Ninety-nine Women Born with a Lonely Star (Complete) - 18

Chapter 185 Unexplained Heartbreak

Duan Tianya originally wanted to comfort this woman who had just experienced such a thing, but he felt that Su Su might be more suitable for the task, so he simply said a few words to Su Su and left without even saying goodbye to Lin Ke'er.

Where did Duan Tianya go? He went to Xue Yan's school.

Xue Yan was studying, completely absorbed in a book.

Duan Tianya stood by the window for a long time, watching Xue Yan's long hair draped over her shoulders, her expression particularly focused, giving off an indescribable serene beauty. Perhaps he had been standing there for too long, because some classmates inadvertently glanced outside, and Xue Yan also inadvertently glanced out. When she saw Duan Tianya standing at the window, her smile bloomed like a fairy flower, she casually tossed aside her book, and quickly walked out.

"You've come!"

Duan Tianya nodded. "I just came to see you. Why did you come out?" "This period is a self-study period, the teacher isn't coming! I just wanted to come out! Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you anywhere!" "Going to some boring place!" Xueyan laughed. "If it's a boring place, then don't go. Did someone force you to go?" Duan Tianya smiled back. "

Come with me to go boating, okay? I want to go boating. My classmate invited me to go boating last time, but I didn't go. I want to wait for you to come with me, okay?"

Duan Tianya shook his head. "It's school now. You should stay in the classroom properly, otherwise your teacher will hold you accountable.

" "Tch, the teacher won't hold me accountable. I'm very good at making up stories. I can make up one beautiful and moving story after another, and the teacher will only be able to nod in agreement!" Duan Tianya touched his chin.

Xueyan grabbed his hand. "Take me with you. I want to go play. Skipping class occasionally is good for studying. The way of learning is a balance of tension and relaxation!" "Right?" she said, smiling, her lips curling into a wide grin.

This was clearly illogical, but Duan Tianya couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Duan Tianya was dragged out of the school gate.

The oars began to move, ripples spreading outwards across the lake. Xue Yan's rowing skills were truly terrible; after rowing for a long time, the boat was still just circling on the surface.

Duan Tianya squinted at his sister, who was already sweating profusely from exhaustion. His eyes and lips were filled with only a smile.

Xue Yan tossed two oars to Duan Tianya, her lips curling into a wide grin, "Here you go, smiling without helping." A cool sensation landed on his hair, face, and neck, a gentle, pleasant coolness.

Duan Tianya placed the oars in the water, and with a few light strokes, the boat moved towards the center of the lake.

Xue Yan stared at him with wide, beautiful eyes, "How can you row the boat so easily? Why can't I?" You need to maintain your balance; one oar is for paddling, and the other is for adjusting the course; the emphasis is different.

"Let me try," Xueyan said, extending her hand to him.

Xueyan was certainly the kind of person who learned quickly.

Although her face was streaked with tears from exhaustion, the smile in her eyes deepened as she rowed the boat herself.

Suddenly, Xueyan's face flushed. She hesitated, as if wanting to

speak but stopping herself. Duan Tianya, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong?" Xueyan's lips were tightly pressed together.

Duan Tianya felt the atmosphere suddenly become strange. "What's wrong?" "I've fallen for someone," Xueyan said softly.

Duan Tianya was taken aback. He had thought about this question, but never deeply. Xueyan was a girl, an extremely beautiful girl. Many people would surely like her, and she would eventually leave him, falling into someone else's arms. For some reason, he suddenly felt a strange pang of heartache.

"Very good," he said softly, looking at Xueyan. He gently lit a cigarette.

"Don't you want to ask who he is?" "Oh!" Duan Tianya nodded symbolically. "Who is he?" Xue Yan smiled brightly. "I won't tell you! But I'm willing to go to the ends of the earth with him." Duan Tianya looked at the stunningly beautiful girl before him. He was lost in thought. She was leaving him? She really was leaving him. Was even his closest confidante leaving him? Was loneliness truly his destiny? He thought of Han Yan, a flower that withered in its most beautiful moment.

Withered in his hands.

His tone became heavy. "Yan'er, falling in love is a good thing, but love is a double-edged sword. It can lead you to heaven or plunge you into the abyss. Many people in the world are hurt by love, and I am one of them. No matter when or where, I hope you are doing well!" "Can I bring him to you to see him?" Duan Tianya nodded sadly. "Okay, bring him to me when you feel ready."

The lake water was clear and transparent, the sky was blue and distant... Duan Tianya felt a strange, indescribable feeling in his thoughts.

He knew there was a kind of feeling called inexplicable, and another called heartbreak.

He didn't know which one his current emotions belonged to.

Chapter 186 A Woman's Tenderness is an Aphrodisiac

The message arrived, and Duan Tianya opened his phone. "It's urgent, please come to my house immediately, Susu!" Looking at Xueyan, who was rowing with great enthusiasm, Duan Tianya really didn't want to spoil her fun.

He lit another cigarette.

"Xueyan pouted, it seems you're going to have something to do again, let's go ashore!" Duan Tianya looked at Xueyan with admiration, "You're still having fun, aren't you!" "Wrong!" Xueyan flicked her bangs, "Did you think I came out to row?" "I came out to enjoy the mood."

"Haven't you heard the story of the man from the Jin Dynasty who went to meet his friend on a snowy night? His friend's servant said his master wasn't home, and he could wait if he wanted, but he said, 'I came for the mood. Now that I've come, and the person is here, my purpose has been achieved! What's there to be unhappy about?' So he went back amidst the heavy snow." Duan Tianya looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a different gaze for the first time.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'll be embarrassed, you know?" "Go do your work, and come back as soon as you're done. I have two plans for you!" "What plans?" Duan Tianya's interest was piqued.

Xue Yan pursed her lips, "I won't tell you! You'll find out when you get back!" Duan Tianya was speechless. But he found this little girl increasingly charming.

Once ashore, Duan Tianya tried to put on a stern face, "Don't run around during class anymore!" "Ah, I'm more wronged than Qu Yuan, more aggrieved than Dou E! Didn't you bring me out? Do you think I'd dare run around alone like that?" Duan Tianya was speechless. He clearly sensed that Xue Yan in front of him had changed significantly from the reserved and indifferent girl she used to be.

"Let's go," Xue Yan waved to him.

"Remember to bring me the boy you like." "I know! Stop nagging!" Duan Tianya smiled and strode away.

When Su Su opened the door, Duan Tianya peeked into the room. Finding no one there, he pulled the fiery Su Su into his arms. Su Su, before he could finish his tenderness, slipped out of his embrace.

Her face full of coquettish reproach, "You men! Never enough! You were having fun last night, and today you're touching me again."

Duan Tianya gently squeezed her hand. "No way, yesterday was just to complete a mission. My feelings for you were genuine, I couldn't help myself, my darling!" "Sweet talker, you say that to every woman, don't you?" "No way, you can only believe half of what a man says, and even that half can't be entirely believed!" "Ah, Duan Tianya's hand has already reached her arm. You overestimate us men too much! We're not as successful as you make us out to be!" "Alright, Susu, knock his hand away. Let's not talk about this anymore, we need to get down to business." "What business?" Duan Tianya asked curiously.

Following the crystal ball's instructions, your next target has appeared.

Duan Tianya smiled.

"I pulled her into my arms, and I even doubted if you really loved me." "Why do you say that?" Su Su felt breathless from the hug.

"Of course I'm curious. What woman could so calmly hand her man over to another woman? There's only one explanation: this woman doesn't love this man, right?" "Wrong!" "There's another explanation: this woman loves this man too much, so much that she wouldn't be jealous sharing her beloved man with another woman!" "Is that really true?" Duan Tianya's eyes brightened like never before! I'm

not an ordinary woman; I'm going to help you accomplish something extraordinary. So I won't concern myself with the things ordinary women worry about.

Duan Tianya sighed, "They say behind every successful man is at least one great woman. I used to think it was these women's selfless dedication that made men successful, but now I know it's these women who push men to do things they consider respectable!" "Yeah, you're right, that's exactly it. Men are prone to complacency. Without strong women to support them, how can men keep moving forward? Actually, successful women are the same; behind them are also great women!" Duan Tianya kissed her warm lips, "But the difference is, behind every successful man there can be a great woman, while behind every successful woman there's usually a group of good-natured men!" "Tch," "I knew you wouldn't say anything good. Are you a dog?" "Heh, I don't understand. Even if I were a dog, you wouldn't get away with it!" "You're getting worse and worse, you naughty student! How could you tease your teacher like that? Aren't you afraid your teacher won't tell you where your target is?" "Of course not! I know you're a person who finishes what you start. I'm still a long way from success. If you don't support me, I'll be unambitious!" "Okay, I give up. You're getting more and more ambitious!" A woman's encouragement is clearly more powerful than an aphrodisiac. Duan Tianya's mouth was already extremely dry, and his hand had already slipped inside Susu's clothes. "Mmm!" Susu's moans could no longer be heard outside the door… Duan Tianya carried her into the room. A

moment later, the moans grew louder… The next morning, before dawn, Duan Tianya took the train to Shanghai.

A few hours later, following Susu's directions, Duan Tianya went to a large, old Shanghai house in the suburbs.

A large lock lay in front of him.

He pulled a long wire from his backpack and fiddled with the lock. After a short while, "click!", the lock opened.

