Chapter 163 You're Not Allowed to Treat Uncle Zhang Like That (Please Subscribe)

After the victory celebration banquet ended.

Leah Winchester extended an invitation to Zhang Shuai'an to come to her home.

Zhang Shuai'an would naturally not refuse such a thing.

On the way there, Zhang Shuai'an learned some private information about Leah Winchester's family from her words.

During her two months of work, Leah Winchester rarely talked about her family situation with others, keeping her personal and professional life very separate.

Inviting Zhang Shuai'an over today is indeed a very unusual thing, especially since it's in the evening.

"I've been divorced for six or seven years and I'm raising my daughter alone."

Leah Winchester hadn't been drinking, but her face was flushed, and she kept talking while driving, as if afraid of an awkward silence.

Zhang Shuai'an casually asked, "How old is your daughter?"

"I'm eighteen years old. I usually stay at school and only come home on weekends."

When Leah Winchester spoke of her daughter, her tone became unusually gentle: "Her name is Maud, and she's a good girl."

Zhang Shuai'an recalled that today was Wednesday, which was indeed a good time.

He asked with a smile, "Haven't you thought about finding another husband after all these years?"

"I have thought about it," Leah Winchester said without hesitation. "I've had two or three boyfriends, but I later found out they were all unreliable. One of them was an alcoholic, and the other two were abusive; they not only beat me, but also my daughter."

Zhang Shuai'an said, "Then you've really had a tough time, it hasn't been easy for you."

"Actually, before I came to see you at Mr. Chen's invitation, I had not had a formal job for more than half a year."

Leah Winchester sighed, "Even the money my ex-husband gave me is almost gone. If I can't find a job soon, I'll have to remarry just any man."

Fortunately, that didn't happen, so I'm still very grateful to you for giving me this job.

Zhang Shuai'an smiled calmly: "It's all because of your ability. The crew has been able to operate so smoothly these past two months, and you deserve a lot of credit. I'll give you all a bonus when the movie is released."

"What's a red envelope?" Leah Winchester asked, pausing for a moment.

Zhang Shuai'an replied, "It's a Chinese custom to wrap money in red paper and give it to others on holidays as a blessing. Of course, you can also interpret it as a reward."

Leah Winchester couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Really? Then I'll thank you in advance, boss."

Looking at the surging white waves, Zhang Shuai'an marveled inwardly. This was truly an exaggeration, a gift from heaven. It would be a shame not to try and grasp it.

Leah Winchester naturally felt Zhang Shuai'an's burning gaze, and secretly felt a little smug.

Both harbored their own thoughts, yet their paths converged.

Leah Winchester's place is quite remote, and it's clear that her previous financial situation was rather poor; she was renting an apartment.

On her way back, neighbors greeted her from time to time.

"Hi, Lia, that's rare, you actually brought a man home."

One of the elderly women living downstairs said with a smile, "I told you long ago you deserved a better man, but you shouldn't deserve this one. This young Chinese man is tall and handsome, where did you meet him?"

Leah Winchester replied irritably, "Oh, Sally, don't joke around, he's my boss."

"Boss? You're so young and already a boss?"

The old woman looked surprised: "Lia, you've really turned your life around! Which wealthy Chinese family's heir have you hooked up with?"

Zhang Shuai'an said calmly, "Grandma, I'm not a second-generation rich kid, but a self-made man."

The old woman gave an awkward smile; he had assumed Zhang Shuai'an didn't understand English.

Liya didn't bother to explain further, went straight upstairs, unlocked the door with her key, and said to Zhang Shuai'an, "Boss, my place is too simple, I hope you won't mind."

"How could that be?" Zhang Shuai'an looked around and found that apart from the room being a bit small, everything else was impeccable.

The room was spotless, and the items were arranged very neatly, which showed that Lia had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and a slight germaphobia.

"Your salary for these two months should be enough to buy you a more upscale apartment."

Zhang Shuai'an said, "I feel that the security situation in this area is not very good."

"We're planning to move." Leah Winchester took off Zhang Shuai'an's coat and hung it on the rack by the door. "Boss, please have a seat for a while, I'll change my clothes."

Zhang Shuai'an sipped his coffee, looked around the room, and then noticed the photos on the cabinet next to him.

It appears to be a photo of a family of three, except the man has been cropped out, leaving only the mother and daughter.

