Chapter 78: Hatred
My self-esteem has been hurt. I feel that no matter how well I do, my status seems to be fixed, locked in as a lackey or a pawn, and I can never reach that higher quality.
I also feel that I lack a certain quality, but I am unwilling to admit it, especially when a woman pointed it out so bluntly. It makes me very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
Malan said, "Don't take it to heart, I just speak like this, it's not pleasant."
I smiled and said, "It's nothing. Seriously, do you have any way to keep Seventh Master from taking action against us before we deal with Liu Qiang?"
Malan said, "It's hard. My dad is a hypocrite; I know him best. He loves money. Just look at who he partners with—Shouhou, Liu Qiang, all those guys are in the flesh trade. How good can they be? But if they can bring him money, he doesn't care about their character. He just puts on a good show, acting like a gangster. Cutting off someone's financial lifeline is like killing their parents. Do you think my dad can tolerate
I shook my head. This is something that Qian Guang and I have analyzed. We knew that Seventh Master would definitely intervene, so we planned to replace Liu Qiang. But now, if Liu Qiang finds someone else to help him, it's likely that Seventh Master will act against us before we can deal with Liu Qiang.
I said, "Malan, help me one more time."
I'm just getting started, I've got money, I've got status, I've got my shop, and I won't let anyone take me out at this point. I know that if Seventh Master decides to get rid of Qian Guang, no one can save him. No matter how much Seventh Master values Qian Guang, anyone who stands in his way is a dead man, and he won't hesitate to kill.
"Beg me?" Maran said.
I was a bit dry-mouthed, I held her hand and said, "Please..."
I feel a bit embarrassed. I've asked a woman more than once. I know that the only person who can give us time now is Ma Lan. We need time, we need time to take down Liu Qiang.
Malan exhaled a puff of smoke towards me and said, "Alright, I'll help you, which is also helping myself. We can only consider this a partnership. Everything is caused by money, so let's solve it with money. If you can divert my dad's attention during this time, making him see opportunities to make money in other businesses and surpass what he's currently doing, I guarantee my dad won't touch you. He'll even help you deal with Liu Qiang. My dad doesn't like being threatened
I chuckled and said, "Malan, you're really something. Is this why you brought me to Jade City?"You want to open a store, make a profit in a short time, and then attract your father's attention. If we can solve his financial problems, there will be no more threats from Liu Qiang. Naturally, Liu Qiang, who threatens Seventh Master, will not have a good ending.
"Right, let's see how you do it," Malan said with a smile.
I stroked my chin. Money and gambling stones, everything revolved around these two things. Malan said she wanted to help me, but in reality, she was just helping herself, using a better excuse. If I didn't help her, then Seventh Master would really take action, and we would definitely be crushed. Seventh Master had never taken action, but I knew his strength. With just one word from him, Liu Qiang, Shouhou, and Chen Xi would act, and there would definitely
I said, "Alright, it's a deal."
Malan raised his glass and said, "Alright, I bought an independent storefront on a floor in Yushi City for 15 million. I still have 15 million left. Tomorrow, Liu Qiang will gather people to pressure my dad. Let me tell you, if you don't agree to me tonight, I can guarantee that you and Qian Guang won't see the sun tomorrow."
After hearing this, I was terrified. I didn't expect things to be this urgent. Fortunately, Maran was there; otherwise, even if we had escaped, we would have been severely injured.
I looked at Malan and suddenly felt a strong desire to possess her completely. Only with her fully on my side would I feel secure. At least, when Qian Guang couldn't protect me anymore, there would still be Malan.
I held my glass, sat next to her, and said, "Do you feel anything today?"
My words made Maran's expression change slightly. She looked at me, as if she could see through my thoughts. She said, "You want to make a move on me? Let me guess, are you scared and looking for an escape route? Or are you just a pervert? I'm very curious, if your mysterious girlfriend knew you were fooling around with me, would she still be with you?"
Malan is really sharp; she can see through my thoughts. No one is a fool. I said, "Don't mention anyone irrelevant. That's my only request of you."
After saying that, I took a big gulp of alcohol. I told myself that what I did was just to get ahead, and it was all worth it. I didn't wrong Xuanling. If she was willing to wait for me, I would give her everything in the future. If she wasn't willing, I hadn't harmed her either. It was a good parting. I felt very thirsty, as if I was being burned by fire, very uncomfortable. Perhaps it hit a nerve, making me very unhappy
Unknowingly, my dry, chapped lips met with two moist lips, a cool and fragrant nectar, but it could only soothe my dry lips and not my parched tongue. I looked at Malan, who had initiated the kiss, but she not only failed to extinguish the fire but also made my dry tongue eagerly invade Malan's sweet spring.