Duan Tianya picked up the lock and went inside.

There was a yard with many flowers, but it was clear that no one had taken care of them for a long time; the soil in the flowerpots was very dry.

After walking past the flowerbed for about ten meters, a door blocked his way again.

Similarly, he used the wire to pry open the door.

It was a two-bedroom apartment.

The inside was empty, and Duan Tianya helplessly put down his bag. He began to do some simple tidying.

There were only a few things in the apartment: a bed without a sheet or blanket, a chair, and a table.

There was nothing else, but now there were more: Duan Tianya and his bag.

Looking at everything around him, he felt really sleepy. He pulled up a chair and sat down to sleep.

He didn't care who he was waiting for, because he was just too tired!

He closed his eyes and savored the blissful night before...

Chapter 187 Relativity.
He didn't know how long he slept.

Duan Tianya heard a knock at the door. He rubbed his eyes, stretched, stood up, and walked out of the room. Looking up, he saw the stars were already twinkling in the sky.

The door opened. "Xiaolan, take this suitcase inside." "Okay!" A woman walked in, bending over. It was clear that the large suitcase she was carrying was heavy. "Bang!" The door was slammed open, and another woman walked in.

Duan Tianya shouted, "Who are you! How dare you barge into my house! Get out of here, or I'll call the police!" The girl who had come in first didn't say anything, but the woman behind him rushed in front of Duan Tianya, close to his nose, and yelled, "Who are you? You, you're asking us who we are? Do you have the right to ask?" Duan Tianya liked nothing more than being aggressive, the more aggressive the better. He especially liked turning aggressiveness into something not aggressive.

Duan Tianya grabbed the girl's suitcase, walked to the door, and the suitcase flew out.

"Who are you? Who are you? What right do you have to throw my suitcase?" Duan Tianya chuckled. "You asked who I am? Let me tell you, I'm the owner of this house. I've seen plenty of unreasonable and domineering people like you. I'm telling you, either you get out of this yard obediently, or I'll throw you out too, you believe me?" Clearly, Duan Tianya's words had some effect.

But the effect lasted only a few seconds. The girl walked up to Duan Tianya, glaring at him. Even in the starlight, Duan Tianya could see clearly that she was an exceptionally beautiful girl, but the unnatural arrogance emanating from her made him very uncomfortable.

The girl suddenly laughed. Duan

Tianya got goosebumps the moment he saw a woman laugh, and his whole body went on alert.

He heard the wind whistling past his ear.

Duan Tianya grabbed the hand that was almost touching her forehead.

To Duan Tianya's surprise, the girl's knee simultaneously lunged towards his groin. Undoubtedly, she failed. If she had succeeded, Duan Tianya would have crippled her.

She'd seen ruthless women, but never one this hateful. The moment they met, without a word, she launched a vicious attack. She intended to cripple Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya didn't dodge; instead, he used the opportunity to clamp her thighs together, their bodies intertwined, seemingly intimate. Kissing the girl's fragrant hair, Duan Tianya didn't forget to breathe hot air into her ear.

Her reaction was a reflexive pull of her neck inward. It felt as if she had cooperatively shrunk into Duan Tianya's embrace, and Duan Tianya seized the opportunity to lightly kiss her cheek. The girl, whether shy or trying to escape, shrank even deeper… If no one spoke, no one knew how long this situation would last.

But Xiaolan called out softly, "Miss, what's wrong? Are you alright?" The young lady seemed to come back to life. She shoved Duan Tianya violently, shouting, "You, you, how could you do this to me!" Duan Tianya walked out the door, picked up her suitcase from the ground, and handed it to her. "Tell me, are you planning to stay here? If you are, try to keep your temper in check. I'm not an unreasonable person." "Stay here?" The girl was both amused and exasperated. "I should ask you, who are you, and why do you want to stay here!"

Duan Tianya laughed. "Me? Needless to say, I'm the owner of this house. The day before yesterday, a relative of mine sent me a letter saying they'd reserved a house for me in Shanghai, so I came here!"

The girl looked at Duan Tianya in surprise, as if wondering if he would blush if he lied, but it was too dark to see anything.

"Let me see the letter!" The girl held out her hand to Duan Tianya.

"I didn't bring that letter with me. I'll bring it next time if you want to see it." Duan Tianya used his storytelling skills, saying that the letter mentioned something that was troubling him! "

What is it?" The girl inadvertently revealed her curiosity.

"That letter was written to me by my uncle, whom I'm practically stranger to. It was sent from Taiwan." He also said he and my old man were sworn brothers, and he said, and he said…”

“What else did he say? Hurry up and say it, why are you mumbling like that?”

“He also said he has a daughter, to whom I was betrothed since childhood, and that he suffered a great calamity. He can no longer take care of her, and he wants me to take good care of her.”

The girl was stunned. “What’s his last name?”

“Jiang!”

The girl suddenly turned around and asked Xiaolan, "What's your surname?"

Xiaolan shook her head. "Miss, there are a lot of swindlers these days, you can't listen to his nonsense!"

The girl thought for a moment, "I don't know if what you're saying is true or false, but this house is indeed an inheritance left to me by my father. Look, here are the keys. "

The clinking of a bunch of keys sounded especially loud in the dark!

Duan Tianya was secretly delighted; he had completely destroyed the locks here. These keys were now just for decoration.

Xiaolan suddenly asked, "You said this house is yours, you must have the keys, can you show us the keys?" "Miss, did you even graduate from kindergarten? How can you ask such a high-IQ question? If I didn't have a key, do you think I walked through the wall to get in? Come on, since you're here, I'll take you to your room. Stay one night, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. I think you're both tired and sleepy, and I'm getting sleepy too!

" *Achoo!* Duan Tianya seemed to let out a serious yawn. He knew that if he didn't change the subject, these two girls would keep asking him questions until he was completely exasperated!

Duan Tianya seemingly gently picked up the girl's suitcase. They entered the room, and he began to show them around.

The room was incredibly simple: three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

"Miss, this house can't compare to our villa in Taipei! The conditions are so basic, how can you possibly like living here?" The girl sighed sadly, "Given our current situation, we're lucky to have a place to live! But what I hate most right now is seeing men. If there weren't any men here, I'd be much happier!" Hearing this, Xiaolan secretly made a face at Duan Tianya behind her mistress's back!

This face almost startled Duan Tianya. What Xiaolan revealed to him was a very ugly face, covered in countless pockmarks, and her eyebrows were inexplicably uneven.

Duan Tianya thought to himself, "Only when mistress and servant are together do you truly realize how great Einstein's theory of relativity was!"

Chapter 188 Unacceptable Conditions

Facing the empty room and the lonely bed, it was clear that Duan Tianya could only sleep on the floor.

The two women rummaged around and settled into the bed, so Duan Tianya stopped thinking about it and lay down on the floor, snoring loudly.

The only time he woke up during the night was when the young lady next door came and kicked the door. "You can't snore as loudly as possible, it's impossible for anyone to sleep!"

Duan Tianya would definitely tone it down when he was awake, but once he fell asleep, he didn't know.

The next morning, desperate to relieve himself, Duan Tianya groggily pushed open the bathroom door. As soon as he peeked inside, he saw a naked woman spraying her smooth, alabaster skin with a water heater. The woman's mouth gaped open at the sight of his head.

"Ah, indecent assault!" Duan Tianya felt the basin and showerhead fly towards him.

Luckily, he reacted quickly enough, or he would have been badly injured.

*Bang!* The door slammed shut.

Duan Tianya was now fully awake. "Hey, Miss, are you alright? I didn't mean to!"

Strange, there was no sound from inside. Just as Duan Tianya was about to leave, sobbing began inside. "

Miss, please tell me, did this pervert harass you? I'll get revenge for you!" *Whoosh!*

Duan Tianya saw a kitchen knife flash before his eyes. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his nose would probably be permanently stuck to his face!

Still shaken, Duan Tianya looked at Xiaolan, the "beauty," who was about to strike him a second time. "Stop! I'm telling you, girl, we don't have any deep-seated hatred, do we? You attacked me right away! Do you know this is intentional assault? If you succeed in your sneak attack, you'll be committing murder, you know that?"

"Tch, I don't believe your lies! You tried to rape my young lady, which is the same as trying to rape me! Of course I had to defend myself! We won't show mercy to a liar like you! I'll make you understand that those who bully my young lady pay the price !"

Duan Tianya wanted to explain, but he had no desire to speak to this overly loyal servant. His eyes softened as he looked at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you have some ulterior motive?"

Duan Tianya almost coughed up blood. He had seen confident people, but he had never seen anyone so confident in their looks.

He continued to smile, but his hand was already outstretched—a hand that wouldn't miss.

Xiaolan's knife was taken away. Suddenly, Xiaolan crouched down, covering her ears with her hands, screaming, "Ah! Don't kill me! Miss, save me!"

Duan Tianya froze. The bathroom door suddenly opened, and a woman wrapped in a bath towel stood in front of him. "Please don't hurt her."

Duan Tianya wanted to say it was a misunderstanding, but what came out was, "Please tell me why I should spare her. She just tried to kill me! I could have been dead by now!"

"For my sake, please? She was doing it for me! Besides, she didn't mean it; there was a misunderstanding!"

Duan Tianya nodded. "I like hearing that. I'm not a real pervert! I really didn't mean it!"

