Half an hour later!
Li Qianfan returned home and saw Li Dalong sitting on the sofa studying a bottle of white wine, while Meng Lin was busy in the kitchen, the tempting aroma of food wafting through the air, making one’s mouth water.
“Xiao Fan, you’re back, come and sit.”
Li Dalong put the bottle of wine on the coffee table and immediately went up to greet Li Qianfan, even taking out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placing them at Li Qianfan’s feet, saying, “Xiao Fan, hurry and change into the slippers.”
Seeing this scene, Li Qianfan was somewhat puzzled and immediately said, “Brother, no need to be so polite. I can get the slippers myself. You don’t need to do it for me.”
“Xiao Fan, come and sit. I have something I want to ask you.”
After seeing that Li Qianfan had already changed into his slippers, Li Dalong immediately pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Feeling Li Dalong’s serious gaze, Li Qianfan felt a chill down his back and asked softly, “Brother, why did you suddenly call me to come back? Is there something you want to ask me?”
“Yesterday, the money you gave to your sister-in-law, where did it come from?”
A look of serious concern was mixed in Li Dalong’s eyes, fearing that his younger cousin might go down the wrong path.
Upon hearing this, Li Qianfan immediately knew what the other was thinking and said with a smile, “Brother, rest assured, the money I got is clean. I earned it from a big boss.”
“Which big boss? Tell me, let’s see if I’ve heard of them.”
Li Dalong’s brows were knitted into a frown. He had been in the sales circles of Taoyuan County for so many years and had never encountered a boss who would casually give one hundred thousand yuan to a masseur.
Without doing anything out of the ordinary, who would give one hundred thousand yuan?
Truthfully, Li Dalong was very worried that Li Qianfan might be tempted by money to take the wrong path, especially since he was the one who had brought Li Qianfan from the countryside. Even if he hadn’t taken him to treat his eyes yet, if Li Qianfan started down the wrong path, how would he face the villagers back home?
Brother Long is indeed harder to fool than sister-in-law!
Li Qianfan smiled helplessly and spoke frankly, “Brother, do you know Lin Yiren?”
“Lin Yiren??”
After muttering the name a few times, Li Dalong’s eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, “Xiao Fan, are you talking about that Lin Yiren who makes male health products?”
“Yes, that’s her.”
Li Qianfan nodded slightly, “Brother, do you know her?”
Li Dalong lit a cigarette and said, “Of course I know her. She is a well-known female business tycoon in Taoyuan County, with a very big business. Rumor has it, her net worth has already surpassed one billion. In our small Taoyuan County, she is definitely a big shot. Most importantly, she comes from a very influential family. Her father is a significant figure in Zhonghai City.
She’s truly like a daughter to a wealthy family. The Zhang Family is lucky to have such a daughter-in-law, they really struck it rich!”
“That impressive?”
A look of surprise flashed in Li Qianfan’s eyes as he had never expected Lin Yiren’s influence and background to be so strong.
In an instant, the scene from their first meeting flashed through his mind.
Thinking about how a renowned heiress had used her mouth to help him “extinguish a fire,” Li Qianfan felt his body shaking with excitement. Based on Lin Yiren’s looks and capability, she was undoubtedly the dream woman of countless men in Taoyuan County. Enjoy new chapters from empire
And yet such a goddess had done such a thing for him, greatly satisfying his vanity.
“Certainly impressive. Without exaggeration, Lin Yiren is definitely a big player in Taoyuan County. However, I’ve heard that her company hasn’t launched any new products in the past two years and seems to be on a downward slope—don’t know if that’s been resolved or not,” said Li Dalong as he took a pull on his cigarette.
It’s about to be resolved!
With the effects of the Yang Strengthening Pill, we can definitely halt the downhill trend of Lin Yiren’s company, and perhaps even soar to new heights in the male health product sector because of it.
However, I wonder how Lin Yiren’s testing is going right now.
“No wonder you were so generous,” Li Qianfan said with a smile. “I used massage techniques to cure one of her chronic conditions, and she tossed me a hundred thousand dollars just like that. I was puzzled at the time, but turns out she’s wealthy.”
