"Buy a gift? I haven't thought about buying anything. I'll just give them any random trinket."
"How can you just give it away like that? That's so perfunctory!" Ling Yuexue felt sorry for Jian Mujin.
"What? Do you actually want me to take a liking to her?"
"I, I didn't mean that. Ugh, never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Ling Yuexue stomped her feet, slipped on her slippers, went back to the bedroom, and then closed the door.
Long Tingwei smiled from outside the door. "Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'm going back now."
He mumbled an "Mmm" from inside, shook his head helplessly, then changed into a suit, took out his car keys, and went home.
Upon hearing Long Tingwei close the door, Ling Yuexue, seeing his Phantom threatening to explode from the window, immediately took out her phone.
"Hey, did you go into the Long family's place? Long Tingwei has gone back. Be careful not to get caught!"
Ling Yuexue was very satisfied after hanging up the phone.
Jian Mujin goes back to the Long family home to sleep every night. Although Long Tingwei also goes back to the Long family home, the two of them live far apart.
Even if you drive there, it will take five minutes. At this time, Jian Mujin has not gone home yet. She is still at the bar and will stay until one or two in the morning.
Long Tingwei entered his villa and happened to hear a rustling sound.
"Hey, do you know what? That woman with the scars on her neck and wrists is from our village. Do you know how she got those scars?"
Long Tingwei paused. Grandpa didn't say much about the scars on her neck and wrists, and he hadn't heard the woman mention them either. However, he wasn't in the mood to ask about them. Now that someone had brought them up, he was just a little curious.
"How did you do that?" someone asked.
"That young woman was badly behaved. She liked to spend money and seduce shady people. When she was in school, she was involved with loan sharks. When she couldn't pay back the money, she started selling herself. As a result, her family disowned her. Later, someone came to her door saying that she owed money and wanted to marry her. She refused, and then that person slashed her neck with a knife and severed her tendons."
"Oh dear, how disgusting! Don't you know she's still Long Tai... Oh dear, hearing you say that, I feel sorry for the young master too. How could the old man have found such a slut for him!"
"..."
The talking continued, and Long Tingwei did not stop them. He did not know much about Jian Mujin, but since she liked to hang out in those shady places, she was probably not as clean as she appeared on the surface.
Long Tingwei had already gained considerable influence, but he still felt that having this woman in the position of Mrs. Long was an insult to him. Xue'er was much better; she was so gentle and understanding, and that was the ideal Mrs. Long in his mind.
It seems I have to find a way to force that woman to divorce him, otherwise how much suffering will his Xue'er endure?
The next day, Long Tingwei didn't go to work early; he specifically asked someone to call Jian Mujin over.
"From today onwards, you don't need to work outside anymore!"
Long Tingwei said indifferently, his tall figure standing there, the morning sun's rays shining like a golden light on his resolute and handsome face, making him look like a god.
Jian Mujin stood outside feeling uncomfortable. "Ah, no, I'm quite busy. Hey, just tell me about this, or let me in to talk!"
Jian Mujin's eyes lit up as she looked at Long Tingwei's villa. The old man had so many good things, so Long Tingwei's villa must be just as nice.
Long Tingwei loathed her appearance, knowing that she was a morally corrupt woman at heart, and felt even more contempt for her.
"You have no right to enter my villa, get out!"
That cold and ruthless voice instantly made Jian Mujin lose all goodwill towards him. He's so handsome, but his personality is so unlikable. Humph, I'd rather go to your room!
"Fine, I'll get out! It's none of your business where I go!"
"You dare to step out of the Long family gate today, or you'll never come back!"
Jian Mujin stopped, not letting her come back. Where would she stay? Renting a place outside would cost money, and so would food. The only saving was the travel expenses.
After much deliberation, Jian Mujin realized that none of the accommodations on Renzi Street were as good as the servants' quarters at the Long family's place, so she had no choice but to take out her phone and call the owner to say that she wouldn't be going there today.
"What I mean is, we can't go to those shady places anymore! It's not just today!" Long Tingwei emphasized ruthlessly.
"That won't do! You don't give me any pocket money! I need to eat regularly!"
"You won't go hungry in the Long family!" Long Tingwei said and left. He glanced at his watch, feeling that he had wasted too much time talking to this woman, and he was very annoyed.
Jian Mujin wanted to say that she had always been eating instant noodles that she bought herself at the Long family home, and no one ever cooked for her!
But before he could finish speaking, Long Tingwei had already gotten into his car and left.
Sigh, tomorrow is my birthday. I'll go to my grandfather's place and try my luck, maybe find something valuable to bring over.
Before she knew it, her birthday arrived. Long Tingwei didn't go to the company today because the old man wanted to celebrate Jian Mujin's birthday.
But he didn't want to give the woman a ride. He just told her to go to the old man's place first, and he would go pick out a gift for her and then he would be there.
Jian Mujin was overjoyed and asked someone to tell him that they didn't need to buy the gift yet, and they would go out to buy it together later.
Long Tingwei gave a mocking smile. Together with him? So eager to declare his ownership of her? Dream on!
In fact, Jian Mujin didn't mean that at all. She wanted to take this opportunity to rip off Long Tingwei a lot of money, hoping he would buy her some valuable things so she could sell them for cash, as she was very short of money.
She went to the old man's place early in the morning and chattered away all morning. She's always been a chatterbox, and once she starts talking, she can't stop. However, she only talked about the fun things that happened around her, and the unhappy things were automatically filtered out in her mind.
She's such an optimist; otherwise, the scars on her body would have made her so ashamed that she couldn't go on living.
The old man couldn't stop smiling. That was the good thing about this girl; she was straightforward, liked to speak the truth, and dared to say anything. He didn't find it strange at all that she kept calling him "old man."
She was even unusually pleasant to listen to, and if you said something you didn't like, she'd argue back. After that, she'd go around looting valuables. The old man had met mostly well-behaved, obsequious people in his life; very few were as genuinely straightforward, simple, and unpretentious as her. She might even try to outsmart you with her little tricks.
The old man had this in mind, which is why he insisted that she marry Long Tingwei. Otherwise, just because she saved Long Tingwei's life when she was a child, he would have compensated her more money.
He believed that his grandson, Tingwei, also needed such a clean and spotless person in his life to act as a regulator in his life.
"What time is it? Where is Tingwei? Why isn't he here yet?"