The girl nodded. This bathroom didn't even have a latch, so it wasn't her fault. Duan

Tianya was puzzled. How could this girl, who was so unruly yesterday, suddenly become so reasonable? It didn't make sense! Did she accept his fabricated lie? That didn't seem likely either!

My name is Jiang Qin. Well, I thought about this all night and realized you're also a connection, so I'm telling you some things about my situation, hoping to get your help!

You said everyone has a kind heart, and Duan Tianya isn't a bad person.

My family's business is the Taiwanese Huashi Group, which originally had $2 billion in assets. But last month it declared bankruptcy, and my father committed suicide. Before he died, all he left me was this house. But he didn't tell me about you, and I don't know if what you're saying is true.

But I can bear the pain of losing a loved one, so even if you're lying, I have nothing to say. I just hope you'll treat us as the person you described and take good care of us. I have no relatives left!

Tears, like tiny beads, flowed freely… Duan Tianya hadn't expected this, but he didn't disappoint this woman who had suffered such a tragedy. I will try my best to help you.

What we need to do is to rebuild our family as soon as possible. I have some money; go buy us some things. I'll make a list later; we need everything we need for daily life.

Xiaolan and I will look for jobs. I don't have much money; our immediate priority is to find work to support ourselves.

Duan Tianya initially thought shopping would be easy, but he soon discovered it wasn't so simple. From wardrobes and closets to pots and pans, soy sauce, MSG… he was busy as a bee!

That evening, after he had prepared three dishes and a soup, the two girls returned.

Seeing their disappointed faces as they entered, Duan Tianya knew they hadn't found good jobs. "

Come on, dinner's ready," Duan Tianya said, handing them chopsticks.

The two girls were exhausted and hungry, and their mouths watered at the sight of Duan Tianya's braised fish and fried chicken with soy sauce. Xiaolan said between bites, "I never imagined you could cook such good food. Whoever marries you will be so lucky!"

"Please, marry me, okay? I'm a man!"

"Isn't 'marrying' and 'marrying' the same thing? You mainlanders are so troublesome! Shanghainese are really something else. A beautiful and talented woman like me went to over a dozen companies and none of them wanted me. Do you think Shanghainese have eyes?"

Duan Tianya thought, finding it strange. With Jiang Qin's looks, finding a job at any company wouldn't be a problem. So what happened?

Xiaolan spoke up, "It's not that Miss can't find a job. Almost every one of those dozen or so companies wanted her. Miss is not only beautiful, but she also speaks French, German, and Japanese. The bosses were all vying to offer her high salaries. But Miss insisted on working there, and that scared them off!"

Duan Tianya looked at Jiang Qin as if she were an alien, then at Xiaolan's face, which was covered in freckles.

He couldn't help but say, "If I were the boss, I wouldn't agree to your request either!"

Chapter 189 She's Ugly, But She's Not Gentle Either.

"Miss, I saw someone frying pancakes over there and they need help. I can go help them!"

How could that be? My Xiaolan, you've grown up with me since we were little. How can I let you do that kind of work? You and I both graduated from National Taiwan University. I think we can find jobs in a few days.

"Miss, we don't have much money left. We can't delay any longer. If I keep following you like this, you won't be able to find a job, and I'll be even less likely to find one. No company likes to look at my face, which I feel sorry for!" "

No, then you shouldn't go to work. I'll work and support you."

"Miss, how can a lady support a servant? You have to listen to me on this matter, otherwise we'll really be starving soon."

"No, you have to listen to me. Although we are mistress and servant in name, we are actually like sisters! Even though we are down on our luck, I can still support you!"

Duan Tianya was overwhelmed by the two girls' arguing.

She stared at them expectantly. The two girls had been arguing, but now they saw Duan Tianya looking at them like they were pandas at a zoo. They yelled at him together, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before!"

Jiang Qin calling herself beautiful was one thing, but Xiaolan calling herself beautiful too... Ugh, this world is hopeless!

Duan Tianya didn't say anything. He held out his hand to the two of them. "

What for? "

they asked in unison.

"Of course I want money! Do you think I own a bank? I bought everything you asked for according to the note you gave me. Do you know how much I spent?"

How much?

The two looked at Duan Tianya somewhat hesitantly.

A whole 20,000 yuan!

Jiang Qin glanced at him disdainfully. "It's just 20,000 yuan, what else is there to say? I used to spend 200,000 yuan on a piano."

"Very well, looks like you've met a rich customer. Hurry up and give me my money back! You don't know, this is my savings for getting married! If I lose it, where will I get the money to marry my wife!"

"Miss, we don't have any money to give him right now. We don't even have 2,000 yuan."

Jiang Qin glared angrily at Duan Tianya. "You little rascal, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? You know we're living in a place like this, where are we going to get the money to give you? If I tell you to buy it, you buy it! If I tell you to jump into the Huangpu River, would you jump?"

Duan Tianya had never been so frustrated. He'd spent money, wasted effort, and even been treated so badly. It seemed like he was never right!

Jiang Qin continued, "What exactly do you do? Your manners are so poor. Even if you can't offer help in a time of need, you can't at least kick someone when they're down!"

Duan Tianya was furious. "I'm a migrant worker! Enough already! " "So what if I'm not well-mannered? Is it wrong to be uncivilized?

" Xiaolan seemed very serious: "Even migrant workers aren't as well-mannered as you. I've heard that migrant workers in mainland China are very honest and simple!"

"Right, you're definitely not a migrant worker. There are no migrant workers with fair skin like you. Migrant workers spend all year on construction sites, so their skin should be dark. Tell me, what do you do?"

Never get entangled with a woman, because once you get entangled with a woman, you'll never be able to stop. Duan Tianya had no choice but to continue making up a story, "I used to be a good university student, but I got into a fight with other students. I got expelled from school and became a nobody, doing odd jobs, no different from migrant workers!"

Jiang Qin nodded, "You do seem like a student."

Xiaolan suddenly looked terrified and stammered, "Sister Xiao, he's not a student like Ma Jiajue, is he?"

Jiang Qin looked at Xiaolan strangely, "Who is Ma Jiajue? What does he do?"

"I saw it online too. A student from mainland China, while his roommates were sleeping, he beat several of them to death with a hammer and then ran away!"

Jiang Qin's pupils shrank as she looked at Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya laughed, "I'm a good person, I don't like killing people indiscriminately!"

"Miss, no good person claims to be good, only bad people claim to be good!"

Duan Tianya squinted at Xiaolan, "I say, you're very strange. Did I have a grudge against you in a past life? Why are you always insulting me? I'm Ma Jiajue, and I'm still so good to you, even buying you things! Have some common sense!"

Duan Tianya thought to himself, "Damn it, what kind of person is this Ma Jiajue? This little girl comparing him to me is an insult.

" Jiang Qin coughed, "Xiaolan, I think he's quite good to us, it shouldn't be like what you say! Don't be suspicious!"

"Miss, anyway, we need to be careful. Didn't you notice? He looks at you, often with a wicked smile on his face! He's obviously not a good person! He has ulterior motives!"

Jiang Qin looked at Duan Tianya meaningfully: "Is what Xiaolan said true? You often look at me with a wicked smile?"

Duan Tianya almost wanted to kick the old woman in front of him into the Pacific Ocean!

But he knew he couldn't, so he put on a smiling face: "Xiaolan is right. I do often look at you with a mischievous smile, but you know it's all because of your legendary fairy-like beauty. It makes me fantasize whenever I see you. If that's wrong, I'm willing to keep making that mistake!

No woman dislikes being praised for her beauty, even if she's the ugliest woman in the world. Every woman overestimates her own beauty. (To pursue a woman, you need to praise her beauty relentlessly, even her flaws. She'll quickly fall in love with you, especially with women who are average-looking. Don't praise very beautiful women; a more aloof attitude will pique her interest. Truly beautiful women are praised too much and have a strong immunity to it!) Jiang Qin was a beautiful woman, but she was also addicted to praise. Therefore, Duan Tianya's words made her develop a strong liking for him!

"Xiaolan, don't be suspicious. Actually, he's been very good to us. We had nothing before, and now he's bought us so many things. He's been very good to us!" Xiaolan pouted, wondering if he had ulterior motives towards them.

Jiang Qin smiled shyly, "Men are all like that!" Damn, that sounded so ambiguous, Duan Tianya couldn't help but chuckle mischievously again, though Xiaolan didn't miss it. She glared at him with disgust once more.

Duan Tianya felt his emotions were activated by being with these two girls, and his heart became cheerful. So, while washing the dishes, he even hummed a little tune. Xiaolan came in and saw him. "Don't be too happy yet, I'll expose your ugly face sooner or later!" Duan Tianya's smile deepened as he looked at her. Just as Xiaolan was about to leave the kitchen, Duan Tianya's hand reached out in front of her face. She subconsciously froze for a moment, and in that moment of hesitation, Duan Tianya's hand had already given her full breasts a good squeeze!

"You pervert!" Duan Tianya quickly wrapped his arms around her from behind and covered her mouth!

"Don't make a sound!"

Chapter 190 Beauty has its advantages, ugliness has its wonders.

Duan Tianya felt his hand bite down hard.

He wanted to scream in pain, but he held back.

He wrapped his arms around Xiaolan even tighter, and gradually Xiaolan stopped screaming; she no longer had the strength to bite.

"Let go, let go of me! I can barely breathe from your hug!

