It's not rare for advertisers to join the gogo community. Whether an app is popular or not, it will have splash screen ads. However, just as goi Technology Company finished setting the time to launch Party A ads, Fenghe from the Yi family came to Yi Xianqi. They asked to launch Fenghe Mall ads first.

"They said that if the advertiser is Yida, it will definitely stir up another online controversy. They asked our first batch of ads must be Fenghe Mall… the negotiation took longer, so I got off work a bit late.”

Yi Xianqi took off her scarf and draped it over the back of the chair. After sitting down, she first pulled Ma Gu'er's hand, felt her body temperature, and then ordered a cup of hot tea.

"Yida?"

Zhou Yun gave Yi Xianqi a strange look.

Ma Gu'er winked at Zhou Yun and interrupted, "Isn't this blatantly trying to tie Gogo to them? Once you're theirs, you're part of the Yi family..."

While speaking, she moved her hand under the table. She lifted Yi Xianqi’s clothes and slipped inside. Her cold fingers touched warm skin. She felt her hand come alive. Then she mocked, “…how interesting.”

“The previous public opinion must have troubled their PR…” Zhou Yun glanced at the intimate interaction between the two, who seemed to be in the honeymoon phase, chuckled twice, and continued, “…Can those people on the internet really make waves? They just shout slogans. Why would the Yi family be afraid?”

“…Such a big business, mostly malls. If public anger rises, they may earn nothing for days. That can lose billions…” Ma Gu’er curled her fingers and scratched Yi Xianqi’s stomach. She threw the words back, “What do you think?”

"I don't know." Yi Xianqi pushed the hot tea that had been served in front of Ma Gu'er and added, "I have never taken over the Yi family's business and don't know the ins and outs of it."

Ma Gu'er and Zhou Yun exchanged a glance.

Zhou Yun leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "So you really didn't know that Yida was the Yi family's rival? You didn’t take their ad on purpose?”

Yi Xianqi looked up at Zhou Yun, seemingly surprised: "You all know about this?"

"Anyone who has ever eaten melons about wealthy families should know this."

Zhou Yun lowered her voice again and again: "The Yi family's Fenghe and the Chen family's Yida are sworn enemies, like enemies for three lifetimes. Back then, when the elder sister of the Chen family's head broke up with the second sister of the Yi family, it caused a huge uproar. There were death threats, gunshots, and intimidation. In the end, the Chen family’s sister was forced to jump from the Yi family building. The lawsuit dragged on for two and a half years. The Yi family’s second sister ended up serving twenty years in prison. When she came out, she was emaciated to the point of looking like a dried-up corpse. Even now, she’s still barely hanging on, half-dead.”

"Yi Anran's mother's mother...that is, your great-grandmother, was so angry that her blood pressure spiked. It's just a rumor, a rumor, that because of this incident, your great-grandmother developed a heart condition and can't handle any stress..."

“Mainly at that time your grandmother, Yi Xunchun, was working with Chen boss Chen Shanfu. They started their business together. Because of this, they split shares and went their separate ways. One founded Fenghe, the other founded Yida.”

Zhou Yun licked her lips, then sighed, "...No wealthy family gossip in Fujing has more interesting gossip than the Yi family. The Yi family is really open-minded about women and women's affairs...No wonder they say the head of the Yi family must be a woman...The older generation is just crazy about women..."

Same-sex marriage is not legal in today's society; but not explicitly prohibited, and of course, it's not widely promoted. Same-sex relationships are common in wealthy families, but a whole family like this is rare.

Ma Gu’er heard this from Yi Anran before.

Ma Gu’er added, “…Yi family women rule comes from ancestors. They think daughters are grown by women’s blood. So daughters have the strongest blood ties. Only when women give birth to women, then to women again, this blood can stay forever. In their family, they value girls over boys. So women with women are not controlled much…”

“Sounds like some ethnic minority tradition.” Yi Xianqi said.

"I don't know, but I heard they value blood too much. Rich family businesses all have this problem…”

Ma Gu'er raised her eyebrows slightly: "...Those older sisters in the Yi family all had children early...you understand? It means to have children early and cultivate heirs early."

