This is just like how some seemingly calm people often do many unexpected things, and today is no exception.
"My sister and I are going to a barbecue party hosted by Brother K. Do you have time?" Tao Ye's text message read, clearly an invitation, yet phrased very politely and with room for maneuver. She obviously felt that her request was somewhat abrupt and out of character, potentially leading Li Yang to misunderstand and think she was trying to pursue him.
Li Yang's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately understood her little scheme. She was embarrassed to call because she was afraid that she would refuse him to his face or say something unpleasant that would ruin their relationship. After all, they weren't just pretty faces with big breasts and no brains. They could tell that Li Yang was someone with connections, not a spoiled brat like Jin Sichun or Jin Shao. He had some inner qualities and was worth getting to know, not too dangerous.
"Understood!" Li Yang didn't answer whether he would go or not, leaving himself room for maneuver, yet still giving her an answer. Although this answer was practically nothing. It was equivalent to saying nothing at all. Tao Ye felt somewhat lost upon receiving his reply, her face flushed, and she regretted her impulsive actions. Although Li Yang was a reliable person with much greater inner qualities than Jin Sichun, she shouldn't have been so proactive, right? It made her seem worthless.
In reality, these sisters, like most girls in today's economic climate, have experienced the benefits of money from a young age and understand its advantages. Girls from poor families, who have been exploited by money since childhood, also know its benefits. Therefore, especially attractive girls like them, plan for a good marriage, essentially waiting for the right offer. The reason Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf didn't stay with Jin Sichun was because they saw him as a spendthrift. While their father was in power, he was powerful, but now he's a worthless nobody. More importantly, they vaguely knew about their stepfather's despicable deeds, forcing their mother to serve another man and his son. How could they possibly have any affection for Jin Sichun? They were only forced by circumstances; otherwise, even though they were girls, they would have already had Jin Sichun defiled.
Li Yang is different. He's young, wealthy, and incredibly capable. They weren't sure exactly how capable he was, but they could guess—at least on par with Wang Xia, right? Otherwise, why would Wang Xia give him face? Besides…
He was able to resolve the crisis for the sisters and provide them with a safe haven, igniting a burning flame of gratitude in their hearts, who had always felt insecure and lonely.
Especially her older sister, Tao Ye, who has a cold exterior but a warm heart, is already smitten with Li Yang, which is why she sent him a message today. However, it's not that she's already itching to strip naked and sleep with Li Yang. If Li Yang thinks that way now and takes her to a hotel room tonight, she will not only resist but also lose all affection for him. From then on, they will be strangers, and she will part ways with Li Yang and never have anything to do with him again.
That's why the older sister texted Li Yang, but the younger sister, Tao Hua, didn't.
Li Yang replied to the message, a smirk playing on his lips. His eyes flashed with a ruthless glint. "Damn it, idiot K and Jin Sichun? Let's see what happens to you." He closed his eyes and continued cultivating. There was still some time before the afternoon barbecue party, and at his speed, getting there would be easy, especially in the suburbs. He could soar through the air like a helicopter, landing in a deserted spot. If the shepherd boy saw him, he could claim to be an angel, descending to save his sister or younger sister—well, that's impossible…
The outdoor barbecue was just one of K-Brother's schemes. But since it was a scheme, it couldn't be exposed. So he hired a lot of spoiled rich kids. His bar was frequented by men with too much money and nothing better to do than cause trouble; they were experts at eating, drinking, and having fun. Of course, it wasn't just men; many were socialites from the city. At many high-society parties, they could be seen wearing floor-length gowns, revealing their white arms and ample breasts, flirting with men. If they found one they liked, they'd share a drink and then be taken to a secret place for a tryst. Afterwards, the relationship naturally progressed. As for future collaborations or profit-sharing, need I say more? That's how things were!
Everyone knows the sordid nature of this high-level party, so these men and women are all sensible. They heard that Brother K organized an outdoor barbecue, and since everyone had nothing else to do, they all drove their luxury cars, brought their male and female companions, Japanese Kobe beef, and professional barbecue equipment, and all went out.
Tao Hua and Tao Ye could be considered socialites, but it was all show and no substance. Few people knew this, yet they always seemed somewhat insecure. Although they wore gold and silver and used designer clothes, they still felt uneasy standing in front of those who exuded an air of extravagance and arrogance. When they saw Jin Sichun, that scumbag, in the crowd, their faces turned pale, but they held back. After all, navigating society isn't always smooth sailing; sometimes you have to force yourself to associate with people you don't want to see.
