Chapter 174: After the Wealthy Lady Went Bankrupt 17

Mo Qiuyang spoke with obsession. “How beautiful they are. They’ve endured such vast stretches of time, witnessing the shifting eras of that land, the love and hatred, and even the fall of nations. They all leave traces, more or less. It’s like having a conversation with the ancients. I love this feeling.”

Ren Xin characterized this feeling as being mentally ill.

She shuffled further away from him.

An hour later, everyone was still staring at the items in their hands.

Four hours later, everyone remained obsessed.

Six hours later, Ren Xin felt like this was never going to end.

“I’m leaving. You guys do whatever reporting or organizing you need to do, and those who owe me money, hurry up and pay…”

Ren Xin felt she had been obvious enough. Surely Mo Qiuyang wouldn’t forget now.

Finally out of the site, Ren Xin received a notification that the funds had arrived. Because the amount was so large, a bank employee even called to ask if she was aware of the source of these funds.

Ren Xin answered loudly and happily, “I know! I earned it through my own hard work and ability!”

The employee was speechless. Fine, I get it, but why are you shouting? Just to show off how rich you are?

“Understood, distinguished customer. Do you have any need for wealth management services?”

Ren Xin refused and hung up the phone.

Everyone else needed to rest where they were. Until the superiors arrived, no one was allowed to leave.

Mo Qiuyang’s subordinates were all very capable. They quickly and efficiently pitched the tents. The man who had been rendered impotent earlier approached Ren Xin, acting extremely attentive.

“Master Ren, look… can you cure my condition?”

Only then did Ren Xin remember the “sin” she had committed earlier by wounding a man’s pride. She rummaged through her pocket and handed him a small porcelain bottle. “The medicine in here can cure your illness. It’s best if you go for a check-up first, then take the medicine, and then go for a follow-up. You can act as an advertisement for me. I won’t charge you for this one. From now on, you are the brand ambassador for my ‘Invincible Spear Pill’.”

The man was at a loss for words. Maybe it’s better if you just take my money!

Ren Xin didn’t care what he thought. She was packing up to get some sleep when Mo Qiuyang stopped her. “Could we take a walk together?”

Ren Xin wasn’t particularly willing, but then she remembered the man in front of her was very wealthy. In that case, a walk was fine.

The two strolled through the eerie, rustling woods. Mo Qiuyang showed no sign of wanting to speak.

Ren Xin couldn’t help but ask, “Are you planning to confess your love just to trick me into giving the money back? Or are you planning to kill me and silence the witness here so you can take the money back?”

Mo Qiuyang replied nonchalantly, “That little bit of money isn’t worth the effort.”

Sometimes, Ren Xin really hated people who put on such airs. Even though she was so rich now, wasn’t she still staying grounded and working hard at her swindling? Look at how much effort she put in!

“So, what exactly do you want?”

Mo Qiuyang was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “I want to hire you as my private bodyguard.”

Ren Xin was confused. “Huh?”

He explained, “You have some hidden talents that pique my curiosity. I just want to figure things out. You can think of it as my life being too dull. Nothing worries me on a daily basis, and my interest in antiques is just a passing phase. I’m searching for the meaning of my life, and I have a feeling I can find the answer through you. What do you think?”

“I think it’s weird. You’re making it sound like a marriage proposal.”

Mo Qiuyang continued to press his case. “You can name your own salary. You’ll have full access to my connections, and I’ll clean up any messes you leave behind. Furthermore, I won’t question any of your actions…”

Ren Xin immediately reached out her hand and said happily, “Deal! Let’s get along well from now on!”
