Chapter 3709: X-Ray Vision (2)

Money made the world go round. Once a man had money and power, his charm in the eyes of women would skyrocket.

After making money, Zhao Liang first bought a large house for his parents to live in. The little sister next door, who used to ignore him, now followed behind his butt, sweetly calling him ‘Brother.’

The neighbors opposite them, who always used to look down on their family and say this and that about the Zhao family, warning others not to find a boyfriend like him, had changed their tune.

The previously arrogant little beauty who used to look at people through her nostrils now smiled sweetly at him. This feeling was simply too nice, too intoxicating. Everything Zhao Liang obtained required no hard work. He acquired it effortlessly by relying on his x-ray vision.

The superpower of x-ray vision turned Zhao Liang into an expert appraiser and a stone gambling tycoon. A large portion of the raw stones he set his eyes on yielded top-quality jadeite. Especially for some of the finest jadeite, like imperial green jadeite—a single good piece was worth tens of millions.

The poor played with cars, the rich played with jade, as fools showed off their phones, and idiots showed off their computers. The way the rich played left ordinary people coughing up blood.

Armed with capital, Zhao Liang directly took a wad of cash to the company where the classmate he had previously tried to borrow money from worked, and threw it directly in that classmate's face.

Didn't you refuse to lend me money back then because you were afraid I couldn't pay it back? Now this is all for you, just to show you how blind you were back then.

To not return home after becoming rich and noble is like walking in the dark wearing brocade clothes. I now possess many beautiful clothes and beautiful women.

He had previously suffered humiliation from this classmate when trying to borrow money, and now he had returned to slap him in the face.

Ning Shu: …

Ning Shu figured that classmate must have been stifled to death.

It's my money. If I want to lend it to you, I'll lend it; if I don't, I won't.

A money-borrowing dispute caused the classmate to lose all face in front of his colleagues and ultimately get fired. Now that Zhao Liang had money and invested in the company, firing a minor employee to secure an investment was a no-brainer.

Previously, Zhao Liang was a youth struggling to survive in society, filled with confusion and pain. Now, he had the capital to make it impossible for others to establish a foothold in society.

Luxury cars and beautiful women are standard accessories for the rich. Unknowingly, quite a few beautiful women had already gathered around Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang happily accepted any woman who offered herself to him. Previously, these beauties wouldn't even spare him a glance, but now they all saw him in a new light.

Perhaps it was because Zhao Liang acted without any scruples. He directly told these women, "You aren't my only woman."

Yet, as if blinded by lard, these women, despite their jealousy, actually managed to coexist like wives and concubines in ancient times.

This…

Zhao Liang frequented high-end establishments, appraising treasures for others, and became a successful figure.

If he saw a beauty falling into prostitution, he would rescue her. Zhao Liang was also generous to his women, giving them money when they asked and even turning some of the top-quality jade he extracted into jewelry for them.

Zhao Liang's romantic conquests didn't discriminate based on status; the only prerequisite was that the woman had to be beautiful enough.

The original host, Rou Xueqiao, met him at a banquet. Rou Xueqiao was dignified and elegant, and she possessed a noble aura that distinguished her from ordinary beauties.

Ordinary women could be swayed by money, but a girl born into a wealthy, aristocratic family—had she never seen money? Had she never seen anything rare?

To conquer a woman like this, you had to let her see your formidable abilities and skills. The original host's grandfather had heart disease and suffered an attack during the banquet. Unhurriedly, Zhao Liang used his x-ray vision to examine the old man's condition and then proceeded to administer first aid.

Not gonna lie, this action allowed Zhao Liang to aggressively farm ‘presence points’ in front of Rou Xueqiao. He successfully made her remember him.

Because he saved the old man of the Rou family, Zhao Liang also became known to people in high society, thereby opening up another path to wealth.

Thanks to his x-ray vision, Zhao Liang could always cure a disease with a single dose of medicine, and what kind of person couldn’t get sick? Consequently, many prominent figures owed him favors.

And Zhao Liang took a fancy to Rou Xueqiao. Although Rou Xueqiao felt this man had a boundless future and he had saved her grandfather's life, she already had a fiancé. Her fiancé was a man in poor health, who was constantly sickly. He spent half of every year in the hospital.

Even though she was unwilling to accept this as her fate, enjoying a certain lifestyle meant paying a certain price. Rou Xueqiao could only resign herself to this.

Zhao Liang liked Rou Xueqiao very much. She was beautiful, had a good family background, possessed a noble personality, and carried a hint of melancholy that made one's heart ache just looking at her.

It would be fantastic to bag a true goddess like this, a rich, beautiful woman. Zhao Liang was exceptionally attentive to Rou Xueqiao, and he kept giving her gifts that weren't very valuable but were full of sincerity.

Rou Xueqiao had a good impression of Zhao Liang but didn't agree to date him. As she was born into an aristocratic family, her every word and action drew the attention of many.

The less Rou Xueqiao yielded, the more enthusiastic Zhao Liang became. He grew increasingly attentive to her.

Rou Xueqiao stated that she already had a fiancé from another aristocratic family and wouldn't involve herself with Zhao Liang.

Perhaps Rou Xueqiao's fiancé's side caught wind of something, because the wedding was moved forward significantly. Rou Xueqiao was to be married off in a very short amount of time.

Rou Xueqiao firmly rejected Zhao Liang. In truth, the Rou family was currently in decline. The marriage of a delicate, pampered daughter raised by an aristocratic family to a sickly man was clearly a political marriage.

When Rou Xueqiao got married, Zhao Liang ran over to crash the wedding. He directly angered Rou Xueqiao's fiancé into collapsing on the ground and dragged Rou Xueqiao away, claiming she wouldn't be happy with a man like that.

Holy crap, Rou Xueqiao was forcefully dragged away by Zhao Liang. Then, to her horror, she discovered that this man actually had many other female confidantes.

Rou Xueqiao's fiancé was sent to the hospital. His condition worsened, bringing disaster upon the Rou family as well.

Rou Xueqiao was utterly screwed over by the Rou family, and her heart was full of misery. This man had so many female confidantes, yet he actually came to pursue her, putting her in a situation where she couldn't step down gracefully.

Rou Xueqiao rushed to the hospital to care for her fiancé, but she couldn't even get through the ward door.

Rou Xueqiao's actions directly infuriated Zhao Liang.

I've already rescued you, yet you still fucking insist on jumping into a fire pit?

With his abilities, he was completely capable of giving the Rou family a helping hand.

For a man, the hope was that a woman wouldn't ask why, but wouldn simply have full confidence in him and stake everything on him. Clearly, Rou Xueqiao's actions disappointed Zhao Liang.

He might not be able to compare to the Rou family right now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't in the future. The Zhao family could also become an aristocratic family. When that time came, Rou Xueqiao would regret it.

Intentionally or otherwise, Zhao Liang began to suppress the Rou family. Since he knew many prominent figures, he made the Rou family's situation even worse.

He wanted to make that short-sighted woman, who failed to recognize a treasure when she saw one, regret her choices.

Zhao Liang was a person with extremely strong self-esteem. If someone happened to walk past him and spit on the ground because of an inflamed throat, Zhao Liang would feel that the person was humiliating him. Beneath his extreme self-esteem lay extreme inferiority.

First it was the classmate he tried to borrow money from, and now it was the blind Rou Xueqiao; both had touched a raw nerve in his heart.
