Episode 10

Synopsis:

Listening to Zuo Xiaoxian recount Xu Hanlan's past, Zhang Dong finally learns
the reason and feels even more heartbroken.

Lin Yan finally confronts Chen Dashan. Thanks to Zhang Dong's help, Lin Yan successfully gets rid of Chen Dashan, making her extremely grateful to
Zhang Dong , and their relationship deepens.

Due to the rivalry between Lin Ling and Zuo Xiaoxian, Zhang Dong, Zuo Xiaoxian, Xu Hanlan, and Lin Ling end up sharing a
suite . What kind of night will the four of them spend together?

Chapter 1: Past Entanglement

Zuo Xiaoxian's room has no windows. Logically, being completely dark, the quality of sleep should be exceptionally good, at least to
the point of feeling like death once asleep. Without light or sound interference, this environment is the ultimate paradise

for any sleeper . However, because his sleep schedule had been so regular lately, Zhang Dong woke up groggily After yawning, his hand instinctively reached out, but he didn't grasp the voluptuous body he expected, leaving him quite frustrated, though it also dispelled his already weak sleepiness. Zhang Dong was in a daze, vaguely recalling the feeling of being half asleep and half awake last night. His hand still felt the touch of those full breasts, and her long, elastic legs were constantly rubbing against his body. The two bodies had been intertwined on the small bed, and that wonderful feeling had left a deep impression on Zhang Dong. "This girl gets up so early?" Zhang Dong sat up, scratching his head helplessly. He turned on the bedside lamp and saw that the bed was a mess, but Zuo Xiaoxian was nowhere to be seen. Even the clothes he had carelessly thrown on the floor yesterday were gone. He thought: People who run nightclubs get up so early? Especially considering how much they drank last night, Zuo Xiaoxian is really strange. Zhang Dong habitually lit a cigarette and went to the bathroom to expel the day's toxins, brushing his teeth and washing his face. After leaving the bathroom, Zhang Dong groggily checked his phone, remembering last night. He had told Lin Yan he needed to stay in the city for the night, so late at night, Lin Yan sent him a message reminding him to go to bed early and not drink too much—a simple yet affectionate message. Zhang Dong couldn't help but chuckle at Lin Yan's message; honestly, it felt quite nice to be cared for. The other messages were all from Xu Hanlan, who kept apologizing but didn't mention her relationship with Lin Ling , making excuses like Lin Ling visiting and it being inconvenient for her. Seeing that Zhang Dong hadn't responded, she became anxious and sent several more messages until 3 a.m. before stopping. Zhang Dong rubbed his chin, thinking: It seems she thinks I'm angry. Last night, Zhang Dong and Zuo Xiaoxian were having so much fun that he didn't hear his phone coming from under the covers. To be honest, Xu Hanlan has a family and a husband, so Zhang Dong has no reason to be jealous, especially since the other woman is a beautiful young woman, not a man. Although he was shocked to learn this last night, Zhang Dong could still accept it. At least as a lustful man, his first instinct was to get them both into bed. Sex is a union of body and soul; a threesome is best based on interaction and passion. If you're having sex with two hesitant women in turns, there's absolutely no fun. But if the two women are already incredibly intimate, the process can be absolutely exhilarating and incredibly enjoyable. He didn't know if Xu Hanlan was awake yet, so he sent her a message, offering some words of comfort and explaining that he'd drunk too much last night and hadn't seen her message, telling her not to overthink it. Xu Hanlan probably hadn't gotten up yet, or perhaps she was busy, so she didn't reply. Zhang Dong still wondered if they had been too active last night and were still asleep, even imagining what kind of steamy things might happen when they got back. Xu Hanlan's body was mature and alluring, while Lin Ling's was youthful and cute. He wondered how her body differed from her sister's... The differences between the sisters' bodies sparked unprecedented fantasies in Zhang Dong. Even though he had enjoyed a satisfying release last night, he couldn't help but feel lustful. After getting dressed, Zhang Dong came out. The office was empty. It looked messy during the day, and the surveillance footage was completely black. The crazy world at night often turned into a stark contrast of quiet during the day. Every bar felt empty under the bright sun. Only under the cover of night could such places create an atmosphere that drove people crazy. Zhang Dong didn't have Zuo Xiaoxian's phone number and couldn't contact her. He could only bite the bullet and go downstairs. After all, this was a gay bar. Would a grown man appearing here affect her business? Although the bar was definitely not open yet, Zhang Dong still felt very strange. He even felt like he was dreaming about last night's steamy experience . If his legs hadn't been so weak, he might not have been sure it was real. The bar's door was ajar, the light dim, and laughter drifted from the bar counter. A girl, dressed and looking quite was humming a tune and wiping glasses. She said, "Sister Xiaoxian, this is the second time the relocation notice has come, right? Our business is so good, we can just find a more secluded place. The rent will be cheaper here, saving us some money. We won't have to stay in this lousy place anymore, right?" "I'm still looking! There aren't any suitable places in the city right now. Even if people patronize it, at least the transportation has to be convenient. If there's no parking, what's the point?" Zuo Xiaoxian said, her voice quite captivating, even casual words exuding a languid charm. Zuo Xiaoxian wore a purple lace top that accentuated her curvaceous figure, and super-short denim shorts that outlined her long, beautiful legs and revealed her fair skin that was sure to make one drool. Just looking at her round, perky buttocks was enough to make one's mouth water. One glance was enough to make one want to take her right there and then, and the position had to be a doggy style full of conquering desire . Zuo Xiaoxian's casual and relaxed outfit is incredibly charming thanks to her beautiful figure, exuding an irresistible sexiness. It's undeniable that Zuo Xiaoxian is a natural clothes hanger; her tall figure can pull off any outfit. No matter what it is, she always exudes a seductive aura, effortlessly hormones.

"Good morning!"

Recalling the passion of last night, Zhang Dong subconsciously felt a surge of heat, but now he felt a little embarrassed.
His steps were hesitant as he walked towards her. After all, while last night was enjoyable, it had all happened so inexplicably.

If it were a normal encounter with a woman in a bar, it would be a one-night stand; once it was light,
they'd get dressed and go their separate ways. But Zhang Dong had gone to the owner of a gay bar, and judging from Zuo Xiaoxian's appearance, she seemed to be a
completely innocent lesbian. Under these circumstances, Zhang Dong felt somewhat at a loss.

In fact, even as a lecherous man, Zhang Dong couldn't quite bring himself to be heartless after sex.

"Oh, the owner's awake? Then I won't be a third wheel." The girl smiled ambiguously, put down
her cup, and went to clean other areas.

The girl's gaze towards Zhang Dong was filled with surprise and confusion; clearly, she knew about Zuo Xiaoxian and Zhang Dong's encounter
.

"You stinky man, you're still awake!"

Zuo Xiaoxian smiled slightly, winking seductively at Zhang Dong, and said, "It's still early? I've been up
for ages ! You slept like a log, I thought you'd sleep until at least the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to be up now
. Looks like I didn't drain you dry last night!"

"Have you had breakfast?" Zhang Dong chuckled lewdly, leaning closer to look at Zuo Xiaoxian.

There were still a few employees working inside the bar, so Zhang Dong didn't intend to flirt with Zuo Xiaoxian, much less take
advantage of her . It wasn't that he lacked the courage, but in this bar, intimacy between men and women seemed like a very strange thing.
"No, wait for your treat."

Zuo Xiaoxian said with a smile while playing on her laptop, "I was so exhausted last night, I woke up hungry
this morning , and my lower body was sore and my back was aching! Let me tell you, if you don't
make it up to me today, I'll tell your wife about our affair. Then I'll have to put on a sad face and tell her I'm pregnant and I'm going to fight her for the position of the wife, and make a magnificent comeback as the
mistress !" "My
wife?" Zhang Dong was slightly taken aback, thinking: Where did I get a wife? Did she come as a free gift with a phone top-up at the supermarket?

"It's Lin Yan who texted you! If I remember correctly, she's Lin Ling's sister, right? Judging from the tone
, it's no wonder you two are having an affair. That concerned tone was so cheesy!"

Zuo Xiaoxian said, tidying her bag while glancing at Zhang Dong with a hint of jealousy. She giggled, "It's all her fault for texting me
in the middle of the night and waking me from my sweet dreams! I didn't mean to look at your phone! The message notifications kept ringing
, disturbing my sleep, so I had to turn off the volume."

"You know her?"

Zhang Dong's mind was buzzing. He thought: This is too unlucky! She even knows Lin Yan!
How am I going to live like this?!

"I don't know her, but Sister Lan mentioned her."

Zuo Xiaoxian had already packed her things. She walked up to Zhang Dong with a smile, hooked her arm around his, and rubbed her
full breasts against him, saying in a coquettish voice, "Alright, you stinky man, I can't be bothered with your family's mess
. Take me to get something to eat, I'm starving."

"Okay!" Even through his clothes, Zhang Dong felt a flutter in his heart from the elastic touch. He figured
he could take this opportunity to ask Xu Hanlan about her, so he agreed without thinking.

The location of the breakfast made Zhang Dong very anxious. It was the Regal Hotel again. It was said that the Cantonese dim sum on the second floor
was the freshest and best. Of course, the unspoken implication was that it was the most expensive.

Eight o'clock for dim sum was already quite late. The hotel was bustling with people from early morning, and many of them were
couples , obviously having had sex all night and coming here to replenish their energy. For men who have been up all night, a dim sum breakfast with stewed soup
is an absolute delight.

A woman like Zuo Xiaoxian is dazzling; the moment she entered, many men cast lustful glances her way.

Zuo Xiaoxian is tall and beautiful; even in casual clothes, the way she walks with her hips swaying
is incredibly alluring.

After a night of passion, Zuo Xiaoxian's face has a faint blush; even without makeup, she exudes a
post-coital appearance, this mature and alluring woman naturally became the focus of attention,
making those lecherous men, their backs aching from a night of passion, glare at Zhang Dong with envy.

Zhang Dong couldn't help but smile smugly, pulling Zuo Xiaoxian even closer. But when he turned to look at her, he was momentarily
stunned. Zuo Xiaoxian's seductive smile was indeed irresistible; she was at the peak of a woman's beauty and charm
, possessing a figure and appearance that were first-rate—a captivating beauty that Zhang Dong had never dared to dream of possessing before
.

"Honey, let's go to a private room. I don't want to run into acquaintances," Zuo Xiaoxian said, sticking out her
tongue sheepishly.

Zhang Dong followed Zuo Xiaoxian's evasive gaze and saw two girls eating in the corner
staring . They must be from her circle.

The main hall was noisy, so Zhang Dong went along with Zuo Xiaoxian's suggestion and booked a private room.

Zuo Xiaoxian enthusiastically ordered a large number of dishes, many of which were specialties of the Grand Hotel.
As for tea, she preferred to drink flower tea with honey in the morning, which was said to be good for beauty. Zhang Dong, influenced by his father,
ordered a pot of Phoenix Dancong, a tea that few people drink.

"Your taste is quite unique!"

Zuo Xiaoxian busied herself rummaging through her bag as soon as she sat down. When she saw Zhang Dong order Phoenix Dancong, she was taken aback, because
this tea had a nickname: "Old Man's Tea." It was produced in small quantities and was more expensive than other teas on average.

"Yes, poor people's staple food is usually this kind of low-class stuff," Zhang Dong replied with a smile.

Phoenix Dancong tea is relatively niche; the market is generally dominated by Tieguanyin or Da Hong Pao. However, for seasoned
tea drinkers, Dancong tea is considered the most flavorful. Although bitter, it has a sweet aftertaste, leaving a lingering and unforgettable impression.

"Here you go!" Zuo Xiaoxian rummaged through her bag for a while, then suddenly pulled out 30,000 yuan and placed it on the table, pushing it towards
Zhang Dong. She smiled and said, "This is your payment for your services. You performed very well yesterday; this is a reward
."

"Why?" Zhang Dong frowned slightly, thinking: What's this? Is she trying to distance herself?

"The money you spent yesterday."

