Luo Xiao looked at the pile of information he had collected about Yang Jian from his childhood to the present. He randomly picked up one of the documents and quickly skimmed through it. His eyebrows raised in surprise: Oh, I didn’t expect that Yang Jian of this life to be much ‘happier’ than in the previous life!
His father was still a skilled worker at a state-owned enterprise, but this time he did not make any work mistakes. Only that he offended the leader and was fired. Although he had healthy hands and feet, because of his high ambitions, he was unwilling to work in private enterprises. A pity for him that he happened to catch up when the state-owned enterprises were undergoing reform, and he needed credentials to be hired again.
But how could it be possible for him, who only studied for a few years, to easily re-enter the state-owned enterprise? In the end, his fate was still living in a state of darkness. Although this time he did not develop an alcohol addiction, unfortunately he developed a gambling addiction. What used to be an enviable three-person family quickly fell into ruin in less than a year. They not only lost all their assets, but also accumulated a lot of debt. Every day, there were several debt collectors coming to their door. Most of the valuable items in the house had been sold. They could be described as truly penniless.
As for his mother, she was still an ordinary housewife, but this time she did not go out to work to support the family. Instead, she chose to leave their familiar hometown and start a new life with a wealthy older man.
Only Yang Jian was left behind to depend on his father. The hardship of their living situation caused him to be mature early. The strange eyes and pointing from others left a deep psychological shadow on his young heart. He became even more self-abased and psychologically distorted than in the previous life. Due to the constant bullying he endured, he even fell in love with…
Ah? What? Luo Xiao rubbed his eyes and re-confirmed that he had not read it wrong. A flash of surprise crossed his face, and he was at a loss for words, unsure how to express the complicated emotions he was feeling at the moment.
But he had to admit, this was really unexpected!
And it was written here that the lovers he found were all men in their 40s or 50s. At that age, they could almost be his father, right? Wait, what?
This, could it be?
Luo Xiao couldn’t help but have a disturbing guess in his mind, which made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down, then continued reading.
When he saw a name that sounded very familiar, he frowned slightly. Wasn’t this the name he had heard somewhere before?
Luo Xiao tilted his head, tapping the name with his finger, then cursed in his heart: Oh damn, isn’t this the father of that guy?
Yes, that’s right. The reason why Luo Xiao was surprised was that the information showed that one of Yang Jian’s recent “patrons” was the father of that Si Cheng, the office director of the Agricultural Bureau. It turned out that this director was recently making trouble with his wife because of Yang Jian’s matter, which led to Si Cheng’s act of retaliation by attacking him.
So, is this lifetime’s Yang Jian really a male mistress? This setting, hehe, I mean, how blind was he in his previous life to fall in love with such a man? I really want to turn back time and slap my past self hard!
But a male mistress… Luo Xiao rubbed his chin and then looked at the name of the director. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he already had an idea in mind. Since the information shows that this director not only embezzled, but also used his power for personal gain, this scum of society, it’s better to deal with him!
Luo Xiao picked up the phone next to him and dialed a number. “It’s me, help me investigate this director’s information in detail as well, the reward is still the same as before. Yes, the more detailed the better. That’s right, the old method. Alright, I’ll wait for your reply.”
Hanging up the phone, Luo Xiao began to ponder in his heart how to achieve the best effect for this matter. After all, to become an office director, one must have their own connections and means. So it’s better not to act rashly, but if you do, you must hit the target!
“Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?” Ye Lan took off his clothes and casually hung them on a nearby hanger. “Are you hungry?”
“Huh?” Luo Xiao came out of his deep thoughts abruptly. Before he could say anything, his stomach answered first.
“You!” Ye Lan’s eyes showed obvious doting, and he walked over and playfully ruffled his hair. “You are becoming more and more cute!”
“Who’s cute? You are cute! Your whole family is cute!” Luo Xiao blushed and retorted angrily.
Ye Lan suppressed the laughter that almost came out of his mouth and answered with some difficulty, “Mm, my whole family is cute!”
“…” Seeing the teasing expression on Ye Lan’s face, Luo Xiao had no more doubts. He turned his head angrily, his stomach was not hungry anymore.
