It had been a few minutes, but Yang Wei felt like crying inside.
The conversation they were supposed to have was a serious one yet Yan Meixu had been laughing nonstop at the realization of his alias.
"Haha, Yang Wei, oh, Yang Wei. I always thought you were a serious person, but who would have thought you would come up with such a naughty alias." Yan Meixu laughed as tears were visibly seen seeping out of the corner of her eyelid.
At the same time, Xiao Jiao was struggling to suppress her laughter since she was being influenced by Yan Meixu to laugh as well. However, she was more surprised by the fact that Yan Meixu was genuinely laughing for the first time.
Unlike her usual giggle and chuckle, Xiao Jiao had never seen Yan Meixu express her true feelings at all. She was always being masked by the fake giggle and chuckle she used to deal with others.
Thus, Xiao Jiao might have felt bad for Yang Wei, who was feeling downcast at the moment, but she had no intention of trying to stop Yan Meixu's action. Instead, she kept silent and walked toward a corner to avoid the glare from Yang Wei.
Another few minutes had passed by, and Yang Wei could no longer endure it.
"Yan Meixu, you've been laughing for a long time already. Shouldn't we move on and discuss what Jang Chinlong wanted to do by requesting information from your Flowery Abode?" Yang Wei asked in a slightly raised tone.
After hearing his slightly displeased tone, Yan Meixu finally stopped laughing as she waved her hand at Xiao Jiao.
Xiao Jiao was clever enough to know what she wanted and quickly handed her a piece of tissue to wipe her tears.
Yan Meixu wiped her tears gently before showing an apologetic look at Yang Wei.
"I'm sorry for losing my composure, but you can't blame me, Yang Wei. You are still so young but you managed to deceive an old schemer like Jang Chinlong into calling you his grandfather. How could I not laugh at this hilarious event?" She said calmly.
Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders. "Not my fault that his greed and calculative mind took over him. If he was a righteous man, then I would have been kicked out a long time ago."
Yan Meixu nodded her head.
Sometime later, she glanced over the document that Xiao Jiao had given her and as expected, Jang Chinlong was requesting full background information regarding Yang Wei.
In fact, Jang Chinlong was willing to give out a hefty amount of money for a full verification process.
"It seems like whatever you offer to Jang Chinlong has caused him to be extremely interested in your background." Yan Meixu giggled softly.
"Say… what item did you reveal to him to cause him to be so cautious that he repeatedly asked us to be as discreet as possible." She added.
Yang Wei didn't say anything but merely took a glance at Xiao Jiao who was standing in the corner. It's not that he didn't believe Yan Meixu's vouch that she was trustworthy, but the information he was about to reveal isn't something ordinary at all.
The fewer people that knew about it the better. He couldn't afford to risk this piece of information to spread. At least he would prefer it to be revealed at a later time since the pill would sooner or later be auctioned off and send off a huge commotion in the Central Zone.
"Yang Wei, we're all in this together, so you don't have to be overly cautious." Yan Meixu suddenly said as she echoed for Xiao Jiao to come over to the table and take a seat.
"I know you are still doubtful of Xiao Jiao, so I'm just going to tell you this once." Her expression turned serious as she stared at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei's eyes turned solemn when he realized she wasn't joking. He sat up straight and waited patiently for her to continue her words.
Yan Meixu took a deep breath as she patted Xiao Jiao's head lightly. Xiao Jiao was trembling slightly as she realized what Yan Meixu was about to say.
Her fingers started fidgeting around which caused Yang Wei to hold a perplexed expression.
A few seconds later, Yan Meixu opened her mouth and began speaking, "Xiao Jiao was someone I found in a brothel, Yang Wei."
Clank!
The moment she said that, Yang Wei accidentally dropped the teacup that he was holding.
He tilted his head slightly and saw Xiao Jiao holding an aggrieved expression. Instantly, he felt bad and stuttered, "I-I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hook on to your bad memories."
"What are you saying?" Yan Meixu smirked. "I merely said I found her in a brothel, but I didn't say she was being violated, Yang Wei. You are too negative to believe that."
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "T-Then why is she trembling like that?"
"Isn't it obvious? No woman would ever want others to know that they have been forced into a brothel and nearly had her body violated by vile scums." She snorted coldly.
"Xiao Jiao was from a poor family and was kidnapped by human traffickers. She was then sold to a high-end brothel considering her beauty and when she was about to be violated by a young master from a powerful clan, I intervened secretly and rescued her. After that, she has been working for me till this day."
Suddenly, realization struck Yang Wei's mind as he connected the dot together.
"T-The young master that tried to violate Xiao Jiao in the past wouldn't be… Yi Renshu, right?" He asked.
At the mention of Yi Renshu, Xiao Jiao's eyes glinted for a second as she clenched her fist tightly. Her reaction was enough to prove Yang Wei's prediction to be correct.
No wonder why Xiao Jiao is trustworthy enough to listen to their plan. For a young woman like her who was kidnapped and sold to a brothel. Then almost got herself deflowered by Yi Renshu. She would definitely hold a grudge and wished for revenge.
"I understand now, Yan Meixu." Yang Wei said calmly before staring at Xiao Jiao as he apologized. "I'm sorry for bringing up your past painful experience, Xiao Jiao. I hope you can forgive me."
Xiao Jiao shook her head.
"N-No worries, Sir Yang Wei. It's not really that painful considering how I was fortunate enough to meet Madam Yan and became her assistant."
Hearing that, Yang Wei no longer bothered staying on the topic as he proceeded to explain about the pill that he showed to Jang Chinlong and how he earned his support.
By the time he finished relaying the story, Yan Meixu was dumbfounded before showing a surprised expression at Yang Wei.
"My goodness, Yang Wei. Just how many more secrets are you hiding in you?" Yan Meixu teased as she licked her lips seductively. Her action was no different than those beautiful milf that wanted to prey on others.
Yang Wei swallowed some of his saliva nervously as he tried to suppress his body's reaction to such a seductive act.
'Calm yourself, Yang Wei. You're not a virgin anymore, so why the fuck are you getting horny for?' Yang Wei cursed himself silently to prevent Yan Meixu from detecting any abnormality.
Alas, it was a futile effort because Yan Meixu had long noticed his change of temperature.
"Naughty boy, are you lusting after this beauty now?" Now that she finally figured out what Yang Wei had done to earn Jang Chinlong's support, she was no longer serious.
Instead, she was teasing him as she stood up and walked toward him. Taking a seat next to him, Yan Meixu rubbed his thigh slightly.
"Say, naughty boy… Do you have any more of those pills that you showed to Jang Chinlong?" She asked.
Yang Wei smiled bitterly. Of course, she was after his pills the moment he revealed it. Why wouldn't she want a bite of the pill as well?
She was a businesswoman and someone who owned a large intelligence network. She would be a fake if she didn't understand the true value of the pill that Yang Wei currently holds.
Meanwhile, Yan Meixu continued to rub his thigh and slowly reached upward, approaching a dangerous zone that would cause Yang Wei to be in deep trouble.
Swiftly, he extended his hand and grabbed hold of her hand to prevent it from moving more upward to his crotch area.
"I-Isn't it just a pill? Why do you have to do such an action?" Yang Wei said in a helpless tone.
He couldn't understand why she would suddenly want to seduce him when she had just exposed her past interest in him was due to Fan Ping.
Yan Meixu pursed her lips. She didn't believe Yang Wei could resist her charm, so she decided to tease him further.
"Why are you holding my hand? Could it be that you want me to give you a hand job together?" She asked charmingly.