Zuo Xiaoxian took a sip of tea, speaking with unusual seriousness, "You can treat last night as a one-night stand if you want,
but I don't want this money. Otherwise, it'll make me feel like I'm selling myself, sleeping with you for this amount of money.
While I, Zuo Xiaoxian, consider myself somewhat attractive, my worth isn't that high. 30,000 yuan for one night... what kind of life would that be?"
"You're such a precious daughter! Besides, if I cheat you out of this money, I won't be able to explain it to Sister Lan."

"The money is for yesterday's drinks." Zhang Dong rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I drank so
much yesterday, don't I have to pay? If you don't take this money, I'll bring my whole family to your place, and I'll
drink you out of your pocket, or I'll change my surname to yours."

"Stop being so cheeky."

Zuo Xiaoxian pushed the money back to Zhang Dong and said seriously, "Hey, you stinky man, don't you
listen to me? Let me tell you, you have to take this money back, or don't come looking for me again. Let me tell you directly,
I am indeed short of money right now, but I don't want our relationship to be tainted by money. Although I, Zuo Xiaoxian, am not having an easy time,
I will never sell myself for money, especially not to a man."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

Future development is the most important thing, so seeing Zuo Xiaoxian's firm attitude, Zhang Dong couldn't insist any further and could only
awkwardly take the money.

"That's a good girl!" Zuo Xiaoxian smiled sweetly, her alluring charm returning, and she gave Zhang Dong an approving
wink .

Breakfast was served quickly. Most Cantonese morning tea consists of dim sum, such as rice noodle rolls, shrimp dumplings, or siu mai
. Even the most upscale restaurants specialize in these dishes. However, every establishment has
a few signature dishes. Here, the signature dishes were a slow-cooked broth and several unique dim sum items. Zuo Xiaoxian
seemed to have been wanting to eat them for a long time, so she ordered everything she could.

The most surprising thing was the turtle soup, a potent aphrodisiac soup with Chinese herbs. The owner must be
a fellow lecher, especially catering to these tired old lechers after a long night.

The turtle soup was cooked to perfection; just the rich aroma of the herbs told you it had been simmering for at least a
night .

Although drinking turtle soup so early in the morning was a bit too rich, it undeniably hit the spot for those seeking to
replenish their energy.

Zuo Xiaoxian smiled suggestively, handed the soup to Zhang Dong, and winked, saying, "You stinky man, you
should replenish your energy. Last night, I was so energetic, don't strain your old back."
"Don't worry, I'm full of vigor, and I'm young and strong, okay!"

Although Zhang Dong said that, he still drank a few sips of turtle soup, after all, he had indeed exerted himself a lot last night.

Zuo Xiaoxian giggled, winked playfully at Zhang Dong, and then enjoyed her delicious breakfast.

It has to be said that Zuo Xiaoxian was an absolute beauty. Watching her eat, Zhang Dong always had an
urge to pin her down and give her oral sex. He even secretly looked around the private room, wondering if he should have
another round. Unfortunately, the private rooms here were all partitioned by screens, and the doors weren't locked, so Zhang Dong could only suppress this
urge.

Seeing that Zuo Xiaoxian was in a good mood and seemed not to mind being with him, Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment before
boldly asking, "By the way, Xiaoxian, what's with Sister Xu's weird quirk?"

"People say that once you have a new love, you forget your old one, but that's all a lie." Zuo Xiaoxian hesitated slightly,
then feigned jealousy, looking at Zhang Dong with a mournful expression, and said, "You jerk, you're such a weirdo! Am I
not good enough? Am I not pretty enough? I'm the new love, okay! How dare you mention your old love in front of me?
Don't you have any conscience?!"

"Conscience? I sold it when it was appreciating in value."

Zhang Dong caught a fleeting smile in Zuo Xiaoxian's eyes, knowing she wasn't really jealous, and immediately
breathed a sigh of relief . At the same time, he wondered if he had been too narcissistic, thinking that one night in bed would make her love
him wholeheartedly, even jealous of him. He thought: Is she really a lesbian? How could
she be He probably has more girls than I do! But if I slept with Xu Hanlan,
whose jealousy would she have? This seemed to be a rather realistic question.

"Smart, I like your carefree personality." Zuo Xiaoxian playfully stuck out her tongue, her
eyes full of admiration as she looked at Zhang Dong.

Zuo Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Actually, Sister Lan is different from me.
It's hard to say whether she's a lesbian, but she hates men. As for the issue of lesbianism, I've always liked tender little girls,
while she has a psychological trauma and hates men, which is why she's slowly being influenced by me. As for whether she really likes
women, I'm not sure, because apart from Lin Ling, I've almost never seen her with any other woman."
"Psychological trauma?"

Zhang Dong's heart sank, and he lit a cigarette, waiting for Zuo Xiaoxian to continue.

Xu Hanlan's quirk was really too bizarre; anyone who encountered it would be curious about how it came about. Putting everything else aside
, just that expression of extreme fear would make you, even if you had an erection, unable to bring yourself to do it.

"Guan Weiwen, huh!" Zuo Xiaoxian took a deep breath and said with disgust, "You should
know Sister Lan's husband, right? He's the bastard who cheated on you with him. It's all his fault. If it weren't for him,
Sister Lan wouldn't be so afraid of men."

"I know him!"

Zhang Dong nodded, his mind subconsciously conjuring up the image of Guan Weiwen wearing a green hat. He felt
a surge of pleasure, but his possessiveness also made him a little unhappy, since he was, in a sense, the adulterer.

"Hmph..." Zuo Xiaoxian spat and then began to explain.

It turned out that Xu Hanlan and Guan Weiwen's marriage wasn't because of love or a blind date,
but because of a past that Xu Hanlan hated, even loathed to the point of madness. If she hadn't matured
considerably , she probably wouldn't just hate Guan Weiwen; even her father Xu Lixin's name would make her grit her teeth. However,
the relationship between father and daughter had deteriorated to an extreme degree several years prior. Xu Hanlan wouldn't even
greet Xu Lixin on the street, let alone call him "Dad."

Although Guan Weiwen was the culprit, it was all caused by Xu Lixin's greed;
he essentially pushed his own daughter into a fire pit.

When Xu Hanlan was in university, she met Guan Weiwen, who was from the same hometown. At that time
,

Xu Hanlan was shy and reserved, but she had blossomed into a beautiful and captivating young woman, earning the title of "campus belle" upon entering university. Guan Weiwen was immediately captivated by Xu Hanlan's beauty. After his persistent pursuit failed, he
shamelessly created an opportunity to rape her, hoping to possess her.

But despite her gentle appearance, Xu Hanlan was actually very stubborn; she wasn't as weak as other girls.
Instead of enduring it, he immediately called the police to arrest Guan Weiwen.

Guan Weiwen panicked; he hadn't expected the seemingly gentle Xu Hanlan to become so aggressive after being humiliated,
so he rushed home that night for help.

Guan Weiwen's arrogant personality stemmed from his family's spoiling. Guan Weiwen's
father was a government official, and the family was powerful and influential. Naturally, they couldn't let their only son go to jail, so the Guan family
approached Xu Lixin to try and resolve the matter quickly to avoid negative repercussions.

At the time, Xu Lixin was an honest and hardworking businessman, running a small bicycle repair shop. He lived a very frugal life,
barely scraping by, and was essentially an ordinary person with little worldly experience.
Under the Guan family's combination of persuasion and coercion, he actually agreed to a settlement.

Back then, the Xu family was extremely poor, struggling to support a daughter and a son. Meanwhile

, Xu Hanlan's brother was working odd jobs and had a girlfriend, but he didn't even have the money to get married. The
woman's family was pressuring him, otherwise the marriage would fall through.

Faced with the benefits promised by the Guan family, Xu Lixin was inevitably tempted. Ignoring his wife's cries, he
imprisoned Xu Hanlan.

Xu Hanlan, enraged, tried to run away from home several times, but failed each time. Her family's unwavering obstruction left her disheartened, and she even
contemplated suicide.

Even though Xu Lixin had initially felt sorry for the persecuted Xu Hanlan, driven by self-interest, he hardened
his heart, preventing her from reporting the crime to the police while simultaneously mobilizing his entire family to brainwash her.

Eventually, Xu Hanlan became numb, lying in bed ill for over half a month. Seeing her mother's tears, she could only nod
helplessly , swallowing her own tears and resignedly facing the cruel reality.

Xu Lixin was indifferent to Xu Hanlan's misfortune. Faced with enormous profits, the impoverished man
disregarded any sentimentality or grief. Perhaps in his view, women would eventually marry, and suffering a little hardship to bring benefits
to the family was only natural.

Seeing that Xu Hanlan had compromised, Xu Lixin went to the Guan family to negotiate. The benefit he received was 50,000 yuan as hush money.

Because of this money, Xu Hanlan's older brother got married, and the whole family was immersed in a joyous atmosphere,
busy preparing for the happy occasion. Only Xu Hanlan couldn't smile; she lived each day like a walking corpse, listless
and颓废(颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but
it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and apathy). However, misfortune never comes singly. Not long after, Xu Hanlan discovered she was pregnant, and her morning sickness was severe, tormenting her to the point of near collapse.

Xu Lixin panicked. Initially, to cover up his shame, he wanted his wife to take Xu Hanlan to the hospital for
an abortion . However, after a check-up at the hospital, it was discovered that Xu Hanlan had been depressed and in poor health. The doctor
recommended that she rest at home for about a month before the abortion.

Xu Lixin was furious. He could accept being taken advantage of, at least he had received 50,000 yuan, something he had never
dared to . But Xu Hanlan was pregnant; was he supposed to just wait to be humiliated?

Seeing Xu Hanlan and her daughter constantly weeping, Xu Lixin felt displeased and turned his anger towards
the instigator .

Xu Lixin stormed into the Guan family home, venting his anger on Guan Weiwen, hoping to extort more money from the Guan family.
Unexpectedly, Guan Weiwen's grandfather was seriously ill at the time, and Guan Weiwen's father, upon hearing the news, beamed with joy. He, who had always
longed for a grandson, immediately treated Xu Lixin like an honored guest, offering earnest and polite apologies, and discussing
topics like responsibility. His attitude was completely different from his initial disdain and condescension; he earnestly said it was to bring good luck to the old man
.

Guan Weiwen's father was then the head of the town and an official in the city; a bunch of relatives partnered with him in
business, making him wealthy and powerful.

The Guan family's attitude immediately quelled half of Xu Lixin's anger. Looking at the wealthy and powerful Guan family,
he couldn't help but start making calculations.

One wanted money, the other wanted a child; both sides, each with their own ulterior motives, negotiated their terms. Finally, with the Guan family offering substantial sums
, they reached an agreement and arranged the marriage without Guan Weiwen and Xu Hanlan's knowledge.

The Guan family's offer was incredibly generous, and feeling like they were getting the best deal, Xu Lixin readily
agreed .

When Xu Hanlan learned of this, she fainted from anger, spending her days in tears, even contemplating
suicide , but was stopped each time. Finally, seeing her parents and brother kneeling before her, pleading with her, she had no choice
but to soften and agree to her father's arrangement. That night, she lost count of how many times she cried herself unconscious.

In truth, Guan Weiwen, the playboy, also didn't want to get married. In his eyes, although Xu Hanlan was beautiful,
she had caused trouble, and he had long lost interest in her. However, due to pressure from his elders, he had no choice but to agree.

The marriage was settled against the will of both parties. ~ Xu Lixin was overjoyed and went to the Guan
family to finalize the marriage arrangements. Finally, Xu Hanlan, five months pregnant, married into the Guan family.

It is said that on their wedding night, Xu Hanlan caused chaos. Not only was she uncooperative, but she also smashed furniture and appliances to
pieces, and even used an ashtray to attack Guan Weiwen and his father, requiring multiple stitches at the hospital.

Because of Xu Hanlan's unborn child, no one dared to retaliate and had to appease her. No matter how
outrageous , the Guan family suppressed the incident.

The newlywed Guan Weiwen spent several days in the hospital, and after being discharged, he didn't even go home, choosing to stay elsewhere.
He was also frustrated by this inexplicable marriage, because even if Xu Hanlan was beautiful, her actions left him
helpless.

After the marriage, Xu Hanlan did nothing but throw tantrums in the Guan family home, smashing things almost daily
and even physically assaulting people. If the Guan father and son tried to avoid her, they would be injured.

