“Right now, my man owns… eight coal mines, then two construction companies…” Sangya counted on her fingers, “and a dozen or so nightclubs and foot massage parlors…”
Nangong Jue: ...
Why does this sound so off?
"No, we can't say that now. Now it's called a bar, a karaoke bar..." Le Yao suddenly chuckled and waved her hand, "I have a dozen or so foremen and a dozen or so madams, no, I mean professional managers..."
Sangya's eyes flickered.
"That's amazing?"
"Absolutely!" Le Yao said, her eyebrows dancing with excitement.
Cough cough!
Tao Qing couldn't listen anymore and coughed twice unconsciously.
"Hehe, never mind." Le Yao quickly chuckled awkwardly. "But Sang Ya, don't tell anyone, I just feel a connection with you..."
"Yeah?"
“Okay.” Sangya nodded. “I hit it off with my sister right away, so if you have time, why don’t you come to my house for a visit? Let me be your host, okay?”
"Okay." Le Yao nodded hurriedly, but then suddenly stopped. "Um, let me ask my man."
Sangye nodded.
Le Yao turned to Nangong Jue and asked, "May I visit Sang Ya's house?"
"No," Nangong Jue shook his head. "We're not familiar with each other, what if..."
"Why don't you come along, Mr. Qian?" Sangya invited with a smile.
"this……"
"What? Are you worried that I'll harm you?" Sangya sighed. "We didn't know each other before, but since you're worried, then forget it."
“Sure.” Nangong Jue nodded. “I also have connections with the people at your consulate.”
"Shall we go then?"
"Now?" Le Yao exclaimed, "Isn't that a bad idea? Coming here so abruptly. We haven't even prepared a gift yet. Maybe tomorrow..."
"It's alright, with our relationship, there's no need to stand on ceremony," Sang Ya smiled. "Besides, didn't you introduce this handsome young man to me? This gift is quite nice."
"But……"
"You have concerns? Then forget it."
"I just felt it was too presumptuous. Since Sangya said it's alright, then we'll take our leave." Le Yao quickly changed her tune, then went over and took Sangya's arm. "Is your house very beautiful? Is it far from here?"
“My house is quite big,” Sangye nodded. “You’ll like it when you go.”
"That's good." Le Yao nodded.
Everyone then headed outside.
“Our car will follow yours.” Nangong Jue gestured to Sang Ya, “Don’t go too fast, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up.”
“Okay.” Sangya nodded, then pulled Hao Kai into her car.
Yuan Bin drove, Tao Qing followed, but Hai Song was nowhere to be found.
The car quickly drove away from the manor, heading north.
"My lord, a car is following us," Yuan Bin reminded him.
"Don't worry about it, just follow along." Nangong Jue curled the corner of his mouth slightly. "When we get there, your task is to protect the lady, understand?"
