was completely speechless. Women can be unreasonable sometimes. What could I do but laugh awkwardly? Seeing my discomfiture, Xiaoyan, who was initially a little afraid of me, couldn't help but burst out laughing. I seized the opportunity and said to Xiaoyan, "Xiaoyan, I'm sorry, Dad might have been a little too rough."

"Um...it's not your fault." Xiaoyan seemed embarrassed, blushing as she whispered.

Liang Wanqing seemed still resentful about me hitting Xiaoyan, and reached out to pinch me again. I grabbed her arm and said with a fawning smile, "Sister Qing, please don't pinch me anymore. Otherwise, when Yumei and the others see the marks on my body, they'll think I've been with some powerful wild woman. Come on, sit down and eat. You're not hungry, but I'm starving."

"What wild woman? I'd rather you starve to death, you naughty thing." Liang Wanqing smiled shyly and slapped me, then pulled Xiaoyan to sit down with her. The three of us ate breakfast peacefully, and the whole incident vanished.

Seeing the mother and daughter regain their former energy, I was in a great mood and said with a smile, "Xiaoyan, don't go to school today. Stay home and rest. I just called your Aunt Mei and asked her to ask for leave for you."

"Okay." Xiaoyan gave a soft "okay," glanced at me, and then lowered her head to continue eating her breakfast. It seemed she was still too shy to be too friendly with me. Liang Wanqing looked at her daughter with loving eyes, even reaching out to pat her little head, her doting affection overflowing. I couldn't help but shake my head inwardly, not expecting my little gesture to escape Liang Wanqing's notice, which naturally earned me a glare.

"Sister Qing, don't rush to clean up, I have something to discuss with you." After breakfast, Liang Wanqing was about to get up to clean up the mess, but I stopped her.

Hearing this, Liang Wanqing sat back down, somewhat surprised, and asked, "What is it?" Xiaoyan, sitting next to her, also looked at me with some surprise, her cute little ears perked up.

"Sister Qing, I'm thinking of having you quit your job at the printing factory. I'm planning to buy a house outside these few days, and you and Xiaoyan can move there in a while, so people won't keep gossiping about you behind your back." There was no need to beat around the bush with them, so I directly stated my thoughts. Although I didn't care about what others said, I couldn't ignore the mother and daughter's concerns.

"What, trying to keep a mistress like others do?" Liang Wanqing teased me with a slightly flushed face.

I chuckled and said, "That's my wish, but I wouldn't dare ask you. Sister Qing, didn't you tell me you didn't want to have an empty reputation? This is just what you wanted."

"You can't expect anything good from a dog's mouth. Yan'er is still here." Liang Wanqing blushed at my teasing and awkwardly slapped me.

Xiaoyan, who had been silent all along, stood up and forced a smile, saying, "I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back to my room to read." As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the bedroom. For some reason, her back gave off a lonely feeling, and I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It's all your fault, you bad boy, that's why our Yan'er is like this. You have to find a way to make her happy, or I won't let you off the hook." After Xiaoyan entered the room, Liang Wanqing sat on my lap, placed her slender hand on my waist, and gently threatened me, with a "you'll regret it if you don't agree" attitude.

"I'm at their mercy, like a fish on a chopping board. Not wanting to suffer any more pain, I could only nod repeatedly

. 'Okay, okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, alright?'" "Hmph, fine, whatever." Liang Wanqing giggled, but still gave me a light pinch on the waist as a warning. After laughing, her face hardened. "Yulin, have you discussed this with Sister Mei and the others? I don't want to disrupt your normal lives because of my daughter and me. Besides, what would I do if I quit my job? I don't want to sit at home waiting for you to support me."

"Sister Qing, you're overthinking it. Don't you know what kind of people Yumei and the others are? Yesterday, Yumei was the one who suggested I come to you." I blurted out something I shouldn't have, without realizing it. "As for work, you don't need to worry about that either. I'll take care of everything."

"If Sister Mei didn't let you come, you wouldn't have come, would you?" After hearing my words, Liang Wanqing looked at me with a resentful expression, appearing very hurt.

Women, wow, they really are unpredictable creatures. I only said something casually, and it triggered such a strong reaction from her. No wonder Confucius said, "Only petty men and women are difficult to deal with." But now is not the time for lamenting. With my silver tongue, I used all my sweet words, along with sweet kisses and gentle caresses, and finally calmed Liang Wanqing's resentment. This once again proves the old saying: when a woman is jealous, there's no reasoning with her.

Acting on my thoughts is my usual style. For the next week, I was busy buying a house. After looking at many places, I finally bought a luxury villa owned by a Hong Kong businessman for 8 million. However, because the house needs renovation and furnishing, I can't move in immediately. Yu Mei and the others had some minor objections to my decision, mainly because they thought I was spending too much money. I know they were worried that I would forget my roots now that I have money, but how could I be that kind of person?

On the other hand, the investigation team, which had been silent for some time, finally made a move. On the afternoon of May 18th, a joint investigation team composed of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and provincial and municipal discipline inspection commissions held a press conference in QH City, officially announcing the preliminary results of the investigation. The main contents were: 1. Wang XX, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor, is suspected of corruption and has been placed under investigation; 2. Lin XX, Director of the Provincial Anti-Corruption Bureau, and Gu XX, Director of the Provincial Land Resources and Planning Bureau, are suspected of dereliction of duty and corruption and have been suspended from their duties and are under investigation; 3. The main party and government officials of QH City... All leaders are suspected of corruption and are currently under further investigation by the investigation team; Fourth, Niu XX, the former deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who replaced Cheng Yurong as the head of the investigation team, and several members of the investigation team have been suspended from their duties for serious violations of discipline; Fifth, it has now been determined that the case of former deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Cheng Yurong instructing her confidants to murder the wealthy Mei family in QH City was a frame-up. The Provincial Party Committee has decided to reinstate Comrade Cheng Yurong's Party membership and work, and has decided that she will no longer serve as deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and will be given another position by the organization.

Judging from the personnel and levels involved, there is no doubt that the QH City corruption case will be the strongest contender for the number one corruption case in China in 2004.

After learning about the contents of the press conference, our family was also happy for Cheng Yurong. She can finally get rid of the troubles of rumors and clear her name. We originally wanted to hold a small celebration for her at home, but we couldn't contact her, so we had to give up. We saw her again the next day at noon. We were having lunch, and I was angry about something.

