Renting a young, attractive woman to take home for the Chinese New Year infuriates the entire villag

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

As dawn broke, Jiang Chen's phone started buzzing incessantly.

When I picked up my phone, it was full of messages from Lin Qianqian, more than a dozen short essays.

Jiang Chen, I'm really sorry for yesterday, for showing you that side of me.

Actually, I have my reasons.

My dad failed in his business and, wanting to make money, he fell for an online scammer. It turned out the scammer was running an online gambling site, and my dad got hooked. No amount of persuasion could change his mind, and he ended up with a mountain of debt.

To pay off my father's debts, my mother worked from dawn till dusk, which ruined her health. She now needs to take medication every day and can no longer do physical labor.

She was from the countryside and didn't have any special skills. She couldn't do manual labor, so for her, it was tantamount to losing her job completely.

Therefore, I earned all of my college tuition myself.

Even while in school, one must work while studying.

I'm so fed up with this life of not knowing where my next meal will come from.

Besides, my younger brother is in college now, and I don't want him to suffer the same hardships I did. I've been caught in the rain, and I don't want him to be caught in the rain either.

It's really tough being a girl out there. To earn money to support my family, I have no choice but to... But I swear, I only do legitimate massages and have never done anything against my conscience.

You're the only one who didn't look at me differently. I believe you'll understand me, right?

Every word was written in tears, every sentence was a plea for sympathy.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Qianqian smiled.

According to the course, morning is the time when you first wake up and is also the most relaxing time of the day.

Moreover, men experience a surge in hormone secretion at this time.

As a beautiful woman, I took the initiative to open my heart to him first thing in the morning; he must be overjoyed.

She probably thinks I'm interested in him.

I don't know if he went home last night, or if he knows that I went to his house yesterday.

If they had known, they probably would have wanted to come and save me by now.

Just then, my phone rang.

Jiang Chen: [Oh]

After replying, Jiang Chen threw his phone away without any hesitation.

But Jiang Chen was preoccupied with the five million yuan debt and had no interest in paying attention to her.

He replied with a single word, his face expressionless:

【Oh. 】

Then I tossed my phone aside, pulled the covers over myself, and went back to sleep.

What is this? It's keeping me from sleeping. I don't understand it.

Lin Qianqian was completely stunned when she saw this one-word message.

No way, I'm a beautiful woman, and I sent you a long essay first thing in the morning, and this is your reaction?

Is it because Sun Mengjia is there that it's inconvenient for her to reply to messages?

Thinking of this, Lin Qianqian quickly sent another message: "If I were Jiajia, I wouldn't care who you chat with. Men, especially successful men, should have their own circle and their own freedom."

Jiang Chen, who was about to fall asleep, was woken up again by the notification sound.

Upon seeing that it was still Lin Qianqian, her anger reached its peak.

Are you out of your mind?! Why aren't you sleeping this early in the morning?!

Jiang Chen regretted it as soon as he sent it.

It's all over.

I was so busy being angry that I forgot she's a technician and probably hasn't even finished get off work yet.

So, she quickly added: "You can't sleep until you're off work, but I need to sleep!"

After saying that, he immediately silenced his phone and threw it under his pillow.

He swore that if anyone dared to disturb his sleep again, he would chop them in half!

Even if it were your own father, it wouldn't work!

He had saved up for so long, even offending all his relatives in the process, only to get such a paltry sum. He was already furious.

He's currently in a terrible mood, and he's really willing to hit anyone who dares to cross him.

Just then, the doorknob clicked.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Mengjia's voice came out.

"Get up! Get up! Get up!"

"Grandma and Grandpa are up, and you're still sleeping! Time to eat!"

"I'm going to sleep a little longer."

"Stop sleeping! Get up and have some fun! I'll invite you and Xiaoxue to play billiards later."

