Inferior by Nature

The strings are broken, and the performance is doomed to be unable to continue.

Although none of the people present were listening to my performance seriously, I got up immediately and apologized to everyone.

Jin Chenyu raised his arm, waved it at me casually, and said, "Forget it, you go back first."

I breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and started to pack the piano case.During this period, I could always feel a stare staring at me, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

"Then I will take my leave first, everyone have a good meal."

When I turned around, the girl had put on her clothes and returned to the dining table, and the scrutiny disappeared.

On the way back, Chen Qiao asked me how the guests were doing.

The skull tattoo wearing Bai Wugou flashed in his mind, the ultimate horror aesthetics made people shuddering and impressive.

"I hope we don't see each other again," I said.

However, things backfired. The next day after teaching the young master, Jin Chenyu summoned me again.

He sat on a red velvet throne, propped his chin, and had a friendly smile on his lips that made my hair stand on end.

"Mr. Sakamoto was very satisfied with yesterday's performance." He winked, and Steward Feng stepped forward to hand me a check, "This is a reward, I hope you can accept it, Mr. Ji."

I glanced at the amount above, and was a little frightened, and quickly refused: "You don't need to give me any more money, these are what I should do."

Jin Chenyu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and gave him a silent look. Butler Feng took back the check and presented another one.When I saw it, the amount was even bigger, with six figures in full.

I was a little frightened and didn't understand what Jinchenyu meant.

"Eldest son, you..."

"To be honest, I have an unfeeling request. Through yesterday's performance, Mr. Sakamoto admired you, Mr. Ji, and thought you were the perfect candidate to carry his works." Jin Chenyu bluntly said the incredible request, " There was a business relationship between Union Group and Mr. Sakamoto before, and they are negotiating these two days. If you, Mr. Ji, agree to become the carrier of Mr. Sakamoto's works, not only will the money belong to you, but Mr. Sakamoto will also agree to a new cooperation with Union Group. Only increase the price by 13%. I don't know what Teacher Ji wants?"

Carrier...that is, making me a "canvas" for Sakamoto to tattoo on like that girl last night?

Six figures, buy me a skin.The hairs on the back of the neck stand upright, which is indescribably weird.

The words of refusal came to his lips, but the pair of Shangjinchenyu's eyes, which seemed to see through everything and were sure of winning everything, swallowed them all back.

How could I have thought I could say no?

This is obviously a gift before a soldier.Of course everyone is happy if I accept the check, but if I don't accept it, he will have many ways to get me to obediently agree to donate my skin.

What is coercion?Killing someone silently on the island is a simple matter.

Thinking of Ami who died in the dungeon, my tongue stiffened, facing Jin Chenyu who was smiling like a tiger, I was even more unable to say the words of rejection.

"I know this request is a bit too much, and I can understand that Teacher Ji can't make a decision all at once." Jin Chenyu held up the black tea cup in front of him with a reasonable look.

Although I don't know how big their business is, but Jin Feisheng participated in the negotiation last night and only talked about 4 points. It can't be as simple as several million.Now as long as I nod my head and dedicate myself, the other side will easily drop 3 points. Jin Chenyu said "understand", but he didn't give me the option to refuse at all.

"It's indeed...a bit sudden." I said dryly, and I already had a hunch in my heart that I couldn't push this matter away.

"Mr. Sakamoto will only stay for four days. I hope Mr. Ji can make a decision after I drink this cup of tea."

On the surface, Jinchenyu is good at business and quantity, but in fact it is intimidating and coercive, and it is hypocritical.

Eyes lowered, fingers tightened into fists on knees.

Now people are Daozu, and I am fish.Ran Qingzhuang and I are holding each other in Jin Chenyu's hands, and we can't easily offend him. Besides, I still have my mother and younger sister. If I refuse, Jin Chenyu will blame me. If my family is hurt, then I...then I will never rest in peace.

"I have always entrusted Kong Tan to be responsible for the business with Mr. Sakamoto. In this way, if Mr. Ji agrees today, I will hand over the future business to the youngest. He will be very happy when he finds out, and he will treat you as well." It will be different. What do you think?"

Maybe it was because I didn't make a sound for a long time, Jin Chenyu made another move, which hit my dead point.

I closed my eyes, feeling that the "ceremony" part was over, and if I didn't nod, the other party was about to join the "soldier".

After thinking over and over again, I took the check from Butler Feng and put it in my pocket. I compromised and said, "I will obey the eldest son's orders."

Jin Chenyu put down his teacup in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for not embarrassing me. I'll let someone notify Mr. Sakamoto."

Afterwards, he asked Butler Feng to take me down to take a shower and change clothes, and wait for Mr. Sakamoto to arrive.

After taking a bath in a pool that can accommodate four or five people, I had my hair blown and my nails cut. After everything was done, everyone left the room, leaving me alone in a soft silk nightgown, sitting Waiting by the bed.

Those who didn't know thought I was going to pick up a guest.

I raised my sleeves and smelled my body. There were a lot of roses in the pool just now. This is the first time I have seen roses bathed in places other than TV dramas.There is no fragrance of flowers, only a very faint, plant-like fragrance.

The room is about [-] square meters, and it is also in the retro European style consistent with the castle as a whole. In addition to having an oversized bathroom, the bed is also oversized. It is not a big problem for four adults to lie side by side on it.

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was still no movement outside the door. I gradually felt tired, so I lay down on the bed, a little drowsy.

I fell asleep unknowingly, and when I woke up again when I heard the sound of the door opening, I was lying on my side with my back facing the direction of the door.

Undisguised footsteps came from behind me, and I was about to turn around to look at it when someone grabbed my wrist from behind and pulled me up vigorously.