My anger stemmed from the special supplement to the "Urban Life Daily," published that very day. Eight whole pages were dedicated to me; it was practically a complete exposé of my family history. How could I not be angry?

"Everyone has flaws, but those who don't reveal them are masters," I thought. I doubt anyone would willingly expose all their private matters. The eight pages detailed everything from my life story to my marriage and family life, all revolving around one theme: my complicated relationships with Shuling, Yumei, and Cheng Yurong. On

the first page of the supplement, right in the center, was a large composite photo of me with Cheng Yurong, Shuling, and Yumei. To the right of the photo was a row of bold, black typeface: "Exclusive Reveal: The Man Behind the Beautiful Female Secretary," with a smaller subtitle: "The Story of a Man and Three Women."
October 27th,

Chapter 27

: The title alone was so ambiguous and suggestive, so the content was predictable. What infuriated me was the repeated, extremely explicit descriptions in the article implying an ambiguous relationship between me, Cheng Yurong, and Yumei. Furthermore, the article even implied that Cheng Yurong was a third party between me and Yumei. How could anyone not be angry?

And the culprit behind all this was that reporter named Zhao Jiahui, that troublesome female reporter whose interview requests I had refused many times. I wondered what Cheng Yurong would think upon seeing this. Yesterday's press conference had just cleared her name, and today she was embroiled in this embarrassing scandal. She must be in a bad mood, right? However, I seemed to be mistaken, because just as I was thinking this, there was a knock at the door, and the uninvited guest was none other than Cheng Yurong.

"Yulin, what's wrong? Who are you so angry with?" Cheng Yurong, who appeared before us, seemed to be in a good mood, a faint smile on her lips, exuding a noble and charming aura.

Yingying, sitting next to me, grabbed the newspaper in front of me and handed it to her. "Aunt Rong, you'll see what's going on when you look at this. Dad's angry because of it!"

Cheng Yurong didn't take the newspaper, but smiled faintly and said, "This? I've already seen it. Yulin, you're angry about this?"

Her attitude surprised us all. Yumei asked with a smile, "Sister Rong, don't you care at all that people see you as a third party?"

Cheng Yurong shrugged, saying indifferently, "What's there to care about? I didn't care about even worse rumors before, why would I care about this little thing? But, hehe, Yumei, it's really funny that we've become rivals in love without even realizing it."

"Hehe..." Everyone was amused by Cheng Yurong's words. The somewhat gloomy atmosphere that had been there because of my anger vanished, and my anger subsided considerably. I gradually calmed down.

One question that puzzles me is where Zhao Jiahui got her information, especially the fact that I indirectly saved Cheng Yurong by obtaining the CD from Jiang Ruixiang. Only a few people know this. Where did Zhao Jiahui hear about it? Although Zhao Jiahui didn't mention Jiang Ruixiang's name in the text and only briefly mentioned how she obtained the CD, the fact that she knew about its existence makes her seem rather unusual. How did she find out about it?

"Yulin, don't get angry over such a small thing, it's not worth it." Seeing my silence, Cheng Yurong comforted me instead: "The best thing to do with this kind of thing is to ignore it, otherwise it will only make things worse, and

you'll just fall into someone else's trap." I thought about it and realized she was right. Even she didn't mind, so why should I? I shook my head to dispel the unpleasantness in my mind and asked with a smile: "By the way, big sister, what are you going to do now that you're no longer the deputy secretary? Can you give us a hint?"

"Hehe, that's a secret." Cheng Yurong avoided answering and kept me in suspense: "You'll find out soon enough."

Before I could say anything, Yingying pouted and said unhappily: "Aunt Rong, you're too good at keeping us in suspense! What's there to keep secret? Don't you even trust us?"

"You really know how to pester people. Alright, I'll tell you quietly then." Cheng Yurong smiled and leaned close to Yingying's ear, whispering something.

Then Yingying exclaimed happily, "Really? That's great!" Yumei and I exchanged glances, wondering what she had told Yingying. But since Yingying seemed so happy, it must be a good thing. At

three o'clock in the afternoon, I met Zhao Jiahui in a coffee shop. I had contacted her through her cousin, Lin Wanyu. Although I didn't intend to hold a grudge against her, it was still necessary to warn her. At the same time, I was also curious to know who had told her those things.

There weren't many customers in the coffee shop at this time; only a few young couples were chatting intimately in a few corners. Of course, the situation between Zhao Jiahui and me was quite different. Zhao Jiahui sat across from me, elegantly stirring her coffee with a spoon, and glanced at me sideways, saying, "You're in such a hurry to call me here, are you here to interrogate me? Tell me, how do you plan to deal with me? I'm all ears."

"Hmph, don't you know everything about me? Why are you saying such childish things? If I wanted to deal with you, anyone could have taken care of you. Why would I need to come personally?" When dealing with a bold woman like Zhao Jiahui, I absolutely couldn't lose to her in terms of momentum, otherwise I would just be led by the nose. So I wanted to give her a hard time right from the start.

"Oh, how come I didn't know Mr. Liu became a gangster?" Zhao Jiahui feigned surprise, but couldn't hide the smile on her face.

I gritted my teeth in anger and said coldly, "Miss Zhao, don't go too far. Although I, Liu Yulin, don't want trouble, I'm not afraid of it. If you really piss me off, you'll suffer. Listen, I've called you here today for two things. First, I want to know from you who made you write that article, and where you got those clues. Second, I want to give you some advice: stop bothering my life. I don't like being the subject of other people's gossip."

"Oh, that's pretty cool. Is that how you use this trick to fool girls?" My warning seemed to have no effect on Zhao Jiahui. She looked indifferent and said, as if she didn't care at all, "Hey, Mr. Liu, to be honest, you're quite the ladies' man. You really can't tell from your appearance. You're a real hidden talent." "

Likewise, Miss Zhao is no pushover either," I retorted sarcastically.

No matter what I said, Zhao Jiahui seemed completely unconcerned, which was almost infuriating. "Oh, so we're kindred spirits then? But unlike you, Mr. Liu, I'm not like you, juggling multiple relationships at the same time. That's a dangerous game of fire. I'm very loyal to men." A fickle woman, loyal, my foot!

"Ms. Zhao, let's not beat around the bush. If you don't want things to fall apart and end up in court, then answer my question directly. Tell me, who made you write that article?" I was getting impatient. Based on that article she wrote, I had every right to sue her for invasion of privacy and defamation, but I wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.