[Sun Mengjia was detected spending money for the host. Sincerity value +1. Current sincerity value: 1]

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately dressed and stood at attention, looking at Sun Mengjia with a big smile: "Why are you up so early today? What else do you want to do besides playing billiards?"

Sun Mengjia curled her lip: "Unsolicited kindness is either a swindler or a thief!"

Just then, someone with long, straight black hair walked over.

Jiang Chen subconsciously took a step back, afraid of getting tainted by bad luck.

The woman with long, straight black hair noticed Jiang Chen's wariness towards her, and even a hint of fear, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

No, everything was fine yesterday.

Does he know about Jiajia and me?

Did Jiajia say something to him?

No way, Jiajia doesn't seem like that kind of person.

Besides, don't all men like this kind of thing? Is Jiang Chen the kind of person who particularly dislikes it?

I ate the meal in a daze.

Jiang Chen smiled at Sun Mengjia and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but let's skip the billiards game today. Let's go buy fireworks."

"Yay!" Sun Mengjia's eyes lit up. "I love setting off firecrackers! I want to buy one of those Gatling guns, that's so awesome!"

The girl with long, straight black hair next to her quickly put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and exclaimed, "I'm going too! I want to go too!"

"No!" Jiang Chen blurted out, even raising his hand to make a stop gesture.

"You absolutely mustn't go!"

The girl with long, straight black hair froze, looking aggrieved. "Why? Does my brother dislike me?"

"Cough cough..." Jiang Chen realized he had overreacted and quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "It's not that I'm disgusted with you, it's just that you have to stay home and act with my parents."

"Think about it, your current role is that of a well-behaved and sensible colleague, a guest here. If you were to go running around with us like crazy, wouldn't that ruin your public image?"

"Just stay home and spend time with your aunt and uncle, chat with them, help them out, and solidify your position."

The corner of her long, straight black hair twitched.

Okay, okay, so they have a problem with me.

Then don't blame me.

Thinking of this, the woman with long, straight black hair said with a wronged expression, "But we told your parents last night that I came to Jiangcheng for fun. I've been lying at your house all day and haven't gone anywhere. It doesn't look like I came here for fun at all."

"Besides, every extra hour I spend at home means an extra hour with your parents. What if they ask me all sorts of questions, like about the company's specific business, and I can't answer them and give myself away?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

Finish the calf!

Now they've shot themselves in the foot.

Who knew Sun Mengjia was a prolific scorer and Zhao Xue was just unlucky!

Especially seeing the seemingly obedient but shrewd look in his eyes, Jiang Chen instantly regretted his decision.

We shouldn't have let the wolf into our house!

Sun Mengjia is at most a little poisonous, but apart from that, she can't be said to be without any flaws. At least Jiang Chen doesn't dislike her at all.

But this Zhao Xue, who seems honest, is actually a scheming woman.

And she's also a spirited young woman.

Maybe she's even more adept at it than Sun Mengjia.

Thinking about this, Jiang Chen felt that when he had time, he should persuade Sun Mengjia to stay away from Zhao Xue.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

The problem now is that leaving her alone at home is a ticking time bomb.

Moreover, although Zhao Xue was alone, she was still a partner bound to the system.

This five million fireworks fund is simply outrageous, like opening the door to something even more outrageous.

If I actually bought five million worth of fireworks, even a fool would think it was outrageous, let alone a young, effeminate woman.

If they just say something to stop you, like "Don't buy it" or "It's such a waste," then the real value will skyrocket.

As the old saying goes: "Whether there are dates or not, just pick two sticks."

What if we can get a high score?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile, "That's right, you have a point."

"Let's go together! It'll be more fun with more people, and we can buy whatever we want. The fireworks are on me today!"

Seeing Sun Mengjia and the girl with long, straight black hair looking excited, Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Laugh, laugh, all of you laugh.

When I buy five million worth of fireworks in one go, enough to buy up all the fireworks in the entire town and even the entire county, let's see what kind of expressions you all have!
