Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

All the way there, I kept wondering where my cousin was going to take me.

I didn't come to my senses until my cousin opened the car door and told me to get out quickly.

My cousin took me to a very upscale club. The four hostesses standing at the entrance were prettier than the prettiest girl in our class, though not as pretty as my cousin's wife.

After getting my wristband at the front desk, I followed my cousin to the bathhouse on the basement floor to change clothes.

"Cousin, didn't you say you were going to take me to play arcade games? Why are you taking a shower here?"

My cousin slapped me on the head and laughed, scolding, "You silly boy, what are you doing playing arcade games? Those are for kids. Come with me later, I guarantee you'll be hooked. Newbies like you even get big red envelopes."

Hearing this, even I, in my daze, knew where he was going to take me.

Although I've never been there, I've never eaten pork, but haven't I at least seen a pig run?

My face turned bright red, and I quickly waved my hand, "No, if my mom finds out, she'll break my legs."

"Really not going?"

My cousin stared at me with a wicked grin.

I shook my head vigorously, my attitude extremely firm.

I've never even had a proper relationship, and I don't want to casually give away my virginity in a place like this.

Seeing my firm attitude, my cousin didn't press the matter any further: "Alright, since you're so shy and can't let it go, don't blame me for not being a good host later."

I hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to advise, "Cousin, you should come to places like this less often in the future. If Sister Wan finds out, she'll be heartbroken."

Although Su Wan doesn't like me, I think a person should have a conscience and not cheat on his wife and betray her sincere feelings.

"Alright, alright, don't mention her to me, it's annoying to even think about her."

Mentioning Su Wan made my cousin feel a bit annoyed, and he waved his hand impatiently.

After saying that, she added, "Don't tell her about me taking you out to play, or we'll end up fighting again when we get back."

I nodded: "Cousin, don't worry. I'm not a child. I know what I should and shouldn't say."

My cousin put his arm around my neck and led me toward the elevator: "Come on, let me introduce you to some friends. That way, when you're out doing business or something happens, you'll have someone to lend a hand."

When we got to the massage rooms on the third floor, my cousin introduced me to a few middle-aged men.

I nervously followed my cousin's instructions, calling out "Brother Wang" and "General Manager Li" to everyone.

At this moment, everyone was wearing sauna suits, so you couldn't tell their status or wealth. However, from their conversation, they kept talking about hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, which made them seem like people who were doing big things.

I listened with great envy, wondering when I would be able to open a multi-million dollar deal with just a few words.

When I saw Brother Wang putting his arm around a female masseuse and entering the massage room, I tactfully stood up and said I wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home.

My cousin knew I didn't want to go, so he didn't force me. He handed me the car keys: "You can drive, right?"

I said I learned to drive during the holidays, but I haven't driven since leaving driving school.

"Okay, then drive my car back. If your sister Wan asks why I haven't come back, just say I'm out discussing business and might be a little late."

I knew he was going to fool around, but with so many people around, I didn't feel comfortable saying anything, so I just took the car keys.

When I got downstairs, I saw a beautiful woman in a short skirt standing next to my cousin's Land Rover, taking pictures against the car.

I've seen many gold diggers do this while scrolling through short videos, but this is the first time I've actually encountered it in person. I was stunned and didn't know whether to tell her to leave or let her continue filming.

The beautiful woman noticed me staring at her, her cheeks flushed slightly, and when she saw the car keys in my hand, she smiled and asked, "Handsome, is this your car?"

Before I could even say anything, a man in his fifties walked over, smiled, and offered me a cigarette, speaking very politely.

"Brother, could you please move your car a little? I can't get it out of here."

As he spoke, he pointed to the back of the Land Rover, which was an ordinary family sedan, costing only around 200,000 yuan.

elder brother?

He's old enough to be my dad, yet he calls me, someone more than thirty years younger than him, "brother."

I know he doesn't respect me as a person; he just mistakenly thinks this impressive Land Rover is mine, which is why he's acting so humble.

Although the car wasn't mine, the moment I pressed the key to unlock it, I straightened my back considerably, and a sense of vanity and confidence I'd never felt before welled up inside me.

I must work hard with my cousin, make a lot of money, and buy my own Land Rover!

I was just about to drive away when the beautiful woman walked to the car window, smiled, and waved her phone at me: "Handsome, could you add me on WeChat?"

This is the first time in my life that a girl has asked me for her contact information. I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

I mimicked the rich kids in those short videos, deliberately putting on an indifferent act and replying, "Sorry, the fishpond is full."

Before she could say anything, I stepped on the gas and drove off.

It's not that I don't want to add it, it's just that this car isn't mine, and it would be so embarrassing if it got caught.

……

When I arrived at my cousin's house, I parked the car but didn't go upstairs for a long time.

Su Wan already disliked me. It was fine when my cousin was around, but now that it's just the two of us, it's so awkward.

I wandered around downstairs for more than two hours. When it was past 10 p.m. and my cousin still hadn't come back, I took a deep breath and braced myself to go upstairs.

Su Wan came to open the door after the doorbell rang only four times.

Her hair was wet, obviously she had just taken a shower, and she was wearing a black lace-trimmed nightgown that revealed her two long and shapely legs.

I called out hesitantly, "Cousin... Sister Wan."

Remembering my cousin's advice, I quickly changed my mind.

Su Wan glanced behind me expressionlessly, didn't see my cousin, and asked unhappily, "Where's your cousin?"

I felt a chill run down my spine, and I could only bite the bullet and lie: "My cousin is talking business with Mr. Wang and said he won't be back until very late."

Su Wan hummed in agreement: "I know. It's getting late. Go take a shower and get some rest."

As she reached the doorway, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at me.

"Don't use the bathroom towels randomly. The pink one is mine, the gray one is your cousin's, and you should use the white one. Don't mix them up. Take your dirty clothes to the washing machine on the balcony and wash them. Don't hand wash them in the bathroom."

The bathroom is damp, so clothes don't dry easily inside and tend to smell. We put all the laundry in the washing machine on the balcony.

After saying that, she slammed the door shut, clearly not wanting to waste any more words with me.

After taking a shower, I carried my dirty clothes to the balcony. I was stunned as soon as I opened the washing machine door; it was piled high with women's clothes.

I touched it, and the clothes were still dry, so they obviously hadn't been washed.

I was at a loss for what to do. I didn't know whether I should take out her clothes and wash mine first, or wash hers first.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

I instinctively turned my head and saw Su Wan standing right behind me, staring straight at me.

Upon seeing the black stockings in my hand, Su Wan's face instantly darkened, and she turned and left without saying a word.

Oh no, it's a misunderstanding!

Su Wan already despised me from the bottom of her heart, and after witnessing this scene, she probably thought I was even more despicable.

Looking at her closed door, I wanted to knock and explain things to her, but I didn't have the courage. I could only walk back to my room dejectedly.

I lay on the floor, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. I was afraid she would go back and tell my cousin something, falsely accusing me of secretly taking her things to do something bad.

If that happens, my cousin will not only kick me out, but he will also teach me a lesson.

As I was lost in thought, there was a loud knocking on the door.

My heart jumped into my throat, and all the muscles in my body tensed up.

"Are you asleep? You haven't slept at all. I have a few questions for you." Su Wan's voice rang out from outside the door.
