Chapter 645: Chu Ning's Request

After settling the matter at Starlight Financial Investment Company, Chen Yang made a trip to the villa of the East Jiang Business Alliance on Jiangmen Dao.

Chu Ning had already returned. Because there was a board meeting, Chen Yang didn't have time to go to the airport to pick her up.

However, as soon as Chen Yang entered the villa, he saw Chu Ning's two bodyguards looking at him nervously. Even as they brushed past him, they subconsciously shifted their positions.

It was obvious that Chu Ning had not yet dispelled the rumor that he likes men.

Of course, it's also possible that this woman never intended to help him clear the rumor at all.

"Chen Yang, you're here?"

Chu Ning wore a light blue patterned dress and gave Chen Yang a charming smile.

"Chu Miss, what have you been up to in Goat City lately? Why is my reputation getting worse?" Chen Yang expressed strong dissatisfaction with Chu Ning's inaction.

Chu Ning said dismissively: "You don't even go to Goat City, so why worry about what those people say? Besides, that's gossip my sister spread—what does it have to do with me?"

Chen Yang glanced behind him, saw that Chu Ning's two bodyguards hadn't followed in, quickly lifted her up, and gave her firm butt a hard slap. He said angrily: "Heartless, the trouble I got into because your sister misunderstood me—it's all because of you."

Chu Ning hooked her arms around Chen Yang's neck and laughed: "You deserve it—out of all the reasons to reject her, you picked the worst one."

Chen Yang sighed: "I didn't expect your sister to be so open-minded; she doesn't care about my past at all. After living this long, I've discovered for the first time that I have this much charm."

"Don't get full of yourself!" Chu Ning gave Chen Yang a sideways glance and said: "My sister is only after a steady meal ticket because she's out of money. If you were penniless, would she even give you the time of day?"

Chen Yang asked, bewildered: "The Chu family is huge and wealthy—isn't that enough for her to spend?"

Chu Ning said helplessly: "Ever since my sister defied the family's order and divorced on her own, Grandfather issued a decree forbidding anyone from giving her financial support."

Chen Yang asked curiously: "If your sister is under an economic blockade, how does she still have money to drive a Ferrari?"

Chu Ning replied: "The Ferrari belongs to her ex-husband. When they divorced, she took that car. Since she has no living expenses, she often goes to my Fragrance-Retaining Pavilion to mooch food and drink."

Chen Yang thought Chu Min was really something—she kicked out her rich second-generation husband before even finding a new place to go. She really left herself no retreat.

However, a woman this crazy—her ex-husband probably can't stand her either.

At that moment, Chu Ning suddenly pleaded: "Dear, I transferred twenty million yuan to my sister via an HSBC account. Can you use that money to help her earn a bit more in the stock market?"

Chen Yang was a bit afraid of Chu Min's relentless nagging and hesitated: "The stock market is very risky. Making money is fine, but if she loses, she'll probably pester me every day."

Chu Ning rested her head on Chen Yang's shoulder and whispered: "Dear, just help her out. Otherwise she'll tell Grandfather about us."

Chen Yang's body involuntarily trembled, and he said in horror to Chu Ning: "How could you possibly tell Chu Min about us?"

Chu Ning sighed, feeling helpless: "I don't want to tell her either. She's too sly, constantly trying to trap me with her words, and in the end she succeeded..."

Chen Yang set Chu Ning down, sat on the sofa to think for a while, and felt he still couldn't let Chu Min lead him by the nose.

Human desires are endless. Chu Min loves money so much that not even twenty million, let alone two hundred million, would necessarily satisfy her.

"Chu Ning, ask your sister how much she actually wants. If it's too much, I suggest we just come clean to your family about our relationship."

Chu Ning frowned slightly and said: "If my family opposes us being together, what should we do?"

Chen Yang said seriously: "If your family opposes us, we can face and solve the problem together. If your sister makes endless demands, not only will our relationship be over, but your sisterly bond will also break. Do you want that outcome?"

Chu Ning quickly shook her head. She picked up her phone, dialed Chu Min's number, and after the call connected, she handed the phone to Chen Yang.

"Hey, Ning girl, have you seen Chen Yang?"

Chen Yang gave a light cough, then said into the phone: "Chu Min, how much money do you want? Just name your price!"

"Chen Yang? Are you trying to keep me as a kept woman?"

"No! I'm talking about my affair with Chu Ning—how much money would it take for you to keep quiet?"

"Haha, you finally admitted it, huh? You're quite something—pretending to be gay just to turn me down. Am I really that unappealing to you?"

"Cough, can we drop this topic? Since you already know, you should understand my predicament."

"Hmph, don't you have enough women around you? I don't mind, yet you look down on me. Want to shut me up? First fork out ten billion to spend..."

Chen Yang hung up the phone directly. Liu Qingqing bore him two children before getting five hundred million. This Chu Min hasn't even slept with him and already demands ten billion—she's tougher than Zhang Ziqiang!

"Dear, isn't my sister's request excessive?" Chu Ning saw Chen Yang's face wasn't looking good and asked concernedly.

"Your sister wants ten billion—would you agree to that?" Chen Yang looked at Chu Ning helplessly.

"No way?" Chu Ning also jumped in shock. She knew her sister—she loves money, but she rarely opens her mouth wide for strangers.

At that moment, Chu Min's phone rang again. Chen Yang didn't answer, simply handed the phone back to Chu Ning. She quickly picked up and chatted for several minutes before hanging up.

"Dear, my sister was just joking with you—you don't need to overreact."

Chen Yang directly asked Chu Ning: "How much does she actually want?"

Chu Ning said: "She just wants you to pick a promising US stock and then tell her at what price she should sell it."

Chen Yang asked again, uneasy: "Are there no other conditions?"

Chu Ning shook her head and explained: "My sister just wants to personally experience the thrill of the US stock market, but she's worried about losing everything. That's why she wants you, an expert, to give her some advice."

Chen Yang reminded her: "The stock market is hardly different from a casino. If your sister gets addicted and gets in too deep, I won't take responsibility!"

Chu Ning nodded: "My sister isn't a child; she knows what she's doing."

Seeing Chu Ning willing to indulge her cousin in stock-market losses and unwilling to make their relationship public, Chen Yang could only reluctantly accept the task.

As he was leaving, he suddenly asked Chu Ning's two bodyguards: "Do you guys like men?"

"No!"

"You haven't even tried—how do you know you don't like it?"

"Maybe you actually like it deep down, you just haven't realized it yet."
