Chapter 1214 - 144

1The relentless smashing of the car went on.

One had to admit that the workers were impressively efficient—a luxury Mercedes-Benz S worth a million yuan was quickly reduced to an unrecognizable wreck.

The underlings that Wang Lijun had brought with him were naturally from less affluent second-generation families; at most, they show off in front of ordinary folk. The thought of publicly vandalizing a luxury car had crossed their minds many times, but they never dared to do it.

What's more, the car they were smashing belonged to Qian Weijun of Longding Real Estate, a figure even more formidable than their fathers. How thrilling it was, so all of them looked rather excited, itching to give it a try.

"Those who want to play are welcome to do so," Xiao Ming suddenly said. "But one thing, safety must be the priority. Glass shards and metal can easily cause injury. Don't end up all bloodied and make a fool of yourself."

"Thank you, Ming!"

Several young men immediately rushed forward, and the workers naturally didn't dare refuse, quickly handing over their tools to them.

Wang Lijun felt embarrassed and cursed harshly, "Spineless."

Xiao Ming laughed out loud, slapped the grim-faced Qian Weijun on the back, and said, "Don't feel like the young master is bullying you. Your mistress's way of doing things is enough to show what sort of person you are on regular days.

It just so happens that your retribution this time came from me.

Of course, I'm not an unreasonable man. If you have the guts to believe me, short Dabang's stocks first thing tomorrow morning, and how much money you make will depend on your boldness."

Having said this, he no longer paid attention to the stunned Qian Weijun. He wrapped his arm around Jiang Xue, turned around, and opened the driver's door for her.

Wang Lijun followed him and asked, "Ming, about the situation here..."

Glancing at He Jianfeng not far away, Xiao Ming asked, "What does your father mean by this?"𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"My dad said that it's all my fault, and you can do whatever you want, Ming."

Xiao Ming shook his head, "It seems Uncle Wang still cares about brotherly affection. If it were all your fault, what could I possibly do? Stop being brothers with you?

Okay then! I have to give respect to Uncle's face. I heard these two months are the peak season for car sales, something about 'Golden September and Silver October.' Since we're already halfway through September, let's just make it a full 'Silver October' here."

Wang Lijun contemptuously spat towards He Jianfeng, "Damn it, my father's always meddling. Just closing the door for half a month, that's too lenient!

If it were up to me, I'd have smashed his store too."

"Elders are still elders after all, they live for face. We're still young; losing a bit of face is no big deal."

"Ming is Ming for a reason. No wonder Shen has changed so much now, I really need to learn from you."

Xiao Ming smiled and then said seriously, "Later I'll send you my father-in-law's address and phone number. Have someone properly handle the car procedures and deliver it there before five-thirty, can you do it?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Wang Lijun patted his chest and assured, "If I can't handle such a trivial matter, then I can't call you bro anymore."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Also, about shorting Dabang stock tomorrow, you can try your hand at it too, just remember to stop when it's profitable. The chance to make big money will come later; don't get too over your head."

Wang Lijun's face lit up with joy as he nodded vigorously, "Understood!"

After saying goodbye to Wang Lijun, Xiao Ming got in the car with Jiang Xue and left the 4S shop.

All the way home, Jiang Xue didn't speak, maintaining a serious expression, which made Xiao Ming uneasy, continually wondering if he had done something wrong.

It wasn't until they were back home and the door was closed that Jiang Xue finally took his hand, sat him down on the couch, and looked at him earnestly, "Honey, tell me the truth, what are you really doing now?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ming looked completely confused, "Just partnering with some people on a business, what else could it be?"

"What kind of business could make so many rich second generations respect you?"

"Because I can help them make money! Plus, don't look at Siyi's nonchalant demeanor all day; he's a top second-generation from Longyin. Jun and his gang all follow him.

Since he calls me bro, Jun and the others naturally wouldn't dare to step out of line."

"Alright, even if we can explain that, what about Qian Weijun?" Jiang Xue said with a serious expression, "Although I don't understand cars, I know that the one he drives is worth over a million, and he's definitely not just ordinarily rich.

Why would he smash his own car just because you told him to?"

"This..." Xiao Ming scratched his head, "It's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two. Xue'er, what is it you really want to ask? Just spit it out."

Jiang Xue pursed her lips, hesitating, "Are you... are you involved with the underworld?"

Xiao Ming was stunned, then he burst out laughing, clutching his stomach and collapsing onto the couch.

Jiang Xue was astonished, watching him laugh nonstop, and she became somewhat annoyed.

"What are you laughing at? Get up and talk properly... Ouch!"

She reached out to hit Xiao Ming but was suddenly grabbed and pulled over, unable to help but land on top of her husband.

After giving her a fierce kiss, Xiao Ming said with a laugh, "What should I do? My wife is so adorable, I want to keep you tied to my belt twenty-four hours a day from now on."

Jiang Xue was torn between laughter and tears, unable to break free from his arms, so she tried to put on a stern face, "I'm warning you, don't think about getting by with sweet talk again; just answer my question honestly."

Xiao Ming shook his head, "You should watch less of those messy movies in the future. Mingling with the underworld isn't as glamorous as it seems on screen.

In reality, those they can bully are only ordinary people. In the eyes of the truly rich, no matter how big a gangster is, he's not considered important.

Qian Weijun may not be extremely rich, but his net worth is also a few hundred million. Even if he doesn't dare to offend a major gangster lightly, he wouldn't be so oppressed that he can't lift his head.

Oh right, speaking of a gangster, I do know one, a pretty beautiful woman. Every time she sees me, she respectfully calls me 'sir'. I'll introduce you to her sometime."

"A beautiful woman?"

Jiang Xue's attention was immediately diverted, "How beautiful?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Ming weighed it mentally for a moment, then said, "She's roughly on the same level as Yang Hanqing, just slightly less attractive than Yu.

Of course, compared to you, she's not even on the same plane; there's no comparison."

Jiang Xue's mental alarms blared, but she feigned composure as she chided, "You're fooling me again. On the same level as Qing, that's definitely a great beauty!

I've always thought Qing is prettier than me, with her big chest and perky butt. Her figure is like a gourd, and most importantly, she has that special charm. If I were a man, I'd definitely be really taken with her."

Xiao Ming, who had lived through two lives, how could he possibly fall into such a simple trap? He curled his lips in disdain, "If you were a man, you'd definitely be a particularly shallow one.

To me, Yang Hanqing may have a good figure, but she is too voluptuous, overly seductive and lacking in liveliness.

But you are different, from head to toe, every strand of hair is flawless, leaving me at a loss for words. If I really have to describe it, the only words that come to mind are from the 'Ode to the Nymph of the Luo River.'"

Even though she knew her husband was sweet-talking her, Jiang Xue still couldn't resist wanting to hear it.

"Which words?"

"Gracefully slender yet curvaceous, proportionately tall and short. Shoulders carved delicately, waist bound as though by a sash."

Jiang Xue fell silent, resting quietly on Xiao Ming's chest, as the cozy living room filled with warmth.

Time passed, and just as Xiao Ming was secretly proud of his bamboozling skills, suddenly he felt a sharp pain at his waist.

His wife's hand had grabbed a chunk of flesh, and as she twisted it, she said hauntingly, "Overly seductive, lacking in liveliness, you've observed quite detailed, even summarizing in eight words, only half as many as mine."

Xiao Ming was caught off guard, and his mind flashed back to something he had read in a book, it described how primitive men upon finding an object of their desire would knock them out with a club and drag them back to their cave to enjoy.

Uncomplicated and remarkably efficient.

Oh, the good old days!
