"Damn bad luck, I didn't expect Lin Dong to be such a loser. He lost and then acted shamelessly. Now the car and the money are both gone."
Xiaoxiao muttered, without having transferred ownership, that car wasn't hers.
"But at least he's ruined, right? If he could choose again, I bet he'd opt to give up the car and the money," Hao Jian teased, but there are no ifs.
"Yeah, he likes women so much, it must be killing him. He'll probably only be able to fantasize about women and sex for the rest of his life."
Xiaoxiao burst into laughter, then looked at Hao Jian with adoring eyes:
"Uncle, you are so amazing, managing to defeat Liang Jiankun. Why not teach me how to race?"
"No teaching," Hao Jian shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Why?" Xiaoxiao's face fell, and she asked unhappily.
"Because it's not safe. The thrill of speed might feel great, but it's also deadly," Hao Jian earnestly explained.
Although his driving skills were excellent, he didn't like racing. It's like having great kung fu but still fearing kitchen knives; even with great driving skills, accidents could happen.
Those world-class racers never dare claim they'll never have an accident.
Xiaoxiao is still young, she likes the thrill, and Hao Jian could understand that, but he didn't plan on contributing to her recklessness.
Kids like to show off. Once he taught her, she would definitely mess around. Eventually, showing off could lead to her showing off to death.
"I'll just learn, not use, okay?" Xiaoxiao pleaded as she grabbed Hao Jian's hand, pressing it against her chest, cooing continuously.
"Dream on, you don't have much there. No matter how much you squeeze, you can't create a cleavage," Hao Jian said bluntly, as he was not fond of little girls; he preferred them curvy.
"You bastard!" Xiaoxiao was furious, shocked that he would speak to her like that.
"Let me tell you, what you're saying is like saying a dog won't shit. If you learn and never use, then why learn at all?"
Hao Jian, a mature man, wouldn't be deceived by this girl.
"You dare call me a dog, I'll fight you!"
Xiaoxiao exploded in rage, charging at Hao Jian with her fists, but Hao Jian simply held her head with one hand, stopping her from making any further move.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll have to hit you," Hao Jian threatened. You think I'm HELLO KITTY when I'm not acting tough?
"Xiaoxiao, I also think Hao Jian has a point. Why would a girl spend all her time learning this?" Yuan Shanshan agreed with Hao Jian's approach.
"It's a hobby. Doesn't everyone have their own hobbies? Uncle, please teach me," Xiaoxiao pleaded.
"Okay, but you'll have to pay tuition. I won't ask for much, just thirty thousand a month," Hao Jian demanded grandly.
"Thirty thousand? Why don't you go rob someone?"
Xiaoxiao immediately became angry. She couldn't possibly have that much money, and even with her miserly traits, she wouldn't necessarily give it to Hao Jian.
"If you won't pay, forget it," Hao Jian shrugged his shoulders, not insisting since he wouldn't be the one losing out.
"Let's talk about the money later. What about having offended Liang Jiankun? What will you do about it?" Yuan Shanshan asked worriedly.
"Yeah, Liang Jiankun is no ordinary person," Xiaoxiao also sobered up and voiced her concerns.
In this circle, Xiaoxiao naturally knew who Liang Jiankun was. After being humiliated by Hao Jian today, he would surely seek revenge.
"Don't worry, I have it all figured out," Hao Jian waved his hand, indicating he had no problems.
Just as he had said before, Liang Jiankun might seem a big deal to others, but to him, he was nothing.
"Come on, I'll drive you guys home," Hao Jian started the car, preparing to take Yuan Shanshan and Xiaoxiao home.
By the time he returned home, it was already the middle of the night, and Shu Ya was still awake because she was waiting for Hao Jian to come back.
She really had no right to question Hao Jian's nightlife, but for some reason, it made her uncomfortable. How could he think about going out when he had such a beauty like her by his side?
Sitting on the sofa in her pink pajamas, Shu Ya saw Hao Jian return and immediately snapped,
"Where have you been?"
Hao Jian replied irritably, obviously holding a grudge about Shu Ya defending someone else earlier.
"To the salon? Did you go see a prostitute?" Shu Ya asked with a weird expression, looking down on Hao Jian.
"What, is that not allowed? I have to take care of my needs, don't I?" Hao Jian responded angrily. You won't let me sleep with you, but you won't let me sleep with someone else?
"You can't use masturbation?"
Shu Ya became increasingly furious, but her voice got quieter toward the end. Discussing this matter in front of Hao Jian embarrassed her.
Hao Jian pretended not to understand, finding it quite amusing that this woman was discussing self-relief with him.
"You... You jerk!" Seeing the mocking look in Hao Jian's eyes, Shu Ya immediately realized he was teasing her.
"I didn't say anything, oh." Hao Jian said with a naughty smile, raising his hands in surrender.
"Just don't go again!"
Shu Ya said angrily, although she didn't know why she was angry. She just felt uncomfortable seeing this guy flirting around outside.
"Alright, alright, I won't go," Hao Jian said nonchalantly, but then noticed a cigarette butt in the ashtray and frowned deeply:
"Has someone been here?"
At these words, Shu Ya's expression turned rather gloomy.
Seeing her like that, Hao Jian was startled: "Damn, you wouldn't be stopping me from seeing other women while you're cheating on me, would you?"
"You're going to die!" Shu Ya pinched Hao Jian's arm furiously. How dare he say that about her.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow." Hao Jian cried out in pain.
Only then did Shu Ya let go of his arm, saying fiercely, "It was my dad who came."
"Your dad? What did he come for?"
Hao Jian was secretly shocked; Shu Ya and her father hardly ever saw each other. His sudden visit was definitely not a good sign.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest now."
Shu Ya clearly did not want to talk about it anymore, looking exhausted as she walked toward her room.
Hao Jian shrugged his shoulders and did not press further.
After his shower, Hao Jian went to help Sister Lan change a lightbulb, having been delayed by some matters earlier, only finding time today.
Hao Jian knocked on the door, and then Sister Lan came to open it. At that moment, Hao Jian saw that the room was pitch-dark, and Sister Lan was actually using a candle.
Seeing this, Hao Jian felt somewhat guilty; if he had come earlier, they wouldn't have had to endure this. Indeed, it was really inconvenient not having a man in the house.