"Sigh, you really have no sense of romance, and your looks are so-so. I really don't know how those women fell for you." Zhao Jiahui completely ignored my murderous glare and continued to criticize me, making me both amused and exasperated. The existence of such an unconventional woman must be a misfortune for men, I thought to myself, silently mourning for the men she dumped.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, you pathetic Casanova." Seeing me about to lose my temper, Zhao Jiahui chuckled. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be hard to guess. Besides Mei Tenglong's flirtatious wife, who else would be so hung up on your affair with that female secretary?" She stood up, a rather amusing smile playing on her lips. "You've gotten the answer you wanted, so that's all I'm doing. I'm leaving now. Remember, next time someone interviews you, don't rudely refuse them again, or they'll lose face. You know, women are very petty."

This troublesome woman is really a handful. I coldly watched her departing figure, feeling quite annoyed. Besides Zhao Jiahui's revenge for my previous refusal of her interview request, the main reason for this was Jiang Ruixiang using Zhao Jiahui's pen to taunt me. She really knows how to cause trouble.

"Oh, I almost forgot something." Zhao Jiahui, who had already reached the door, suddenly turned back, smiled slightly at me, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your ex-wife's death must be related to that young lady from the Mei family, right? You must tell me about it in detail next time you have time, okay? I'm very curious. Bye-bye, you clumsy Casanova."

With that, she giggled and walked out of the coffee shop, while I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. This woman was not simple.

After parting ways with Zhao Jiahui at the coffee shop, I didn't go home, but went straight to the Mei family's house. I wasn't angry about Jiang Ruixiang's actions; what really made me feel disheartened was that she had gone too far. I'm not a petty man, so I could generously forgive the humiliations Jiang Ruixiang had inflicted on me before, but this time her behavior was truly excessive, crossing the line of what I could tolerate.

"Yuqing, is your mother-in-law home?" Mo Yuqing opened the door. Perhaps because of the rising temperature, she was dressed lightly, wearing a loose t-shirt and a short skirt that didn't reach her knees. Judging from the fullness of her chest, she wasn't wearing a bra, so her nipples were clearly visible.

"Oh, Mother-in-law is home. Uncle Liu, it's been a long time." Seeing me at the door, Mo Yuqing was stunned for a moment before reacting, her smile somewhat forced. Perhaps because of my special relationship with Jiang Ruixiang, she no longer called me "Mr. Liu," but instead called me "Uncle Liu."

I followed Mo Yuqing into the living room. With her swaying hips and graceful steps, a faint yet alluring perfume wafted from her, making me feel a ticklish sensation. What's worse, as she swayed gracefully, the hem of her white miniskirt naturally swung up, revealing her snow-white, translucent thighs, dazzlingly white and making my eyes water. I couldn't help but feel a stirring of desire, and embarrassed, I had to look away.

"Uncle Liu, you can go in yourself," Mo Yuqing said softly, leading me to the second floor and pointing to Jiang Ruixiang's bedroom. I nodded, about to step forward, when Mo Yuqing suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Uncle Liu, Mother-in-law hasn't been in a good mood lately. I hope you can be more accommodating to her." Accommodate? Haven't I been accommodating enough to her? I gave Mo Yuqing a wry smile, then walked towards the bedroom door. Almost simultaneously, I heard a soft sigh behind me, followed by Mo Yuqing's footsteps coming downstairs.

I stood quietly at the door for a moment, then gently opened it. A beautiful figure sat in front of a dressing table, her back to me. It couldn't possibly be anyone but Jiang Ruixiang, but in broad daylight, she was wearing only a nearly transparent nightgown—truly provocative. However, this somewhat wanton attire wasn't the main issue; what made me extremely uncomfortable was the cigarette wisps of smoke rising from her fingers, as I've always felt a strong aversion and disgust towards women smoking.

"Qing'er, is that you?" Jiang Ruixiang asked languidly without turning her head, her tone revealing a sense of dejection and loneliness.

"It's me," I replied in a low voice. Although I harbored considerable resentment towards Jiang Ruixiang, I could still control my emotions. As the saying goes, even the most hateful person has a pitiable side, and Jiang Ruixiang was such a woman—both infuriating and pitiful. Seeing her like this, I felt a mix of emotions—resentment, pity, and more—a complex blend of feelings.

"You…came…" Hearing my voice, I saw Jiang Ruixiang's body jerk violently, then she suddenly turned 180 degrees to face me. Although she tried her best to hide her emotions, her trembling voice betrayed her inner secret. More than a month had passed, and her beautiful face looked slightly haggard, with a deep sense of resentment. Seeing this, my heart ached slightly.

"Yes, I'm here," I said expressionlessly. Looking at the cigarette still burning between her fingers, I frowned and said, "Why are you still smoking? It's not good for you."

Perhaps my tone touched a nerve; Jiang Ruixiang's eyes reddened, and she said resentfully, "What's it to you? You don't want me anyway."

"You…" I took a deep breath, suppressing my anger. Impulsiveness wasn't the solution. The scene at Liang Wanqing's place, where things almost spiraled out of control, was still fresh in my mind. I wouldn't make the same mistake again.

I calmed myself down and said gently, "Sister Xiang, you know perfectly well that's not how things are, so why do you insist on saying it this way? Do we really have to hurt each other like this?" I paused to catch my breath and continued, "Sister Xiang, I'm not here to argue with you today. I just want to know what you really want."

"You...you're not angry with me?" Jiang Ruixiang stared at me blankly for a long while before stammering. Seeing her guilty look, I couldn't help but shake my head inwardly, thinking, "If only she had known this in the first place."

I stared at her face for a long time until she lowered her head, unable to bear it any longer. Then I gently scolded her, "Sister Xiang, you really went too far this time. You can vent your anger on me, but you shouldn't have dragged Yu Mei and the others into this. But since it's already happened, I don't want to blame you anymore. Just apologize to Yu Mei and the others, and I can pretend nothing happened."

Jiang Ruixiang bit her lip and didn't speak, but the grievance written on her face was obvious even to a blind person. I sighed and said, "Sister Xiang, if you really feel it's difficult, then forget it. I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do. I don't blame you. If anyone is to blame, it's that we're destined to be apart."

"You...don't want me anymore?" Hearing my words, Jiang Ruixiang couldn't hold back any longer and stood up. The cigarette between her slender fingers fell to the ground due to her emotional state. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her lips trembled as she said, "Don't you keep your word? You promised me! Do you think you can just play around and then forget about it?"

