"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to share a husband with two women like you? You're dreaming! Let go of me right now, we've crashed!" Peach Blossom waved her arms, her face flushed, and slapped Peach Leaf's hand away.
"Oh." Taoye withdrew her hand and sat down calmly. It was as if she was the younger sister.
"Which of you two is the older sister?" Li Yang asked, teasing Tao Ye with a knowing look in his mind.
"I'm the older sister~" the two girls said almost simultaneously.
"Huh? You're all older sisters?" Li Yang asked in surprise.
"Hmph~ Yes, they're all your sisters," Peach Blossom said slyly.
"You guys are really cunning. But Sister Peach Leaf, you're in danger right now!" Li Yang said in a serious tone.
"What's wrong with me?" Tao Ye touched her smooth face, not understanding what Li Yang meant.
"Exactly, how many times have I told you? You're still so forgetful~" Peach Blossom also noticed the problem and snorted.
"Huh?" Peach Leaf was a little dumbfounded.
"Seatbelt, huh?" Li Yang rolled his eyes. Damn, he almost said "condom."
"Oh. This? I trust Peach Blossom's skills, it's fine~" Peach Leaf chuckled, stuck out her tongue, and still pulled over the seatbelt and buckled it.
"Let me tell you, don't be careless. It's very dangerous to work without a safety helmet," Li Yang said in a strange tone.
"That's true, we might actually get caught!" Tao Ye nodded slightly, unsuspecting.
“Yeah, it’s easy to get infected, it’s a serious problem~” Li Yang squinted and nodded with a chuckle.
Tao Ye didn't understand the meaning behind Li Yang's words. She wasn't good at socializing and didn't pay much attention to people's tone and expressions, so she couldn't guess what Li Yang meant. But Tao Hua was different. She was an outsider and dealt with men a lot, especially in places like bars, where she had heard plenty of lewd talk. She quickly understood the lewd meaning in Li Yang's words.
With slightly flushed cheeks, she glared at Tao Ye. This silly older sister of hers, she was always the one blocking customers and protecting Tao Ye at the bar. As a result, she didn't understand any of these things, and now, she didn't even realize that Li Yang was flirting with her.
"Peach Leaf, you can jump now!" Peach Blossom said angrily.
"What did I do now?" Taoye asked, puzzled.
"Forget it, it's pointless to talk to you." Peach Blossom shook her head speechlessly and stopped explaining.
"What's wrong with me?" Tao Ye asked Li Yang innocently.
"Ah, it's nothing. Maybe she doesn't like you~" Li Yang chuckled, knowing that Tao Hua understood what he meant, but he wouldn't explain it to Tao Ye.
"How inexplicable~" Taoye muttered in dissatisfaction.
The car arrived at their apartment building.
"Li Yang, hurry up! We're using free labor, it'll expire if we don't use it!" Tao Ye put her hands on her hips and directed Li Yang to move things out of the car. Tao Hua got out of the car to help.
“I have another place for you to use for free. Do you want it? It takes more effort than moving things, but I’m willing to do it.” Li Yang said, carrying large and small bags and staring at Tao Ye.
"Where?" Peach Leaf asked, blinking her big eyes.
Peach Blossom hurried up the stairs carrying her things; she was about to break down if she listened any longer. This Peach Leaf was so oblivious; it seemed she really shouldn't have protected her so much, making her seem so idiotic.
"Oh, the mouth~" Li Yang said with a smile.
"Dream on!" Tao Ye exclaimed and chased after him, but Li Yang had already slipped into the elevator.
"There are cameras, be mindful of the impact~" Peach Blossom said with displeasure. She was extremely regretful; being a super third wheel was no fun at all. She should have known better than to go shopping with Peach Leaf. But having grown up together, the two sisters were always inseparable, supporting each other, and it was truly hard to separate them now.
The three of them were somewhat surprised after they stepped out of the elevator carrying their things. There was another person standing at the door of the apartment where the Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf sisters lived. All three of them had met her once before, when Jin Sichun caused a scene at the outdoor barbecue. Jin Sichun's mother, Miao Zhuzhu, was dressed in an elegant manner and carrying a Hermes bag, standing at the door of their apartment.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" Tao Ye said coldly, pretending not to recognize her.
