Chapter 4: The Best Quality CEO

Thinking about this, her heart pounded rapidly.

She even couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was much more handsome and stronger than Lin Jian...

And ever since Lin Jian had his car accident four years ago, he hadn't touched her at all. She had been holding back for four whole years...

What if...

At this moment, Lin Dong spoke up, "Sister Bai Jue, what I mean is, if we give him five hundred thousand, will he delete the videos on his phone, divorce you, and give you your freedom?"

Bai Jue blushed, realizing she had misunderstood earlier.

"He probably would. In his eyes, I'm not worth even five hundred thousand," she said with a bitter smile, shaking her head.

"Okay, Sister Bai Jue. Give me some time, and I'll get the five hundred thousand to buy the video and your freedom," Lin Dong said.

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Bai Jue felt a warmth in her heart, a long-lost feeling.

But soon, she shook her head with a bitter smile.

*It wasn't easy to come up with five hundred thousand.*

*In her eyes, Lin Dong was just a kid from the countryside who hadn't even gone to university.*

*Coming to the city to make a living, being able to support himself was already something.*

*As for making money, especially five hundred thousand, that was just too difficult!*

"Alright, Dongzi, it's already very late tonight. You should go get some rest."

She shook her head and led Lin Dong to the room.

The room, although shabby, was very clean and tidy.

"Dongzi, I'm really sorry. The place is simple and crude, and you'll have to squeeze in with me for the night," Bai Jue said, feeling awkward.

Lin Dong blushed, "Sister Bai Jue, isn't that inappropriate? I should sleep on the sofa in the living room."

"No, that sofa is impossible to sleep on. It reeks of the stench from Lin Jian's body, the smell of beer... Stay in my room, squeeze in with me. There are two beds in my room, you can sleep on the small bed," Bai Jue said.

Learning there were two beds, Lin Dong, although a bit embarrassed, nodded in agreement.

Once it became quiet, Bai Jue thought of what had happened at the small inn in the station earlier, feeling extremely ashamed with her face all red.

Lin Dong also felt a bit awkward...

"Uh, Dongzi, go take a shower, the bathroom is over there," Bai Jue pointed toward the bathroom, speaking to Lin Dong.

"Okay," Lin Dong grabbed a set of clean clothes and quickly went to the bathroom.

Once inside, Bai Jue's face finally cooled down a bit.

But suddenly, she remembered something.

"Oh no, how could I have forgotten... It's still in the bathroom."

Thinking about this, she hastily opened the bathroom door with a bang.

Lin Dong was startled, covering himself with a towel.

"Sister Bai Jue, what are you doing?"

"Cough cough..." Bai Jue's face turned even redder. She quickly walked in and grabbed something from the niche in the bathroom wall.

Lin Dong was puzzled, "Sister Bai Jue, what is that in your hand?"

"Just take your shower, kids shouldn't ask so many questions."

Lin Dong was left speechless, "Sister Bai Jue, I'm already twenty, not a kid anymore."

Bai Jue gave him a furtive glance, *secretly thinking to herself, "He's definitely not small."*

She was taken aback, her mind running wild.

Coming back to her senses, her neck was red as well.

*"Pfft..." she silently scolded herself, this was her husband's brother. Ah, it seems I've been holding it in for too long..."*

Not daring to look at Lin Dong any longer, she quickly left the bathroom.

Lin Dong scratched his head, feeling a bit parched.

*He had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run, right?*

*He had watched 'romance' films and knew what that thing was...*

*But he never expected that Sister Bai Jue would have it in the bathroom...*

*It seemed that Brother Jian wasn't just addicted to gambling; he likely had also neglected Sister Bai Jue...*

Shaking his head, Lin Dong quickly stopped overthinking and stood under the flower shower in the bathroom.

After dousing himself with cold water, the restlessness in his body subsided.

After his bath, he returned to the room to find that Sister Bai Jue had already fallen asleep on one of the beds.

As she slept, her fair-skinned face was furrowed, showing that even in her dreams, she was troubled.

In her sleep, she occasionally murmured, "Don't push me anymore, if you do, I'll really die..."

Tears trickled down her cheeks as she murmured.

Seeing this, Lin Dong's heart ached. Such a wonderful woman Sister Bai Jue was, but Lin Jian, that beast, didn't treasure her.

He clenched his fists, deciding to start earning money the next day.

He had learned a lot of medical arts, including various traditional Chinese remedies, so making money wouldn't be difficult for him.

...

Early the next morning, when Lin Dong woke up, he saw Bai Jue dressed in a nurse uniform.

Her primary job was being a nurse at Jianghai Renmin's Hospital.

"Dongzi, I'm off to work. Wait for me to come back," Bai Jue said before leaving.

"Okay, Sister Bai Jue. I'll go out for a walk later and then call home to let them know I'm safe," Lin Dong replied.

Calling home?

Hearing this, Bai Jue quickly walked over, nervously reminding him,

"Dongzi, when you call home, don't mention anything about last night to your folks."

"Promise me, and wait for me to come back at night."

Lin Dong's face reddened as he thought about what had happened in the alley last night...

*His heart couldn't stop racing.*

"Alright, remember that. Sister Bai Jue is going to be late for work, I have to go quickly..." she said and left in a hurry.

After she left, Lin Dong took a deep breath.

He needed to make money, both for his living expenses and to redeem the fifty thousand for Sister Bai Jue!

Besides that, cultivating the Third Level of Nine Shifts Longevity Technique required a large amount of high-quality herbs, which needed a great deal of money.

This was one of his main reasons for coming to the world.

He carried a nylon bag as he headed out the door.

Inside were traditional Chinese medicine remedies he had made from herbs gathered in the mountains.

These remedies could treat hundreds of diseases!

After leaving, he found a bustling street corner and set up a stall to sell his medicine.

"Ancestral formulas, curing hundreds of diseases!"

As he set up his stall, it attracted a considerable crowd.

However, everyone pointed fingers at him.

"In this day and age, there are still such clumsy scammers out there!"

"Look at him, so young and handsome. He could totally live off a woman. Why did he choose to be a scammer?"

"The world is going downhill; all kinds of riffraff are coming out."

"..."

In response to these accusations, Lin Dong said, "My medicine can genuinely treat hundreds of diseases. You don't have to believe me, you can try it for free first."

"Who wants to try it? It might kill you after you try it!"

"Yeah, who knows if your medicine is poisoned."

Lin Dong felt helpless, *it seemed like people in the city really didn't trust traditional Chinese medicine.*

At this moment, a mature, elegant woman stepped out from the watching crowd.

The woman appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, standing about one meter seventy-five.

She wore a hip-hugging skirt, paired with red high-heeled shoes, accentuating her long, fair-skinned legs at one meter eleven.

Her top was a white shirt, with buttons struggling to contain her ample bust.

Her hair was styled in big waves, and she wore glasses.

She exuded both sensuality and intelligence.

Such a woman walking down the street would almost certainly garner a one hundred percent head-turn rate.

At this moment, everyone looked at her.

Some even recognized her.

"It's the CEO Li Qingcheng of Qingcheng International, the cosmetics company across the street..."

"This woman is just too desirable. If I could spend one night with her, I'd willingly lose ten years of my life,"

"She's walking toward that scammer. Could it be that she finds him handsome and wants to keep him?"
