Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.
Chapter 13 A Dead End
Chen Li hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he stopped by the old street and ordered some grilled skewers and a bowl of fried noodles.
Back at my place, as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a tall woman standing at the door, wearing a white nightgown, like an alluring white flower blooming in the dead of night.
"You're back."
Lu Xue took two steps forward, holding her phone, looking uneasy.
"What's wrong? Guo Fangming is knocking on the door again?"
Chen Li asked.
No, not at all.
She glanced down at her phone and said:
"He suddenly called, crying and saying strange things, saying he would never dare to bother me again, and begged me not to bury him in the concrete foundation of the construction site."
Zhang Sankui is indeed quick to act, but his methods are a bit cruel and domineering.
Chen Li scratched his head and comforted him:
"Maybe he's just joking, a prodigal son returning home. I've already talked to the gang leader, and they won't bother you anymore."
Lu Xue was so excited she didn't know what to do:
"Really? Thank you so much!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back once I've made some money!"
Chen Li took out his bank card and smiled:
"I'm stuck here. Their boss is very understanding and has already returned the money to me. It's just a small favor, no need to be polite."
What? It's just a small favor?
Lu Xue knew these people's ways all too well; how could she possibly spit out the meat she had already eaten?
Either Chen Li is lying, or he is stronger than those people.
Thinking back to Guo Fangming's last phone call, his voice was full of wailing and fear. Could it be that what he said was true?
Suddenly, I realized that Chen Li was not as simple as he seemed, and had even become mysterious.
Chen Li opened the door, turned around, and politely asked:
"Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
"Um."
Lu Xue nodded and went inside.
Chen Li was momentarily embarrassed and dumbfounded.
I was just being polite. It's so late, isn't it inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together?
Lu Xue glanced around the room again and said:
"I owe you such a great debt of gratitude that I have no way to repay you. Let me do what I can for you. If you trust me, give me the key and I'll clean and tidy up the house tomorrow."
Chen, having been eager for this, took out the key and handed it to her:
"Thank you for your help. By the way, what do you do for a living?"
Lu Xue took the key and replied:
"I was a dance student, and after graduation I switched to modeling. Sometimes I would volunteer at an orphanage, and that's how I met Xiao Ziyan."
"She was often bullied, so I had the idea of adopting her."
"But the orphanage's rule is that only married couples can adopt, so I agreed to marry my college classmate Guo Fangming."
"I never imagined he would be corrupted by society like this. Because of his drinking and gambling, he incurred high-interest debts, which dragged me down with him. I had to take Ziyan and hide from place to place, and I also lost my job."
Chen Li then asked:
"If you want to support Ziyan, you'll need a job. What are you planning to do? Maybe I can help."
A glint of longing flashed in Lu Xue's eyes, and she sighed:
"Models travel a lot, so I don't have time to take care of her. I want to become a dance teacher, and once I have enough savings, I'll open a dance studio. That was my dream when I went to university."
"Then open a dance studio and realize your dream."
Chen Li encouraged him.
"It's not that simple. We need to do research, preparation, and money for everything. Where are we going to get the money? We have to take it one step at a time."
Lu Xue stomped her foot, amused by his words. She wished it were as easy as he made it out to be.
Chen Li handed her the card:
"Is 400,000 enough? Consider it an investment."
Making money is so easy for him now; this small amount of money is no problem for him at all, and he simply treats it as an angel investment.
"what……"
Lu Xue was taken aback by his directness and generosity. After a moment of surprise, she shook her head and said:
"If I lose money, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back. I still want to finish it through my own efforts. It's so late, you should go to sleep early. I have to take Ziyan to school tomorrow."
Without waiting for Chen Li to come home, she opened the door and walked out.
She was afraid that Chen Li would ask to sleep with her like other men.
If I agree, it would make me seem cheap and worthless for money.
If I disagree, it feels like I'm missing out on something.
In short, she was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to resolve the situation, so she could only avoid it.
Chen Li shook his head helplessly. In this society, there are too few girls like her who are kind and have a strong sense of responsibility.
Try to talk to her again when you have time. If she still insists on her own ideas, then respect her choice.
After rinsing, Chen Li sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate and regulate his breathing. With each passing day, the deadline for the Laba Festival would be one day closer, and he needed to find a woman of pure yin as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, in the large, single-level apartments in the bustling city center.
Yuan Tao, who had been kicked hard during the day, was lying on the sofa, and Guo Cailin was massaging him to improve blood circulation.
Yuan Tao muttered to himself:
"We sent people to spend money to inquire in the prison, but we didn't find anything about Chen Li's career. The only person he spent the most time with was the old pickpocket who shared prison food with him."
Guo Cailin asked:
"Is that old man incredibly skilled, teaching him all sorts of abilities?"
Yuan Tao scoffed:
"What kind of ability can an old thief have? He was released from prison a day later than Chen Li, and we couldn't find him. Otherwise, we could have used him to agree to the situation."
Guo Cailin gently rubbed her fingertips together, seemingly lost in thought:
"Did he somehow manage to open up his Ren and Du meridians and become a martial arts master?"
Yuan Tao snorted coldly:
"You've watched too many movies. Did you suddenly unlock your full potential after just five years in jail?"
"If that were the case, wealthy young masters and powerful nobles would be in jail long ago, not criminals and ordinary people."
"He must have some secret. No matter what, I'm going to kill him. Go see my godfather tomorrow and listen to his tone first."
Upon hearing the words "godfather," Guo Cailin's hands trembled uncontrollably. This old pervert's shady ways had left her traumatized. She whispered a word of advice:
"Honey, your business is pretty big now, and it's all legitimate business. The heroin business your godfather gave you is profitable, but the risks are just too high..."
Yuan Tao was furious:
"What do you, a woman, know!"
"My godfather has taken care of all the connections; with him protecting us, what risks could there be?"
"Once I get my godfather's introduction and join the Juxian Chamber of Commerce, I'll leave these things to my subordinates. At that time, you'll be a glamorous socialite in Yuncheng."
Hearing about the glamorous and wealthy woman, Guo Cailin was tempted. The torment she endured from that old pervert wasn't in vain. She said gently:
"Alright, I'll visit my godfather tomorrow and ask him to deal with Chen Li."
Yuan Tao held her in his arms and said tenderly:
"Chailin, you are my good wife. When I become successful, I will definitely let you enjoy the life of a socialite and wealthy wife."
