Chapter 23 You came at the right time After Zhang Ailan saw Olivia off, he locked the door of the mansion by himself, put his luggage on the steps at the entrance, changed his shoes, and walked into the magnificent hall. "What would you like to drink, Mr. King?" Catherine was a little sober, leaning against the refrigerator, looking at Zhang Ailun with a hazy smile. She was wearing a black commuter dress, with crystals sparkling on her transparent high-heeled sandals, revealing her toes with red nail polish, and a pink scarf tied around her neck. Under the light, the white foundation makeup has fallen off a little. Although it can be seen that she takes good care of herself and her skin is fair and hydrated, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the blemishes on her face reveal her true age. This is the old bannerman without filters. No matter how well you take care of yourself in your thirties, you won’t be much better. Zhang Ailun thought: "Coffee? Or a bottle of soda water, anything is fine. I don't feel very thirsty now." Catherine looked at him meaningfully and smiled lazily, "The time now is 9:46 pm. Do you want some coffee?"
Although he said that, he still took out the cocoa beans and started to grind the coffee. "Please take a seat, Mr. Jin. I am the only one here on weekdays." "Perhaps you could just call me by my first name, Hamburg, or Ms. Juan Jon." "Okay, Hamburg, you can also just call me Catherine." Catherine smiled. Zhang Ailun sat on the sofa. It felt so soft that his body almost sank into it. While changing to a comfortable position and lying on her back, she asked to get the other person's information: "You said you live here alone? Catherine, where is your husband?" "divorced." Catherine said nonchalantly: "That guy is a bastard. The only good thing about him is that he's rich. We started playing our own games a long time ago." "..." Ok. In your advanced place, everything is indeed advanced. Zhang Ailun picked up a random topic and the two of them chatted with each other. I accidentally triggered a button and felt a vibration on my back, which was tingling and numb. Suddenly, an inexplicable force came from under my butt. Push hard. !! ? Zhang Ailun stood up immediately as if his butt was on fire, and looked at the sofa with a bulging rhythm, somewhat doubting his life. I don't quite understand, but I am greatly shocked. You old bannermen are the ones who know how to have fun!! Everything is fully automatic. Seeing this scene, Catherine smiled calmly as if she was used to it.
He came over with a cup of strong coffee and milk candy and placed them on the table: "Is this your first time as a guest in someone else's home? I mean, your first time experiencing life in a mansion?" "No. I've stayed in a more luxurious oceanfront villa in Bali." Zhang Ailun speaks the truth, he likes to tell the truth. "But there's nothing like that over there. I mean, the technology on the island isn't backward, but the environment is still more in tune with nature." “What is life like in Bali?” Catherine prepared herself a cup of NOHO vitamin hangover drink, sat on the sofa, raised her hand to signal him to relax, and considerately turned off the full automatic mode for him. If you want to experience it, just wait. "Well, a place where people can relax and lay down to enjoy their retirement. There are beautiful beaches, blue waters, and wet and salty sea breezes." "During the day, you can go to scenic spots with your friends, visit the Holy Spring Temple and Ubud Palace, sunbathe on the beach, surf on the sea, and experience various fun activities. At night, walk on the beach to pick up conches, look at the stars, and enjoy a quiet life." "Or have a lively campfire party with friends, sing and dance together, feel free and carefree," Zhang Ailun recalled. "It's really wonderful to hear you say that! I'm a little moved and can't wait to take a plane to experience the holiday life in Bali." Catherine was somewhat tempted, but also a little regretful. "But unfortunately, I am still very busy with my work and can't spare the time." From his conversation, it can be seen that Zhang Ailun does not seem to be lying, and he has really experienced that kind of life. No matter how much a person lies, his temperament cannot be changed. The poor and the rich can be distinguished at a glance. Otherwise, she would never have invited an Asian stranger to stay overnight at her home. "Really? Can I ask what you do for a living, Catherine? Do you run your own company?" Zhang Allen glanced at the mansion facilities and asked, "Properties in this