Chapter 228 Threatened
Seeing Hu Jing on the verge of tears, Liu Ergou laughed, hurriedly opened his briefcase, counted out 150,000, and handed it to her.
Holding so much money, Hu Jing couldn't help but burst into a foolish grin. The urge to cry and the silly laughter appeared on her face at the same time. How strange, Liu Ergou thought.
Looking at the giggling Hu Jing, he couldn't help but give her a reminder.
"Alright, stop grinning like a fool. This money isn't a gift, so what's there to be so happy about?"
"Let me warn you now, remember to write me an IOU when you get back. If you don't, I'm taking the money back tomorrow!"
At the mention of him taking the money back, Hu Jing instantly sobered up and began to assure him hurriedly, "Don't worry, don't worry! I will definitely write an IOU. I, Hu Jing, am not the type to default on a debt!"
Liu Ergou remained silent and said no more.
Soon, Hu Jing and Wu Guifang left. Now, only he and Xu Yulan were left at home.
After a simple lunch, Liu Ergou decided to head over to Liu Yunxi's place to see if there was anything he needed help with. After all, Liu Yunxi had worked so hard yesterday; he felt he had to go help him today, no matter what.
With this in mind, Liu Ergou stepped out of his house and started walking toward Liu Yunxi's home.
However, after only a few steps, he bumped straight into a woman. Being tall and sturdy, Liu Ergou's frame sent the woman tumbling to the ground.
The woman on the ground immediately started cursing loudly.
"Who was that? Don't you watch where you're going?"
"What, are those two holes under your eyebrows just for decoration? Ah, you're so annoying!"
"You knocked me over and you're not even going to help me up!"
Just as the woman was ranting angrily, a pair of large hands suddenly grabbed her and lifted her to her feet. Then, a familiar voice spoke.
"Wang Yanli? What are you doing here? Where are you off to?"
Yes, the woman Liu Ergou had knocked over was indeed Wang Yanli. Hearing the familiar voice, she immediately recognized its owner.
"Well, well, if it isn't Er Gou! Where are you headed?"
Liu Ergou replied with a smile, "Where else? I'm going to check on the soil test results. Other than that, I don't have much else to do!"
Wang Yanli, now back on her feet and dusting herself off, hadn't paid attention to his earlier words. However, his last phrase, "nothing much to do," caught her ear.
The words "nothing much to do" instantly invigorated her. Looking at the towering figure of Liu Ergou before her, her eyes gleamed with desire.
Liu Ergou has been away from the village for so long, she thought. I haven't seen him in ages. I've been practically starving! Now that he's delivered himself to my doorstep, I can't possibly let him get away.
At this thought, Wang Yanli smirked. She reached out, grabbed Liu Ergou's arm, and cooed, "Er Gou, you don't have anything to do later, you said?"
"In that case, why don't you drop by my place for a bit? Come to think of it, you've never been to my house, Er Gou!"
Liu Ergou was no fool; he knew exactly what Wang Yanli was implying. However, he just wasn't interested today.
All I want to do right now is check on Liu Yunxi, he thought. I need to see if he needs my help. If he does, I have to lend a hand. I can't let him struggle all by himself.
With that thought, Liu Ergou decisively refused. "No, no, I do have something to do later, not nothing. You must have misheard me, I..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, Wang Yanli threatened him.
"Er Gou, if you don't come with me today, I'll run all over the village screaming that you molested me. We'll see what you do then!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou was stunned. He looked at Wang Yanli, completely dumbfounded.
Wang Yanli, as if in provocation, tilted her chin up, her face a mask of smug arrogance.
With things having escalated to this point, what choice did Liu Ergou have? The next second, Wang Yanli was dragging him away by the arm.
Soon, she had brought Liu Ergou to her home.
Once inside Wang Yanli's house, Liu Ergou couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. He cautiously whispered to her, "Is this really okay? Uncle Lu, he..."
Before he could finish, Wang Yanli cut him off. "Relax, Lu Hongda is at the village committee office. He won't be back for a while, not until this evening. You have nothing to worry about!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded. But in the brief moment it took for him to nod, Wang Yanli had already shed her outerwear, leaving only her bikini.
Seeing the situation before him, Liu Ergou was momentarily at a loss for words. While he was still dazed, Wang Yanli actively reached out and started undoing his belt.
She was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it was undone.
Quickly, Wang Yanli forcibly pulled down Liu Ergou's pants. Looking at him now, she nodded in satisfaction. Liu Ergou noticed that while she was nodding, her gaze was fixed intently on one particular spot.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable. "Um, could you maybe not stare? I'm... I'm not really used to this!"
Seeing Liu Ergou's shy expression, Wang Yanli couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, I never knew you had a shy side, Er Gou!"
"I just love it when you're shy!"
With that, Wang Yanli wasted no more time, pushing him directly onto the bed.
Before long, the otherwise empty room filled with the sound of a melodious song, a tune so pleasant it was utterly delightful.
It was midday. Sunlight streamed through the window, casting its rays directly onto Liu Ergou. Feeling the warm sun, a bold thought suddenly entered his mind.
I've been utterly dominated by Wang Yanli today. This is a huge blow to my pride. No, I have to reclaim my dignity today. Otherwise, her bullying will only get worse.
As this thought crossed his mind, Liu Ergou's eyes flickered.
He scooped Wang Yanli up in his arms and stood. The move was so sudden that Wang Yanli found herself clinging to him like a koala.
"What are you doing, Er Gou?" she asked, her face full of curiosity.
Liu Ergou just chuckled without answering, turned, and walked barefoot toward the door.
