After making the call, Liu Yang picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
But Wenren Qiluo, who was sitting opposite, had no intention of moving her chopsticks and sat quietly alone.
Liu Yang knew that Wenren Qiluo was feeling very sad right now.
"Mr. Liu, do you want to hear my story?"
Wenren Qiluo said.
"——"
Liu Yang was stunned. He wanted to say that he didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't keep his face.
"Go ahead," Liu Yang put down his chopsticks and said.
Wenren Qiluo said softly: "I believe you should know my identity as a member of the Salt Gang, and my father is the leader of the Salt Gang."
Liu Yang guessed it and was not surprised.
The Luo family of Shanglu, being able to recruit a half-step master as a guest, is definitely a prestigious family that is not inferior to any force in Jinling.
After marrying into such a big family, will Wenren Qiluo's identity be simple?
"But I am my father's illegitimate daughter," Wenren Qiluo said with a bitter expression.
Illegitimate daughter?
Liu Yang did not expect this, and his face was full of surprise.
"My mother is from Jinling. She studied in university in Kyoto. During the summer vacation, she went to my father's house to be a tutor. Unexpectedly, one night, my father drank too much and gave my mother to——"
Wenren Qiluo hesitated: "Then my mother got pregnant with me. My mother was just an ordinary little woman who couldn't afford to offend their salt gang, but my father was extremely overbearing. He didn't want any women he touched.
Other men got involved, and he didn't really like my mother, but he let my mother stay in their house."
"In my father's house, my mother was ostracized by everyone, especially my father's first wife. She was beaten and scolded whenever she could -"
As he said this, Wenren Qiluo's eyes filled with hatred.
The more Liu Yang listened, the more chilled he felt.
It's obviously the Salt Gang leader's fault, why should a woman have to bear it?
If you don't like it, why bother holding on to it?
Liu Yang was not angry, but since the leader of the Salt Gang was Wenren Qiluo's father, he couldn't say much.
"I chose to go to school when I was very young and rarely went home. I wanted to get ahead and have the strength to protect my mother and not let her be bullied again," Wenren Qiluo said.
Liu Yang shook his head and said: "But now you still rely on the name of the Salt Gang to have a place in Jinling."
"Yes, I hate him, but I have to rely on his power," Wenren Qiluo said with a sad smile.
Of course, Wenren Qiluo's mother still lives in her father's house, but a woman who is not popular and even disliked by her master can only be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone screams for beating her.
Wenren Qiluo said: "My father said that as long as I can control the underground world of Jinling and become the only underground force, I can take my mother away from their home."
"But I didn't expect that he couldn't wait to get me married. Maybe in his view, my illegitimate daughter was a stumbling block that he wanted to throw away early," Wenren Qiluo said.
"well!"
Liu Yang sighed deeply. He thought it was miserable enough for Jiang Shiya to be ostracized by her family, but he didn't expect Wenren Qiluo to be even worse off than Jiang Shiya.
There is a saying that the most ruthless family is the royal family, and the same is true for big families.
Even though Liu Yang had just arrived in Jinling not long ago, he also knew that the underground forces in Jinling were much more complicated than those in Nanjiang, and several of them were extremely skilled.
These forces cannot avoid fighting each other. Wenren Qiluo's desire to annex them all is simply a fantasy.
Liu Yang shook his head and said: "Miss Wenren, I'm not very good at comforting people. I can only sympathize with your life experience."
"Mr. Liu——"
Wenren Qiluo said somewhat unspeakably: "Can you help me?"
Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, and said without comment: "I'm sorry, I don't want to participate in some underground struggle."
Wenren Qiluo could not hide the disappointment in her eyes——
In fact, she guessed, how could Mr. Liu, a low-key and reserved person who didn't want to show his sharp edge, want to get involved with the dark forces.
"Let's eat," Liu Yang said.
Not to mention that Wenren Qiluo and he were not related, even if they were related, Liu Yang would not help.
Liu Yang, who has been taught by his grandfather since childhood, hates evil so much, how could he join the underworld?
After listening to Wenren Qiluo's story, Liu Yang felt that the atmosphere had become a little sad.
Liu Yang didn't want to stay here for a long time, he just wanted to finish eating and leave quickly.
"Dong dong——"
Just as Liu Yang finished the remaining food in his bowl, there was a knock on the door.
A squeak!
The box door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a rich face walked in.
The most attractive thing is the jewelry he wears, the jade pendant around his neck, the jade rings on his fingers, and several more. On the wrists of both hands, there are also a string of wooden bracelets exuding sandalwood.
In today's era, wearing gold and silver can no longer show wealth, but wearing jade jewelry with completely inestimable value can show your nobility and rich status.
But when Liu Yang saw the evil aura hidden in the fat man's divine light, his heart skipped a beat.
Good guy, Wraith?
It is really rare for someone to be haunted by a resentful spirit!
"Mr. Yang, what brought you here," Wenren Qiluo said with a smile.
Mr. Yang chuckled and said, "I just happened to be passing by here. I took advantage of the meal to see if you have received any weird treasures here."
With that said, Mr. Yang looked at Liu Yang: "Who is this?"
The status of a person who can have dinner alone with Wenren Qiluo should not be simple.
Wenren Qiluo was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she didn't know how to introduce Liu Yang.
Knowing that Liu Yang has always kept a low profile, Wenren Qiluo introduced: "A friend of a friend came over to buy something."
"what?"
Mr. Yang asked curiously.
Wenren Qiluo blurted out subconsciously: "Hu Zi!"
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wenren Qiluo immediately secretly said, "It's bad!"
Huzi means chamber pot, and Mr. Yang understands that.
"Tiger?"
Mr. Yang was startled, then laughed loudly and said, "No wonder I heard that your auction house is buying tiger seeds everywhere, and you still want the kind that contain liquid."
As for the liquid, everyone knows it.
"Brother, your hobby is a bit unusual," Mr. Yang said teasingly.
Liu Yang's face darkened, but he didn't know how to explain it. He wanted to complain to Wenren Qiluo, "You can pick up the pot if it doesn't open!"
"hehe!"
Liu Yang didn't know what to say, so he could only smile.
"Mr. Liu, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Yang of Qunding Real Estate Company," Wenren Qiluo looked embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject.
"Aspirational Company?"
As the vice president of a real estate company, how could Liu Yang not have heard of it?
