Chapter 57: Two Hundred Million, Take It and Spend It

  Located on the edge of the main city, in the upper reaches of the river, in a semi-hillside villa area, inside a villa with hundreds of square meters of independent garden, the lights are all on, and colorful lanterns are embedded along the four sides of the garden. Several valuable cars are parked beside the spacious highway in the villa area. More than a dozen waiters from professional hotels shuttle back and forth inside and outside the villa. Dozens of men and women dressed in luxury, holding wine glasses in their hands, greet each other. Through the open door of the villa, the entire first-floor hall has become a dance floor, with soft music immersing couples in it.

  At 9:01, on time, in the not-too-distant river embankment below, fireworks lit up the sky, one by one giant heart-shaped patterns unfolded, dazzled and dissipated.

  The entire villa's lights focused on this moment, Kong Xin, dressed in a tuxedo, with his hair slicked back, slowly walked out of the doorway, holding a large bouquet of bright red roses. A brand new red Audi A4 backed into the entrance and stopped at the door, its trunk open, revealing a dense arrangement of bright red roses that seemed to be dripping with dew, causing the people inside the villa to burst into cheers and applause, accompanied by whistling sounds rising and falling in succession.

  Suddenly, a spotlight shone on Lingyun who had just put down his dinner plate. Bang! All the lights went out, and soft music started playing. Two spotlights were shining on Kong Xin and Lingyun respectively. One followed Kong Xin as he walked towards Lingyun, while the other was fixed on Lingyun's body.

  Many people in the scene envied and admired Lingsheng Yun, Cinderella's fairy tale was staged in reality. When did Kong Dashi spend so much thought on a woman? This time it's serious, didn't he buy this villa and car for her? Chasing women is also a costly endeavor.

  No one doubted the wealth of the Kong family, with several close or distant relatives doing business, building and real estate. Kong Xin was the largest boss behind the scenes, and with Kong Xue Dong in Pingjiang for a day, Kong Xin could easily make a fortune that ordinary people couldn't make in a lifetime. However, it's easy to say but hard to hear, Kong Xin had always been low-key, never showing off his wealth. This time, he was willing to go all out for a woman, and everyone in his circle believed that Ling Yun had good luck and captivated Kong Da Shao's heart, becoming the young mistress overnight. From now on, she would have no worries about food or clothing. The women present who were still trying to make their men appreciate them couldn't help but look at Ling Yun with envy, hoping that one day they could become the heroine of the night like her.

  Kong Xin walked up to Jing Yun's side, handed her a bouquet of flowers with one hand and took out a small jewelry box from his pocket with the other. The scene was filled with cheers and whistles, with many people shouting "Be together! Be together! Be together..."

  She was shocked and pursed her lips, being strongly pursued by the other party. Occasionally, they would eat together, and in front of outsiders, she would pretend to be his girlfriend. Even when he occasionally hugged her, she tried hard to endure it. However, when it came to confirming their relationship and being touched more deeply, she couldn't compromise anymore. No matter who the other person was, since becoming the pillar of her family in high school, someone had introduced her to a wealthy suitor, but she refused. After years of hard work, persistence, and gritting her teeth while holding back tears, she didn't want to give up now. Facing an enormous entity that she couldn't resist, she wanted to try fighting back and stand up for herself.

  Clutching her fist tightly, her fingernails dug deep into her palm. Jingyun raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Kong Xin, thank you, let's just be friends instead. I don't like you, and we're not suitable for each other."

  Kong Xin Meng furrowed his brow, a surge of unnamed fire rising from the bottom of his heart. He felt that every gaze on his face had turned into ridicule. Having never been rejected by anyone since childhood, he couldn't tolerate being rejected now, especially when everything was carefully designed by him. Gnashing his teeth, he spat out each word: "You... say... what?!"

  "Kong Xin, thank you, I may have let you down. Let's just be friends instead, the two of us aren't suitable."