" "Now you know how powerful I am," Duan Tianya suddenly realized that the numb woman's breasts were actually quite steep, very smooth to the touch. Squeezing them with his hands felt like a rapid surge of desire. Duan Tianya leaned his head towards her neck; it was very white, smooth and black, exuding a faint fragrance. Duan Tianya suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, but his grip didn't loosen; instead, it tightened. "

Let go, let go! I can't take it anymore!"

Duan Tianya, of course, couldn't let her have her way so easily. "

I'm telling you, you have to promise not to make things difficult for me in the future, understand? Otherwise, today's events will repeat themselves." "

I understand, I understand, hurry up, let go..." Duan Tianya understood what "appropriately" meant. As

soon as he let go, Xiaolan squatted on the ground, panting heavily. "

Hey, what's wrong with you two? I asked you to wash the dishes, and you're panting like that?"

"Me? I... She asked me to teach her push-ups, so I taught her." Duan Tianya answered while gesturing.

"Yes, I'm doing push-ups. I'm doing push-ups."

"Why are you doing push-ups in such a small place? If you want to do push-ups, you can go to the yard!"

"Yes," the two answered in unison. "

By the way, Xiaolan, I have some good news for you. We've been hired by a big restaurant." "

What for?" Duan Tianya asked curiously. "

I'll be the general assistant, and she'll do logistics."

"Logistics?" He understood—it meant cleaning.

Indeed, there are all sorts of people in a big forest. It's amazing that a boss could hire someone as beautiful as Xiaolan. But when he heard that Jiang Qin was to be the general assistant, Duan Tianya understood. "

General assistant! Great!

" "Great what?" Jiang Qin asked Duan Tianya curiously.

"Nothing, I just feel it's great to be with a big boss!"

"Really? I don't think so. Your thinking is different!"

"Really? I don't think so. People who think differently are either geniuses or idiots, haven't you heard that?"

Jiang Qin smiled. There was some truth to that.

The next morning, the two took a taxi out, with Duan Tianya flagging it down and following. They went to

the five-star Imperial Capital Hotel. Duan Tianya stopped the doorman. "Could you tell me how to get to the HR department?" he asked. "The last room on the third floor." Duan Tianya went upstairs and opened the HR door. A manager with a large face and a plump figure looked up at him. "What's up? Is there something you need?" he asked. "Do you hire anyone here?" Duan Tianya replied. "We hire a certain type of person every day, but your qualifications aren't suitable." "What kind?" he asked. "High-class service girls! " Duan Tianya laughed. "You're joking," he said. "I thought I'd apply for a security guard or bodyguard position at your hotel, something that would suit me better. The job you mentioned might not be suitable for me because of my gender!" "Young man," Duan Tianya said, "we do hire security guards and bodyguards, but you know last time I hired a soldier from Fujian." He brags about himself like he's some kind of superhuman, but when a customer encountered two Dazai (a derogatory term for a Chinese spacecraft), he actually abandoned the customer and ran away. Because of this, the boss suspended my salary for three months, and I've never dared to hire anyone casually since. "Hmm," Duan Tianya nodded. "Okay, can you demonstrate?" The manager looked at Duan Tianya with a playful yet slightly expectant expression. Duan Tianya picked up a large glass from the table, squeezed it with both hands, and shards of glass fell to the floor. " I'm going to damage this wall a little. Nobody's going to make me pay for it, is they?" "No, absolutely not." "Okay," Duan Tianya threw a right hook, followed by a straight kick. Boom! Concrete flew everywhere, leaving two holes, one large and one small, in front of the manager. "Good, real skill. I'll take him." The manager grabbed Duan Tianya's hand. "From now on, you'll be the head of my security department. With skills like yours, we can easily handle any situation. Young man, work hard for me, and I definitely won't treat you unfairly!" " Thank you for your guidance, Manager!" The manager seemed to be in high spirits. "What we need here are truly capable people. As long as you're truly capable, you'll definitely achieve great things here." Duan Tianya was assigned to be the security manager. The manager led Duan Tianya to the security room and pointed to a dark-skinned young man sitting in front of the surveillance equipment. "Wang Hui, go and call everyone over." "Yes, Manager." Soon, all 20 security guards were called over. The manager began to speak, "In our security department, we value merit. Now we have a new colleague. What's your name?" " Duan Tianya." " Hmm, Duan Tianya is new, but we've always had a rule here: the security department only has one head. So, Wang Hui, you handle it!" Duan Tianya knew he had been forced into a corner, with no way out! In the training room, Duan Tianya stood motionless. A square ring. Ah, the former security head, Wang Hui, began to attack. He leaped and delivered a back kick, which Duan Tianya blocked with his hand. But this kid wasn't one to be trifled with; he actually made Duan Tianya's arm feel a jolt. Duan Tianya didn't give him any more chances, kicking him hard. Wang Hui flew out! But Duan Tianya grabbed his hand. Just when everything seemed to be over, Duan Tianya felt a knife coming down on his face. Duan Tianya was completely enraged. "You ungrateful wretch! You repay kindness with ingratitude!" Without dodging, Duan Tianya met the oncoming knife with his palm. Everyone was stunned, even the person in the hotel's secret room was shocked. In a contest between two strong, it was a matter of who was stronger. Which was harder, Duan Tianya's hand or Wang Hui's knife? The knife broke, crisp and loud! And with it, the trust in humanity broke. Duan Tianya gave his opponent no chance, because being gentle to the enemy was being cruel to oneself!

He threw a punch with all his might, like a broken knife!

What does a kite look like when its string breaks? That's how Wang Hui flew out.

Wang Hui landed without a scream, only a muffled groan! "

Your kung fu is ruined! "

Duan Tianya said calmly.

Wang Hui's face was deathly pale. He forced a breath and said, "I'm willing to accept defeat. You're more ruthless than me, I accept my loss wholeheartedly." "

Alright, that's settled. From now on, Duan Tianya is your leader!"

The manager waved to the others, telling them to go back to their work.

Duan Tianya picked up Wang Hui and walked out.

In Wang Hui's rented room

, Duan Tianya knocked on the door. A pretty woman looked at him with a hint of fear.

Seeing Wang Hui in Duan Tianya's arms, she cried out, "Hui, what happened to you?!"... Duan Tianya carried him inside and placed him on a simple bed.

The woman worriedly held Wang Hui's hand, "Hui, are you badly injured? I told you to quit this job a long time ago. I knew you were bound to get into trouble sooner or later!" "

Sister-in-law, it's alright. He's just injured; he'll be fine after three to five days of rest. You should leave this place.

Okay, I have nothing more to say. I'll take him with me when I leave. Thank you!

It's nothing!" Duan Tianya took out a card from his pocket. "Sister-in-law, I'm Wang Hui's friend. I can't help much with his injury, but I have some money in this card; consider it a small token of my appreciation!"

Duan Tianya placed the card down and walked out of the house amidst their astonishment. "The card number has six zeros! Good luck!"

…Duan Tianya had 100,000 yuan in that card!

But he didn't feel any remorse, because he had crippled the martial arts skills the man used to make a living!

Duan Tianya stood in the monitoring room, watching everything in the hotel.

Actually, he only cared about one thing: where was Jiang Qin?

And where was Xiaolan? Of course, Xiaolan wouldn't cause any worry, because everyone knew the reason.

That's the beauty of beauty, and the wonder of ugliness!

Chapter 191 The Pervert in Action Duan Tianya

stared at the screen in front of him, but others didn't know that he was actually only paying attention to the boss's office.

What was Jiang Qin doing?

She was typing a document in front of a computer, smiling. He seemed to be in a good mood. Duan Tianya didn't drink tea much, but he was holding a cup in his hand, the aroma filling the air, and he closed his eyes.

The game had only just begun.

While Duan Tianya was lost in thought, a woman walked in—or rather, a beautiful woman, a very beautiful woman. Duan Tianya was quite immune to beautiful women, having seen many beautiful women and shared many beds with them. However, this woman who entered still surprised him a little.

Because of her gait.

So light, so agile, like a swallow.

There was no doubt that she was a woman skilled in martial arts.

You are...

Duan Tianya felt that given his current status, it was better to take the initiative and ask questions. He was the leader here, and now that a stranger had walked in, he naturally had to inquire about the situation. " Your

skills are quite impressive," the woman said with a smile.

Duan Tianya laughed. "Many people have praised my skills, but you're definitely the first woman to do so! What brings you here? This isn't a place you can just come and go as you please!

" "Is that so?"

The woman's smile was alluring and seductive. "I can go to any corner of this hotel! Do you believe me?"

Duan Tianya laughed. "I believe you. Since you say that, you must have a reason.

Good, that's interesting. I like it. I'm a straightforward person." "Man, I only have one question. Give me the answer."

"Alright," Duan Tianya said, taking a sip of tea, "I'll answer anything you ask." "

With your skills, why did you come to this hotel?"

Duan Tianya smiled faintly. "Do you want the truth or a lie?"

The woman laughed. "How do you tell the truth? How do you tell a lie?" "

Do you see that woman on the screen?

" "Yes," the woman nodded.

"That's the truth.

And the lie?

" "The lie is still her."

The woman laughed, a laugh even brighter than before. "You're a very straightforward person. I like straightforward people. You want to steal my dad's girlfriend? You've got guts! Aren't you afraid I'll tell him you're trying to steal my dad's woman?"