This marriage caused endless turmoil for the Guan family. For the sake of their child, they tolerated Xu Hanlan
's behavior despite their anger. The family was so distraught they dared not even return home, their home practically crumbling.

They did fulfill their promises, fearing that if they didn't,
the entire Xu family would cause trouble, resulting in immense shame. They arranged good jobs for Xu Hanlan's brother,
and even Xu Lixin got a job at the town government. The exact amount wasn't disclosed at the time, but considering it brought their parents to kneel before their child,
it must have been an amount most people couldn't refuse.

Xu Hanlan lived a life of madness, her belly growing larger until she finally gave birth to a princess, much to the Guan
family 's delight.

It's said that before entering the delivery room, Xu Hanlan threw items from the operating table at Guan Weiwen, one of which, a sharp scalpel,
cut his forehead. During her delivery, Guan Weiwen also needed seven stitches to his forehead.

The baby's birth should have been a time of joy, a time when all grudges
should have been forgotten. However, Xu Hanlan's antics only escalated, pushing the Guan family to their breaking point.

The baby was born, and the Guan family had achieved their goal. Guan Weiwen, already seething with resentment, naturally wanted
a divorce to end this ill-fated relationship. But Xu Hanlan, driven by revenge, resolutely
refused. The Guan family could only sigh and lament all day.

After giving birth, Xu Hanlan was constantly irritable, to the point that everyone avoided her.
She was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The child, to her, not only failed to evoke any maternal love, but was more
… a product of humiliation.

"Damn, so that's how it is," Zhang Dong couldn't help but curse, thinking: "Xu Lixin is truly
inhuman. He drove his daughter insane for a few measly coins. I should have put him in
jail for a few years. And Guan Weiwen is even worse."

"That's right." Zuo Xiaoxian sneered with disgust, "Guan Weiwen never intended to marry Sister Lan. This
playboy, who's been pampered since childhood, just wanted to have some fun. To him, Sister Lan was nothing more than a tempting object he wanted to possess. Actually,
they were both quite helpless about marriage. It's true that Sister Lan caused a lot of trouble for their family, but she also
developed depression during that time. Sister Lan really didn't let their family have a single good day. This fake couple
has no gratitude whatsoever. If we were to talk about their grievances, it would probably take three days and three nights to finish."

"Damn it, she should have been climbing on the roof and causing a huge mess." Zhang Dong spat disdainfully,
then couldn't help but ask, "What about the child?"

At this point, Zhang Dong felt a pang of sadness. After all, a child is always a mother's heart and soul. He guessed that Xu Hanlan
's ability to remain so peaceful was probably related to the child.

But unexpectedly, Zuo Xiaoxian shook her head and sighed sympathetically, "Sister Lan told me that she
felt she was just a tool for having children, and a tool doesn't need to have feelings for the product it produces. And
over the years, Sister Lan has never mentioned this child, it seems... she even feels disgusted just looking at her."

"No way!" Zhang Dong was dumbfounded, unable to believe that there could be such a heartless mother in the world.

"I also think what Sister Lan said isn't true. What mother doesn't love her child?"

Zuo Xiaoxian sighed, unusually melancholic. "After giving birth, Sister Lan was almost insane. The Guan family
was afraid she would hurt the baby, so they never let her take care of the child. Sister Lan almost never held the baby or breastfed it. Later,
Guan Weiwen's father probably had some problems and retired early. Then he and his wife
immigrated with the infant. I think they probably wanted to avoid Sister Lan. From beginning to end, Sister Lan didn't have many opportunities to develop
a relationship ."

"I didn't expect that..." Zhang Dong closed his eyes and sighed, thinking: So that's how things went.
No wonder Xu Hanlan has such a phobia. A young girl in the prime of her life suffered misfortune, didn't receive fair
treatment, and didn't receive love from her family. All she received was the pain of being used. You can imagine
how heartbroken she must have been during that time.

As for the child, even if Xu Hanlan never mentions it, she probably can't forget it. After all, it's
a piece of flesh that fell from her own body after ten months of pregnancy. Presumably, Guan Weiwen's father knew he had a problem back then
and wanted to retire early and go abroad, which is why he insisted that Xu Hanlan give birth to this child. Otherwise, given the Guan family
's circumstances, there would be no need for such a bizarre marriage. To put it bluntly, he wanted this grandson and
didn't even care about his son's feelings.

"Yes, Sister Lan isn't heartless,"

Zuo Xiaoxian sighed. "But having a child so far away isn't necessarily a bad thing.
For Sister Lan, this past is very tragic. She's only just gotten over it these past few years, so of course she doesn't want to face it.

A few years ago, when Sister Lan's mother died, she held her hand and confessed to her, crying all night. If it weren't for that,
she wouldn't have forgiven her father, after all, it was her father who pushed her into the fire for money and profit." "What
happened later was simpler. Xu Lixin, with his cunning and intelligence, thrived in the officialdom, and Guan Weiwen, without his backer, also
did alright. This nominal father-in-law and son-in-law... " For the sake of mutual benefit, they had no barriers and became very close.

Even though Xu Hanlan utterly loathed Xu Lixin and Guan Weiwen, she gradually
let go of the matter in order to move on with her life. After all, the future was long, and unless she had to kill Guan Weiwen in a mutually destructive act,
what else could she do but let it go?

Perhaps feeling guilty, Xu Lixin helped Xu Hanlan find a teaching
job . As for Xu Hanlan's request to transfer to Xiaoli Town, it was because she didn't want to run into Guan Weiwen; according to Xu Hanlan,
every time she saw him, she wanted to kill him.

As for her child, Xu Hanlan never mentioned it, presumably because it was a painful topic she didn't want to touch.
"Guan Weiwen seems to be living a good life," Zuo Xiaoxian scoffed disdainfully. "These past few years, because of
Sister Lan's constant fuss, he's avoided her like the plague. Although they're still husband and wife, they've never shared a bed. But he still
lives a life of pleasure and debauchery, constantly having affairs with girls and young women from his subordinates. Sometimes I think this
marriage in name only is actually a bargain for him; he can go around messing around as he pleases, and Sister Lan won't pay him any attention."

"That guy really deserves a beating!" Zhang Dong cursed, wishing he could kill Guan Weiwen for his despicable behavior
. His righteous attitude made him forget that, legally, he was the adulterer.

Zuo Xiaoxian, clearly a passionate person, joined in the cursing for a while.

But a beautiful woman is still a beautiful woman; even though Zuo Xiaoxian was genuinely cursing, her voice was soft and sweet,
not scary at all. Instead, it made Zhang Dong's bones feel weak and his lower body harden.

The meal was finished in an atmosphere of shared hatred.

Just after paying the bill, Zuo Xiaoxian received a phone call. She responded with a few "uh-huhs" and then said to Zhang Dong,
"You go ahead and do your own thing. Someone invited me to yoga this afternoon, and I'll also get a beauty treatment. I don't have time to entertain you today!"

Zhang Dong was reluctant, but remembering how much he had exhausted Zuo Xiaoxian last night, he held back, after all,
she needed to rest. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "By the way, honey, are you moving your bar
?" "Who's your wife! Don't spread rumors, or I'll sue you for defamation. I'm the dream
girl of countless girls!" Zuo Xiaoxian blushed, gave Zhang Dong a charmingly glaring look, and said, "Yeah, I'm broke and
have nowhere to go. I'm already thinking about selling myself. I'm going to meet these gossipy women this afternoon to see who's interested in investing."

"I'll invest!" Zhang Dong blurted out without thinking.

"You?" Zuo Xiaoxian chuckled, feeling a warmth in her heart, but still shook her head, saying, "Forget it.
Blue Lake is a well-known gay bar. How can a grown man like you be the boss? For one thing,
the customers won't accept it, and I'll suspect you're using it as an excuse to pick up girls. I'm warning you,
don't get too lecherous. Don't be fooled by the large number of girls here; very few are open to men."

"I don't have that intention," Zhang Dong quickly explained. "I see your business is doing very well, making a lot of money,
you want to be a hands-off boss and make a quick buck."

"Alright, I'll consider it."

As she left, Zuo Xiaoxian paused, looking at Zhang Dong with tender affection, and said, "
I'll tell Sister Lan what I told you today, and I'll be honest about our relationship. After all, it's a matter of respect for her.
If you like her, you should understand her past to avoid hurting her. Zhang Dong, I'm a
cynical woman. Although I won't date other men, I have my own partner, you understand?"

"Understood."

Zhang Dong nodded seriously, but he felt nothing at all. After all, if the other person was a woman,
he really wouldn't feel jealous at all.

"It's good that you understand." Zuo Xiaoxian smiled charmingly, kissed
Zhang Dong under the gaze of passersby at the hotel entrance, and said shyly and coquettishly, "Anyway, I promise you, my stinky man is only you,
okay ? Don't interfere with me finding women, and I won't interfere with you finding women. You were really fierce yesterday, so fierce that my
sexual orientation almost changed. This has nothing to do with whether you have money or not, the key is that you made my heart flutter."

Zhang Dong rolled his eyes, thinking: Why does this sound so strange?

Zuo Xiaoxian hailed a taxi and said playfully, "By the way, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to seduce
my charming girlfriends. If I find out you dare to flirt with my women behind my back,
I'll kill you in the middle of the night."

"Don't worry, I don't have the guts!"

Zhang Dong was secretly pleased, thinking: Is this a form of jealousy? This circle is really complicated; you have to be
wary of men making moves.

Zuo Xiaoxian flirtatiously blew Zhang Dong a kiss, and the taxi drove away.

Zhang Dong was a little aroused by Zuo Xiaoxian's teasing. He lit a cigarette and was thinking about how to
communicate with Xu Hanlan today when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was a message from Zuo Xiaoxian.

"But if you please me, I might allow you to defile my woman. Of course, the premise is that
you can't run away after you're done. You're my first man, and the only man I've ever been attracted to.
Try running away if you dare! When a woman goes crazy, she has a fetish for cutting off her penis, you know."

Zhang Dong found it amusing and replied to the message, making a slightly lewd joke with Zuo Xiaoxian.

Then, Zhang Dong's phone rang. It was Lin Zhengwen calling.

Zhang Dong chatted with Lin Zhengwen for a few minutes, arranged a time, and then took a car to Songshan.

The road to Songshan was still very bumpy, and the driver kept complaining, especially after entering the dead end, the road conditions became even more rugged.
Zhang Dong, who had just finished eating, almost threw up, cursing inwardly: If this road isn't repaired soon, it's outrageous.
Otherwise who can stand this kind of journey?

Songshan was unusually lively today. At least the people living there saw something unusual, because a construction team
had arrived in the villa area, which was a big deal.

When Zhang Dong got out of the car, several men wearing construction helmets were chatting at the entrance of the villa area. Inside,
hundreds of people who looked like villagers were busy tidying up the messy grass and clearing away debris.

"Brother Dong, over here." Lin Zhengwen, surrounded by people, greeted Zhang Dong from a distance as soon as he saw him.

Chapter Two: The Pleasure of Being Kept

"Zhengwen, where did all these people come from?" Seeing people working everywhere, Zhang Dong was immediately filled with doubt,
and there were quite a few engineers among them. It seemed that they were all hired by Lin Zhengwen.

"These are all temporary workers I hired. They're clearing the garbage and weeds from the villa area," Lin Zhengwen
said with a smile, wiping his sweat as he drank mineral water, his briefcase tucked under his arm. "President Li is decisive and efficient.
He bought back all the villas that were sold here, and even negotiated with the original developer to buy up the remaining construction work and all the land that no one else
wanted . Now this is a development project under your Far East Group."

"Hello, President Zhang." Upon hearing this, the foremen and the people from the Far East Group realized that the young man in front of them was
the boss . They hurriedly greeted him, offering their business cards with smiles. No one dared to
underestimate Zhang Dong because of his youth. On the contrary, they respected him because of his age. After all, Zhang Dong was so young, yet he was able to get Li Shisheng, that
old fox, to help him. Just the fact that no one knew about his backing was enough to make people wonder
how .

"Oh, I see. Wasn't Li Shisheng handling these matters? What brings you here?"

