382: Chapter 371: Inspect the Goods First 382: Chapter 371: Inspect the Goods First After hearing Long Tiantian’s remarks, Song Yun’s mouth twitched a couple of times.
To be frank, his initial impression of her wasn’t far off from the rumors, but now that she had spoken these words, there were definitely secrets unknown to others.
But why couldn’t you just keep that secret to yourself instead of telling me, I’m not like those halfwits outside, forsaking my interests for a woman.
“My old man taught me for many years.
The most frequent thing he said was, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover, nor measure the ocean’s depths,'” Song Yun found himself feeling melancholic.
“We’re supposed to be discussing strategies here, why are you bringing up your body?”
“That’s enough to show he’s a sensible person,” Long Tiantian said with a tragic smile.
“As a woman in the underworld, reaching such a high position, others don’t look at a woman’s abilities but at her body.
Do you agree?”
“I agree,” Song Yun nodded and said, “After all, women are a vulnerable group in today’s society, not as quick to adapt as men.
Don’t glare at me.
If a man does business with a client, they can go to nightclubs and call for princesses.
Can a woman do that?
Clearly not.”
“Since they can’t match women in ability, the only method outsiders can think of is that the woman has exchanged her body for wealth.”
“That makes sense, but I’m not that kind of person.
My uncle was a powerful man, and my father once saved his life.
So, after my father died, he willingly shared his contacts with me.
Just that action gave others a certain impression of me.”
“Last year, my uncle died.
Since then, his family changed tactics and completely discarded me as their pawn, even cutting off those old contacts.
Even my uncle’s son has a very big opinion of me; he always thought I was a whore.”
“Since my uncle died, the first thing he said when he saw me was, ‘Become my woman, and I’ll ensure you live in wealth and splendor.’ Go to hell!
After struggling in the underworld for so many years, do you think I’d settle to be just a trophy to you?”
Watching Long Tiantian’s indignant look, Song Yun shrugged and said, “It seems our conversation has gone off track.
I don’t know why you’re sharing your experiences with me.
If you’re seeking my sympathy, you’re greatly mistaken.
My old man also said, ‘Nothing is more terrifying in this world than human nature.'”
“Haha, I just wanted someone to talk to.
I’ve been too tired over the years.
Without many loyal subordinates, what could I do with my territory to all of you?
I’ve made enough money over the years.
Why shouldn’t I just take that money and live abroad?” Long Tiantian said with a bitter smile.
“Yeah, indeed, you have the assets.
Just in Sunan City, you own seventy percent of the nightclubs; that’s a significant fortune.
You must have had quite a few people coveting you over the years,” Song Yun said, lighting up a cigarette.
“Who hasn’t?
Each one of them wants my body.
They love my money, not me,” Long Tiantian sighed.
“That’s why I had to do something crazy to the outside world, turning myself into a transsexual, because only then would I become someone even dogs would despise.”
“In order to not let my power be swallowed up by others so quickly, I didn’t hesitate to ruin my reputation, let outsiders see me as someone incompetent, thereby quietly making a fortune.”
“You were wrong, though,” Song Yun laughed.
“Your intentions were good, to protect your body and your wealth, but you veered off the path.
The more you tarnish your reputation, the more outsiders want a taste of you.
It’s a paradox that can’t be explained.”
“That’s right, so I could only look for a strong backer, someone who would give me peace of mind.
I’m not asking for great wealth or high status; I just want to be a simple woman.
I came to you today to seek an alliance.”
“Oh, you should have said that sooner, you’ve been making me feel quite uneasy,” Song Yun sighed, leaning forward significantly, with only a few centimeters between them.
He could clearly feel even the warmth of Long Tiantian’s breath.
“I’ve never felt secure since I was little, so I have to use my own methods to test the final result.”
Before Long Tiantian could react, Song Yun’s right hand pressed on her shoulder.
She looked slightly stunned, then frowned and whispered, “You can have my body but you must not break your promise.”
“Heh, let’s talk after I have tested you,” Song Yun applied a bit more pressure with his right hand, but made no further large movements.
Suddenly, Long Tiantian’s whole body began to convulse as if she was about to ascend to heaven, her body shaking continuously, her gaze growing more and more hazy, yet she bit her lower lip throughout, seemingly restraining herself from making any sounds.
A minute later, Song Yun slowly released his right hand, then sat back down, saying, “I didn’t mean to take advantage of you.
I pressed on your acupuncture point.
There are countless points on the human body, an old man once told me, there’s a particularly magical one on a woman’s left shoulder.”
“If she’s a virgin, pressing it won’t cause any reaction, but if she’s a woman of strong sexual desire, just a slight pressure will turn her into something very lascivious.
I just tried it a little today, and it really is so.”
These words struck Long Tiantian like a slap in the face.
You said you were a virgin, then why did I see such a change in you after just one press?
Using your own words to slap you back is the most effective retort.
“I really am a virgin, I just have my own needs, my needs…
with those women,” Long Tiantian said in a low voice.
“I don’t want to hear about your romantic history, nor your experiences with women.
I just want to know one thing—are you serious?” Song Yun asked seriously.
“I can’t stand anyone stabbing me in the back, or else I will get very angry, and when I’m angry, people die.”
“Don’t think I’m joking.
I only joke with friends.”
“I am serious.
You can take everything I have, but you need to leave me some assets.”
“Fine, I’ll leave you thirty percent of the nightclubs, but if your people don’t behave, don’t blame me for decisively cutting them out.”
