Wang Chengjin was still talking nonsense: "Mr. Li, this is really too much trouble. Those people are really difficult to deal with. I——"
Li Chengyuan interrupted coldly: "Speak to the point."
Xia Xingchi's eyes swept over the picture of Xiao Naigao, thinking that since this person was so eager to please Li Chengyuan, would he really not consider treating him to something to eat?
It's just as stingy as myself.
If Wang Chengjin knew he was thinking this way, he would definitely cry out in injustice: It was obvious that the boss wanted to take his lover out to play today, and he just asked him to come over to report.
I thought he would bring Master Xia, but he turned out to be a good-looking little lover... But in any case, he would have to be crazy to order food and "join them", sit down and eat while talking.
Seeing Li Chengyuan's impatience, Wang Chengjin quickly finished speaking in one breath: "In short, if you calculate it all - Master Xia will have to pay 15 million to settle the debt."
"What...cough cough cough!"
Xia Xingchi was trying to taste why the lemonade was so expensive, and he choked to death when he heard this.
How come he didn’t know that the original owner owed so much money? !
What kind of fate is this, being penniless for two lifetimes is bad enough, but after traveling through the book, the debt increases tenfold?
The original owner had borrowed from more than a dozen loan sharks, perhaps he himself could not remember how much. They had his money and various information in their hands, and they walked on the edge of the law and would do anything for money.
Although Wang Chengjin is dressed in a suit and tie, he is actually also a local tyrant, but he has more connections and abilities. He smelled a huge business opportunity——
The debt is quite complicated, there are many creditors, and the amount fluctuates.
The boss, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, cannot handle this mess personally. If he wants to settle this messy account, Mr. Li may need a capable assistant who "knows the business".
The kickbacks in this matter would be worth millions, so Wang Chengjin relied on his thick skin and numerous connections to finally contact Li Chengyuan and assured him that he could handle it properly and delete all the photos and information.
After Wang Chengjin made the offer, he quickly observed Li Chengyuan's expression, but found that Li Chengyuan was always calm and didn't have any big reaction after listening to him.
As a result, the "little lover" sitting next to him couldn't sit still first. Xia Xingchi was surprised and mad: "Fifteen million? This is impossible! How can an ordinary person owe so much?!"
After he entered the book, he lived in the Xia family for two days. Although the original owner had many luxury goods that were not commensurate with his income, after all, he did not invest or do business, so he definitely did not have so much money.
Wang Chengjin: "Some are gambling debts, and there is interest... This is usury, the interest will be doubled every day if it is overdue."
"Then why don't they just rob it!" Xia Xingchi said as he pulled Li Chengyuan's arm, "Usury is illegal, Li Chengyuan, we can't pay this money back!"
Li Chengyuan deliberately remained silent, testing and silently observing Xia Xingchi's words, actions and reactions.
Now that some of his conjectures have been confirmed, he has more speculations about Xia Xingchi's origins.
Wang Chengjin thought to himself that this "little lover" was actually so vehemently opposed?
He originally wanted to take advantage of the good relationship between Mr. Li and Young Master Xia to blackmail more. Unexpectedly, the person who came today was not Young Master Xia. The lover was so arrogant that he whispered in the "main wife"'s ear that he refused to pay the money to redeem himself.
"That won't do!" Wang Chengjin hurried to remedy the situation. "If I don't pay the money back or call the police, even if the other party is caught, all the photos will be leaked and sent to everyone in Young Master Xia's address book!"
Even if Xia Xingchi is out of favor, Li Chengyuan will not lose face, right? Each of his watches is worth more than this price, and even a little leak can make someone a lot of money.
"But..." Xia Xingchi opened his mouth and suddenly felt that it sounded familiar.
The original owner was later exposed for indecent photos, and his career was ruined - was it all caused by this money?
If he didn't want to be a cannon fodder, he had to avoid the countless traps that the original owner had fallen into, but he couldn't help but feel conflicted. Let alone 15 million, even 15 dollars would make him feel heartbroken as if he was cutting his flesh.
——How many veal steaks and cheese cakes can you buy with this!
Xia Xingchi thought about it and subconsciously glanced at the delicious food he was drooling over.
"Mr. Li, what do you think we should do?" Wang Chengjin turned around and asked.
However, Li Chengyuan remained calm about this "serious" consequence. He just watched with interest the handsome young man who was struggling and thinking hard beside him.
Wang Chengjin was dumbfounded, thinking that this was simply lust leading to insanity!
She was indifferent to the disaster that befell her fiancé and instead listened to her lover's opinion?
Just as he was about to persuade her again, Li Chengyuan finally spoke up, his tone somewhat helpless: "Xia Xingchi, why are you so stingy with yourself?"
"Because it's really too much money! And they are robbing, which is illegal!"
As Xia Xingchi spoke, he tilted his head and rubbed against Li Chengyuan. Because someone had deliberately not stopped him before, he had always thought that he had to play the role of a couple and was gradually becoming familiar with it.
Wang Chengjin on the side was stunned - Xia Xingchi? So he is Young Master Xia...? !
But isn't it rumored that he is short and fat, looking plain? No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is that he is about to share the property with Mr. Li and has so much money, so why can he be so stingy!
Xia Xingchi rubbed his head like a spoiled child, and Li Chengyuan felt a little stiff and unnatural, with a tingling sensation in his heart. But she didn't push him away, she just pinched his ear gently.
By accident, he hit Xia Xingchi's private and sensitive spot.
His earlobe was pinched lightly by cold fingers, and he shuddered all of a sudden, and his hands and feet went limp as if he had been electrocuted.
