“Well, let’s talk as we walk.” Chen Mengyan nodded. She was, of course, interested in Yang Ming’s happenings. Yang Ming didn’t want to tell her previously so she felt it was a little unfair. Now that Yang Ming took the initiative to tell her, of course, she was happy.
“Well, since you’re willing to listen to it, I will tell you from the beginning… En , where do I start?” Yang Ming thought about it.
“Just start from the first bucket of gold you got.” Chen Mengyan thought about it.
“The first bucket of gold? How can it be considered the first bucket of gold?” Yang Ming asked with a smile.
“That is… When you got your first thousand yuan? Of course, it can’t be given by your parents. You have to have gotten it from others.” Chen Mengyan said.
” Oh ? A thousand yuan is it?” Yang Ming thought about it and then smiled. “Does Chinese New Year’s lucky money count? It was not given by my parents, but I received it from someone else’s hand.”
“…” Chen Mengyan rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. She said while feeling speechless, “What do you think?”
” Hehe …” Yang Ming shook his head with a smile, “Just kidding. The first time I got my one thousand yuan… En , does money that passed through my hands count?”
“Passed through your hands?” Chen Mengyan said, bewildered.
“Which is the money that I received and then I passed to someone else.” Yang Ming said.
“You received then you passed it to others? How much was it?” Chen Mengyan asked.
“Three thousand yuan? Or four thousand yuan? It was around there. I didn’t count the exact number.” Yang Ming couldn’t think of a specific number.
“What happened? Tell me.” Chen Mengyan was interested.
“When we were in Grade 12, Sister Ying gave me tutoring every day until evening. You know that, right?” Yang Ming started talking from the beginning.
” En .” Chen Mengyan nodded. She knew this apparently.
“One night, I took Sister Ying home and then I met two robbers…” As Yang Ming spoke up to this point, he smiled and said, “You can imagine the results. Your husband robbed them back…”
“Sweat…” Chen Mengyan shook her head with some helplessness. “Well, this can be barely considered as your first bucket of gold. Later, I guess you handed the money to your parents or the police, right?”
“I didn’t… When I was on the way home that day, I met a girl who was going to sell her body to treat her father. She was trying to sell her first time to me…” Before Yang Ming could finish, he was interrupted.
Chen Mengyan’s heart tightened after listening to Yang Ming’s words, “Then… did you buy it?”
“It could be considered as yes…” Yang Ming nodded.
“You…” Chen Mengyan’s eyes widened. She looked at Yang Ming with some surprise, but there were more anger and indignation in her eyes. “Yang Ming, you actually… actually did this kind of thing?”
Yes, Yang Ming’s unintentional faults, Chen Mengyan could barely forgive him and accept them. However, taking the initiative to take advantage of another’s crisis and buying someone’s first time was a bit too immoral, right?
If Chen Mengyan wasn’t angry, it would be strange!
“Mengyan… Don’t be agitated first. You listen to me.” As soon as Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan’s expression, he knew she thought in the wrong direction.
“At the time, I simply gave her the money… and then left,” Yang Ming said.
“So, you just gave her the money? You didn’t have a sexual relationship with her?” Chen Mengyan listened to Yang Ming’s explanation and breathed a sigh of relief.
“It happened… but…” As Yang Ming just spoke, and Chen Mengyan’s face was already flushed as if she wanted to eat him alive. Yang Ming quickly said, “But… She was Lin Zhiyun!”
“Lin Zhiyun? What?” Chen Mengyan looked at Yang Ming astoundingly. She didn’t expect that Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun had gotten to know each other because of this!
“Yes, she was Lin Zhiyun…” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “Otherwise, do you think she would let me go so easily? You know, I raped her at the time! If she didn’t identify me and said that I was her boyfriend, your husband might be in prison separated from you!”
“So, that was the story…” When Chen Mengyan heard the inside story of these happenings for the first time, the shock she had was even greater. When Yang Ming told her, she was still wondering why Lin Zhiyun would let Yang Ming go so easily. As a matter of fact, that was a serious matter for a girl!
Now, Chen Mengyan finally knew the truth, and she was quite touched. It seemed that Lin Zhiyun was a grateful girl who would make restitution when she was helped. This helped Chen Mengyan like her more.