Zhang Dong greeted the group politely, but he didn't bother to remember any of their names—
what a joke! He's worth hundreds of millions now;
he doesn't have time to curry favor with these nobody. Taking their business cards is a favor; remembering their names is beyond his time. Although Zhang Dong's attitude was polite, he was still a big
boss and couldn't be overly enthusiastic. The group of people who had just been recruited to the Far East Group naturally bowed and scraped,
not daring to utter a single word, but they were all wondering what kind of powerful backing this young boss had.

"Looking at houses, picking out decorations, huh?" Lin Zhengwen said with a smile. "After all, you'll be staying here for a
while, and it's not convenient to always stay in hotels, right? Staying in your own villa is much more comfortable, so I invited you to come and take a look. Li Shisheng said he'd cover the
decoration costs, just to flatter you and also to thank Brother Yong for his kindness.
He's spared no expense in hiring the decoration team; he guarantees they'll do exactly what you say."

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Zhang Dong and Lin Zhengwen, surrounded by a group of people in suits, entered the villa area. Hundreds of nearby villagers
had been hired , and progress was rapid. Although it wasn't completely clean yet, the weeds had been
cleared, and the spider webs and dead branches were being removed in full swing. It was believed that after the plants were transplanted, it would soon become
thriving.

To the left of the villa area was a large iron gate, already rusty. When the gate was pushed open, dust fell out,
emitting an unpleasant smell.

Lin Zhengwen led his men in and smiled, "This is a double villa, both three stories high, combined..."
It's several hundred square meters in size. The yard is about five acres, with a spring and small hills, perfect for a
garden. Because of its elevated location, there's no need to worry about being disturbed by neighbors. The company owner originally wanted to
live here, so the basic infrastructure is quite good. Now, after renovations and a final touch-up to the yard, it'll be ready to move in.

The villa is said to be two buildings, but they're actually connected. The original design was for a
large family of thirty or forty people, hence the exaggeratedly large size. The distance between the two buildings is only two or three
meters , so while it's called two buildings, it's practically one; it only appears to be two buildings visually.

Several hundred square meters is really exaggerated. For one person, it would be like living in a haunted house—too luxurious
.

"Isn't it a bit too big?" Zhang Dong was slightly taken aback, not understanding why someone would want such a large house. Isn't sleeping
just a small space?

"Haha, Brother Yong picked this place himself."

Lin Zhengwen shook his head and explained, "He said he had someone check the feng shui of this place and it's good. In terms of geographical
conditions , the security can be managed very well, and living on high ground won't be disturbed. Brother Yong knows you don't want to,
but he said that after he retires, he wants to bring his wife and children to visit, so it needs to be big enough. In addition, one
floor needs to be used to enshrine ancestral tablets, so if the place is too small, he's afraid it won't be enough."

It's the boss making decisions on his own again! Zhang Dong was already numb to this and could only laugh helplessly, "Okay,
since it's the boss's decision, then let's move in. But this place is so messy now,
it will be at least half a year before we can move in after it's cleaned up and renovated."

The place is big, and there are weeds everywhere. The two villas are still unfinished, and
it will the place.

Lin Zhengwen wasn't an expert in this area, so he immediately asked someone next to him, "Captain Li, if we want to move in,
when is the earliest we can move in? Of course, the renovation can't be flawless, and everything has to be the best and
most convenient. You should know what the consequences would be if we found out that they cut corners!"

"Of course, how can we be careless about where the boss lives?" Captain Li, who seemed to be from the Far East Group, assured him
confidently , "President Li has several renovation teams, all of them high-end designers,
and they use imported materials. After the renovation, the smell will dissipate in a day at most, and you can move in. As for the quality, there's no way there will
be any problems . One of our designers has even won an award in France, and..."

"Hey, Captain Li, right? We're asking about the time." Zhang Dong interrupted Captain Li impatiently,
thinking : This guy looks like a very meticulous person, so why does he start talking non-stop once he starts?

"Well, let me ask." As expected, Captain Li was a meticulous person. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't dare to make
any rash promises. He immediately inquired with the renovation team and considered the available workers, but ultimately
didn't give an answer. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Zhang, what kind of design plan do you want? We need to review it before we can
tell you the progress."

With that, Captain Li handed Zhang Dong a laptop filled with various renovation plans.

It was nearing noon, and everyone was hungry. As the boss, Zhang Dong felt he should show some appreciation, so instead of
rushing to choose a plan, he invited everyone to lunch at the vegetable garden.

The private rooms at the vegetable garden were all full. Besides team leaders, there were project managers and foremen;
not a single laborer was present.

Li Shisheng was extremely busy and couldn't come, but Zhang Dong was impressed that he could gather such a large group of people in such a short time
.

After some questioning by Zhang Dong, it turned out that many of these people had been poached by Li Shisheng. Li Shisheng had been in the
industry for a long time, had a good reputation, and a wide network of
connections
. They didn't know who the Far East Group was, but most of the people here were there because of Li Shisheng's name; his abilities and methods were quite convincing in this circle.

The vegetables in the garden were quite unique, and after a satisfying meal, everyone said they were very good. When they heard that this was
one of Zhang Dong's side businesses, several construction teams said they would be frequent customers, even using it as their
canteen.

Afterwards, they went back to rest.

After seeing them off, Lin Zhengwen said with a smile, "Brother Dong, I'll head back now. I'm
a bit lazy , so I'll be staying at the Regal Hotel for a while. Call me if you need anything."

"Wait!" Zhang Dong suddenly remembered that Xu Hanlan had been bullied and ostracized at school, and immediately told
Lin Zhengwen .

After listening to Zhang Dong's words, Lin Zhengwen narrowed his eyes, smiled ambiguously, and said sarcastically, "
Brother Dong, it seems you're quite the helpful one. This Principal Xu must be a beautiful woman, otherwise
why would you help a married woman for no reason?"

"It's alright, it's alright," Zhang Dong chuckled, not refuting. After all, there was no need for men to hide such
things. He thought to himself: This Lin Zhengwen seems quite upright, how come he's also gossiping?

"Well, that's not too much trouble." Lin Zhengwen pondered for a moment, then smiled slyly. "Logically speaking, this kind of
thing is too insignificant. As long as their school holds a meeting and votes, a decision can be made. The heads of the education system
generally don't get involved in this kind of thing. After all, it concerns the qualifications of an education team, and it would be too mercenary to interfere too much.
But if Brother Dong feels that this is inappropriate and wants to offer some guidance, that's fine too."

"Damn it, stop being sarcastic. What kind of guidance can I offer?" Zhang Dong laughed and cursed, thinking: This guy
always beats around the bush. What's going on? The boss was always like this
. How come he's caught it after not seeing him for a while?

"Okay, I'll have someone put in a good word." Lin Zhengwen seemed to be in a good mood, nodding and saying,
"This isn't difficult. Although it's something that can be decided in an internal meeting, once the guidelines are issued, the subordinates will
generally follow them; otherwise, it's disrespectful to their superiors. Don't worry, it's really
just a matter of talking."

"Thanks!" Zhang Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had promised so confidently, and
it would be embarrassing if he couldn't keep his word.

"By the way, for these kinds of small matters in the future, just ask Li Shisheng. He's quite influential here." Lin Zhengwen
joked, "It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for such trivial matters. How many
entanglements can a town school have? To be honest, if you hadn't asked, I wouldn't even want to hear about this."

"Understood, Young Master Lin, thank you for your trouble." Zhang Dong squinted and joked with Lin Zhengwen.

Afterwards, Lin Zhengwen returned to the city. He was the type of person who had many important connections,
and Zhang Dong's background was unclear, but he always felt a little uncomfortable around him.

Although Lin Zhengwen didn't give off an imposing or condescending feeling, Zhang Dong
just felt uncomfortable all over when he was with him. It was a strange feeling, inexplicable yet very obvious.

Zhang Dong thought about it and, finding nowhere to go, drank a few cups of tea with the mute boy before returning to the hotel.

The hotel was doing well today; perhaps due to some activities in Songshan,
it was already full before evening.

Dinner was cooked by the mute girl; the simple home-style dishes felt incredibly warm.
After , Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan cleared the dishes, while Lin Yan pulled Zhang Dong's hand and walked to the side, her face showing some
embarrassment and hesitation, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

"What's wrong, Yanzi?" Zhang Dong held Lin Yan's hand, looking at her tenderly, thinking:
Lin Yan wasn't the shy person he remembered.

"I have an appointment with Chen Dashan... to discuss something the day after tomorrow." Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke,
looking pitiful , "Honey, I hope you can come with me. After all, it involves Sister Xu's
debt, which is currently in your name. If I want to clear things up with Chen Dashan, it will be difficult for us
to reach ."

"No problem!" Zhang Dong looked at Lin Yan affectionately, saying confidently, "Don't worry, I
know what to do. If you need my help, don't be shy, just ask, okay?"

"Mmm." Lin Yan responded gratefully, her eyes full of affection.

However, due to the large number of people present, Zhang Dong and Lin Yan didn't have a chance to be affectionate.

Afterwards, Lin Yan invited Sister Li and others to play mahjong. It wasn't that she was addicted to gambling, but she was short of money,
and this was a lucrative source of income.

Lin Yan was a stubborn woman who had never asked Zhang Dong for help, even though they were currently in
the throes of a passionate romance. She seemed very wary of such matters, presumably afraid that money would taint their relationship.

Zhang Dong thought to himself: "Yanzi has been so careful in protecting this relationship, probably afraid that asking outright would
offend me. That silly woman."

Zhang Dong set up a table and chairs on the balcony, enjoying the cool night breeze. He drank some tea,
thinking about his increasingly chaotic life and the growing number of women around him. He had to admit that after each passionate encounter,
his life felt utterly messy. Besides the endless urges, dealing with so many women while keeping their
relationships a secret was indeed difficult. How to continue interacting with them was an
even greater challenge.

Just as Zhang Dong was lost in thought, his phone received a message. He picked it up and saw it was from Xu Hanlan.

"Lin Ling knows about us. She found your cigarette butt in the trash can. I don't want to hide it from her."
Zhang Dong hesitated for a moment, sighed, and sent a reply. "It's alright, she'll find out sooner or later anyway.
Some things can't be kept secret forever. If Lin Ling wants to tell her sister, that's fine too. After all, it's not good to keep it from Yanzi all the time."

After exchanging several messages, Xu Hanlan remained vague and didn't say much, only mentioning that Zuo
Xiaoxian .

Zhang Dong felt a headache coming on. He hadn't even dealt with Lin Yan yet, and now there was Zuo Xiaoxian. It seemed like sorting out this
mess Zuo Xiaoxian had said she would be honest about sleeping with him.
What would Xu Hanlan think? These women were so open and honest.

Zhang Dong suddenly felt incredibly cheap. He was always hiding things, while they were
so open about it. Regardless of whether they harbored any resentment, just their attitude made Zhang Dong want to kneel down before them.

Just as Zhang Dong was at his wit's end, Chen Nan came over carrying a bucket of washed clothes. Upon seeing Zhang Dong,
her face flushed slightly, and she sweetly called out, "Brother Dong!"

Then, Chen Nan busied herself hanging the clothes to dry.

Before Zhang Dong could respond, Chen Yuchun ran over, waving two old-fashioned straw hats in her hands, and said,
"Nannan, hang these two straw hats up too. We'll need them tomorrow. It's been terribly hot these past few days; I don't want to get a tan."

"Where are you going tomorrow?" Zhang Dong asked instinctively, annoyed.

Chen Nan looked a little flustered and glanced at Chen Yuchun.

Only then did Chen Yuchun notice Zhang Dong's presence. Slightly startled, she smiled and said, "Tomorrow,
Nan Nan and I are going to a classmate's house in Songshan."

Although Chen Yuchun tried to sound calm, her unease was palpable. Zhang Dong frowned slightly,
looking at Chen Yuchun with suspicion, and asked, "Really?"

"This…"

Perhaps seeing Zhang Dong's somewhat unpleasant expression, both Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan, who had been so lively just moments before, hesitated
, staring at each other with uneasy expressions. Clearly, going to a classmate's house was just an excuse. They were young,
shy , given their crush on Zhang Dong, inexperienced at lying. The question immediately gave them away.