Duan Tianya Duan Tianya picked a tea leaf from his teacup, chewed it vigorously, and said, "I don't think you would!" "

Why?" "

I don't think you would," Duan Tianya replied with his usual smile, though now it had a slightly reckless air.

The woman laughed, "That's not necessarily true. I'm the most fickle person. I never keep my word, I have no sense of responsibility towards anyone, and I do whatever I want!"

"Very good," Duan Tianya nodded. "We're somewhat alike. If we cooperate, we should be a good pair."

The woman smiled, but with a hint of melancholy. "All my partners are dead."

Duan Tianya smiled.

The woman turned and walked out. "Go," she said, but turned back at the door. "I won't tell my father about you."

"Why?" Duan Tianya asked with a smile. "

You're an interesting person. And I don't want you to die so young. If you die so young, you won't be my partner anymore."

Duan Tianya smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head. "

But I'll tell you something, something very important, you need to listen carefully.

My hearing has always been excellent.

We're doing something shady. Since you've inadvertently become one of us, and are now in such a crucial position, you must keep your mouth shut at all times. Otherwise, she, and you, will..." "A great danger, no matter where on Earth."

Duan Tianya touched his nose, put down his teacup, and asked, "Are you threatening me?"

"No." She answered almost unconsciously.

The woman was surprised by the sudden flash of ruthless glint in Duan Tianya's eyes—an indescribable, piercingly domineering aura! It instantly gave her an unprecedented pressure! "

You'd better watch yourself!"

The woman left.

Duan Tianya felt a pang of regret. He could have done better, but he had been too sharp. Things that are too sharp don't last.

He quickly realized that the beautiful woman hadn't fooled him; they had entered a tiger's den. The hotel was a drug den!

Hundreds of people were gathered there using drugs below.

He sensed the gravity of the situation. Why hadn't he stopped the two men from coming to work? But thinking about those questions was pointless now; the most important thing was to solve the problem.

Suddenly, he received a text message: "

This hotel is a drug den. We can't escape. My place is surrounded. Following their usual methods, my wife and I will be killed tonight. I appreciate your help, but if you can escape, get out of here immediately."

Duan Tianya realized the situation was serious. He had to rescue them first.

Duan Tianya called Jiang Qin, but the phone rang for over a minute without being answered.

He quickly reviewed the surveillance footage.

He saw Jiang Qin lying motionless on the sofa in the general manager's office. A man in his sixties was leering at her.

Duan Tianya rushed out,

heading straight for the general manager's office on the fifth floor. Two burly bodyguards blocked his way. "What are you doing!" Duan Tianya answered with a hook punch.

A powerful swing punch landed on the other bodyguard's forehead.

"Good!" Duan Tianya followed up with two sweeping kicks, and the two men fell like small mountains.

*Crack*, a large hole was punched through the five-centimeter-wide wooden door. He reached in and twisted the doorknob. "

What are you doing!"

A man stepped out, holding a pistol.

Duan Tianya's phone flew out. *Bang!* The phone was smashed to pieces.

Duan Tianya launched a flying kick, and the man immediately pulled the trigger. The bullet whizzed past Duan Tianya's face, but Duan Tianya's flying kick swept across, accurately striking Lai Fu.

Gun parts scattered everywhere... Another pistol was drawn.

Duan Tianya stretched out a belt and wrapped it around the man's hand.

Duan Tianya pulled hard, pulling him towards him. With

a flying kick, the general manager flew against the wall. A heavy thud. Duan Tianya picked up the gun.

He walked to the sofa, pinched Jiang Qin's philtrum, no response, slap, slap, two slaps, Jiang Qin woke up. "

Why did you hit me?" Jiang Qin looked at Duan Tianya with immense anger. "

Come on, you almost fell for that old man's trick!"

Jiang Qin looked at the general manager lying motionless on the ground. "He gave me a cup of coffee, I felt very sleepy after drinking it, and then I don't know anything else."

Duan Tianya helped her up, "Let's go, it's alright!"

Duan Tianya helped Jiang Qin to the door.

A trembling figure stood up.

Bang! A gunshot rang out…

Chapter 192 The Woman Who Took His Soul

"Damn it!" Duan Tianya almost went mad. The pistol flew out, and he flew out with it.

Bang! A huge sound!

The general manager was kicked out of the fifth floor, through the large glass window, and flew out!

Duan Tianya frantically ran to the third floor with Jiang Qin in his arms, smashing the final control system of the surveillance equipment with a loud punch. "What happened?" a security guard ran in. "

It's nothing, it's me. This place has been damaged. You need to call someone right away."

"Yes, boss!"

Duan Tianya carried Jiang Qin straight to the hospital!

Jiang Qin wasn't dead. The bullet had only pierced her arm. She had fainted from the shock.

Xiaolan held Jiang Qin's hand, tears streaming down her face.

"It's okay," Jiang Qin smiled. "

I heard you were shot. I was terrified."

When the two were in the hospital room, Duan Tianya held Jiang Qin's hand. "If you can, don't tell the police that I was involved." "I know. You saved me. I won't hurt you!"

"Just say someone helped you, but you were too disoriented to know what that person looked like!" "

Fine, I'll say whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say.

" Duan Tianya laughed. "It's not as serious as you make it out to be. The police are busy, and they can't solve every case."

Without evidence, they naturally let it go, especially since the deceased was a drug lord.

It was late when Duan Tianya left the hospital. As he walked past the lights, a gun was pressed against his head.

Duan Tianya sighed. "

I knew you'd come looking for me." "

How did you know I'd come looking for you?"

"Intuition." "

Your intuition is very accurate, it's a pity you're about to die."

Duan Tianya nodded. "I have nothing to say about dying at your hands." "I just have two questions I don't understand, could you help me answer them?"

"Go ahead."

"What's it like being the daughter of a big drug lord?"

"Nothing different, my mother was forced by him."

"You're involved in drugs too?"

"No, my profession is assassin."

Duan Tianya laughed. "

Assassin, yeah, I have a friend who's also an assassin, a very skilled one. I wonder who's better between you two."

"Is that so? Then you won't have a chance to know, because you'll soon become a victim of my gun.

How many

people have you killed? 36 underworld bosses. All 36 were competitors of the person you killed.

Is that so? Interesting.

Not interesting at all. You think I killed for him for free? He paid me to kill all 36 of them."

Duan Tianya laughed again. He found this female assassin quite interesting.

"So you killed me to avenge him?"

"No, he paid me."

"Did you tell him I was his enemy?" "No, not me. Anyway, someone told him you were his enemy, even a potential enemy. That's his consistent style—eliminating every potential threat in its infancy." "

Indeed, he deserves to be called a ruthless boss.

He doesn't trust anyone. When he uses anyone, he simultaneously places other informants around them that he deems appropriate. He

's certainly a very intriguing person." "

How much did he pay for my life?"

"One million."

"Heh," Duan Tianya touched his nose. "Looks like I'm quite valuable, actually worth that much money."

I asked him that question too, and he said you're worth that much money.

Duan Tianya nodded silently.

You can shoot now.

Duan Tianya waited a minute, but the gun didn't fire.

You changed your mind!

No, I think letting you die like this is really doing you a favor. Do you dare to bet with me?

Duan Tianya looked back at her gun. Since my life is yours, what am I afraid to bet on?

Guess how many bullets are in this gun. If you guess right, I won't kill you.

Is that so?

Duan Tianya turned and left, disappearing into the night... The gun didn't fire, because Duan Tianya knew there were no bullets in the gun.

If there were bullets, why would there be so much nonsense? Someone who wants your life wouldn't waste time talking to you like that! If she talks to you like that, either she's crazy, or she doesn't want to kill you at all.

She watched Duan Tianya's back for a long time, and gradually a smile appeared on her face.

She also disappeared into the night with him.

Duan Tianya took a shower; he had sweated a lot today.

Someone knocked on the bathroom door.

"Who is it? I'm taking a shower.

" The door was pushed open. "

I just wanted to see how you take a shower."

Duan Tianya, naked, saw a woman.

He was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

Because whatever this woman did, it wouldn't seem strange; someone who dared to kill couldn't be reasoned to do anything.

However, Duan Tianya had absolute confidence in his body.

He wasn't shy, because he enjoyed the feeling of facing a woman naked.

Duan Tianya had to admit, this woman was quite attractive: black jeans, a black turtleneck sweater, long black hair. Her breasts stood out prominently under her black clothes, erect and almost bursting out.

Duan Tianya knew when not to speak; his actions were absolutely precise, his kiss absolutely passionate, his movements as fierce as a leopard, as smooth as a fox. His breath filled the small bathroom instantly. She stood before him, completely naked, her entire body flawless! He caressed her incredibly beautiful shoulders, her delicate arms! Her round, proud breasts, the smooth belly beneath her high chest! Her shapely, round buttocks… She was completely naked, and he held her tightly. Her body, her heart, her soul were all pressed against his; the rest was self-evident… A night of passion left behind only scattered petals and endless lingering affection.

Duan Tianya sat up, a cigarette in his hand. The woman's lighter lit up at just the right moment.

Duan Tianya smiled slightly and lowered his head to light it.

His lips were sealed by sweet lips.

Duan Tianya couldn't tell whether the cigarette or the woman's lips were better. "

I can help you."

"Thank you!"

