I'm Jealous Of Myself Everyday (QT)

A Guide to Poverty Alleviation for Bar Waiters (Part 19)

　　"Your person?" Xue Guangyu's lips curled into a slight smirk. Having known Lan Ting for so many years, this expression clearly meant disapproval tinged with mockery.

　　Lan Ting's face darkened. "Xue Guangyu, you're really something. Don't you know you shouldn't mess with a friend's wife?"

　　"What nonsense are you spouting?" Wei Ye leaned against a pillar, his voice listless. "I don't belong to anyone, I belong only to myself."

　　Lan Ting, thinking he was unhappy with her, squatted down in front of him, her newly dyed black hair drooping over her forehead like a dull-colored dog. "But we clearly sealed our love with a kiss..."

　　"You kissed me and ran away, who knows what you mean by that?" Wei Ye said softly.

　　It was already past nine o'clock at night, the warehouse dimly lit. Lan Ting approached and noticed his strange state, surprised and worried. "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

　　"Sleepy," Wei Ye replied with just one word. Xue Guangyu answered for him, his voice deep. "Xue Yinghua gave him medicine."

　　Lan Ting cursed, a chilling murderous glint in his eyes. He gave Xue Guangyu a USB drive, saying, "Make this quick."

　　Outside the empty warehouse, Xue Yinghua's men had already been subdued by the men Lan Ting had brought. Xue Yinghua was pinned to the ground, and when he saw Xue Guangyu walk out with his hands in his pockets, he struggled to look up and curse him.
　　"Xue Guangyu, you're nothing but a bastard, I'm the rightful heir of the Xue family! If Dad hadn't had a stroke, would you dare treat me like this?"

　　"You only dared to attack me when he was unconscious. Besides..." Xue Guangyu said indifferently, "Don't you know how he had a stroke?"

　　Xue Yinghua froze.

　　At this moment, a group of people entered through the gate, all of them quite old. Some were dressed in suits, others in simple clothes, each accompanied by thugs; they were clearly not ordinary people.
　　They all showed surprise when they saw Xue Yinghua on the ground. Xue Guangyu went over and started talking to them.

　　Wei Ye, helped to a safe place by Lan Ting, gathered from their conversation that these people were elders of the Xue family, summoned by Xue Guangyu.

　　Xue Yinghua was the heir, but his abilities were inferior to Xue Guangyu's. Xue Guangyu had been managing some of the Xue family's important businesses.
　　This time, with the Xue family patriarch suddenly suffering a stroke and becoming paralyzed, at this crucial moment of power transition, Xue Yinghua seized the opportunity to grab Xue Guangyu, trying to blackmail him into transferring the territories he coveted.

　　An elder, a supporter of Xue Yinghua, awkwardly said, "Second Young Master, since you're alright, it's not right to keep him under pressure like this."

　　Xue Guangyu didn't say anything; he simply plugged the USB drive into the computer. The sounds of men and women joking and teasing rang out, one of them being Xue Yinghua, his voice loud enough to carry into the darkness where the lights couldn't reach.

　　A commotion erupted around them.

　　"Tch," Lan Ting scoffed, covering Wei Ye's ears. "Don't listen, it's disgusting."

　　Wei Ye: "..." But he wanted to hear it! He'd never witnessed such power struggles before!

　　Wei Ye was very curious and had 001 relay the story to him.

　　It turned out that Xue Yinghua's affair with his father's woman had been discovered, which had caused his father's stroke.
　　Xue Guangyu had deliberately been arrested to divert Xue Yinghua's attention and create an opportunity for Lan Ting to steal evidence.
