"Don't come begging me. You were all so arrogant when you left yesterday. How did things change so quickly? Didn't you call me a stinky farmer yesterday!"
Ye Tiancheng's words made Sun Yanli realize that she had indeed offended them deeply. They were now unable to show their faces, and this had led to a series of losses. Therefore, they had to humble themselves before Ye Tiancheng and could no longer maintain their arrogance, as they simply lacked the capital for it.
"I was truly ignorant yesterday. I can apologize. If you're not satisfied, I can even kneel for you. I just hope you're not angry with me anymore. I hope you can help us through this difficulty. If you can, we can offer ten thousand yuan as a thank you fee."
When Ye Tiancheng heard this, he suddenly felt it was somewhat interesting, as ten thousand yuan was not a small amount. As long as he received this ten thousand yuan, any dissatisfaction in his heart would quickly pass.
"Ten thousand yuan, isn't that a bit too little?" After Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, he deliberately asked Liu Lanying, "What do you think? Is ten thousand yuan a bit little? Compared to the harm this couple caused you yesterday, I feel ten thousand yuan isn't even enough for emotional distress."
"How about this, I'll give you a direct figure, ten times more. Is one million yuan acceptable? I think one million yuan should be more appropriate. The rest can be considered as compensation for Miss Liu's emotional distress. It was wrong for me to deceive people yesterday, and my mouth was too foul, saying many unpleasant things. I apologize for all of it here, alright?"
Liu Lanying thought she was being very rational, but upon seeing the woman's pained expression, her heart seemed to soften.
"Forget it. What happened yesterday is in the past. I don't want to dwell on it anymore. Brother Ye, let's make it one million yuan. Consider yesterday's matter settled. Please cure their ailments."
Ye Tiancheng nodded. "Actually, it's not a loss at all. If I were to make the stench on your body disappear, it would require a great deal of power. Do you think it's that easy?"
"Alright, if you want to add more money, that's fine too. If we continue like this for the rest of our lives, my husband and I won't be able to live."
Now, Sun Yanli had completely caved. No matter how much money Ye Tiancheng asked for, she would agree. After all, having such a strong stench on their bodies was a disaster of apocalyptic proportions for them.
"Okay, I've always liked money. One million yuan is indeed a bit little. Let's make it five million. Didn't you just give Liu Lanying five million? Liu Lanying isn't signing the contract with you anymore, so get it back and transfer it again. Then sign a gift contract, so you don't try to get it back through other means later."
Ye Tiancheng had thought of every possibility, so he didn't need any other tricks from Sun Yanli. Everything was settled.
"Five million it is, five million. I'll give you the money, but you must keep it a secret. I don't want anyone to know."
This couple still cared about their reputation. They were afraid that if others found out, they would lose face. First, their bodies were filled with an unbearable stench, and then they were threatened by this down-and-out trash like Ye Tiancheng. For them, either of these was a great humiliation.
"I wouldn't dare to intentionally spread such news. Unless you have some ideas, wanting to become famous through this, or wanting to gain attention?"
Faced with Ye Tiancheng's questioning, the couple was completely stunned. "We have no such intentions, Mr. Ye. Please be merciful and let us go. It hasn't been easy for my husband and me to get to where we are today. We will definitely give you five million yuan. We will also live a low-key life from now on and will not do such foolish things again."
Regardless, this couple had some attitude, and it was actually quite good. Ye Tiancheng didn't say much more. After asking Liu Lanying and confirming that the money had arrived, he didn't hesitate and directly used his true qi to cure the stench on them.
Ye Tiancheng had also consumed quite a bit of true qi this time, but he couldn't show any weakness in front of this couple. These two were only temporarily weak and temporarily honest. Once they discovered that Ye Tiancheng had become less powerful in order to save them, who knew what outrageous things this detestable couple would do? It was better to be careful. One must always guard against others.
"Finally, it's alright. Thank you, Mr. Ye. Thank you for saving my husband and me."
It would have been fine if this matter had just passed. Anyway, Ye Tiancheng had received the money. Although it consumed some true qi, it was nothing.
However, what they didn't expect was that the scumbag, having lost five million yuan and not daring to do anything to Ye Tiancheng, could only vent his anger on his wife.
He directly slapped his wife again. This slap was not an act; it was a genuine hit. This infuriated Sun Yanli, and she lunged at her husband with bared teeth and claws. At this moment, Dong Weilong suddenly erupted, as if he had been holding back for a long time and could no longer contain himself. He reprimanded Sun Yanli.
"It's one thing for me to lay hands on you, but you want to lay hands on me? Stop it, you wretched woman! I've tolerated you for a long time. If you hadn't treated Mr. Ye poorly at the beginning, why would he have gotten angry? We might have already finalized our business deal and wouldn't have gone through so many twists and turns."
Dong Weilong had truly endured this shrew for a long time. Now that he could no longer tolerate it, and in front of so many people, he couldn't help but erupt. As his anger flared, he disregarded everything and continued to say furiously.
