Chapter 157: Boss Zhou Who Bows Down To Money

At that moment, Xu Qinglang felt his scalp go numb. He had seen many ghosts before. He was not afraid of ghosts, but the person in front of him who had just gone to Wu Mountain with him made him feel so horrified that he could not speak.

The woman glanced at him. Seeing how scared he was, she seemed to find it more interesting. She reached out and tapped his chin lightly.

“So cute, like a cute little quail.”

The woman’s fingers were cold, and Xu Qinglang shivered. He immediately put on his clothes and got off the bed. He did not even dare to look at the woman. He threw the money on the bed, but he did not pick it up. Instead, he opened the door and ran out.

Compared to the last time when he woke up with 3,000 yuan on his bedside table, Xu Qinglang felt like he had failed even more today.

He was confused. After leaving the hotel, he squatted down on the curb and lit a cigarette.

This woman is mentally unsound.

But without looking at her bruised wrist, she was really beautiful.

It was as if there was no such thing as perfect or perfect in this world. God would habitually create a flaw in beautiful things, as if this was what God wanted.

For most men, it seems satisfying for a nice family who is willing to give you money and have high skills in bed to be your friend.

In fact, Xu Qinglang had more or less had the same thought before. That kind of carelessness did not affect his life at all. He only wanted to pursue a moment of pleasure. It was enough to let down all his defenses and willingly sink into it.

Xu Qinglang scratched his head in pain.

At that moment, a pair of high heels appeared behind Xu Qinglang. Xu Qinglang turned around and saw the woman.

The woman was still smoking. Her wrist was wrapped in a sleeve, and she could not see any flaws. She bent down and looked at Xu Qinglang. The deep groove on her chest was so deep that most men could not take their eyes off her.

“Little brother, are you scared out of your wits by sister?”

Xu Qinglang shook his head and continued to smoke without looking at her.

“Then I’m leaving. We’ll meet again when you’re in a good mood. Oh, right, here’s your money.”

The woman took the money out of her purse.

“I don’t want it. I don’t need money.”

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she was looking at a stubborn baby. She said,

“What a coincidence. I don’t lack either.”

Whoosh!

The woman tossed the tens of thousands of cash into the air. The cash started to fly, attracting the attention of many passers-by. Then she got into the car parked next to her and left.

Xu Qinglang sat among the notes, which reminded him of a scene from a movie he watched when he was young.

He also raised the money, and then the man and the woman danced in the rain of cash.

Xu Qinglang sniffed and stood up silently.

He took a few steps outside.

Then he stopped.

Looking back, there was a pile of money on the floor.

Ha,

Do I lack money?

He turned around and continued walking.

At that moment, a few passersby saw Xu Qinglang leave and subconsciously moved closer to pick up the money.

Xu Qinglang stopped again.

He quickly walked back.

“I don’t lack money, but that guy is lacking money. If he knew that I was willing to give up the money on the ground for some so-called face, he would definitely scold me to death!”

…

“Achoo!”

In the bookstore, Boss Zhou, who had been reading the newspaper for half the night, sneezed loudly.

“Boss, did you catch a cold?” Bai Yingying asked with concern.

“Heh, someone must have missed him.” The old Daoist priest calculated with his fingers. “Tsk tsk tsk, that should be the case.”

“The floor is a little dirty. We have to drag it again,” Zhou Ze said slowly.

The old Daoist priest immediately pulled a long face and bitterly picked up the mop to begin cleaning.

At that moment, a Porsche stopped at the entrance of the bookstore, and a woman in exquisite clothes walked in. The woman looked to be in her thirties. From top to bottom, she gave off a graceful air.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful. It’s like a lotus flower coming out of the water.” Bai Yingying sighed.

This was normal, because this woman was indeed beautiful. She was the type that looked more attractive the more one looked at her.

“The dew on the hibiscus hasn’t been wiped off yet.”

Zhou Ze smiled.

The woman’s cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were watery. There was a loose energy around her, like a land that had just been nourished by spring rain. It was the life force that had been nurturing her heart.

“Who’s the boss?”

The woman looked around and asked.

Zhou Ze frowned. Who was the boss?

Could this high school girl holding a cup of coffee be the boss?

Could the old farmer who was moping be the boss?

There were only three people in the store.

Who’s the boss?

Are you blind?

Zhou Ze pursed his lips and ignored her. You’re a living person, not a ghost.

In the end, no one bothered with this woman.

Bai Yingying went to tidy up the bar counter while the old Daoist priest continued to mop the floor.

Zhou Ze continued to lie on the sofa.

“I’m looking for your boss. Wang Ke introduced me to him.”

At the mention of Wang Ke, Zhou Ze slowly sat up straight.

