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

After seeing Gu Jia off, Yang Ke also called Wang Yuting, indicating that she could come back in a few days.

After all, Wang Yuting had left, and none of the wives had come to the house, so he had no idea how things were progressing.

After the matter was settled, Yang Ke also came to where Wang Manni was staying.

"So, what did the doctor say?"

Yang Ke looked at Wang Manni, who was resting on the sofa, and asked her a question.

"The doctor said it was because I was working too hard before. Fortunately, it was found out in advance. I just need to rest for a few days and it's not too serious."

Wang Manni repeated what the doctor had said.

Wang Manni is suffering from acute nephritis? Due to overwork and prolonged urination, her kidneys became infected, eventually leading to acute nephritis, which caused her to faint and be hospitalized?

Fortunately, Yang Ke knew about her problem, so he brought it up the afternoon after they had an in-depth conversation.

Wang Manni didn't pay much attention at first, but she was shocked after going to the hospital for a checkup.

Fortunately, after these days of recuperation, there is no need to worry about a relapse of nephritis. Just pay attention to diet and rest from now on.

"Now you know how good I am, right?"

"Think about it, what are you working so hard to earn money for? Isn't it for this kind of life? Now I'm giving you everything."

"But how will you thank me?"

Yang Ke had just gone through what happened with Gu Jia today, but unfortunately, his act wasn't quite complete, so he naturally wanted to make amends with Wang Manni.

"Whatever you say goes. I'm yours now, so what's there to refuse?"

Wang Manni pulled aside the blanket draped over her body, sat directly in Yang Ke's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a smile.

"Come on, let me check if you're feeling better now after resting for a few days."

Yang Ke didn't stand on ceremony and directly gestured for Wang Manni to demonstrate, while he also used his True Sight Eye to observe Wang Manni's condition.

"Wang Manni, mood: cheerful, current favorability: 86."

It's alright. Don't be fooled by Yang Ke's approachable demeanor; there's still a significant gap between 50 points and 86 points. Without some emotional investment, he won't be able to improve further.

After 3 hours.

"Brother Wang, I..."

Wang Manni felt very wronged.

She originally thought she could win over Yang Ke and make him focus on her, but she didn't expect that even though she had just recovered from a long illness, she could still maintain her position for a full 3 hours. In the end, he was still full of vigor and high spirits, which was a huge blow to Wang Manni.

Didn't we agree that only the oxen would die from exhaustion? How come I'm the one who's dying from exhaustion now?

"It's okay, you did a great job."

Yang Ke patted Wang Manni's cheek, showing his satisfaction with her.

That's normal. He's currently at the peak of human physical fitness, and he also has the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic for daily health maintenance. How could Wang Manni possibly think she could beat him in a one-on-one fight? What a joke!

"I bought you a sports car, it will arrive tomorrow."

"Keep an eye on Zhong Xiaoqin from Junyue Mansion for me. If there's an opportunity, you know what to do."

Yang Ke first gave Wang Manni a little something sweet, and when she was happy, he brought up Zhong Xiaoqin's matter.

"Brother Wang, but she has a husband, and her personality seems..."

Wang Manni was conflicted, mainly because she felt that Zhong Xiaoqin was naive and innocent, but undoubtedly a good friend, and she couldn't bring herself to break them up.

"With her husband's personality, do you think the two of them can make it work? All the money is in his own account, and he doesn't even have enough money for his wife's taxi fare after work."

Yang Ke found this amusing.

How did Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni meet? Was it because she didn't want to borrow money from her parents, because they would worry about her, especially when they found out she only had 8 yuan. They might feel uneasy about her financial situation, which could even affect family relationships?

Finally, having no other choice, Zhong Xiaoqin borrowed money from Wang Manni, which gave her enough to take a taxi home.

"Yes, her husband's personality is indeed..."

After hearing this, Wang Manni suddenly realized that her best friend was having a tough time.

Actually, this is nothing. She lost her child, got divorced, and was forced to be together. Then, in some melodramatic way, Zhong Xiaoqin helped Chen Yu's mother buy a house, which made him grateful.

To put it bluntly, the female lead, Zhong Xiaoqin, is somewhat lacking in love. Even though Chen Yu is not good in many ways, she still forces them to be together.

After all, they represent three different lives; they can't all be divorced, or the show would never air.

"Yeah, just find me some whenever you have the chance, there's no need to create a special atmosphere."

Yang Ke's words were half true and half false.

He doesn't need Wang Manni to create opportunities for him, because he can create them himself.

Chen Yu was going to lose his job after divorcing Zhong Xiaoqin anyway, but since he accelerated their relationship, it didn't affect anything.

"Okay, then I'll try to find her more often and let you know how she is doing."

Wang Manni is very laid-back now. Mainly because Yang Ke has so much money, she is not worried about competing with others at all. What difference does it make if there is one more or one less?

After spending two days with Wang Manni, Yang Ke also met with Linda and Daisy, the Misia duo.

Linda was on the verge of a strike after serving as assistant store manager for a few days. The main reason was that she was not short of money now, and her competitor Wang Manni had left, so she naturally did not want to work hard anymore.

Daisy, on the other hand, is ambitious and wants to climb up to a position at headquarters. Both of them are pulling out all the stops to get what they want.

"You guys, it's only been a few days and one of you wants to resign and the other wants to transfer to headquarters, you're really something."

"Okay, okay, I agree. Don't rush it. You have to eat one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time."

"Yes, that's a good girl."

Yang Ke didn't want to agree at first, but Daisy somehow managed to turn Linda into her ally as well.

Caught between the two, Yang Ke had no choice but to go along with their wishes.

Yang Ke was having a great time, while Gu Jia was experiencing a lot of bad luck.

When Gu Jia returned home, she found that Xu Ziyan had not come back. The housekeeper told her that Xu Ziyan had gone to Mu Zi's house for a birthday party.

It's well known that Gu Jia and Mu Zi's mother have a very bad relationship, so how could she not worry about Xu Ziyan attending the birthday party? Therefore, she rushed to Mu Zi's mother's house.

Sure enough, when she arrived at Mu Zi's house, she found her son, Xu Ziyan, locked in a room. The door was locked, and Xu Ziyan's heart-wrenching cries could be heard coming from inside.

Gu Jia ordered Mu Zi's mother to open the door, and Gu Jia rescued Xu Ziyan, who was crying her heart out.

After comforting her son, Gu Jia took off her shoes. Like a raging lioness, she dragged Mu Zi's mother into the room and closed the door. Soon, Mu Zi's mother's pig-like cries came from inside.

"I'm definitely going to sue you, Gu Jia, just you wait."

A moment later, Gu Jia calmly opened the door and walked out. Mu Zi's mother, with injuries on her face and disheveled hair, threatened to sue Gu Jia.

"Then why don't you go?"

Gu Jia scoffed at Mu Zi's mother, saying that if she dared to call the police, she would accuse her of kidnapping Xu Ziyan and expose her dirty deeds such as taking kickbacks.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Yang Ke; it was Wang Yuting who told Yang Ke about it after he returned home.

After all, Wang Yuting knew that Gu Jia was one of Yang Ke's top targets, so she naturally brought it up.