"I've had enough of you! So what if your family is rich? Your character is flawed. If I stay with you, I'll eventually be corrupted. I want a divorce from you. I can't stand another minute with you."
Sun Yanli, who was already feeling wronged, was then scolded by her husband. How could she endure such injustice? She immediately flew into a rage and wanted to divorce her husband, but Ye Tiancheng, Liu Lanying, and the fatty held her back.
"Alright, that's enough. If you two want to fight, go home and do it. Don't do it here."
"Don't anyone try to stop me. I'm about to divorce this woman. If I spend another minute with her, I'm afraid I'll die because of her. She used to scold me for being from the countryside, just because she looked down on me. Although it seems like I've entered your family and lived a good life over the years, I've actually been living under her control. I'm going crazy."
Sun Yanli did not refute anything Dong Weilong said, but instead sighed incessantly.
"Do you think I felt good finding you? You were so handsome at first, but after a few years, you got so fat you looked like a pig. I'm so depressed. I regret it so much. And your earning ability isn't good either. I regret it immensely now. If we can divorce, it'll be letting each other go. Let's divorce immediately."
Ye Tiancheng had intended to persuade them, but the couple quickly left without further argument. Their calm demeanor gave Ye Tiancheng a bad premonition. It seemed they were truly going to divorce.
However, since their fate had run its course, no amount of persuasion from others would help. If they wanted to divorce, then let them divorce. It was much better than forcing themselves to stay together.
After this couple left, Ye Tiancheng finally had some peace and quiet and then went to sleep.
When Ye Tiancheng woke up, he found Liu Lanying busy outside. Liu Lanying had planted some new vegetables, which had already sprouted. Liu Lanying was still dressed in her usual neat and capable style, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. Although her skin had gotten a little darker from the sun during this time, she looked even healthier and more beautiful.
"You're growing vegetables yourself?"
Ye Tiancheng found it somewhat surprising. After all, Liu Lanying was indeed quite good-looking. There was nothing to fault with her face. Upon closer inspection, she was quite enduringly beautiful, and at first glance, she was very refined. Her figure was also very good. In short, as a man, Ye Tiancheng naturally appreciated her from an appreciative perspective.
"Yes, vegetables grown by oneself are healthier. Otherwise, it's quite inconvenient for us to eat vegetables. We'll likely be staying here for a while longer. Once you find what you're looking for, we'll leave. By then, we'll be able to eat the vegetables we grew ourselves. Come quickly and inspect them. See if I've done a good job?"
Since Liu Lanying had said so, Ye Tiancheng naturally couldn't refuse. He quickly went to take a look and then nodded with satisfaction.
"It's been a long time since I've grown vegetables myself. Growing vegetables yourself is healthier, and the soil here is fertile, which is a great advantage."
The two chatted for a while, and it seemed endless. Ye Tiancheng also realized that he and Liu Lanying were indeed quite compatible. Perhaps they were both from farming backgrounds deep down, just like his first love. He always felt very relaxed when he was with her. However, when he was with Hou Mingzhu and Miss Su, he sometimes felt inferior, which was not a pleasant feeling. He felt much better being with Liu Lanying.
They chatted in the yard for a while, and then Liu Lanying prepared dinner, stewed chicken. After they ate, they suddenly heard the sound of a car outside. The car drove directly to their doorstep. It was an SUV, and a very tall and handsome man got out of the car.
"Is Liu Lanying here?"
Beside the man was a short and plump middle-aged man. That man looked to be in his early fifties, wearing glasses, a black suit, and white gloves. At first glance, he seemed friendly, but upon closer examination, he appeared to be a driver or something similar.
"I'm here."
"Do you remember me? I'm Xue Shaoyang. We were engaged as babies before."
Ye Tiancheng was listening nearby. This guy must have heard that Liu Lanying had gotten rich this morning. Why did the arranged marriage come up? He had never seen this guy before. Now that he looked so wealthy, he came to associate with Liu Lanying. Clearly, this man's intentions were not pure.
"You're Xue Shaoyang? We haven't seen each other in over ten years. We only met when we were children, and I've forgotten what you look like!"
"It's alright. We were engaged as babies. We'll get to know each other. We don't know each other at first, but once we spend time together, we'll get acquainted. I'm very easy to get along with. I'd like to invite you to dine at a Michelin restaurant. Do I have the honor?"
That Xue Shaoyang was clearly a sycophant. Inviting Liu Lanying to dinner so enthusiastically was definitely an attempt to pursue her.
Liu Lanying quickly realized this and was a little reluctant to engage. However, she glanced at Ye Tiancheng, and Ye Tiancheng nodded, meaning she shouldn't disappoint the person's good intentions like this.
"Go ahead. I see you didn't eat much tonight, so the food probably wasn't to your taste. I believe the food at Michelin restaurants is quite delicious. Eat more and savor it for me."
Under Ye Tiancheng's persuasion, Liu Lanying reluctantly agreed to go. After Liu Lanying left, Ye Tiancheng felt a little empty in his heart.
