Chapter 55 You're the Best

Yao Fanghua felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but she still had to say what she needed to say, "Well, no, it's not that I can't tell. It's just a guess. You know, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. This is like you contributing funds and I contributing labor, just like you said before, it should be split 50/50."

She doesn't expect to make much money in her career anymore; the meager wages at her factory, frankly, aren't a motivation for her to work hard.

Though there's no financial gain, there's fame. She wants to realize her life's value, showcase her talents, and apply her knowledge; she needs to take root there and climb the ladder step by step. She doesn't want to talk about her lofty ideals; perhaps she simply wants success and fame, or the vanity that comes with honor. But she is also genuinely grateful to the country for giving her the opportunity to go to university. She's willing to shine in her position. But if she could have money as a backing while shining, that would be perfect.

Wu Peng was shocked, his eyes widening. They really dared to ask for it! Did they know how many good things might be in each of those places?

"You should thank me for being a gentleman, otherwise if I had found those places, all the things would be mine."

Wu Peng wiped his face and said affectionately, "Hua Hua, how about we go get a marriage certificate first? Everything will be yours."

"Get lost! It's not even close to happening yet. Don't try to trick me into getting a marriage certificate."

"Tell me first, did you leave any messages at your home regarding those pictures?"

Wu Peng sighed, feeling nauseous just thinking about it. "The old man said it's up to fate." He's getting old, and I guess he's become stupid, or maybe he's just scared of him.

"The old man felt that having money wasn't necessarily a good thing. As long as you don't starve, that's fine. You're alive no matter how you live, and a simple life might be better."

That's utter nonsense. How can a life of enjoyment be the same as a life of suffering?

"How can I be comfortable watching others feast while I'm eating coarse food?"

Watching my enemies bask in their carefree bliss? How could I possibly feel at ease? I wish I could stab them again and again, scrape them away layer by layer.

"Anyway, my grandfather and father probably enjoyed enough of life's comforts in the first half of their lives, and they both became quite indifferent to fame and fortune later on." Their only wish for him was that he not seek revenge and live a peaceful old age. They left him some valuables to ensure he wouldn't starve. As for the rest, they simply said, 'Let fate decide.'"

"Good Hua Hua, we're husband and wife, you have to help me." Wu Peng pulled Yao Fanghua into his arms and kissed her.

"Speak properly, don't touch me." Despite these words, Yao Fanghua still enjoyed it. She was dizzy from the kiss.

Then, with unwavering willpower, her consciousness returned. Faced with piles of jade and gold, she had to remain clear-headed and not let anyone try to seduce her.

"I'm definitely going to help you, and it's not just about helping you, since we're splitting the profits 50/50." This time, Yao Fanghua kissed Wu Peng, hooking her arms around his neck.

Wu Peng: ...Get the marriage certificate, get the marriage certificate, I have to get the marriage certificate, I can't take it anymore and I'll make a mistake.

Wu Peng returned the kiss fiercely, "Mmm, you're right, you're absolutely right. It's all yours." Husband and wife are one, no problem. What's hers is his.

Wu Peng was clearly enjoying the experience. Seeing things were about to escalate, Yao Fanghua quickly pushed him away. Wu Peng pressed Yao Fanghua back onto his lap, whimpering and enduring the pain. Yao Fanghua obediently nestled in his arms, not daring to move again.

It took them quite a while, panting, to finally get back to the topic.

"I can figure out a bit of the details, but I don't know where these places are."

Wu Peng's eyes lit up, "One of them is my hometown."

“We’ll go there once I get back from Hong Kong. It’s not far from Beijing; we can make a round trip over the weekend.” He had to sell this jade pendant; it had been worn by the Shen family and was considered unlucky.

Once the money arrives, the factory can be built.

Wu Peng held Yao Fanghua tightly, unwilling to let go. "If you ask me, is that job absolutely necessary for you? Why don't you just come here? I'll get you a Hong Kong identity card too. You really should go and see Hong Kong; you'll definitely like it. When we have money, we'll buy a house there, a villa in the mountains."

Our own factory will produce washing machines here in the future. If you want, we can also produce refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions; we've always aimed to develop in the appliance sector. Are you in or not?

Yao Fanghua knew Wu Peng meant well, and she was actually somewhat tempted; it would be great to be in charge of her own affairs. But with every effort comes a constraint. "I haven't thought about resigning yet. My work there is only halfway done, and I can't just give up for now. I have to achieve something first. The factory manager values ​​me highly, and I can't just walk away."

He knew this would happen, but it's okay. He'll try to persuade her slowly; he'll eventually convince her. They should get married as soon as possible. Once they're married and have children, it won't be good for her to live apart from her husband and their children.

Yao Fanghua never expected that Wu Peng's mind would suddenly shift from persuading her to come here to getting married and having children.

Wu Peng changed the subject, "You know about cordless phones? A few days ago, someone wanted to get into cordless phones and even asked me to invest. Sigh, I'm actually quite interested, but we don't have any money ourselves, where would we get the money to invest in him?"

Yao Fanghua: "Why don't we sell those two bracelets and the gold ingots? We can keep the painting your grandfather left you for now."

"Hua Hua, I knew you were the best."

“I know you’re the best. Your grandfather’s painting will be mine from now on.” Yao Fanghua pecked Wu Peng on the lips.

"Fine!" Wu Peng gritted his teeth. What a troublemaker.

After dropping Yao Fanghua off at her hotel, Wu Peng returned the car and headed straight for Gangcheng.

Yao Fanghua returned to the hotel with her luggage. The room had been booked in advance, and she found it according to the room number. The door was open, and the small room was crowded with people. She even saw police officers, taking notes with pens and notebooks.

What's going on? Yao Fanghua frowned.

Shen Jiao, who was crying to the two policemen, suddenly stood up when she saw Yao Fanghua at the door. "Where did you go? Was it you? Did you steal my jade? You were jealous of me. You peeked at it so many times on the train. Did you steal it? It was you who stole it!"

Yao Fanghua's expression changed. "Don't make baseless accusations. What evidence do you have? You're just spouting nonsense. Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation. This isn't like before, when your Shen family could cover up everything and slander whomever you wanted."

"She's guilty, search her!" Shen Jiao pointed at Yao Fanghua and said sharply. She was frightened, not only by the anger at losing the jade, but also by the fear and resentment. If she couldn't get away with it, Yao Fanghua wouldn't get away with it either, and wouldn't want to see her make a fool of herself!

The two policemen frowned, unable to tolerate Shen Jiao's imperious manner. The Shen family? They had never heard of the Shen family in Shenzhen.

"Comrade Shen, please calm down."

Shen Jiao: "I'm the victim, and you're telling me to calm down?! What are you doing? This isn't over. If you don't get to the bottom of this, if you don't give me an explanation, if you don't arrest the person, I'll appeal to higher authorities, report you, and let the whole country see how you handle cases."

Shen Jiao pointed at Yao Fanghua, "She's the suspect!"

Yao Fanghua wanted to curse. What a mad dog! She really should have let the third brother bite off her finger.