Chen Nan, the most honest and obedient, was startled by Zhang Dong and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

Afraid of upsetting Zhang Dong, Chen Yuchun hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "Brother Dong, I didn't
mean to lie to you, but Nan Nan and I aren't going to do anything bad. Yesterday, a classmate said
they're hiring temporary workers in Songshan to weed the villa area. They can earn several hundred yuan a day, so Nan Nan and I want to go earn some money."

"Damn!" Zhang Dong was both amused and exasperated. He thought, "So they're going to work there. But the sun is so
scorching! They're so delicate; how can they endure being exposed to the sun all day and suffering like that?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Dong felt a pang of heartache, and what was worse, he seemed to be the culprit.

"You're not allowed to go tomorrow, the day after, or even after that." Zhang Dong's face darkened, and he said sternly, "You
're still in school. Besides playing, the only thing you should be doing is studying hard. I
'll take care of your tuition. Why are you trying to earn money? Do you think your brother won't support your studies?"

"No, no!" Seeing Zhang Dong's anger, Chen Nan panicked and blurted out without thinking,
"Last time we went to the provincial capital, that uncle gave each of us a thousand yuan, which was enough to pay our tuition. But my mother
's illness requires money, and her attitude has softened a bit lately. Chun Chun's younger brother is still living at her second uncle's
house, and school is starting soon, so he also needs to pay his tuition. That's why we wanted to earn more."

Zhang Dong felt a pang of heartache. Seeing Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan hanging their heads as if they had done something wrong, he could only sigh,
unsure of what to say.

Zhang Dong felt he hadn't done enough. When he was with the two girls, aside from lust, he had
barely tried to understand or communicate with them. They were sensible children, and wanting to earn more money for
a rainy day and to support their families was perfectly understandable.

Children from poor families mature early—a maturity the carefree Zhang Dong couldn't comprehend.

"Bring chairs and sit down," Zhang Dong said, looking at Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan with heartache.

The timid and submissive appearance of Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun was heartbreaking. They were clearly so sensible, yet
they acted as if they had done something wrong, which made Zhang Dong feel terrible.

Seeing Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan sit down, heads bowed like children who had done something wrong, Zhang Dong felt
a pang of sympathy mixed with amusement. He said softly, "Alright, you weren't going to steal money, what's there to be so nervous about?
I was wrong just now, my tone was too harsh."

"No, Dong-ge, I..." Chen Yuchun hurriedly shook her head, but still
couldn't utter .

"Come here." With that, Zhang Dong extended his hands to the two women.

Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan nervously looked around the room, and only after confirming that no one was coming did they blush and place their hands
in Zhang Dong's palms.

Zhang Dong immediately intertwined his fingers with Chen Yuchun's. Seeing their shy and happy expressions, his heart warmed.
He gently pulled them close and gave each of them a tender kiss, whispering, "Nannan, Yuchun, I'm
not just your Dong-ge, I'm also your man. I was angry just now because it pained me to think about how you've
suffered , understand?"

"Yes!" Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan nodded vigorously, their eyes welling up with tears.

"So don't make Dong-ge feel bad, okay?" Zhang Dong grabbed Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuchun's small hands and
kissed them. He gazed deeply at the two sensible girls who were so endearing, and said seriously, "I'm
your man. These things should be handled by me. Even if it's a burden, I should bear it, understand?
Unless you don't want to acknowledge our relationship, you're not allowed to put yourselves through this. Dong-ge isn't
joking Dong-ge can't stand the most is seeing you bear burdens you shouldn't have to bear. Even if you don't say you
're tired, it still hurts me."

Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun looked at Zhang Dong, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Remember, you are my women!" Zhang Dong's expression turned serious as he said sternly, "It
hurts me to see you suffer. If you're willing to accept me, then leave all the household matters to me, your man.
The only should do is be happy and joyful. I know you're sensible, but if you have any problems, you should
tell me. At least let Brother Dong know what my little women are thinking about and what's bothering them, let me know what's on your
minds."

As Zhang Dong spoke, he gently stroked Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan's faces.

Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan clasped their hands tightly, their bodies trembling. Although they liked it, they couldn't bear
these tender words. Chen Nan burst into tears, choking back sobs, unable to speak. Chen Yuchun stubbornly wiped away her
tears, her eyes filled with blissful intoxication as she looked at Zhang Dong.

Children from poor families are often more mature. For Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan, these thoughtful words and
the feeling of being cared for were far more valuable than sweet talk. They weren't naive or ignorant
girls ; the slightly reproachful words warmed their hearts and gave them a sense of security.
Every word Zhang Dong spoke touched their softest spot.

Fearing that Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan might be secretly doing manual labor, Zhang Dong immediately stood up and
said , "Neither of you are answering. Have you taken my words to heart?"

"I...I..."

Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun felt awkward. Although they knew Zhang Dong cared for them, they didn't want to constantly ask
him for money and become a burden. Even if it made their lives easier, in their eyes,
Zhang Dong was just an ordinary person; how could he afford so many expenses?

Even after this trip to the provincial capital, Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan still didn't know Zhang Dong's current financial situation. Accustomed
to poverty, they cherished every penny they earned and dared not rashly ask Zhang Dong for money.

"Nannan, I'll pay for Auntie's medical expenses. You're not allowed to go back to work, understand?" Seeing Chen Yuchun and
Chen Nan hesitate, Zhang Dong thought for a moment and decided to speak to them in a stronger tone to make it
more effective. He put on a stern face and said unhappily, "I'm your brother and your man. If
I can't even handle these things, wouldn't I be a useless piece of trash? Do you look down on Brother Dong and think he's
incapable?"

"No, I didn't think that!" Chen Nan frantically shook her hands. Although she was obedient, she was used to being independent.
Although she wanted someone to rely on, she didn't want to be a burden to Zhang Dong.

Although girls inevitably get jealous, Chen Nan knew in her heart that Zhang Dong had other women. Although she
felt bad , she didn't want to be selfish and let Zhang Dong take care of them all.

Chen Yuchun's thoughts were similar to Chen Nan's, and she remained silent.

Just as Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuchun were getting anxious because of Zhang Dong's anger, Zhang Dong bluntly said,
"Anyway, you can do whatever you want. Besides playing, you should study. I'll take care of making money; you don't need to worry about that. Are you worried
I won't be able to support you because you see me dressed so sloppily all the time?"

"Brother Dong, we're sorry!" Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuchun lowered their heads guiltily. Facing Zhang Dong's angry questioning,
even though they hadn't done anything wrong, they instinctively apologized. However, they weren't sad; they knew it was
because Zhang Dong cared about them.

Finally, after much persuasion, Zhang Dong managed to get Chen Yuchun and Chen Yuchun to agree to stop doing odd jobs. Only then did Zhang Dong
breathe a sigh of relief and pull them inside.

Just then, Aunt Ya finished cleaning the kitchen and was resting. Zhang Dong took out his laptop and placed it
in front of Chen Yuchun and the other two, smiling as he said, "Here are many different house decor styles. Take a look and see which one
you like, then write down the number."

The computer screen displayed hundreds of pictures, all of different room styles, each with
a number. The designs were all either high-end and luxurious or dreamlike and beautiful, like a princess's castle.

After only one glance, Chen Yuchun was overwhelmed and asked in confusion, "Brother Dong, what is this?"

"Some image research." Zhang Dong thought for a moment, then decided to lie, saying, "I own a
decoration we're currently researching which type of cleavage is most popular with women, so you guys help me choose. Remember, '
Okay!'" Chen Yuchun nodded immediately upon hearing it was serious business and began carefully looking at the images.

The mute aunt gestured a few times, and Chen Nan immediately translated, "Does my mom have to choose too?"

"That's right, each of you choose one; this is tonight's task." Zhang Dong nodded solemnly. The

mute aunt and her daughter, along with Chen Yuchun, didn't dare to be careless when they heard it was about Zhang Dong's company. The three of them immediately gathered around the computer and started choosing
, finally putting Zhang Dong to a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, women being too understanding can be a headache! After finishing all this, Zhang Dong sighed, wondering why, even though
he was a billionaire, he had to be so careful doing this kind of thing. Thinking to himself: "The women around me are all so disrespectful
. I can't even find the thrill of being kept. How can I possibly live a happy life?"...

Chapter 3, Divorce Negotiations

—

Finally, it was time to confront Chen Dashan. Lin Yan and Lin Ling were busy organizing the receipts accumulated over the years.

Lin Ling was undeniably a meticulous girl; the receipts were all neatly organized, without a single
mistake , making Lin Yan feel ashamed. After all, her personality was more straightforward than Lin Ling's.

Lin Ling had kept all the receipts from the past years perfectly, even the monthly utility bills, down to
the cost of a single bottle of gas. This made one wonder if Lin Ling had some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Brother Dong, please take good care of my sister." After finishing organizing, Lin Ling walked up to Zhang Dong,
a fleeting look of panic and jealousy in her eyes, but her voice remained gentle.

"Don't worry, I will!" Zhang Dong nodded seriously.

Looking at Lin Ling, Zhang Dong was at a loss for words. He had never imagined she and Xu Hanlan were a
couple, nor that Lin Ling would be a lesbian. Now that she knew about his affair with Xu Hanlan, he wondered
what she was thinking . Judging from Lin Ling's behavior, she was deeply infatuated with Xu Hanlan, perhaps even to the point of being obsessive. Meanwhile, he
had confirmed his relationship with her sister. Lin Ling was probably caught in the middle, torn and unsure how to proceed.

Since Lin Ling's return, Zhang Dong had been unsure how to face her.

Lin Ling, however, remained silent, deliberately avoiding him. Perhaps she too felt awkward, unsure
how navigate this complicated and absurd relationship.

Although Zhang Dong felt guilty towards Lin Ling, he was also relieved that she didn't seem too angry; at least she didn't hate him,
otherwise she wouldn't have pretended nothing had happened.

Under Zhang Dong's feigned anger, Chen Yuchun and Chen Nan dared not mention going to work again. They spent the last two days
playing on their phones or doing homework at the restaurant. However, they weren't used to the leisurely life and would help with housework whenever they had free time,
their diligence making Zhang Dong incredibly ashamed.

The mute aunt still refused surgery, and recently she had been inquiring about demolition compensation with some women in the village
, seemingly making some new progress, though nothing was settled yet.

After all, they were family, and Zhang Dong was concerned about this matter. Even though the money was a drop in the ocean for him
, he didn't want them to suffer losses in this area. Moreover, these seemingly weak women
were stubborn at heart; if he rashly spent too much money to help them, it would definitely make them feel uneasy. Therefore, Zhang Dong abandoned
the idea of directly throwing money at them to solve their problems. Instead, he guided them step by step, helping them
gradually , allowing them to open their hearts to him and entrust all their difficulties to him.

Aunt Mute's condition wasn't serious, but it couldn't be delayed any longer. However, she refused to use Zhang Dong's money for treatment,
saying she wanted to save the demolition compensation for Chen Nan's education.

Zhang Dong had tried to communicate with Aunt Mute several times on this point without success, and could only have Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun take turns
persuading her. If that didn't work, Zhang Dong even considered using force to push her onto the operating table.

Thinking of Aunt Mute's stubbornness, Zhang Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He hadn't expected this seemingly submissive woman to be so
strong-willed. And since she was an elder, Zhang Dong couldn't bring himself to scold her. He couldn't find a good solution.

Lin Yan wore faded jeans and a black top today, her long wavy hair styled up. She looked
very dignified. Even without makeup, she was still radiant and beautiful. Her subtle charm and captivating beauty
attracted men's attention. Women in love always possess a certain allure; every gesture exuded a seductive
charm, and the faint smile on her face seemed to speak of her current happiness.

Last night, this lovely woman experienced four orgasms under Zhang Dong's crotch, repeatedly begging for mercy. Finally,
she eagerly swallowed his manhood with her small mouth, declaring a victory for male dominance. Like a docile kitten,
she nestled in Zhang Dong's arms, ending a passionate night.

"Let's go!"

Looking at Lin Yan's small mouth, Zhang Dong smiled lewdly, imagining
the obscene image of her mouth filled with his semen.

"Husband, I hope you won't blame me," Lin Yan looked at Zhang Dong pitifully. After all, she didn't want to
involve him in this, but now she had no choice.

Lin Yan craved the greatest pleasure for Zhang Dong, not to be entangled in money and messy
relationships , which had caused her a lot of stress lately. Frenzied sex was sometimes a way to release that tension.

