“What you mean is, you want to help your parents, but you’re worried they’ll find out you have a lot of money or find out you can get a lot of money from Tang Song, thus becoming dependent on you and causing trouble for Tang Song later?”
“Yes, yes, yes, you summed it up perfectly.” Zhao Yaqian nodded vigorously, “It’s not just my parents, but also those relatives. Ting told me, there are many fools among them, and unfortunately, we owe them favors. I’m afraid they would run to Yan City, which would definitely be troublesome for Brother Song.”
After selling their house in the county town, her family had moved to the old house in the village.
Many relatives were also from the village,, some of them with questionable morals and particularly impulsive behavior.
If news of her sudden wealth were to spread there, she would definitely face endless troubles in the future.
Some people might be jealous of her fortune and set traps for her parents, eventually making her pay up.
These were all things that Liting had warned her about; indeed, there were many such people around them, who specifically targeted households affected by demolitions or sudden wealth, with plenty of schemes to make you cough up the money.
Although Zhao Yaqian was not particularly clever, she was very good at taking advice.
“Muxue, you’re a financial expert, could you think of a solution for me?”
Lin Muxue licked her lips, seriously replied, “It’s simple, just remove you and Tang Song from the equation.”
“What do you mean?” Zhao Yaqian blinked her big eyes.
“You can pass my WeChat to your mom and say I work at a major financial firm in Yan City, that we are close friends, and I’m quite wealthy.” Lin Muxue rubbed her head, smiling, “Out of consideration for you, I’d lend your mum 100,000 yuan interest-free to start a restaurant, creating a lending relationship between her and me.”
“Ah! Yes, yes, that sounds great. I’ll transfer the money to you first.” Zhao Yaqian’s eyes lit up.
Lin Muxue waved her hands, “No need, Qianqian, I’ll cover it. Later, when your parents make money, they can pay me back. This way, if something happens in the future, you can push it onto me without causing conflict between you and your parents.”
Hearing this, Zhao Yaqian was moved to tears and hugged her tightly, “Muxue, you’re so good to me!”
Lin Muxue, looking at the genuinely emotional beautician, felt a bit guilty.
Internally, she made a vow, “Qianqian, a person like Tang Song surely has many vixens around him. I’ll protect you well in the future and won’t let them bully you.”
…
Half an hour later.
“Done! The money has been transferred to your mom’s bank account, and the electronic IOU has been signed.”
Zhao Yaqian sighed with relief, “Thank you, Muxue. If you ever need money, just ask me. I really owe you one today.”
Lin Muxue paused, then said quietly, “Qianqian, I’ve actually run into a bit of trouble recently and was hoping you could help.”
Zhao Yaqian was startled, immediately replied, “What is it? Just tell me!”
…
The sky was growing darker, and sparse starlight dotted the night sky.
Bentley Continental lights came on, sweeping over the street as it drove into the underground parking of YJHT.
Parked at its designated spot under building no. 6.
Tang Song, carrying a bag, exited the car and took the elevator directly to the 6th floor.
Since he knew Liting was still working overtime at the company, he didn’t hesitate as much and directly keyed in the code to unlock the door.
Just as he stepped into the foyer, he saw a familiar figure standing in the direction of the living room, looking this way.
Muxue?
“Good evening, Tang Song,” Lin Muxue said, hands hanging by her sides, her gaze fixed on him.
Dressed in a white blouse and high-waisted pencil skirt, she looked very intellectual and elegant, giving off a strong office lady vibe.
Tang Song slipped into his house slippers, nodded slightly, “Good evening, Muxue.”
Immediately after, rapid footsteps echoed.
Zhao Yaqian, who had just placed a plate of fruit on the coffee table, cheered and darted towards him, “Brother Song, you’re here! I just bought these strawberries today, they’re so sweet. Come and try some.”
Zhao Yaqian, wearing an oversize T-shirt that completely covered her buttocks and shorts, exposing only a pair of irresistibly long, fair, and attractive legs.
Tang Song embraced her soft waist and squeezed her perky behind, feeling a surge of desire.
The two sat down on the living room’s fabric sofa.
Zhao Yaqian picked a wet strawberry and held it to his lips.
His teeth came together, and the sweet, chilly juice burst in his mouth, filling it with a refreshing fruity fragrance.
Tang Song’s eyes brightened, he said, “It’s really delicious.”
She fed him five or six strawberries in a row.
“Squeak—” A familiar scent of perfume wafted over, and on the sofa to his left, Lin Muxue, hand on her hip-hugging skirt, carefully sat down.
Her legs, clad in flesh-colored stockings, shone under the light.
Caught between them, Tang Song raised his eyebrows, acutely aware of their subtle intentions.
Especially Qianqian, who could hardly hide anything on her face.
“Is there something you need?”
Zhao Yaqian rested her head on Tang Song’s shoulder, whispered, “Brother Song, it’s Muxue who’s run into some trouble and needs your help.”
