Chapter 1503 “Earth (4)”
There’s something Bai Yan didn’t mention as well, that the jade also held other properties which made it far more valuable than mere money. But Ling Lang didn’t need to know that, not yet anyways unless he asks in the future.
Showing a bemoaning face at the extortionary lady, Ling Lang reached into his own pocket and pulled out a credit card: “Here, there’s one million in there, the pass code is 5XXXXX so keep it on you for now. I will get some more later on after notifying the bank. Also, remember to come to me first if you got more jade of this quality in the future.”
In a few days it would be his grandfather’s birthday so he wants to use this jade to offer it as a gift. The filial grandson had a lot of confidence the present would make the old general very happy.
Looking at her clueless cousin’s reluctant face, Bai Yan quickly grabs onto the card like a mischievous fox that had won the exchange. Smirking in the face as she twirled around to leave, “Oh right, I’ll bring the portrait on my next visit so start getting things ready.” That’s all she said before disappearing from the shop.Why do I feel like she knows who I am? Ling Lang complains, feeling ripped off in some way or cheated as a businessman.
…………
A while later.
Bai Yan had just finished getting more things done when she happened to come across a girl in the middle of an open plaza. Around seventeen to eighteen years of age, the clothes on the lass may be worn and faded due to how many times its been washed, but that delicate face couldn’t be hidden. But more importantly, Bai Yan recognizes this individual that’s handing out leaflets to the passersby!
“Bai Yi Yi, you don’t have to work in these low paying jobs you know. Come with me and you will eat well and dress well.” A young man dyed with yellow hair walks up and openly grabbed the lass by the wrist. “What’s so good about this kind of work anyways? With your appearance, I can get you a better job, okay?”
Biting that small lip, Bai Yi Yi showed resentment and hostility towards this person: “Leave me alone, I will not betray my own body! I can make a living perfectly with my own ability, why should I sell my own body out?”
“You’re asking for it Bai Yi Yi!” The yellow-haired thug grew irate and attempts to drag her away by using force.There are of course onlookers nearby in this busy street, they could see the struggle between the pair. However, right as one of the pedestrians wanted to help and break up the scuffle, the most unexpected thing happened.
“What are you looking at, she’s my wife! She ran away with another man and left our baby at home, now I’m taking her back!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Bai Yi Yi cried, trying even harder to free her own wrist now, “I am not your wife, I am not your wife so let go of me! Someone please help, please help me….” She starts whimpering, tear’s muddling her own words.
“Quit making a scene Wife,” the yellow-haired thug softens up in the voice to hide his inner grin, “I know you are unhappy with me not giving you more. I can also forgive you for cheating on me, but just come home with me. Our baby is waiting and is crying for you.”
That brought even more fear and tears to the poor damsel in distress. She had no delusion about what the other side intends to do after he drags her away. By then it won’t just be selling out her body, it would be rape and perhaps more….
“No, I’m not leaving, you let me go, I’m not leaving with you!”
Despite the growing impatient within the yellow-haired thug, the scum at least had the wits to know he couldn’t hit her since there are so many witnesses. Then right as he’s going to use more strength to get the deed done, a sudden impact hits him in the chest and sent him flying.
Confusion promptly broke out among the crowd, corresponded with the turning of their heads at the source where a strong and dominant woman stood with her leg raised high in a kicking posture still.