Lin Yan hated this absurd marriage in name only, which often left her unsure how to face Zhang Dong
or what role to play in saying "I love you." If she hadn't been forced into it, she would never have involved Zhang Dong,
not out of fear of embarrassment, but because she didn't want her marriage to Chen Dashan to become a blemish on her relationship with Zhang Dong.

"Don't worry, I'm not petty!" Zhang Dong gave Lin Yan a gentle kiss and laughed, "
I'd be more than happy if you didn't mind. Besides, my Yanzi is so charming; last night I was completely captivated!"

"Mmm!" Lin Yan nodded gently, her face flushed, radiating satisfied bliss.

Thinking of the intoxicating pleasure of last night, Lin Yan felt her bones soften. She both loved and feared Zhang Dong,
because he always tormented her to the point of near death. His powerful desire was almost unbearable; every night
, she would feel pain for days afterward, and she would stagger.

Thinking of that powerful woman who was both lovable and infuriating, Lin Yan bit her lower lip in embarrassment, looking pitiful.
Zhang Dong subconsciously swallowed, a smile playing on his lips as he meaningfully observed Lin Yan's hot figure.

Seeing Zhang Dong and Lin Yan exchanging glances, Lin Ling pouted and ran away.

Now that Zhang Dong and Lin Yan's relationship was practically public, Lin Yan's frantic screams last night were probably not limited to Lin Ling.
Hearing it, all the women in the next room heard it; Lin Yan's high-pitched moans during her climax were truly
breathtaking .

By morning, it was clear that Aunt Ya was a little uncomfortable, Chen Yuchun had an ambiguous smile, and Chen Nan
looked shyly at Zhang Dong; undoubtedly, the incredibly passionate moans had disturbed their sleep.

Lin Yan didn't want Chen Dashan and his group to come to the hotel, saying she hated them making a fool of themselves there, so they arranged to meet
at the vegetable garden.

When Zhang Dong and Lin Yan arrived at the vegetable garden, Chen Dashan and his two companions were already there; clearly, because it involved money,
they preferred to arrive early rather than late.

Chen De still had that carefree, nonchalant attitude. His mother looked to be around fifty years old, obese, with
dark skin, and a face that screamed meanness and acerbity.

How to describe a certain type of person? Even if you have no grudge against them, just one look at them makes you want to
slap them; Chen De's mother had that kind of appearance. Chen Dashan sat there nervously
. He must have been having a tough time lately; his face was haggard, he had lost weight, and he looked utterly dejected.
He didn't say a word except for constantly smoking, while Chen De and his mother chattered incessantly in his ear.

"Ah, you're here." Upon seeing Lin Yan, Chen Dashan immediately stood up. However, seeing Zhang Dong also arrive,
he frowned in confusion. After all, Zhang Dong was just a passerby, a stranger, in his eyes.

"Auntie."

Chen De looked listless, but after being nudged by his mother, he still stood up, though the frivolous smile
on his lips looked incredibly irritating.

Zhang Dong didn't speak, simply sitting down to the side.

Lin Yan sat opposite Chen Dashan, took out the receipts from her bag and placed them on the table, getting straight to the point:
"Chen Dashan, you invited me here today only to talk about money. The restaurant's accounts are all here. Take a look and see
if asking for 100,000 yuan is too much!"

Chen Dashan picked up the receipts and ledgers and began to look at them, his brows furrowing deeper with each reading.

Chen De's mother, standing nearby, couldn't stand it and said sarcastically, "Oh dear, who knows if these are
fake accounts ? These days, rich people can hire an accountant who can create several sets of fake accounts. Someone in our village partnered with someone
in a business deal and was almost swindled to the point of jumping into the sea!"

Chen De's mother was truly vicious; her words were enough to make one want to throw dog shit into her mouth.

Chen De, on the other hand, was truly heartless. The money was being spent on him, but he kept his head down playing mobile games, as if it
were none of his business, letting his mother rant and rave. Truly, dog meat shouldn't be served at a banquet.

Zhang Dong glanced at them and saw through Chen Dashan and the other two. Although Chen De's mother was sharp-tongued, she
didn't seem to have much knowledge. Chen Dashan, on the other hand, was taciturn, but he had been in business before, so
he knew better than anyone whether these accounts were true or false.

"Really? Who told you to look?" Lin Yan had been gentle, but that gentleness was only directed at Zhang Dong. Upon hearing
Chen De's mother's words, her face immediately turned cold. She swept the pile of receipts to the ground and sneered, "Who do you think you are?
Do I know you? Is it any of your business to interfere in my business? Did you eat shit with your mouth? That's why your mouth
stinks!"

"You, you have such a foul mouth." Chen De's mother was furious, looking like she was about to explode. She raised
her voice and said, "How is this none of my business? This is the family fortune that Da Shan worked his butt off to. I can't let it go to you
two little vixens, can I? If it weren't for Da Shan, would you be dressed so provocatively? Don't you know how to blush when you talk like that?
Shameless things!"

"Slap!"

Chen De was stunned, and Chen Da Shan was also stunned. Zhang Dong, on the other hand, cheered.

Lin Yan couldn't bear Chen De's mother's wicked mouth any longer and immediately slapped her.

Lin Yan had clearly been putting up with Chen De's mother for a long time, and this time she really went all out. Chen De's mother was beaten until her hair was
disheveled and she fell to the ground.

Chen De's mother, clutching her face, was stunned at first, then rolled around, crying and shouting, "Look!
Someone's been killed! Someone's been killed! This greedy vixen has killed someone..."

"Damn it..." Chen De, seeing his mother being beaten, panicked and grabbed a cup to
smash it.

Seeing this, Zhang Dong immediately stepped in front of Lin Yan, frowning and looking at Chen De with a sinister expression, saying, "Try moving
! Dare to cause trouble in my place? Believe me, I'll drown you all in this pond as fertilizer."

"Mommy, I don't want to live anymore! Is there no law?!" Chen De's mother cried out.

But Chen De, frightened by Zhang Dong, dared not move. His hand holding the cup hung in mid-air, unsure whether to smash it
or , looking utterly embarrassed.

Chen Dashan was at a loss. He had no intention of standing up for Chen De's mother, only offering a helpless bitter smile.
"Chen Dashan, I suddenly feel sorry for you," Lin Yan sneered, not even looking at Chen De's mother who was throwing a tantrum, and
said disdainfully, "With a relative like that, your life is truly ruined. Looks like there's no point in talking today. Your sister, that
short-sighted shrew, is trying to take advantage of me? Does she think I'll be scared if she rolls on the ground like a dog?
She doesn't understand my temper. I'm afraid of everything, except shrewish women."

"You bitch..." Chen De was just a small-time hoodlum, and upon hearing this, he couldn't hold back any longer. He wanted to start a fight,
but when Zhang Dong glared at him fiercely, he instantly swallowed his words. Zhang Dong

never took these idle local hoodlums seriously. Just because of Chen De's cowardly behavior,
if he hadn't wanted to avoid trouble, he would have beaten Chen De up long ago.

"Try uttering a single swear word!" Zhang Dong pointed at Chen De, a sinister smile spreading across his face, instantly making Chen De shut his mouth
in fear .

Back in the provincial capital, Zhang Dong was considered a big-time hoodlum. No matter how carefree he was on the surface, when he frowned, he
looked like a ferocious demon. His menacing eyes alone were enough to make people afraid to look him in the eye. Not only Chen De, but even Lin Yan
was a little surprised.

"Hey, you shrew!" Chen De didn't dare to utter a sound. Zhang Dong then looked at Chen De's mother and said, "Don't play
these childish tricks. Do you think this is your village? Damn it! What era are we living in? Still using this kind of
stunt. If you're so capable, go hang yourself in front of Lin Yan's house. If you're not, then get lost. You're as shameful as
a piece of shit !"

"Fuck her mother" meant "fuck her grandmother." Chen De thought about it and realized that he wasn't close to his grandmother, and she
had died long ago. It would be difficult for him to do such a despicable thing. Therefore, he didn't react to Zhang Dong's insults. Instead, he just
stood there grinning foolishly, as if he was laughing at Zhang Dong for being an idiot.

"Sister, stop making a scene." Chen Dashan said helplessly with a wry smile, "Ade's wedding is being rushed,
and we're not prepared at all. If you keep making a scene, we won't be able to talk."

Chen De and his mother glared at Lin Yan, then sat down angrily to the side. Forced by Zhang Dong's roguish air, they
didn't dare to cause any more trouble, seemingly sulking.

However, this carefree mother and son found the freshly squeezed juice here delicious. After finishing one pot, they greedily
asked for another.

The commotion had already attracted attention. As soon as Chen De's mother finished her outburst, more than a dozen
shirtless young men rushed over, stood in front of the pavilion, glaring at Chen De, and snarled, "Damn it, are you causing trouble?"

Seeing this, Chen De's mother panicked, and Chen De turned pale with fright, hiding behind his mother.
These men were all Ah Fei's apprentices. After the change of boss, they all received a raise, so they all had a good impression of the new boss.
Now that they saw Zhang Dong making a move, they rushed over, wanting to show off. The more ruthless ones were even carrying kitchen knives,
and they all looked furious, ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

And this group of cooks who spent their days slaughtering pigs and chickens really did look quite professional. If they put on suits and ties,
they could easily pass for gangsters.

Zhang Dong, fearing these hot-blooded young men might cause trouble, shook his head and said, "Go back, it'll be fine."
"Okay, boss, call us if you need anything." As they left, the group added, "No one here has ever
caused trouble before. If this woman dares to throw a tantrum, just say the word, and we'll give her a good beating. We're not well-educated,
we're not afraid of shrewish women like that! Damn it! If she dares to cause trouble here, we'll just punch and kick her."

"Did you hear that? Pay for the juice and snacks later. If you try to dine and dash, you'll get
… beaten up." Zhang Dong looked at Chen De and his mother with disdain.

At this moment, Chen De and his mother were pale with fright, huddled together, trembling.

Dealing with such scoundrels, reasoning with them was a waste of breath. Using this method to scare them would immediately make them obedient.
If that didn't work, they'd just take action. One slap, and they wouldn't dare utter a sound.

"This... Mr. Zhang, this is our family matter, you?" Chen Dashan looked at Zhang Dong with suspicion,
feeling bewildered by Zhang Dong's interference. After all, he was a stranger, and it took him a while to remember Zhang Dong's surname.

"It is indeed your family matter, but the money involves me." Zhang Dong sat down casually,
lit a cigarette, looked at Chen Dashan, and said slowly, "You should remember, besides the money in your account
, there's also a debt from the restaurant."

Zhang Dong's intervention to stand up for her and his use of tactics to intimidate Chen De and his mother made Lin Yan's eyes light up, and a happy smile
appeared .

A woman immersed in love is blind, and at this moment, Lin Yan's eyes were almost overflowing with love.
Every , even the casual act of lighting a cigarette, seemed handsome and dashing to her, and she felt her heart was about to melt.
However, there was serious business to discuss now, so she could only suppress her surging heart and sit next to Zhang
Dong .

Lin Yan's mood instantly brightened, and she felt that the feeling of finding someone to rely on was truly wonderful.

Lin Yan's sweet and happy smile made Chen Dashan and the other two pause for a moment. To them, it was
glaringly obvious , as if Lin Yan was looking down on them because she had found an accomplice.

"I remember, Xu Hanlan's 250,000 yuan." Chen Dashan was a little embarrassed, but still
asked , "But what does this have to do with you? How is this money still our business? She hasn't been pressing us for it."

"This debt has been transferred to me now, so I am the creditor." Zhang Dong flicked his cigarette ash and smiled calmly:
"As for whether it's true or not, if you doubt it, go ask Xu Hanlan. I had a business relationship with her family before,
so she used this bad debt to pay me off. Now, before you deal with your family affairs, we need to talk about this matter first.
I don't care how you divide the family property, but you must return this money to me before the division."

"This, Yanzi, is this true?"

Chen Dashan panicked, and Chen De and his mother were also stunned. They didn't expect such a big obstacle to appear at this time,
and that it was someone who came to collect a debt.

