Chapter 38

Zeng Rou quickly arrived at the intersection of the bar district and immediately saw Xia Tian. This time, she had driven herself.

"Have you been well recently?" In the car, Zeng Rou looked at Xia Tian with tenderness.

"Still okay, but you, I'm afraid you've had a lot of trouble lately." Xia Tian said lightly.

"I know. Recently, the family has been in crisis, those old men have ulterior motives. They want me dead, and they have probably already negotiated or prepared for the distribution of my shares after my death." Zeng Rou said with a sad expression.

"Why do you still stay there? They have already hired the Sand Gang. Once the Sand Gang accepts a task, they won't stop until the job is done." Xia Tian looked at Zeng Rou, puzzled.

"We are mother and daughter, with no one to rely on. Suffering a bit is normal. I hold 51% of the shares in Zeng Corporation, making me the largest shareholder. If I die, my shares will go to my daughter. Tian Tian is still young and doesn't understand anything. Those old men won't let her off easily." Zeng Rou's eyes revealed a hint of sorrow.

"Ah, there are only two ways to solve this problem. One is for you to sell all your shares, and the other is to get rid of those old men. Not only should their shares come to you, but those who dare to act recklessly should be eliminated." Xia Tian sighed. He didn't want to see the second outcome; he didn't want to be the bad guy, but he knew that sometimes others would force him to be.

"Even if I sell my shares, they won't let me go. After all, that money is enough to tempt anyone to commit a crime." Zeng Rou didn't believe those old men in the family would show her any mercy.

"Then we can only think of a way to get rid of these people." Xia Tian frowned.

"I don't want you to do anything illegal. Just give me three days, and I can dismantle the power of those old men." Zeng Rou had known for a long time that those old men in the family were going to target her, so she had prepared early.

The combined shares of those old men were less than 30%. She had a way to completely neutralize their power. She had been planning this since Tian Tian almost had a car accident.

"Then I'll stay with you for these three days. With me here, no one can do anything to you." Xia Tian nodded.

"Hehe." Zeng Rou laughed, but her happiness wasn't just because Xia Tian could protect her. She was happy because she could finally be with Xia Tian. She had no idea how to get close to him before.

Now, she finally had the chance.

"What are you laughing about?" Xia Tian turned to look at Zeng Rou. Her beauty was mature, and every aspect of her attire and makeup had its own meaning, not too much, not too little.

She exuded a mature charm, like a ripe fruit waiting to be picked. But her body was surrounded by thorns, a protection she had for herself. These thorns only disappeared when she was with Xia Tian.

"I'm happy, so I'm laughing." Zeng Rou was very happy. She didn't ask for much; as long as Xia Tian was by her side, her heart was at peace.

The car soon arrived at Zeng Rou's residence, an independent villa.

At the entrance was a large iron gate with security guards.

Seeing the luxurious environment and the house, Xia Tian realized just how wealthy Zeng Rou was.

"This place is really big." Xia Tian scanned the area.

"Do you like it? This will be your home too. Here are the keys to the villa. Take them." Zeng Rou handed a set of keys to Xia Tian.

"Why are you giving them to me?" Xia Tian looked at the keys in his hand.

"In case bad guys come, you'll need keys to enter any room, right?" Zeng Rou explained, but in her heart, she wanted Xia Tian to really consider this place his home.

Tian Tian was running around the house under the care of a nanny.

Seeing Xia Tian, Tian Tian ran over directly.

"Brother, pick me up." Tian Tian really liked Xia Tian because he always protected her in the most dangerous moments. Children don't understand much, but she knew that as long as she saw Xia Tian, everything would be fine.

"Tian Tian, have you missed your brother?" Xia Tian picked up Tian Tian and smiled. Little Tian Tian was really cute.

"Missed." Tian Tian said in a baby voice.

"Don't cling to your big brother as soon as he arrives. Let him rest a bit." Zeng Rou said, seeing Tian Tian's behavior. She was genuinely happy to see Tian Tian and Tian Tian getting along so well.

"It's fine. Little Tian Tian is so cute; I'd be upset if I couldn't hold her." Xia Tian smiled.

Zeng Rou sat next to Xia Tian and Tian Tian, her face full of smiles. She finally felt the presence of a home. At this moment, she didn't need to think about work or the old men in the family, or anyone who wanted to harm her. Her mind and body were completely relaxed.

"Mrs. Wang, you can go rest now." Zeng Rou said.

"Yes, Madam." Mrs. Wang lived outside the villa and was picked up and dropped off by a dedicated car every day.

"Tian Tian, stay here and watch TV with your big brother. Mom is going to take a shower." Zeng Rou kissed Tian Tian on the cheek and walked straight to the bathroom.

"Shower." The word made Xia Tian's spirit perk up. He had just witnessed the live show with Shadow and the bar girl, and he was still very excited.

Zeng Rou wanted to take a shower as soon as he arrived at her place.

Tian Tian stayed on Xia Tian's lap, and the two of them really started watching TV.

Although Xia Tian was watching TV, his mind kept replaying the intense scene he had just seen with Shadow and the bar girl. He knew he had grown up. Seeing such a stimulating scene, he couldn't help but think, and there was a beautiful mature woman taking a shower in the bathroom behind him.

He didn't dare to turn around, afraid that his X-ray vision would activate on its own, which would be embarrassing.

Time passed slowly, and every second was a torment for Xia Tian. Although his eyes were on the TV, his mind was imagining Zeng Rou in the shower.

His heart rate increased.

The bathroom door opened: "I'm done. Do you want to take a shower too?"

In front of the bathroom, a woman with wet long hair stood there, her face slightly surprised. Her snow-white body occasionally dripped with water droplets. The towel barely covered the essential parts, and large areas of skin were exposed to the air.
