"By the way, what happened to that big sister in the mask you mentioned before?"
Seeing that Gong Nanyan was not here, Mu An casually asked.
That was a brand new female lead, a brand new gold mine; he couldn't let it slip away easily!
"Are you talking about Sister Gong? Sister Gong said she had to go back to tidy up her stall, so she left first!"
Chu Youmeng sat in the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, her body twisting a bit uncomfortably.
Although it wasn't her first time sitting in such a car, she still felt an inexplicable discomfort.
It wasn't that the seat was uncomfortable; on the contrary, the luxury car's seat felt quite nice.
Better than the best sofa at her home!
However.
She now felt like a country bumpkin who had just been pulled out of a mountain and accidentally encountered the prosperous skyscrapers.
That deep-seated feeling of unease and inferiority was something she couldn't avoid in a short time!
What Mu An needed to do was to help her gradually get used to this luxurious feeling.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality.
As long as he firmly grasped this aspect, then the poor protagonist Bai Zihao, who had been suppressed by him, would basically have no chance to take this female lead away!
Soon, the two arrived at the community.
Chu Youmeng was about to get out of the car but found that she couldn't open the door no matter what.
She looked at Mu An in confusion, feeling a bit at a loss.
Mu An, on the other hand, looked at her with a hint of amusement.
"It seems you've forgotten something important, like, say, the fare for the ride?"
"And I remember telling you that you can't take on part-time jobs anymore!"
"It looks like if I don't give you a deep lesson, you really think everything I say is a lie!"
Chu Youmeng was afraid the man would get angry, so she quickly explained in a low voice.
"Please don't be angry, I was just going to help, not to take a part-time job..."
"What about the fare? Just to be clear, I don't want any money!"
After thinking for a moment, Mu An let go of the 'part-time job' issue.
"Fare... fare? You don't want money? Then..."
It seemed she thought of something inappropriate, and a hint of panic flashed in Chu Youmeng's beautiful eyes, her face burning like fire, and she kept rubbing it to cool down.
[But if I do it this way, isn't it... too bold?!]
For a moment, the girl was indecisive.
"Have you thought about how to pay for the fare?"
Mu An waited cheerfully for her 'answer.'
Is this making things difficult for her?
It definitely is!
If he doesn't make things a bit difficult for her, how can he earn emotional rewards?
"I... I've thought about it... but can you close your eyes for a moment... just for a bit..."
The girl asked softly.
Close my eyes? Just for a bit?
Mu An blinked, momentarily unable to understand.
However...
Just as he was puzzled, the girl quickly leaned in.
Smack—
After the act was done, Chu Youmeng, like a shy rabbit, quickly got out of the car.
Mu An wiped the moisture off his face.
That was close!
He almost got taken advantage of!
Fortunately, he turned his head in time; otherwise, it wouldn't have just been a kiss on the cheek!
Mainly, he really didn't expect his 'perfect tool girl lead' to be so unpredictable, which is why he didn't guard against it too much!
[Emotional fluctuation from the girl's shyness +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +5200]!]
[Emotional fluctuation from Chu Youmeng's shyness +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Entry-level Skill: Voice Imitation]!]
[Emotional fluctuation from the girl's complex feelings +28, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +100 million]!]
...
Alright!
Given how 'diligently' she was exploding rewards, Mu An decided to temporarily forgive this little girl!
On the way back, he hummed a little tune.
As he passed a park, Mu An casually glanced over.
Unexpectedly, he discovered a 'familiar face.'
...
Today, Gong Nanyan felt like she was having the worst luck.
She encountered trouble while setting up her stall and even ended up in the police station.
Tonight's business and income would definitely be affected.
What made her angriest was that her stall was ruthlessly confiscated by the urban management!
No matter how much she pleaded, it couldn't be returned!
After all, that was her means of making a living!
Without it, the loss would really be quite significant!
Moreover, on her way home, she accidentally stepped wrong and twisted her ankle!
Now she could only choose to endure the pain and slowly make her way home.
Life at home was already tight.
She really couldn't bear to spend money on a hospital visit or take a taxi home!
With so many difficulties piling up, it had only gotten worse over the past ten years!
All she could do was grit her teeth and silently bear it...
"Hello, you seem to be Youmeng's friend! Do you need help?"
Seeing such a flashy car parked beside her, Gong Nanyan took a second glance.
Once, when she was still the daughter of the Gong family, she was mostly driven around in such super expensive cars.
But now...
The people of the Gong family would rather see her, this unmarried pregnant woman who brought shame to the family, dead!
Her family was that cruel and heartless!
Their actions were so disappointing!
Gong Nanyan helplessly revealed a bitter smile.
She silently withdrew her gaze.
But suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came, and Gong Nanyan was surprised to look into the car window.
She saw Mu An's handsome face and sunny smile.
"You are that little Meng's... boyfriend?!"