Zhang Dong calmly smoked his cigarette, a faint smile playing on his lips. To Lin Yan, he exuded
a captivating masculinity. In contrast, Chen Dashan's panic dampened her initial attraction. Lin Yan
was slightly displeased, but still nodded, saying irritably, "That's right, Sister Lan has already paid off the debt to him,
and Lao Cai sold the old restaurant and vegetable garden to him. Now, this 250,000 yuan is owed to him. You should think about how to
repay it first."

"This!"

Chen Dashan was quite surprised. Xu Hanlan had transferred the debt to Zhang Dong, and even Cai Xiong had transferred his profitable business to
Zhang Dong . In his view, this meant only one thing: Zhang Dong was not someone to be trifled with.

"That's right, 250,000 yuan." Zhang Dong took a drag of his cigarette. Seeing the three of them dumbfounded, he said in a sinister voice,
"I see these two are very eager. Since you can split the money, you should also get a share of the restaurant.
Now you should discuss how to repay me!"

"This…this…" Chen Dashan panicked, not expecting this situation to occur.

Upon hearing about this debt, Chen De and his mother panicked even more. Chen De's mother's voice rose
uncontrollably : "This...this money is what you borrowed yourselves. You can pay it back by selling the house and land. What does it have to do with us?"

"Nothing to do with you? Then why were you yelling just now? If the restaurant didn't have a share for you, what right did you have to ask
? We want to talk business, and what right do you have to come along?"

Lin Yan, now having found Chen De's mother's sore spot, sneered and said disdainfully, "You know it's none
of your business, but when you asked for money, weren't you swaggering around? Weren't you shouting that you'd stand up for your brother? Since
that's the case, let's talk about how to pay off this debt!"

"That's what you borrowed, it's none of our business." Chen De was also frightened and shouted, "We want money because
we're afraid our uncle will suffer losses. We're relatives, family, what's wrong with showing some concern?"

"Shut your mother's bullshit!" Zhang Dong slammed his fist on the table, pointing at Chen De and cursing, "This is none of your business, so
stay out of the way and don't say a word. Or just put the money on the table before you start talking nonsense. You son of a bitch! You don't even have any money
and all you know how to do is throw a tantrum, you little brat. Believe me or not, I'll have someone beat you up right now!"

This selfish mother and son were already afraid of Zhang Dong, and now that they heard about such a huge debt, they didn't want to
get involved. They didn't care about their uncle anymore and took a few steps back as if avoiding a plague.

The selfish actions of Chen De and his mother were despicable, and Chen Dashan, seeing this, gave a bitter smile but said nothing.
It seemed that even the seemingly dull and honest man understood the nature of his relatives.

Chen Dashan sighed dejectedly and asked helplessly, "Yanzi, what do we do now?"

"What can we do? If you want to divide the family property, you have to pay back the money first." Lin Yan looked coldly at Chen Dashan and said in a cold voice,
"Didn't you listen to Chen De's encouragement before and say that this restaurant should be split in half? Now I can agree to split it
in half, but let me make it clear beforehand, we each have to pay back the debt first, and then you can split it in half as
you wish."

"You clearly said it was to be split among three people, besides Dashan, your sister also gets a share."
Despite still being afraid, Chen De's mother still spoke up, "Now that there's a debt, you want to split it in half? You're simply extorting us!
Let me tell you, we don't have any money. Whoever wants to pay back the debt can pay it back."

"I did say it would be split three ways," Lin Yan sneered. "But didn't you insist on a 50/50 split? Now that I've
agreed to a 50/50 split, you're still not willing. You want to take all the benefits? No way! Who do you think you are? Do you think
you can interfere with my property division? Go back and take a good look at your own despicable behavior, and shut your
dog mouth!"

"You..." Chen De's mother was a shrew, unwilling to back down verbally, but just
as , Zhang Dong gave an impatient snort, and she immediately shut her mouth in fear. They were playing a shrewish game, pretending
not to know they owed such a sum of money, wanting to divide the property first, taking as much as they could, but Lin Yan would not let
them succeed.

Lin Yan responded to gentle persuasion but not force. If she pleaded kindly, she might soften and be willing to suffer some losses, but if she
threw a tantrum and spoke with sharp words, she definitely wouldn't gain anything.

Zhang Dong was a little puzzled, thinking: "Even I know Yanzi's straightforward nature, don't these two
know it? They want to take advantage of others, but they can't even say a few nice words. They're practically brainless.

" "Stop nagging!" Zhang Dong frowned at Chen Dashan and said, "You want to divide the family property however you want? Just
divide the debts together. How you divide the debts, you divide the property. It's that simple. Why is it
so ? Everyone wants to take advantage, and no one wants to suffer a loss. You're just thinking about getting benefits, treating others like fools
, aren't you? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"Indeed, this family likes to take advantage of others, always thinking they're so clever,"
Lin Yan said coldly, looking at Chen De and his mother with disdain.

Chen Dashan's face turned pale, but he didn't refute.

In fact, Chen De and his mother had instigated Chen Dashan in this way. At first, Chen Dashan was unwilling, but he couldn't
resist their persistent pleas and had no choice but to agree.

Lin Yan's cold attitude made Chen Dashan realize that Chen De and his mother's self-righteous talk was nothing but arrogance.
In reality, no one could possibly agree to their exorbitant demands. Lin Yan hadn't turned hostile before because of old friendships,
but now that someone was pressing for repayment, how could she possibly continue to stall?

"Yanzi, you... what are you planning to do?" Chen Dashan felt like crying. He didn't hate Chen De and his mother
for being so aggressive ; he hated himself for being so foolish as to follow their wild ideas.

"What are your plans? And now you're asking me?" Lin Yan glared angrily at Chen Dashan, unable to contain her rage.
"Chen Dashan, you're a real scoundrel! Such a huge debt, what are you pretending to be stupid for? Originally, I planned to
sell the restaurant, pay off the debt, and give you 100,000 yuan, then we'd be even. But you listened to those two sluts and
kept trying to take advantage. Have you lost your mind? Do you really think I, Lin Yan, am a fool who would let you fool me?"
"I didn't..." Chen Dashan clutched his head in anguish, unsure how to respond.

Chen De couldn't help but interject, "Hey, I heard that restaurant is worth over 500,000 yuan. Why should my
uncle only get 100,000 yuan?"

Seeing Chen De still pretending to be stupid, Zhang Dong couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed a cup and smashed it at Chen De, cursing,
"Because you still owe me 250,000 yuan! Damn it! You haven't even paid the money, what are you interjecting for—? Fuck you..."

Looking at the dark and ugly old woman next to Chen De, Zhang Dong interrupted with the most classic curse.

Although Chen De was hit, the cup only hit his clothes and he wasn't injured, but it still
frightened his mother and Chen Dashan.

From their panicked attitude, it was easy to see how spoiled Chen De had been, which had fostered
his personality.

Chen De's mother didn't even dare to throw a tantrum anymore, constantly giving Chen Dashan meaningful glances, meaning: she was afraid Zhang Dong might beat her precious son if he
lost his temper , and she wanted her brother to find a solution.

"Chen Dashan, I'll be blunt now, it's 80,000 yuan." Lin Yan looked coldly at Chen Dashan and said, "After selling
the restaurant, plus the cash we have now, we have more than 200,000 yuan. Originally, I thought we could part amicably, and I would give you 100,000 yuan.
If you had any difficulties, I could grit my teeth and give you more money. But I didn't expect you to have lost your mind and
go crazy with them. Now, take the 80,000 yuan or not, it's up to you. You can sue me if you want, I'm not afraid of anything. Anyway,
it's impossible for you to get a single extra penny from me."

"Wasn't the restaurant said to be worth more than 500,000 yuan?" Chen De's mother panicked when she heard this, but with Zhang Dong watching her intently
from the side, she didn't dare to shout too loudly, and she didn't even dare to use a single swear word.

"Fine, 500,000 yuan it is, I'll sell it to you!" Lin Yan glared at Chen De's mother,
spitting disdainfully, and said, "It's all because of you, you gossipy old woman, stirring things up. Now you say 500,000 yuan, okay, I'll
sell it to you directly, how about that?"

Chen De's mother was speechless. After all, Xiaoli Town was remote and poor, and they
had already found out how much the restaurant could sell for. At most, it would be 450,000 yuan. Now that they thought about it, getting 100,000 yuan was indeed very generous, since
they still had a debt to pay off before splitting the money. However, they were selfish and greedy, and when there was profit to be made, they would never
think of these principles. All they thought about was how to get as much benefit as possible.

Chen De and his mother were used to taking advantage of trivial things, and they wouldn't use their brains to get a big advantage.
How could they expect people to give them money just by throwing a tantrum? Even watching a monkey show isn't that expensive.

Zhang Dong was speechless at this selfish mother and son. They dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. If
they were to be extorted by them, then this world was too easy to cheat people out of money.

"Uh, 80,000 yuan..." Chen Dashan was speechless. To be honest, it was indeed reasonable to give 80,000 yuan
. He couldn't find any reason to ask for a penny more.

"One word: take it or leave it? I don't want to waste any more words with you." Lin Yan scolded irritably, "It's all because you've
lost your mind, letting yourself be played like a fool. You didn't take the 100,000 yuan I offered you before, and now it's too late to regret it.
Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of a fight to the death. Anyway, once the restaurant is sold, we're even
. If you don't want the money, I'll keep it for myself. That's all the money I have. If you want me to suffer a loss, don't even dream about it."
"Okay, okay!" Chen Dashan nodded.

Chen De and his mother were very disappointed and began to regret making all this trouble. Why did they have to pretend to be crazy? They should have just
agreed to take the 100,000 yuan from the beginning. Now, they were missing 20,000 yuan for no reason, which was
a huge sum for them, who were lazy and good-for-nothing.

"What's the use of your agreement? Hurry up and talk to your two ancestors. Don't make them so angry that they die
. I can't bear the responsibility." Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the unwilling Chen De and his mother, she couldn't help but say
sourly.

"This...this is too little, isn't it? You sold it for over 400,000 yuan..." Chen De wanted to speak, but seeing
Zhang Dong's menacing gaze and Chen Dashan's ashen face, he couldn't utter a single reason.

Chen De's mother gritted her teeth, but was helpless.

Seeing this, Chen Dashan sighed, "Alright, 80,000 yuan it is. I promise
I won't want anything after I get the money, the whole restaurant is yours. But you'd better give me the money quickly, Ade's wedding can't
be delayed any longer. Consider this my fault, I hope you can resolve this as soon as possible for the sake of our past as husband and wife."
"What else do you want? It's just some junk."

Lin Yan glared at Chen De and his mother, annoyed, and said to Chen Dashan, "Don't worry, I will
sell . I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." After saying that, Lin Yan ignored the ashen-faced Chen Dashan and
the unwilling Chen De and his mother, stood up, and turned to leave.

As Lin Yan stepped out of the vegetable garden gate, her previously icy expression finally melted, and she breathed a sigh
of relief, looking as if a great burden had been lifted. Although there was no contempt or anger on her face, a lingering sense of disgust remained.

Zhang Dong followed behind Lin Yan, seeing her in such a state of turmoil, and couldn't help but ask, "Yanzi, are you really going to
sell the restaurant? It's your and Lin Ling's livelihood."

"There's no other way. To get rid of Chen Dashan, I have to do this. Besides, I still owe you so much money."
Lin Yan smiled with relief, hugged Zhang Dong and gave him a gentle kiss, saying, "Don't think I'm sad.
I'm actually very happy. After dealing with this, I feel much lighter. Lingling and I really have no
other support, but as long as we're not lazy, we won't have to worry about not being able to make a living. We've been through so much hardship over the years
, so don't worry, I'm not sad at all."

"I threw away that IOU a long time ago, and that debt no longer exists!" Zhang Dong reached out and hugged Lin Yan, whispering in her
ear , "Our relationship doesn't need to be maintained like this anymore, okay? You don't have to think about anything.
I'll take care of you in the future. With me here, I'll make you live a happy life."

"Hmm... but you don't belong here." Lin Yan's face lit up, but then turned to disappointment, her expression
becoming gloomy.

"But I'll stay here," Zhang Dong said tenderly, looking at Lin Yan. "Xiaoli Town isn't
a place I'd want to stay, but there are people I love here. Give me some time to prove that I won't leave,
and I won't leave you."