After the dry tongue entwined with the moist tongue, they overlapped. Malan noticed my intrusion and tried to evade, but unfortunately, she couldn't escape the strength of my embrace...
The clever Malan knew there was no way out and wanted to use the strong response to push my dry tongue out of the country, but after all, she was a woman, always weak and frail, creating a tendency to hide everywhere.
I, taking advantage of the situation, rampaged around. In the end, after several struggles, Malan also ran out of strength, her body began to weaken, her hands tightly gripping my thin clothes for support, occasionally letting out faint pleas for mercy...
"Uh... okay... no..." Malan said, her words unclear.
I'm afraid that Malan will blame me for being too harsh and get angry with me, so I silently and tearfully parted ways.
"Malin, don't you want to give it another try? Maybe I can cure your illness!" I said.
"Zhao Fei, don't go too far. I asked you to come today to discuss serious matters. I don't want to talk about relationships with you. Once we accomplish something significant, we can take our time with that. Why do you have to be so impatient?" Ma Lan said through clenched teeth.
"Malin, I understand, it's just... never mind, let's eat..." I said sullenly.
"Zhao Fei, I know I was the one who seduced you first, but I really can't forget that terrifying scene. Please forgive me and let time gradually ease the pain. Come on, let's dance a little to lighten the mood, okay?" Malan said in a gentle tone.
"Alright, please!" I stood up and took her jade-like hand, and the waiter immediately moved the table for us.
I held Malan Bing's smooth, jade-like hand with one hand, while the other wrapped around her delicate waist. I gazed silently at her blushing face, and suddenly, she smiled and gently leaned into my embrace.
"Zhao Fei, what are you looking at..." Ma Lan whispered.
"Malin, you're very beautiful, actually you're also very charming, hmm... very fragrant..." I whispered gently in her ear.
"Uh, I'm a bit drunk..." Malan pressed her entire body against mine.
Malan pressed her body against mine, and I immediately wrapped my arms around her, moving to the rhythm of the music.
"Malin, I really want to kiss you, can I?" I said, looking at her blushing.
"Zhao Fei, stop thinking about it, okay? Don't make me angry..." Ma Lan lowered her face, as if avoiding my eyes.
I gave Ma Lan no chance to escape, immediately cupping her delicate face, bringing my lips to her luscious ones, and kissing her fiercely.
At this moment, I no longer hesitate.
Malin's body also began to soften; not only did she not avoid me, but she even secretly touched my back with her hand. I knew Malin had relaxed too. At this moment, how much she longed for a man's comfort.
Malan, as if waking from a dream, tried to shake off my attack.
I ignored Malan's protests and held her tightly in my arms. At that moment, she seemed very frightened, as if that place was a nightmare she could never forget.
"Zhao Fei... no... I'm scared..." When Malan noticed my hand movements, she immediately held my hand tightly.
"Malin... you always have to take this step, don't move, there are others here."I whispered in her ear.
"Zhao Fei... don't... act impulsively..." Upon hearing this, Ma Lan had no choice but to let go of my hand.
"Zhao Fei... let's not do this... I can't take it, let's go back! I'm sorry!" Ma Lan said.
I watched Malan's back, feeling very disappointed. This disappointment wasn't because I didn't get Malan, but because I felt that things were out of my control, which was a very powerless feeling. I also wanted to be in control of everything, rather than being led by others.
Back at her seat, Malan immediately took a sip of wine.
"Malin, it's my fault. I shouldn't have forced you. I'm sorry!" I said helplessly.
In front of women, regardless of whose fault it is, men must apologize first; otherwise, things will spiral into a deep abyss. This is the lesson I've learned from interacting with women.
"Zhao Fei, the problem isn't with you. I know you're doing this for my sake, but..." Ma Lan picked up her glass again.
"Malin, but what is it? I know you are... needed," I said, touching her hand.
I took a sip of alcohol myself to muster up courage; I knew the most crucial moment had arrived.
"But... I'm really scared. You have no idea what that night, Fat Pig Zhu, did to me. I'm begging you, don't make me think about it again, okay?" Malan said.
Malan's words made me feel a bit of hatred, hatred towards Fat Pig Zhu. What exactly did he do to Malan that made her unable to take that step forever? No, the fault doesn't lie with Fat Pig Zhu, it lies with me. If I were charming enough, then no matter what Fat Pig Zhu did to Malan, she would still fall in love with me.
