Chapter 238: Xuelai (1)
Xuelai looked with disdain at the bald man sitting opposite her. The man was covered in dragon tattoos, and the claws of the dragons were exposed from his sleeves, staring at the calm-as-water Xuelai with a show of force.
The man tapped the table and asked: "Manager Xue, have you thought it over?"
Xuelai glanced at him contemptuously and slowly picked up the coffee cup in front of her. The bright red lipstick print on the clean edge of the cup complemented each other, looking deeply affectionate.
"Think clearly!" the man said viciously: "Everyone is in the underworld; we give each other face. Don't force me."
"What do you want to do?" Xuelai said in a sweet voice, her expression calm. She hadn't wanted to come when she received the man's call, but the man said that if she didn't come, he would go to Xinlinyin to find her.
"Get rid of it." The man made a gesture: "It's good for everyone."
"What if I don't get rid of it?" A faint smile appeared on Xuelai's face as she put down the cup: "Is this He Jiaxiao's idea?"
The man hesitated for a moment; he didn't know who He Jiaxiao was. He was a famous boss in the Hengyue City underworld. He was just entrusted by Wu Qian and took ten thousand yuan from Wu Qian to make the woman in front of him get rid of the child in her belly.
"It's my idea." The man said, deliberately opening his shirt to reveal a fierce dragon on his chest.
"What does it have to do with you?" Xuelai was a bit angry. She didn't know this man, but she understood that he must have been entrusted by someone to find her.
She laughed in her heart. She had finally gotten the attention of the little man who was crazy in the car, and she was moving toward her goal.
Xuelai was born in a family that grew Chinese cabbage in the north. Her parents worked hard all year and couldn't earn enough money to buy her a new piece of clothing. She swore to let herself live the life of a city person. So, at the age of sixteen, the skinny Xuelai said goodbye to her tearful parents and followed her neighbor's sister to the southern city of Shenzhen.
Xuelai first worked as a waitress in a hotel restaurant. She received a salary of over one hundred yuan in the first month. She kept ten yuan to buy women's necessities and sent the rest back to her hometown.
Sixteen-year-old Xuelai had her first period, showing the characteristics of her becoming a woman.
The south was soft, and in less than a year, sixteen-year-old Xuelai had grown into a beautiful and moving young woman. Standing there, she was a piece of scenery.
The hotel boss let her work as a receptionist, adding twenty yuan to her monthly salary. Twenty yuan was like a diamond to Xuelai, making her unable to resist the temptation. So, every day, she stood at the hotel entrance in a cheongsam like a beautiful peach blossom, causing passing men to look back and steal glances. Often, drunk guests would rush in front of her and ask for her phone number. There was once a Hong Kong old man who entrusted people to send her a rose every day for half a year. In the end, he didn't get Xuelai's phone number. The old man felt uncomfortable and ran to Xuelai's hotel in person, bluntly saying he wanted to keep her.
Xuelai wasn't angry, nor did she pay attention to him. The old man pulled her clothes and shouted noisily at the hotel entrance. Xuelai was afraid and cried. The old man told the onlookers that he had spent over ten thousand yuan on her, and she wouldn't even let him hold her hand; he had lost out.
The onlookers laughed and booed. The old man didn't care and still wanted to pull Xuelai away, and no one among the bystanders tried to persuade him. The hotel boss knew the Hong Kong old man and knew he was a person who couldn't be offended, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, not showing his face at all.
Xuelai cried loudly, begging the few sisters she usually got along with to help speak up.
The sisters were all people who had left their hometowns. Seeing that the boss didn't come out to speak, how could they have the courage to help?
At this time, the boss of Xinlinyin appeared. The boss of Xinlinyin went to Shenzhen for an inspection and happened to stay at Xuelai's hotel.
The boss of Xinlinyin didn't have Xinlinyin at the time; he only had an old Lin Yin restaurant.
Seeing Xuelai crying, the boss of Xinlinyin went over to persuade the Hong Kong old man. The old man saw at a glance that the man in front of him was from the mainland, with a rustic air, and scolded him with disdain.
The boss of Xinlinyin endured it, but in the end, he couldn't hold back. He threw a punch, knocked out one of the old man's front teeth, and took Xuelai back to Hengyue City overnight.
Xuelai followed him to Hengyue City in a daze, intending to give herself to him.
The boss of Xinlinyin was in his thirties, looked spirited, and had a virtuous wife and children at home, so he didn't have this intention at all. He had been impulsive at the time, punched the old man, and threw his original intention of investing in a hotel in Shenzhen to the back of his mind. He was regretting his recklessness and worrying when he heard that Xuelai had this intention, so he refused immediately.
Xuelai was desperate. She left a note and quietly returned to Shenzhen.
This time, Xuelai didn't go to the hotel to work as a receptionist. She chose to go to the nightclub where money came quickly and worked as a hostess who didn't go out at the Jade Pearl Nightclub.
The Hong Kong old man's nose was sharper than a dog's. On the night Xuelai had just finished her first month, he brought a few people and broke into the nightclub, naming Xuelai to accompany him for drinks.
