Chapter 83
Thinking of this, Lei Bao suddenly remembered the Lei family in Four-nine City, which was battered by the storm. The male members of this family were dwindling, and its remaining prestige relied solely on the old master’s reputation, bolstered by his own fists. The women at home either bickered out of jealousy or indulged in shopping sprees, enjoying the family’s wealth without a care for its sorrows. Lei Bao detested his sisters, who were like parasites – that’s why he stayed away from home and rarely returned. He preferred to roam with Qin Chuan, Ping Jie, and Long Hua, though it was less comfortable, it was more free.
Outside the hospital room, Ping Jie looked at Lei Bao lying on the bed and said with some worry, "It seems Leopard is still not reconciled."
"With what? That kid wouldn’t even let an ant off the hook, much less a living person. Fortunately, that boy isn’t here right now, otherwise," she chuckled bitterly, "the bar would’ve been torn apart by Leopard. Don’t be fooled by him lying there, who knows what he’s really thinking."
A bomb is bound to explode; it’s just that no one knows who lit the fuse.

Ye Tian stepped out of Old Master Tang’s gate, not going anywhere in particular, just squatting outside the shut door, reeking of alcohol – a scent picked up from drinking with Old Master Tang. It wasn’t much, just a small cup, and even Old Master Tang’s cup had been watered down. He fumbled in his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it; only the smoke filling his lungs gave him some relief.
Who knew Manager Tang had such troubles.
"Ye Tian, if Susu really ends up with you, you have to treat her well. Life hasn’t been easy for her. For most people, it’s just about not being favored by their family, but for Susu, even her biological father doesn’t care for her. In plain terms, it’s just those rumors hindering his career. I’m puzzled; it has reached this point, yet still so persistent, as if contentment comes only with achieving the rank of a national official. Human desires are insatiable as the snake that tries to swallow an elephant."
