Fang Jinxiu's home is really a mess, with the table covered in all sorts of disorderly stuff and various stains, as if it hasn't been wiped for years.
Honestly, Tang Rao didn't even dare to rest his arm on the table, slowly noticing a layer of black gunk.
A cup of tea was set in front of Tang Rao, with a few leaves floating in it, steaming and indeed exuding a greasy smell.
"Mr. Tang, please have some tea, have some tea," Fang Liren said enthusiastically to Tang Rao.
Tang Rao looked at the oily, shiny surface of the tea, damn, I really can't bring myself to drink this.
"Well, I'll have this instead." Tang Rao saw a bottle of beverage on the table and took it.
He looked at it, oh my, it expired over half a year ago, but Tang Rao thought it might be a bit safer to drink this instead.
"Mr. Tang, our Jinxiu, she hasn't caused you any trouble, has she? Is she diligent at work?" the middle-aged woman asked.
"Du Liyue, don't be so chummy; I'm not that familiar with you," Fang Jinxiu gave the middle-aged woman a glare.
Du Liyue chuckled dryly a couple of times, not retorting or arguing back.
"There's no trouble, Jinxiu is indeed very capable at work," Tang Rao said with a smile.
"That's great, that's great. By the way, Mr. Tang, what does your company do?" Du Liyue inquired.
"Why are you asking so much! It's none of your business!" Fang Jinxiu glared at Du Liyue.
"Jinxiu, don't talk like that," Fang Liren said with a frown.
Fang Jinxiu glanced at Fang Liren, took a deep breath, sat with her arms crossed, and became silent.
"Our company, well, we do some international trade," Tang Rao said.
"International trade is good, very profitable," Du Liyue immediately chimed in excitedly.
"It's okay, not exactly a big company. We make just enough to cover living expenses, a few tens of millions a year," Tang Rao said with a laugh, but he wasn't trying to show off—after all, for him, tens of millions really wasn't much.
He had previously invested in producing Pupil Network Devices, and those could bring in billions.
Hearing Tang Rao mention tens of millions, Du Liyue and Fang Liren's eyes lit up.
"So Jinxiu, how much is her monthly salary?" Du Liyue asked.
"Fifty thousand," Tang Rao said with a raised eyebrow.
Du Liyue and Fang Liren were somewhat stunned, fifty thousand a month, my goodness, that was already considered a decent white-collar salary.
Fang Jinxiu looked at Tang Rao weirdly and said nothing.
Seeing Fang Jinxiu keeping silent, Du Liyue got bolder.
"Boss Tang, as you can see, our family is really poor now, can't even scrape the bottom of the pot. I wonder if you can give us some living expenses. Jinxiu receives fifty thousand a month, how about you give us an advance on one month's salary?" Du Liyue said.
Fang Liren opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing, obviously agreeing with Du Liyue's suggestion.
Tang Rao looked at Du Liyue, then at Fang Liren, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly, no wonder Fang Jinxiu returned acting like a thief.
"Logically speaking, you asking for this is within reason," Tang Rao said.
"Exactly, exactly, within reason," Du Liyue immediately nodded in agreement.
"However, this is ultimately Jinxiu's salary. Whether to agree or not, it depends on if Jinxiu gives the nod," Tang Rao said.
"We are her parents; it's only right!" Du Liyue immediately exclaimed.
Fang Jinxiu was about to fly into a rage, but Tang Rao grabbed her hand and stopped her in time.
"Um, if you put it that way, it's not wrong," Tang Rao continued, his face always beaming with a smile.
As he spoke, Tang Rao took out five stacks of red Flame money from his Space Ring, a total of fifty thousand, and placed it on the table.
Seeing the fifty thousand dollars, Du Liyue's eyes bulged, swallowing hard.
"This fifty thousand, I'll advance it to you. However, Jinxiu here, she'll have to spend one night with me. Any objections?" Tang Rao pressed his hand on the money and asked indifferently.
Du Liyue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Of course, no problem, Boss Tang you can also spend two nights, just give a hundred thousand."
Fang Jinxiu's face had already turned frighteningly dark.
"Mr. Fang, what do you think?" Tang Rao looked at Fang Liren.
Fang Liren is what really mattered to Fang Jinxiu, it was Fang Liren's stance that was important.
"This... this... this isn't good..." Fang Liren said softly.
"Fang Liren, what the hell isn't good about it! He's a wealthy man, sleeping for one night for fifty thousand, if you can sleep with me for one night for fifty thousand, I'll damn well stay with you until the end of time!" Du Liyue's eyes reddened with rage as she spoke harshly.
Fang Liren seemed to be frightened by Du Liyue's yelling, swallowing his saliva, ultimately not speaking further, only remaining silent.
Not talking equates to agreement.
Fang Jinxiu's complexion instantly turned ashen, her mouth opened, but she couldn't utter a word, her mind in disarray, and she seemed to lose all her strength.
If it wasn't for Tang Rao supporting her, she would probably have fallen off the chair.
"Good, then this fifty thousand will remain here, and I'll take Jinxiu with me." Tang Rao stood up, wrapped his arm around Fang Jinxiu's waist, and forcefully took her away.
As soon as they reached the downstairs, Fang Jinxiu pounced on Tang Rao and began punching him wildly.
"Tang Rao, what the hell are you doing! What are you doing!" Fang Jinxiu shouted and struck, her eyes terrifyingly fierce.
She seemed to want to cry; tears were swirling in her eyes, but they just wouldn't fall.
"I'm just helping you," Tang Rao said.
"Helping me? Is this how you help, by forcing my dad to sell me like a prostitute?!"
"Did I force him?" Tang Rao countered.
Fang Jinxiu fell silent.
"Look, I have a nose; I can smell the stink of drugs at home. And I'm not blind; I can see the track marks on both their arms. I'm not pretending to be oblivious," Tang Rao shrugged and said, indeed, both Fang Liren and Du Liyue had deep drug addictions.
"The money I gave has a tracer, if it's used, the police will be able to track it down," Tang Rao continued.
"You're ruining my dad!" Fang Jinxiu glared even more terrifyingly.
"I'm rescuing him. Quitting drugs is his only way to survive. Do you really want to come home one day and see him dead in bed, his body rotting?" Tang Rao asked.
Fang Jinxiu's grip on Tang Rao's clothes gradually loosened, and her eyes slowly calmed down.
"You, as his child, can't bear to be that harsh, so, I'll do this for you. No help for it, since we've slept together, right?" Tang Rao smiled.
"Bullshit, it was just sleeping in the same room, you on the sofa and me on the bed."
"Tonight will be different, I bought you from your dad for fifty thousand. There's a big hotel up ahead, let's get a room. Come on, let loose, after all, we have all the time in the world," Tang Rao yelled.
"Idiot." Fang Jinxiu kicked Tang Rao and immediately pulled open the car door to sit in the passenger seat, tilting her head back and blinking, seemingly trying to dry the tears in her eyes with the wind.
"If you're moved, just cry out, I won't laugh at you," Tang Rao said as he sat in the driver's seat and turned to speak.