Zhang Shuai'an picked up the photo frame and looked at it, discovering that her daughter was also exceptionally gifted, with an astonishingly large granary at such a young age.

"Leo, what do you think of this outfit?"

A gentle voice called from behind.

Zhang Shuai'an put down the photo frame, turned his head to look at it, and almost had a nosebleed.

Leah Winchester was wearing a set of purple lingerie, which clearly showed off her ample assets.

"Would you like some red wine?"

Leah Winchester, holding a bottle of red wine, bent down to get a wine glass from under the kitchen cabinet.

As she bent over, her curves became exquisite.

It's also because of her small waist and large hips that she got stuck.

"Leo, help me!" Leah Winchester immediately cried for help. "I think my upper body is stuck."

Seeing that she seemed to be stuck, Zhang Shuai'an couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he slowly walked forward, offered a hand, and then suddenly pulled.

Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.

Zhang Shuai'an pushed her body forward and then pulled her back.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, like pulling up vines from a tree, "Ah!"

Leah Winchester cried out in surprise, "Leo, be gentle, you're hurting me!"

"Is there no extra space under the kitchen cabinets?"

Zhang Shuai'an said, "You might as well move in a little bit more, and I'll use some force from behind to help you push it in a little. You can change your angle inside, which might make it easier."

"I'll try." Following Zhang Shuai'an's instructions, Leah Winchester slowly tried to squeeze in, but found it even more uncomfortable: "No, it's not working, I'm stuck even tighter."

Leah Winchester urged impatiently, "Then hurry up, I can't take it anymore."

Zhang Shuai'an immediately used the [Innate Divine Strength] buff, grabbed the two barriers, and with a sudden burst of strength, tore the barriers apart with a loud "bang".

Downstairs lived an elderly woman and her family; the younger ones had all gone out to work, leaving only the two elderly people.

"Sally, call the police!" The old man, who was somewhat immobile, heard the "cracking and popping" noises upstairs and Leah's suppressed and painful cries, and immediately shouted to the old woman.

"Why are you calling the police?" the old woman asked, running over with a bewildered look.

The old man pointed to the ceiling: "Didn't you hear? There's another fight upstairs. Liya is a good woman; we can't let her man beat her to death."

The ceiling was made of wood and creaked and rattled.

And the faint sound of Lia's cries could be heard coming down.

The old woman listened for a while, then blushed and slapped her husband: "Don't talk nonsense, Liya has found a new man."

That's a very energetic young man.

"Oh, then it's alright!" The old man came to his senses, but was still a little worried: "Won't our ceiling collapse because of them?"

"Bang!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud, explosive sound rang out from above.

"What's going on?" The old man's eyes widened. Could the ceiling really be cracked?

He looked up and thankfully, the ceiling was unharmed.

"Even though I haven't had a man for a while, she can't be this wild! I'll go talk to her about it!"

The old woman couldn't hold back any longer and was about to go upstairs to demand an explanation when she suddenly saw two figures go upstairs and then quietly retreat.

Zhang Shuai'an tore open the barrier and pulled out Lia Winchester.

"Your clothes are all dirty, take them off and I'll wash them for you." Leah Winchester immediately stepped forward and took off Zhang Shuai'an's clothes and pants.

Zhang Shuai'an showed off his muscular physique, which is very attractive to women.

"Boss, your figure is amazing—I wonder how many women you'd seduce."

Leah Winchester couldn't help but touch his chest muscles, then his abs, and then slowly down.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Shuai'an slapped Liya's ample buttocks. "Let's go to the room and explore each other properly?"

"Didn't you have enough fun just now?" Leah Winchester said teasingly, biting her lower lip.

Zhang Shuai'an pressed down on her fair neck, slowly saying, "Squat down."

Leah Winchester's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but she still understood and knelt down.

At this moment, the door lock turns.

"Mom, I'm back, and I brought a friend with me—hmm?"

The door was pushed open, and two figures walked in, staring in disbelief at a naked man with a great physique standing in the bedroom doorway.

Her mother was being held down by the neck by this man, squatting there, looking humiliated!

"You bastard, let go of my mommy!"

One of the girls, wearing a brown knit sweater, grabbed something and threw it at Zhang Shuai'an.

"Morde, stop!"

Liya stood up in a panic, blocking Zhang Shuai'an's path, and shouted, "You're not allowed to treat your Uncle Zhang like that!"

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
