Here we go again!
He can't live without spouting a few sarcastic remarks, can he?
Meng Jiuyi was no longer the novice who would blush at his flirting. Even though she harbored resentment towards him that could reach the heavens, her smile remained obsequious.
"Servant! Of course, a servant!"
Tan Yuchen remained silent.
"Am I not a loyal and good subordinate who is available 24/7 to solve my cousin's problems?"
Tan Yuchen chuckled and drawled, "You're always available, but I haven't seen you anywhere."
"That's because—"
"I'm hungry," he said succinctly.
Meng Jiuyi wanted to say what it had to do with him, but he didn't dare.
"Cousin, do you need me to order takeout for you?"
“The snacks you brought for Tan Ni when she was hospitalized last time are exactly what I was craving.”
He even had the audacity to order food, even though she wasn't his real servant.
"Dream on!"
"Send over 500,000. Whether you can come or not is up to you." After saying that, he hung up the phone and sent over an address.
By the time Meng Jiuyi realized what was happening, she was already in the kitchen pouring water and kneading dough.
The frosty glass of the oven vaguely reflected a speck of dust on the tip of her nose. Meng Jiuyi was furious and slammed the dough onto the cutting board.
Before, I did some thrilling and worthwhile things, but now I'm taking care of his every need, from eating and drinking to using the toilet.
As expected, one should never lower their standards. Last time it was telling jokes, this time it's cooking. Next time, should I just make her provide sexual services?
Despite cursing inwardly, Meng Jiuyi picked up the dough and continued kneading.
It's worth at least 500,000 yuan, and she actually needs his help with something.
After baking the pastries, it was already dark when I left with the food box.
Meng Jiuyi hadn't walked far when he saw Li Zhen standing under a streetlamp, moths frantically fluttering around her head.
"Jiuyi, thank you."
When Meng Jiuyi told Li Zhen to leave last night, she was worried that Li Zhen would have nowhere to go, so she gave her an address. Today, she didn't see her and thought that Li Zhen had gone into hiding.
Meng Jiuyi said expressionlessly, "You don't need to thank me. I did this not entirely because of you. I have some personal grudges with the Tan brothers."
No matter what your reasons are, I still owe you a thank you.
The light shone a deathly white on her face, and Meng Jiuyi realized that her complexion was actually quite bad without makeup.
She said, "Leave this city and hide if you can. Tan Yue is in the hospital right now and has no time to take care of you. Once he realizes what's happening, he will definitely take his anger out on you. I saved you once, but I will never do it again."
Meng Jiuyi left as soon as he finished speaking, turning away her eagerness to reminisce.
It took an hour to get to the address Tan Yuchen gave me by taxi, passing at least three or four job booths.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, the distant sea undulates, while up close, lush greenery stretches out. Behind a Roman-style fountain, the three-tiered villa unfolds irregularly, even though one has already witnessed his previous notorious dens of extravagance.
Meng Jiuyi was still wide-eyed with shock, but the shock was far from over. After entering the living room, the entire wall was a gentle and tranquil blue, with huge schools of fish swimming by.
Deep blue light swept across her unadorned face.
A man's nonchalant voice came from behind.
"Your former employer has been here before."
Meng Jiuyi turned his head and saw Tan Yuchen leaning lazily on the sofa, a cluster of blue flames leaping from the lighter at his fingertips. He tilted his head to light a cigarette, his thin eyelids drooping lazily.
"What do I have..." Meng Jiuyi didn't react.
"I don't remember. I asked you to leak the information. It was that tabloid reporter who wrote such a long article praising me."
He looked at her through the smoke, his eyes relaxed and unhurried. "It seems like you're standing right there?"
!!
Meng Jiuyi remembered, and immediately felt his mouth dry and his hands and feet sweating.
She approached him obsequiously, her smile equally fawning, "Cousin, you have such a good memory."
Tan Yuchen rested his chin on his hand and looked at her, "When everyone starts discussing whether you can get an erection or not, I think your memory will be just as good."
Every casual remark he made felt like a knife hanging over Meng Jiuyi's head, making him sweat profusely with anticipation.
She opened the food box, smiled, and quickly changed the subject.
"Let's forget about the past. All the snacks my cousin specifically asked for are here. I even made a couple more for you to try."
Tan Yuchen didn't rush to eat; he twitched his nose and glanced at her.
"It smells like mentholatum. Are you injured?"
Meng Jiuyi was surprised by his keen sense of smell and quickly sat down on the opposite side of the sofa.
"Minor injuries are nothing. Didn't you say I can scale walls and roofs? What's a few scrapes and bumps?"
Meng Jiuyi really didn't think it was a big deal. His knee was bruised and healed in two days. It wasn't like he hadn't suffered more serious injuries before.
She wanted to get over it quickly, but the other party wouldn't let her have her way.
Tan Yuchen scrutinized her. "You had so many ways to get rid of him, how did you end up getting yourself all injured?"
What a charade! Who was the one who used her as bait last time?
Meng Jiuyi looked up at him and smiled brightly, "That's because I know I have my cousin behind me. With you supporting me, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Tan Yuchen raised an eyebrow leisurely, picked up a piece of pastry, and popped it into his mouth.
Why isn't he responding?
Meng Jiuyi could only bite the bullet and continue, "Tan Yue is so vengeful, it's hard to guarantee that he won't hold you accountable this time, thinking that I was sent by you. What are your plans, cousin?"
Tan Yuchen laughed, "What countermeasures can I take? I'm just crippled and weak. If they attack, I'll just wait to die."
And what about her? What about her?
Last night, Meng Jiuyi was incredibly audacious and recklessly targeted Tan Yue without considering the consequences. She just wanted to use Tan Yuchen's name to stir up trouble, intending to make the two of them fight.
She's just a nobody; she can easily hide in some corner and nobody will remember her.
But what can we do now? Go abroad...?
Tan Yuchen slowly turned his gaze back to her and said in a leisurely manner.
"Oh, I almost forgot about my cousin."
A glint suddenly appeared in Meng Jiuyi's eyes.
"Although Tan Yue is ruthless, he is also a womanizer. He probably has a whole brothel outside."
He flicked his cigarette. "Your cousin has already made plans for you. When your cousin becomes his sixteenth concubine, I'll give you some extra dowry and two maids. That should settle things down."
