Chapter 214: Rich Woman
Zhu residence. Zhu Kesheng carried pastries into the door and saw Chun E painting her eyebrows there, a flash of disgust in his eyes.
Although Chun E looked much better now than before, an older woman was completely different from a young girl, no matter how well she took care of herself; she would not have the tender body of a little girl. Therefore, he had not touched her for years.
Originally, seeing that her business was doing well, he thought that keeping such a money tree at home would not be a problem, so he let her retain the position of main wife and married his beloved Ya’er back as a concubine. In the end, this woman was so insatiable that she secretly investigated him and uncovered everything he had done over the years.
Zhu Kesheng placed his hand on Chun E’s shoulder and said gently, “Madam, I bought you your favorite pastries. Come try them.”
“Forget the pastries! How’s the matter you promised before? If it’s settled, let’s go change the head of household!”
“There’s some trouble over there. I’ve been coaxing them for days, but they just won’t go with us to change the head of household. But don’t worry, I guarantee I’ll get this matter done in the next few days. You and I are the married couple from youth; of course, it’s safer to have the industry under your name. Back then, there was no choice; I offended an enemy and was afraid that enemy would come knocking, so I found that woman to lay low.”
While speaking, Zhu Kesheng opened the pastries and pinched a piece to feed to Chun E’s mouth.
“These pastries are very dry. Aren’t you giving me water?” Chun E said as she took the pastry from his hand.
Zhu Kesheng frowned, his eyes full of disgust.
He went to the table, poured a cup of water, and when he turned back, he saw Chun E chewing the pastry with puffed cheeks, eating very hurriedly, just like she had never eaten pastries before.
His gaze became even more disdainful.
Ya’er always ate elegantly, not like her crude vulgarity.
He must be crazy to abandon a beautiful woman like Ya’er and insist on spending the rest of his life with such a crude old woman.
“Madam, have some water.”
“I’m giving you three days. If you don’t change the head of household to me within three days, I’ll expose your matters.”
“Don’t worry, it will definitely be changed to you.” Zhu Kesheng said as he pinched another piece of pastry to feed to Chun E.
Chun E slapped away the pastry, looking impatient: “Don’t think a little flattery will make me soften.”
After speaking, Chun E held her head, saying in confusion, “What’s going on? Why do I feel so dizzy?”
The corners of Zhu Kesheng’s mouth turned up as he said, “Feeling dizzy is just right.”
“What did you do to me?” Chun E glared at him weakly and shook her head. “You… you want to kill to silence? I am your legal wife.”
“Since you know I’m your legal wife, how dare you threaten me? Who gave you the nerve?” Zhu Kesheng revealed his ferocious true face.
He pressed down on Chun E’s head and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, after you are gone, I’ll hand your ready-to-wear clothing shop over to Ya’er to manage. Ya’er will wear your jewelry, dress in clothes from your shop, manage several pieces of real estate and shops with me, and our child will inherit all our industry.”
“Is that so?” Several people walked out from behind the screen. “Unfortunately, you probably won’t have that opportunity.”
Chun E, who should have been in a coma, also sat up straight, the haziness in her eyes gone, returning to her clear gaze.
Zhu Kesheng was startled by the sudden intrusion of several people and looked at them sharply: “Who are you? This is my home; how dare you break in.”
“We are friends invited by Sister Chun E. We came to visit a friend’s home and happened to see someone trying to commit murder. Do you think if we go to the government office as witnesses, the government office will believe our testimony?”
Behind Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu were more than a dozen tough subordinates; it was clear from their eyes that they were not to be trifled with.
Zhu Kesheng finally understood: that bitch Chun E had gotten smart now and was no longer easy to fool. She must have suspected him long ago and had been waiting for him to make a move.
Zhu Kesheng assessed his current situation.
He could not deal with these people, and he had thoroughly angered Chun E just now. If he did not satisfy her this time, his secrets would truly be exposed in broad daylight. If caught by the government office, it would be exile at best, death penalty at worst.
He had no choice but to yield.
“Fine, I’ll transfer the industry to your name,” Zhu Kesheng said.
“Transfer it now.”
“Some industry is in other provinces; even if transferred immediately, it won’t be that fast.”
“No problem. These friends of mine are willing to accompany me on this trip. Let’s go now, lest someone still wants to kill to silence,” Chun E said with a cold laugh.
Zhu Kesheng was furious but did not dare speak, having no choice but to compromise.
The follow-up matters were handled by these people from Ming Ye Hall accompanying Chun E. For safety, thirty subordinates from Ming Ye Hall escorted Chun E out; seeing such a formation, Zhu Kesheng’s little schemes completely vanished.
Although he was a guard with many brothers under him, only those few fair-weather friends were willing to take risks for him. Even if he hired killers, it would probably be too late.
Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu saw Chun E off at the city gate.
“Are these Ming Ye Hall people reliable? They won’t be unable to handle Zhu Kesheng, right? Zhu Kesheng has murderous intent toward Sister Chun E; he might hire killers too.”
“Don’t worry, Ming Ye Hall people are divided into two parts: one part gathers intelligence, the other does the heavy work. Those doing heavy work are divided into protection and killing.”
“How do you know this so clearly?” Su Yaoguang tilted her head to look at Zhou Wangshu. “Wangshu, you really are attentive; you even asked in such detail.”
Zhou Wangshu hummed: “Isn’t that what should be done?”
“Alright, let’s go back and wait for Sister Chun E’s good news! When she returns, she’ll be a little rich woman here!”
“Not only that, that disgusting man should disappear too.”
“Right.”
Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu walked back chatting and laughing. When they passed the bookstore, wanting to see if there were new books on sale, they strode inside.
Just as they entered, they saw Xiao Yanci talking with the bookstore boss.
“Young Master Xiao, the booklet you wrote is too popular; we’re sold out! Write more; I’m willing to pay a high price.”
Xiao Yanci nodded aloofly, took the silver, and left.
When he turned around, he saw Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu walking in side by side, their intimate behavior filling his eyes with jealousy.
Zhou Wangshu saw Xiao Yanci and his gaze. He put his arm around Su Yaoguang’s shoulder and intimately stroked her hair.
Su Yaoguang was looking at the new books on the shelf and turned back puzzled, but soon understood Zhou Wangshu’s intent, because she also saw Xiao Yanci glaring from opposite.
Seriously ill.
After Xiao Yanci left, Su Yaoguang pushed down his arm: “Childish.”