“I was worried before that you might be making money through shady means, but it seems I was overthinking it. After all, Lin Yiren is known in Taoyuan County for her generosity. A lot of people like to cooperate with her, plus, she is quite beautiful, like a little fairy. Too bad you can’t see her!” Li Dalong said, smiling.
“Really? Although I can’t see what she looks like, judging by her voice…”
As he reached this point, Li Qianfan suddenly caught a glimpse of Meng Lin carrying a plate of stir-fried meat out of the kitchen. He quickly changed the subject and said: “Dalong, you’re talking nonsense. In my eyes, my sister-in-law is much prettier than Lin Yiren. If we’re talking about fairies, my sister-in-law is the real fairy… and besides, my sister-in-law’s cooking is delicious.
I don’t know how many times better she is than Lin Yiren.”
“Hey, hey, hey, why are you fibbing like that, can your sister-in-law even compare to… Ow, ow, wifey, have mercy…” While he was speaking, Li Dalong felt a sharp pain in his ear and immediately started begging for mercy.
Meng Lin, holding the plate in one hand and twisting Li Dalong’s ear with the other, said commandingly, “Li Dalong, you’ve got some nerve, discussing other women right under my nose! If you think you can’t compare to Lin Yiren, then go be with her.”
“Darling, I was just spouting nonsense, please don’t be mad,” replied Dalong.
Li Dalong quickly took the plate from Meng Lin’s hand and said with a face full of appeasement, “Wifey, don’t be mad. In front of Xiao Fan, how can I boast about my own wife? That would just be showing off. In my heart, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Forget Lin Yiren, even if Liu Yifei herself showed up, she couldn’t compare to a single hair of yours!”
“Cut it out, just serve the food and stop with the nonsense.”
Meng Lin rolled her eyes in a very scornful expression.
“Got it!” Li Dalong immediately placed the stir-fried meat on the dining table, then picked up the bottle of white liquor from the coffee table and said, “Xiao Fan, come on, let’s have a drink.”
The two sat down at the dining table, and Li Dalong personally filled Li Qianfan’s cup. He said, “Xiao Fan, I actually feel quite embarrassed, bringing you over from the countryside to treat your eyes, and up till now, I haven’t taken you to get them checked. Plus, you’ve had to fork out a hundred thousand for my troubles.
Don’t worry, I will definitely repay this money in the future, and I promise, as soon as I get through this tough time, I will take you to get your eyes treated.”
“Bro, don’t mention it. We might not be blood brothers, but we are closer than real brothers!”
Li Qianfan picked up his cup and said seriously, “Before, you helped me so much. Now that you’re in trouble, I couldn’t just stand by and watch. We’ll work on it together, and I’m sure we’ll get it resolved soon.”
“Xiao Fan, I won’t say more. Everything is in this drink.”
Li Dalong looked up and downed his cup in one go.
Seeing this, Li Qianfan quickly followed suit and emptied his cup as well.
Then, the two of them chatted while drinking, talking about their childhood memories to domestic trivialities, and from domestic trivialities to societal pressures. As the conversation flowed, the topics multiplied, and their drinking pace quickened significantly.
Meng Lin, who had finished cooking, joined them and even had two drinks herself. Not able to hold her liquor, her cheeks turned a rosy red after two cups, as enticing as ripe peaches in the light.
Indeed, a woman slightly tipsy exudes true sex appeal!
“Xiao Fan, you should also find a girlfriend. What type are you into?”
In the midst of their conversation, Li Dalong brought up the subject of settling down. He patted Li Qianfan’s shoulder and said, “There are a lot of single ladies at my workplace. Just tell me your preferences, and I’ll help you find someone.”
Li Qianfan thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t have many requirements, just someone who can lead a steady life is fine.”
“Come on, you already said before, you wanted to find a girl like your sister-in-law. You even said you liked her the best!” exclaimed Meng Lin suddenly, her pretty face blushing as she lifted her head to look at Li Qianfan with a seductive expression.