I turned around in horror, and saw Ran Qingzhuang's furious face.His brows are sharp and his pupils are black and cold.

Since I met him again, he has always been angry and never smiled when he saw me, but this time the anger was different from any previous one.

In the past, he just burned himself, making people afraid to approach him for fear of being burned by him, but this time he seemed to want to burn the fire on me, and burn me to ashes together.

"Go and tell Jinchenyu, you quit. I don't need you to do anything for me, I can handle my affairs by myself, don't meddle in my own business." He pulled my wrist, and his tone of voice was gnashing his teeth, obviously clearly understood I got the news in vain, knowing that I will "dedicate myself" to seek wealth for him.

I propped my other elbow on the bed, looked up at him, and wanted to withdraw my hand, but he pinched it even tighter.

The pain spread from the place he was holding, I didn't dare to struggle anymore, and said: "I promised everything, if I change my words again, the young master will be angry."

"I'll negotiate with him, you don't have to worry about the rest." Ran Qingzhuang looked determined not to accept my favor.

However, if I refuse now, not only I, but Ran Qingzhuang will probably offend Jin Chenyu severely.

Jin Chenyu was already vicious, and he didn't trust Ran Qingzhuang enough. If he offended him now, he might not get angry immediately, but it's hard to say whether he will seize the opportunity to make use of it in the future.

All in all, denial was out of the question.

From the moment Sakamoto took a fancy to my piece of "cloth", I was destined to be unable to refuse.

"Also... not only for you, the eldest son also gave me a lot of money." I whispered.

The pain suddenly increased, and the bones seemed to be pinched and broken.

I frowned in pain, and exhaled in pain: "It hurts..."

"It hurts? You hurt at this point?" Ran Qingzhuang threw his hand back to me, and said coldly, "Do you know who Sakamoto Shinyuan is? It's never been so easy to make his canvas. Many people stopped halfway because they couldn't bear the pain that lasted more than ten hours, and they were burned to death by him. He would rather find another candidate than ask for an imperfect work. Ji Ning, you are so When you love money, it always depends on whether you have the life to spend the money, right?"

Ran Qingzhuang's words shocked me. I didn't do much research on tattoos before. I always thought that it could be done in two to three hours. Anesthetics would be applied to the surface of the skin, and the last few strokes would hurt.But it seems... I was naive.

"Does it hurt?" I asked a little nervously.

Ran Qingzhuang was going to make me laugh angrily: "What? Except for money, you don't care about anything else, do you?"

I was so hurt by his stabbing, I lowered my eyes, tidied up the torn nightgown in a disguised way, and fastened the belt again.

"Anyway, it's too late to say this now, I'll make it through no matter what." I told him, and I also told myself.

Ran Qingzhuang stopped talking, stood in front of me for a while, turned around and strode away without looking back.

The moment I heard the sound of the door opening, I raised my head, and only had time to witness a corner of his coat disappearing through the gradually closing door.

I let out a long sigh and couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.About 15 minutes later, someone finally came outside and took me to see Sakamoto.

I don't know if there was an oriental-style bedroom in the castle, or if the Jin family redecorated it to please Sakamoto.The room the maid took me into turned out to be a Japanese room with tatami mats.

There is only a low black lacquered table in the room, and various instruments and paints are neatly placed on the table.Sakamoto changed into a black kimono, which made his thin face more serious and cold, while the bob-haired girl was still dressed in regular clothes, standing behind him on the right side.

To my surprise, Ran Qingzhuang was also present.

He stood in front of Sakamoto, chatting with the other party in a low voice, nodding his head in response.Hearing the movement, he glanced back at me briefly, then turned his gaze back as if nothing had happened, and continued to communicate with Sakamoto.

"Go." Seeing me coming, Sakamoto raised his chin at Ran Qingzhuang and pointed in the direction.

Ran Qingzhuang walked past me without squinting, and sat down beside the black table, with one knee bent and the other bent horizontally at will, looking like a big horse with a golden knife.

"I'm very glad that you are willing to be my canvas and carry my beautiful works. Once the needle falls, I will not stop, so I have to work hard for you to endure for about ten hours." Sakamoto came to me and stretched out his hand to untie the strap of my nightgown .

I grabbed it subconsciously, glanced at Ran Qingzhuang whose back was facing me, and finally let go of it a little bit.

I'm like a piece of pork belly waiting to be cooked...

The nightgown was piled up to my elbows, and I slightly covered my lower body. Sakamoto observed my skin, nodded with satisfaction, and asked me to turn around.

I obediently turned around, showing my back.The cold fingertips landed on my skin without warning, like a thunderbolt, which made me shiver uncontrollably.

"Beauty, it's so beautiful, I can't remember how long it's been since I met your flawless skin." Sakamoto excitedly shouted to the girl beside him, "Saxi, quickly get out my painting."

The bob-haired girl walked to a sliding door and gently pulled it open, revealing a huge metal safe inside.After pressing the password, the safe opened smoothly. She took out a long tube, pulled off the cover, poured out a roll of something, and stuffed the long tube back.

"Okay, just go there and kneel down, and just show me your back." The direction Sakamoto pointed was exactly where Ran Qingzhuang was.

I don't know why, I looked at him blankly and didn't move.

"I need a support to keep you in place so that you won't move around in the end. Mr. Jin recommended Ran, saying that he can make you feel at ease." Sakamoto took the roll of drawing paper from the girl and unfolded it carefully, his eyes full of tears. Obsessed, "If you are dissatisfied and don't like men, I can ask Sahi to do it for you."

Ran Qingzhuang heard the words and looked over.

I shivered, waved my hands repeatedly and refused, and said, "No, no, it's just him. I like men, and men are fine."