“Um…” Faced with Tang Song, Lin Muxue was visibly more nervous, her hands tightly clasped as she began to explain.
Recently, a few classmates were coming to Yan City to see Su Yu’s concert and would stay for a few days.
The classmates who were in Yan City planned to get together.
One of the classmates was a Douyin celebrity who was doing a “Classmate Mystery Box” video series, planning to interview her about her recent circumstances.
Previously, Lin Muxue had been harassed by several male classmates, including Li Da who worked in Yan City.
So she had always lied about having a deeply loved boyfriend, and further claimed that they lived together.
To avoid some unnecessary trouble, she wanted Tang Song to impersonate her boyfriend.
Considering Tang Song was busy with work and it wasn’t convenient for him to come to her place, she could pretend to live at his place temporarily and place some personal belongings and clothes there.
When the classmates came to interview her, it would suffice to host them at YJTC briefly.
They wouldn’t stay for long, nor would she allow them to stay the night.
It was just to let her classmates know she had such a boyfriend; it didn’t matter if he didn’t show up personally.
…
Listening to her explanation, Tang Song gazed intensely at this “fake socialite.”
He wasn’t as naive as Qianqian and knew Lin Muxue very well.
From her words, he noticed many loopholes and vaguely guessed her true intentions.
Just then, the crisp sound of the system notification chimed.
“Ding! You have triggered the branch task ‘Observation and Control.’ Please go to the Task Center to check it.”
[Task content: The former ‘Dungeon Test Subject,’ Lin Muxue, is facing a significant challenge for her, which will have a certain impact on her way of thinking and concepts. Attempt to observe and control her changing process, which will help you better refine your cognition.]

“Tang Song, I can assure you I won’t disrupt your normal life, nor will I cause you any trouble,”
Lin Muxue looked at him with her sparkling eyes, trying her best to appear sincere.
She was really stuck between a rock and a hard place. The mood was set, and she had to meet these high school classmates no matter what.
To navigate this predicament smoothly, she could only rely on Tang Song now.
Her rental contract for the apartment had already expired, and the landlord had urged her several times to move out, mentioning that his son would soon marry and needed to set up a bridal suite.
She had just managed to calm him temporarily, but the place was indeed not suitable as a reception venue.
Moreover, she did not have that many luxury items for show.
But Tang Song’s place was different; the furniture, appliances, clothes, and accessories were all frighteningly expensive.
Just by bringing them into the house for a tour, without saying anything, she was sure their legs and mouths would go weak, utterly overwhelmed.
There was also the matter of her job; the office conditions and staff quality at Gathering Emotion Gold were undoubtedly of the highest-tier financial firm.
If she could get a job there as an assistant through Tang Song’s connection, that would really impress her high school classmates.
But she wasn’t sure how to broach the subject, so she decided to sort the house matter first.
Just as she was nervously contemplating,
Tang Song, who sat on her right, suddenly turned towards her and smiled, saying, “I can help you with this.”
“Ah!” Lin Muxue exclaimed, covering her mouth as her heart began to race, her voice trembling with excitement, “Thank you.”
“However…” Tang Song extended a finger and held it before her, “I have a matter concerning Qianqian that I’d like your help with.”
“Tell me, I’ll definitely do it well,” Lin Muxue immediately sat upright.
Tang Song did not immediately respond to her, instead turning to Zhao Yaqian and saying, “Yaqian, you’ve decorated this apartment beautifully; I’m very satisfied. Next, as I promised earlier, it’s time to help you develop your career.
Consider carefully the future business field, products, or services you want to pursue, conduct appropriate market research, and establish some contacts in this industry.”
Upon hearing Tang Song suddenly assigning her a new task, Zhao Yaqian quickly nodded.
Then, somewhat embarrassed, she said, “Brother Song, I’m not very familiar with these things, and I’m afraid I might forget. Could you send me the details on WeChat?”
“No worries, let’s take it slow,” Tang Song rubbed her creamy, plump thigh. He turned to Lin Muxue and said, “Muxue, the task I mentioned is to help Yaqian complete these tasks.”
Lin Muxue pursed her lips and quickly responded, “No problem, I will handle it well.”
Tang Song nodded slightly, his gaze deep as he looked at her and said, “Of course, this will take a significant amount of time and energy.
As far as I know, you are currently working an administrative position at Rongxin Venture Capital, and the pay isn’t high.
If you’re interested, I can arrange for you to join Gathering Emotion Gold, where the salary and benefits will improve.
“I have set up a special fund at Gathering Emotion Gold to help Yaqian develop her career, and it requires a liaison with a good relationship with her.”
Upon hearing his words, Lin Muxue’s eyes widened, and her chest heaved with emotion.
Biting her lip hard, the clear pain reassured her that she wasn’t dreaming.
