Chapter 510 - A talented person chooses a patron of integrity

Translator: Thyaeria

Yuan Cui’s liquor capacity was good, but she was also prepared. When she was in the washroom, she had secretly taken some alcohol dissipating tablets, so it’s not a problem even for her to drink five bottles. But for some reason, she felt something amiss, since her body started to heat up along with a dizziness sensation.

Without her knowing, the room was only left with her and Zhen Difei, which he smiled. “You drank a little too much. Let me get a room for you to rest before sending you back home once you’ve sobered up!”

With a flirtatious smile, Yuan Cui replied, “Young Master Zhen, I won’t fall for your trick! For a man and woman to be alone in a room, who knows what you are thinking!”

“What’s wrong? You’re unwilling?” Zhen Difei grinned.

Caressing her hair, Yuan Cui helplessly said, “You’ve drugged the alcohol, right? So what can I do even if I’m unwilling?”

After a brief stun by her words, Zhen Difei awkwardly smiled. “What are you talking about? Why would I do something so despicable?”

All of a sudden, Yuan Cui stood up and pounced at Zhen Difei.

“What if I tell you that I like the feeling now?”

In the end, Zhen Difei underestimated Yuan Cui’s seduction. He realised that he didn’t even need any medication for this woman. As long as the conditions were right, she would definitely throw herself into his arms. Thus, he instantly found it a waste for him to pay such a high price for the aphrodisiac.

Since the two of them had an affinity for each other, the two of them left the restaurant together.

When Zhen Difei disappeared, a man in a suit walked out from the darkness and reported to the walkie-talkie by his waist, “The target has left!”

“Beauty Hotel!” Zhen Difei told the cab driver, which the cab driver acknowledged as he drove off.

Ten-odd seconds later, two vehicles also drove out. Zhen Difei still had no idea that he had already been targeted.

In Di’s Beauty Spa, two women laid on the leather bed and had thick seaweed masks applied on their faces with two lean-built Thai masseurs to massage them.

“Buqing, the service in this spa of yours is pretty good, especially this masseur. His technique is great, and it feels comfortable. In the future, I will definitely visit here more often.” Ye Yifeng sighed out in comfort.

“Big Sister Feng, I’ll give you a 50% discount for your future visits!” Ni Buqing closed her eyes as she enjoyed the massage while she moaned.

They were the younger sister of the Ni Family’s Patriarch, Ni Buqing, and the elder sister of the Ye Family’s Patriarch, Ye Yifeng.

The two of them practically shared a similar lifestyle. They knew each other when they were young, which they constantly fought. But right now, they have become friends.

“The more I think about it, the more I find it a pity. If Huo Kun and Ni Jingqiu got married, then we would have become a family.” Ni Buqing sighed in pity and continued, “Oh, right. How’re Huo Kun’s legs?”

Frowning her brows, Ye Yifeng helplessly replied, “It will take some time for him to walk, but it’s practically impossible for him to recover fully!”

“Huo Kun is an outstanding child, but I never imagined that he would be framed!” Ni Buqing sighed in pity.

However, she knew that Ye Yifeng’s son was trying to be smart and frame someone. In the end, he made himself a disabled person. He’s truly a talent of his own

Instantly, Ye Yifeng’s rage started to burn in her chest as she snapped, “It’s all because of that Su Tao! I will surely make him suffer!”

Even Ni Jingqiu became furious and she joined in, “I also hate that brat! A few days ago, he actually did a ritual in the Ni Family’s residence, causing everyone in the circle to curse and blame me for making Wang Qiaozhen suffer so much grievance for so many years. Two days ago, my son also had his authority in the Ni Family’s private clubhouse removed. He’s clearly trying to become an enemy for both my son and I.”

Taking two deep breaths, Ye Yifeng helplessly replied, “As the saying goes, a woman married out is akin to a bucket of water splashed out. We share the same life now, and our maiden homes have abandoned us.”

“Only you are willing to listen to my grumbles.” Ni Buqing smiled.

Waving her hand to signal the masseur to stop, Ye Yifeng pulled the white blanket to cover her body.

“We can’t just sit and resign ourselves to our fate!”

Even Ni Buqing sat up and waved her hand to signal for the two masseurs to leave, then responded, “You and I happen to have the same view. Truthfully speaking, you and I each possess the bloodlines of the Ye and Ni Families, so why should we be excluded from the family?”

“Actually, many of the elders in the family support me, and I believe that you’re also in control of quite a bit of resource, right?” Ye Yifeng asked.

“That’s right! My brother only has a daughter, and many elders in the family feel that a woman cannot be up for the task. Thus, they hope that my son can be the heir of the Ni Family. I’m preparing to bring Difei into the family register. After all, changing his surname is just a small matter.” Ni Buqing replied.

A brief silence later, Ye Yifeng said, “If we want to obtain authority in the family, then we will have to use some schemes. After all, both of our brothers are still in their prime.”

A vicious smile rose on Ni Buqing’s lips as she replied, “Nowadays, as long as you have the resolution, there are many ways to achieve what you want without anyone knowing!”