“Okay, okay, I was just joking, Lord Xiao Xiao, you have great magnanimity and won’t compete with me, a small one~” Ye Lan leaned down and looked at Luo Xiao with a flattering look.
Well, since the two of them have truly been together, Xiao Xiao has become more and more moody! It makes his heart itchy, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t tease him a bit every day!
“Hmph!” Luo Xiao looked up. “Tell me, what are we having for dinner today?”
“Braised pork trotters, steamed sea bass, grilled beef, sauced eggplant, and three-treasure mushroom soup.” Ye Lan held Luo Xiao’s hand as they walked towards the dining room, answering gently.
“Mm, well done.” Luo Xiao pretended to nod coldly. His tsundere attitude almost made Ye Lan lose control, it was simply too tempting!
Clearing his throat lightly, he reluctantly averted his gaze and asked, “By the way, Xiao Xiao, what were you thinking about just now? I called you several times before you responded.”
“Didn’t I tell you the other day that I saw a person I hate? I was thinking about how to deal with him.” Luo Xiao said after taking a bite of the beef and sitting down.
“Hmm? What effect are you hoping to achieve?” Ye Lan did not ask Luo Xiao why he hated that person, nor did he ask who that person was. He only knew that his Xiao Xiao was not the kind of person to hate someone without reason. That person must have done something to make Xiao Xiao hate him. If that was the case, then he only needed to support Xiao Xiao.
Luo Xiao shared his thoughts and the information he had gathered with Ye Lan. Ye Lan thought for a moment and then proposed, “Since you want to ruin these two people, we can expose their affairs.”
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too.” Luo Xiao nodded in agreement, “But we need to be careful about how we expose it without leaving any traces, with quick and effective results and not giving the other party time to respond.”
There was no way. The internet was still in its infancy at this time, far from the developed state it would be in a decade or more later. Simply exposing it online and employing a team of internet trolls to hype it up would definitely make it go viral. But now, they would have to come up with other ways.
“I see, then once you get those detailed materials, let’s hand them over to the Discipline Inspection Commission.” Ye Lan picked up a pork’s trotter and placed it in Luo Xiao’s bowl. “Recently, there is a special inspection operation targeting clean government officials from above. We can take advantage of this opportunity. And the team leader in charge of this operation happens to be my grandfather’s former subordinate. He’s a very upright person, so you don’t have to worry about any problems in the middle.”
“In that case, we can start hiring people to spread the relevant news the day before that person gets caught. We’ll spread it to the aunties, you know they are a powerful fighting force!” Luo Xiao swallowed the food in his mouth and continued.
“Alright, let’s do it that way then.” Ye Lan nodded in agreement and then picked up another chopstick of sea bass. “Try this fish. I specially had someone bring it over. It’s the fresh sea bass that just arrived today! Does it taste good?”
“Well, not bad, the meat is tender and fresh!” Luo Xiao ate with his eyes narrowed. “Oh right, how’s the business at the supermarket lately?”
“It’s all officially on track now. The newest branch store has been profitable since the last quarter, not to mention the others.” Ye Lan sighed inwardly. Xiao Xiao is really his lucky star!
The two continued eating and chatting, and soon finished all the dishes on the table. Ye Lan looked at Luo Xiao who was sitting on the sofa and rubbing his full stomach. He smiled and went to the kitchen to brew a pot of lemon tea.
Holding the lemon tea with the right temperature in his hand, Luo Xiao turned his head and stared carefully at Ye Lan’s back as he washed the dishes. He couldn’t help but show a silly smile on his face: How could he be so lucky to meet someone like Ye Lan who is capable both at home and in business, and also treats him so well?
“What’s wrong, Xiao Xiao?” Ye Lan finished washing the dishes, turned around and saw Luo Xiao’s silly expression. He reached out to pinch his nose and asked with a smile.
Luo Xiao slapped his right hand away, rubbed his sore nose and grumbled, “Hmph, I’m not telling you!”
“Okay, okay, don’t tell me then.” Ye Lan acquiesced good-naturedly, then took a big step and sat directly beside Luo Xiao. He stretched out his hand and hugged him, pulling his lover into his arms!
The room was filled with a warm, cozy atmosphere, and the two young hearts drew closer to each other in this moment…
