Erlu, enraged, said, "Boss, you wrote it all down clearly in black and white: you want to divorce your wife and marry Sasha as your concubine."
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "Erlv, you were there and saw it clearly. Li Sha's father was chasing me with a stick. Tell me, how could I refuse his demands? If I didn't, given his temper, he definitely wouldn't let me off the hook. I was worried that I would upset him. If his blood pressure suddenly spiked and he had a stroke or a heart attack, tell me, who would take the responsibility?"
"Boss, you can't just think about marrying Li Sha, can you?"
"Erlv, I clearly wrote in the promise that I would only marry Li Sha if she became paralyzed. I ask you: if Li Sha really became paralyzed, would you still love her? Would you still marry her?"
Erlv hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Sasha shouldn't be paralyzed, right? Even if her tailbone is broken, she shouldn't be paralyzed. Besides, we just had an X-ray, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong with her tailbone. I think Sasha is probably just in pain from the fall, and she'll be fine after a day or two of rest."
"Erlv, what I mean is: if Li Sha really becomes paralyzed and spends her whole life in bed, would you still marry her? Please answer me directly."
Erlv argued, "Boss, you're asking me to answer a question that won't happen? Isn't that like having no oil or salt?"
Clearly, Erlv meant: If Lisha were really paralyzed, wouldn't I be a fool to marry her?
Ma Yunfei sighed; he felt a pang of sadness for Li Sha.
Chen Yuyan urged, "Honey, you should go back to the sales station. I'm a little worried about leaving the abbot there alone. Don't worry, I'll take care of Sasha here."
Ma Yunfei returned to the sales station.
The abbot asked anxiously, "Is that wretched woman alright?"
"The doctor took an X-ray of her, and there was nothing wrong with her bones. However, Li Sha insisted on staying in bed, saying that she couldn't move and needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days."
"Damn it, that bitch is a bastard. She's just trying to cheat you out of some money."
Ma Yunfei shook his head and said helplessly, "It's really bad luck for me to run into a woman like this."
The abbot said cautiously, "Boss, I think Li Sha is an improper woman. You should stay away from her."
"Hey! This little wench came to the sales station and wouldn't let me go. She even clung to me tightly. Tell me, can you blame me?"
The abbot sighed and said, "Boss, I've noticed you're quite popular with women. How come so many women like you? I'm much more peaceful; not a single woman bothers me."
Ma Yunfei quickly defended himself, saying, "Third brother, I won't fall in love with any other woman besides my wife Chen Yuyan. Besides, no other woman has fallen in love with me."
"Boss, I think Li Sha has fallen for you. Actually, she doesn't have any feelings for Er Lv. Also, Miss Xia from Jiu Fa Company in City A likes you too."
Ma Yunfei was startled and stammered, "Xia Tian and I are just business friends; there's no question of liking or disliking each other."
"Boss, I've actually noticed it for a long time. Miss Xia really likes you. Every time you come to Jiufa Company, Miss Xia is overjoyed, and her eyes are full of affection for you."
Ma Yunfei looked at the abbot with puzzlement, thinking to himself: This kid looks silly, but I didn't expect him to be so shrewd.
"Third brother, you've misunderstood. Miss Xia already has a boyfriend and they're getting married soon."
Ma Yunfei told this lie in order to dispel the abbot's suspicions about him.
Not long after, Erlv came running again.
He frowned and said, "Boss, do you think Sasha might become paralyzed?"
Ma Yunfei glanced at Erlv sideways and asked in return, "What do you think?"
"Boss, what will I do if Sasha becomes paralyzed?"
"Erlv, just do what you need to do."
"Boss, it's not that I'm blaming you, but... you should at least have some respect for the Buddha. Even if Sasha is pestering you, you can't just knock her to the ground."
Ma Yunfei said helplessly, "Erlv, I promised you that I would never speak a word to Li Sha again from now on. But she came and bothered me and even hugged me. If I didn't push her with my body and just let her hug me, do you think that's reasonable? If you saw this scene, you would definitely think that I was seducing Li Sha again."
Erlv sighed and said helplessly, "Boss, if we're talking about the root of the problem, it's all your fault."
What do you mean by that?
"Boss, blame yourself for turning over a new leaf and becoming a proper businessman. If you hadn't changed your ways and were still a gambler, Sasha wouldn't have fallen for you."
Ma Yunfei asked, both amused and exasperated, "Erlv, do you mean I shouldn't start over?"
Erlv sighed and said, "Anyway, I think your appearance has distracted Sasha from me."
“Erlv, clutch your chest and think it over: From the first moment I met Li Sha until now, I have never taken the initiative to contact Sha Sha, and I certainly have no designs on her.”
"Boss, actually, you still bear some responsibility. Putting aside everything else, last time, in order to get information about Sasha, you bought her a set of cosmetics and gave her some money. Although your original intention was to get information, you inadvertently made Sasha feel that you had fallen for her."
Ma Yunfei sighed and said helplessly, "Erlv, you're accusing me of something I shouldn't. Since that's what you think, I have nothing more to say."
The abbot, feeling indignant, said, "Erlu, Sasha has taken a liking to the boss because you're not good enough, which makes Sasha look down on you. I'm telling you, you should look for the reasons yourself, don't blame the counter for bad business."
Erlu glared at the abbot. He wanted to retort, but he was afraid of angering the abbot and getting a beating.
Erlv sighed and said, "Boss, give me some advice. What should I do in this situation?"
Ma Yunfei rolled his eyes and gave her some advice: "Erlv, I'm not trying to criticize you, but at this crucial time, you should be by Sasha's bedside, taking good care of her. Instead, you've come here to waste time. I really feel sorry for you."
After being enlightened by Ma Yunfei, Erlv suddenly realized what was going on. He stood up and said excitedly, "Boss, I'm such a fool. Now, I'll go to the clinic and ask Sister-in-law Yuyan to come back."
Erlv ran off excitedly.
A short while later, Chen Yuyan returned to the sales station.
Ma Yunfei asked, "Did Erlv go off to serve Li Sha?"
"Yes, Erlv went and insisted that I come back. He said he would stay in the ward 24 hours a day."
"Does Li Sha agree to let Erlv serve her?"
"Of course Li Sha was unwilling, but Er Lv knelt in front of the hospital bed and begged Li Sha, saying that he should fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend. When Li Sha saw that Er Lv was in tears, she finally agreed to let him take care of her."
