An You and Xiao Xueer

Wang Qin stood motionless behind them, her seductive gaze sizing them up repeatedly. Finally, she stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Supervisor Fu, handsome, this is a bank. Can't we talk about this after we go downstairs? It won't look good if you make a scene here."

An Yang glanced at Fu Jianming and said, "You haven't forgotten, and I'm not the kind of person who forgets easily either. Whatever you plan to do next, I'll take it on. If you have a problem, call me directly. I don't care whether you want to meet over tea, at an abandoned factory outside the Third Ring Road, or in a deserted public restroom at night. There's nowhere I wouldn't dare go."

Fu Jianming was just about to speak when Wang Qin, seeing that things were about to spiral out of control, hurriedly grabbed him. The two mounds on her chest trembled.

"Supervisor Fu, calm down. We still have business at the bank. Can't we talk about this after we get back? And you too, handsome. I think I've seen you at the company before. Since we work for the same company, we'll have to see each other all the time. Can't you be a little more tolerant? Besides, I'm standing right here. How could you bear to lose your temper in front of me? I'm very timid..."

An Yang remained unmoved. He looked at her fairly pretty face, then let his gaze drift downward and lingered on the deep cleavage before quickly looking away. He turned and went to the machine beside him to take a number.

Fu Jianming had coveted Wang Qin for a long time. It had taken him great effort to finally find a chance to go out with her alone, yet he had ended up losing face. How could he possibly accept that?

He cast An Yang a sinister look and came up with an idea. "An Yang, losing your job must feel awful, right? The cost of living in Jinguan City isn't low. How much money do you have left in your account? If you say a few nice words to me, I'll let you return to the company. How about it?"

An Yang swept him with a disdainful glance. "You're just a dog, yet you really think you're somebody."

Fu Jianming's expression grew even uglier, and his tone carried a touch of anger. "Don't be so ungrateful. A job with such a high salary isn't easy to find. I'm kindly helping you, so don't mistake a good person's intentions."

Just then, An Yang's number was called. He stopped paying attention to Fu Jianming and walked straight to the counter. Taking out several thick bundles of US dollars, he said, "I'd like to exchange foreign currency. I have an appointment. Fifty thousand US dollars in total."

Fu Jianming froze, his eyes filled with disbelief. Fifty thousand US dollars, at the current exchange rate, amounted to more than three hundred thousand yuan. Even his annual salary wasn't that high.

Wang Qin was stunned as well. A glimmer immediately appeared in her eyes as she looked at An Yang. She hadn't expected him to be a rich second-generation heir.

"Impossible!"

Fu Jianming said in a deep voice.

"You must have stolen it from somewhere!"

An Yang ignored him. After exchanging all the dollars into yuan and depositing the money into his bank account, he thanked the pretty teller, turned around, and walked back. However, he stopped beside Fu Jianming.

"You said I stole it? Then come outside. I'll prove it to you."

Fu Jianming instinctively wanted to go out, but after taking only one step, he stopped. He looked at An Yang somewhat fearfully and said, "You tell me to go out, so I have to? Why should I go?"

An Yang gave a soft snort, pushed the door open, and walked out without looking back.

Staring at his back, Fu Jianming shouted, "An Yang, don't get cocky. Just you wait! I've been making my way in Jinguan City for five years. I refuse to believe I can't bring you down!"

A bank security guard came over and looked at him with contempt. "Sir, please keep quiet. Don't make a loud disturbance."

Fu Jianming took a deep breath. Even Wang Qin's look at his side seemed strange now, as if it carried a hint of ridicule, making him even more furious. He turned and roared at the guard, "Do I need you to tell me what to do? Since when has a security guard been allowed to point fingers at me?"

The guard felt aggrieved. Although he held Fu Jianming in even greater contempt, he was still only a security guard. If he didn't want to lose his job, he had to bow and scrape. That was the reality of society.

"Sir, I'm only giving you a polite reminder. According to the regulations, if you continue making trouble, I have the right to maintain order here and ask you to leave."

Fu Jianming had run into a wall. He wasn't stupid; he knew that continuing would only put him at an even greater disadvantage. It would also further damage the impression he had made on Wang Qin, so he simply shut his mouth.

Only his heaving chest and heavy breathing revealed the anger in his heart.

An Yang walked along the street, his eyes somewhat cold. He had seen blood and killed people before, and not just one or two. Although, with his current strength, he still had to restrain himself in the real world, if Fu Jianming continued provoking him, he had plenty of ways to deal with him.

He took out his phone and called An You. Since saving her number in his phone, he had used it fewer than five times.

The call connected quickly, and a sweet, soft, pleasant voice came through.

"Hello, who is this?"

An Yang was stunned, then rubbed his nose. This girl had actually never saved his number.

"It's me, An Yang."

There was a moment of silence on the other end before she said, "Oh, it's you. Do you need something?"