area should cost at least three to five million dollars." Catherine gave him a strange look and replied, "Don't you usually pay attention to the news?" Zhang Ailun was puzzled, "Why? What is the connection between the two?" Catherine smiled and said, "My ex-husband is a star agent of the NBA Lakers Club. He gave me this house as a gift. In other words, I used some of his dirty laundry as a condition to sue him for it. He had cheated on me during my marriage and had five or six mistresses and two illegitimate children." "Ah?" Zhang Ailun was shocked. He really didn't expect to get such an answer. He has even thought about how to praise you for being smart, capable, fair-skinned, beautiful, and having a good business sense. But if you say that, I really can't praise you anymore. Catherine picked up the cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "But that's all in the past. I'm now the CEO of an advertising company." "..." Zhang Ailun didn't know what to say. The CEO is good, he is self-reliant. "Hamburg, you said before that you were doing recycling work? What exactly do you mean?" Catherine asked. "It's just a matter of recycling the cans that others don't want. Due to special reasons, all my documents have been cancelled. I don't have a stable job at the moment, and my identity doesn't belong to any country. But I'm ready to find a connection to restore my identity."
Zhang Ailun said half-truthfully. Catherine didn't know much about this aspect. After simply understanding the predicament Zhang Ailun was facing, she no longer wanted to pry into other people's privacy too much. "I have to say, you are really strong! You pinched my wrist until it turned red in the car before. Are you always so rough with women?" Catherine complained, and intentionally or unintentionally put her hand on Zhang Ailan's leg. Zhang Ailun glanced down and saw that it was indeed a little red and a little bruised. "I'm naturally stronger." Zhang Ailun apologized: "I'm so sorry for accidentally hurting you." I took hold of her wrist, rubbed it gently, and asked me to check whether the injury was serious. "You must have a great figure then," Catherine said as she moved closer. Zhang Ailun sat beside her, pressed her hand on his abdomen, slowly lifted the corner of his shirt to reveal his eight-pack abs, and smiled slightly: "Of course." Catherine watched intently. Shortness of breath. Oh my god, this feels... "You're as strong as a bodybuilder. I mean, at least you're stronger than my fat, useless ex-husband!" If you say that, I'll be furious. Talk more, I'd love to hear it. Catherine wanted to ask more questions, but there was no way. Her consciousness was beginning to blur, and she just pounced on him without any moral ethics. Zhang Ailun stopped her midway and said seriously: "I am very grateful that you took me in tonight, Catherine. But you invited me here just for this?" Catherine was a little confused and smiled foolishly: "Of course, I will 'take you in'. If you perform well, I will also pay you a reward! You can get as much reward as you want." "It would be better if this payment was used as a thank you for my kind gesture rather than any other payment." Zhang Ailun felt it necessary to explain it in advance to avoid getting entangled in trivial matters later. This woman is a tough guy who can take the skin from her ex-husband. She is not someone to be trifled with at all. He is not out to sell himself. You were the one who invited me in. "Of course, as you wish, sir! Now, is it time for you to do as I wish?" Catherine exhaled a hot breath and began to chew it impatiently, wishing she could eat Zhang Ailan alive. Hiss... Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. The ancients were not deceiving me! Soon, the next one will be the paid program. About an hour passed.
Olivia, who was on duty at the property department, was watching a video when she suddenly received a phone call. "Hello, this is the property department of Corona Crown District... ah? Okay, I'll be there right away." Olivia dressed herself up carefully, drove the community property's balance bike, and came to the door of Villa No. 964 carrying a bottle of soda. The security door lock was opened from the inside. Olivia walked into the yard and pushed the door open. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the extremely shocking scene. Olivia covered her mouth in disbelief. Embarrassed: "Sorry, maybe I came at the wrong time?" "No, you came just in time." “Serving customers is part of your job, isn’t it?” Catherine muttered. "Yes." "Come over!!" (End of this chapter)