The woman put on her clothes. She dressed carefully, piece by piece. "

You are my first man."

Duan Tianya nodded; he could sense that. "

But we are not from the same world. I have to leave." "

Where are you going?"

Duan Tianya showed an indescribable longing. "

Back to where I came from." "

Where did you come from?"

"Don't ask me where I came from. If I miss you, I will come to find you." "

How can you find me if you don't know my address?" "

If you have the will, you will eventually find me. Remember, I am an assassin. Assassins always have something special about them." "

Why are you leaving?"

Because you got what you wanted.

What did you get?

The love I wanted!

What is the love you wanted?

A love that lasts a moment, a love that takes a lifetime to forget.

There's a legend where we live that women are born with sin, but if she can have one night of pleasure with the person she loves most in this life, she can be free in the next.

Duan Tianya didn't believe it, but he didn't say it aloud.

I'm leaving.

When I leave, I'll erase all traces that threaten you. You should leave here too!

Is there nothing left for you to cherish here?

Yes! But the most beautiful things should remain in your heart. Only what remains in your heart can be eternal!

Duan Tianya was speechless!

She left, leaving silently, just as silently as she came.

It started raining outside... Duan Tianya felt a sense of loss for the first time.

Like his soul had fallen somewhere.

Chapter 193 The Brother's Woman

Duan Tianya thought of someone.

Wang Hui.

The cigarette he stubbed out.

Outside the house Wang Hui rented, the sun was red, as red as blood!

The wind rose, and a large tree beside the house let its leaves fall freely.

A solitary figure knelt on one knee, the other hand resting on a long knife.

Blood still dripped from the blade!

Seven or eight people lay beside the knife, lifeless.

A delicate figure knelt beside him, sobbing.

He walked up to him. He

saw his face, eyes slightly closed, expressionless. The knife wounds on his body were countless; not a single piece of his clothing was intact.

Duan Tianya's hand trembled.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm late!"

He had already opened his eyes,

revealing a pure and genuine smile. "

I didn't expect you to come, but I couldn't swallow my anger, as if I was still waiting for something." "I've waited for you."

Duan Tianya choked up.

Because even the most skilled doctor in the world couldn't save him. "

What do you want to say?"

Wang Hui, trembling, leaned on the knife, his lips parted in a trembling voice, "You, you, you ruined my skills, but you couldn't stop me from using acupuncture to unleash my potential. I didn't let these beasts defile my woman..." Duan Tianya was speechless.

Wang Hui struggled to raise a finger, trembling as he pointed at the woman beside him.

"Brother, I haven't had a single friend in my 26 years, but I believed we could be friends, but there's no chance in this lifetime. I have one last request.

Tell me.

Take care of her for me, for the rest of

your life." "No," Duan Tianya said firmly. "

Listen to what I have to say before you decide." His voice grew softer and softer, and his head drooped . Duan Tianya went up and supported him.

"Listen, I am, I am, a poor soldier... She doesn't, doesn't, doesn't despise me, doesn't care about her family, everyone in her family objected, and she ran away with me. I told her I could give her happiness, but I, I can't..." He couldn't speak.

Duan Tianya could feel him trembling, and blood was pooling on the ground.

A smile, he could only use a smile that only a man could understand to plead with Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya put his ear close to his mouth.

A very soft voice, tsk, tsk... Duan Tianya spoke very softly, "Brother, I promise you, go in peace." Wang Hui's smile froze, but his smile was absolutely from the bottom of his heart!

He didn't hear what Duan Tianya was about to say.

"Brother, I'm sorry. If there's an afterlife, we'll definitely be friends, drinking together..." He collapsed, a satisfied smile on his face, because he believed that the person worthy of being his friend had fulfilled his greatest wish in his last breath:

to give happiness to the woman he loved.

Hui... A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air above the migrant worker's house.

The air of pain suppressed the rising sun.

Duan Tianya picked him up, his woman following closely behind.

Hours later, Duan Tianya and Wang Hui's woman stood at the entrance of the funeral home.

The woman held an urn of ashes in her hands. She stood there, motionless, her eyes unblinking, like a statue.

Duan Tianya kept smoking.

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't. It wasn't that he couldn't speak, but he didn't know how to speak to a woman so consumed by pain. "

I can't have you."

The woman looked at him indifferently.

"I can have any woman, but I can't have his woman."

Duan Tianya finally looked directly at Hui's woman, a very delicate woman with small, pretty features, a tall and straight figure, and eyes that seemed to see right through one's soul. "

I understand what you mean. This is yours, here you go.

That credit card."

"Why?"

The woman looked at him indifferently. "I want to forget everything here. I only want Wang Hui in my mind. Nothing else matters to me anymore. What's the use of money without Hui! Only Hui can give me happiness, money can't!"

Duan Tianya accepted the card.

He respected the woman's decision.

This was a woman worthy of respect.

He saw her onto the train.

Standing in the waiting room for a long time, the only thing he did was smoke. He kept smoking.

He gave her Xueyan's phone number.

She accepted it.

But he also knew that she would never come looking for him.

He was never a person who followed rules, but he couldn't have this brother's woman.

If he did, his soul would never find peace!

Chapter 194 Not Much Love Can Be Relived

When Duan Tianya saw Jiang Qin again, she was already being helped by Xiaolan to walk around the hospital.

Duan Tianya, in a panic, prepared a large bouquet of lilies.

Women love flowers, and Jiang Qin was no exception; she was clearly in a good mood when she received the flowers. "

Xiaolan, why don't I just leave the hospital? This hospital can make you sick even if you're not sick."

Xiaolan said gently, "How can that be? You're not completely recovered yet. We need to take good care of you. Once your injury is healed, you can go wherever you want!"

Duan Tianya nodded, "Yes, you're better now, you can go anywhere."

"Really? I want to go swimming in the sea, can you take me?" "

Of course," Duan Tianya smiled.

A bright smile!

A Ferrari drove into the hospital.

A very photogenic scene unfolded before Duan Tianya: a man in a suit, radiating sunshine, stepped out of the white sports car, holding a huge bouquet of red roses. Judging by the size, there were at least 999 roses!

The man walked straight to Jiang Qin's side.

"Darling, I've been looking for you so hard! I've finally found you."

Jiang Qin's bright face instantly turned icy. "Why are you here?" "I'm sorry, you should leave. I don't want to see you."

"Why?" "I've been looking for you. You know what? Qin, I've almost gone crazy since I left you. I've missed you day and night." "

Is that so?" Jiang Qin sneered. "Then why did you tell me we're over? I asked you why, but you wouldn't say anything?" "No, it's because my parents forced me to say it. They said if I didn't agree to break up with you, they wouldn't give me a single penny."

Jiang Qin's smile grew colder. "No wonder, you finally told me the reason. Aren't you leaving? If you don't leave, I'll call 110!"

Jiang Qin turned to leave.

"Don't go!" The man grabbed Jiang Qin's other, unaffected arm. "

Qin Qiu, if you don't want to make things ugly for everyone, please let go of my hand."

"No, Qin, I won't let go. We've been together like we've been in love for three years."

Yes, we've been in love for three years, but you took back everything you said without a word. Do you think someone like you deserves even a little bit of my affection?

No, give me a chance. Now all my parents' assets are in my name. With me, we can live a happy life. You like yachts, right? We can buy the best one. You like helicopters, right? I'll immediately have someone order one from Rockefeller Company in America. You want to travel the world, right? I'll take you once you're healed!

Jiang Qin looked at Qin Qiu's sincere face. "Do you want me to change my mind?" Qin Qiu

nodded vigorously. "

Okay, pick one of those roses from your hand."

Qin Qiu, bewildered, did as she was told, picking the brightest rose from the large bouquet. "

Miss, you're just going to forgive him like that?" Xiao Lan stomped her feet angrily.

Duan Tianya also sensed something was wrong. "

Put it on the ground."

Qin Qiu obediently placed the flower on the ground at her feet. "

Stomp on it hard with your foot."

Qin Qiu truly didn't understand her meaning, but even if there was an icy river in front of him, and he was told to jump in to show his loyalty, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

He obediently raised his foot and stomped hard on the rose.

The most vibrant rose shattered into petals beneath his feet.

Jiang Qin looked at the spirited Qin Qiu, "You want to go back to the way things were?"

Chapter 195 Five Shrews

Qin Qiu nodded vigorously.

Jiang Qin nodded with satisfaction, "Do me a favor, and if you can do it, I might consider it."

Qin Qiu looked eager, "What are the conditions? Even if you want to go to the moon, I'll have a space shuttle send you there."

The moon, Jiang Qin smiled, a very alluring smile. "It's not so cold up high, and my health hasn't been good lately. You have ulterior motives, don't you?"

"No, no," Qin Qiu said with a seemingly genuine apology. "

Hmm," Jiang Qin ignored him, "I won't let you pluck the moon or steal the stars. You restore the rose you just trampled to its original state before you ruined it, okay? Can you do that?"

Qin Qiu's longing gaze gradually turned to disappointment, then to anger. "

Jiang Qin, aren't you playing me?"

"Yes, I'm playing you. So what? You abandoned me when I was at my lowest point, in my most difficult time. Can't I play you? Let me tell you, playing you is the least of my worries. Maybe I'll get fed up with your harassment and spend 20,000 yuan to buy one of your legs, believe it or not?" "

Jiang Qin, how can you be so cruel? Don't you have even a shred of affection for me?"