Gong Nanyan was a bit surprised.
After all, she had a strong impression of this elegant young man who stood in front of her during a crisis but secretly 'took advantage' of her!
She just didn't expect that his family background seemed quite good.
Being able to afford such a car, he was probably at least a rich second generation from a prominent family!
[Emotional fluctuation from Gong Nanyan's surprise +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
"Sister Nanyan, did you twist your ankle? Where do you live? Let me give you a ride!"
Mu An had already gotten out of the car.
He seriously glanced at Gong Nanyan's ankle.
It was indeed swollen and red, somewhat ruining the beauty of her delicate foot.
"No need to trouble yourself, I can manage on my own... ah!"
Before Gong Nanyan could refuse a few more times, Mu An domineeringly picked her up in a princess carry.
Sometimes, using exaggerated actions is the quickest way to elicit emotional fluctuations from others!
One can only say that in this area, Mu An was still far ahead.
Gong Nanyan gasped and instinctively wanted to resist.
But the man's next words immediately made her obedient, as if he had precisely grasped her weakness.
"Sorry for the offense, Sister Nanyan! Since you're in such a hurry to get back, I guess someone at home is waiting for you!"
"Let me drive you back, don't keep your family waiting!"
Yes! It's already so late!
Her daughter, little Youbai, was still waiting for her at home!
If she saw that her mother hadn't returned for a long time, she would probably get anxious!
After all, little Meng's boyfriend was just being kind...
With that self-explanation, Gong Nanyan gradually stopped struggling.
Feeling the strong aura from the man beside her, she blushed unusually. Fortunately, she was still wearing a mask; otherwise, she might have felt even more embarrassed.
[Gong Nanyan felt a bit shy and embarrassed, emotional fluctuation +13, congratulations, you have received the reward [Endurance +1]!]
"Sister Nanyan, your weight is really light, it feels like I'm carrying a young girl!"
Mu An chuckled as he carefully placed her in the passenger seat.
His appropriate compliments and gentlemanly behavior didn't take advantage of the situation. He didn't believe that she could remain completely unperturbed inside!
"At such a young age, you already know how to flirt. What will happen when you get older? Be careful, or I might tell Xiaomeng about you one day!"
Gong Nanyan scoffed lightly, rolling her eyes and giving him an annoyed glare.
That natural charm of a young woman was something that a naive girl like Chu Youmeng could never learn.
This made her even more attractive to men!
And naturally, Gong Nanyan didn't feel angry at all.
After all, being complimented on her youth was something every beautiful woman would appreciate!
[From Gong Nanyan, happy emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +2 million]!]
"Sister Nanyan, your ankle looks quite serious. Why not go to the hospital for some treatment?"
Seeing her ankle that looked almost like a pig's trotter, Mu An couldn't help but express his concern.
"No need! I can just apply some medicine at home!"
Thinking about the expenses of going to the hospital, Gong Nanyan immediately refused without a second thought.
Her life was already tight, so she naturally wanted to save money wherever she could!
"How about this? I've learned a bit of massage techniques for injuries, and I happen to have some medicine that can promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. It's quite effective!"
"How about I try to massage your ankle, Sister Nanyan? It won't cost much!"
Mu An paused for a moment and then said so.
Based on his experience with the little girl Chu Youmeng, this was a perfect opportunity to earn emotional rewards!
Massage techniques for injuries? And it's free?
Gong Nanyan couldn't help but feel a bit tempted.
If she didn't go to the hospital for her sprained ankle, it would probably take a long time to heal on its own, and it might even leave a lasting issue.
Moreover, it would definitely affect her recent business outings!
If she could get better through a massage, she naturally wanted to give it a try.
But... didn't that mean her delicate foot would be touched by a man?
For a moment, Gong Nanyan was in a fierce internal struggle.
While she hesitated, Mu An had already taken the initiative.
He carefully removed her shoe and immediately saw the injured area.
Compared to her perfectly arched foot, the swollen area was particularly 'eye-catching'!
"Don't worry, it will heal quickly!"
Mu An comforted her softly.
"Skill proficiency increased [Master Level · Medical Skills]!"
"Congratulations, you have used one million proficiency points, and the skill has been upgraded to divine level!"
[You have completely mastered [Divine Level Skill · Medical Skills]!]
In an instant, Mu An felt enlightened.
Countless top-tier medical knowledge, both known and unknown in the medical field, surged into his mind and were learned in an instant.
When he looked down again, his gaze had changed.
After assessing the situation in more detail than before, each angle and subtle movement he made had its own effect.
Gently applying the medicine, the relevant acupoints were activated with special techniques.
Her delicate foot quickly warmed up in his hands, indicating that her blood circulation was being stimulated!
If all went well, she should feel a tingling sensation that was quite comfortable.
Originally, when her foot was suddenly touched by someone, Gong Nanyan's heart was tense.
But feeling the obvious effect, she was suddenly a bit surprised.