“Yes, I did promise you.” I nodded and said, “But I don’t want to see my women fighting over me and making a scene at home all the time. I also don’t want to become the subject of gossip and the laughing stock of others. Sister Xiang, if you can’t get along with Yu Mei and the others, then I can only be a shameless liar who breaks his promise.”

I think I couldn’t have made my point clearer, and I think she understood. If I had to choose between Yu Mei and her, I would choose Yu Mei without hesitation. This might be a bit cruel for a woman, but for the sake of future family harmony and to avoid domestic strife, I had to do this.

“I…I’ll listen to you, okay?” Jiang Ruixiang bit her lip and thought blankly for a long time before pouting and looking like a wronged little wife. I found it somewhat amusing, and I was also a little surprised by her attitude. I had thought it would be a lot of trouble, but things went unexpectedly smoothly, and I had actually “subdued the enemy without a fight.” Seeing her aggrieved and wronged expression, I stepped forward and gently embraced her. A delicate fragrance immediately filled my nostrils.

Jiang Ruixiang pressed her incredibly voluptuous body tightly against mine, raised her small fist and lightly punched my chest twice, then looked up at me with utter resentment and said, "You're so hateful! You only know how to bully me. What did I owe you in my past life to deserve this? Why are you so good to other women, yet so heartless to me? You haven't come to see me for so long, and when you do, you say you don't want me anymore. Do you really hate me that much?"

"Hey, you think you're right? Look at the mess you've made. If I didn't put up with you, I would have broken up with you long ago. Go ask around, how many men would tolerate you like I do? You should be grateful." With that, I slapped her plump buttocks hard, then warned her, "You've caused me enough trouble already. If you dare to mess around again, I won't forgive you."

Jiang Ruixiang let out a soft groan as her buttocks were attacked, and a blush rose to her cheeks. But she still refused to admit defeat, saying, "If you weren't so heartless, why would I have done those things?" Seeing me glare at her fiercely, she finally shut up.

I sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her in my arms, and asked, "How did you meet that reporter named Zhao Jiahui? And why did you tell her all that nonsense?"

"I don't know her." Jiang Ruixiang glanced at me timidly like a little girl who had done something wrong, then lowered her head and murmured, "I didn't tell her those things, my sister did. I only found out later. Yulin, I'm sorry, it's all because my sister likes to meddle. She said she couldn't stand by and watch me be bullied by you, so she went to that reporter and told her all that nonsense."

"I don't really care, but you've gone too far with Sister Yu Rong. Although your husband and brother-in-law's deaths are related to her, you can't spread rumors about her and ruin her reputation like this. I think you've all heard some of the rumors about her before. Yesterday, her injustice was finally cleared, and now you're doing this again. What do you think people will think of her? Public opinion can destroy a person, and now she can't clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River. What can I say to you?"

Although I didn't want to criticize her anymore, I still needed to make her understand the consequences of this matter. Otherwise, if she suddenly does something like this again, I can't bear it.

"I'm sorry, I've already insulted my sister." Jiang Ruixiang raised her fragrant lips and kissed me, then pulled my hand inside her nightgown, covering her full breasts. Although there was a bra in between, the feeling was almost the same as direct contact. Seeing her fawning over me like this, I couldn't bear to scold her anymore. The wonderful sensation from her palms stirred my heart, and the sweet scent emanating from her body made me restless. My hand, which had been covering her breasts, began to move.

"Mmm...hmm..." Jiang Ruixiang squinted her eyes, her red lips slightly parted, emitting soft, kitten-like moans, seemingly enjoying herself. Seeing her alluring appearance, my desire slowly rose. My other hand wasn't idle either; it slipped under the hem of her nightgown and kneaded her round, pert buttocks with varying pressure.

Jiang Ruixiang's face flushed, her full, soft body pressed against mine like cotton, her watery eyes radiating desire, and soft moans escaping her lips, teasing me relentlessly. My hands roamed over her chest and hips, occasionally lowering my head to lightly peck at her alluring lips. Jiang Ruixiang tilted her head back to meet my kisses, her breathing gradually becoming heavier. Suddenly, she parted her red lips slightly and murmured, "Yulin, did you and that beautiful secretary actually do it... ah..."

The last "ah" was a punishment as I pinched her nipple hard, causing her to cry out involuntarily. I was both annoyed and amused; even at a time like this, she hadn't forgotten Cheng Yurong. It seemed she still cared a lot about what happened between Cheng Yurong and me. I slapped her hard on the buttocks, laughing and scolding, "What do you take me for? Sister Rong is pretty, that's true, but not so pretty that I'd make such a big sacrifice for her, right?"

"You make it sound nice, but I think the real reason is that she doesn't even look at you. She's someone of status, you know. I advise you not to waste your time. Even if you went through fire and water, she probably wouldn't care. In the end, it would all be for nothing."

Jiang Ruixiang opened her small mouth and gently bit my shoulder, then said with a determined jealousy, "I don't know how she bewitched you. Isn't she a widow like me, just a little prettier? I don't believe that Yuqing and I combined aren't as good as her alone. But why are you willing to make such a sacrifice for her, while ignoring Yuqing and me?"

"You're really jealous." I gave her plump buttocks a good squeeze, then said earnestly, "Sister Xiang, you should know why I'm helping Sister Rong, but you insist on thinking the wrong thing, right? Admittedly, a man wouldn't be a man if he didn't have impure thoughts when he sees a beautiful woman. Although I also have the surname Liu, I'm not a saint. It's normal to have impure thoughts, but it's just a physiological instinct, and it has nothing to do with helping her. Sister Xiang, if you're always so prone to jealousy, I dare not bring you home, otherwise my peaceful home will be turned upside down by you."

"If you were nicer to her, why would she be jealous?" Jiang Ruixiang said somewhat resentfully, "Do you think it would be pleasant for me to lower myself and be subservient to your other women?"

I sighed and said, "Sister Xiang, I know you feel wronged, but Yu Mei and the others are wronged too. It's all my fault, I've ruined you all..."

"At least you have some self-awareness. You're such a troublemaker." Jiang Ruixiang "gently" pinched my back, then said with seductive eyes, "You bad thing, you took my body and then left me to my own devices. You have to stay here with me today no matter what, and you can't think about any other woman."

