Union Of Enemies

Chapter 10

Translated by CatMeme6

A satisfied life is having someone to serve you. For example, a beautiful woman serving you breakfast, blowing on it to cool down to the right temperature and sending it to your mouth with gentle words.......be careful.......

At this moment, Jia Shao was reclining sideways on the chair like a snake hanging from a branch with her eyes closed and enjoying the service of the beauty.

"You are going on blind dates?" Fang Qing Kui looked at the person in front of her from top to bottom. Her hand holding the chopsticks shook and fortunately, the hot soup dumpling* in her hand did not fly to Jia Shao's face. "Then.....do you remember where we first met?"

(Soup dumpling is a minced meat dumpling with a layer of skin to hold soup within the dumpling skin. When it is pierced, hot soup will flow out. This dumpling is also known as Xiao Long Bao.)

Two piercing lights like knives flew from Jia Shao's eyes and she snorted. "What do you mean? You think I am possessed by a ghost?"

Fang Qing Kui regained her usual calm and elegant manner. Picking up the steamed soup dumpling, she split it into half to let out the hot steam before putting it next to Jia Shao's mouth. When she saw Jia Shao biting into the dumpling, she said in a lukewarm tone. "He is in thoracic surgery not in psychiatry. You don't have to get yourself crazy."

"Pu!" The mouthful of steam dumpling with soup sprayed out. The elegant beauty calmly put down the magazine she held up in front of her face as a shield and unhurriedly shook it. As she watched Jia Shao coughed miserably, there was not a trace of sympathy on her face.

"What do you mean?" Jia Shao grabbed the glass of water on the table and took a big mouthful. After her breathing had calmed down, she said. "This is not funny."

"So, now you know." Fang Qing Kui continued to work on the dumplings as before. "This is the same as the shock you gave me."

Someone rolled her eyes. "Who said so? My behavior is normal. You are pulling me and him together and that is not normal behavior."

The chunky soup dumpling in Fang Qing Kui's hand was swaying in front of Jia Shao and her eyes were turning round and round following the swaying movements of the dumpling. A magical voice sounded. "Tell me.......tell me........why do you want to go on blind dates? Why do you want to go on blind dates?........"

She stretched her head and instantly captured the soup dumpling into her mouth. With a moan and a satisfied voice, she vaguely said. "Tell you after eating......tell you after eating."

Another piece of soup dumpling began to sway in front of her eyes. "Tell me now........tell me now........"

Jia Shao sucked in her saliva. "Okay, tell you now.......tell you now........"

A high-ranking car slowly stopped in front of the studio door. The two people turned their heads simultaneously and dollar signs popped out of their eyes. They instantly stopped joking with each other.

A dainty woman got down from the car when the driver opened the door. She walked slowly towards the studio with a perfect smile.

Fang Qing Kui put down the spoon in her hand and standing up, she leisurely walked forward to greet the woman. Jia Shao looked at the famous little wings on the car emblem and then looked at the woman covered with branded names all over her body. Abruptly, she picked up the spoon that Fang Qing Kui had put down and started to eat.

(The Author did not specifically state the name of the car but it is well-known that the Rolls Royce has a winged emblem called the 'Spirit of Ecstasy' and the Bentley has a winged emblem. So the guess is yours but anyway both brands are high-end luxurious cars.)

"Hello, are you here to make an appointment or do you already have an appointment with our photographer?" With a glance, Fang Qing Kui had confirmed that she had not seen this woman before but out of courtesy, since the woman was clad in brand names from top to bottom, she had to ask politely.

The woman swept a haughty look around the studio. Her eyes were drawn to the person who was eating with her head lowered and she completely ignored the questions directed at her.

Fang Qing Kui did not continue with her enthusiastic questions. As she smiled, her sharp eyes could keenly capture the pickiness and disdain hidden in the other woman's demeanor. She looked at Jia Shao and decided to join her to continue eating their breakfast.

"Wait." Just as she was about to walk away, the woman asked in a rude and arrogant voice. "Do you have a photographer here by the name of Jia Shao? Where is he?"

Fang Qing Kui threw a glance at the person in front of her, sitting a little distance away. She was picking up a steamed soup dumpling, blowing and blowing to bring down the temperature. Then she fiercely ate it in one mouthful revealing a satisfied look as if she did not hear anything.

So, she also chose to ignore the woman and sashayed to the reception counter. She picked up the phone and spoke into the phone in a low voice with an appearance of being busy.

The woman stood in the center of the hall without anyone greeting her or anyone answering her. She looked around awkwardly and her arrogant momentum changed to helplessness.

The person eating dumplings continued eating her dumplings. The person who was talking into the phone continued talking. After standing around for five minutes, the woman finally stepped forward and walked toward Jia Shao.

Jia Shao was blowing the soup in the dumpling and did not look up at the woman standing in front of her. She was about to put the dumpling into her mouth when suddenly a white piece of paper appeared from the woman's side and was held in front of her.

