Chapter 10: Crossing Him Means a Dead End

"I don't massage feet!" Leng Xiyue decisively hung up the phone, worried Wang Li would call again, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.

The next day, Leng Xiyue got up early, ready to look for a job, but before she could leave, Jin Yu brought Wang Li over.

"Leng Xiyue, your friend is here to see you!"

"Friend?" Leng Xiyue tilted her head towards Wang Li, "May I ask, since when did we become friends?"

"Now, right now we are friends." Wang Li laughed, taking Leng Xiyue's hand with a pleading tone, "Leng Xiyue, please come back to work. Mr. Gong said you could choose any position at the gym, name your salary, and make any demands if you're willing to work."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu realized Wang Li was from the gym and immediately defended Leng Xiyue, "With that kind of behavior from your boss, you dare to ask her to work? Believe it or not, we could sue him for harassment?"

"Our boss has changed, it's not the same person anymore." Wang Li explained, "The previous boss was too lecherous, nobody liked him. Luckily, the new owner bought the gym, not only did he buy it, but he also increased our salaries, added benefits, and even offered paid leave. Everyone is eager to sign their work contracts; we all love the new boss."

"Really?" Jin Yu's face lit up with excitement, quickly persuading Leng Xiyue, "Since the new boss is so good, you should go back. Jobs are hard to come by, and the gym pays well. You still have six little ones to feed, they need meat all the time, you can't do without a high income."

Leng Xiyue wanted to stop Jin Yu from speaking, but Jin Yu spoke too quickly, and she couldn't interrupt in time.

"What six little ones?" Wang Li asked curiously, "Leng Xiyue, what pets have you kept? Can I see them?"

"Not pets, they're..."

"Jin sister!" Leng Xiyue quickly covered Jin Yu's mouth.

"They are pets, but they're protected animals, and I don't want others to see them." Leng Xiyue explained awkwardly.

"Protected animals? And they like meat?" Wang Li muttered to herself, her face suddenly changing, "Could it be snakes? You've raised six large snakes?"

Seeing Wang Li's fear of snakes, Leng Xiyue nodded, "Yes, six giant pythons. They especially love meat, so I had to hide and raise them. If you really want to see them, I can take you, since we're friends after all."

"No, no, I don't want to see them, I, I have other things to do," Wang Li said, stepping back, but then remembering her task was not yet complete, she added, "When will you return to work? Give me a definite answer so I can report back to Mr. Gong."

"What if I don't want to go?" Leng Xiyue asked tentatively.

"Then I'll lose my job, but losing my job is not the issue. The key point is Mr. Gong won't give up; he might even come to your house personally."

"What?" That can't happen.

If Gong Xinyi found his way here, the secret of her six children would be exposed.

Clearing her throat, Wang Li added, "Just a friendly warning, Gong Xinyi's power is beyond your imagination. There are few people in this world who dare to offend him lightly. If you insist on opposing him, the only outcome is a dead end!"

Leng Xiyue was well aware of Gong Xinyi's significant influence and had never intended to offend him; she was just worried about her children's secret being discovered by him.

After some thought, Leng Xiyue replied, "As long as I don't have to massage feet, I'll return to work tonight."

"Okay, no problem." Wang Li finally completed her mission, her face beaming with a sense of accomplishment.

After Wang Li left, Jin Yu asked softly, "Do you not want people to know about your children?"

"Uh..." Leng Xiyue didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Are you worried that having children will make it harder to find a partner?" Jin Yu asked again.
