"You came to negotiate with me, so tell me your name," Ye Fei said.
Yao Yao frowned and replied irritably, "Don't play dumb. If you don't know who I am, how do you know what happened between us? A grown man should be straightforward."
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Please introduce yourself first," Ye Fei said with a smile.
Seeing Ye Fei's expression, Yao Yao's anger dissipated. She said, "My name is Wang Luyao. Is that enough, or do you want to ask anything else?"
"No need, I'm not interested in you," Ye Fei said.
Wang Luyao rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Can we start the negotiation now?"
"Go ahead!" Ye Fei gestured.
"Mr. Zhang, tell me, how much money do you want? Only by spending money can we make this thing never happened," Wang Luyao said.
Ye Fei burst into laughter and didn't answer directly. It seemed that this woman misunderstood him, thinking he was a private detective trying to use this incident to threaten him. That explained why she was so unfriendly when he asked for her name earlier.
"Miss Wang, there's actually something I'm curious about. Both of you are beautiful women, so why did you do such a thing?" Ye Fei said.
Wang Luyao stared at Ye Fei fiercely. He had pretended to know nothing before, but now he revealed his true intentions.
"That's none of your business. Just tell me what to do," Wang Luyao said.
"Oh, really?" Ye Fei smiled, seemingly disdainful of her words. In fact, he wanted to torment Wang Luyao in this way because her experience was so similar to Wang Yue's. He hoped to vent his resentment by tormenting her.
"That's it, give me your price," Wang Luyao finally resigned.
"Tens of thousands? Are you kidding me?" Ye Fei's tone was full of mockery. "Do I need those tens of thousands? You should find a beggar. Double the amount, don't tell me your price as a mistress is only a few million, that's too cheap!"
Now, Ye Fei just wanted to tease this woman. She always acted so high and mighty, which annoyed him. At the same time, he wanted to vent his resentment by tormenting Wang Luyao.
"You, you've gone too far!" Wang Luyao stood up angrily.
"Gone too far? I don't think so. If your benefactor knew you were doing such things behind his back, what would he do? If he gets angry, do you think he will take Xin Xin away too? As a woman who cheats, what do you think he will do? If I were him, I would make Xin Xin die a miserable death just to vent my anger," Ye Fei's voice thundered loudly.
Wang Luyao's face turned pale and weak, unable to stand anymore, she fell onto the sofa.
"If you haven't vented enough, you can find a few people to take turns with her. She's so beautiful, there must be many people who like her. Tell me, what's more important, money or your girlfriend's safety?" Ye Fei continued to threaten.
Wang Luyao was unable to speak, and even began to plead.
"Alright, stop it. Get out of here, and don't bother me again. Remember what I said," Ye Fei said.
Ye Fei was not a despicable person; he still had a long-suppressed conscience. He needed money to start a business, not to extort it. Furthermore, Wang Luyao's secret was something he had stumbled upon by chance. He had already been despicable enough in peeping, and he shouldn't use this secret to threaten others.
Wang Luyao looked at Ye Fei in confusion. She had already surrendered just now, but she didn't expect Ye Fei to let her leave so easily.
"You're not leaving yet!" Ye Fei angrily shouted.
Confused, Wang Luyao hurriedly fled from Ye Fei's house.
As she walked through the door, she realized that besides being taught and threatened by Ye Fei, she had not achieved any other purpose for coming here today. Ye Fei hadn't even promised to keep her secret. Thinking of this, she felt incredibly lost.
But the way Ye Fei had been furious just now made Wang Luyao somewhat afraid. She didn't dare to go back to find Ye Fei for the time being, so she left dejectedly.
The room returned to tranquility, and Ye Fei smoked a few cigarettes as his emotions gradually calmed down. After Wang Yue left, this was the first time he had lost control of his emotions. He didn't understand why these women didn't know how to cherish themselves. Ye Fei didn't discriminate against homosexuals; this involved sexual orientation, which others had no right to interfere with. But he felt angry towards Wang Luyao and Wang Yue. They were obviously beautiful and could have found good husbands, had a pure love, and lived a simple and happy life. But they didn't do that! They insisted on becoming someone else's mistress, being the third party or even worse. Was money so important that it could make these women lose all self-respect, or were all women inherently like this?
"Boss, are you okay?" Pan Hui cautiously walked out.
She didn't hear the content of the conversation between the two, but she did hear Ye Fei's words when he drove away Wang Luyao. Ye Fei's fierce voice made Pan Hui somewhat afraid. She even regretted coming here to be a nanny.
"I... I'm fine. Go tidy up the room, I'll rest in my room for a while," Ye Fei said, rubbing his temples.
Pan Hui cautiously asked, "Boss, can you pay me some wages first?"
Frowning at her, Ye Fei thought she was asking for money before even starting work. Had he hired a swindler?
"The kitchen supplies are incomplete, there's no oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. We need to prepare some, otherwise we won't be able to cook. The fridge is almost empty, and we need to buy some things. If we're going to have dinner at home tonight, I'll need to buy groceries," Pan Hui said slowly.
"Alright, I got it. Here's two thousand yuan, take it first, and if it's not enough, come find me again. Remember to buy groceries at the supermarket, where everything is clearly priced!" Ye Fei said.
"Got it, I'll report expenses every day," Pan Hui replied.
"As for your wages, they'll be settled at the end of each month. If you need money, you can borrow from me first and write an IOU. I'll buy a phone for you online, and it won't be deducted from your wages," Ye Fei said.
Pan Hui was delighted inside; money was exactly what she needed most right now. It had been inconvenient for her with tight funds recently. Being a nanny was her choice out of helplessness, but with money in hand, she could rewrite her resume and find another job.
After giving instructions, Ye Fei returned to his room; he really needed to calm down for a while.
Seeing Ye Fei close the door, Pan Hui breathed a sigh of relief and began to tidy up the room. An hour later, she had cleaned the room spotlessly, sorted out the clothes Ye Fei had changed out of, put the ones that could be washed into the washing machine, and prepared the ones that needed dry cleaning to be taken to the laundry. After finishing everything, she walked to Ye Fei's door and knocked, "Boss, I'm going to buy groceries and also take your clothes to the cleaners."
Weary, Ye Fei opened the bedroom door and handed a key to Pan Hui, saying, "This is the key to the door, take it."
After speaking, he closed the door again and sat back in front of the computer.
Ye Fei searched online for a large amount of information about jadeite gambling and antiques, especially about cases where newcomers were deceived in these two industries. This investigation opened his eyes.
Jadeite gambling was not too bad; newcomers often lost money due to greed, and people with special abilities didn't need to worry too much.
But the scams in the antique industry left Ye Fei feeling ashamed. Not only newcomers, even veterans often lost their entire fortune, let alone the tuition fees for newcomers.
As for Meng Fei's so-called cooperation plan, through data analysis, he had already figured out what the other party's trap was all about!
