"Enough!", a man in his late fifties shouted.
It was their dad, Wei Tao.
He had been trying to contain his anger for a few days now because his company has gone bankrupt overnight.
He had just closed his company building this morning, but even with that, a lot of creditors are still chasing his *ss. They continuously called his cellphone, their house phone, and even his relatives.
The government even contacted him about 10 years' worth of taxes that were not properly reported. This also implicated Si Liwei's company because he entrusted that matter to him.
They filed his taxes every quarter, but they deliberately hid some accounts.
Someone tipped the government of this, and they are now investigating it.
If they really did find evidence, he will be charged with Tax Evasion. He will have to pay off the tax owed, the penalty, and he might also be sent to jail depending on the amount involved.
Wei Tao sighed and declared, "Both of you are grounded. Your cards will also be frozen until everything calms down. If any of you dares to leave the house until I say so, don't ever come back again!"
"But dad! This was all because of this stup*d wom---"
"I said enough! No more buts!", Wei Tao turned around and headed towards his study.
When the duo heard the door of the study close, Wei You was about to curse at Wei Lijuan once again, when the latter pushed him out of the room and slammed the door shut.
It was a relief that he had good reflexes as it almost hit his face. "F*ck!", he cried.
Inside the room, Wei Lijuan was pacing back and forth.
[F*ck, what do I do?]
[That b*tch should die! She should be r*ped by multiple men and tortured and then killed.]
Her eyes lit up when she thought of an idea.
She rummaged her messy bed for her phone. When she found it, she searched for a contact and then she pressed the dial button.
When the person on the other side answered, Wei Lijuan was delighted.
"Brother Pan…"
"Hnm?", he paused for a second to double-check the name of the caller on his phone screen. "Xiao Juan, is that you?"
"Yes, Brother Pan. How are you?", she asked in a coquettish voice.
Pan Bao was also delighted to hear the voice of the woman he ranked 1st on his list to conquer.
"Oh, I was having a bad day, but it's very good now that I've heard your voice. I have not seen you in a long time, when are we going to hang out again?", he asked.
Wei Lijuan knew that this man liked her a lot, but other than his skills in fighting, skills in bed, and a few connections, there's really nothing good about him.
She let out a sigh, making sure that the person on the other end of the line heard it.
"Is something wrong Xiao Juan? Did someone bully you? Tell brother, who is it? I will get revenge for you!", he declared in a domineering manner.
Wei Lijuan grinned but didn't let out any sound. Instead, she let out another huge sigh and then said, "Brother Pan, as much as I wanted to hang out with you, my dad grounded me for an indefinite time, so I am not able to leave the house. He's scared that I will make trouble outside."
"What? What's wrong with your dad? You're already an adult, how can he still prevent you from leaving your home?"
"Ah, are you not watching the news? There's a lot of big things that happened in the city the past few days."
"Oh, are you talking about the CEO Gu Feng of Gu Corporation? I've heard about that. Why?"
"Brother Pan, you have not realized yet?"
"Realize what? Just get to the point, I'm dumb to things like this."
"Do you still remember that woman that works for my cousin Si Liwei? The one you said who would be perfect as a dominatrix because she was cold, wears glasses, and ties her hair in a bun?"
"Ah, that principal woman, hahaha! What about her?"
"I'm not sure if you know her name, but she's called Yan Rumei… And, guess what? What's the name of the new stepdaughter of CEO Gu Feng?"
"Huh? How would I know? I don't pay attention to names. I only know CEO Gu Feng because he's a big shot. Hell! I don't even know the name of the current mayor! Hahahaha!"
[Gaaah, this f*cking imbecile!]
Wei Lijuan is fuming inside, but she tried her best to contain it and stop herself from scolding Pan Bao.
"Brother Pan… The new wife of CEO Gu Feng is called Lu Anqing, and her only daughter is called Yan Rumei. They both came from City H. I also saw Yan Rumei at Tianlong Hotel that day!"
It took Pan Bao a while to process the information Wei Lijuan gave him.
When he finally got it, he abruptly stood up from the sofa he's sitting in, "What? A-are you saying, she's a big shot now?"
"Yes. Yes, she is.", Wei Lijuan immediately confirmed.
"Damn! She's so f*cking lucky!"
"I know right? But, Brother Pan… Just imagine how lucky is the man she's going to marry in the future." Wei Lijuan giggled and continued, "But too bad, she's too ugly to even have a suitor."
Although she is badmouthing Yan Rumei right now, the information she wanted to tell Pan Bao was already told.
She is sure that this Brother Pan will try to pursue Yan Rumei by hook or by crook. Who wouldn't want a rich sugar mommy? Brother Pan will definitely not let this slip by.
Indeed, Wei Lijuan was right.
When Pan Bao heard her say about Yan Rumei marrying a man, he somehow imagined himself at the altar. Much more so when Wei Lijuan mocked her that she doesn't have a suitor because she's 'ugly' or unwanted. Pan Bao has already claimed her in his imagination.
He smirked and thought in a lustful and greedy way, [Although, she's a little short, that's okay. They're easy to control in bed. I also like to try to conquer a strict woman.]
-Eheerm-
Pan Bao broke the long silence and said, "She's not really that ugly, but she's just old-style and unapproachable. She seems pretty hardworking too. Xiao Juan, don't badmouth other people behind their backs."
When Wei Lijuan heard Brother Pan, who was head over heels for her before, immediately turned 180 degrees and started reprimanding her, she scoffed internally.
[Heh! Men…]
"I have to hang up now Xiao Juan, I still have some things I need to settle at the bar." Before Wei Lijuan could even respond back, Pan Bao already dropped the call. [I better take her fast before other men beat me to it.]