Jiang Qin laughed. "

What are you laughing at?" "

I'm laughing at how despicable and foolish you are.

Do you know that dating you was the biggest mistake I've made in my 26 years? Do you think I'll make the same mistake again?" Qin Qiu's tone suddenly became almost pleading. "Have you never liked me?" "

Yes, but that was a long, long time ago. Why bring up something from so long ago?" "The reason I say this is to completely sever ties with you. I don't hate you, you know?" "Do you know why?"

Qin Qiu looked blank. "

Because hating someone also means you still love them." "You know what? I don't even hate you anymore. What are you still babbling about?

Fine, Jiang Qin, you'll regret this. I'll make you taste what regret really feels like!

I never regret the decisions I make, and you're not someone who will make me regret anything! Not before, not now, and never will be!" Jiang Qin's tone was icy cold.

*Whoosh*, 999 roses were slammed to the ground at Jiang Qin's feet.

The Ferrari sped away.

Jiang Qin suddenly felt dizzy, and Duan Tianya caught her just in time.

"I want to go back."

Duan Tianya nodded.

That afternoon, in the hospital room,

Jiang Qin was lying in bed reading.

Suddenly, five burly women, each weighing over 200 pounds, barged in. "

Are you Jiang Qin?" the leader asked, pointing at Jiang Qin. "

Yes, I am. And you are?"

"That's good."

The five women pounced on her. Xiaolan, seeing their aggressive approach, quickly stepped in front of them. "What do you want?" "

Get out of the way!" Xiaolan was kicked away,

landing right on Duan Tianya, who had just gone out to wash fruit.

Duan Tianya helped Xiaolan up. "Hey, what do you want?"

The leader shook her head and shrugged. "Don't meddle, or you'll get hurt. Someone asked us to teach this woman a lesson."

Duan Tianya touched his nose and lowered his head. "Don't force me. I don't like hitting women." "That doesn't mean I won't hit women." "

Is that so?" The shrew revealed a seductive yet nauseating smile. "You don't like hitting women, that's commendable, but I like hitting men. Sisters, don't waste your breath on him, let's take this pretty boy down first, then deal with the woman on the bed."

Five women pounced on Duan Tianya like tigers.

Duan Tianya kicked out, but the shrew closest to him fell.

The others swarmed in.

Judging from their stances, Duan Tianya realized they were sumo wrestlers. If these women caught him, they'd probably crush his bones. He was fine with a few injuries, but if these women crushed Jiang Qin, she'd be seriously injured, if not crippled.

As he leaped, Duan Tianya used his acupoints to manipulate the women, and in less than ten seconds, the burly men lay on the ground groaning.

He grabbed a fruit knife from the bedside table and gently sliced across the shrew's face.

"Do you want me to slash you? This knife, while not enough to cut a hair, should be more than enough to slash your face, don't you believe me?"

The shrew ignored him. "

Fine, maybe you don't care, but I don't think any man likes his woman with a painted face, and your man certainly doesn't, right?"

A look of fear appeared on the shrew's face! "

Fine, I knew no woman dislikes a man who doesn't want her.

What do you want to do?" The shrew's face was full of suspicion. "

Tell me, who sent you?"

As the shrew hesitated, Duan Tianya increased the pressure of his knife. "

No, I'll tell you, it was Qin Qiu." The shrew closed her eyes in pain. "

Why didn't you say so earlier? I knew it was that bastard Qin Qiu."

Duan Tianya released the pressure points of the women. "You can go now. I can support you all here. Go back and tell that bastard that if he sends anyone to harass us again, I'll make sure he says goodbye to this world forever." "

Okay, okay," the shrews nodded respectfully to Duan Tianya. "We will definitely pass on the message."

Duan Tianya politely escorted them to the door and waved goodbye.

...Duan Tianya then used the knife to peel fruit for Jiang Qin.

He handed the peeled fruit to her.

Jiang Qin took it and took a small bite. "Not bad, tastes great!" "

Of course, of course my apple tastes good!

" "How could it not taste good if I peeled it?" "

Really? I didn't notice."

Jiang Qin turned to the side and asked with great enthusiasm, "How did you take down those behemoths? You don't know, the moment they fell was almost like an 8-magnitude earthquake. My heart almost jumped out of my chest."

"Really?" Duan Tianya smiled. "

Yes, Miss is right, they really were enormous. It's not easy to see even one person that heavy, and here were five of them."

Jiang Qin put the apple on the table, still horrified. She couldn't believe Qin Qiu was such a bastard, so ruthless.

Duan Tianya laughed, "It's nothing, I just couldn't think straight." "Are you two getting along really well?" "

Well, what's so good about it? This guy chased me for three years, but I never officially agreed. I only officially agreed last month, but then my family had a major crisis, and he immediately turned on me. When I was at my lowest point, he broke up with me without giving any reason.

Now he wants to get back together? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

(Chapter 196: Encountering Liu Yifei

) "There aren't that many reasons. There are more things in this world with reasons than without.

" Jiang Qin laughed. "That's true, let's not talk about that boring person." Duan Tianya shook his head

. "He won't give up." "

Let him not give up. Anyway, I don't want to see him. At first, I just didn't want to pay attention to him, but I didn't expect him to do something so despicable. Now I wish I could take a knife and slash him a few times."

Duan Tianya pinched his nose. "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

Jiang Qin nodded. "Go ahead, Xiaolan will take care of me here."

Xiaolan also said, "Go take care of your business quickly, we'll wait for you to go back together." "

Okay."

Duan Tianya turned and left.

Duan Tianya bought a new phone, withdrew some money, and was on his way to the hospital when the phone rang. Duan Tianya smiled; he hadn't expected a call so soon after the connection was turned on. "

Hello, who is this?"

"Hello," Duan Tianya felt a smile on the other end of the line. "Do you still remember me?" "This is Liu Yifei?"

Duan Tianya laughed. "Of course I remember, your concert." "Hehe!

Hehe, your memory is really good. I'm currently filming a short film in Shanghai. I heard from your teacher that you're in Shanghai. I'd like to ask you out for coffee, do you have time?"

"Hehe, a beautiful lady like you

asking me out? Even if I don't have time, I do! Where would you like to go?" "

Okay, at Yulinglong Coffee Shop, 1320 Guangjiao Road. I'll be waiting for you in the innermost private room on the second floor." "

Okay, I'll be there on time."

Tianya hung up, called Jiang Qin, and then took a taxi.

The café was quite unique, with an octagonal table, two stone chairs opposite each other, and a bamboo grove just two meters away. A small river flowed beside the bamboo grove, and with the ethereal lighting, Duan Tianya truly felt as if he had stepped into a dreamlike realm.

As he entered, Liu Yifei, dressed simply, appeared.

Her beauty was beyond description. She smiled at Duan Tianya and extended her hand, which he gently shook.

The two sat down at the octagonal table, and Liu Yifei refilled Duan Tianya's coffee. "

The ambiance is lovely," Duan Tianya remarked, looking around. "

Yes," Liu Yifei smiled, "It truly is like a fairyland. Ever since 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' was filmed, I've particularly loved environments like this. Maybe it's a case of 'actress syndrome,' haha."

A beautiful woman's smile is intoxicating, and Liu Yifei's smile was like drinking fine wine—sweet and delightful.

Duan Tianya took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Jin Yong's martial arts world is inherently beautiful, making readers feel naturally immersed in it. You've made so many of his films; you've definitely been completely assimilated by him."

Yes, beauty is the most beautiful language in the world. The most beautiful things are subtle, clear, distant, and serene... I feel the same way; it's a state of mind free from thought and action, where one can forget oneself.

Martial arts are essentially fairy tales for adults.

Yes, fairy tales are always more beautiful than reality.

Yes, fairy tales are always beautiful because they can be created by people, while reality is always cruel, with more regrets than beauty.

Why do you say that? Even with your successful career, do you have anything you regret?

Of course I do, and my regrets are no less than those of the average person.

Is that so? Duan Tianya's eyes showed curiosity!

Would you like to hear my story?

Chapter 197: A Past Watered by Tears

It's an honor.

Her thoughts seemed to drift back to a long, long time ago… It was winter ten years ago, at Wuhan Airport. A ten-year-old girl nestled in her father's arms, tears still wet on her small face. The impending separation left her bewildered. She could only silently count the prickly stubble on her father's chin with her little fingers… Her father took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, but they never stopped flowing. He said tenderly, "Feng'er, go back. Listen to your mother while Daddy's not here."

No matter what her father said, she didn't respond. Finally, surrounded by her family, her father led her towards the security checkpoint. Near the checkpoint, her father knelt down, wanting to give his daughter a tight hug, but she suddenly broke free from his embrace and ran towards the terminal… The plane soared into the sky, but she remained crouched on the ground, staring longingly in the direction the plane had flown away, crying out, "Daddy, Daddy, I want Daddy…" Her parents were divorced.

At this point, Liu Yifei smiled at Duan Tianya, "Do you know who this girl is?"

Duan Tianya paused. "If I'm not mistaken, this little girl is you."

She smiled. "Yes, it's me. My nickname is An Feng. My parents divorced when I was 10."

Duan Tianya didn't ask why. "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

From then on, I hated my father.

Because he made me a child who was bullied by my classmates. Once, one of my classmates said I was a child without a father. I stretched out my long fingernails and scratched him, angrily scratching his face..." Duan Tianya smiled, a very happy smile.

