The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 404: Meeting Mr. Jiu

The two men took a couple of steps, but hearing no footsteps, they turned back to see Xu Wenwan standing at the mouth of the alley. They couldn’t help but urge her on.

"Come on! Mr. Jiu is waiting inside!"

Xu Wenwan couldn’t help but ask the system.

"You’ll be fine."

Reassured, Xu Wenwan finally stepped inside.

"Who is Mr. Jiu?"

Hearing her question, the two men chuckled and explained.

"Our Mr. Jiu is the boss of the black market around here. If you want to sell those facial soaps of yours, you’ll need his nod of approval."

"Be sharp when you go in."

Xu Wenwan agreed, a look of excitement on her face.

’This Mr. Jiu is the boss of the black market, which means he must be more powerful than that Third Master from before. If that’s the case, I absolutely have to get on his good side.’

As she was pondering this, the group stopped in front of a courtyard.

The two men had apparently arranged their visit in advance, as they pushed the gate open and walked right in.

They then led Xu Wenwan into a room.

Xu Wenwan had complete faith in the system, so she entered with almost no hesitation.

A thick smell of Chinese medicine filled the room. The moment Xu Wenwan stepped inside, the odor nearly sent her stumbling back out. Caught off guard, she had inhaled a couple of lungfuls and immediately turned away, breaking into a fit of coughs.

Mr. Jiu was the same man Leng Yuan had beaten half to death.

He was still unable to walk.

Knowing Xu Wenwan was coming today, he’d had his men help him into a rocking chair, hoping to maintain some semblance of his usual image. He never expected that the moment she walked in, she would wear a look of disgust.

Mr. Jiu’s face instantly darkened.

Seeing this, one of his men immediately snapped at her.

"You lot shouldn’t be so aggressive all the time. Be careful you don’t frighten the young lady."

Every one of the men who followed Mr. Jiu knew he had a weakness for beautiful women.

Hearing Mr. Jiu’s rebuke, they immediately took the hint.

The way they looked at Xu Wenwan changed instantly.

’This Xu Wenwan really is a looker. If you didn’t know better, you’d think she was some well-bred lady from a rich family! But judging by her words and behavior, she’s no high-society lady. She’s more like one of those girls from the red-light district—a real siren.’

The men’s gazes toward Xu Wenwan grew more lecherous, completely unafraid that she might take offense.

They had already investigated her background thoroughly.

She was the daughter of the Qingshan Team’s village chief. While her father had some influence, it was limited to the Qingshan Team. Here in the County Town, the title "village chief" didn’t mean much.

Besides, what Xu Wenwan was doing—speculation and profiteering—was illegal. As long as they played their cards right, how hard could it be to control one person?

"I hear you’re the one who makes the facial soap?"
