It’s a sunny day in Jincheng, an ordinary sunny day. Pedestrians on the road have sweat on their foreheads, and a graceful woman is holding an umbrella to block the sun. Her fair skin seems to reflect light in the sun.
"I'm back."
At the end of the street, the evil tiger-like man appeared. He seemed to be walking day and night, and there was unconcealable fatigue in his brows. However, at this moment, he was holding the card tightly in his hand, as if he was holding something terrible.
.
Pedestrians were a little scared when they saw him and subconsciously gave way to him. But he seemed to be used to this kind of treatment. He just walked forward with his head buried and his eyes fixed on the street corner.
Snap.
Simba opened the door to the old place, this corner tavern.
Many people noticed this regular customer of the tavern, but this time, many people had some inexplicable emotions in their eyes.
Whether it was a joke or a hint of ridicule, Simba couldn't tell the difference between these people's eyes. He just looked quickly towards the stands, but did not find the familiar figure.
"Where's Lin Na!"
This immediately made him panic. He seemed to have a sudden feeling of panic.
In several years, he has never been away from here for such a long time, just once.
Snap, snap, snap.
He rushed into the dressing mirror at the back of the stand. The dancers had seen all kinds of people, but they were still shocked when they saw this fierce-looking man.
"Where's Lin Na? Where's Lin Na?" Simba roared at these dancers. Looking at these scantily clad dancers, he didn't have any emotion, he just roared.
The dancers were in a panic, hesitating and no one could say anything.
"Lin Na, I was ransomed a few days ago." Finally, a dancer who seemed to be familiar with Lin Na stood up and spoke in a low voice.
The sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Simba was stunned, but a few seconds later, he roared again, "Who is it! Who can redeem her!"
"Song Xiaocai, the son of Song Yun, the Lord of Jincheng City." The dancer replied, looking at Simba who was about to rush out, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Simba, Song Xiao is the Young City Master, don't be impulsive..."
Snap.
Before he finished speaking, Simba had already slammed the door and left, leaving only a group of slightly dull dancers behind.
They were extremely afraid of such a vicious person, but after he left, some of them still couldn't help but speak.
"This Simba, if Lin Na stays with him, she should have a good life."
"But people like Song Xiaocai are rich and powerful."
“Is having money and power more important than sincerity?”
"Anyway, I think sincerity is important..."
"That's because you haven't met anyone rich or powerful. Everything has a price. When I was in my prime, there were many people who were sincere to me. Do I have to marry them one by one?"
…
"Lina!"
Simba's voice sounded at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, attracting many people's attention.
The door to the city lord's mansion soon opened, but what came out was a man who looked very thin.
He was Song Xiaocai. When he saw Simba standing at the door, he didn't show any panic. He just frowned and said, "Simba, what are you doing?"
"Sir?" Seeing Song Xiaocai, Simba was also stunned for a moment.
Obviously, the two of them were superiors and subordinates. Simba didn't care about worldly affairs. In the past years, he only knew that the person who paid him salary every month was an adult. He never thought that he was Song Xiaocai.
"What's the matter with you?" Song Xiaocai just asked.
"Sir, I'm here to see Lin Na." Simba replied, taking out the card in his hand, "I have 10 million to redeem her."
"You have ten million?" Looking at the card Simba took out, Song Xiaocai was a little surprised, but soon, he showed a joking expression, "But you are a little late."
"Lin Na has been redeemed by me and is now my concubine."
"Concubine..." These words immediately made Simba's heart sink, and then he shook his head, "Impossible. It is impossible for someone like Lin Na to be someone else's concubine."
"How is it impossible?" These words made the teasing in Song Xiaocai's eyes deepen, "otherwise, let you meet her? Ask in person?"
It was originally a teasing remark, but Simba took it seriously. He nodded heavily, "Okay."
This made Song Xiaocai a little helpless, but soon he ordered his servants to pass the order.
