Volume 1 Chapter 5 You're an orphan, huh?

  From after school, Xiaolan had been looking for a part-time job but kept hitting a wall. It wasn't until the sky turned dark that she trudged back to her cheap rental apartment with heavy footsteps.

  "Oh, Blue is back, huh?" The landlady was overly enthusiastic, startling Xiaolan, "Uh, Auntie, I know I need to pay the rent, I'll be on time next month."

  "Oh dear, what's with the rent? You're just a young girl, it can't be easy for you. Auntie wouldn't be so inhumane."

  Xia Lan was stunned, usually as fierce as a tigress, what's wrong with the landlady today?

  "Blue blue, hurry up and go in, there's a friend looking for you." She winked at Xiaolan, her two eyes that were almost closed into a slit surprisingly sparkled with a hint of flirtation.

  "Friend?" Xia Lan walked in with a puzzled expression, saw the person inside, and her heart skipped a beat, "Ol...old...boss?!"

  Viscount Fei sat in her small room of only a dozen or so square meters, his tall stature squeezed into the tiny sofa, yet still exuding an air of dignity and elegance. As if, because of him, this humble abode had also become high-end.

  In those few short seconds, dozens of cruel means of revenge appeared in Xiaolan's mind. And the most tragic ending was to be raped and then killed!

  She didn't dare to think anymore, and turned around to run. Just as she opened the door, two burly men, both over 190 cm tall, were standing outside, blocking her way like gatekeepers.

  Xiaolan's small face turned pale with fright, slowly turning around, swallowing hard, "Elder... elder boss, if there was any misunderstanding before, I apologize to you."

  Viscount Fei smiled slightly, stood up, and walked over. Xia Lan immediately stuck to the wall, staring at him in terror, "Murder is against the law! No matter how much money you have, you can't escape the punishment of the law!"

  Viscount Fei was taken aback, "Murder?"

  "I know you have a triad background, killing me is like crushing an ant, but heaven has eyes, God will avenge me!" After shouting these words with all her might, Xia Lan tightly closed her eyes, her thin body trembling non-stop.

  But she waited for half a day, and the other party didn't make a move. Quietly opening her eyes, she met Viscount Fei's sneering gaze, "Without a body worth tens of millions, you don't even have the qualification to be killed by me."

  His words were sarcastic and left no room for defense. Xia Lan looked at him timidly, "I don't have any money."

  "I know." Viscount Fei pulled out a check and put it on the table, "I don't like to beat around the bush, here's 10 million, for you."

  Xia Lan's eyes widened in shock as she covered her mouth, then forced herself to calm down and muttered, "No need to give such a large hush fee."

  "I want you, come to bed with me."

  Xia Lan suddenly raised her head, "What do you take me for? A prostitute?"

  "No," said Viscount Fei, shaking his head, "this price is several hundred times higher than that of a prostitute."

  Repeated insults had enraged Xiaolan, and she didn't know where her courage came from. She grabbed the check, tore it to shreds, then pushed him hard towards the door. "Get out! Get out of here! You're not welcome here!"

  Viscount Fei's eyes didn't move, he lowered his head and glanced at her, "200 million."

  "Who wants your stinky money? I don't want it!"

  "Thirty million."

  "Go to hell with your thirty million!"

  Viscount Fei suddenly turned around, Xia Lan was caught off guard and pounced into his arms. He took advantage of the momentum to catch her, "You're an orphan, aren't you?"

  Xia Lán's body shook, the word "orphan" had been with her since childhood, like a label stuck to her feet that she couldn't shake off. She slowly raised her head, staring at this man who was a head taller than her, "What does it matter? Must an orphan necessarily accept your charity?"