She looked at Yi Xianqi and offered a perfunctory consolation: "So there's a reason why you're not well-liked by Yi Anran; in her family, blood ties come first."

"Then why doesn't Yi Anran have a child herself?" Zhou Yun wondered. "Nowadays, IVF allows you to choose genes and gender, so having a smart daughter would be great, wouldn't it?"

"How would I know? Maybe she's afraid of pain..." Ma Gu'er blinked, took a sip of tea, frowned, and changed the subject, "This tea doesn't taste good, let’s not come here next time.”

Yi Xianqi took the teacup from her hand and replaced it with her own sweet soup, "Try this."

"Aiyo, young people are so thoughtful and considerate."

Zhou Yun bit the edge of her teacup, glancing at the two of them sticking together. She turned to Yi Xianqi and raised her chin, "Young Master Yi, how about we take a group photo later? Let me ride on your coattails. These days, it's hard to get a movie role without friends. Please help me out."

"Better not, I'm afraid you'll really be out of work after we take a photo together," Yi Xianqi said with a smile, politely declining Zhou Yun's offer.

Zhou Yun sighed, not embarrassed at all, and joked, "What do you mean? Is the Yi family really giving you small shoes to wear?”

"No."

Yi Xianqi said no, but didn't say anything more.

Ma Gu'er tapped her fingers on Zhou Yun's waist, her nails gently scratching. Yi Xianqi didn't even flinch, calmly and naturally engaging in a game of tai chi* with Zhou Yun. In the end, she couldn't resist Zhou Yun's "enthusiasm" and took a photo together.

*waste time/beat around the bush/dodge and deflect

“Done, pre-made. I’ll let you know when it’s posted.” Zhou Yun looked at her phone, it was already past ten. She finished her ice wine, “Okay, I need to go. My lover is coming to pick me. See you later.”

Ma Gu'er waved. As soon as she left, Ma Gu'er fell into Yi Xianqi's arms, wrapped her arms around her waist, and rubbed her face against her chest. "You're quite the actor. Didn't you go to the Yi family's gathering a couple of days ago? And now you're saying they're giving you small shoes?"

"I just don't want to cause trouble for your friend."

Yi Xianqi placed her palm on Ma Gu'er's head, "After all, her status isn't high enough to climb up to the Yi family..."

Yi Xianqi's tone was strangely soft.

Ma Gu'er looked up, and Yi Xianqi happened to be looking down as well. Her expression was natural as she continued, "...The entertainment industry is so tough, and my mother doesn't like me. If I cause trouble for your friend, I won't be able to help her then..."

“That’s true.” Ma Gu’er stood up, rubbing the back of her neck. “I’m a little tired, let’s go back… “… right, did you know the Yi family Foundation gives two million pocket money every month?”

Yi Xianqi shook her clothes, looked up in confusion, and said, "I don't know."

“Then ask the Yi family Foundation next time. I remember the chairman is… Chairman Yi Xunchun…” Ma Gu’er thought, “…but small things like this, she should let her lover manage, Jiang Zhou.”

Yi Xianqi asked casually, “She values her lover that much?”

"People are the same. Who knows what's going on in relationships? But Jiang Zhou used to work in trusts. She's done a great job managing Yi Xunchun's foundation all these years. The Yi family seems quite satisfied with her."

The "Yi family" refers to Yi Anran. After all, if this rebellious literary youth, Yi Anran, is satisfied, then others shouldn't have any complaints either.

"...Yi Xunchun is already in her sixties, it's not impossible that her mind is a little unclear."

Ma Gu'er linked arms with Yi Xianqi, "This Jiang Zhou is just a financial manager after all. She's about the same age as your mother, and I heard she looks gentle and delicate. Even your grandmother, a staunchly straight woman, could be bent. She must be a hardworking and cunning character..."

"Right..."

As soon as the shop door opened, a flurry of snowflakes rushed in. Ma Gu'er exhaled a puff of white breath. With only the two of them present, the Yi family's secret slipped out just like that: "...This Jiang Zhou and your aunt's girlfriend are good friends."

