Power and Wealth

Night.

10 pm.

Florida Suburban.

The BMW was traveling on the highway at high speed. Dong Xuebing was scared. He did not reach this speed even when he was speeding. Of course, Beijing and China’s highways do not allow him to drive so fast. There are too many cars, and this area is secluded. He turned and looked at Zhong Longjuan. He could tell this was the way she drove from her relaxed expression.

“What is it, Xiao Dong?” Zhong Longjuan asked.

“Ah?” The wind was blowing, and Dong Xuebing could not hear her. “What did you say?”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I am asking if you are scared. I can slow down if you want.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I think you should slow down. I don’t want to be in an accident.” He is not scared because he knows he will not die even if they have an accident. But it will be painful, and he does not want to waste his precious time.

Zhong Longjuan laughed. “Alright. I will listen to you, handsome.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Sis Zhang, please stop calling me that.”

Zhong Longjuan laughed. “I say you are handsome, and you are handsome. Why are you blushing?”

“Err…. No. I am not used to it.” Dong Xuebing knows he got average looks.

The car slowed down along the highway.

Zhang Longjuan took out her cigarettes and took one out. She turned to Dong Xuebing. “I forgot to ask. Do you smoke, Xiao Dong?”

“I brought my own.” Dong Xuebing took out a packet of Zhonghua.

“Oh, it’s hard to get this brand here. Give me one. It’s been a while since I smoked Zhonghua.” Zhang Longjuan took a cigarette from Dong Xuebing’s pack and lit it. She passed the cigarette she lit before to him. “Don’t waste it. Try my cigarette.”

Huh? You had smoked it, and your saliva is on it.

China’s culture is not so open, and Dong Xuebing could not get used to Zhang Longjuan’s character. They had only met an hour ago and were sharing a cigarette. He took her cigarette awkwardly and placed it between his lips. He did not know what brand it was, but it was intense. However, his focus was not on the smoke. He could feel the dampness on the cigarette butt.

Zhang Longjuan glanced at him. “How is it?”

“Not bad.” Dong Xuebing smiled.

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I will give you a few cartons when you are leaving. You can help me pass some to Old Xu. Oh, she quit smoking.”

Dong Xuebing was surprised. “Sister Xu smokes?!”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “She…. I taught her to smoke, and she smoked for a few months. She smoked more than me during our school days. But she was not addicted. Hahaha…. She did not tell you this?! Cannot be. She should not hide anything from you based on your relationship with her.”

Dong Xuebing blushed again. “Sister Xu is my former leader. Err…. Why should she tell me about these?”

“You don’t need to explain.”

“Huh? I am not explaining.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I know, Old Xu and you have something going on. I have known her for many years, and I know her well. Her ex-husband and son came, and she did not call me to look after them. But she contacted me when you were coming and instructed me to take good care of you. I will be blind if I cannot see what’s happening.”

Dong Xuebing denied it. “No….”

Dong Xuebing does not have a good reputation but does not want to tarnish Xu Yan’s reputation. Although it’s true, he will never admit it.

“Alright.” Zhang Longjuan took a deep puff. “You can deny all you want. I know what’s going on. Haha…. Old Xu’s taste is not bad.” She looked at Dong Xuebing’s face again. “Will Old Xu fall out with me if I snatch you from her?”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I am kidding.”

Dong Xuebing felt helpless in front of Zhang Longjuan. She dares to say anything.

Fifteen minutes later, the car entered a small estate.

The houses here were huge and beautiful. Dong Xuebing can confirm Zhang Longjuan’s family is running a successful business here. He can afford this car but can only afford one mansion here with all his assets. He knew she was wealthier than him. Sigh…. His colleagues envied him for being wealthy, but they did not know there were people wealthier than him.

“We are here.” Zhong Longjuan stopped the car in front of a mansion.

“Who else is staying here?” Dong Xuebing asked.

Zhang Longjuan released her seatbelt. “Haha…. I am staying alone.”

“Huh? What about helpers?” Dong Xuebing got out of the car with Zhang Longjuan.

“I don’t have any helpers. I prefer to be alone. That’s why I remained single until now. My relatives live in the East, and I handle the business here. This is our family business, but it is under my name now. I cannot be bothered with my relatives and have split with them. I am the major shareholder of this company, and I make the decisions. I like to be free from restraints and do whatever I want. Haha….” Zhang Longjuan laughed.

Dong Xuebing replied. “I envy you.”

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “Are you envying my body?”

Huh? What body are you talking about?

Dong Xuebing felt Sis Zhang teased him since they met.

“Come in.” Zhang Longjuan entered the pin and brought Dong Xuebing into her mansion.

It was messy. Alcohol bottles and cigarette boxes were everywhere.

Zhang Longjuan laughed. “I had planned to bring you to a hotel after Old Xu called. That’s why I did not clean up. But I worry about letting you stay at the hotel alone after seeing you are so young. Anyway, I got plenty of rooms here. Just pick one.”

“Sorry to bother you.”

“Let’s go and pick a room.”

They went upstairs to the third floor.

Dong Xuebing picked a room on the third floor. “This room will do.”

Zhang Longjuan giggled. “Ok. My room is next to you. We will be sleeping near to each other.”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. She was making her uncomfortable.

“Go wash up first. You must be tired after a long flight.” Zhang Longjuan looked at him. “I am going to take a shower too. I will prepare supper for you later.”

“No…. I don’t want to trouble you.”

“I am also hungry. Just go.”

Zhang Longjuan turned and entered her room.

Dong Xuebing entered his room and started to unpack his luggage.

He tied the bed and stripped to take a shower.

Dong Xuebing stretched lazily after a hot shower. The hot shower had washed away his fatigue, and he felt good. However, the decoration and furniture of the room are European styles, and he is not used to it.

The door opened suddenly.

Zhang Longjuan entered the room without knocking. “Supper is ready. Let’s go.”

Zhang Longjuan’s hair is still wet, and Dong Xuebing’s eyes almost popped out when he saw her. He was not looking at her hair. He was looking at her sexy body. She had covered her body with a towel, exposing her legs. He could see her underwear if he bent down slightly. Of course, she might not be wearing anything underneath her towel.

This is too….

Why is she so open?

Dong Xuebing’s eyes were darting around. “…….”

“Let’s go. What are you looking at?” Zhang Longjuan laughed and brushed her hair.

Dong Xuebing was still in his bathrobe. “Err…. I need to get change.”

“What do you need to change? Hurry up, or the steak will be cold.” Zhang Longjuan turned and walked downstairs, showing her perky butt.

Dong Xuebing looked at her butt and followed.