"Your real intention isn't the wine, you probably don't want me to keep you company, but rather my brother," I said with a smirk, my hand grabbing her breasts hard.

Jiang Ruixiang gave me a charming sidelong glance, blushing and scolding, "Who cares about your naughty thing? If I had cut it off last time, would you still be so smug now?" Although she said that, her slender hand reached for my bulging crotch.

"You little slut, you dare to talk back? I haven't settled accounts with you for what happened last time." I slapped her plump buttocks hard with some annoyance, then grabbed the collar of her nightgown and ripped it in two. Her thin, cicada-wing-like nightgown was instantly torn in half with a "rip," completely ruined, and her voluptuous body, which only covered her three points, was exposed before me.

My goodness, she's incredibly sexy. Her thong, so narrow it couldn't possibly conceal her lush, bushy vulva; plenty of pubic hair was sticking out, seemingly greeting me openly.

"You little pervert, what's with the rush? You tore my clothes, you have to pay for it!" Jiang Ruixiang said, feigning resentment but actually delight, her seductive charm teasing my senses.

"You little slut, who told you to tease me?" I laughed, giving her buttocks a quick pat before pressing her beautiful head against my crotch. "You wanted me to pay you, so I'll pay you with a ten-foot spear."

"Tch, you don't know your place, do you really think you're some kind of giant cannon?" Jiang Ruixiang spat shyly, obediently freeing my little brother from her pants. After nearly two months, my previously bare penis had grown back about half an inch of pubic hair. Perhaps recalling her "glorious achievements," Jiang Ruixiang chuckled and said, "So cute." As she spoke, she gently stroked my penis with her slender hand.

Enough was enough! I angrily slapped her, "You little slut, still… oh…" She truly was a vixen; she launched a sneak attack while I was speaking, taking my already wobbly penis into her mouth and skillfully sucking and swallowing it.

Jiang Ruixiang's oral skills were truly impressive; I almost groaned from pleasure. Although I had enjoyed her oral skills before, I hadn't been able to see her expression face-to-face. Today, I finally had the chance to make up for that. Her beautiful face, flushed with a lewd aura, wore a seductive smile that drove me mad, and her large, watery eyes radiated a burning desire that was hard to resist.

Watching a beautiful woman thrusting between my legs would fill any man with pride. A sense of conquest slowly welled up within me, and my eyes began to blaze. In a few swift

movements, I tossed her torn nightgown aside and removed her back-clasp bra, completely freeing her full, firm breasts. With each rise and fall of her head, her two snow-white breasts bounced in the air, creating ripples that made my heart race. Under

Jiang Ruixiang's ministrations, my thick, saliva-covered penis became even more powerful and erect, especially the purplish-red glans, which gleamed brightly, clearly ready for action. Jiang Ruixiang, ever the mischievous one, gently held the glans in her mouth, occasionally licking the tip with her tongue, sending waves of urgency through me.

"Alright, stop licking. Get over to the edge of the bed, I'm going to fuck you." Although I greatly admired her oral skills, it would be too embarrassing to ejaculate after just a couple of sucks, so I pulled back from the brink. Hearing my vulgarity, Jiang Ruixiang's pretty face turned even redder, and she gave me a flirtatious glance before obediently getting over to the edge of the bed, sticking out her plump, white buttocks. Seeing her so cooperative, I couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. I quickly removed my clothes and stood naked behind her.

"Stick it out higher." I reached out and slapped Jiang Ruixiang's white buttocks hard, then reached out to pull down the thong that was deeply embedded in her buttocks. Jiang Ruixiang gave a soft moan, sticking her buttocks out even higher to facilitate my movements, and five faint finger marks slowly appeared on her white buttocks. Although I'm usually gentle with women, seeing her plump, white buttocks, I still couldn't help but feel an urge to slap them.

I knew perfectly well that Jiang Ruixiang had aroused this impulse in me. It was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, or a lover encountering a harlot; Jiang Ruixiang's masochistic and sadistic tendencies awakened the dark desires within me. In fact, everyone, regardless of gender, has slight masochistic and sadistic tendencies, but some people have these tendencies more strongly, which is why there are so-called SM enthusiasts.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really slutty, all wet." I teased, holding up the soaking wet thong in my hand.

Jiang Ruixiang blushed deeply as I teased her, her flawless white skin turning pink. She wriggled her hips, feigning annoyance, and said, "You naughty thing, you just know how to bully me! Hurry up, stop teasing me..."

"Slap." I slapped her plump, white buttocks again, then chuckled, "You're really quite the vixen, say something nice..."

Jiang Ruixiang's vixen was truly extraordinary. She raised her plump, white buttocks, which were slightly red from my slap, high, exposing her still-dripping, wanton vulva between her legs to me. She even turned her head and gave me a flirtatious wink, then smiled sweetly and said in a seductive voice, "Good brother... good husband... stop teasing Xiang'er... give Xiang'er your big cock..."

"You little slut," I muttered, swallowing hard. Jiang Ruixiang's seductive charm was utterly intoxicating. My lust was burning, and I could no longer restrain myself. I forcefully spread her buttocks apart, and my erect penis found its way into her paradise. With a powerful thrust, I filled her honeyed hole, reaching right to her core.

"Ah...so full...good brother...fuck Xiang'er to death...ah..."

"Slap...slap...slap..." The sound of our hips colliding was deafening. At this moment, all technique seemed superfluous. I began to thrust wildly and mercilessly, my penis penetrating to the very bottom each time, reaching the tender core of her honeyed hole. When I withdrew, it almost completely pulled out, causing the tender flesh inside her honeyed hole to fold back out, only to be squeezed back in with each thrust. This cycle repeated until Jiang Ruixiang cried out and moaned incessantly.

"Good husband...you're so great...Xiang'er wants more...faster..." She moaned as she thrust her plump buttocks back, fiercely responding to my thrusts. At this moment, she was completely immersed in desire, reacting almost entirely on instinct. I also completely opened my heart, wholeheartedly throwing myself into this incredibly pleasurable carnal struggle, because this kind of unbridled indulgence is not something one can enjoy at any time.

"Ah...good brother...Xiang'er is going to be fucked to death by you...ah...it's coming again..." Under my fierce onslaught, Jiang Ruixiang's orgasms came and went, and after two great climaxes, she showed extreme exhaustion. Although her plump buttocks were still raised high, her entire upper body was limp on the sheets like noodles, and her beautiful head was buried in the pillow, only occasionally letting out sobbing moans.