As expected of someone who had been around in the South, Brother K understood people's hearts very well. The playboys he invited this time were all inferior to Jin Sichun in terms of status and power. Although they all came from wealthy families, they were still somewhat inferior to the son of the head of the city's Industrial and Commercial Bank. Therefore, as soon as Jin Sichun arrived, he became the focus of everyone's attention. Men fawned over him and flattered him, while women flirted with him and clung to him with their breasts, all trying to win his favor. For a moment, Jin Sichun was in a great mood, thinking to himself that Silly K was quite capable and that he could make more friends with him in the future.
Although they didn't bring their own chef, these spoiled brats were too lazy to do anything, and they weren't good at barbecuing. Stupid K had already made preparations, hiring a professional chef to do the barbecuing on one side, while these young masters and ladies held their wine glasses, swirling high-end red wine, clinking glasses, and trying to build relationships.
Sure enough, after Jin Sichun dismissed a few people, he brought over the bar and immediately saw the two sisters.
"Aren't these Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf? You two look so beautiful today!" Jin Sichun stared lustfully at the long legs and rounded curves of the Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf sisters, her heart pounding with excitement. Damn, those legs and those butts are absolutely mesmerizing! They're even hotter and more alluring than those so-called long-legged sisters online, Kong Yansong and Kong Yaozhu. Damn, if you sisters took a set of sexy photos and posted them online, I guarantee you'd be famous everywhere—instantly becoming goddesses to all the otaku!
"Thank you~" Peach Blossom smiled reservedly. Peach Leaf, however, gave him a cold glance and completely ignored him.
Jin Sichun thought to herself with a vengeance, gritting her teeth and suppressing her anger. "Just you wait, you sisters will be crying soon!"
Chapter 835: Do you know him?
"Today we have Kobe beef from Japan, and a top chef invited by A-K. I think today's barbecue feast will be a great event~" Jin Sichun said with a smile, raising her glass and feigning elegance.
"Sorry, I don't like beef," Taoye said coldly, showing no respect whatsoever.
Peach Blossom smiled apologetically and said, "My sister is allergic to beef, I'm sorry. But the red wine is quite good." This gave them some face, calming down Jin Sichun, who was furious and on the verge of exploding. Brother K felt very uncomfortable. He had originally wanted to develop the twin sisters into his own possessions, but now, in order to protect himself, he had to sell them out. He was extremely unhappy about it.
"I didn't know Taoye was allergic to beef, I'm so sorry. But we also prepared lamb, which tastes pretty good and will definitely make up for it!" Brother K said with a smile.
"Sorry, I'm allergic to lamb too~" Tao Ye had received a message from Li Yang when she arrived, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable. Then, seeing Jin Sichun at the event, she and her sisters, being intelligent enough, could easily guess K's ulterior motives—they assumed he organized the event to curry favor with Jin Sichun. They couldn't help but feel annoyed with K, so they didn't bother to be polite. However, they never imagined that K would go so far as to target them to curry favor with Jin Sichun.
"Don't go too far. Sometimes you have to leave people a way out," Jin Sichun said coldly, staring at Taoye.
"Thank you for reminding me, but I think I'm an adult now. I'm fully aware of my actions and the consequences they will have. You don't need to say anything more!" Tao Ye said coldly, showing no mercy whatsoever.
K-ge also felt extremely embarrassed and was in a bad mood, unable to save face. Jin Sichun's expression had changed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Taoye, you need to understand your place. Let me tell you, with just one word from my father, your father will be summoned to court, your house and car will be auctioned off, and you sisters will be homeless. Don't push me; my patience is limited."
This time, even the smile on Peach Blossom's face vanished. She stared coldly at Jin Sichun and sneered, "Young Master Jin, thank you for the reminder, but we know our place and our situation. If that's what you want to do, we have nothing more to say."
K was somewhat surprised. He was puzzled as to why sisters like Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf would come to his establishment to earn money. At first, he thought they were just trying to experience life, earn some pocket money, or even find a rich husband. He never imagined that they were out earning money because of their family's situation. No wonder they were so eager for money; it turned out that having money at home was just for show.
"Fine, very well~ As expected, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences~ I've gotten to know you sisters now. Just you wait, I'll show you what regret is~" Jin Sichun said to the twin sisters with a gloomy expression, then glanced at Brother K. Brother K immediately understood and began to prepare.
"Hehe... Today is a happy day, how can you do this? Don't make the atmosphere too tense, let's all have a drink and let bygones be bygones." Brother K stepped in to smooth things over, took a bottle of red wine and a few glasses from the side, poured the wine quickly and handed a glass to Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf, a glass to Jin Sichun, and a glass to himself, and said with a smile.
Tao Ye had no intention of drinking, showing them no respect whatsoever. Why should she give face to those two scoundrels? But Tao Hua gave her a wink, signaling her not to go too far. After all, their family still needed the Jin family's help; making things too awkward would be bad for them. Seeing her sister's signal, Tao Ye gritted her teeth and accepted the glass of wine. Without clinking glasses or even glancing at Jin Sichun, she downed it in one gulp, then tossed the glass aside, ignoring the two of them completely.