She stared blankly at the serious man, her thoughts in disarray.
It turned out he really wasn't lying and taking advantage of her.
He had also carried her to the passenger seat earlier.
He bravely stood in front of danger, remained calm in a crisis, and could resolve issues in an instant!
He was handsome and seemed to have good medical skills!
Suddenly, she felt a bit envious of Xiaomeng; if only she had met such a boy back then.
But unfortunately...
The past was too painful to recall, and a hint of sorrow appeared in Gong Nanyan's expression.
[After being treated for her sprained ankle, Gong Nanyan felt a bit shy, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
[Looking at you, Gong Nanyan felt a bit of unclear emotions, emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Mental Strength +1]!]
[Recalling some painful past events, Gong Nanyan felt a bit helpless and suffocated, emotional fluctuation +17, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +9 million]!]
....
Without asking too many questions, Mu An simply treated her and then stopped.
He knew when to advance and when to retreat, striking the right balance.
This is the self-cultivation of a villain!
On the way back, Gong Nanyan remained silent and very quiet.
[If you don't repay your debts, you'll be struck by lightning!]
[Pay back the money quickly, or we'll come to trouble you every day!]
[If you don't pay back today, we'll see you at the bottom of the river tomorrow!]
The dilapidated hallway was filled with large red letters, dripping with blood, horrifying and terrifying.
From the looks of it, it seemed to have been written not long ago.
"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door! Don't think we don't know you're home! You owe us so much money, hurry up and pay!"
"If you don't pay, don't blame us for coming to trouble you every day!"
A few men wearing baseball caps were banging on a door with paint buckets in hand, frantically knocking.
Gong Nanyan's expression changed.
Because the door they were banging on was not someone else's.
It was her own door!
And the person they were chasing for debt was her!
Now she wasn't worried about herself; instead, she was very concerned about her daughter!
Her daughter, Youbo, had congenital heart disease and couldn't be subjected to too much stress!
"Boss, look, it's that woman who owes money!"
One of the lackeys spotted Gong Nanyan and immediately shouted.
In an instant, a group of big men rushed down aggressively.
"Damn it, you stinky woman, hurry up and pay!"
"Pay up! Pay up!! Pay up!!!"
Gong Nanyan was a bit startled and instinctively took a step back.
Then she accidentally bumped into Mu An's chest.
Mu An patted her shoulder, signaling that he would handle the situation.
"Sister Nanyan, you go upstairs first! Leave this to me!"
Gong Nanyan felt as if she had taken a calming pill, instantly feeling at ease and no longer afraid.
She gratefully glanced at Mu An and then jogged upstairs.
Completely ignoring the slight discomfort in her ankle!
[Your actions gave Gong Nanyan a great sense of security, emotional gratitude +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [A Box of Top-Grade Silver Needles]!]
Seeing that those debt collectors wanted to stop him, Mu An directly shouted at them loudly.
"How much does she owe you? I'll pay it off for her! But first, you have to let her go home!"
"You little brat who hasn't even grown hair can help her pay off her debt? Who do you think you are…"
The boss was about to explode when a little brother beside him pulled him back and whispered,
"Boss, I've seen that sports car in a magazine. I think it's called 'Son of the Wind God,' and it's super expensive!"
The implication was clear.
The other party's identity was likely either rich or noble!
The boss was taken aback.
He focused his gaze, and sure enough, that car was indeed a high-end luxury supercar!
The other party's clothing was extravagant, making it seem simple, but it appeared to be all expensive brands!
"How much does she owe you?"
Mu An frowned slightly and asked again.
His words were concise, but his tone had grown a bit impatient.
"Fifteen… fifty thousand!"
The boss swallowed hard.
He had managed to get to this position, so he was certainly no fool.
He knew who could be bullied and who he couldn't afford to offend.
And this young man in front of him was clearly the latter.
"Only fifty thousand?"
Mu An raised an eyebrow and casually took out a stack of cash.
"Here's two hundred thousand!"
The boss was somewhat confused about what this meant, looking at Mu An with a nervous expression.
He felt that if they really got their hands on this money, it wouldn't be that simple!
Sure enough.
Mu An grinned.
"If you want to collect the debt, no problem. It's only right to pay back what you owe!"
"But your foul mouths just now made me quite unhappy!"
"So this extra fifty thousand will be your medical expenses!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
In an instant, all the red bills floated in the air, like falling red maple leaves.
And in the next moment, Mu An made his move.
With his god-level boxing skills, he controlled the force with intention.
He threw punches recklessly, each one landing solidly!
In the world of feel-good literature (feel-good literature refers to a genre of literature that is satisfying and often features wish fulfillment), should he still be reasonable?
Just go for it!
Not to mention, the background behind Mu An was his best shield!
In an instant, the old street echoed with piercing screams.
It sounded like the cries of villains being tortured inhumanely!
