"Not for us? Then for whom?" Peach Blossom felt a little uncomfortable. We sisters have lost face like this? For whom? Could it be for that guy who clashed with Young Master Jin?
"You don't need to know that. Just know that I'm here for you!" The woman remained silent, not answering Peach Blossom's question.
"For us? Speak your mind! Stop talking nonsense!" Peach Leaf pushed Peach Blossom aside and stepped forward, asking bluntly. She showed no fear whatsoever towards the incredibly skilled monkey bodyguard. Damn it, do you dare hit a woman?
Peach Blossom frowned, thinking to herself, "Peach Leaf, my dear sister, your temper is just like Lin Daiyu's! It's killing me!"
"Your father's name is Gou Liqun, right? And your mother's name is Li Zhenzhen~" the woman said, making a startling statement.
"What do you want?" Tao Ye's expression changed slightly, and she became anxious. It seemed that the visitor was up to no good. The sisters knew best about Gou Liqun's mess. Their mother, that weak woman, had remarried hoping for a peaceful life, but fate had been cruel. She had married a showy rich man and ended up as a debtor. Not only did she not enjoy any happiness, but she also had to endure humiliation and sell her body to help fill the hole. What kind of world is this? The sisters were also dragged down with tragic fates, beautiful but short-lived.
"What do you want? Gou Liqun borrowed five million from me at exorbitant interest rates and has no money to pay me back. He wants me to take you two sisters away to pay off the debt. You can only come back and regain your freedom when we've earned five million!" The woman's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the two sisters stunned.
"No—what does his beastly behavior have to do with us? Let him die, you can kill him if you want, what does it have to do with us?!" Tao Ye screamed, fiercely denouncing her stepfather, Gou Liqun. She wanted to sever all ties with him.
On the contrary, Peach Blossom's face was sorrowful, and she appeared weak and resigned. The younger sister was skilled in social interaction and diplomacy, but in crucial moments, the older sister was the one who dared to fight and was willing to shed blood!

"How could that be? Aren't you his daughters? It's only right that children pay for their father's debts! Huanzi, take your people!" The woman glanced at Taoye and then stopped talking nonsense. "None of your business? Who am I supposed to ask for my five million? Just accept your fate!"
"No, no... please don't do this... just grab me, don't grab Peach Blossom..." Peach Leaf desperately tried to stop Peach Blossom, looking at the woman innocently and fearfully, and began to beg for mercy.
"No, sister, grab me instead! You, you have a bad temper... you can't stand it~" Peach Blossom's tears streamed down her face as she tugged at Peach Leaf, vying to step forward.
The room, which had been filled with suitors and admirers, was now completely empty. Only one person remained, sitting quietly by the window, as steady as a mountain, motionless.
Tao Ye caught a glimpse of Li Yang out of the corner of her eye, her face filled with helplessness and desolation. She had thought she had blocked Li Yang's harassment, but she hadn't expected that a real crisis never gives you time to react. When the moment comes, it's too late for regrets; all she could do was grit her teeth and accept her fate.
"Why do women have to make things difficult for each other? How about I go with you? It's just five million? That's just the price I pay for a toy!" Li Yang looked up and laughed. Funny, damn it, Wang Xia, are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to create an opportunity for me to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Are you even a woman? Shouldn't you be jealous? Shouldn't you be crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide?
"What a joke! You say five million and it's five million? You say a toy and it's a toy? Do you think you're Li Ka-shing's son or grandson?" Wang Xia glanced at Li Yang disdainfully, unmoved.
"Should I write a check and you call to confirm?" Li Yang waved the checkbook in his hand. This was much better than the bank's checkbook. How much did you need? Write whatever you wanted!
"Just kidding. Since you've put in a good word for them, I'll pretend I wasn't here today. We'll talk later!" Wang Xia suddenly laughed, her smile a blend of mature womanly wisdom and allure, yet also youthful innocence and charm. She was truly captivating! In bed, Li Yang wouldn't even need to take the initiative; just lie down, and she'd be all set. She was skilled at it, and quite technically. Li Yang licked his lips. Damn it, better not think about it now, or he'd embarrass himself!
