When Tang Muxin came home, Tang Ruisi was smoking on the sofa. Tang Muxin dived toward her father, put her hands around his neck, and effeminately said, “Daddy, Dali bullied me!”

Hearing that his beloved daughter got bullied, Tang Ruisi paused for a while before he smiled and said, “Oh? To think there would come a day when our Xinxin would get bullied? Tell Daddy, what did he do to bully you?”

“I was...” Before Tang Muxin could continue, her face flushed red. As a matter of fact, what happened was that she wanted to get bullied but it didn’t happen. That was a weird feeling. She quickly changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about it. It’s too embarrassing to be bullied by that prodigal son!”

Tang Ruisi laughed. “Haha. Okay, we won’t talk about it!”

This young lady had her emotions all displayed on her face. If her daddy couldn’t tell what was going on, he would have lived in vain.

Tang Muxin massaged Tang Ruisi’s shoulders with her delicate hands and asked, “Daddy, how is your company? How far has the development progressed?”

Tang Rusi gave a mighty laugh. “En, our Xinxin is indeed the most thoughtful. There’s no problem with the company currently. I’ve arranged for Qiu Qiu to be in the company as per Dali and your idea. This lad is full of energy. Everything seems good so far, thanks to you and Dali.”

Hearing her father mention Qiu Qiu, who graduated from medical school, made Tang Muxin laugh. “Qiu Qiu? Hehe. Daddy, you were not aware, but Dali was fooling around. Qiu Qiu’s girlfriend had broken up with him that day, and we happened to hear it. Dali suddenly asked his lackey to buy a stuffed pancake, a golden chain, a house key, and a car key. Nobody knew what he was up to.”

Tang Ruisi got curious. What link did their breaking up have to do with these items? “Oh? Whatever for? What were those used for?”

Tang Muxin giggled as she continued to massage her daddy’s shoulders. “Hear me out. That materialistic girl said, ‘do you think stuffed pancakes fall from thesky ¹ ? It’s easy for you to talk about raising your salary.’ The lackey then threw the stuffed pancake from the upper levels, and it fell beside the girl with a splat!”

Hearing Tang Muxin talk about Hong Dali’s glorious achievements, Tang Ruisi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Hahahahaha! Interesting! Haha! Let me guess, did the girl continue by saying that gold would drop from the sky, and Dali’s lackey then threw the golden chain down?”

Tang Muxin said, “Hehe. That’s right. He even threw the house key and car key. Daddy, you didn’t see, but the girl’s expression was too fascinating. Haha.”

“That’s for sure. Haha. Dali is really an interesting lad.” Tang Muxin continued to massage him and Tang Ruisi patted her hand and said, “All right. You go rest early. Hehe. I need to go through some more documents.”

“En, okay. I’ll go to bed first, then.” As Tang Muxin skipped to her bedroom, closed the door and lied on the bed, her heart started to race. “Dali is an idiot! Serves him right if he can’t find a girlfriend his whole life! Humph!”

She thought for a little more and then fell asleep.

To be truthful, if Hong Dali were the kind who was good at making girls happy, Tang Muxin would be even more worried.

...

On the other hand.

When Liang Yifeng’s car arrived at Rich Days, the magnificent five-star hotel, a handsome doorman quickly opened his door. Liang Yifeng casually threw his car key to him and asked calmly, “Is Miss Tai Yajing here?”

The doorman promptly replied, “Yes. She’s waiting for you at the Golden Years room on level three.”

“Okay.” Liang Yifeng entered the main door of the Rich Days Hotel and attracted much attention. He might not be a famous person, but everyone enjoyed looking at good looking men and beautiful ladies. When a man was good looking to a certain extent, they brought about the same effects as a beautiful lady.

Especially when the super good looking bachelor turned up in a public place alone, several young ladies’ hearts fluttered. At many a time, the difference between men and women were not that vast.

The way up was smooth, and he soon arrived at the door of the Golden Years room on level three. As Liang Yifeng entered, the big starlette Tai Yajing smiled sweetly as she stood up to welcome him.

Liang Yifeng picked a seat near the window. Tai Yajing waited for him to sit down before she started to order some dishes. Meanwhile, Liang Yifeng stared outside the window in a daze.

Tai Yajing gazed at the familiar face quietly, suddenly feeling unfamiliar.

Liang Yifeng’s messy hair made him look a little listless and casually decadent. As someone who had been proficient in poetry and literature from an early age, he looked ever refined.

Liang Yifeng spoke warmly all of a sudden. “Yajing, I heard you were rather close to Hong Anbao from the Hong Family?”

