Before, the two of them were cheating outside the train station. If they were lucky, they could extort money from one or two people. When they were lucky, they could earn five yuan, and when they were unlucky, they could earn one or two yuan. On average, they could earn about fifty to one hundred yuan a month.
This was not a small amount of money at the time, almost as much as the salary of a district chief!
But the money came too quickly and easily, and Du Anping and Qu Jingyun's appetites had long been inflated. Even if they could scam 150 yuan a month, they would quickly squander it all.
But when Qu Jingyun played the role of a weak woman who came from another place to live with her relatives outside the train station, Qi Mingyuan not only stepped forward to drive away the hooligans who were "harassing" her, but also put his tweed coat on Qu Jingyun.
Qu Jingyun immediately took the coat to the pawn shop to inquire about the price. To her surprise, the woolen coat alone could be pawned for eighty yuan!
This was the price offered by the pawnshop, which was known to be "black-hearted". Qu Jingyun immediately realized that the value of this tweed coat was at least around two hundred yuan. How rich must Qi Mingyuan be to casually put this tweed coat on her, to not take a tweed coat worth two hundred yuan seriously?
She immediately took back the tweed coat that she had been planning to exchange for money, and regardless of the pawnshop owner who kept asking her to go back and negotiate a higher price, she happily returned to the Du family holding the tweed coat.
Du Anping was a little surprised to see her bring the woolen coat back. He thought the price offered by the pawnshop was not good, and was about to go out to settle the account with the pawnshop, but was stopped by Qu Jingyun.
She excitedly told Du Anping about the plan she had come up with along the way. Of course, she omitted the fact that she had a crush on Qi Mingyuan. Instead, she talked about how rich Qi Mingyuan was and how it would be a waste to just cheat him out of a woolen coat. It would be better to play the long game to catch a bigger fish...
At the end, Du Anping finally understood what Qu Jingyun was planning.
He sneered:
"You've said all this, but it's just that you've fallen for this rich man and want to climb up the social ladder, right? Qu Jingyun, do you think that just because I haven't dealt with you these days, you can afford to think about this and that?"
Qu Jingyun's heart tightened. He didn't expect that the explanation he had painstakingly thought out along the way would be immediately seen through by Du Anping. He quickly explained:
"Brother Du, you're really wronging me. I know exactly who I am. How could I have such unrealistic thoughts?"
"I really think it's a rare opportunity to meet a big fish like Qi Mingyuan. It's a shame to only cheat him out of a hundred yuan. If we can make a big profit from him, maybe we won't have to worry about anything for the next one or two years."
Du Anping was skeptical about what she said, but when he heard Qu Jingyun say that the big sum would be enough to last for a year or two, he couldn't help but feel a little eager:
"Is the Qi guy really that rich?"
Seeing that he was a little shaken, Qu Jingyun quickly stuffed the woolen coat into his hands and analyzed the situation with him carefully.
Du Anping listened and actually felt that Qu Jingyun's analysis made some sense, but he didn't trust her at all, so he said:
"Don't think I'll believe you just because you say something nice. How would I know if you're just trying to take advantage of someone else's influence and kick me out?"
Seeing that she had tried her best to persuade Du Anping for a long time but he remained unmoved, Qu Jingyun couldn't help but feel anxious. However, she knew that if she couldn't convince Du Anping, she would have to watch Qi Mingyuan, the big ship that could take her ashore, leave.
But before she could persuade him again, she heard Du Anping change the subject:
"However, if you want me to cooperate with you, that's fine. Let's sleep together tonight. When you really become my woman, I will naturally believe that you won't play any tricks. Then I can cooperate with you in whatever way you want!"
Qu Jingyun was shocked. In order to avoid being targeted by Du Anping, she didn't even dare to take off her clothes to sleep these days. Most of the money they got from fraud was spent by Du Anping on eating, drinking, gambling and whoring. Only when Du Anping was in a good mood, he would take her out to a restaurant or buy her a few clothes, and she would be willing to work hard and do it with pleasure.
In fact, she just hoped that Du Anping's animal desires would be satisfied outside, so that he would not set his sights on her when he came back, but she didn't expect that Du Anping still had no intention of letting her go!
Qu Jingyun's mind raced. It was impossible to reason with such a beast. He could only divert his attention by using something he cared about more, and that was money.
She changed her usual behavior of always guarding against his closeness, took the initiative to sit next to Du Anping, took his arm and said softly:
"Brother Du, you are my lifesaver and you gave me a place to stay. I can't express my gratitude enough. It doesn't matter if you just want my body. I can give you everything I can."
"But think about it, they say a woman's virginity is precious. Why don't we trade it for a high price? Once you have money, you can get any woman you want. Besides, won't I still be yours by then?"
Du Anping's bones were softened by her soft and boneless little hands, and he was so flattered by her words that he felt like he was floating in the air.
Come to think of it, any woman would be like that when the lights are turned off. Since Qu Jingyun can be sold for a good price, why should he be so stingy with the money?
With Qu Jingyun's sweet talk, the matter of sleeping that night was covered up, but Du Anping naturally refused to agree to Qu Jingyun's request so easily.
But after he had secretly followed Qi Mingyuan for a few days, he found that this man was really a wealthy boss as Qu Jingyun said. In addition, Qu Jingyun kept lobbying him eloquently in his ear, and he gradually felt that Qu Jingyun's idea was a good one.
So after Du Anping tracked Qi Mingyuan's whereabouts, he created a scene where Qu Jingyun and Qi Mingyuan met again by chance. Qi Mingyuan was surprised and felt that he and Qu Jingyun were so destined to be together.
During their conversation, Qu Jingyun tearfully recounted her miserable experience of "her family falling into poverty and having to travel far to Ning City to live with relatives, but being kicked out by them", which made Qi Mingyuan feel sympathetic.
Then Qu Jingyun came to his house under the pretext of returning clothes, which made Qi Mingyuan feel that although she was poor, she was very honest and not greedy for money. He also unexpectedly discovered that Qu Jingyun was very patient and meticulous in treating children, and spoke gently and lovingly.
Because Qu Jingyun left a good impression on Qi Mingyuan, Qi Mingyuan, out of kindness, offered Qu Jingyun a job on the pretext of hiring a nanny for Qi Shengzhi. Of course, Qu Jingyun gladly accepted it.
Later, as the two of them spent every day together, Qu Jingyun cared about everything about the father and son, far exceeding the duties of a nanny. One time when they were out, in order to save Qi Shengzhi from a "out-of-control" car, she disregarded her own safety and resolutely rushed over to hug the young Qi Shengzhi and protect him in her arms. Such selfless behavior also deeply shocked Qi Mingyuan, and his affection for her doubled.
Later, on a thunderstorm night with lightning and thunder, after Qi Shengzhi fell asleep, Qu Jingyun, wearing a thin nightgown, "accidentally" ran into Qi Mingyuan in the kitchen. Qi Mingyuan was used to drinking a glass of red wine before going to sleep. It was not known whether it was because they were too drunk that night, or whether it was just natural for adults to have a natural relationship, but the two of them immediately became like a flaming fire, and it was out of control...