Ni Buqing was truly as vicious as rumored. She would do anything to achieve her goals, and she would definitely be a difficult enemy towards opponents.

If Ye Yifeng had a choice, she wouldn’t want to cooperate with this woman. But she was left without a choice since Huo Kun has been reduced to a half-cripple, and her brother has conducted an economic lockdown on her. Thus, she could only resort to external help for her to achieve her motive.

“Oh? Please, enlighten me!” Ye Yifeng narrowed her eyes.

“Don’t be so anxious. Today, we’re only focusing on enjoying ourselves, so let’s leave the vexing matters aside for now. The massage is finished, so I’ll bring you to enjoy the specialised service of this spa.” Ni Buqing smiled

“I’ve long heard that you have quite a few fresh meats hidden here.” Ye Yifeng also smiled.

“You’re wrong! Not only do I have fresh meat, but I also have experienced fermented meat here as well. It depends on your interest!” Ni Buqing swept a glance at Ye Yifeng. For middle-aged women, this female spa was practically a heaven.

As the two of them came to a secluded room, they sat on a couch and the curtain slowly rose. A row of men stood behind the glass with every single one of them having a fit physique. Although they couldn’t see the two women through the glass, they still put on their best pose, since they knew that they’re currently being admired.

Ye Yifeng swiftly chose a man on the right and smiled. “I like muscular guys, they give a sense of security.”

Raising her thumbs, Ni Buqing replied, “You have good eyesight. He’s an intellectual who returned from overseas and occasionally visits here, hoping to expand his connections. Oh, right. He might not lack money, but he’s not cheap since it’s considered a threshold for him as a filter!”

Glaring at Ni Buqing, Ye Yifeng sourly replied, “Are you possibly afraid that I can’t afford him?”

Taking over a mask from the side, Ni Buqing smiled. “Go and enjoy our ultimate service!”

Ye Yifeng did not refuse and left with a smile on her face under the lead of a staff member.

The moment Ye Yifeng left, Ni Buqing’s gaze turned solemn before she swiftly came to the second floor. There’s already a guest waiting there for her.

“May I wonder why is Imperial Uncle paying a visit so late?” Ni Buqing saw Tong Zuoqing grabbing onto a piece of antique in the room, studying it.

All of a sudden, that Ming Dynasty’s porcelain fell onto the ground and shattered. Tong Zuoqing stuck his hands out with a wry smile. “I’m sorry that I broke your stuff!”

Sourly glaring at Tong Zuoqing, Ni Buqing helplessly waved her hand.

“On the contrary, I must thank you instead for getting rid of the imitation for me. Otherwise, I’d be a joke when an expert sees it!”

“You’re as smart as always. There’s no issue with the porcelain; it’s genuine. But there’s a saying in antiques that flawed porcelains are worthless. Although this porcelain has been repaired by experts, anyone versed in antiques would be able to see through the flaws. Since it has already shattered once, then there’s no harm for it to shatter again. I’ll introduce you to someone better to repair it, and I guarantee that even someone at my standards won’t be able to see anything wrong with it.”

As he spoke, he bent down and carefully took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully gathered the fragments.

“If Imperial Uncle was present when I made the transaction, I wouldn’t have been fooled.” Ni Buqing smiled.

After Tong Zuoqing stowed the fragments, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s get into business. I’m here representing Young Master Qin to seek cooperation with you!”

“Oh?” Ni Buqing locked her brows together and asked with a smile, “Qin Jingyu? Since when are you his advisor?”

Letting out a sigh, Tong Zuoqing replied, “As the saying goes, a talented person chooses a patron of integrity. In the entire country, those that can surpass Young Master Qin can be counted on the fingers on one hand. The reason why I put such an effort in him is because I hope that he can provide me with a resting place when I retire.”

Tong Zuoqing was someone with meticulous thoughts, and it was the same as how his ancestors buried a bunch of antiques in the courtyard for their future generations; the reason why he helped Qin Jingyu was also for his future.

He’s a unique person that wouldn’t offend anyone. Even despite the chaotic factions in Beijing, he still lived pretty well, while standing in the neutral faction.

“It seems that Qin Jingyu is coveting the Ni Family’s gold mine!” Ni Buqing spoke after a brief silence.

Forcefully waving his hand, Tong Zuoqing replied, “That’s right. As long as you promise to help the Qin Family enter the gold mine industry, Young Master Qin will give you all his support.”

“Then, that will depend on Young Master Qin’s sincerity!” Ni Buqing smiled.

Suddenly, Tong Zuoqing flipped his hand and reminded, “Let me give you a gift in advance. Your son is currently fooling around in Beauty Hotel, and he has no idea that he is being watched and fell into their trap like a fool. If you’re late, then I’m afraid your son will suffer the same outcome as Huo Kun with his reputation ruined!”

With a grave expression, Ni Buqing immediately took out her phone and made a call. “Quick, arrange for someone to head to the Beauty Hotel! Difei is in danger!”

Waving his hand at Ni Buqing, Tong Zuoqing smiled. “It seems like Young Master Qin’s analysis is right. You’re more cautious and smart than Ye Yifeng. I believe that the cooperation between you and Young Master Qin will be an enjoyable one!”