"Hahaha... I thought Sister Wang didn't recognize me anymore? Thank you so much, I'll remember this favor. I'll definitely keep in touch later!" Li Yang laughed heartily. Damn, this double act feels so good.
"Huanzi, I'm leaving!" Wang Xia stood up and walked away calmly. So elegant!
"No need to see me out," Li Yang said with a faint smile.
"Who exactly are you?" Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf sat down around Li Yang, practically embracing him on both sides, their fragrance filling the air.
"Is it that important?" Li Yang started to put on airs. He couldn't easily reveal who he was, otherwise he'd lose his value and become worthless.
“It’s very important!” Peach Leaf affirmed.
"But I don't want to say!" Li Yang retorted.
"Was it because of you that the person who attacked Jin Sichun just now?" Peach Blossom asked cautiously.
"I don't know, maybe." Li Yang shrugged, feigning ignorance.
"Why should you help us? Have you taken a fancy to us sisters?" Tao Ye suddenly revealed a charming smile, completely natural.
Li Yang's body trembled; he was almost subdued. Fortunately, his skill was profound; he could even withstand a fox spirit! He calmly replied, "Yes!"
"You're kidding me~ We sisters aren't worth five million~ You give me a million and I'll be your mistress for three to five years~" Peach Leaf said coquettishly. Peach Blossom frowned, biting her red lips so hard they almost bled. She couldn't bear to watch anymore. Peach Leaf, my dear sister, please don't do this!
"Really?" Li Yang smiled. Half true, half false.
“Really~” Taoye nodded, her expression serious.
"Peach Leaf~" Peach Blossom erupted, her eyes turning red, her expression fierce and her aura astonishing.
"Do you want it or not?" Peach Leaf remained unmoved, ignoring her, and gritted her teeth to continue.
"Hahaha...Trying to test my limits? You're too green, you little brat!" Li Yang suddenly laughed loudly, feeling a little annoyed. Damn it, why did I call her a little brat again? She's not little anymore, is she?
"You're the one who's naive! Shh—thank goodness you didn't agree, otherwise, I'd have scissors ready to chop you up!" Peach Leaf let out a long sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed. She nudged Peach Blossom and said, "Quick, get me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst, I'm so nervous!"
Tao Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing that Tao Ye had been testing Li Yang. She was both annoyed and amused; he was so worried, and she was still acting silly. He vigorously ruffled Tao Ye's long, black hair and happily ran off to get some water.
"Now you can tell me why, right? I'll believe whatever you say~" Tao Ye stared intently at Li Yang, her eyes sparkling with beauty.
Damn? Is this some kind of generalship? Li Yang felt a headache coming on.
"I might disappoint you, it's not what you think. I just felt it would be a waste of your talents if you two ended up like that, it would be a tragedy. So I took a moment of pity." Li Yang used a feigned retreat, deliberately avoiding any mention of liking or being attracted to her, letting the girl walk down that path herself, and then become hopelessly infatuated—that was the best approach. Damn, that's so despicable.
"Was it really just a momentary act of kindness?" Taoye lamented. "Are we sisters really that bad?"
"Yes. But I might as well tell you a secret." Li Yang nodded through gritted teeth, but then threw out another bait.
"What secret?" Tao Ye was happy to share Li Yang's secret.
“I’m planning to take down Stupid K. His Paradise Bar will be mine sooner or later,” Li Yang whispered to Tao Ye.
Like a thunderclap, Tao Ye was indeed startled and cried out, "What? Have you gone mad?"
"Peach Leaf, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?!" Peach Blossom came out carrying water and was startled. The water spilled out. Damn it, if it were coffee, what a waste!
"I'm not crazy. Which of you is crazy?" Li Yang looked at the two sisters. "You two seem a bit too agitated, don't you? Is this idiot K really that hard to deal with?"
"Are you really going to go after Brother K from Paradise Bar?" Tao Ye asked excitedly, as if she were Li Yang's best friend and was very worried about him. Damn it, we're not that close, are we?
"What? Are you crazy?" Peach Blossom exclaimed, dropping her teacup on the ground. Damn it, this time it was a real waste.
