Chapter 143 Yousll Inherit Everything After You Sleep with Her (1/2)
After quite a number of phone calls from the two women, Fang Qingping was persuaded to come to S City. Zhao Jiali had deliberately asked to meet him at her hotel. She had also asked Li Xiaoru to accompany her to the meeting.
”Come, Xiaoru! Let me introduce you.” Zhao Jiali grinned as she pointed at Fang Qingping seated across them. ”This is Fang Lu's brother. He just returned from overseas. If you're free this weekend, why don't you bring the siblings around town and act as their tour guide?!”
When she heard that the man was Fang Lu's brother, Li Xiaoru started treating Fang Qingping amiably. Glancing at Zhao Jiali, Fang Qingping smiled.
That night, he smacked Zhao Jiali's ass once as she was climbing off her body. ”What are you and Fang Lu planning?”
Before Zhao Jiali could answer, the doorbell rang. Fang Lu walked in excitedly, not minding at all the fact that Fang Qingping was naked and that Zhao Jiali only had a bra on. Fang Lu plopped herself down on the couch and lit a cigarette. After that, she began talking about her and Fang Lu's plan.
”Not interested!” Fang Qingping said with a shrug after they had told him everything.
Fang Lu shot him a glance. ”Bro, father is in good health right now. You'll have to wait for another twenty years to inherit everything from him. That old man Li is already past seventy. If you marry Li Xiaoru, who knows you might inherit the entire Li company by next year.”
”I'm not desperate for money. What do I want the Li family's inheritance for?” Fang Qingping smiled and glanced at the two women. ”You two sure know how to scheme. However, it's still hard to tell who's going to reap the most benefit when the time comes.”
Zhao Jiali leaned against him. ”Oh, come on. We're both your women. We'll help you handle the company when the time comes. You're free to do whatever you want. You don't have to give a damn about Li Xiaoru at all.”
”I only like women. And I like women who will fall into bed with me willingly.” Fang Qingping stood up and slowly got dressed. ”I'm not interested in whatever you two are planning. And I think it's best for you to forget the whole thing.” He reminded Zhao Jiali. ”Your husband is smart enough to build his family business to the point it is today. Do it at your own risk.”
The door slammed shut as Fang Qingping left the room. ”Damn it!” Fang Lu punched the table as she stared after Fang Qingping's departure. ”What do we do now?”
A dark, savage scowl formed on Zhao Jiali's face as she tossed the ashtray onto the floor angrily. ”We'll find another way. I refuse to believe that we can't find the right man for the job.”
Shi Qianqian and Ding Lei returned a week before Xin Qing's wedding. When she returned, Shi Qianqian called Xin Qing. Xin Qing told Shi Qianqian to meet her at the hotel she was currently staying at.
”Why are you staying in a hotel for no reason at all?” Shi Qianqian asked as she took out the gift she had brought with her.
Beside them, Zhang Mi rolled her eyes. ”His man's got a bad case of prenuptial anxiety. It's like his mind just won't stop jumping from one thing to another. Everything was fine and dandy, but all of a sudden, he insisted on having the entire house renovated. Now the entire family is forced to stay at a hotel.”
”Oh, that's normal. My house has been renovated, too,” Shi Qianqian said casually.
”What? When? How come we don't know about it?” Zhang Mi and Xin Qing said at the same time.
Shi Qianqian distributed the gifts and then she looked at the two women who were staring back at her expectantly. ”Oh, we bought a new house. We'll move in tomorrow.”
”What? Where?”
”Didn't your man tell you?” Shi Qianqian asked. ”We got it with his help.”
Xin Qing gaped in shock. ”How dare him?! He never told me!”
”Don't tell me you guys bought the second phase villa behind their house?” Zhang Mi clapped her hands together. ”I heard Ying Enterprises has made investments in it.”
Shi Qianqian nodded. ”That's right. Basically, the place is half a hill top away from Xin Qing's house.”
”Seriously?” Xin Qing was overjoyed. ”Then from now on, we'll be neighbors!”
Zhang Mi's lips twisted in disdain. ”Oh yeah, everything's working out just fine and dandy for you two. What about me?”
”Why do you even need a villa for if you're living alone? Well, if you want, we could always empty out our storage room for you,” Shi Qianqian teased. Zhang Mi raised her fist and uttered an oath, ”I swear I'll find a man for myself who's also staying in that same area!”
Xin Qing looked at her. ”Um, Young Master Shen's living there too...”
Zhang Mi shot her a dirty look. ”That's an animal's house. I'm human.”
That night, humanity's imperceptible sins were shrouded by the twinkling city lights and the air of hedonism. Morality was trampled by the vicious beast that was greed.
Li Xiaoru shut her eyes and slumped against the couch. Fang Lu refilled her glass with more alcohol.
”Come! Come! Xiaoru, have another drink.”
Li Xiaoru waved her hands. ”Fang Lu, I can't drink anymore. I feel sick.”
Fang Lu pressed down on Li Xiaoru's hand and then brought the glass to Li Xiaoru's mouth. ”Come on. Have one more glass. Last one! It's rare that we have a chance to come out and have some fun. I'll send you home if you get drunk!” After that, Fang Lu poured the liquor into Li Xiaoru's mouth. Li Xiaoru's chin was raised; she did not have the strength to push away. After finishing the glass, Li Xiaoru threw up.
”Let me help you to the washroom!” Fang Lu pulled Li Xiaoru to her feet, though the latter pushed her away. ”It's fine. I can go on my own.”
Fang Lu watched as Li Xiaoru stumbled out of the booth. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. ”Everything's set. Get ready. We're about to head out.”
In her haze, Li Xiaoru bumped into someone on her way out of the washroom. ”Oh, I'm so sorry... I didn't see you.”
Chen Ming reached out and stilled the woman who was about to smack face-first into his chest. A look of disdain and contempt flashed across his eyes. When he saw her face, however, his heart stopped. ”It's her?” he thought.
”Are you okay?” Chen Ming helped the woman to her feet. ”You here alone?”
Li Xiaoru raised her head and saw Chen Ming. All of a sudden, joy filled her face. ”You, you're the one who sent me to the hospital that day!” she yelled.
”That's just a trivial matter, and yet you still remember it.” Chen Ming frowned when he noticed that the woman could hardly remain upright at this point. ”How did you get so drunk? Let me send you home!”
Li Xiaoru nodded. ”Thank you so much. God, my head is spinning so hard right now.”
