Chapter 118: Where is the promised happiness of having many wives?
Returning to the Drunken Jiangnan restaurant, Ye Bufan and He Shuangshuang went together to his mother's presidential office. After opening the door, a strong smell of blood assailed them.
Kang Zhijun lay in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, clearly unwilling to rest in peace.
Ye Bufan shook his head. This mother and son brought it upon themselves; there was no one else to blame.
He left the scene to He Shuangshuang and the other investigators, then turned to go downstairs to find Ouyang Lan.
Seeing Ye Bufan enter, Ouyang Lan said, "Son, you called so late, and now you've come to find me. Is something wrong?"
She was incredibly nervous, afraid that her son had found out about the 700,000 yuan.
Ye Bufan glanced at the makeshift bed on the floor nearby and asked, "Mom, tell me the truth, why are you sleeping on the floor here? Were you kicked out by them?"
Ouyang Lan quickly said, "Son, please don't misunderstand, I really wanted to move out myself…"
Ye Bufan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to speak up for them. No matter what, I won't blame them. After all, the dead are to be respected."
"That's good, that's good…" Ouyang Lan had just relaxed her expression when she immediately cried out, "Son, what did you say? Who died?"
"Don't worry, and don't be afraid. Listen to me explain slowly." Ye Bufan took his mother's hand and recounted the entire story of Ouyang Hui being killed by Xuanying Taoist Nun.
"This… how is this possible?" Ouyang Lan said, her face pale, "Son, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"How could I lie to you? Kang Zhijun's body is upstairs. The police are investigating the scene."
Ye Bufan said, "Mom, you don't need to be sad. This is just karma. If they hadn't kicked you out, if they hadn't rushed to wear your clothes and jewelry, they wouldn't have lost their lives."
Although Ouyang Lan was saddened by Ouyang Hui's death, the incident had already occurred, and there was nothing else to do but leave it to the police.
Meanwhile, Ye Bufan felt a surge of lingering fear. Fortunately, Ouyang Hui had been a scapegoat this time; otherwise, his mother's life would have been in danger.
Now that he had become a Legacy holder, his cultivation was getting higher and higher, and the enemies he encountered were also getting stronger and stronger. It seemed he would have to find some way to protect his family in the future.
However, he couldn't always stay by his mother's side. It seemed he needed to make a Magical Artifact for his mother to carry with her.
Worried about Ouyang Lan, Ye Bufan did not leave the hotel and also found a private room to make a makeshift bed.
Early the next morning, he was in a deep sleep when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, he saw He Shuangshuang and Gu Qingcheng.
(End of this chapter, please turn the page)
standing on either side of the doorway.
He Shuangshuang had changed out of her uniform. She was wearing a white T-shirt and light blue jeans.
Although it was just ordinary attire, on her exquisite figure, it exuded the aura of an international supermodel, making her a pleasure to behold.
Gu Qingcheng was still in a white long dress, which, combined with her cold and unparalleled temperament, gave her a unique charm.
Originally, seeing two beautiful women should have been a happy occasion, but unfortunately, He Shuangshuang had a stern expression, and Gu Qingcheng had reverted to her previous icy demeanor. It was clear the two were still bickering.
He Shuangshuang said, "What time is it and you're still not up? Xiao Fan, hurry up and get ready and come with me."
After speaking, she stepped forward and linked her arm through Ye Bufan's left arm.
Ye Bufan said, "So early, where are we going?"
"To buy a phone, of course. You promised me yesterday that you'd let me buy you one."
Gu Qingcheng refused to be outdone, and as she spoke, she reached out and linked her arm through his right arm.
Ye Bufan quickly said, "Don't rush. At least let me wash my face and use the restroom."
Only then did the two women snort coldly and release his arms.
Ye Bufan quickly washed up, got dressed, and then followed the two women downstairs.
The service staff in the restaurant watched as their boss was sandwiched between two beautiful women, one on each side, and their eyes showed immense envy.
Ye Bufan, however, wore a bitter smile. Only he could understand the feeling of being caught in the middle.
Arriving downstairs, He Shuangshuang pulled his arm and said, "Ride in my car."
Gu Qingcheng said, "No, you must come with me."
He Shuangshuang said, "Why? Xiao Fan is my boyfriend!"
Gu Qingcheng's expression was icy, but her words were unyielding: "I could say he's my boyfriend too."
A woman of her personality rarely falls in love, but once she does, she commits wholeheartedly.
He Shuangshuang, with her fiery personality, naturally wouldn't admit defeat: "He's kissed me."
Gu Qingcheng said, "So what? He risked his life to save me yesterday."
Seeing the two arguing more and more fiercely, Ye Bufan quickly said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'm not riding in either of your cars. I'll drive myself."
Then he said to Shi Yuting, who was secretly laughing nearby, "Sister-in-law, quickly give me the car keys."
He took the car keys and started one of the hotel's Passats.
It was a good thing the hotel had a car; otherwise, it would have been really troublesome today. No matter which girl's car he rode in, he would have been.

burned to ashes by the other's wrath.
"Then I won't drive either. I'll ride in your car."
He Shuangshuang glared fiercely at Gu Qingcheng and quickly took the front passenger seat.
Her goal was to seize the advantageous position, to be closer to Ye Bufan, and to make Gu Qingcheng uncomfortable.
But she hadn't expected Gu Qingcheng to go even further. She snatched the car keys and directly sat in the driver's seat.
Ye Bufan looked helpless and could only sit alone in the back seat.
Gu Qingcheng started the car, instantly speeding it up to the maximum, weaving quickly through the city streets.
Ye Bufan quickly shouted, "I say, my dear lady, what are you doing? Slow down quickly, or the fine will be enough to buy a car!"
But Gu Qingcheng ignored him, still driving the Passat like a race car.
Ye Bufan could only secretly lament. What about the promised bliss of having many women? When others met two beautiful girls, they were overjoyed, but for him, it became a disaster?
Fortunately, it didn't take too long. After about ten minutes, they parked the car in front of a shopping mall.
This was Jiangnan City's most famous Huatai Commercial Building, specializing in various high-end electronic products.
"Get out!"
He Shuangshuang was impolite, pulling Ye Bufan out of the car, then sticking to his left arm.
Gu Qingcheng was not to be outdone, pulling Ye Bufan's other arm, and the three of them walked upstairs together.
The second floor of Huatai Commercial Building housed high-end and mid-range mobile phone brands from all over the world.
The two women showed great默契. They didn't even glance at other phone stores and went directly to the Vertu specialty store.
Vertu phones are known as the luxury brand among mobile phones. Any phone costs tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands or even millions are not uncommon.
Seeing customers enter, the sales Young Miss politely said, "Hello, three. Are you looking for a phone?"
Ye Bufan glanced at the price tags in the counter. Each price tag had a long string of zeros printed on it.
He had heard of the Vertu brand before. Its phone functions were actually not very powerful; it was mainly for rich people to show off.
Although he was also a rich person now, the virtue of frugality could not be abandoned.
He looked at the two girls on either side and said, "There's no need for us to buy such an expensive phone, is there? It's completely unnecessary. A new model of a Xiaomi phone would be perfectly fine."
Before He Shuangshuang and Gu Qingcheng could speak, a sharp, sarcastic voice sounded from behind him: "I don't think it's unnecessary, but rather that you can't afford it, right?"