"I beg you, please let my husband, Lao Jin, go!" Miao Zhuzhu knelt down with a thud when she saw the two men and began kowtowing repeatedly.
The two sisters were stunned for a moment, swallowing hard. Peach Blossom glanced at Peach Leaf and said, "What... what do you mean? We don't understand."
"Please let Lao Jin off the hook! It was my son's fault for making things difficult for you, and Lao Jin has also done things that have wronged you. You can punish him however you want, and you can give him any compensation you want, but please don't let him go to jail, okay? I beg you!" Miao Zhuzhu said painfully, her face full of pleading.
Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf's faces were extremely ugly. They would never forget the beastly things the Jin family father and son had done. Jin Sichun and Jin Zhejiu had used their power to force Gou Liqun, Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf's beastly stepfather, to offer up their mother, Li Zhenzhen. This was tantamount to completely offending the sisters, and they could never forgive them.
"I don't understand what you mean. I have no idea what happened. We sisters are just ordinary people. How could we possibly threaten President Jin? Besides, we sisters have no power or influence. Even if something happens to him, we sisters can't help him." Tao Hua looked at Miao Zhuzhu with satisfaction. The once arrogant and haughty rich woman who pointed her finger at them and cursed them was now kneeling on the ground without any dignity. The contrast between the events was so stark and the irony was too sharp.
"You, you can't say that! Only you can save my husband, Lao Jin. My son has wronged you, please don't make things difficult for me anymore. I spent a lot of money to find out this information. Someone is standing up for you sisters and trying to get rid of my husband. Only by begging you can he be saved!" Miao Zhuzhu knelt on the floor with her bare, fair knees, not daring to get up. Her fair forehead was also bright red, almost dripping blood, making her look very pitiful.
A sudden thought flashed through Tao Hua and Tao Ye's minds, and they both turned to look at Li Yang.
Chapter 862: A Great Satisfaction
"Li Yang, are you aware of this?" Peach Blossom didn't speak, but Peach Leaf did.
"I'm not entirely sure either, but I can make a call and ask what happened." Li Yang was also somewhat surprised, not understanding what trouble Jin Zhejiu had encountered, but judging from his wife's expression, it was probably a huge disaster. He vaguely guessed that it was someone else's doing, but he had to make a call to confirm.
Li Yang took out his phone and dialed the number of Yuan Jun, the secretary-general of the Jiangnan Municipal Party Committee.
"Hello, Secretary-General Yuan, this is Li Yang. I need to confirm something with you, it's about Jin Zhejiu, yes, it's them..." Li Yang said in a friendly and familiar tone. Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf, who were standing to the side, were still shocked, even though they had also experienced the outdoor barbecue incident that day. But to Miao Zhuzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, it was utterly astonishing and unbelievable.
How could a young man speak so intimately and equally with the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? Calling each other brothers? Is this person Secretary-General Yuan Jun? But Li Yang was clearly referring to Secretary-General Yuan.
That day, she was heartbroken by the tragic events of that day, her mind was blank, filled with hatred and anger, and she didn't notice what had actually happened. She thought Yuan Jun's arrival was because of the Peach Blossom and Peach Leaf sisters, and she was secretly cursing the two vixens in her heart, saying that the two sisters shamelessly served a man with their buttocks.
At the time, she simply couldn't believe that Yuan Jun's arrival was because of Li Yang. In officialdom, one must look beyond the surface to see the true nature of things. Yuan Jun and Li Yang's closeness was merely for show.
But today, she witnessed a scene that made her jaw drop. It turned out that Yuan Jun's arrival that day was truly to stand up for the young man before her. A hopeful and yearning light flashed in her eyes as she stared at Li Yang with longing.
After a lively conversation between Li Yang and Yuan Jun, Li Yang realized that Yuan Jun was trying to curry favor with him. After all, he had managed to establish a relationship with the municipal party secretary, and as the secretary-general, Yuan Jun certainly wielded considerable influence; it was normal for him to have uncovered some information about him. Of course, Yuan Jun would try to win over such an ally.