An Yang didn't want to say anything like I'm your brother. Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong? Given their relationship, saying something like that would be meaningless. It would only make An You fall silent for even longer.

"Here's the thing. Mom sent me some money and asked me to take you shopping for clothes. I've been pretty free lately too. When do you have time? Let's go shopping."

There was silence on the other end again. Only after a long while did she reply, "Forget it. You're busy with work, and I'm not short of clothes. If I need any, I'll buy them myself."

An Yang felt helpless. Was it really because he had bullied her so often when they were children? This girl's ability to hold a grudge was unbelievable. Thus, he could only repeat what he had said earlier.

"I've been pretty free lately. Besides, Mom has already transferred the money to my card."

This time, there was no silence. An You said directly, "Then transfer the money to me. I'll buy them myself."

An Yang was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment. Then he heard an electronic announcement from the other end: "Aier Mall Station has arrived. Please exit through the rear door."

Aier Commercial Plaza was one of Jinguan City's landmark buildings. The mall offered all kinds of clothing, dining, entertainment, fitness, and other services, but prices there were high and unsuitable for ordinary wage earners.

The area around the mall also had all kinds of snacks, brand-name and unbranded clothing stores, entertainment facilities, leisure venues, and more. It was a great place for ordinary people to shop and have fun. One could say that anyone visiting Jinguan City had to visit Aier Commercial Plaza.

"Aier Mall, right? It isn't far from where I am. Wait for me. I'll be there soon."

After saying that, An Yang hung up, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Aier Commercial Plaza.

The traffic was somewhat congested, and the trip took quite a while.

After getting out of the taxi, he immediately saw An You. She was standing beside a bus stop with a companion, using the stop's shelter to block the sunlight.

It was June, and the outdoor temperature was high in the afternoon. Both girls had worked up a sweat, yet they had continued waiting there.

An Yang hurried over and said to An You, "You've been waiting a long time, haven't you? Why didn't you go inside the mall to wait?"

An You nodded without greeting him and said directly, "I told you not to come, but you insisted. What's the point of following us while we shop?"

An Yang simply ignored her. He smiled at the girl beside her and said, "You're An You's friend, right? I'm An You's brother, An Yang."

The girl beside her glanced at An Yang, then at An You. Pressing her lips together, she greeted him out of politeness. "My name is Xiao Xueer. Nice to meet you, Brother."

Her voice was somewhat cool, yet still carried a girl's soft sweetness. It was clear that she didn't pay much attention to An Yang either.

An You was a little unhappy. She directly pulled Xiao Xueer toward a shopping street beside the mall. She didn't particularly like being with An Yang, especially after telling him not to come and having him insist on coming anyway.

An Yang shrugged indifferently and followed behind them, treating it as completing the task his mother had given him.

Thus, a strange scene appeared on the street: two exceptionally eye-catching young beauties walking in front, with an utterly ordinary young man following behind. What was especially odd was that they barely interacted at all.

In all fairness, An You was very pretty. She wasn't particularly tall, but for her age, she was by no means short. She wore a pair of light-blue denim shorts and a white T-shirt, revealing a pair of fair, smooth legs. Red sneakers adorned her feet, making her look full of youthful energy.

Xiao Xueer, on the other hand, was rather tall. Her face was in no way inferior to An You's. She wore a white, tight-fitting dress with delicate lace trim that barely covered half her thighs, outlining her ******** figure. Her long, straight legs were even more eye-catching.

An Yang followed behind them expressionlessly, while his mind idly turned things over.

Xiao Xueer was certainly beautiful, but An You wasn't bad either. Both were youthful beauties. However, Xiao Xueer's figure was excellent. He had no idea how she had grown up like that, but in any case, she completely outclassed the underdeveloped An You.

Moreover, Xiao Xueer's clothes and styling were both excellent. The tight-fitting dress was well made, revealing that her family was fairly well-off. An You, by contrast, dressed far too casually and comfortably. She was completely outclassed in that regard as well.

Just as An Yang was feeling sorry for his little sister, An You pondered for a while and realized that ignoring him so completely might not be very nice. But when she turned her head, she saw that his gaze had been lingering on Xiao Xueer's back the entire time. Her face immediately darkened. She abruptly turned her head away and quickened her pace.

The time that followed consisted of An You and Xiao Xueer shopping, buying a few snacks, and An Yang following behind to pay the bills.

An Yang found it boring following behind them as well. He repeatedly hinted that the two beauties should buy some clothes, hoping to spend all five thousand yuan so he could escape this ordeal.

At first, An You and Xiao Xueer browsed the clothing stores nearby. But Xiao Xueer clearly looked down on the cheap clothes, while An You found several suitable pieces, tried them on, and ultimately didn't buy any.

An Yang couldn't help wondering whether these two girls had teamed up to mess with him.
