【209】Money, money, money, more money



Damn, what happened to the cruel, bloodthirsty and inhumane thing?

When did that cruel and merciless tyrant become so childish and ridiculous?

Li Yuan immediately felt as if ten thousand straw horses were roaring past his head. His hands, which were tightly holding the braised pork, were shaking so much that he couldn't even put the pork into his mouth.

With a "click" sound, it rolled around on the cold stone table and stopped there, motionless.

Li Yuan stared at Wei Jie's bottomless eyes without noticing anything and sneered, "Your Highness the Phoenix King, wasting food is shameful, don't you know?"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows and said nothing. "I am a wasteful king. What can you do to me?"

What can you do to me? What can you do to me?

When these four words kept echoing in Li Yuan's mind, she was really about to cry because of his taking it for granted.

Compared to the two people arguing with each other without paying attention to others, Su Yu on the side seemed much more bored.

Please, can you give a little exposure to such a big person sitting here?

Is it really okay to just leave it alone like this?

Just as he tried to open his mouth to make himself felt, Li Yuan slammed the chopsticks in her hand heavily on the stone table with a "pa" sound, which frightened Su Yu so much that his heart suddenly tightened, and his handsome face was full of horror.

My goodness, their Yuan'er is angry!

From Su Yu's angle, he could clearly see her fiery eyes. Because of anger, even her neck, which was as black as ink, showed signs of becoming slightly thicker.

Su Yu turned around and looked at Wei Jie. Although he looked indifferent on the surface, Su Yu thought of his sudden action. It seemed that he reacted after seeing him. Gradually, his expression changed.

His gaze gradually moved from the soup and food scattered on the ground to Wei Jie's deep eyes. After catching the fleeting interest, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up in a meaningful arc.

Could it be that Wei Jie is... jealous?

Could it be that..., like them, he was unconsciously attracted by the personal charm of their little sister Yuan?

When Su Yu thought of this possibility, he felt a tightness in his chest. He couldn't tell what he felt. He should be happy, but he couldn't smile no matter what. Instead, he became uneasy because of this possibility.

Especially when Wei Jie's slightly impatient look fell on him, he became even more unhappy.

What does this man mean?

Li Yuan ran to Wei Jie, snatched the food box from his hand, and glared at him angrily: "You psychopath, you ruined the good food, don't even think about taking it away!"

Wei Jie let her take the food box from him, and raised his eyebrows, "Are you still planning to eat here? Aren't you afraid that I will ruin it again?"

Li Yuan paused as he was about to open the food box. His fiery eyes immediately glared at him warily, and he took the opportunity to protect the food box against his chest, "You dare!"

Wei Jie sneered, "Do you think I dare?"

Li Yuan was short of breath, but her stomach was growling loudly. Helplessly, she glanced at Su Yu and said, "Brother Su, I'm going to find a place to eat first. Wait for me!"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes fiercely at someone, raised his short legs, and ran towards the room with a stern look on his face.

Watching her protecting the food, someone raised the corner of his lips in relief after she left.

That’s right, if you’re going to eat, you should eat what he brings.

As for this Su Yu...

Wei Jie squinted his eyes and looked over. His voice was cold, indifferent and dangerous: "Master Su, I guess you have other things to do?"

Under his deep attention, Su Yu slowly walked down the stone steps, step by step, and walked calmly in front of him.

With a height of just over 1.8 meters, although he was slightly shorter than Wei Jie, and even his physique was not as strong as the other's, Su Yu did not retreat because of this. Instead, he raised his handsome face and took in Wei Jie's expression bit by bit.

"Did you do that on purpose just now?"

Wei Jie suddenly curled his lips, with a deep smile in his eyes, "Isn't this obvious?"

Su Yu's eyes shone, and she frowned unhappily: "Your Highness the Phoenix King, don't you think this is too childish?"

The arc of Wei Jie's mouth widened again, "I am willing, how about it?"

Su Yu laughed out of anger, "Your Majesty the Phoenix King really does whatever he wants!"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "Of course. Why? You want to try it too? I am always at your service."

Su Yu sneered and suddenly brushed past him, "So, the rumors are not to be believed. It seems that His Majesty the Phoenix King is not as unkind as the legend says, haha!"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "Perhaps Master Su would like to try it himself?"

Su Yu left without looking back, "Thank you, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to do that. Since Her Majesty the Phoenix King wants to play, then play seriously. Don't think that she is not popular!"

Although Wei Jie did not see Su Yu's expression at this moment, this sentence was too direct. It was so direct that the smile on his face gradually stiffened until it disappeared.

He looked at his back, and suddenly an inexplicable gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes, "You still say you don't know me? Are you kidding me?"

When Li Yuan came out after eating and drinking, where was Su Yu?

Instead, there was a figure standing under the wintersweet tree that made her angry at first sight.

"Where's Su Yu?"

"I'm leaving."

"You drove him away?"

Wei Jie turned around and cast a cold gaze on her, "Does the king have so much free time?"

Li Yuan looked at his expression, which had finally returned to normal, and snorted in frustration, "I see you're just quite free. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

"Have you rested enough? Isn't it time to do some serious work?"

Li Yuan naturally pointed to what he said, "Don't worry, I won't forget it even if you don't mention it."

As she spoke, she was already heading towards the gate. Wei Jie grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to find Gongzi Yan. What? Do you have a problem?"

Wei Jie thought of the inexplicable trust between the two men and asked curiously, "That Master Yan seems to trust you a lot?"

"I trust him too. Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt. What's going on? What is your Highness the Phoenix King doubting about now?"

"Why do I feel like things between you two aren't that simple?"

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I didn't expect the Phoenix King to be so suspicious. Haha, sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to waste with you here. If you don't believe her, or don't believe me, then go check those people yourself, don't follow me!"

"You," Wei Jie looked at the girl's impatient temper and shook his head helplessly. How could he not believe her?

He clearly felt that this Young Master Yan was too complicated and just wanted to remind her to be careful, but this girl thought he was suspicious instead?

What on earth does this brain look like?

When it’s complicated, it can make people anxious to death; when it’s simple, it can make people angry to death!

This idiot!!!

At this moment, Li Yuan didn't care what someone thought. Her heart had long been transferred to his brother and sister.

As soon as he found Gongzi Yan, he didn't waste any time and got straight to the point: "When are you going to release those people?"

Gongzi Yan sat there calmly and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Let them go? Did I tell you to let them go?"

"You, why are you keeping it?" Li Yuan frowned slightly, obviously not expecting that he would keep it in suspense for her.

"I have suffered such a huge loss this time, shouldn't I get some benefits from you?"

Gongzi Yan's words were so natural that Li Yuan was furious. "You bastard, your loss has nothing to do with us. If you want to find someone, you should go find that Hong Xie!"

"This..., didn't he run away?"

"If he runs away, we should pay for it? What's your idea?"

"That's the normal way of thinking. No matter if it's him or you, you are both outsiders in our city that never sleeps. I should naturally be humble!"

Li Yuan took out the black jade token from her bosom and said, "Damn it, how could you just turn around and forget about this? So this token is also fake?"

Gongzi Yan raised his eyes lazily, "No, no, these are two different things, they can't be confused!"

Li Yuan gritted her teeth, "So when are you going to release them? And how?"

"It's simple. When the time comes, just use the silver to redeem the person."

"Money, money, money, money again. Why don't you just go after the money?"

Seeing Li Yuan was furious, Gongzi Yan curled his lips in a very good mood, "Okay, this world is so realistic, it's absolutely impossible to live without money. You can also notify them for me, and I will make a list later. How much money should be prepared, you all go back and prepare it."