Jin Sichun watched her finish her drink, and his mood immediately improved. He no longer cared about her attitude; since she had taken the bait, she would soon be his woman, so attitude was no longer an issue. His eyes then turned to Tao Hua. Tao Hua was a very sensitive girl, and she had initially thought her sister's behavior would anger Jin Sichun, but instead, Jin Sichun was smiling, as if his happiness stemmed from his sister's drinking. Could there be something wrong with the wine?
She hesitated for a moment, glancing at Brother K. He was the one who had prepared the drink; only he knew best whether there was a problem. Peach Blossom's hesitation immediately displeased Jin Sichun, and Brother K was also sweating bullets. Peach Leaf was already in his grasp, and only Peach Blossom remained. If something happened to Peach Blossom, today's operation would be half a failure. Forcing her would be a joke with so many people present; they had to make Peach Blossom drink the wine for the operation to be a complete success.
"Peach Blossom, what's wrong? You won't even give me this much face?" Jin Sichun asked, suppressing her excitement and anticipation.
"You think you're so great?" A voice abruptly interrupted him, showing him no respect whatsoever. Jin Sichun was instantly enraged. Who here dared to interrupt him? Even Young Master Jin dared to slap him across the face. Had this Cheng Yaojin (a character from Journey to the West) lost his mind?
"Who the hell are you? Do you know who you're talking to?" Jin Sichun cursed angrily, turning around and raising her foot to kick. She missed, failing to hit anyone, and instead, due to the excessive force she used, she stumbled and almost fell, straining a muscle. The pain brought tears to her eyes, and she couldn't stand steadily. What the hell is going on? Who is this person? K-ge quickly helped Jin Sichun up, looking up to see Li Yang standing smiling in front of him. He immediately jumped, almost falling to the ground, his legs clamping together, feeling a burning sensation in his backside. The humiliation from last time flashed through his mind again. A surge of anger and resentment mixed with a chilling fear welled up inside him. He took a step back before barely managing to calm himself.
"It's you?" K asked through gritted teeth.
"You know him?" Jin Sichun was furious at her embarrassment and was somewhat surprised that Li Yang dared to be so arrogant after appearing so suddenly. She wasn't a completely brainless person, so she didn't rush to retaliate. She planned to test Li Yang's background before choosing how to make a move.
Brother K is no saint; he'd love for everyone in the world to be against Li Yang, so naturally he wouldn't tell the truth. He just sneered, "Just a nobody, from out of town, extremely arrogant. He's the one who messed up my place."
"He dares to wreck your place? He's really got some nerve! Today I'll give you a taste of your own medicine and make him kneel down and lick the soles of your shoes!" Jin Sichun said coldly.
"Hey kid, tell me your name? What are you doing here?" Jin Sichun asked, feigning nonchalance.
Chapter 836: Too brutal!
"Hey kid, tell me your name? What are you doing here?" Jin Sichun asked, feigning nonchalance. He actually recognized Li Yang as the guy who had humiliated him the night before, and knew he was closely associated with the Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf sisters, so he harbored a deep grudge. He secretly planned to make Li Yang regret it later. Anyway, that damned monkey wasn't around today, and he, Jin Sichun, had plenty of men. Home ground, absolute advantage.
"Oh—you really came! I'm so sorry, I dragged you along to be my protector, but I didn't expect there to be such a disgusting fly~" Tao Ye's eyes lit up when she saw Li Yang. Ignoring her reserve, she walked over and hugged Li Yang's arm. Her cold and beautiful face blossomed into a stunning smile, dazzlingly beautiful. Jin Sichun almost fainted at the sight; it was the first time she had ever seen Tao Ye smile so brightly.
Peach Blossom frowned slightly, surprised. When did Peach Leaf bring him here? And are they so close? But after all, he's one of their own, their protector, so she walked over and hugged Li Yang's arm from the other side. One on each side, a pair of stunningly beautiful twin sisters, embracing each other, the air of authority, the sheer enjoyment—the ultimate in male pleasure.
Peach Leaf's eyes conveyed both joy and anger, while Peach Blossom's brows furrowed slightly, yet she did not refute.
Jin Sichun was furious. He could not touch either Tao Hua or Tao Ye, let alone make them call themselves his girlfriend. But Li Yang, this nobody who appeared out of nowhere, was directly embracing both of them. It was simply outrageous!
"Damn it! You little brat, you deserve a beating! I'll use you as a sacrifice today!" Jin Sichun cursed angrily, then kicked Li Yang in the groin like a thunderclap. The kick, accompanied by a slight whoosh of wind, carried considerable force, showing that the kid had attended quite a few mediocre martial arts schools like karate and taekwondo. His superficial martial arts skills were even more vulnerable.