The once pristine white sheets were now a tangled mess of sweat, semen, and other fluids, resembling a splashed-ink landscape painting – a testament to the intensity of the encounter.

"Huff...huff..." After more than half an hour of relentless thrusting, I was drenched in sweat, panting heavily. Jiang Ruixiang was in even worse shape; her snow-white skin had turned a rosy hue, and the constant flow of sweat had soaked her completely, making her look like a water rat, and soaking a large patch of the sheet beneath her.

Pleasure condensed in my lower abdomen, and I was nearing the point of climax. My eyes were bloodshot, and I was exhaling hot breath. I wrapped my arms around her slender waist and launched a fierce attack, my glans striking her tender flower core again and again like raindrops, making her moan softly: "Ah... I'm going to die... It's inside my belly... Ah... I'm going to die... Good brother... Good husband... You're going to fuck Xiang'er to death..."

With Yu Mei and Ruolan, we usually had gentle and tender encounters, and it was rare to have such a violent and fierce attack like this. The two methods gave me completely different feelings.

With Yu Mei and Ruolan, I felt a wonderful sense of fusion and unity, where emotion outweighed lust, and psychological satisfaction surpassed physical pleasure. But this frenzied thrusting, like now, was more of a physical release, a desire outweighing emotion. Although the physical satisfaction was stronger, I always felt something was missing.

"Ah… I'm dying… I'm flying to heaven…" Jiang Ruixiang finally couldn't hold on any longer, her flower opening wide, releasing a torrent of fluids. The tender flesh inside her honeypot contracted violently, as if countless tiny hands were tightly gripping my penis, squeezing it forcefully—the feeling was similar to milking.

Already at my limit and on the verge of climax, I was first drenched in her vaginal fluids, then squeezed by the contraction of her tender flesh. A jolt ran down my spine, my ejaculation surged, and scalding semen sprayed like machine gun bullets deep within her, causing her to scream in pain. Her incredibly sensitive clitoris opened wide again, releasing another torrent of fluid. The two orgasms occurred almost without pause, the intense pleasure causing the long-deprived Jiang Ruixiang to faint from ecstasy.

My penis twitched inside Jiang Ruixiang's vagina for a long time before the last drop of semen was squeezed out. Exhausted, I collapsed onto her slender back, panting heavily. After a long while, I calmed down and withdrew my limp penis from her honeypot. As it was pulled out, a yellowish-white liquid flowed from her honeypot, running down her thighs onto the already messy sheets, adding another heavy stroke to the landscape already painted with filth.

I gently pulled the unconscious Jiang Ruixiang into my arms and began to caress her tenderly. Under my caresses and kisses, she slowly regained consciousness. Seeing my concerned eyes, she smiled shyly and kissed me, then buried her head in my chest, whispering shyly, "I'd only ever heard that women faint from ecstasy when they reach their peak, but I never thought I'd experience it myself today. Yulin, thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience. I really can't live without you anymore."

"Sister Xiang, don't worry, I won't leave you, and I won't let you feel lonely or isolated again." I kissed her hair, my tenderness growing stronger.

Her slender hand lingered on my still sweat-drenched chest as Jiang Ruixiang said softly, "Yulin, don't try to comfort me. I know that in your heart, I can never compare to your other women. Yulin, I understand that your tolerance towards me is already quite remarkable, and I know that I've gone a bit too far, but I just can't bring myself to bow down and apologize to your other women. Yulin, will you blame me?"

“Sister Xiang, I understand how you feel.”

I reached out to kiss her, a pang of heartache in my eyes, but she stopped me with her hand. “Yu Lin, listen to me. I’ve thought a lot these past few days. Although I’m unwilling, I understand that some things can’t be forced. In your eyes, I see more pity than anything else, which isn’t what I want. Yu Lin, I don’t blame you, because I was the one who forced you into this relationship.”

She looked up at me, saying, “Yu Lin, I don’t ask for much. I don’t want to force myself into your life and cause you trouble or distress. I’ll be content if you can come and visit me from time to time.”

I fell silent. Jiang Ruixiang was telling the truth. I did feel more pity than genuine romantic love for her.

“You don’t need to feel guilty. It was all my fault for being so foolish and scaring you away.” Jiang Ruixiang smiled bitterly, a hint of melancholy in her expression. I didn't know what to say, so I just held her tightly. If she hadn't treated me that way back then, perhaps our story would have been very different, but history never has "what ifs.

" "I'm sorry, I've bothered you again." Seeing my serious expression, Jiang Ruixiang tilted her rosy lips and kissed me, then chuckled, "Yulin, although you're not exactly outstanding in appearance, you make people feel very safe, and you're an excellent lover in bed. Although I still regret not being able to truly hold a place in your heart, being your sexual partner is enough to comfort me; at least that way I can often experience that unforgettable pleasure."

I couldn't make any further promises to Jiang Ruixiang at this moment, so I could only put the matter aside for the time being. Sensing a hint of disappointment in her expression, I chuckled and gave her ample breasts a squeeze, saying, "Sister Xiang, putting everything else aside, your prowess in bed is quite impressive. We really are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I'm curious, how have you been coping these past few days? Aren't you suffering?"

"Why are you asking this? I'm embarrassed to say," Jiang Ruixiang said, her face flushed with a rare shyness.

But this only fueled my curiosity, so I pressed on, "Sister Xiang, we've gone this far, what's there to be embarrassed about? Masturbation between men and women is perfectly normal. Are you afraid I'll laugh at you?"

"I'm afraid of you..." Jiang Ruixiang hesitated for a while before finally whispering the truth in my ear: she and her daughter-in-law, Mo Yuqing, were mutually satisfying each other with their mouths and hands. It wasn't a big deal, but thinking of Mo Yuqing's usually dignified and elegant demeanor, I felt a little strange and amused.

Seeing the smile on my face, Jiang Ruixiang blushed and pinched me, then whispered, "My sister sometimes comes over, and the three of us sometimes play together. Speaking of which, it was my sister who taught me this trick. By the way, Yulin, you probably wouldn't believe it, but it was my sister's idea to prank you last time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with such a dirty trick. It's all my fault for being so easily swayed and listening to her. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be avoiding me like the plague now."