  Wow!

  The low hum of discussion in the whole venue was like a knife that directly pierced Kong Xin's body. The proud him couldn't accept failure, especially not accepting rejection from a Cinderella, he couldn't do it.

  Looking at his extremely ugly face, the people around him stopped first. In their eyes, except for the extremely grateful acceptance, any reaction was pretending to be tight. She is beautiful and good-looking, but what does that have to do with it? Nowadays, everything is a slave except for money and power. It depends on how much value these people at the top of the pyramid are willing to use to measure slaves. Slaves don't have the qualifications to refuse.

  "Still pretending to be a virgin, even if you are, Kong Shao has already given you enough face, don't give face if you can't take it." Those friends were also furious, thinking that this was a challenge to their entire group and couldn't be tolerated.

  "Really, Kong Shao is still so arrogant and proud, really doesn't know how to show respect." Some women who can't get what they want say that the grapes are sour.

  "Hmph, pretending to be what? A woman's beauty only lasts a few years. Kong Shao is giving you an opportunity, why not sell your face for more money?" Some marginal figures chimed in.

  Kong Xin felt an overwhelming urge to hit someone, and he thrust the flowers into Ling Yun's arms: "I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, take them."

  You've made me unhappy today, tomorrow I'll make you unable to stand in Pingjiang.

  Boom!

  Along with some people's screams, the A4, which was originally a beauty, was like a little daughter-in-law, and more than half of the roses in the trunk were dropped out and squeezed to one side, completely losing its due status.

  "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear clearly even after I said it twice?"

  Zhang Shidong pushed open the car door, walked to Kong Xin's side with a cigarette in his mouth, bumped his shoulder and opened up the position that belonged to him, facing Ling Yun: "I'm still me, I just have the ability to protect you now, let's go, keep being strong, you're forever my idol."

  As she finished speaking, she grasped Lingyun's hand tightly. Her true understanding overwhelmed her forced strong front, and she bit her lower lip hard with her upper teeth, struggling not to let tears flow from her eyes.

  "What the f***, where did this idiot come from, running around pretending to be a big shot."

  "Kid, has your brain been washed?"

  Kong Xin's face sank, blocking Zhang Shidong. His narrowed eyes were full of ferocity: "Ling Yun, have you thought it through? What will be the consequences if you walk out from here today? And you, Zhang Shidong, do you really think I won't take action against you?"

  Just as Zhang Shidong was about to speak, a special humming noise came from afar and grew louder. A fleet of luxury sports cars, worthy of an emperor, flashed their headlights and stopped in front of the villa. One by one, fashionably dressed girls, far beyond the level of Pingjiang, jumped out of the cars, all wearing uniform windbreakers.

  First, a tall girl with purple hair looked around and said, "This group is really embarrassing. In such a small place, they still want to pick up girls? If this kind of man were in our place, he would have been dragged out and flogged to death."

  The little girl with a cute doll-like voice pouted: "This car can't even be given away, how embarrassing. Our housekeeper aunt only drives this car when she goes out to buy vegetables."

  A sultry woman with a pair of fox-like eyes scanned the room: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you call this a banquet? You guys really have no taste at all. There's not even a single bottle of wine worth over 10,000 yuan. How pathetic! If someone I knew was hosting such a gathering, I would've cut ties with them long ago."

  A voluptuous woman with a charming voice: "The men are not handsome, the women are not beautiful, the environment is trashy, the taste is trashy. Boss, your man is also unfaithful, you came all the way to support him, but he's holding another woman's hand. Hey, pretty legs sister, come with me, stinky men are not interesting, I still have less than 200 million on this card, take it as pocket money."

  PS: Chrysanthemum, it hurts. If I get bombed again, I'll fall out of the top ten, urgently seeking everyone's recommendation votes, those who don't vote are led by Mǐnuònuò's leading demon... combination will make you and Kǒngxīn a pair...
