Yes, as a businessman whose motive is to gain benefits, when dealing with money all day, Ling Yao should understand more than anyone else that in this world, money is the only thing that cannot be earned.
The human heart was greedy. She wanted to make money, and she couldn't deny it.
He thought about how she could be seen on the golf course as a waitress, in the health care company as a salesman, and even in the corner of the TV show. And now, she was even willing to give herself up for money?
Due to the faintly discernible coldness that was being emitted by Ling Yao's body, the air in the narrow carriage suddenly became stagnant, and even breathing became extremely sticky.
"Do you really need money that badly?"
I'm really, really short!" She dejectedly answered truthfully, thinking about the sea family's huge debt, not knowing when she would be able to repay it.
Ling Yao was silent. Last time, he had asked her the same question, and she had rejected him directly. This time, she had used an entirely opposite answer, meaning that she had already thought it through. For the sake of money, could she accept anything?
He felt a fire burning in his chest as he concentrated on the woman's slender, jade-like neck.
"Hai Xiaomin!" He called her by her name, and his tone was unpleasant.
"Hmm?" Hai Xiao Min looked at him in a daze. The anger in the man's eyes puzzled her.
Ling Yu raised his chin, saying coldly and arrogantly, "If you want money, I can provide you with a simpler and faster method!"
"…" Hai Xiaomin was already aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Take off your clothes!" He spoke in a commanding tone, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, appearing cold and unfeeling.
Hai Xiao Min's body stiffened. She helplessly swallowed her saliva: "Ling Yao, what do you mean?"
"Compared to those crooked dates, doesn't Miss Hai feel that it is more worthwhile to earn money from me, no matter how you look at it?" Ling Shang was a handsome man with a grave and stern expression. His eyes were full of contempt, and his slightly curved lips contained a trace of ridicule.
How long had it been since she had seen him like this?
After the two of them got to know each other, he was either cold towards her or was gentle and considerate towards her. She had almost forgotten how arrogant and proud he was when she came to him asking for a favor.
At that time, she didn't pay much attention to that aloof and arrogant attitude of hers. She didn't expect to see such a disdainful and mocking face again. The impact would be so great!
It was as if thousands of needles were stabbing his heart at the same time.
She truly did not understand. Why was he, Ling Yao, so arrogant? Why did he use this kind of attitude to ridicule her again and again, to humiliate her?
It wasn't like he had provoked him. If he didn't like her, he could just leave her by the side of the road. It wasn't like someone begged him to make a move!
His pretty face turned cold, like a hedgehog facing an enemy. With all the thorns on her body standing up, he said: "Mr. Ling, you are indeed a golden steamed bun, everyone wants to take a bite out of you. "Please turn your head and look out the window. That's right, those nightclubs, there are countless women who would love to eat you alive. If you don't mind, I'll trouble you to take two more steps. We'll be there after we cross the road!"
Ling Yao's thin lips pursed even tighter. Deep in his heart, he tried his best to suppress the little lady's anger all over, and slightly lowered his gaze.
"That's right!" I do lack money! " Hai Xiaomin openly admitted this point, although she was clearly embarrassed, she tried her best not to lose her composure. With a twist of her voice, she said with a cold smile, "But I'm asking myself, the money I earn is all real money, not a single bit is not clean!"
As she said that, Hai Xiaomin opened the car door, turned around and was about to get off.
However, her hand was suddenly grabbed by the man behind her. She coldly glanced back, meeting his gaze.
There was no longer any anger in his eyes. There was only calmness and profoundness as usual, as if the vast ocean could make one sink into it with a single glance, unable to extricate themselves.
"This is my fault, I apologize!" Ling Yao said word by word, not avoiding her eyes.
"…" Hai Xiao Min was so shocked that her brows were raised. This man actually apologized to her and admitted his wrongs?
As he gradually pulled her hand, Hai Xiaomin even forgot to resist, and was pulled back into the back seat, sitting there blankly with a face full of horror.
"I'll call Jess back. I'll take you home first." Ling Yao contacted Zegna.
Zegna should be nearby. He quickly arrived at the driver's side of the vehicle. He bent over and asked, "Boss, is everything done?"
Finally, he said in a somewhat vague tone, somewhere between a statement and a question.
Hai Xiao Min didn't understand for a moment. Was he saying that the matters outside had already been resolved, or was he asking Ling Yao?
"Alright, get in the car." Ling Yao nodded his head and gave his directions.
Hearing their familiar conversation, Hai Xiaomin looked at this and stared at that. After a long while, she frowned and asked, "How do you know where we will move to?"
The carriage suddenly became silent.
Jess peeked at his boss through the rearview mirror.
Ling Yao: "…"
Does he mean that he just told Zegna to check it out?
In the wee hours of the morning, a black car silently drove into the safe zone.
Fortunately, it was late at night and if it were during the day, this remote district would have attracted many curious gazes with the appearance of such a luxurious car with a market price of over ten million.
"Do you live here now?" Ling Yao got down from the car and looked around under the dim lights of the street lamps.
When he first entered the residential complex, there wasn't even a gate. The residential security index was way too low.
"Yes." Since he had already delivered them to his house, there was nothing to hide. Hai Xiao Min closed the door of the car, raised her head and looked at the floor she was on, and asked, "Do you want to go up for a ride?"
She was sent home without even a sip of tea. It seemed a bit unreasonable, but at this late hour, she thought it would be embarrassing for them to bother her, so her words were only equivalent to ordinary pleasantries.
Ling Yao followed her gaze and looked over. It was a very dark building, with very few lights still on. He casually nodded and said, "Okay."
Hai Xiao Min was stunned.
What else could she say when she met someone who didn't play according to the rules? She speechlessly puffed her cheeks before looking at another person. "Mr. Jess Xiu, you should come along as well."
One was a waiter, and the other two were the same.
"I can't." "I'm a bit tired. I'll take a nap inside the car. I have to drive back later."
Without forcing anything, Hai Xiao Min greeted the other party and brought Ling Yao to the staircase.
"It's so dark, why is there no light?" Ling Yao's voice came from the darkness.
"The sensing lamp is broken. It has not been repaired. Wait a moment." As Hai Xiaomin explained, the sound of something being rummaged could be heard.
"…" Ling Yao was still blindly groping about in the darkness when he suddenly bumped into something soft in front of him. He subconsciously tried to step back, but his body stumbled and he hurriedly grabbed onto something to stabilize himself.