Tai Yajing slowly shook her head. “En, I was. But it’s a pity. His self-esteem is too high, and he is overconfident. He doesn’t listen to anyone, so it’s hard for him to become a great person.”

Liang Yifeng smiled and said, “We have known each other for two years now? Let’s not mention the past. But as a friend, heed my advice, don’t stand on the wrong side. Otherwise, it won’t be a pretty sight.”

Tai Yajing was shocked. “Do you mean Hong Dali? That superprodigal?”

Liang Yifeng smiled faintly and gently caressed Tai Yajing’s soft and supple cheeks. He laughingly said, “Speaking of which, after our night together, you left quite an impression on me. What I said earlier was a gentle reminder. Listen if you wish. But it’s also okay if you don’t.”

He suddenly smiled and said, “Aye, you should be the spokesperson for skincare products. The lotus that emerges from clear water, a beauty with the flesh of ice and bones of jade was such.”

They were both engrossed in the ambiguous exchange of eyes and the affectionate teasing.

Tai Yajing tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes, enjoying his touch like a lazy kitten.

Being in the entertainment business, once impure, one could only continue to sink.

Liang Yifeng had been in the entertainment business and was familiar with its rules. He had come across countless women. Naturally, he wouldn’t mind Tai Yajing looking for someone else. He just smiled and said, “If that’s not the case, why do you think I came today? To be honest, everyone in the entertainment business understands the rules. But you really shouldn’t follow that jerk Hong Anbao.”

Tai Yajing lowered her head. “Thank you for your reminder. We depend on our youth and faces to earn money. How long can we survive? I had indeed intended to find a better man to spend the rest of my life with while I’m still young. But I never thought Hong Anbao would be such a useless guy. What do you suggest, then?”

Liang Yifeng chuckled and said, “I do have a suggestion. But listen as you wish. It’s still up to you whether you wish to do it.”

Tai Yajing bit her lips. “Okay. I agree! As long as you say it, I’ll do as you wish.”

“Seems like you’ve thought it through.” If it were in the past, Liang Yifeng would just impolitely suggest going up to the hotel room after dinner. But since he had seen Lin Zixuan, no other women could interest him. He smiled and said, “Forget it. I won’t talk about the terms. I just want to remind you that even if you don’t become Hong Dali’s friend, don’t become his enemy. Choose the right side to stand on at the right time, then quietly retire and leave. That would be the best decision.”

Tai Yajing was shocked. “You want me to leave?”

Liang Yifeng smiled. “That’s right. You have to actually leave, but that’s not the point here. The point is to choose the right side.”

Having said that, he mumbled something to himself. “Aye, speaking of which, it’s time I join the entertainment business. Dali said he’ll make me a program. ‘Old Liang and the World.’ Will you come? I think this program will make it.”

Tai Yajing mumbled to herself. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Old Liang and the World? Yes! I’ll go!”

Liang Yifeng had made himself clear, she’d be a fool if she didn’t understand him. “But I’m not too smart. Hope you don’t mind me.”

Liang Yifeng laughed. “Hahaha. I would never mind a clever woman.”

Done with the serious topic, Tai Yajing was more relaxed. She sat near Liang Yifeng and pouted as she held Liang Yifeng’s laughing face. She shyly said, “You scared me. My heart is still thumping now!”

Liang Yifeng aggrievedly said, “I’m doing this for your own good! After all, we’ve had a thing together. And we worked well together. I can’t bear to see your future go down.”

Tai Yajing saw that Liang Yifeng finally joked with her and tried to hide her happiness. She put up an unhappy front. “Only what you say makes sense. But, is Hong Dali really so great?”

Liang Yifeng leaned back on his chair and used his hands to nest his head. He smiled and said, “You won’t understand even if I told you. I always thought Hong Dali was just a famous prodigal son from the Hong Family, and also a fellow that just fooled around. But now that I see it, I’ve never been more wrong. This fellow is generous with money, and his luck is overboard. If you stand on Hong Anbao’s side, I won’t be surprised if you become paralyzed from getting hit by a flower pot some day. Seriously.”

Tai Yajing was shocked and stuck out her tongue. “Is it that scary?! You and your weird antics, scaring me to have fun.”

Liang Yifeng mumbled, “I’m speaking the truth. You don’t know. After I went to Hong Dali’s coming of age ceremony that day, I wanted to try if my luck got better. So I went to buy a lottery ticket.”

Tai Yajing asked, “And then?”

“I won 200,000.”

Tai Yajing: “...”