"Sister Xiang, you're exaggerating. I didn't mean to avoid you. But your sister is too wicked. You'd better not listen to her again and cause any more trouble." So it turns out all this was related to that sexy and flirtatious Jiang Ruizhu. No wonder I felt something was off about Jiang Ruixiang last time, so different from my previous impression of her. It was all because of Jiang Ruizhu's meddling.

“I know without you saying it. She regrets listening to her nonsense now. She kept saying things like ‘you can’t be too nice to men,’ and ‘men are all sluts; the less you treat them well, the more they’ll swarm you like flies.’ Who knew you wouldn’t fall for that?” Jiang Ruixiang’s seemingly remorseful attitude increased my liking for her. To be fair, Jiang Ruizhu’s words weren’t entirely unreasonable, but not all men are sluts. At least I have absolutely no interest in those self-righteous women.

“Yulin, are you interested in having Qing’er accompany you?” After a moment of silence, Jiang Ruixiang suddenly looked up at me and said.

I was taken aback and said, "Sister Xiang, what do you mean by this? Haven't you caused me enough trouble already? Are you deliberately trying to make my backyard burn while you laugh at me?"

Jiang Ruixiang rolled her eyes at me, then pouted and said, "You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart. You're all lust and no guts. I only said that Qing'er could be your sex partner like me, I didn't say you had to take responsibility, what are you afraid of?"

"Sister Xiang, Yuqing is still young, why don't you let her find someone to marry?" I asked, frowning. I wouldn't have any reservations about middle-aged women like Jiang Ruixiang, but I still had some concerns about young girls like Mo Yuqing.

Jiang Ruixiang sighed and said, "How could I not have thought about it? Before Qing'er married Peng'er, she had a lover, but later Qing'er was pressured by her family to marry Peng'er, and the two of them fell out because of it. Speaking of which, I also bear some responsibility for this. Parents always side with their children, right? When Qing'er didn't want to marry Peng'er, I was the one who talked to her parents. At that time, Qing'er's twin sister was having a conflict with her family because she wanted to go abroad..."

Jiang Ruixiang didn't continue, but I could already guess what was going to happen next. After a pause, she continued, "I originally thought Peng'er would settle down after getting married, but I didn't expect him to still be out there indulging in a life of debauchery, only making Qing'er suffer. Alas, it's all because of my selfishness that she's been ruined."

"Last month, during a casual chat, we inadvertently talked about the past, and I encouraged Qing'er to go see her ex-boyfriend, because I knew that Qing'er had never forgotten him, and he was still unmarried. Qing'er actually went, but she went full of hope, and came back crying. Her ex-boyfriend called her a 'vain bitch' and a 'shameless slut.' How could Qing'er bear that? If I hadn't been carefully comforting and taking care of her, Qing'er might have done something foolish."

Heartbroken people are everywhere. It seems that Mo Yuqing couldn't escape the tricks of the goddess of love either. This naturally reminded me of Zhang Yijing. Although their experiences were not quite the same, the final outcome was similar. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Sister Xiang, since this has happened, why would you ask her to come with me? Isn't that just rubbing salt into her wounds?"

"No, from a psychological perspective, when people are emotionally traumatized, they often seek physical release and satisfaction. That's why many people indulge themselves after being emotionally hurt. Qing'er is heartbroken right now. Perhaps only such an extreme method can help her get rid of the shadows in her heart and rekindle her confidence in life."

"Sister Xiang, I still feel that this is not a good idea. Please don't do anything rash." I was still deeply skeptical of Jiang Ruixiang's words.

Jiang Ruixiang glanced at me sideways and said with a smile, "Heh, why are you so nervous? I was just saying. Maybe Qing'er doesn't even look down on you, this old man." Heh, I've been tricked by her again. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

When Jiang Ruixiang and I went downstairs, it was already getting dark outside. Four people were eating in the hall. Besides Mei Yuqing and Mo Yuqing, there was that flirtatious Jiang Ruizhu and a girl I had never seen before, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from her appearance, she bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Ruizhu, so she must be Jiang Ruizhu's daughter, the cousin Mei Yuqing had mentioned to me before.

Seeing us come downstairs, the women all wore ambiguous smiles. Mei Yuqing stood up and greeted us, saying, "I thought you wouldn't be down so soon, so I didn't wait for you."

Jiang Ruixiang naturally understood the ambiguous meaning in her daughter's words, blushed, glared at her daughter, and quickly found a seat. Mei Yuqing pulled me to the seat next to her and also introduced me to her cousin, Tong Yuhan. Her enthusiasm was almost unbearable, especially in front of everyone, but she seemed completely oblivious, constantly piling food into my bowl: "Try this, it's delicious and very nutritious..."

"Pfft." Jiang Ruizhu was the first to burst into laughter, followed by Mo Yuqing, who had been looking rather forlorn. Only the little girl, Tong Yuhan, seemed to understand, glancing at us all as if she didn't quite grasp what we were saying.

Hearing her daughter's blatant words, Jiang Ruixiang blushed even more, repeatedly calling her a "brat," prompting the little girl to ask curiously, "Auntie, my cousin didn't say anything wrong, why are you scolding her?" Her innocent question naturally elicited another round of giggles from the girls, and what could I say but a shameless, awkward laugh?

"Yulin, would you like some wine?" Perhaps she couldn't stand being teased by her daughter and sister, Jiang Ruixiang got up to take a bottle of red wine and a few wine glasses from the cabinet, and asked me with a flushed face.

Remembering the embarrassing things I'd done while drunk before, I shook my head and said, "Let's not drink. I never drink at home."

Before Jiang Ruixiang could react, Jiang Ruizhu, sitting next to her, winked at me and said, "Oh, what man doesn't drink? Is it because the women at home are controlling you and won't let you drink?"

This flirtatious woman was actually provoking me. I raised an eyebrow, suppressing my displeasure, and said, "No, that's not it. I just don't drink."

"Don't drink? Hahaha..." Jiang Ruizhu laughed wildly, as if she'd heard something hilarious. "That's too funny! A man as promiscuous as you who doesn't drink? I don't believe it even if you beat me to death. Uh, are you even a man?" My brows furrowed involuntarily. This woman was far too audacious.

Seeing my displeasure, Jiang Ruixiang, sitting next to her, quickly said, "Yulin, don't take it to heart. Ruizhu just likes to talk nonsense. Just ignore her." She then reached out and tugged at her younger sister, saying reproachfully, "Ruizhu, you should have some sense of propriety when joking. You've already caused enough trouble. If you keep this up, your sister will get angry."

