Chapter 9 : Be Careful of the Rich Woman Eating You

• On the way, Gu Xiaonan drove silently, not saying a word. Ye Ming felt bored and thought about the trouble with those hooligans today.
• His eyes mutated, which was a good thing, but he realized a problem - his body's strength no longer matched his eyes.
• Although he loved sports, he was far from the image he had in his mind. It seemed that if he didn't want to be bullied, he would have to practice more in the future.
• After returning to the Gu family, Gu Xiaonan tidied up the house and decided to leave Gujia Village and return to the city with Li Ping.
• Ninghai City was not far away, only about a two-hour drive. Gu Xiaonan remained silent, and Ye Ming felt uninterested, so he closed his eyes and a book appeared in his mind.
• "'Split Heaven Fist'?" He was slightly stunned, not understanding why this came to his mind.
• Since that night, his mind had gained many memories, and some of them were slowly emerging from the depths of his mind. This "Split Heaven Fist" suddenly appeared in his mind.
• According to the techniques in the "Split Heaven Fist," it could strengthen the body. Ye Ming became interested and thought about practicing it in the city.
• Ninghai City was the capital of Chuandong Province and could be considered a second-tier city.
• Upon returning to the city, Gu Xiaonan didn't go home immediately but took Li Ping to a nursing home.
• Ye Ming waited in the car, and in less than an hour, they settled Li Ping.
• Gu Xiaonan continued driving home, and Ye Ming, puzzled, asked, "Why did you arrange Auntie in a nursing home? Isn't it better for her to stay with you?"
• Gu Xiaonan replied calmly, "I'm too busy with work and don't have time to take care of her. Let her stay in the nursing home for now."
• Although Ye Ming understood that Li Ping was staying in a high-end nursing home that cost tens of thousands of yuan per month, he still felt that it might be better to stay with family.
• Of course, everyone has their own difficulties, so he didn't say much.
• Gu Xiaonan brought Ye Ming to an upscale residential area. The entrance of the community was grand, and the security guards bowed deeply when they entered.
• Ye Ming couldn't help but marvel at Gu Xiaonan's wealth. She could be considered a true "rich and beautiful" woman.
• As they walked into the community, Ye Ming looked around and saw a wealthy woman approaching. She was in her thirties, well-maintained, fair-skinned, and holding a small dog in her hand.
• When the wealthy woman saw Gu Xiaonan, she smiled and greeted her, "Xiaonan, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your work must be busy."
• Gu Xiaonan smiled and replied, "Qi Jie, I went back to my hometown for a while."
• "Oh." The wealthy woman suddenly shifted her gaze to Ye Ming, her eyes brightening.
• "Who is this?"
• "This is my distant cousin who is planning to work in the city. My family asked me to take care of him." Gu Xiaonan casually explained.
• The woman named Qi Jie nodded, but her mouth carried a hint of a meaningful smile.
• Ye Ming felt a chill down his spine as he noticed her staring at him intently.
• "Xiaonan, my treat. Let's go out for dinner tonight. There's a high-end steak restaurant near the community that I've been wanting to try. Oh, and bring your cousin along," Qi Jie suggested, winking.
• Gu Xiaonan awkwardly smiled, "Qi Jie, maybe next time. I have work to do tonight. I've been delayed by my recent trip back to my hometown."
• After saying that, she grabbed Ye Ming's arm and walked away.
• "Alright then, next time. Remember to bring your cousin," Qi Jie said, watching the two hurriedly leave, smiling to herself before continuing her dog walk.
• Ye Ming, confused by Gu Xiaonan's quick pace, asked, "Why are we walking so fast?"
• "Didn't you see that woman trying to eat you?" Gu Xiaonan said coldly.
• "Eat me?"
• Ye Ming was puzzled and didn't understand.
• "That woman is called Su Qi. Her husband died five years ago, leaving her billions of inheritance. She hasn't remarried since. Didn't you see the way she looked at you just now? It's obvious she's interested in you," Gu Xiaonan said indifferently.
• "Oh? Interested in me?"
• Ye Ming smiled and leaned closer.
• "Are you jealous?"
• "Don't talk nonsense. That kind of woman is better off not getting involved with. I brought you to Ninghai City to ensure your safety. Do you really think it's easy to deal with a rich woman?" Gu Xiaonan sneered.
• "Never mind, I won't waste my breath on you. I've already said what I needed to say. If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself."
• With that, she entered the elevator, and Ye Ming quickly followed.
• "Is she really that scary?" Ye Ming scratched his head.
• They arrived at the fifteenth floor, and Gu Xiaonan brought Ye Ming to her own apartment.
• When the door opened, Ye Ming was naturally surprised by the scene inside.
• The nearly 180-square-meter apartment was exquisitely decorated. He had only seen such a luxurious house on TV.
• According to the current housing prices in Ninghai, this house would cost at least five million yuan.
• "There are four rooms. The master bedroom is mine, and you can choose one of the other three. Also, remember what I said before. I will give you the money I promised, but don't cause any trouble for me, understood?" Gu Xiaonan said sternly.
• Ye Ming nodded and didn't say much. He took his backpack and went to choose a room.
• Not long after, the doorbell rang. Gu Xiaonan wondered who could be visiting so soon after they returned home. She opened the door and found that it was Su Qi, the wealthy woman.
• "Xiaonan, after thinking it over, I've decided to treat you to dinner. After all, you've helped me so much in the past. You're busy, right? What do you want to eat? I can make it for you. Oh, by the way, what does your cousin like to eat? I can make it too," Su Qi said with a smile.
• Gu Xiaonan awkwardly smiled, "Qi Jie, thank you for your kind offer, but we've already eaten. We really don't need it. Maybe next time."
• "Oh, you've already eaten? What should I do now?" Su Qi frowned slightly.
• "Qi Jie, it's getting late. You should rest early. Goodbye." Gu Xiaonan quickly closed the door and let out a sigh of relief.
• Ye Ming saw this from a distance and realized how troublesome that wealthy woman was.
• "Now you understand what I said earlier, right?" Gu Xiaonan crossed her arms and shook her head before returning to her room.
