Chapter 181

Thinking of the several hundred thousand that had just slipped through his fingers because of a moment's lapse, Li Jing felt an added measure of self-reproach. Even so, this noble man still could not betray so-called worldly society's moral code, which, other than his sister, was the last thing he felt worth upholding.

It was a very clean and elegant little house, with vibrantly blooming chrysanthemums on the windowsill and a flourishing spider plant beside it that would have been even more lush had it not been for the weather turning cool. Evergreen hollies, extremely vigorous cacti, and a few classic orchids Li Jing had obtained from somewhere, were all rare varieties; even a small unflowered one would cost over fifty thousand yuan. This guy still embraced such bourgeois tastes - truly befitting of someone from a centuries-old prestigious family. If it weren't because of the pale-faced little girl in front of him, Pig Hu would have almost mistaken this place for Taoyuan.