Yi Xianqi's aunt, Yi Zhiyu, is Yi Anran's older sister and the eldest daughter of Fenghe Group. She will be forty-four years old after the New Year.

Yi Xianqi took Ma Gu'er's hand and put it in her pocket to warm it. She paused for a moment before replying, "Then they must have a very good relationship."

Ma Gu'er raised her hand and curled her eyelashes, the snowflakes that had landed on them flying away from her fingertips. She chuckled, "Who knows?"

They chatted as they got into the car. As soon as the heater was turned on, Ma Gu'er took off her coat and wiped the snow off her hair with a tissue. Yi Xianqi slowly reversed the car. By the time they were on the road, Ma Gu'er had already opened her phone and was happily browsing the W community.

"Gold prices have fallen, should we buy some?"

Yi Xianqi pressed her fingers on the steering wheel, not looking at Ma Gu'er, and suggested, "Let's wait until the company's dividends are distributed at the end of the month before buying. We paid off the loan this month, so we don't have much money.”

"Your app has a lot of users, so how come you only make so little money? How do you share profits with the company?"

Ma Gu'er sighed, tossed aside her phone, and reached out to rub and squeeze Yi Xianqi's leg, her voice softening: "Did you remember what I just told you? Next time at the family gathering, remember to ask about it. Getting two million for free? In two months, we can finish the house loan…”

Yi Xianqi said with difficulty, "I am not of the Yi family bloodline."

"What's two million to them..." Ma Gu’er leaned close and coaxed, “I know you are young, thin-skinned. Then first go greet Jiang Zhou. Both outsiders of Yi family. You should have many topics…”

Yi Xianqi remained silent, seemingly hesitant.

“You know what life I had before. My bags, cars, houses, your mom never…”

Ma Gu'er used her tried-and-tested trick again, and Yi Xianqi gave in before she could finish speaking, saying, "I understand."

Ma Gu'er was satisfied. She withdrew her hand and took out her phone again. "I want to buy a pure gold ornament... melt it to resemble the two of us, and find a designer to create a design... We'll put it in our room, what do you think? It'll be so cute..."

The wipers swiped the snow on the windshield aside, leaving faint water streaks on the glass. The snow in front of her was getting heavier and heavier, and Yi Xianqi's driving speed was getting slower and slower.

Finally, after she hummed in agreement, Ma Gu'er hugged her again, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and as she pulled back, she turned on some music. In high spirits, she mimicked a few dance moves and even hummed a couple of lines, pulling Yi Xianqi to smile again before finally finishing.

Without spending money, where does the motivation to make money come from?

After squandering Yi Xianqi's savings, Ma Gu'er pulled her onto the bed and continued to exploit her stamina.

The first snow in Fujing fell like cotton wool, swirling and fluttering for several days, making it impossible for cars to travel. Yi Xianqi had been taking the subway to work for days on end. Even though she was dressed warmly, her old illness was not easy to heal. The frostbite on her ears hadn't improved and even got red and swollen.

“Is your ear still not better?

Ma Gu’er’s tiger teeth touched Yi Xianqi’s ear and bit like grinding.

Only the ears that itched unbearably could satisfy Ma Gu'er's fetish, after all only pain could stop the itch.

The piercing itch was replaced by pain. Yi Xianqi silently let out a long breath, her fingers curled up, disrupting Ma Gu’er’s tangled, muffled tone.

Ma Gu’er wrapped her arms and held Yi Xianqi tight. Her waist pressed down, her butt lifted up in response. She even sat lower, taking the lead to “wolf it down.”

“What… why so forceful…”

Yi Xianqi tilted her head, “My ear hurts.”

Ma Gu’er went to bite that lying mouth and sneered, “Clearly, you're already soaked…”

Yi Xianqi didn’t speak and buried herself in her task.

After messing with her ears, Ma Gu'er went to mess with other places. Her hands and feet were not very honest. She pinched here and stepped on there. However much force Yi Xianqi used inside her, she returned the same outside. She didn’t want to lose.

After one round of passionate love, Yi Xianqi’s body was full of red marks and bite marks. She looked more like the one who was ‘bullied’.
