Hong Jiaxin forgot that she still had to lecture Luo Yang. After listening to him talk and seeing him go downstairs, she did not follow him.
Finally freed from Hong Jiaxin's entanglement, Luo Yang felt a load lifted off him.
Actually, Luo Yang was worried about finding out if Hong Zhong and his wife were in danger, as he didn't know how he'd explain it to Hong Jiaxin.
Without any news, Hong Jiaxin spent her days in anticipation.
Sometimes, seeing her lost in thought looking into the distance, Luo Yang felt pity for her.
He went down to the first floor and walked out the doorway.
Tang Guihua, An Yuying, and Qin Piao were chatting at the door.
"I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes," Luo Yang said with a smile.
He wanted to get away, but Tang Guihua blocked his path.
The topic of the hangover remedy had come up earlier, and Tang Guihua wanted to have a private chat with him.
Tang Guihua said softly, "Cowboy, you can't slip away that easily. We need to give you a good lesson. Otherwise, you always bully us."
Qin Piao chuckled and said, "Exactly. How should we teach Cowboy a lesson?"
The three beauties waved their little fists and surrounded Luo Yang, beating him up.
Of course, they were only hitting him lightly, not really putting much force into it.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Sister Guihua, Sister An, Sister Piao, please be gentle. You're going to break my bones."
Hearing his pleas, the three beauties laughed heartily.
Tang Guihua wanted to find an opportunity to talk business with Luo Yang, but it wasn't convenient with An Yuying around.
Concerning the shares, Tang Guihua wanted to own more, and it would be even better if she could get her brother a position in the company.
She worried that if An Yuying heard this, she would also clamor for shares, which would complicate matters.
"Cowboy, help me wash my car," Tang Guihua said with a smile.
"This noble task, I know someone who loves doing it."
While saying this, he shouted towards the second floor:
"Squad leader, Sister Guihua wants you to wash her car."
Hong Jiaxin stuck her head out of the window, threw a paper ball at Luo Yang, and cooed, "Luo Yang, I'll beat you up when I come down later."
Usually, she was alone in her room and would easily become distracted.
Luo Yang deliberately provoked her to shift her focus, so she wouldn't always worry about her parents.
"Squad leader, Sister Guihua specifically said she wants you, the car-washing expert, to wash her car. There's no one else for the job. Sister Guihua, the person I recommended won't let you down. I'll go buy a pack of cigarettes now."
With that, he made to leave.
Tang Guihua chuckled and said, "Jiaxin, I'll help you beat him up."
She then followed Luo Yang, pretending to hit him.
Luo Yang quickly walked a few steps ahead, and Tang Guihua couldn't catch up to him.
Seeing Tang Guihua persisting, Luo Yang had no choice but to circle around An Yuying.
Actually, Tang Guihua wanted to walk away with Luo Yang to then discuss the hangover remedy business.
Unexpectedly, Luo Yang didn't go to buy cigarettes, and she cooed indignantly, "Cowboy, always lying! You say you're going to buy cigarettes and then you don't!"
Actually, Luo Yang still had cigarettes. He chuckled and said, "Sister Guihua, there's no hurry to buy cigarettes. I can just pick some up along the way later."
At this point, Qin Piao chuckled and said, "Cowboy, since you have so much free time, help me clean up the second floor."
This idea received approval from An Yuying and Hong Jiaxin.
"Sister Piao, cleaning has never been my strength in life. I prefer the life where clothes come handed to me and food comes to my mouth," Luo Yang said with a smile.
"Oh, look at him. I can't stand listening to him anymore. Sisters, we won't let him off today unless we teach him a lesson. Let's drag him upstairs to clean."
The three beauties escorted Luo Yang into the house to clean the second floor.
Actually, the floor of the second level was relatively clean, as Hong Jiaxin did clean from time to time.
"Sister Guihua, Sister An, Sister Piao, let me go. I'm a manly man, how can I be involved in cleaning? I'm meant for bigger tasks." Luo Yang refused to take the broom.
"If you won't clean, then help me wash my car. Come on, let's go to the front of my house and wash the car," Tang Guihua said as she tried to drag Luo Yang along.
Faced with the choice between washing the car or cleaning the staircase, Luo Yang chose the latter.
"Then I'll sweep the floor."
He took the broom, made a few swipes, and called it done.
The three beauties couldn't stand watching and gave him another light beating before finally letting him go.