“It’s really hard for her.” Yang Ming sighed. “Later, we met again, but I didn’t recognize her. She didn’t tell me that she was Lin Zhiyun. Instead, she fabricated a pseudonym called Shen Ling. I didn’t know it at first. I treated her as a close friend.”
“Then later… How did you know that?” Chen Mengyan listened to this story that would only appear in romance novels, which made her fascinated.
She and Yang Ming belonged to the kind of love experience that naturally came along well. They didn’t have any coincidences, so Chen Ming was curious about the story of Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun.
“Later, Lin Zhiyun’s mother, Aunty Shen, discovered that her daughter wasn’t a virgin anymore. Lin Zhiyun didn’t know what to say. She could only say that she had a boyfriend. But Aunty Shen didn’t let her go so easily. Aunty Shen made her bring her boyfriend home.” Yang Ming glanced at Chen Mengyan with a bitter smile.
“I got it. Then she asked you to pretend to be her boyfriend?” Chen Mengyan immediately came up with the key matter to events from Yang Ming’s words.
” En .” Yang Ming nodded. “She told me to pretend to be her boyfriend, so then her real name could no longer be hidden from me. But she doesn’t seem to know it now. I already know that she was the one who I raped.”
“She never mentioned this before?” Chen Mengyan was curious. Lin Zhiyun could completely obtain Yang Ming’s love using this.
“No.” Yang Ming said, “She also asked Xia Xue help her to hide it…”
“Then you… should treat her well later…” Chen Mengyan’s prejudice against Lin Zhiyun no longer existed. There were only empathy and sympathy.
“I know. But Mengyan, I really need to thank you for understanding me.” Yang Ming said.
“It’s fine. Don’t compliment me!” Chen Mengyan said, “Continue to talk about your history.”
” Hehe … well.” Yang Ming smiled and continued, “My first time making money, that was when I went to Yunnan. Zhang Bing, Uncle Zhang, and I were opening rubble jade at a rubble shop… I told you before, right? Lan Ling is a little girl with an accurate sixth sense…”
“No.” Chen Mengyan shook her head and pouted.
” Hehe , don’t be angry. Lan Ling is just a child. Why are you jealous of her?” Yang Ming comforted her. “Lan Ling chose a piece of rubble at the time. As a result, there was an imperial jade inside…”
“Imperial jade?” Chen Mengyan was surprised.
” En , imperial jade, which is the best in jade. The price is lavish.” Yang Ming said, “As a result, in this batch of rubbles, I got three pieces of imperial jade…”
“Three pieces? Are you serious?” Chen Mengyan, although she didn’t know how much the imperial jade was worth, at least, she knew that this high-class jewelry was definitely not cheap. Besides, she knew the chances of finding an imperial jade from the rubble were slim. Yang Ming got three pieces of imperial jade on a trip. This was so terrifying for her!
“The money from selling these pieces of imperial jade was used to open these few companies,” explained Yang Ming.
“So… how much did you get by selling the imperial jades?” Chen Mengyan was stunned. Imperial jade was worth a lot of money. But even it was worth a lot, it couldn’t open so many companies, right?
“At the auction in Hong Kong, it was sold for more than three hundred million…” Yang Ming said slowly.
“More than three hundred million!” Chen Mengyan widened her eyes. She had an incredulous look. “I thought it was already a lot to sell it for a few million. I didn’t expect to sell more than three hundred million. Is it real?”
“The pricing of the auction house is measured in USD…” Yang Ming threw in another blockbuster.
“USD!” Chen Mengyan this time could not control her emotions. This was simply too incredible! A few minutes ago, never mind hundreds of millions, a few million was a huge number for Chen Mengyan. She never thought that she would have such an amount of money in one day.
But Yang Ming actually told her that he had more than three hundred million dollars! This was a bit too shocking, right?
” En , USD.” Yang Ming said seriously, “Now these businesses actually didn’t use much money, so your husband is still a veritable billionaire!”
“Billionaire…” Chen Mengyan was in a state of confusion… Although she had just begun to know that Yang Ming had so much money, this brought her an infinite surprise. But after that, Chen Mengyan was somewhat worried…