"Oh, sister, are you worried? It was just a joke," Jiang Ruizhu said to her sister in a coquettish voice, making me cringe. I really couldn't believe her daughter was still so flirtatious even at her age.

Jiang Ruixiang sighed helplessly, poured herself a glass of wine, and then asked me for confirmation, "Yulin, are you really not going to drink? This is a low-alcohol wine, it won't make you drunk."

I was about to shake my head, but seeing the disdain on Jiang Ruizhu's face, I nodded and said, "Give me a glass." Jiang Ruixiang quickly handed me the glass she had poured for herself. I took it and took a sip. It was sweet, and indeed, it didn't taste like alcohol much; it was more like a soft drink.

Jiang Ruizhu saw me take the glass and chuckled, "That's more like a man, don't act like a woman." As she spoke, she snatched the wine and glass from her sister, poured herself a glass, and then poured one for Mo Yuqing, who was sitting next to her looking rather dejected. "Qing'er, don't be sad anymore. It's not worth being sad over that jerk. Come on, let's drink, let's get drunk and forget our troubles."

"Aunt Zhu, you're right, let's drink." Mo Yuqing forced a smile, then raised her glass and downed it in one gulp. She drank too quickly; a few drops of red wine trickled down her chin and neck, the wine appearing a blood-red hue against her pale skin, strikingly bright. I watched, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Qing'er, why are you drinking so fast? Slow down," Jiang Ruixiang said, her voice tinged with concern and apology.

Mo Yuqing turned and gave her mother-in-law a reassuring smile, then shook her head, saying, "Mother-in-law, it's alright. Didn't you say this wine won't get you drunk?" She poured herself another glass, then raised it to me, saying, "Uncle Liu, I'd like to toast you. I hope you'll treat Mother-in-law well in the future and not hurt her anymore."

"I will," I silently drank my wine and nodded gently.

Sitting next to me, Mei Yuqing enthusiastically piled food into my bowl, saying with concern, "Eat some food first." Perhaps noticing my slightly unhappy expression, she smiled and said, "What's wrong? Cheer up! Come on, eat some food. I still need to toast you and Mom later. It wasn't easy for you two to get together."

Yes, there have been quite a few twists and turns in the process, I thought to myself, my eyes involuntarily glancing at Jiang Ruixiang. Just then, she looked at me, and our eyes met unexpectedly. Jiang Ruixiang blushed and lowered her head shyly. Seeing Jiang Ruixiang's rare shyness, my heart fluttered slightly. Jiang Ruixiang was much more adorable now. Judging from her attitude towards Mei Yuqing and Mo Yuqing, she was still kind at heart, perhaps influenced by her flirtatious younger sister.

The dinner ended amidst clinking glasses. Everyone except Jiang Ruizhu's daughter, Tong Yuhan, who was forbidden from drinking, had consumed alcohol.

I didn't drink much; aside from feeling a little hot, I felt fine. The women, on the other hand, drank quite a bit. While not drunk, their faces were flushed, and their eyes were watery and alluring. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. What I couldn't stand was that they didn't treat me like a man at all. Already dressed scantily, they shamelessly displayed their voluptuous curves in front of me, giving my eyes a real treat.

"You guys keep chatting, I'm a little hot, I want to take a shower first." Feeling my little brother getting restless, and to avoid embarrassment, I made an excuse and escaped into the bathroom. As I closed the door, I could still hear Jiang Ruizhu's unrestrained laughter. Leaning against the door, I shook my head with a wry smile, thinking to myself, "This Jiang Ruizhu is really incredibly slutty. I wonder how her ex-husband could stand it?"

"Phew, that feels good." I lay in the warm bathtub, the lazy feeling making me want to moan. The slight lust in my heart slowly subsided. With a clear mind, I poured water over myself, thinking about the present and the future.

In about ten days it will be June, and the villa should be finished. I plan to have Yu Yi and her daughter Ya Shi, Yu Mei and her daughter Ruo Lan, and Wan Qing and her daughter Xiao Yan move in with me and Yingying. I didn't spend much on the villa's renovation because I'm not the kind of nouveau riche who thinks they're above everyone else. The main expense was on furniture, and the biggest project was repainting the walls, because the women didn't like the original color scheme.

Although the stock market fluctuated in May, my stocks were largely unaffected. People often say there are no invincible generals in the stock market, but at least for now, I seem to have achieved that. In just six months, my wealth has skyrocketed from two million to over seven hundred million, and it continues to grow—it's truly a miracle. However, neither I nor my women have become arrogant or complacent, which makes me very gratified.

After learning that my assets exceeded one hundred million, Yu Mei and the others stopped asking about my stocks, so they don't know exactly how much money I've made. They didn't ask, and I didn't tell them, not because I wanted to hide anything, but because I didn't want them to place too much importance on money.

As for Jiang Ruixiang and Mei Yuqing, the mother and daughter who haven't fully integrated into my family, they are even less aware of my current financial situation. All they know is that I made a fortune in the stock market; in their minds, turning two million into tens of millions is practically a fantasy, so they never imagined I'd achieved something they couldn't even comprehend.

The more money I make in the stock market, the more cautious I become. Initially, I used two accounts—one for myself and one for Ruolan—to trade stocks. Now, I've opened four new accounts under the names of Yumei, Yuyi, Wanqing, and Yijing. Although each account still holds over 100 million yuan, this dispersed approach is much more discreet than concentrating all funds in one account. I feel my mindset is good; I think this is probably due to my near-death experience. Having seen through life and death, why would I be foolish enough to flaunt my wealth for a little vanity?

For some time now, I've been closely monitoring several stocks related to Tenglong Group and Shiyuan Group. I haven't told anyone about this, because my style is always to do more and say less, and act first and talk later.

I haven't taken any action on Shiyuan Group's stock yet, mainly because I don't want to alert them. Also, for a stock market with daily trading volumes in the tens of billions, my current 700 million yuan is still a bit insufficient; I need to accumulate more capital. Based on the intelligence I've gathered from various sources, Shiyuan Group isn't exactly having an easy time right now. Their main business is real estate, and the real estate market in QH City this year is far less booming than it was two years ago.

As for Tenglong Group, it's under investigation for its involvement in a major corruption case in QH City. The company's stock price has plummeted in the last two months, shrinking by nearly half from its peak of 28 yuan per share in early March, and it continues to decline.
