Chapter 5: The beautiful source of trouble
Jiang Bai wasn't the type of guy who would be stunned out of his mind whenever he saw a pretty woman. Although the woman before him was truly good looking, it was clear she had a bad personality. He did not have the habit of fawning over someone who did not care about him anyway. He couldn't bring himself to do something like dropping his dignity to please any pretty woman he met. Thus, he shrugged and turned to press the button of the elevator, ignoring the woman.
When the woman saw how Jiang Bai was behaving, she was slightly stunned. Then, a toying smile formed on her face. With great difficulty, she stood back up and wobbled torward Jiang Bai. Her fair arm rested on his shoulder as she leaned in, whispering seductively to his ear with her warm lips, "Handsome boy, are you my new neighbor? I am Yao Lan. What's your name? It has been a while since you moved in, right? Why have I not seen you around?"
"Jiang Bai."
Jiang Bai frowned before looking at Yao Lan and answered with a gentle smile on his face.
"What do you do for living?" Yao Lan asked.
"Unemployed."
"Where are you going? Do you want to come get a drink at my place? I'm staying opposite your apartment. As for the other apartment on the floor, the person staying there is very mysterious. I don't know who that person is, and he's rarely around anyway. It's like the two of us are the only ones staying on this floor. We need to nurture an intimate relationship in the future." Yao Lan's voice rang out again as she spoke seductively.
Jiang Bai could not understand why she was doing this, and he also couldn't understand what she was trying to do. After all, they were complete strangers. Moreover, this Yao Lan was only about 25 or 26 years old, a youthful age. With her exceptional looks and figure, she did not seem like a woman who couldn't get a man. There was no need for her to seduce someone she had just met. What exactly was this woman trying to do?
"I'm going out to grab a meal. As for getting a drink at your place, no thanks. This late at night, it's not proper for a man to visit a woman's place alone." Jiang Bai rejected Yao Lan's seemingly irresistible proposal. In truth, he definitely wouldn't mind doing something intimate with her, but the entire situation was too fishy and he had no idea what this woman was planning.
"You're jobless? How about I introduce a job to you? The wage isn't too high, but that's a job with a bright future. In any case, it's better than staying at home doing nothing. You have spent an entire month hiding in your apartment. Perhaps you're a shut-in? As a man, you need to do something with your life. As for your meal...well, I'm getting hungry as well. How about buying me a meal? Or perhaps...let me buy you a meal?"
Even after being rejected by Jiang Bai, Yao Lan did not seem like she was going to give up. She brought her seductive body near Jiang Bai and when the elevator's door opened, she stepped inside without saying anything else. And after entering, she gestured at him seductively with her finger while blinking her pair of wide eyes. She was obviously giving her all to seduce him.
"The fuck?"
Jiang Bai cursed without stop inwardly. What exactly was this woman trying to do? Had he encountered a legendary female sex maniac today? From his observation, everything she wore, including her handbag, were branded products. The Cartier watch on her wrist alone was already worth as much as the entire savings of an ordinary person. No matter how he looked at her, she did not seem like a prostitute...
"Maybe she's a high-end prostitute?" As Jiang Bai entered the elevator, he couldn't help but to start guessing in his mind, estimating the market price of prostitutes in his mind. He heard before that these high-end prostitutes could get quite expensive. Although he had some money now, he had only gotten several tens of thousands today. The remaining balance would only arrive next month. He wondered if he could afford her with what he had right now...
Yao Lan did not react to what Jiang Bai was thinking as she had no way of knowing what he was thinking anyway. After they both entered the elevator, she pressed the button, and the door closed. In the narrow space, the two fell into silence, with Yao Lan leaning against the corner of the elevator silently, her arms crossed.
"I have been drinking so I won't drive. I know a stall nearby with some decent food. It's near so we can go there on foot. Come with me." Right after they stepped out the elevator, Yao Lan wrapped her arm around Jiang Bai's right arm without hesitation. She was nearly hanging from him. Jiang Bai couldn't help but to shiver at this. His first instinct was to break off from her, yet at the same time, he couldn't bear to separate himself from her as well. Thus, he accepted his fate and started enjoying the moment.
Like a pair of lovers, they two walked out the building. The security guard on duty stood there blankly, his mouth wide agape looking at the two. From the shock and doubt in his eyes, it was obvious this fellow knew Yao Lan as well. But that was understandable. Any man would notice a woman so beautiful living near them. It would be a lie if Jiang Bai claimed that he did not feel smug after looking at the envy, shock and doubt in the security guard's eyes. But the beautiful feeling was cut short by a furious voice.
"Yao Lan! Who is he?" A man around 30 years old in a black suit walked out from the shade of a tree and pointed at Jiang Bai angrily.
"My boyfriend!"
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes at her words, reaching a conclusion at what she was actually trying to do. It was no wonder Yao Lan was behaving so warmly even though they had just met. So she was merely planning to make use of him after seeing him going downstairs. She was clearly using him as a shield! But who was this man over here? Was he the boyfriend? Or merely an annoying housefly?
In truth, the man looked decent. He was around 30 years all and was neatly dressed. He had a fair skin tone, and the clothes he wore looked expensive as well. From how he looked, it was clear he was someone successful in life. But for some reason, his face looked rather sinister, giving off a feeling of discomfort to whoever looking at his face. Therefore, it was understandable why Yao Lan did not like him.
"Boyfriend? Since when have you gotten a boyfriend? Why am I not aware of that? Kid, what's your name?" The man grew angrier when he heard Yao Lan's answer. He shifted his focus to Jiang Bai, and when he spoke, he behaved as if he was speaking to an inferior person. From how he spoke, it was clear he did not think highly of Jiang Bai. In fact, he was even looking at Jiang Bai with contempt.
And the moment he spoke, five burly guys in black suits walked out a gray van. They ran over before standing behind the man, all glaring at Jiang Bai furiously. It seemed like they would all pounce on Jiang Bai with a single command from the man.
Initially, Jiang Bai was planning to tell them he did not know Yao Lan, but the tone in which the man spoke angered him. He was never one who would bow to force. And with his newly gained martial prowess, he became even more fearless. He was an Eight Extremes Fist Grandmaster. There was no need to fear these fellows.
"What are you trying to do? Wu Tian, I have never liked you. We don't even know each other that well. Why do you care if I have a boyfriend? Leave with your man! I don't want to see you!" But before Jiang Bai could erupt in anger, Yao Lan spoke out. It was obvious this sudden change had taken her by surprise as well. Instinctively, she pulled Jiang Bai and stood before him. She was clearly not willing to see something bad happening to Jiang Bai because of her.
"Yao Lan!" When Wu Tian heard her words, he yelled, fury on his handsome face. From how he was glaring at Jiang Bai, it was as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Bai whole. Nevertheless, he showed restrain and did not get his man to beat Jiang Bai up. He merely glared at Jiang Bai before turning to leave in anger.
"Yao Lan, in Tiandu, I, Wu Tian, am still an influential individual. I have many women, but over the years, you are the only woman to have ever captured my heart. I will never give up. Calm down and think about it. This kid is not suitable for you." Wu Tian said before leaving.
He did not say anything else to Jiang Bai, only glaring at Jiang Bai angrily before leaving. Jiang Bai was clear that this would not be the end of it. From how Wu Tian was behaving, Jiang Bai had the urge to make a move on him then and there. But after giving it a thought, he decided to not do anything. In any case, this was a public place, not exactly a suitable place to have a fight.
