Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Many Things Can’t Go As One Desires
"Thank you," Yusuf Zuck was driving, with Anna Cooke sitting in the passenger seat. Just now, in front of Elle Petty, Anna had brought up the matter of her whole family wanting to invite Yusuf to dinner.
To outsiders, this might seem like a trivial matter. Even Miles O’brien didn’t mind, but to Elle Petty, it was a big deal. The implications were numerous, and she needed to digest it properly and analyze it meticulously.
Yusuf was a perceptive man, so he also sensed the significance behind her words. That’s why after getting in the car, he expressed his gratitude.
With a smile in her eyes, Anna Cooke glanced at Yusuf, "I’m very curious, how did you manage to win over my sister Xiaoyun!"
"Cough, cough..." Yusuf started to cough awkwardly. He was thanking her, Anna Cooke, yet her mind had wandered off somewhere else.
"Also, don’t tell me you and Louise have nothing going on."
"Hmm, you’re playing coy with my sister Xiaoyun, and behind her back, you’re keeping Louise. Quite impressive!" Anna didn’t hold back her sarcasm.
Yusuf stayed silent and focused on driving, not looking at Anna.
"These are just the two I know about. Could there be other women too? They say men tend to go astray once they have money. You seem like a textbook example. But I must admit, I admire you!" Anna mused, "In just over two months since you arrived in the capital, you’ve made tens of millions, bought two villas, hired a bunch of thugs, opened an antique shop, driven a luxury car worth over a million, got the highly educated professional Miles, and a pretty police flower too."
"Your life is certainly colorful and tasteful."
"In two months, you’ve leapfrogged from grassroots to sitting on an equal footing with property developers, daring to fight the rich second-generation with bare fists. Pretty impressive."
"But I’m very curious, how did you make those millions? It can’t just be from flipping antiques, right?"
"Of course, I don’t mean to pry into your private life. A capable man will naturally have many women; if you weren’t, women wouldn’t follow you. Hence in this society, it’s normal for rich men to have multiple women. It would be unusual not to, so don’t mind me. My words can be a bit harsh."
"Hmm? Why aren’t you talking now?" Anna playfully said, batting her big eyes at Yusuf.
"Say what?" Yusuf smiled and replied.
Anna thought for a moment and said, "How about you tell me how you made your money? I asked you about other things, but you probably won’t tell!"
Yusuf answered, "It was luck, I guess. I found a few pieces of Jade Artifacts in Zhonghai, and after coming back to the capital, I sold them for tens of millions, all of a sudden turning into a nouveau riche."
"Oh, then you really did have good luck," Anna Cooke said with a smile and a nod.
"Yeah, I’ve been pretty lucky recently!"
"Hehe," Anna chuckled.
Yusuf too let out a laugh, but he didn’t continue the conversation, because he suddenly realized that this Anna Cooke was like a siren; she was too smart, as if she could see right through people.
"I’m starting to become curious about you," Anna said in a serious tone, turning her face towards Yusuf who was driving, "I’ve been studying psychology recently, and you fit the profile of whom I’m studying to a tee."
"Please, Miss Anna, don’t be curious about me!" Yusuf turned to look at her and said, "There’s nothing about me worth your study."
"Oh but there is, so much!" Anna Cooke shook her head, "An outsider, who in two months made tens of millions, nurtured a gang of enforcers, kept two women, acted arrogantly and brashly without considering the consequences, yet dealt with matters in a smooth, seasoned manner. You’re bad yet you act nobly to save others. You’re good, but you seem pretty bad, which exactly fits the profile of my study subject."
"Why study me instead of antiques? Besides, I don’t have time for your studies. Your school is Peking University, right? It’s just ahead," Yusuf didn’t want to stay with this girl. Although this beauty was feast for the eyes, being with her made Yusuf feel uneasy—it was a strange feeling.
She was very pretty, but Yusuf had no interest in her whatsoever.
"You got here so quickly? I haven’t had enough time to chat with you. How about you buy me dinner tonight?" Anna Cooke said with a laugh.
"I still need to go to Garden Road to see your sister Xiaoyun!" Yusuf Zuck flatly refused.
"Oh, then forget it, but I feel like you seem a bit afraid of me," Anna Cooke said curiously.
"Yeah, I’m afraid of you," Yusuf Zuck nodded seriously.
"Why?" Anna Cooke asked, puzzled.
"We’ve arrived, so get out of the car!" Yusuf Zuck parked at the north gate and said to Anna Cooke.
Anna Cooke shook her head, "Our conversation isn’t finished yet. Tell me why."
Yusuf Zuck tilted his head, "Do you really want to hear it?"
"I want to hear it," Anna Cooke immediately nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Yusuf Zuck said, "You see, I’m not much to look at, and there are some minor problems with my personal lifestyle, but my mentality is conservative. How should I put it, I believe there can only be two kinds of relationships between a man and a woman, one is as spouses, the other as lovers."
"Hmm, I’m a bit confused, could you explain that in detail?" Anna Cooke furrowed her brows.
Yusuf Zuck shrugged his shoulders, "My point is very clear, I only make friends with males, and in my dictionary, there is no such thing as a true female friend. If I want to get close to a certain woman, then I definitely have impure intentions towards her."
"Of course, many men completely disguise these impure intentions, but in their hearts, they also fantasize about the day they can strip away that guise. As for me, I usually don’t pretend. If I made a female friend, then my ultimate goal would be to sleep with her! So that’s why I’m afraid of you, you should understand now, right?"
"So what you’re saying is you just don’t want to sleep with me?" Anna Cooke said earnestly.
"Bingo!" Yusuf Zuck snapped his fingers.
"I don’t believe it. I don’t believe you don’t have any other female friends whom you don’t sleep with!" Anna Cooke shook her head.
Yusuf Zuck chuckled, "This topic ends here, you should get out now!" Yusuf Zuck shook his head; indeed, he had a few female friends he didn’t sleep with, like Mia, like Ainsley McCann, like the little nurse Paisley Kirk!
Of course, his earlier words also had the intention of scaring Anna Cooke, to make it clear to her that she should stay away from him! Because he was not a good man, and getting close to her might lead to impure intentions.
"Giggle, I’ve discovered that you are indeed very bad!" Anna Cooke suddenly laughed out loud, her laughter blooming like flowers.
"Are you trying to scare me away? You miscalculated. Maybe others would be scared off by your words and keep their distance, but I won’t," Anna Cooke said as she opened the door to get out of the car, and added thoughtfully, "Next Friday after school, I’ll call you, and you can come pick me up."
With a slam, the car door closed. Anna Cooke waved at Yusuf Zuck and turned to enter the school.
Yusuf Zuck massaged his face. Even that hadn’t scared her off? Did she still think he didn’t dare to do anything to her?
"I was telling the truth," Yusuf Zuck murmured to himself. Most of what he had said was true; whether it was Ainsley McCann, Mia, or the little nurse, he had thought about sleeping with them, because that is a fundamental desire of all men.
Of course, while some can’t control their emotions and desires, others can bury them forever in their hearts.
This is the complex psychology of human nature. Due to legal, moral, and various other factors, no one in the world can do whatever they want.
Desire cannot follow the heart! Otherwise, society and the world would have fallen into chaos long ago.
