4336: The Other Side 305

The Other Side 305

The actor suddenly smiled at this. "To an ordinary person, my life is extraordinary. But to Young Master Gong, yes, I am indeed ordinary."2

"You have a steady job, a modest house, a car, an ordinary family. At the very least, you won't get too deeply involved with the cruelty of the world." Gong Jie smiled haughtily. "Even if I were not Gong Jie, I am bound to be extraordinary. Perhaps I'd be at least as good as Mu Yazhe."

"That might not be the case. Everything you have now, other than yourself, is given to you by the Gong family."

"That's not wrong." Gong Jie merely smirked. "As far as Mu Yazhe is concerned, doesn't a part of what he has also come from the Mu family?"

The actor was stumped for a moment and looked embarrassed. "That's not entirely untrue."

"I won't be defeated by him!" Gong Jie was clearly not impressed by his brother-in-law.

Hua Jin scratched his cheek and teased, "The smell of gunpowder seems to be very strong. I have the impression that the two of you get along harmoniously?"

"Peaceful coexistence? Perhaps in the next life." Gong Jie was not impressed by Mu Yazhe. If not for Yun Shishi, they might have been destined to be mortal enemies for the rest of their lives.

"How did we end up talking about this?" The actor suddenly realized. What an exaggeration. Their conversation had ended up here because of a pot of Da Hong Pao.

"So?" Gong Jie leered at him. "When were you going to give it to me?"

"What?"

Gong Jie's remark seemed to come out of nowhere and the actor was baffled.

The man leaned closer to him, playfully enunciating each word. "Five… million."

"…"

The actor looked defensive. "You really want me to pay you!?"

"I'm serious."

"…"

The actor rolled his eyes and immediately made a show of patting his pockets. Then, he put on a helpless look. "Oh, look, I don't have much money left. Young Master Gong, why don't I hand myself over to you?"

"Paying with your body?"

"… that's one way to look at it."

Gong Jie laughed at that. When Hua Jin saw that the man had laughed, he framed his face in his hands and gave a sweet smile.

"Anyway, at a conservative estimate, I think I'm easily worth five million. Look, why don't you take me as payment?"

"Done deal."

The actor looked surprised when Gong Jie said that. "I'd never have guessed. Do you like men?"

"I'm not interested in men." Pausing, Gong Jie gave him a meaningful look. "But I am interested in you."

The actor's jaw dropped when he heard this. He could not react! He was only joking and wanted to get out of paying the five million. But now it seemed he'd fallen into the ditch he'd dug himself? At this point, he did not know how to continue!

"Why? Are you regretting it?"

The actor was speechless. He stood up awkwardly and was about to say something when the plane suddenly jolted and shook violently. Caught off-guard, he lost his footing and fell on Gong Jie.

The plane was caught in air currents, and the ride became bumpy. Gong Jie held him in place with one strong arm. The actor gripped the corner of his Gong Jie's shirt tightly to keep his balance. During the jolting, he was even pressed up against Gong Jie's chest and heard his strong heartbeat.