She bit into the dumpling and her eyes swept over........

2, 3, 4, 5.......

There were a total of 5 zeros which made Jia Shao's hands stopped moving.

It was not that she had not seen a $100,000 check before and it was not that she had not done a high-level photography business session before. A photography session on a sports car in the outdoors could easily get that price. Not to mention that now some wealthy lady is blasting her with money which is also considered as a valuable gift.

She just did not understand the woman in front of her. One ~ she did not make a booking. Two ~ she did not make an appointment. Straightaway she chucked the money at her with an air of hostility.

Therefore, Jia Shao only just took a cursory look and continued with her breakfast.

If the woman wanted to sit down, she can but if the dumplings were to go cold, then they will no longer taste nice.

Just as she placed the dumpling near her mouth to blow, the woman in front of her finally spoke. "If you leave Zhen Lang, this $100,000 check is yours."

The big eyes which had all this while been staring at the dumpling moved from the dumpling to stare at the woman's face. Jia Shao who was half-full finally regained a little of her ability to think. Now she can finally recollect where she had seen this woman who was standing in front of her with an appearance of nobility and seriousness before.

The last time, in 'Beautiful' Café, when she and Zhen Lang were mutually pinching each other, this woman seems to be sitting opposite them. And then the last, last time, when she went to look for Zhen Lang in his office, it seems she was also the woman that was flattened by the door when she slammed on it.

"Zhen Lang is a promising doctor. My grandfather is very optimistic about him. Wang Enterprise is also involved in medical business and if Zhen Lang and I are together, there will be no limit to his future. If you are willing to leave him, this $100,000 check is yours."

(100,000 Taiwanese dollars may not be much today but this story was written many years ago, so the monetary value at that time would have been higher.)

Jia Shao, who was holding up a spoon, looked at the person in front of her. In her mind, she could hear the roll of thunders and see the flashes of lightning in the clear blue sky.

This woman must have watched too many third-rate novels or she was brainwashed by TV dramas for her to say such words that lacked creativity.

"If you don't agree, I'll spread the story of your same sex love around. You must understand that homosexuality in the country is taboo. Once it is found out that the two of you have feelings for each other, not only will your future be destroyed, Zhen Lang will also be ruined for a lifetime. If you really love him, then let him go."

This instance, Jia Shao really believed that this woman really has a mental problem and the problem was not small.

But.......

Jia Shao stared at the check and her mind started to turn quickly.

She could not be bothered how this woman came to misunderstand the situation between her and Zheng Lang. Anyway, both of them were not in a relationship. To her, this $100,000 check was gift dropped from the sky and if she did not take it, it would be a waste.

"Looking at you, it seems you have the assets to attract other men. If you like, I can introduce other men to you but in future, don't look for Zhen Lang anymore."

Seeing her hesitation, Wang Shao Guan raised her chin. "As long as you let go, he should still like women."

Jia Shao seemed to have a feeling as if she was the pitiful protagonist who was being persecuted, being bullied and being trampled upon in a TV drama. At this moment, is she supposed to pick up the check tearfully and silently shred it into pieces? Is she supposed to bite her lips and say with trembling lips ~ I really love him......I don't want your money but I will leave him.........?

Thinking up to here, she could only feel the hairs under her vest stand upright in salute as the waves of coldness swept over her.

She caught the glance that Fang Qing Kui threw at her while Fang Qing Kui was standing at the reception counter talking into the phone and it seemed to be asking whether she needed help. She shook her head slightly and Fang Qing Kui continued to talk into the phone and her eyes showed a hint of anger.

Jia Shao picked up the calculator on the table and tapped on it. "Is this considered as compensation for leaving Zhen Lang?"

"Yes!" Wang Shao Guan was already reluctant to hide her powerful capability and stared at Jia Shao's face. "This relationship between the both of you is just a pastime and it is impossible to last a lifetime. The feelings of homosexuals at the most will only last for 3 years. Giving you $100,000 is only to bring forward the time of your breakup."

"Bring forward the time of breakup?" Jia Shao's fingers flew over the calculator keys quickly and only the sound of keys clacking could be heard. "Do you know how much Zhen Lang earns in a month?"

