Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

Xu Huanshan's matter won't happen so quickly, mainly because Yang Ke also wants Mrs. Li to set Gu Jia up.

Gu Jia must have some wealth, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to acquire Mrs. Li's tea plantation.

Speaking of Gu Jia, although she is jokingly called one of the best wives in the world, she actually has quite a few problems.

She discovered numerous problems with the tea factory, including book losses, altered valuation reports, expired production licenses, and ongoing legal proceedings. Despite these issues, she didn't abandon the tea factory; instead, she took on all the responsibilities herself.

Why didn't she understand these problems before taking over? Ultimately, it's because she was too young.

One reason is that she didn't see through these wives, and another reason is that she made this decision after discovering Xu Huanshan's infidelity and realizing that men can't be relied on.

What he wanted to do was to bring these things forward, so that Gu Jia would be left helpless and have no choice but to turn to him for help.

After Wang Yuting hinted to Mrs. Li, Yang Ke stopped paying attention to Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan.

Gu Jia invited Yang Ke to her house for a meal to express her gratitude, but Yang Ke politely declined, mainly because it's best to keep his contributions hidden.

If you have too much contact with her, Gu Jia will take these things for granted in the future, and the probability of her refusing to speak up will be even greater.

"Mrs. Yu?"

That day, Yang Ke was just about to go upstairs when he saw Mrs. Yu, who was in a bad mood.

Although Mrs. Yu is a minor actress with little say in the family, Mr. Yu is truly wealthy. She had always wanted to get along well with her stepson, but today she was bullied by him, which made her sad and brought her here.

"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence!"

Unexpectedly, she ran into Yang Ke, who was also on his way home. Upon seeing Yang Ke, she naturally greeted him shyly.

"Well, Mrs. Yu, what is this..."

Yang Ke also looked at Mrs. Yu's arm and asked.

"Yes, I got hurt by accident."

Mrs. Yu would naturally not say that she was bullied by her stepson, after all, who would go around telling others about family discord?

"Oh, is that so? I have some liniment at home, made from very good medicinal herbs. Why don't you come with me, Mrs. Yu, and I'll get it for you. You'll be better by the next day."

Yang Ke didn't expose her after hearing this, but instead invited Mrs. Yu to his home to get the medicinal wine.

"I see. Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Wang."

Mrs. Yu, upon hearing that she would be better the next day, naturally did not refuse.

The main problem is that if this injury drags on, the whole Junyue Mansion will find out, which will make her even more embarrassed.

As Yu's second wife, she already didn't have much status in the wives' circle. If this matter is exposed, she probably won't be able to attend gatherings anymore.

Even if they come, they'll probably get the same treatment as Gu Jia—their photos will be cut.

"Isn't Mrs. Wang home?"

The two chatted as they arrived at Yang Ke's house. Seeing that Wang Yuting wasn't there, Mrs. Yu asked her about it.

"She went on a trip abroad with my son these past few days."

Yang Ke needed to sort out Gu Jia's matter recently, so he naturally sent Wang Yuting away for a while.

Anyway, they own more than one house in Shanghai, so Wang Yuting naturally had no objections.

"Mrs. Yu, I see you have quite a few wounds. How about I clean them for you? Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if people saw them when you went out."

Yang Ke also extended an invitation, which was also a way of testing Mrs. Yu's feelings.

If they refuse, then we'll have to wait a bit longer.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."

Seeing Yang Ke's inexplicable look, Mrs. Yu lowered her head and agreed.

The two entered the master bedroom together, and Yang Ke naturally went all out with his act, actually taking out the medicinal wine to apply to Mrs. Yu's body.

"Come, Mrs. Yu, lie down here."

Yang Ke invited Mrs. Yu to the guest room, then had her lie down so he could apply the medicine.

Since Mrs. Yu has come, she must have already thought it through.

Anyway, given what President Wang has done, even if there's something going on, with Yang Ke's status, would he tell anyone?

As a minor celebrity who managed to marry into a wealthy family, Mrs. Yu is certainly not a naive and innocent girl; on the contrary, she has many tricks up her sleeve.

"Mrs. Yu, you might need to lift your clothes up a little, otherwise the medicine won't be able to be applied."

Yang Ke continued to probe, or rather, he made it clear, since he hadn't expected anyone to agree to apply the medicine like this.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang."

Mrs. Yu was also very decisive.

We're all adults, what's the point of hiding anything? So...

Three hours later...

"Congratulations, host, for completing the 'Old Wang Next Door' achievement. Reward: Wall Climbing Skill."

That's outrageous, utterly outrageous.

Yang Ke felt that the system was subtly criticizing him, and he even had evidence to back it up.

Does Yang Ke, the old man next door, really need the skill of climbing walls? That's absurd.

"Brother Wang, you're amazing."

The affirmation came from his wife.

"Well, it's alright. What are your plans for the future?"

Yang Ke was very honest during his post-coital period and went straight to asking Mrs. Yu about her plans.

If I just want to make a quick buck and leave, then I don't care.

If she has other ideas, then he can still put together a group of wives and girlfriends in the future. Yang Ke believes that there will definitely be a big reward for that.

"It depends on what Brother Wang decides for me. Anyway, I don't have any objections."

Mrs. Yu leaned against Yang Ke and started drawing circles.

"Use this opportunity with your stepson to get a divorce from your husband, Mr. Yu."

"A mere 20 yuan a month for living expenses, how can you manage to survive?"

"I'll arrange a house for you then. As long as it's not too outrageous, it's fine with me."

Yang Ke also expressed his opinion: if Mrs. Yu is not happy, then so be it.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mrs. Yu has no objections either.

Mr. Yu has cheated on his wife, which is why she lay down as soon as the topic came up today.

Since things have come to this, she might as well just change her investment target, since Yang Ke's wealth is several times that of Mr. Yu.

"Okay, good girl. Go and handle it. I don't need to be so generous as to fool you."

“If I give you the house and money now, Lao Yu can probably find out. But after you get divorced, he probably won’t investigate further. I’ll make arrangements then.”

Yang Ke also shared his opinion.

"Well, he only comes back once a week and calls twice a week anyway. I'll call him and talk to him."

Mrs. Yu was also very easygoing; she changed her clothes and went downstairs without any hesitation.

Over the next two days, news of Mrs. Yu's story quickly spread throughout the residents' group, giving the wives' circle a new topic of conversation.

The main reason is that these wives all feel that Mrs. Yu is too irrational. She has enjoyed the life of a rich wife and then proposed a divorce. She has never experienced hardship.

Gu Jia also felt it was a great pity, mainly because she had discovered that Mrs. Yu had bought a second-hand bracelet and was thinking of finding an opportunity to bring it up, implying that Mrs. Yu would recommend some of her family's business to their fireworks company.

Now that Mrs. Yu is divorced, even if Gu Jia were to buy a second-hand bracelet from Mrs. Yu to save face, she would only gain a bad reputation, so she gave up on the idea.
