Chapter 209

Inside Miaoyan Pavilion, the situation was completely different from Lin Meng’s previous visits.

Before, even though there were customers, there were usually only a dozen or so. But now, the inside was packed to the brim, with several employees frantically tending to the crowd. From their conversations, it was clear that almost everyone was here for the Beauty Liquid, alongside a few asking about the Vaginal Moisturizing Cream.

Lin Meng completely believed what Zhu Yan had told him last time. It seemed the reputation of the Beauty Liquid had thoroughly spread throughout the county, and demand was completely outstripping supply.

Five minutes later, Lin Meng finally squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the door of Zhu Yan’s office.

"You want five bottles of Beauty Liquid? I’m very sorry, but due to insufficient stock, we have a strict limit of one bottle per person.

"Of course the Vaginal Moisturizing Cream is real. We’ve verified the results ourselves. We guarantee its efficacy; there is absolutely no exaggeration.

"Of course I remember. We’ve set aside the Beauty Liquid you ordered!"

Before he even went in, he could hear Zhu Yan’s voice continuously drifting out. It sounded like she was on the phone, and with more than just one person.

Lin Meng pushed the door open and went in, only to see Zhu Yan holding a phone in each hand, with two more resting on her desk.

Seeing Lin Meng enter, joy lit up Zhu Yan’s face. She immediately hung up the calls, walked over, and hugged his arm. "My sweet brother, what brings you here?"

Lin Meng chuckled. "I came to the county for some errands and dropped by to take a look. Sister Yan, your shop’s business is really booming right now!"

Zhu Yan shot him a flirtatious wink. "Isn’t it all thanks to you? These people are all here to order the Beauty Liquid and the Vaginal Moisturizing Cream."

Lin Meng asked curiously, "How are the sales for the Vaginal Moisturizing Cream right now?"

"Very good. Not long after it launched, it attracted a lot of female buyers. Coupled with its remarkable effects, its reputation is almost catching up to the Beauty Liquid." As Zhu Yan spoke, she pressed her beautiful leg tightly against Lin Meng’s crotch. In a seductive voice, she murmured, "Furthermore, I tried it out myself. Now, it’s all pink and tender down there, and much tighter too. Do you want to give it a try?"

Lin Meng swallowed hard. Just as he was about to speak, a phone next to them rang again.

Zhu Yan hastily picked it up. "Mhm, okay, I know. I guarantee I’ll save it for you." Hanging up, Zhu Yan looked deeply disappointed. "My sweet brother, a major client is coming over soon. It looks like we won’t have time for you to try it today. Next time, your big sister is going to suck you dry!"

Lin Meng had just vented his frustrations with Liu Yun, so his desires weren’t particularly strong. "Then we’ll wait for next time. Sister Yan, focus on your business first. By the way, is Sister Lingshan not here?"

Zhu Yan replied casually, "Her? She went to discuss some partnerships. She’ll probably be busy for quite a few days."

"I see." Lin Meng nodded in understanding. He hadn’t asked about this on the phone earlier, assuming she was here too.

Afterward, Lin Meng chatted with Zhu Yan for another minute. However, because she was simply too busy—with phone calls coming in one after another—he said his goodbyes and left.

Stepping out of Miaoyan Pavilion, Lin Meng felt in very good spirits. Whether it was the Beauty Liquid or the Vaginal Moisturizing Cream, the market feedback was incredibly enthusiastic.

And this was just the beginning.

If he could increase production speed and sell these two products nationwide, the resulting profits would be astronomical. It seemed he needed to accelerate the cultivation of the medicinal herbs. Only when the herbs were ready could he begin building a factory. Of course, he could also purchase herbs from outside, but that would make the process overly complicated, and he would inevitably run into a lot of trouble along the way. Taking it step by step and relying on his own development was perfectly fine.

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Meng’s phone suddenly rang.

He took it out. Seeing the caller ID on the screen, Lin Meng’s eyelid twitched fiercely. It was actually Zhou Xinlan calling. He didn’t even need to think; this woman definitely wasn’t calling with good news.

"Hello, Aunt Zhou, is something the matter?" Lin Meng answered the call, his feelings complicated.

"Xiaomeng, it’s been a long time since your last treatment. By my calculations, it’s time for the second round," Zhou Xinlan’s charmingly coquettish voice drifted over the line.

"Alright then, I’ll go to the hospital to find you later." Lin Meng knew he had absolutely no choice but to agree.

Who would have thought Zhou Xinlan would say, "No need to come to the hospital. I’ll send you my home address; just come directly to my house."

"To your house?" Lin Meng froze, asking reflexively.

"That’s right. I’m giving you one hour. If you can’t make it by then, don’t blame Aunt Zhou for not being polite~" Zhou Xinlan let out an airy little laugh, then directly hung up the phone.

"What exactly is this woman trying to do?" Lin Meng stood rooted to the spot, completely unable to remain calm.

Although Zhou Xinlan was very beautiful and her figure was extremely enticing, he always felt that she was somewhat insane. She seemed to harbor a sickly, obsessive love for his father. But because she couldn’t have him in the end, that obsession had twisted into hatred. Therefore, she was treating him as a substitute for his father. Everything she did was for revenge and to satisfy her own twisted psychology.

But as luck would have it, she held leverage over him, forcing him to do her bidding.

"I’ll go over and see what’s up first. Hopefully, she doesn’t go too far," Lin Meng sighed. Unable to think of any other solution, he hailed a cab and headed to the address Zhou Xinlan had sent.

Central Residences. This was the residential complex where Zhou Xinlan lived.

After arriving, Lin Meng found her floor and knocked gently on the door. The next moment, accompanied by Zhou Xinlan’s languid voice saying "Coming," the door opened from the inside.

Zhou Xinlan appeared before him, wearing a translucent, dark-ink lace nightgown. One strap of her nightgown had slipped down to the crook of her elbow. Her perfectly round, half-exposed breasts looked like they were about to burst through the confines of the lace, and the faint pink of her areolas was subtly visible. A head of curly hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the tips brushing right past her peaks. It was temptation pushed to the absolute extreme.

GULP!

Even though Lin Meng felt a deep-seated dread toward this woman, seeing her looking so exquisitely enchanting, he couldn’t help but secretly swallow hard.

Zhou Xinlan sized Lin Meng up, the corners of her lips curling slightly. Her voice carried a honeyed tremble. "Little guy, you got here quite fast. I haven’t been out of the shower for long. What’s the matter? It’s been a while since we last saw each other—did you miss your Aunt Zhou?"

Lin Meng cleared his throat lightly. "Well, Aunt Zhou, I happened to be running errands in the county. When I got your call, I came straight over."

"How unromantic," Zhou Xinlan rolled her eyes at his answer and turned to walk inside. "Come in first. Remember to lock the door behind you."

Lin Meng stepped into the apartment and locked the heavy front door from the inside before turning to look at Zhou Xinlan, who was already seated on the sofa.

Seeing his gaze drift over, Zhou Xinlan crossed her legs, revealing a highly aggressive smile. "What are you staring blankly for? Hurry up and take your pants off."