After a while, Lin Na arrived, but now she had changed her appearance. She didn't need heavy makeup and was wearing a dancer's costume. She was covered in expensive wrought mink hair. At first glance, with her appearance, she seemed to be a born noblewoman.
people.
"Simba?" Looking at the person coming, Lin Na was a little surprised.
"Lin Na, I have money to redeem you." Looking at Lin Na, Simba just raised the card in his hand, "I have earned ten million."
Looking at the card, Lin Na was stunned for a moment. At this moment, she seemed to suddenly come to her senses, and many pictures appeared in her mind.
It turned out that he came to see me every day, but never paid a dollar. Was it to redeem himself and leave...
The mixed emotions in his mind were a bit overwhelming, but in the end, Song Xiaocai's cough woke Lin Na up.
"Simba, thank you." Lin Na spoke up, restraining her emotions, looking at Song Xiaocai's eyes, and said as calmly as possible, "I have been ransomed by Young Master Song Xiaocai, and now I am his concubine.
.”
"You can use the money to ransom another person you like."
"I don't have another person I like." Simba replied, staring at Lin Na. At this moment, it seemed a little hard to believe, "How is this possible? You were a girl who didn't even want to be touched by a drunk guest.
, how could you be willing to marry someone else as a concubine..."
"Are you being coerced?"
"Simba, pay attention to what you say." After hearing this, Song Xiaocai became a little impatient. He hugged Lin Na and kissed her provocatively.
"I gave you the opportunity to ask, and you confirmed it. Is there anything else you can say?"
"Go away, you earned 10 million, find another dancer, and miss someone else's concubine, what does that mean?"
When the voice fell, Simba just looked at Lin Na, as if it was still difficult to accept it, and asked persistently, "Lin Na, are you willing?"
Lin Na's face was complicated when she heard this question again. She was hugged by Song Xiaocai, and she clearly felt the other party's forceful embrace, which was like intimidation.
But at this time, she was very awake, her eyes moved from Simba, and finally, she looked at the clothes on her body, and sighed quietly.
"Simba, people change. When I was in my teens, I could live happily without paying for anything and earning hundreds of dollars in tips every day."
"But I am twenty-two years old this year. What I want is freedom and a life without worries about food and clothing. I don't want to be a dancer anymore."
"If you come with me, I can give you a life without worries about food and clothing." Simba seemed stubborn. At this moment, he looked at Song Xiaocai with a hint of ferocity, "As long as you are willing, I can take you away now."
Song Xiaocai's expression changed, "Simba, you are so bold..."
"I don't want to." Lin Na's voice sounded in advance. She looked at Simba, her eyes regained her composure, "Simba, don't you understand yet?"
"I have become a vulgar woman. I only love money and power. What I want is a carefree and respected life."
"What can I gain by following you? Will I be able to eat and sleep in the open air, or will men farm and women weave... I have lived too many such hard lives, and I want to live a little more of the good life in my dreams."
"You go."
With that said, Lin Na seemed to have completely let go of the complicated thoughts in her heart. She just leaned back, closed her eyes, and seemed to approach Song Xiaocai's arms obediently.
Song Xiaocai laughed loudly, glanced at Simba who was stunned, laughed mockingly, and walked towards the gate with steps.
Simba just stayed there, watching the two people enter the door, watching the city lord's mansion close the door, without saying a word.
The sunny day slowly changed color, and later, it rained heavily.
Until the evening, the rain accumulated, and Simba just stood at the door of the city lord's palace, clutching the card, motionless, letting the rain drip down and smeared on his face, not knowing whether it was just rain or whose tears.
"Let's go."
I don't know when, a figure appeared next to Simba.
He was carrying a heavy sword and holding a black umbrella. His face was very calm. He did not look at Simba. He just looked at the city lord's mansion in front of him quietly. He looked like a guest who came to mourn.
"I will give you the power and money she loves, and it will be thousands of times better than what she has now."
