"Who is it? Darling. How annoying, can't you make her leave?"
A woman's voice sounded from the room at this moment.
Then Min Ziqiong smelled a more pungent perfume.
It was the woman who walked to the door and put her arms around Liao Yifan's neck.
"Darling, am I not enough for you? Do you still need to find other women? I'll get jealous, you know!"
The woman said again.
Clearly, she mistook Min Ziqiong for someone Liao Yifan had brought for a rendezvous.
Liao Yifan was too lazy to explain to the woman and said impatiently, "Hurry up and get dressed and leave!"
The woman was instantly unhappy upon hearing this.
"You said you loved me last night, and now you're turning your back on me after you've had your fun! I don't care, I'm not leaving! I have to see what this little vixen you found looks like, and why she can make you turn your back on me!"
With that, with a bang, the woman opened the room door.
She came face to face with Min Ziqiong.
"Oh, the little vixen is indeed quite pretty! Which street do you walk? Do you know the rules of the martial world? Do you know that you can't interfere with someone who is already taken?"
"If you don't know the rules, then let the madam who brought you teach you! Don't come out here to embarrass yourself!"
"Get lost quickly, or I'll tear your face apart, and you won't be able to make a living in this line of work anymore!"
The woman said fiercely to Min Ziqiong.
From her words, Min Ziqiong instantly understood.
This woman was a "socialite"!
This was a new profession that had emerged in recent years, very popular among some beautiful girls.
Simply put, these beautiful girls pooled money to buy luxury goods, cosmetics, and the like. They would then take turns using them, taking photos, and branding themselves.
At the same time, there was a teacher who specialized in teaching them how to hook up with men, usually called a "madam."
The madam was responsible for providing them with targets. Once they approached a target, they would try their best to cling to them, either by secretly taking compromising photos or by directly getting pregnant with the target's child.
By the time the target realized, it was already too late.
They could only reluctantly accept and marry the girl.
Many male celebrities, heirs, and entrepreneurs had fallen victim to this scheme.
It was obvious that the girl in front of her was targeting Liao Yifan, hoping to marry into the Liao family through this method.
Min Ziqiong's appearance made the girl feel a huge sense of crisis.
Naturally, she was eager to drive Min Ziqiong away.
"Don't misunderstand. Just because flies are attracted to rotten meat doesn't mean everyone else is. We are not the same kind of people, so there is no competition between us. I have important business to attend to, please move aside."
Min Ziqiong looked at the girl calmly and said.
Upon hearing this, the girl instantly became furious.
"Who are you calling a fly? Look in the mirror, what are you? If I'm a fly, what are you? Do you think you're any better than me, you bitch! Bitch! Rotten goods!"
Facing the girl's scolding, Min Ziqiong remained unusually calm and simply said five words: "I am Min Ziqiong."
*Swish!*
The girl's arm, which had been pushing towards Min Ziqiong, froze in mid-air.
The ferocity on her face instantly solidified.
The next second, it disappeared, replaced by intense shock and fear.
"You... you are really Min Ziqiong?"
The girl nervously sized up Min Ziqiong.
After a long while, she finally confirmed that the woman in front of her was indeed Min Ziqiong!
The one who broke the foreign technological lead, created a miracle in life sciences, and was hailed as a "true idol" by countless women in Longguo – a top female representative!
How ridiculous it was for the girl to ask what Min Ziqiong was.
If Min Ziqiong was nothing, then she could only be a puddle of liquid!
The girl might not have been convinced if others belittled her; but if Min Ziqiong, currently the number one woman in Longguo, belittled her, the girl would not dare to object!
This was not only due to the huge gap in their identities and strengths but also because of Min Ziqiong's immense popularity. So much so that a single word from Min Ziqiong could ruin the girl's reputation!
"I... I'm sorry... I'll leave now... I won't interrupt your important business..."
The girl apologized in a panic, grabbed her clothes, and ran out.
Only the pungent scent of perfume lingered in the room.
Min Ziqiong didn't dwell on this minor incident. Instead, she took out the IOU from her bag.
"Young Master Liao, I am here on behalf of Mr. Ying Chen to request the payment of the debt stated on this IOU."
"According to the agreement at the time, you promised to clear the debt within two months. However, more than two months have passed, and you have not paid a single cent."
"So, are you too busy with work and forgot, or do you intend to default on this payment?"
Upon hearing Min Ziqiong's words, Liao Yifan's face immediately sank: "Watch your words! How could I, a young master of the Liao family, be a deadbeat!"
"Isn't it just 1.4 billion? Anyone who didn't know would think it was 14 billion!"
"Come in first, it's not good for outsiders to see. I'll get you the money now!"
Saying this, Liao Yifan led Min Ziqiong into the house.
Soon, Liao Yifan came out of the bedroom carrying a large leather suitcase.
"The money was prepared long ago, I just forgot to bring it to you. But I am definitely not the deadbeat you think I am!"
Liao Yifan said righteously, placing the suitcase in front of Min Ziqiong.
Min Ziqiong said nothing and bent down to check if the amount of money in the suitcase was correct.
However, before she could open the suitcase, Liao Yifan stopped her: "Wait! Money for goods. Once I give you the money, you have to return the IOU to me."
With that, Liao Yifan, without waiting for Min Ziqiong's reply, snatched the IOU directly.
Min Ziqiong wanted to stop him, but Liao Yifan was too fast, and she couldn't stop him.
She could only temporarily give up on snatching the IOU and proceed to count the money in the suitcase.
However, when Min Ziqiong opened the suitcase, she was stunned to find that there was not a single cent inside!
Only a suitcase full of clothes!
"Hahaha... you idiot!"
"Did you really think it was money just because I said it was? I was just tricking you!"
Liao Yifan burst into laughter.
Then he suddenly tore the IOU in his hand into pieces and threw them up into the air!
Instantly, the sky was filled with confetti fluttering down like snowflakes.
"You say I owe you 1.4 billion, sorry, where's the proof? Where's the IOU?"
"Without proof, I won't admit it!"
"On the contrary, I will report you to the police for extortion. You, who are currently the hottest public figure, would likely have your image shattered and be reviled, right?"
Liao Yifan's face flickered with a smug and ferocious expression.
Min Ziqiong was furious at Liao Yifan's shameless act.
Her body trembled, her eyes filled with rage.
"I never expected that the young master of Jiadelie Auction House and the young master of the Liao family would stoop to such despicable behavior!"
Liao Yifan sneered: "Who said that as a young master of the Liao family, I must be a gentleman and not a villain? You can only blame yourself for being too stupid, not others!"
"However, I can offer you a way out. That life-essence liquid formula you have seems quite valuable. Why don't you hand over that thing, and then I'll give you 1.4 billion, how about that?"
Liao Yifan had also set his sights on the蜃境 (Shèn Jìng - Mirage Realm) formula!
However, the price he offered made Min Ziqiong's eyes widen in anger and her eyebrows shoot up!