Wang Shao Guan was stunned and Jia Shao's eyes sparkled with a mocking smile. "Zhen Lang is now considered as one of the best surgeons in the country. He does liver and lung transplant surgeries combined with cardiac surgeries. For people who require this kind of surgery, they are usually those on the critically-ill list. Don't talk about $30,000 or $50,000, even if spending $100,000 plus to $200,000 to get a private doctor who is willing to do the surgery, they would still be willing to pay, isn't that right? And this amount is not considered large for many families nowadays and their only wish is to get a first-class surgeon. If Zhen Lang is to perform 2 to 3 such operations in a month, his income will be at least $200,000 plus. In addition, he will receive a bonus and some other benefits from the hospital and in a year, his income will easily come up to 3 million. In 3 years, his income will be 10 million. Suddenly, she stopped talking and placed the calculator in front of Wang Shao Guan. "It is true his future is promising. If I stay together with him for 3 years and then I take away half of his property, I will have almost 5 million. Since you said that you are paying me compensation, you will have to pay me an amount more than this to make it profitable for me. So, I will add 30% which comes up to 8 million. If you give me this amount, I will leave immediately. I will also guarantee to strip Zhen Lang naked and tie him up with a bow before sending him to your bed."

The more she talked, the more relaxed she became. Wang Shao Guan who was standing in front of her had turned pale as she stared at the numbers on the calculator and did not respond for a long time.

"He......." After a long time, Wang Shao Guan could barely force out a word and then she did not say any more.

She had thought $100,000 to a photographer was not a small fortune and as far as she knows, homosexuals change their partners casually. When she decided to give such a large amount, she was certain Jia Shao would agree and so she had confidently come to look for Jia Shao. She did not expect that she would not be able to argue with every word that Jia Shao said. If her family knew she had given 8 million to a gay, it would be impossible for her to explain.

Jia Shao picked up a dumpling and said. "Well, the discussion had ended. If you can't afford to pay me, please leave."

Wang Shao Guan took a deep breath. "I had Zhen Lang investigated. Since he has been a doctor for so many years in the hospital, he did not have any other boyfriends. That is to say, as long as you disappear, he will return to normal. With my status and position, to make you disappear from such a big city is not necessarily a difficult task."

When did the sad love drama change to a gangster love drama?

Jia Shao ignored her and bit hard on the soup dumpling.

"Pu!......." A stream of hot soup shot like an arrow from the dumpling straight onto the chest of Wang Shao Guan.

Today, Wang Shao Guan wore a suit with a tight short skirt which showed off her slender waist, her pair of slender long legs and snow-white neck. Her charming figure displayed a perfectly beautiful image.

Especially that patch on her chest.......it was clearly covered without leaving any gap but that part of the skin that was slightly exposed made people have a little delusion.

The hot soup from Jia Shao's dumpling squirted without wavering and hit her chest right in the center leaving a strange pattern on her black expensive suit.

"Ah!" Wang Shao Guan no longer cared about her image and when she was burnt, she screamed and jumped. Her fingers pinched her thin clothes and kept shaking to keep them from sticking to her skin. She was jumping on her two feet like a shrimp thrown into a hot oil pan.

Jia Shao did not expect that her unintentional bite would result in such a situation. Full of sympathy she stood up and reached out her hands. After thinking for a moment, she withdrew her hands and folding her arms, she looked at Wang Shao Guan.

*Pu........*

*Pu........*

Two things slid down from Wang Shao Guan due to her violent movements and they fell down heavily at the feet of the two woman. Immediately, it attracted Jia Shao's attention.

They were round with a soft texture like water balls and they bounced twice on the ground then quivered before settling down.

Jia Shao reached out and poked them with her hands. The feeling was good and they felt as warm as the body temperature. She raised her head and saw someone had both her hands on her chest frozen in her place. She forgot about the burnt, forgot to scream, forgot to jump and stared blankly at the two ball-shaped things lying in the dust on the floor.

Jia Shao's lips suddenly opened into a big, big smile and her eyes rested on the other woman's chest as if drilling her eyes inside to see through her. "So, the two of us are on the same path*."

(On the same path here means that both JS and WSG are the same - they have flat chests.)

Wang Shao Guan's face changed from green to red, then from red to purple and then turned pale. Her angry eyes stared at Jia Shao then turned around stiffly and walked towards the door.

"Wait." Jia Shao licked her lips and casually pulled out her phone. "What did you say just now? I and Zhen Lang will only last at the most 3 years?"

Not waiting for Wang Shao Guan to reply, she dialed the phone in her hand and then pressed the loudspeaker key. "Vet! How many years have we known each other?"

The person at the other end of the line was silent for a while and then a clear voice sounded. "22 years."

"Excellent!" Jia Shao smiled and ended the call. She looked at Wang Shao Guan and said. "Miss, do you need to use the changing room so that you can put back your balls first?"

Wang Shao Guan tightened her face and her eyes mirrored her fury. She did not say a word and marched out on stiff legs. She hoped to get into her family's high-ranking car as quickly as possible. She had told her driver that he could only leave the car for half an hour, so he should be back by this time.

Just when her hand touched the door handle, a sweet female voice came from behind her. "Just now I saw someone parked his car in front of our door and left. That is a no parking zone and I don't know who the car belongs to, so I called for the tow truck to tow the car away."

Outside the door, the driver of the Wang Family was scratching his head and looking around, searching for the bright silver extended wheelbase car with the winged emblem.
