Zhao An narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Li Mingying. She was voluptuous; even inside her bra, her breasts were almost spilling out, making her blouse bulge.
Her face was lightly made up, and a deep sorrow lingered on her fair complexion.
Fine crow's feet lined the corners of her eyes, deepening with her grief, giving her a pitiful appearance.
"Teacher is quite beautiful; no wonder he was attracted to her. But although that guy is lecherous, he wouldn't dare to do anything rash. Now that you've hit his car, it's probably not something that can be easily negotiated. He said 300,000 was for a private settlement. If you had given him 300,000 directly, things might not be so complicated."
"Ah!" Li Mingying felt a surge of shame and anger when Zhao An looked her over, but after hearing his analysis, her face turned pale with fright. "Then, what should we do?"
Zhao An waved his hand, took a sip of water, and said, "Don't worry, worrying won't help. I'm 90% confident…" "You're being watched."
"Cheng Kai may be a scoundrel, but he's backed by the Liutian Group. The higher-ups in that group are all lecherous and don't get along with me."
"I own a modeling and acting agency. This industry is rife with unspoken rules, and I've ordered them to avoid being subjected to them, so they hardly ever get commercial performances."
"I can guarantee that the teacher's information has already been sent over there, so today is a trap!"
"Ah! Then, what should we do?!"
Li Mingying was increasingly confused. She didn't know what to say, her head spinning.
She had seen news reports about actors being subjected to unspoken rules.
But they always seemed to fizzle out. She never expected to be targeted!
Zhao An sipped his mineral water, his eyes flickering. "The Liutian Group is incredibly powerful. To be honest, I won't provoke them unless absolutely necessary. Those people are all despicable bastards. If it were anyone else, I'd just watch the show. But since it's you, teacher, as your student, I can't just watch you walk into the lion's den."
"Waaah, it's my fault."
Li Mingying listened to Zhao An's words, feeling there was no chance left.
Offending someone meant they definitely wouldn't help her; why was she so unlucky?
"Teacher, now is not the time to cry.
If you agree to their demands, even your daughter might not escape their clutches. That's not good news.
Do you think you'll still have the ability to resist after being filmed having sex?
Or would you still disregard your reputation for your daughter?
I think it's very difficult. Either way, it's hard to handle, and the outcome won't be good."
Zhao An analyzed meticulously, but it was really just intimidation.
Li Mingying was just a school teacher, a music teacher at that; what skills could she possibly have?
Compared to Li Cui back then, she was just the same.
However, compared to Lin Cui, Li Mingying's situation was much better; she had a car and a house.
Although they were old and worn, at least they were still usable, and she had some dignity.
"Teacher, why don't you come to my dorm for a bit? I need to have a smoke and think about it. I'll make a call first to buy you some time; I'd better save face."
Zhao An extended an invitation, then took out his phone and made the call.
He had planned all of this, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
Besides, he wouldn't threaten Li Mingying; instead, he'd make her throw herself at him. Heh, he'd enjoy the feeling of using scheming to make a mature female teacher his devoted subject!
Bai Junlin and Lin Cui were discussing the issue, and only after a long while did they stretch their necks to avoid becoming too stiff.
"I'm going on maternity leave next month, so I'll be leaving things in your care then."
"I know, you've made all the plans. I'll just follow them."
Lin Cui said with a smile, glancing at Bai Junlin's large pregnant belly. She realized she was in the same boat as Bai Junlin—both had been defiled by Zhao An, both had gotten pregnant by him, both were pitiful women!
Bai Junlin nodded, trusting Lin Cui's abilities. "Have you been in contact with your son lately?"
Lin Cui shook her head. "I only sent him some money, nothing else. My husband doesn't like him, so I rarely contact him."
It wasn't that she didn't love her son, but she knew she couldn't interfere too much, otherwise she would beg her husband to find their son a good job, which would anger him.
Besides, she also had a daughter to take care of. She and her younger husband had a child together; taking care of her daughter was enough. She shouldn't think about anything else.
Bai Junlin nodded. "You did the right thing. I still have a lot to learn from you. By the way, where's your husband?"
"Him? He's probably talking to Li Mingying. He's never been honest. Li Mingying's probably in trouble."
Lin Cui's lips curled into a seductive smile.
You see, her little husband has been looking at the list of teachers at the school lately, plotting something.
Not just any woman can catch Zhao An's eye; he'll definitely find something interesting and easy to get.
So, those who aren't married, or whose husbands aren't teachers at the school, are in trouble!
Meanwhile, Li Mingying, half-asleep, followed Zhao An to the dormitory.
Upon entering, she saw many high-tech devices; the air conditioner was on, evacuating and changing the air.
Zhao An lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa, and poured Li Mingying a glass of water. "To be honest, I don't really want to mess with someone like that. There's not enough benefit for me, so I won't clash with him."
Li Mingying looked at Zhao An with a hint of fear in her eyes, not understanding why he said that. If that was the case, wasn't she being played?
Zhao An flicked his cigarette ash, a smile playing on his lips. "However, I have a connection with you, teacher, and we seem to have taken a liking to each other, so I don't mind helping you out of this predicament.
The power of capital is terrifying. To deal with capital, you can only fight it with capital. Isn't there a saying?
Only magic can defeat magic!"
Li Mingying suddenly wanted to laugh. That made a lot of sense. Zhao An's words eased her anxiety slightly.
"So, Zhao An, how do you plan to help me?"
"Have you heard that saying, teacher?" Zhao An smiled.
"What did you say?"
Li Mingying was puzzled; she had no idea what Zhao An was talking about.
"One should not covet a friend's wife."
Zhao An laughed heartily, his smile carrying a meaningful undertone!
