Chapter Eighteen: She Is Mine

Zeng Lili cautiously asked, “Ten thousand yuan? It’s really just to be a driver, no other services required, right?”
Xu Yi replied helplessly, “That’s right. If you don’t believe me, we can sign a contract, and I can pay you in advance.”
Zeng Lili’s eyes lit up as she quickly said, “No problem!”
To Xu Yi’s surprise, she actually pulled out a pen and a contract from her bag.
Xu Yi was stunned. Who normally carries a contract in their bag?
But ten thousand yuan was nothing to him—it was like a hundred yuan.
He readily signed the contract she handed him and paid the ten thousand yuan. Zeng Lili was very pleased.
“So, Boss Xu, where do you want to go next?”
Zeng Lili smiled brightly, hands on the steering wheel, looking at Xu Yi with a playful and adorable expression.
...
Donghai City lies near the East Sea and is divided into five districts:
Gulou, Jing’an, Shanghang, Dongxing, and Jiangtai.
Jiangtai District is named after the Dongjiang River that flows into the East Sea. Many luxury mansions are built along the southern bank of the Dongjiang due to its proximity to the river.
One of the wealthy Huo family estates that Xu Yi wanted Zeng Lili to drive to was located here.
Zeng Lili drove the big G, but from time to time, she glanced over at her new boss in the passenger seat.
Xu Yi was dozing lightly but recalled the information Huang Dabao had handed him about the Huo family.
The head of the Huo family, Huo Shanyue, 56 years old, widowed early, had no sons, only two daughters.
The eldest daughter, Huo Siqian, 26, graduated from a top international business school, currently an executive director at Huo Group. She was strong-willed, decisive in business—typical heiress material.
The younger daughter, Huo Sining, 14, in second year of middle school. School details, personality, talents, and hobbies were all confidential.
This was the scant information Huang Dabao had gathered about the Huo family.
It was pitifully little, almost no secrets, especially nothing useful about Huo Sining, whom Xu Yi cared about most.
The only useful detail was that the three Huo family members currently lived in the Jiangtai District mansion.
This was why Xu Yi had no choice but to come personally to investigate.
...
Soon, the two arrived at the mansion address given by Huang Dabao, driving the big G.
But upon arrival, Xu Yi realized how little he knew about the lives of the wealthy. He had imagined a rich person’s home as just a villa, maybe a large, beautiful one.
But what lay before him was, damn it, an entire estate!
The Huo family mansion was an estate covering thousands of square meters!
Standing before the grand gates, it felt like facing a magnificent palace. The gate itself was four or five meters high and wide enough for several tanks to pass side by side!

Standing back a little, Xu Yi could look past the gates into the sprawling estate.
The grounds were vast and endless, with the main mansion only a tiny fraction of it. The estate’s scale was staggering.
He even spotted lawns, woods, and faintly, some wild animals roaming.
Damn! Capitalists!
Xu Yi cursed inwardly. Just moments ago, he had considered himself wealthy with five million yuan, but now he realized he knew nothing about true wealth.
Despite its size, the estate’s security system was formidable.
When the big G was still fifty meters from the gates, guards approached and asked questions.
Their final words were, “Private property. No appointment, please leave immediately!”
They promptly told Xu Yi to scram.
This dashed Xu Yi’s plans to sneak into the estate.
He felt a little defeated.
The Huo family was like a colossal fortress blocking his way. Trying to find Huo Sining or inquire about the kidnapping case seemed impossible for now.
For a moment, Xu Yi felt all his paths were blocked, and he grew frustrated.
“Let’s go back,” he said disinterestedly, telling Zeng Lili to drive off.
He didn’t notice that Zeng Lili had been tense the entire time at the mansion gates. Only after hearing Xu Yi leave did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and sped up on the way back.
“Boss! Where to next?” Zeng Lili asked happily once they were out of the mansion’s vicinity.
Xu Yi replied flatly, “Forget it. Let’s go back to the dealership. Your work is done.”
Zeng Lili shook her head, “That won’t do! The contract says I have to accompany you for eight hours. We’ve only passed three. Otherwise, I have to compensate you.”
Xu Yi was surprised. “That’s in the contract too?”
Zeng Lili pulled it out and showed him the clause. It was indeed there.
Xu Yi was speechless—this girl was too honest.
“So, where shall we go next?” she asked again.
Xu Yi thought seriously. Since the Huo family lead was dead, and the Donghai gang needed more time for Huang Dabao, he might as well use this chance to improve himself.
There were two ways: either make money to boost his soft power or obtain an antique like Zeng Lili’s to enhance his spiritual strength…
Just then, Zeng Lili glanced at Xu Yi and suddenly said, “Boss! Actually, if you took a little care of yourself, you’d look really handsome. How about I take you to get a new outfit?”
Xu Yi was taken aback, looked down at his clothes, and agreed.
With Xu Yi’s approval, Zeng Lili immediately became energetic.

They found a nearby mall and started shopping.
Xu Yi noticed Zeng Lili had excellent taste; the clothes she picked were just right. He entrusted his entire makeover to her.
They strolled from store to store like a couple.
Even many shop assistants treated them as a couple, and Xu Yi felt the distance between them shrink considerably.
Four hours flew by.
“Xu Yi! Thank you, I really had fun today! It’s been so long since I enjoyed shopping this much.”
Zeng Lili smiled at Xu Yi and stretched lazily.
Her perfect curves were on full display, the sensual movement combined with her near-perfect figure made Xu Yi’s breath deepen.
As a man, faced with such a beauty, perhaps they could take things further.
Just as Xu Yi was about to invite Zeng Lili to dinner, a hostile voice came from nearby.
“Lili! What are you doing here? Who’s this guy?”
Xu Yi turned to see a young man dressed in hip-hop style swaggering toward them, followed by seven or eight men and women bobbing their heads.
Xu Yi frowned and saw Zeng Lili looking flustered.
The young man looked at Xu Yi with venom and cursed, “Fuck! Who the hell are you? She’s my woman, and you dare touch her? You’re asking for trouble!”
He raised his hand to strike Xu Yi.
“Stop!” Zeng Lili quickly put her hand in front of Xu Yi and shouted, “Mr. Zhao, please show some respect. You’re just a client of our car dealership. I’m not your woman.”
Mr. Zhao was stunned, pointing at Xu Yi, “Then who is this guy?”
Zeng Lili hesitated, “He’s also my client.”
Hearing this, Mr. Zhao immediately flew into a rage, “You damn bitch, he’s your client so you go out and play with him? Sleep with him too? I’m also a client—I spent so much money in your shop—and you pretend to be busy when I ask you out? Fuck! You whore!”
Suddenly, Mr. Zhao went berserk and swung his arm at Zeng Lili’s face.
Zeng Lili froze in place, terrified, and shut her eyes, trembling all over.
“Smack!”
Instead of the expected slap, Mr. Zhao himself was suddenly knocked to the ground with a sharp smack.
Xu Yi stepped forward, voice icy cold: “Mr. Zhao? I don’t care whose son you are. Watch your mouth. I hate men who hit women. Besides, she’s my woman. Keep talking nonsense and I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
“Get lost!”
Xu Yi radiated killing intent, and Mr. Zhao was stunned and frightened stiff.
