Chapter 530: Chapter 530

Zhang Yulan’s restless little hand gently kneaded and squeezed as she said with a slight pout, "If it weren’t for the fact that giving you money directly hurts your pride and you would never accept it, I’d rather you not bother starting a business at all. I could just give you a few hundred thousand every month, and you could just spend your days eating, drinking, and having fun."

Yang Fan, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, said, "Sister Yulan, please don’t. That eight hundred thousand you already gave me is pressure enough."

"Stop it right there, don’t you ever bring up that eight hundred thousand again, or else I’ll transfer money to you every month just to annoy you!" Zhang Yulan said. "It’s not like I’m short on cash. What I gave you, I gave freely. Why feel any pressure?"

"Sister, it’s not that simple," Yang Fan said earnestly.

"If you insist, I’ll just transfer three hundred thousand to you every month. If you send it back, I’ll just keep sending it over. I can even hire someone specifically to handle this. Let’s see what you’d do then," Zhang Yulan said with a raised eyebrow.

Yang Fan: ...

He suddenly felt that pride was perhaps a bit superfluous.

Three hundred thousand a month, ten thousand a day, without having to do anything—wasn’t that just bliss?

The biggest pie in the world of getting something for nothing had just fallen on his head, but his heart did not relish such gain. He knew he would feel uneasy, and no amount of money would make his life truly enjoyable.

Sticking to their guns, Yang Fan and Zhang Yulan were at an impasse, so Yang Fan simply sidestepped the issue, asking, "What did you do with those two guys in the end?"

"I recorded some evidence, extorted five million from that dog Chen Zhong, and slapped on a few additional conditions before I let them go. That’s about all I could do. You see, that money is what you earned for me. Why are you still nit-picking with me?" Zhang Yulan said with a laugh.

"Chen Zhong must be fuming this time around. He sent two guys to try and steal those phones back, but ended up losing more than they tried to steal. Anyway, you should be careful these days. That dog Chen Zhong is petty-minded and could hold a grudge. Who knows, he might send someone after you," she added.

Yang Fan shook his head, "What can he do to me? I’m not the only one who hikes around here, there are always people from out of town coming through. Even if I’m one of the more noticeable locals, what can he do without evidence?" Yang Fan said.

Zhang Yulan shook her head and said, "Just be careful anyway. Chen Zhong is a ruthless bastard and doesn’t play by the rules. If he really targets you, he won’t care about evidence."

Yang Fan nodded, "Okay, I’ll watch out."

"So, is this matter settled now?"

Zhang Yulan "hmm"ed and said, "For the time being, let’s just say it is. Oh, there’s another thing, I almost forgot. Those old phones of Chen Zhong’s that you have, when you have time, copy everything inside them onto a hard drive, better make a few copies just in case."

"Okay!"

Actually, without Zhang Yulan saying so, Yang Fan had already been doing this.

Inside each of Chen Zhong’s old phones, there was plenty of sensitive information implicating countless people.

Just one piece of the material being leaked was enough to force Chen Zhong out of his position, end his career, not to mention spend the second half of his life behind big iron gates.

In his free time, Yang Fan would browse through them, enjoying the ingenious methods of Chen Zhong and those women, while also organizing and making backups.

For Chen Zhong, this material was fatal, but in Yang Fan’s hands, it was a lifesaver.

Zhang Yulan currently had Chen Zhong by the reins, making him pay hush money to keep the peace, all because of that material.

"Let’s go inside," Zhang Yulan said, finally removing her right hand from around Yang Fan’s crotch and linking her arm with his.

In the courtyard, the sunlight was brilliant, and the flowers and plants were thriving.

Yang Fan hadn’t visited for a while, and the place had changed dramatically.

Zhang Yulan had divided the courtyard into several areas, including a spot for outdoor barbecuing and a sun-soaked pavilion for tea-tasting, while various flowers and plants were planted all around, with several paths paved in bluestone in the middle.

"I don’t think it’s been that long since I last came, but the yard has completely changed; I hardly recognize it," Yang Fan said.

Zhang Yulan huffed and rolled her eyes at Xiao Bai, "Not that long? It’s been quite a while, okay?"

"But the courtyard was indeed just recently finished. Does it look good now? I specifically spent some silver to hire a designer for this," she added.

Yang Fan looked around the courtyard and nodded, "It’s become so classy all of a sudden, matching the villa quite a bit."

"Was it too plain before? I’ve always found the old courtyard displeasing to the eye, but I couldn’t figure out what the problem was. Now I’ve finally found the crux of the issue," Zhang Yulan said.

While talking, the three of them settled down in the sunroom of the courtyard that was used for drinking tea.

Zhang Yulan, with an elegant and skilled posture, began cleaning the teaware and suddenly said to Xiao Liu with a smile, "Xiao Liu, do we also need a little treat to go with our tea?"

"It seems we don’t have any at home. I’ll go out and buy some," Xiao Liu said.

Zhang Yulan’s mouth suddenly revealed a mischievous smile, "What do you need to go outside for snacks when I think you are the best treat?"

"Me?" Xiao Liu was taken aback.

Zhang Yulan’s lips curled with a slight mischievous smile, gently nodding, "Look at this tea table, it’s big, right? It’s just right for a beauty like you to lie down on, isn’t that the best treat?"

Xiao Liu was at once amused and embarrassed, she bowed her head shyly, "Sister Yulan, you’re becoming more and more improper by the day. How can I... lie down? Aren’t you afraid I’ll put you two off your tea with my scent?"

"What would you smoke us out with? Do you have a strong odor?" Zhang Yulan chuckled.

"Although it’s not very strong, there should be some smell, well... probably," Xiao Liu said, not quite sure.

She hadn’t tasted her own saltiness, but subconsciously she suspected there might be some odor on her.

In such hot weather, armpits and other areas often sweat, and there may not be other smells, but there would certainly be a scent of sweat.

"Hurry up on there; a beauty paired with a tea table should be a perfect match. There is only fragrance on you, no other smells, so don’t doubt yourself. Believe me, I can’t be wrong," Zhang Yulan laughed.

Even though she was a very dazzling beauty, her smile was even more lecherous than Yang Fan’s by several degrees.

"But, but... it’s too embarrassing," Xiao Liu uttered shyly with a hint of embarrassment.

Zhang Yulan said as a matter of fact, "We’re supposed to do exactly what is embarrassing; that’s what makes it exciting. The whole point is to seek thrills. If you worry about shame, how can there be any excitement? Get on up."

Xiao Liu: ...

She had no choice but to look to Yang Fan for help.

To lie naked on the table was just uncomfortable to even think about.

"I want to see too," Yang Fan said with a faint smile.

Xiao Liu: ?