She liked this little dragon girl who had always had a unique style. "

Mom told me that parents' divorce is an adult matter, but both Mom and Dad love you equally. Don't you remember how often you were sick as a child? Every time, Dad would carry you to the hospital. If you wanted fried chicken legs, no matter how late it was or how long the queue was, he would buy them for you..." But I cried bitterly. "If Dad still loved me, if he couldn't bear to part with me, how could he leave me? Do you know how scared I was every windy and rainy night? Does he know?" If he still loves me, why do my classmates say I'm a child without a father? Why do they bully me? He gave birth to me, so why did he abandon me? What is the reason? Is it because Feng'er is naughty? Did Feng'er upset him? If he's willing to come back, I'll become very obedient, I won't upset him anymore. Even if it means not eating my favorite chicken leg… Feng'er, whenever this happens, Mom always holds me and cries.

Liu Yifei's eyes were filled with tears.

Duan Tianya also choked up a little.

Can you understand? She looked at Duan Tianya. A tear had already slid down her cheek, leaving a tear trail on her perfect face.

Duan Tianya sighed, and after a long time, said, "I've never seen my parents before." "

Oh," Liu Yifei smiled, her smile full of sympathy, "Then you've suffered much more than me." Duan Tianya

smiled faintly, "It's nothing, they both passed away when I was very young." "

Then you've suffered more than me. Some feelings can only be understood by those who have experienced them."

"Maybe," Duan Tianya changed the subject. "So, are your parents okay now?"

"No, some things are like mirrors; once broken, they can never be put back together." "

But I've forgiven my dad. To see him, I studied English like crazy at school, failing all my other exams, haha." "

The power of family."

"Yes, he's in America. Back then, my biggest wish was to go to school there because my dad was there. As long as I was with him, no one would say I was a child without a father anymore." "

Then you must have gotten your wish!"

"Yes, I went to America. My dad found the school for me; I didn't know it at the time."

"Haha, my dad is so good." "

Yes, when I first arrived in America, my dad emailed me explaining how to quickly adapt to American life, helping me understand American customs. He sent me a letter every day, even covering issues a mother should consider."

Duan Tianya laughed, saying he was a good father. "

Yes, at that moment, all my previous resistance to my dad crumbled in an instant. I was completely moved by his long-lost warmth. I read every email he sent carefully, often replying to him word by word with tears in my eyes." We've gone back 10 years.

Perfect.

Perfect, Liu Yifei smiled, almost perfect. My mom has found an uncle now. I tried to set my parents up, but it didn't work out.

Duan Tianya smiled, "Don't feel regretful, some loves can't be rekindled."

"Yeah, I understood later, but I still have a regret, a regret for our whole family. I hope you can help me."

Duan Tianya smiled faintly, "Go ahead, as long as it's within my power." "

The girl at my concert a while ago, who looks almost exactly like me, I heard she's your sister, right?"

Duan Tianya nodded, "Yes, you could say that! What happened?

Last time I went back to see my mom while rehearsing, I told her I saw a girl who looked almost exactly like me. Surprised, my mom told me a shocking secret!"

Chapter 198 Liu Yifei has a sister?

What secret?

My mom said she didn't give birth to just one child. After the doctor delivered me, my mom was still screaming in pain. Later, the doctor unexpectedly discovered there was another baby inside her. My mom gave birth to twins. It

's truly a shocking secret.

Duan Tianya squinted. You have a twin sister?

Yes, that's what my mom said. I made an overseas call to my dad to confirm, and he said the same thing. But my sister disappeared the night we were born.

What happened?

I'm not sure. Apparently, the night we were born, a nurse at the hospital was fired for some offense, and my sister disappeared with that nurse.

That night, it rained heavily… When my dad came to his senses, he searched every corner of the hospital but couldn't find my sister.

The next day, he mobilized all his relatives and friends, posted missing person notices, and even reported it to the police, but my sister seemed to have vanished into thin air and never appeared again.

Oh! Duan Tianya fell into deep thought. He was now facing a problem he didn't want to face: if Xueyan really was Liu Yifei's younger sister, should he return her to them?

"Back then, my parents divorced, and the stated reason was incompatibility. But another important reason was that my mother always blamed my father for not taking good care of his daughter, for losing my little sister. My father was also deeply remorseful because of this!

My parents were very excited to hear that you have a sister who looks almost exactly like me, so they asked me to find out more about the situation. Of course, it wasn't just for that reason; I've discovered you're actually a very interesting person."

Liu Yifei said, laughing, her smile indescribably beautiful. "

Is she your biological sister?"

Duan Tianya touched his nose. "No! I picked her up!" He finished with a mischievous smile. "

Picked up?" Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes widened, showing great interest.

Duan Tianya then recounted how he met Xueyan to Liu Yifei.

When Liu Yifei heard that he almost robbed a bank to raise a huge sum of money for Xueyan's surgery, she gripped the handle of her coffee cup tightly. A look of tension appeared on her usually serene face.

After a long silence, she only managed to say one sentence: "It must have been so hard for you."

"I can't give her anything more. It's pure luck that she's still alive."

"No," Liu Yifei exclaimed,

her voice trembling with emotion, "The main reason she's alive is because of you. If she really is my sister, all of us who are closest to her should feel ashamed, because we weren't there for her when she needed her family the most." "Where is her hometown?" "

I asked her once, and she said Hankou, but I didn't ask for details."

"Is it really Hankou?" "That's even more likely. My parents used to work in Wuhan, and the hospital where we were born is on Hancheng Street in Wuhan."

Duan Tianya smiled, a smile tinged with relief yet clearly mixed with bitterness… The person he depended on for survival was about to find family. What was he then? Was he really destined to be a lone wolf? Xueyan was leaving him. The thought of this made him feel more depressed than ever before. "

What's wrong?" Liu Yifei was very perceptive of Duan Tianya's emotional shift.

"Nothing?"

Duan Tianya breathed a sigh of relief. If Xueyan really was her sister, he could return her to them. He was all alone; did he want Xueyan to suffer the same fate as him?

"Nothing," Duan Tianya said, reaching for a cigarette but keeping his hand in his pocket, feeling it inappropriate to smoke in this situation.

"Okay, my parents want to visit her sometime, do you agree?"

Duan Tianya stirred his coffee, took a sip.

The coffee was good, but it tasted a bit bitter, just like his current mood. "

Okay, I'll contact you after I've taken care of things in Shanghai."

"Okay," Liu Yifei smiled broadly, like a blooming peach blossom, making Duan Tianya stare in a daze. "

Why are you looking at me like that?" Liu Yifei asked, looking at Duan Tianya strangely.

Duan Tianya narrowed his eyes. "Western media have called you the most beautiful woman in the East, and Time magazine even said you're the most beautiful Chinese woman in the last 100 years. Are you proud of that?"

"Proud?" Liu Yifei laughed. "It's not my fault I'm good-looking! But beauty is a double-edged sword for me. No matter how successful I become, I'm just an exhibit on screen. New beauties emerge in every generation, and my time is very limited." "I just want to act well a few more times, then completely retire from the entertainment industry and live a simple life like everyone else. People only see the flowers and applause I've won, but how many people have seen the hardship and tears behind it?"

Duan Tianya said calmly. "Heaven is fair. When it takes something away, it gives you something else as compensation. If it gives you too much, it will take something away from you."

Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.

The artificial stream flowed gently as Duan Tianya finished the last sip of coffee. "

Let's go. I'll take care of what you asked for as soon as possible."

Liu Yifei stood up and extended her hand.

"Thank you!"

Duan Tianya smiled his brightest smile of the day. "No need. If you really are my sister's older sister, then you're my sister too. I'm obviously older than you."

Her beautiful smile continued to bloom. "Of course, I'd be happy to have you as my understanding older brother." "

Yes, I can see your difficulty, but you agreed without hesitation, which shows your character."

Duan Tianya chuckled inwardly. "You've misjudged me this time. I'm a figure on the edge of god and demon, acting solely on my feelings. I promise you today, but it's entirely possible I'll change my mind someday!"

At the breakup, "

I really want to ask you a question." "Go ahead

," he said, "

as long as I can answer it."

Duan Tianya rubbed his nose. "I'm surprised you haven't had any scandals after all these years in the industry. Isn't that puzzling?"

Liu Yifei's eyes seemed to hold a hint of reproach. "Do you only feel happy when I have scandals?"

"No," Duan Tianya shook his head. "I just think that a beauty like you must have countless suitors… That's true, but let them pursue their own, I'll live my own life, it doesn't matter!" Everyone has the right to pursue. But everyone also has the right to refuse, right? "

Over the years, you must have met quite a few people you really liked!" "

Yes," Liu Yifei replied, "Liu Yifei's smile is absolutely enchanting." Surrounded by handsome men every day, it would be a lie to say I never think about them. But the distance between love and liking is sometimes so close, just a hair's breadth, and sometimes as far as the ends of the earth. My parents' marriage hurt me deeply, so I've never truly accepted a man. But I have some friends I really like. If you're interested, I'll tell you their stories next time we meet.

She's an enigmatic woman.

The last thing Duan Tianya said to her after they parted was, "

I love every film you've made!

Thank you!"

Liu Yifei smiled genuinely.

When she smiled, she

was truly beautiful!