Lin Yan smiled happily and buried her head in Zhang Dong's chest.
She didn't yet know how many people Zhang Dong loved.

Before finding a good way to handle this relationship, Zhang Dong wouldn't go public. After worrying for so long, he could only leave
it to fate and let things take their course. He couldn't control this tangled and complicated relationship anymore.

The two snuggled together like lovers in the throes of passion, and at Zhang Dong's suggestion, went shopping. Afterwards, they had a Western meal
before returning to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Dong, just like before, asked Lin Yan and Lin Ling to choose their preferred room styles, using the same excuse
of his company's investigation.

It has to be said that women in love are blind. It's
one thing for naive young girls like Chen Nan and Chen Yuchun to be blind, but even a mature and independent woman like Lin Yan can be just as infatuated. She still hasn't asked
Zhang Dong what he does or what his identity is, perhaps out of a kind of infatuated trust.

In Zhang Dong's eyes, Lin Yan is adorably naive. If he were a conman, he would have succeeded in swindling her out of money and sex.

Zhang Dong's mind wandered for a moment, thinking: This small town is truly a blessed place, enhancing my birth chart and
boosting my luck in love. Every woman who comes my way is someone I can't let go of.

After spending a night alone, Zhang Dong habitually got up early for a run, then called Captain Li, asking
the company 's lawyer to draft a contract and sending him the room number and other decorating options.

After all, it was the boss's order. Zhang Dong had just finished lunch when the Far East Group's lawyer
rushed over with the drafted contract, waiting respectfully on the first floor of the hotel. His expression was as serious as a eunuch about to meet the emperor,
but he looked utterly bewildered. He couldn't understand
why would stay in such a run-down hotel. Calling it a hotel was an understatement; to most people, it was just
an inconspicuous little hostel.

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhang Dong said, smoking as he walked downstairs, followed by Lin Ling and Lin Yan.

The Lin sisters were both dressed beautifully today. Lin Yan's allure and Lin Ling's innocence each had their own charm. Although
Lin Ling still seemed somewhat awkward during their banter, her attitude towards Zhang Dong, influenced by Lin Yan after this incident
, was no longer as hostile towards him.

"Boss!" The lawyer, a kind-looking man in his forties, respectfully placed the file folder on the table and
said cautiously, "This is the contract you asked for this morning. It's been drafted and is very detailed. My
colleagues in the legal department and I proofread it several times; there are absolutely no oversights."

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Dong took the file, handed it to Lin Yan, and then took a set of
car keys from the lawyer. This was the car he had borrowed from Li Shisheng earlier that day.

Originally, Li Shisheng wanted to curry favor and send his personal BMW, but Zhang Dong wasn't
interested , so he only wanted a Toyota from the company. The lawyer hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Boss, why are you staying here? This small town is remote; there aren't many good restaurants, and life isn't convenient. There's a rather nice hotel in the city called Fuhao. I'll go back and book a suite for you.

"

"Should the company secretary rent an apartment first?"

"No need, thank you for your trouble." Zhang Dong smiled. "If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy."

The lawyer, having failed to flatter him, could only leave awkwardly.

After the lawyer left, Lin Yan couldn't help but say, "Honey, I haven't found a buyer yet, why are you already working on
the contract? There's no need to rush this. At least wait until I sell the hotel."

"The buyer is right in front of you." Zhang Dong smiled and pointed to himself, waving his car keys.
Without giving Lin Yan and Lin Ling a chance to react, he pulled Lin Yan's hand and walked outside, saying, "Don't think too much.
You made your decision yesterday, and now you have to listen to this man. I'll handle the rest."
"No, you, you bought a hotel..."

Before the Lin sisters could react, Zhang Dong dragged them into the car.

On the way, Zhang Dong changed the subject, ignoring the surprised Lin Yan sisters, and simply told Lin Yan to call
Chen Dashan and arrange to meet him in the evening.

This put Lin Yan in a dilemma, but when Zhang Dong put on a stern face, his domineering demeanor made her weak
in the knees , and she surrendered. Although she was still uneasy, she called Chen Dashan first.

Driving to the city, Zhang Dong went to the bank first, swiped his card, and was immediately ushered into a VIP room.

Lin Yan was utterly astonished. When Zhang Dong asked for her bank card, she had made an excuse that she didn't have it, but he forcefully
took her ID card to open a new account.

Lin Ling remained silent throughout, but seeing Zhang Dong's decisive attitude and Lin Yan's uneasy yet
happy smile, her resentment gradually disappeared. She seemed to be able to understand Lin Yan's feelings at that moment.

Everything in the past ended when the agreement was reached. Zhang Dong was now comfortably arranging
things for Lin Yan as a man, sharing her worries, and although Lin Yan felt uneasy, she couldn't resist the feeling of happiness.
At this moment, a woman immersed in sweetness was simply powerless to resist.

Watching this scene, Lin Ling felt a surge of relief, yet also a pang of heartache. She thought, "If my sister knew this
scoundrel had other women outside, how heartbroken she would be! I'm already finding this with Sister Lan unbearable,
let alone the fact that Sister Lan said he has other women… If this bastard is just trying to deceive my feelings, that's utterly despicable.
But if he simply wants to play around, why is he so good to my sister?"

Lin Ling was completely baffled, even worrying that Zhang Dong might swindle Lin Yan out of her money. Although Xu Hanlan had said Zhang Dong
was very capable and definitely not that kind of person, seeing Lin Yan's shy and happy smile still made her
overthink that if Lin Yan knew the truth, she would be devastated.

To leave a woman heartbroken after happiness is the cruelest thing.

Lin Ling was in turmoil, secretly grieving, but her thoughts were interrupted by Lin Yan's exclamation.

"What are you doing? I don't want it!"

Lin Ling snapped out of her reverie and saw Lin Yan nervously shoving the card into Zhang Dong's hand.

"What are you doing! This is my own business, why are you giving me so much money?"

"Isn't your restaurant worth 450,000 yuan? Even Chen De and the others didn't object to that price, did they?"
Zhang Dong smiled at Lin Yan, looking completely unfazed, enjoying Lin Yan's rare moment of panic.
"But I still owe you 250,000 yuan." Lin Yan said anxiously.

"Didn't I say I lost the IOU a long time ago? That doesn't exist." Zhang Dong said,
smiling, feeling gratified that none of the women around him were materialistic. Lin Yan valued the relationship,
not his ability to help her.

"No, I can't take your money."

Lin Yan was so anxious that she didn't notice the envious and jealous looks she received from many women—was this woman
crazy? She wouldn't even take money, especially since the boss looked neither old nor fat, and was even somewhat handsome
. She truly didn't know how lucky she was.

Zhang Dong ignored Lin Yan and walked straight out of the bank to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to complete the formalities, no matter what she said
.

Throughout the journey, Lin Yan remained uneasy about the matter, continuing to nag about it even after arriving at other locations,
refusing accept the money.

Zhang Dong almost ignored Lin Yan's words, treating her chatter as mere entertainment; after all, she was beautiful and had a sweet voice, and he didn't mind her
nagging.

Changing the land and business licenses was a troublesome process, taking an entire afternoon to complete.
By then was time to meet Chen Dashan, so the three of them headed to the agreed-upon location.

The meeting place was a fairly decent teahouse in the small town. When the three of them arrived, they found Chen Dashan
standing there, seemingly lost in thought. "Here's the money, here's the contract." Zhang Dong sat down and, without
saying much, placed the 80,000 yuan check and the contract in front of Chen Dashan.

"Hey, this money..."

Lin Yan was already uneasy about taking so much money from Zhang Dong, and seeing him produce the money, she immediately wanted
to speak. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Dong's face hardened, and Lin Ling tugged at her sleeve,
forcing to swallow her words.

Now Lin Ling had to admit that Lin Yan's judgment was correct; Zhang Dong was indeed a responsible man.

Initially, Lin Ling was worried that Lin Yan would be deceived, but now it seemed that worry was unnecessary. A look
of as she suddenly realized she didn't really understand Zhang Dong. She thought: "It seems like Sister Lan said, this man
seems to be all smiles and jokes, but he's also quite cunning, though he's not a bad person.

" "I've bought the hotel," Zhang Dong said casually while Chen Dashan was still in a daze.

Hearing this, Chen Dashan gave a bitter smile, signing the contract and taking the money without even reading it carefully.

As he left, Chen Dashan sighed, "Sigh, it's all my fault this time. After Ade's wedding,
I'll be smuggling myself abroad with someone else to have sex. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again." With that, Chen Dashan left.

Seeing Chen Dashan sighing, it was clear that the selfishness of Chen De and his mother had hurt him deeply. However, he was a
rigid person and didn't complain about the outcome at all; in fact, he felt guilty, firstly towards Lin Yan,
and secondly because he felt he didn't have much ability to help Chen De. In short, Chen Dashan was a pushover, so good that it
was impossible to hate him.

Finally, the matter was resolved, and even though they were separated, there was no hatred. Lin Ling's expression was also indifferent.

Lin Yan tugged at Zhang Dong's sleeve, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, and said, "Honey, you shouldn't spend this money.
Come with me to the bank later, and I'll transfer the money to you."

"Silly girl, do you still consider me your man?!" Zhang Dong also breathed a sigh of relief; if Lin Ling hadn't been there...
He probably grabbed Lin Yan and kissed her passionately, making her repay him in other ways.

That night, Lin Ling went home alone, while Zhang Dong and Lin Yan spent the whole night together, only checking
into a hotel late at night.

Seemingly to celebrate saying goodbye to the past, Lin Yan was extremely attentive that night, using all her skills to make Zhang Dong feel incredibly good
, especially her incomparably ecstatic "dragon drill," which almost made Zhang Dong lose his mind and nearly cause him to have cramps.
... "Da Dong, husband, I love you." As Lin Yan reached her fourth orgasm, semen filled her uterus. The heat made
Lin Yan unable to help but moan loudly, reaching a
perfect .

Zhang Dong ejaculated with great pleasure, looking at the intoxicated Lin Yan beneath him, and pulled her up, limp as a rag doll.

Lin Yan hummed, then opened her cherry-like vulva and took Zhang Dong's glans into her mouth, licking away
the .

Lin Yan licked the man's semen and the woman's love juice with utter ecstasy, but—after swallowing,
the huge thing in her mouth hardened again. Lin Yan's delicate body trembled, and she said pitifully, "Husband, I... I've felt good
, it hurts a little there."

"Hmm, then let's sleep!" Zhang Dong held the naked Lin Yan in his arms, his hands covering her full breasts.
Looking at Lin Yan, who was happy and infatuated with him, he couldn't help but ask, "Yanzi,
what would you do if I had another woman?"

"You don't like me anymore?" Lin Yan said plaintively, "Is it because I'm becoming less and less able to satisfy you? I can't

stand it after you ejaculate just once, and if this continues, I'll find it strange if you don't find other women." "
No , but I should say men are all a bit fickle." Zhang Dong was a little embarrassed, but still
said in a half-joking tone, "Men are all animals that think with their lower bodies, I was just saying that casually." "
It's okay , if you do, I'll just be a little jealous... but you have to make me happy." Lin Yan hesitated for a moment, then
lovingly embraced Zhang Dong's waist, whispering softly, "Honey, you're getting stronger and stronger, I
can't take it anymore ... Anyway, as long as you don't abandon me, I'm satisfied. As for other women... just don't
go after those shady women."

There was a hint of jealousy in Lin Yan's voice as she spoke, but her expression was dazed, clearly
distracted .

"Yanzi, I love you." Zhang Dong hugged Lin Yan tightly, stroking her flushed face, and said, "Believe
me, I will never abandon you no matter what. Da Dong is your man, and I will do everything in my power to protect you."
"I know, I understand." Lin Yan felt a warmth in her heart, a happy smile spreading across her face. She kissed Zhang Dong's face,
murmuring tenderly, "If you want to find other women, I can ignore it, but you must promise me you won't find anyone worse than me,
otherwise it will hurt my pride."

Whether Lin Yan's words were true or false, Zhang Dong couldn't tell.

While it might seem unreal for a woman to be so magnanimous, Lin Yan's attitude deeply moved Zhang Dong, and he looked forward
to a wonderful life with women on both sides.

The two embraced, whispering sweet nothings, before drifting off to sleep.