When the woman saw Zhou Ze, she walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

He directly said,

“My husband has been experiencing some psychological problems recently, and he feels like he has seen a ghost. I’ve asked Doctor Wang to take a look, and Doctor Wang recommended that I come here to look for you. He said that you are an expert in this field.”

Zhou Ze did not answer the woman. Instead, he took out his phone and prepared to scold Wang Ke. He had promised that he would not cause trouble for his side, but now he had been pushed to do something stupid.

Was his previous promise bullshit?

There was a limit to how much he could help and care for his friends. After all, Zhou Ze had never thought of himself as a living thunderbolt.

Before he could make the call,

The woman tossed a bank card onto the coffee table.

“There is one million inside this card. The password is 003003.”

Zhou Ze’s call to Wang Ke was interrupted. Zhou Ze was furious. Didn’t you see that I was about to call?

You threw a card on the coffee table and said there was a million inside, but you still gave the password?

Don’t you know how many hundreds of thousands of funerary objects my maid threw out?

Don’t you know that my old man who ditches the floor will earn a huge sum of money by opening a live broadcast?

Don’t you see that my family has more than twenty chefs?

Zhou Ze put down his phone.

Reaching out,

He picked up the card.

Sigh…

He had been too good to others and valued friendship too much.

He had to help his friend.

“This is the deposit.”

The woman added.

Zhou Ze’s hand trembled.

Sigh, her injuries were not fully healed yet. Her body was just a little weak, and her hands were shaking just from holding a small card.

“Yingying, the guests are here. Why aren’t you serving coffee?” Zhou Ze shouted at the bar counter unhappily.

“Coming!”

Bai Yingying immediately came over with a cup of coffee.

The woman looked at Zhou Ze calmly. She enjoyed the feeling of throwing money at someone to make them surrender.

Be it in bed or under the bed, be it a man or a woman, she would use the money in her hands to achieve success.

“Tell me about your situation. How old is your husband?” Zhou Ze asked.

“He’s 93 this year,” the woman answered.

Zhou Ze looked at the woman in surprise.

“Yes, I got together with him because of his money and inheritance. Then I told him that we were true love, and the old man believed me.”

The woman said calmly.

“Thank you for your honesty.”

“If I’m not honest, you’ll think that way too.”

The woman picked up the coffee and took a sip. She frowned slightly.

“No sugar.”

“I don’t like sugar,” Zhou Ze said.

The woman put down her coffee. “In any case, when you have time, you can come to my house to visit my husband. He has been too suspicious recently, causing the normal life between husband and wife to be impossible.”

Pu…

Zhou Ze choked on his coffee.

Bai Yingying carefully wiped the boss’s mouth with a tissue before retreating.

“With all due respect, I think you should have hoped that he would die sooner.”

“Yes, he was about to die. He was lying on the bed and could not get out of the bed, but it was when he started screaming that he had seen a ghost that his mental state became much better.”

The woman continued worriedly,

“At this rate, I think he might not die yet. I’m talking about natural death.”

“I understand. Then, what was the purpose of your invitation?”

“To deal with his current condition, I don’t care if he is suffering from Alzheimer’s or if there is really a ghost haunting him. I want him to return to normal and then continue to lie in bed and wait for death like before.

“Okay, I agree. I will try my best to cure your husband.”

A cold smile appeared on the woman’s lips.

“Hypocrite.”

“By the way, did your husband say who was pestering him?

What I mean is, who is the ghost that is pestering him?

Do you know him? ”

“His ex-wife, his son, his daughter, his grandson, his granddaughter, and his great-granddaughter.”

The woman counted with her fingers.

“Many people.”

“Sorry, are they already?”

“Five years ago, one of the big families held a party on a cruise ship, and they met with an accident. The cruise ship sank, and none of the people on board survived. Other than him, who happened to come ashore that day to discuss business, his whole family was gone.

“Oh.”

Zhou Ze nodded.

Looking at it this way, it was very likely that the old man was haunted by the dead souls or was affected by mental pressure.

“Then how long have you been married to him?”

“Five years.”

The woman replied calmly.

Zhou Ze did not continue asking as he weighed the bank card in his hand.

This was a pool of muddy water. No, it was very likely a manure pit.

If he walked over, he might dirty himself. At least, he would smell the stench.

“The deposit is one million. After this is done, five million.” The woman looked at Zhou Ze, and her smooth fingers lightly touched the back of his hand.

Bai Yingying pouted at the side. She was already so old, yet she still seduced men!

Yingying had never thought that in terms of age, the other people in the study room, including the old Daoist priest, were not as old as her.

“Plus, I slept with you three times,” the woman added.

Bai Yingying’s expression became even uglier.

Damn!

How shameless!

Zhou Ze quietly moved the woman’s hand away.

“Cancel the last condition and exchange it for eight million, how about that?”