The person involved was a little embarrassed and annoyed, but thinking that he was "doing business", he had to endure it and thought that he would tell Li Chengyuan not to touch this place in the future.
Li Chengyuan also noticed his unusual reaction. He was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but wanted to pinch him again in a naughty way.
Only then did he remember that there was an annoying person in the box, so he turned coldly and asked Wang Chengjin: "Do you have anything else to do?"
The double standards in attitude are obvious.
Wang Chengjin knew that this was an order to expel them. The boss’ patience had run out, and he was here to stop them from flirting.
This matter is difficult to be concluded in one go. It is good enough that Li Chengyuan is willing to see him. Maybe there is still hope later.
So he quickly left, not daring to be a light bulb for another second.
The box fell silent.
Li Chengyuan was just about to pinch the warm earlobe again, but Xia Xingchi suddenly "got off work" on his own initiative. Not only did he let go of his arm, he also moved to the side again and again.
Li Chengyuan: “.........”
Perhaps the man named Wang should be allowed to sit for a while longer.
"Dear boss, you must have a solution, right?"
Xia Xingchi's mind was filled with the huge debt that had fallen from the sky, and his big black eyes looked over expectantly.
Even if Li Chengyuan is really rich, it didn't fall from the sky. Spending money in vain will make the little money-grubber feel particularly distressed, no matter whose money it belongs to.
But it is certainly not an option to just sit there and wait for things to go wrong, as some obscene photos will be flying everywhere.
Xia Xingchi knew that the villain's power was not just money, but also something much bigger and harder to explain.
If he hadn't died early due to poor health, he could have rewritten the top and bottom roles in the original book into be, and it shouldn't be a waste of money to solve this problem.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan only replied expressionlessly and indifferently: "When asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help."
At first he did want to just solve this little problem, but then he changed his mind and came up with a better plan.
In addition to testing Xia Xingchi's reaction and identity, he was waiting for this moment.
"Hmm..." Xia Xingchi tilted his head. Even though what he said was true, how could he have the "attitude" to repay a big tycoon for a costly favor?
As he was thinking, he saw a cold, white, slender and beautiful hand clasping the menu in front of him and tapping it twice slowly.
Seeing this, Xia Xingchi slapped his head and said, "I understand. I'll treat you to a meal!"
"Well," Li Chengyuan nodded slightly, his expression calm and indifferent, "Sleep with me for another month."
"Okay, no problem...ah?!" Xia Xingchi was shocked.
He couldn't believe his ears for a moment. The possibility of dialect homophony flashed through his mind, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Unfortunately, that person not only had a deep and pleasant voice, but also had clear articulation and standard pronunciation. It was obviously the two words he heard.
"Li Chengyuan you——" Xia Xingchi was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to get angry, "What do you mean!"
We just had an argument about this yesterday, and he must be holding a grudge and seeking revenge by saying this now.
Or did he want to prove that his so-called "guts" were no match for the disaster announced by the government and the power of 15 million dollars?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He suddenly shouted like a submachine gun: "I said I don't sell my body! If they want to publish the photos, they can publish them! Even if my face is in the photo now——"
He stopped talking here, suddenly realizing that he had almost let something slip in his anger, and quickly kept silent.
Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the angry little hedgehog with its spines erected, but did not ask any further questions about this confusing sentence.
He simply asked, "Is sleeping in the same bed considered selling one's body?"
His anger had been half gone by the shock of his own slip of the tongue. Xia Xingchi was stunned for a moment, unable to determine the meaning of the words.
"What do you mean...do you really mean sleeping?" he asked hesitantly.
"Which one are you thinking about?" Li Chengyuan showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"I, I was thinking about that, too."
Xia Xingchi blushed, as if he had misunderstood and lost his temper. Guilt made him agree quickly: "Okay then."
Li Chengyuan lowered his head and took a sip of warm water to hide his triumphant smile.
This way, I don't have to go to his room to see him in the middle of the night, but I can see him at any time and even hold him in my arms.
Xia Xingchi added: "But I don't sleep well."
He always wants to hug something when he falls asleep. What if he accidentally hugs the villain as a pillow and wakes him up, and that villain gets mad and beats him up in the middle of the night?
He knew that Li Chengyuan had poor sleep. The book mentioned that when the condition was serious, he had to rely on sleeping pills every day to fall asleep.
Li Chengyuan didn't give him any time to question and made the final decision: "Bring the food to my room tonight - you order first."
Xia Xingchi's head was full of questions that he couldn't answer. He was confused and bewildered when he saw the menu being pushed in front of him.
The whole morning was filled with so many things that he had no time to think about anything else. Not only did he agree to the conditions that were like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth in a daze, but he was also blinded by all kinds of "sky-high prices" in the blink of an eye.
Since Li Chengyuan asked him to order, he had no choice but to look through the menu.
The more I flipped through the pages, the more I felt my hands shaking - even the cheapest ordinary grilled sausage fried rice cost more than three hundred yuan.
Xia Xingchi hesitated for a moment. Although this fried rice was relatively cheap, his fragile stomach could not tolerate greasy food.
Thinking of Li Chengyuan's look when he had stomachache, it turns out that we should not feed the fish randomly just to save money.
His eyes finally stopped on the seafood porridge that looked light and healthy, but he really couldn't understand why a bowl of porridge could cost a thousand yuan.
In the past, this would have been his food expenses for most of the year. The money-grubber felt more and more distressed the more he thought about it, so he had to look through the menu in confusion, hesitating whether to order or not.
Li Chengyuan seemed to be sitting next to him with a blank expression, but in fact, there was a smile in his eyes that was full of ill intentions. It was like revenge that he wanted to make this little bastard who only cared about money feel distressed while spending money on him like cutting his own flesh.