That night, Xuelai was forced to drink more than a pound of Blue Ribbon foreign liquor. Dazed, she was taken to the Pengnian Hotel by the old man. When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying naked on the bed, her lower body burning with pain. Remembering what happened last night, she realized she had fallen into the old man's trap.
Xuelai didn't make a scene, but charmingly called the old man "husband." The old man was overjoyed, thinking he had really conquered this little woman. Last night, he had been flustered, fearing Xuelai would wake up, so he acted in a hurry. After the act, he discovered that the woman lying under him was still a virgin, and besides fear, he felt more excitement. Even so, he didn't dare to act rashly and waited peacefully for Xuelai to wake up and explode in a storm.
He didn't expect Xuelai to say a sweet "husband," making the old man feel like he had entered a happy heaven.
The old man ran a toy factory in Shenzhen. The cashier in the factory was originally his distant relative. To show his loyalty to Xuelai, the old man fired the cashier and wanted Xuelai to go to the factory to work.
Xuelai refused, saying that since she followed him, she should be a wealthy lady; how could she still go to the factory to work? This move of "playing hard to get" had an immediate effect. The old man was convinced that this little woman would follow him wholeheartedly, so he insisted that Xuelai go, saying that he would only feel at ease if the money was in her hands.
Xuelai pretended to be very reluctant and went to work as a cashier. She worked for half a year, and the accounts were perfectly accurate.
It happened that the old man received a large order, and the other party sent a down payment of 1.5 million. The old man called Xuelai and said that after finishing this big order, he would take Xuelai back to Hong Kong, and he wanted to marry Xuelai.
How could Xuelai marry an old guy who was about to go into the ground? She came up with an idea, saying that her parents in her hometown were sick and needed a sum of money. The old man gave her fifty thousand without a second thought. Xuelai then said that she was pregnant with his baby, and if she went back to see her parents, she was afraid it wouldn't be convenient.
Hearing that Xuelai was pregnant, the old man was so happy he didn't know his own name. He immediately untied the safe key from his waist and handed it to Xuelai, saying he would go to the Northeast to see Xuelai's parents himself, and Xuelai should rest at ease in Shenzhen to nourish the fetus and her spirit.
Xuelai gave the old man a fake address. After sending the old man to the plane, she went straight home, opened the old man's safe, took a newly bought suitcase, put all the cash inside, and left a note saying she was going to find a place to have the baby and would meet again in three years.
When Xuelai first came to Shenzhen, because she was underage, her neighbor's sister helped her get a fake ID card. From then on, Xuelai had always used it, so no one knew Xuelai's real name and home address.
Xuelai, who had the money, didn't dare to go home. After thinking about it, she had to come to Hengyue City again to find the boss of Xinlinyin. It happened that Xinlinyin opened, so she went to work as a catering manager, and she had been there ever since.
"Manager Xue, you know the rules of the underworld. Take people's money, eliminate disasters for them. Don't make things difficult for me." The bald man lit a cigarette and said gloomily.
His words pulled Xuelai back from her memories, and it hurt her heart.
"Are you threatening me?" Xuelai stood up and threw down a sentence: "I won't talk to you. Whatever tricks you have, bring them out, I'll take them. I don't believe that in this world, it's really the world of the underworld?"
The bald man was clearly angry at what she said and pointed at himself: "You don't know who I am yet, do you?"
Xuelai didn't want to know who he was at all. Who he was had nothing to do with her, Xuelai.
"Go and ask around. Everyone in the underworld calls me Brother Long. Even your boss at Xinlinyin has to give me some face." The bald man crushed the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up as well, and said: "I'll give you three days to consider. Three days later, if Manager Xue doesn't handle it, I'll come and handle it for you."
The man called Brother Long lifted the curtain and went out. Xuelai saw several burly men coming out of the surrounding booths, following Brother Long's butt, and walking away.
Xuelai was a person who had seen big storms and waves, and she wasn't scared by Brother Long. In fact, she wasn't pregnant at all. She had followed He Jiaxiao on the car ride just because he was the son of Municipal Party Secretary He.
She wouldn't offend a playboy like He Jiaxiao!
But she never expected that He Jiaxiao would make a move on her in the car, making her feel like she was being raped again in her panic.
Xuelai had never felt anything good about things between men and women. Since she lost her virginity for the first time, she understood a principle: the thing between a woman's legs could overturn the world.
Xuelai knew many officials, big and small, in Hengyue City. Even Secretary He, although he didn't come often, she wasn't a stranger to him.
From the moment she entered Secretary He's private room and her eyes met He Jiaxiao's, she knew that something would definitely happen between them, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
When He Jiaxiao was speeding on the outer ring road with her, she quietly sized up this Young Master He. He looked good, and most importantly, he was covered in a halo that money couldn't buy.
He Jiaxiao stopped the car and wanted to pull her out of the car to look at the stars. She knew the little man in front of her was hiding his nervousness, so she gave a sweet smile and deliberately stretched out her white thighs, making a lazy stretching posture.
Xuelai was very charming, with all kinds of amorous feelings between her eyebrows, and she had both the shyness of a young girl and the amorous feelings of a mature woman. He Jiaxiao couldn't hold back and reached out to hug her.
Xuelai pushed his hand away, opened her red lips lightly, and said: "You have to think about the consequences." ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
