Chapter 2258
The Player
Yan Jiekuang recently found a good place.
In business, he wasn't as honest as Yan Bugui had imagined.
Putting aside other things, he once secretly collected a few potted plants and then resold them.
Even though he knew very well that he was not as professional as Yan Bugui in identifying the quality of flowers or in bargaining.
Just like the orchid he bought for three dollars.
Yan Bugui initially said he sold it for thirty, but he was already quite satisfied.
When he brought the broken flowerpot home and put it on the ground, it shattered into pieces all over the floor.
Yan Jiekuang felt utterly disheartened. At that moment, he was just hoping that the patient could be saved and that he could break even.
Later, Yan Bugui said he sold it for thirty yuan and gave him ten yuan, which made him overjoyed.
Some of the flowers he collected privately from the streets and alleys, even though he knew that if they were given to Yan Bugui, his father might sell them for forty or fifty yuan.
But he preferred to sell them at thirty.
The reason is quite simple: he buys it for twenty yuan and sells it for thirty yuan, so he can make ten yuan.
Yan Jiekuang didn't know how much his father would give him if the money was given to Yan Bugui.
It was precisely when it came to money that the selfish nature of the Yan family father and son was fully revealed.
Besides, there are some benefits to hanging out with those middlemen.
This place was brought here by a middleman.
That middleman has a lover here.
It is said that he had just returned from the countryside, where the middleman had brought him over for a drink.
At the table, the mistress would occasionally wink at Yan Jiekuang, and under the table, she would sometimes touch him with her small hand.
Yan Jiekuang hadn't eaten meat for over a year, so how could he resist such temptation?
The next day, after watching the middleman leave, he sneaked in.
The woman seemed to know he was coming; she didn't exclaim at all, but instead closed the door and started kissing him.
Her body is as flexible as a cloud, her skin as smooth as silk, and she knows all kinds of difficult moves.
He completely captivated Yan Jiekuang.
The woman said she loved Yan Jiekuang's scholarly air.
This really hit Yan Jiekuang where it hurt.
He never imagined that in this lifetime, he would meet a woman who could understand him in this turbulent world.
The two agreed that if the woman hung up a small orange lantern, it meant no one was home, and Yan Jiekuang could go over.
The woman never asked him for money or anything.
According to the woman, she liked Yan Jiekuang as a person, not because she was after his money.
Of course, Yan Jiekuang couldn't come empty-handed every time.
Sometimes, you have to make a gesture.
As time went on, Yan Jiekuang asked the woman why she was entangled with that middleman.
They have their own answers. According to the woman, the house belonged to a middleman. She came back from the countryside, but her sick mother and young sister were still there.
She couldn't find a decent job, and without relying on someone capable, she didn't even know where to raise the money to send her mother medicine every month.
When it comes to money, Yan Jiekuang is definitely wary.
He tentatively asked how much money the woman sent to the countryside each month.
Logically speaking, if she had used her beauty to seduce him, she should have offered a price and played the victim. But the woman didn't. Instead, she told Yan Jiekuang not to ask any more questions and just to enjoy the long night.
The woman also said that her younger sister was prettier than her, and if she could return to the city, she would definitely introduce her clean-cut, seventeen-year-old sister to Yan Jiekuang.
Anyone with experience in the martial arts world should be able to tell that this woman is definitely suspicious.
All they were thinking about was playing the long game.
Yan Jiekuang, who was in the thick of it all, couldn't see it clearly.
I thought it was really the beginning of his luck with women.
"Bang...bang bang..." Yan Jiekuang knocked carefully on the door, his heart pounding with tension.
As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen lover.
Yan Jiekuang is now enjoying the thrill of 'stealing'.
The sound of the wooden door opening startled Yan Jiekuang, who involuntarily took a few steps back.
Only when he saw clearly that the person who opened the door was the woman he had been longing for day and night did he immediately go to greet her.
The woman had a beautiful face and wore a plain-colored nightgown. Her figure was graceful, and the silk nightgown showed her most beautiful side to Yan Jiekuang.
Yan Jiekuang felt a surge of heat rush down his body and immediately felt it.
"What are you standing there for? Come in quickly," the woman said coquettishly.
Yan Jiekuang scratched his head, grinned foolishly, and went inside.
He wrapped his arms around the woman's slender waist, feeling the smooth silk of her nightgown, and already imagined the skin beneath it, smooth and supple...
Once inside, the woman pushed aside the impatient Yan Jiekuang and said as she walked toward the kitchen, "You're lucky. He ate here this afternoon. I left you some beef and some wine."
Jie Kuang, come pick him up for me. You haven't eaten yet, have you?
When Yan Jiekuang heard that there was meat to eat, he temporarily put aside the dirty thoughts in his mind. He took a small plate of beef from the woman, picked up a small piece, and put it in his mouth.
What he didn't notice was that when the woman turned her back, she couldn't help but curl her lip in disdain.
But when she turned around, the woman smiled radiantly and was as gentle as water.
She took Yan Jiekuang's arm and walked into the bedroom. After setting out the food and drinks, she poured herself a glass of wine, held the glass, and sat down on Yan Jiekuang's lap.
The wine was the color of amber, and her red lips were luscious and tempting.
With a beautiful woman in your arms, what in the world could be more enjoyable?
"Xia, I'll marry you!" Yan Jiekuang said, taking the beauty's hand and finishing the wine in his cup, his eyes glazed over as he looked at her.
"Let's not talk about this again. Forget it, our relationship was just a fleeting affair."
"After I'm gone, find a good man to marry and have children with, and never think of me again." The woman named Zhao Xia said gently, her arm around Yan Jiekuang's neck.
However, the sorrow in the woman's beautiful eyes pained Yan Jiekuang.
"I'm serious! I don't care about your past, you're a good girl."
I'm willing to marry you, and we'll have several chubby babies together...
"I can earn money, I can support you..." Yan Jiekuang became anxious as he watched the girl refuse again.
"I'll take you seriously." The girl stood up, dodged Yan Jiekuang's embrace, and sat down at the other end of the table.
She kept her head down and didn't make a sound, but Yan Jiekuang could tell that the girl was sobbing.
He stood up, stood next to the girl, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "What are you worried about?"
You should know how I feel about you.
"well···
I know, I know Jie Kuang, you're good to me.
But we also need to consider reality, okay?
"I'll only ask you one question: if I go with you, what will happen to my mother and my sister?" The woman sighed and asked earnestly. (End of Chapter)
