Chapter 263: The richer they are, the stingier they get

The night was deep.

Wang Yingna curled up into a ball, leaning against Li Jiaci.

Her face showed a faint blush, and her breathing was still a little unsteady.

Brother Jiaci, this medicinal liquor is really potent!

Will you still drink it tomorrow night?

Upon hearing that,

Li Jiaci put his arm around her smooth shoulders, laughing happily.

Without this liquor, how could I fail to satisfy you?

Wang Yingna shook her head: "It doesn't feel the same!"

Tonight Li Jiaci is truly fierce.

They held each other for a while.

Wang Yingna's eyelids began to flutter, yawns coming one after another.

At that moment.

Li Jiaci suddenly kissed her.

Xiao Na, I, Li Jiaci, will definitely succeed in this lifetime!

I will bring my brothers a good life!

I will make you the happiest woman in the world!

And your brother, all of you must live well!

The future belongs to us!

He said these words no less than three times.

Wang Yingna felt something different each time she heard them.

At first she only thought he was bragging.

Later, gradually, she sensed his sincerity.

Until now.

She trusts Li Jiaci completely.

The words Li Jiaci spoke, the promises he made, have never failed.

Okay, I believe you.

Let's wait together for that day to arrive!

Wang Yingna reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She pressed her head into his chest.

Unbeknownst to them,

The next day.

Mu Cai Chang was without its usual hustle and bustle.

Plus, having drunk liquor last night, Li Jiaci didn't get out of bed until noon.

The brothers were still asleep in the dormitory.

Wang Yingna called out a few times, but there was no response.

Li Jiaci finished washing up, called the Spring Happiness Restaurant, and had their server bring over some food.

The afternoon passed.

The dormitory doors opened one by one.

Wang Yingna walked out yawning, glanced at the equally sleepy few, and couldn't help but smile.

This liquor's power is truly strong; one vat knocked out a whole group!

Zhao Chen waved his hand, saying: "Don't mention it, sister-in-law; I only remember that one second I was drinking with Qiangzi, the next I woke up startled from the dorm bed, I don't even recall when I got back to the dorm!"

He doesn't remember, and neither do the others.

After washing up,

Li Jiaci called everyone over and handed out chopsticks and bowls.

Brother, is this lunch or dinner?

It's already past three? Damn, this is the first time I've been drunk this long!

That's Hong Sao's medicinal liquor that's potent!

Hahaha, I don't know whether Hong Ge is awake or asleep right now!

His drinking capacity isn't as good as Xiao Lan's; he's probably still lying in bed!

……

Several people ate while chatting and laughing.

Li Jiaci finished eating first, put down his utensils, and said: "I'll go to the city later to discuss something with Brother Wang Zhen; I'll leave the factory in your care!"

Then I want to go too!

Wang Yingna quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice.

But suddenly a subtle feeling came over her, making her face flush instantly.

No, I can't go...

Li Jiaci frowned: "What's wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?"

Having said that, he reached out to support her.

Wang Yingna hastily put down her utensils, shyly saying: "That thing's come, I need to go to the restroom!"

What is this?

Liu Jiang looked around.

Zhang Chuqiang, standing to the side, coughed twice and explained a few sentences in his ear.

Liu Jiang, showing an expression of sudden realization, nodded.

Ah, it's just that thing every woman experiences each month—I thought it was something else!

Wang Yingna glared at him embarrassedly, bent over, and ran out.

Not long after.

Li Jiaci then drove off alone.

During this period the factory shut down completely; Wang Zhen handed over full responsibility of the Song and Dance Hall to Wang Li, while he himself followed Changshulin to various banquets.

For convenience, he also purchased a housing unit in the city.

Li Jiaci drove to the entrance of the residential community.

He took out his phone and sent a text message to Wang Zhen.

He asked for the specific building.

He was waiting for the other party to reply to the text.

Then he heard two thuds.

Li Jiaci turned his head and saw Wang Zhen walking up from behind, making a forward gesture.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Li Jiaci smiled and, following Wang Zhen's reminder, drove the car into the residential community.

The two met up at the bottom of a building.

Wang Zhen held a bag of beer in his hand and had a cigarette in his mouth.

Why did you come?

Li Jiaci asked cheerfully, "Wasn't it you who said you had something to discuss with me? I just finished my task at the Anti-Corruption Bureau and came to find you!"

Oh...

I realized lately I've been following Mayor Chang around, drinking eight times a day, my brain's all addled from the drink!

Let's go up first, and we can have dinner afterward!

I had a feeling you'd come—look, I've got plenty of this old liquor!

Wang Zhen was happy either way, hooking his arm around Li Jiaci's shoulder as they entered the building.

This is still an elevator building.

Wang Zhen's apartment is on the twelfth floor.

It faces north to south, with spacious interior.

It also has two large balconies with good lighting.

All the furniture looked especially familiar.

All of it was designed with Li Jiaci's participation.

Don't be polite—make yourself at home, however comfortable you want!

Wang Zhen put down the bag and waved his hand at him.

Hearing that, Li Jiaci teased, "Isn't this just like my own home? Look at this sofa, coffee table, chairs and stools, plus the bed in your bedroom, the cabinets—all furniture I designed!"

Hahaha, I'm not going to pass up the chance to shear my brother-in-law's wool!

All this furniture was transported by Wang Zhen from the Jiaju cheng.

It didn't cost a cent.

Li Jiaci sat on the sofa, took off his shoes for comfort, and put his feet on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen scratched his head, hesitated a moment, and said, "Let you be comfortable, but not this comfortable—I just moved that coffee table yesterday, I couldn't bear to put anything on it, yet you go ahead and put your stinky feet on it!"

So, coming to my brother-in-law's house, I can't just relax as I please, right?

Li Jiaci rubbed his feet on the coffee table.

Wang Zhen felt pained to see that.

He grabbed Li Jiaci's calf and flung it to the side.

He took a piece of paper and gently wiped the coffee table.

Be careful—this coffee table is a bestseller; I borrowed it for a few days and still have to sell it back!

Li Jiaci frowned and complained, "Wang Zhen bro, no wonder people say the richer someone is, the stingier they are—you really opened my eyes!"

Get lost!

Wang Zhen gave him a sideways glance.

Afterward he sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

"Mayor Chang hopes you can resume work soon—after all, they've declared their stance on TV, so give him some face!"

Li Jiaci placed his hands behind his head, adjusted to a comfortable position, and asked, "Is this the matter you wanted to discuss with me?"

Wang Zhen nodded: "Of course! Mayor Chang is worried sick, that guy keeps asking me all day!"
