Chapter 25: Where Are the Six Pythons

Chapter 25: Where Are the Six Pythons

Gong Xinyi was curious about the size of the pythons Leng Xiyue was keeping. If they were adult pythons, the appetite of one could match that of several adults, let alone six.

He couldn't understand Leng Xiyue. It was hard enough for her to fend for herself, so why keep six large pythons?

Given animals' rapid reproduction rates, it wouldn't be long before big snakes birthed little snakes, turning Leng Xiyue's home into a snake den.

No, he must rescue this woman from her misery!

With that thought, Gong Xinyi stood up, narrowing his hawk-like eyes, "If it's just you, why work two jobs? Leng Xiyue, starting today, you'll work full-time at the Water Flower Fitness Club. I'll pay you double, with social insurance and housing fund contributions, meals and accommodation included. You'll live in the fitness club. How does that sound?"

"How much is double?" Leng Xiyue raised her eyebrows, genuinely puzzled.

If calculated for a cleaner, her current pay was 250 a day, so double would be 500. But if calculated as a masseuse, her rate was a million per session, so double would be two million?

"Whatever you say," Gong Xinyi reseated himself on the bed, elegantly crossing his long legs, speaking calmly, "If you want to sweep floors, it's 500 a day. If you want to massage my feet, it's two million a day."

Two million!

It sounded great, but what about the six adorable little ones if she left?

Besides, Gong Xinyi was too unreliable. Salaries could rise or fall on his whim. Who knew if he'd cut her salary the day after raising it?

With this thought, Leng Xiyue promptly refused, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Gong, but I'll stick to my two jobs. I'm accustomed to my current life."

"You're not accustomed to your current life; you just can't part with the six large pythons!" Gong Xinyi stood up, his expression stern, "Where are the six pythons? Take me to see them!"

"Six pythons?" Leng Xiyue was instantly dumbfounded.

With an apologetic face, Wang Li said, "I'm sorry, Xiyue, I told Mr. Gong about you keeping pythons. He is my boss, after all; I couldn't keep secrets from him..."

"You... you're a traitor!" Leng Xiyue angrily pointed at Wang Li.

Fortunately, Wang Li hadn't seen the six adorable little ones that day, otherwise, Gong Xinyi would have known about her giving birth to six daughters.

"I'm really sorry, Xiyue... I apologize," Wang Li kept saying.

"Sorry, I don't accept apologies." Leng Xiyue, with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the door, said, "Shouldn't this home visit be over? Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

"Leng Xiyue!" Gong Xinyi lowered his eyelids, his voice extremely cold, "You're kicking me out?"

Leng Xiyue moved her mouth but didn't dare utter a word.

She almost forgot, he had just helped her settle the matter with Lin Xue. To kick him out without even offering a drink, wasn't that too inhumane?

"Uh, Mr. Gong, I, I, I was just..."

"Just what? You don't want me to see the six large pythons?" Gong Xinyi stepped forward, his handsome face closing in on Leng Xiyue.

"I... actually, there are no snakes in my house, it was just to scare Wang Li. If you don't believe me... you can search for yourself."

To prove her point, Leng Xiyue generously allowed Gong Xinyi to inspect the entire motel.

"Alright, you said it!" Gong Xinyi strode through, checking every room in the motel.

Wang Li followed Gong Xinyi closely, her gaze nervous, dreading the sudden appearance of a large python.

After inspecting every room in the motel and finding nothing, Gong Xinyi's cold gaze turned to Wang Li, "Where are the snakes?"

"I... I don't know." Wang Li shook her head, looking aggrieved.

Not knowing? A hint of amusement crossed Gong Xinyi's lips, it seems Leng Xiyue didn't have snakes after all, and Wang Li had been fooled by her.

"Leng Xiyue!" Gong Xinyi cleared his throat, "Since you don't have snakes, then you have nothing to worry about. Pack your things now and come with me to Water Flower!"
